"You finally showed up." Lu Li looked at Xue Li'er, who was dressed in casual clothes, and said, "What? You're dressing like the locals after studying abroad?"
Xue Li'er bought this dress in Amman.
Arab women like brighter colors, and the clothes she is wearing don't match her sweet temperament.
Xue Li'er ignored Lu Li's teasing, took off her bag and placed it on the sofa. She walked to the balcony and pulled up the curtains.
"Lu Li." Xue Li'er turned and looked back at Lu Li, "I didn't go abroad to study, I was kidnapped."
"What?"
In fact, when the news spread in the imperial capital that Xue Li'er was going abroad to study, he was a little skeptical.
Because he understood Xue Li'er's feelings for Nan Xun better than anyone else.
She would never leave Nanxun without saying goodbye and leave him alone, especially after what happened to Nanxun's parents.
Although Xue Li'er's parents were wealthy, they were also small business owners, and they stayed away from people in their circle.
People in the circle didn't care about people with family backgrounds like Xue Li'er.
Just because she is Nanxun's girlfriend, there are still many people in the circle paying attention to her.
When her parents announced that Xue Li'er was going abroad to study, many people still didn't believe it.
The most popular rumor was that Xue Li'er was probably pregnant with some big boss's child. That's why she left the country without Nan Xun's knowledge to give birth to the big boss's illegitimate child.
But what Lu Li didn't expect was that Xue Li'er was actually kidnapped.
This caught him off guard.
"How... were you kidnapped?" Lu Li asked. "If you were kidnapped, why did your parents tell others that you were going abroad to study?"
Xue Li'er was silent for a few seconds. She couldn't tell Lu Li about An Jinli. If she did, the fact that she and An Jinli had conspired to kill Nan Xun's parents would be exposed.
"I don't know..." Xue Li'er said, "It was probably done by an international human trafficking organization. I was kidnapped abroad and almost sold to another country."
"International human trafficking organization?"
Lu Li had heard of this organization when he was studying abroad. It seemed to be called Dark Web.
But the domestic security is so good, I have never heard of them coming to the country to commit crimes.
"Are you sure?"
Xue Lier nodded. "That should be correct. They captured me and discussed how to sell me. It must be an international human trafficking organization."
"Then how did you escape?"
"They caught me and took me to the United States. I escaped when they weren't paying attention." Xue Li'er spoke slowly, desperate to make her lie sound good. "Luckily, a kind-hearted Chinese man took me in and helped me get a passport, so I could return home."
"Then why did you disappear for over a year?" Lu Li asked, "After escaping, you could have immediately contacted the embassy and returned home?"
"Their organization is very powerful." Xue Li'er continued to lie. "They have many minions in the US government. I saw their faces when I was escaping. I was afraid that they might have people in the embassy, so I hid in the Chinese man's house and waited until the rumors died down before applying for a passport."
Lu Li listened to Xue Lier's words and felt that there was something illogical about them. But for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was illogical.
"Why didn't you go home when you came back?" Lu Li asked, "Nan Xun...has been looking for you."
When Xue Lier heard Nanxun's name, her heart skipped a beat.
She also wanted to see Nan Xun, but she couldn't see him unless she could guarantee her own safety.
