Chapter 64 Han Shicheng has disappeared.
As long as it doesn't involve any gray areas, Jiang Chunrou never refuses her work assignments.
During this phone call, Jiang Chunrou also brought her a job opportunity.
After discussions between Jiang Chunrou and Liang Shi, the best solution they came up with was to bring in some veteran stylists from the Hong Kong area, which would require Su Yunruo's help.
Originally, Su Yunruo wasn't familiar with that side and was thinking of asking Fan Xingchen, but when she thought of Fan Xingchen, she remembered that Fan Xingchen had attended Tao Minmin's engagement ceremony that day.
Things suddenly became clear.
Using Tao Minmin is much easier than using Fan Xingchen. Her fiancé's family business has deep connections with the entertainment industry, so they should be able to help connect her with their team.
I told Tao Minmin about it in the morning, and got her reply in the afternoon. Tao Minmin's reply was quite interesting. Originally, Su Yunruo wanted her fiancé to help her, but it turned out that her fiancé had a friend he wanted to introduce to Su Yunruo.
Su Yunruo wasn't really interested.
It wasn't until Tao Minmin said that her friend was praised to the skies by her fiancé, who described her as nothing short of a genius.
Very well, you've been taken advantage of.
Su Yunruo was powerless against people who symbolized productivity, and agreed on the spot. The next day, she went out early to meet the future young couple.
The meeting place was at the Su Family Tea House. In order to give this genius enough face, Su Yunruo specially chose the most secluded private room.
Tao Minmin's fiancé continued to praise Su Yunruo, mostly saying things like she was number one in her major. Su Yunruo wasn't interested in her university grades, so the praise went in one ear and out the other.
She thought to herself that it was fortunate that her father had initially rejected the marriage proposal. If she had been set up on a blind date with such a talkative person, he might have done something that would have damaged the Su family's reputation.
While waiting, I saw a message from Lin Yuanzhou saying that Ms. Zhang's son was recovering well and was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
She: [I happen to be free today, would it be convenient for us to go to the hospital together tonight?]
If Su Yun thought that way, geniuses are probably very busy, and most likely they would go back to do their research after dinner, and could contact each other again if they needed anything in the future.
In general, since we're going out today, we should fill our schedules to avoid wasting time.
[It might not be possible today.]
Su Yunruo frowned: [What's wrong?]
I have to go out for a social engagement.
[Hasn't the funding issue already been resolved?]
A classmate is planning to introduce me to an investor, and I'm thinking that increasing my investment would improve my risk tolerance.
That's true. No company would complain about having too much capital. It might start with just one or two people investing, but later it becomes a diverse pool of capital, and the equity structure becomes increasingly complex.
Okay, I'll go another time.
If today is the only convenient day for you, I can have Xiaolin go with you. It's the weekend, and he has the day off.
Forget it, doesn't he still need to attend extra classes to prepare for the high school entrance exam?
Su Yunruo put down her phone, and Tao Minmin's fiancé spoke up apologetically, "Sorry, there's a bit of traffic outside, he'll be a little later."
Su Yunru shook her head, "It's okay, traffic jams are normal near Building A."
“Yeah, yeah, every time I come to Building A to shop, I have to be stuck in traffic for 2 hours first. I don’t know when that road was widened. It must have been built more than 20 years ago, Ruoruo.”
"It's been almost thirty years. Wasn't it only repaired when we were about to start kindergarten?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Tao Minmin wanted to speak up for her fiancé, and Su Yunruo couldn't refuse her, so she chatted with her for a while.
When Tao Minmin was losing patience, she checked the time on her phone and asked her fiancé, "Half an hour has passed, why haven't they arrived yet?"
Her fiancé also found it strange. "He's not usually unpunctual. I'll call and ask him what's going on."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Tao Minmin arranged for her fiancé to leave, then turned back to Su Yunruo and said, "Ruoruo, wait a minute, he might have run into some trouble on the way."
Su Yunruo couldn't help but chuckle.
"why are you laughing."
"I laughed... I never thought that one day it would be your turn to tell me not to be angry."
Marriage may indeed change some people.
Su Yunruo wanted to tease Tao Minmin a bit more, but her fiancé opened the door again and came in, saying apologetically, "He's at the parking lot, he'll be up soon."
Tao Minmin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
Twenty more minutes passed, and the other party was still nowhere to be seen.
Today's meeting was truly terrible. Su Yunruo thought that perhaps she was wrong from the beginning. She shouldn't have chosen this location. There were too many uncertainties. She should have chosen a more convenient place to travel to.
Bored, Su Yunruo took out her phone again and sent a message to Lin Yuanzhou: [How's your project going?]
Lin Yuanzhou usually replies instantly, but this time he seems to be busy.
The wait for his reply seemed to be going on for a very long time, so Su Yunruo stood up to stretch her legs after sitting for a while.
"Isn't your friend going a bit too far? He doesn't even leave the house in advance."
Tao Minmin said from behind.
Su Yunruo also felt that she had waited too long. This unpunctual person had already left a very bad impression before he even showed up. Su Yunruo was about to lose interest in him.
Instead of wasting time like this, I'd rather stay home and look at the documents Jiang Chunrou sent me.
Bang bang
The waiter pushed the door open and came in. "Ms. Su, your guest has arrived."
It's finally here.
Based on the information given by Tao Minmin's fiancé, Su Yunruo guessed that the other party should be a plainly dressed bespectacled man who might have a bit of a homebody vibe, or perhaps the kind of guy who would just wear a t-shirt and go out without any formalities. But when she turned around, she came face to face with Lin Yuanzhou who had just entered the room.
He paused for a moment, then raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose to hide his embarrassment.
“Miss Su, this is my old classmate, Lin Yuanzhou,” Tao Minmin’s fiancé introduced enthusiastically. “He was delayed by something on the day of the engagement and couldn’t come. I guess you haven’t met him before.”
If Su Yunruo had known it was Lin Yuanzhou, she wouldn't have come.
Now is what truly constitutes a waste of time.
"Wow!" Tao Minmin excitedly reached out and patted Su Yunruo a few seconds later, "Ruoruo, Ruoruo."
Su Yunruo turned her head to look out the window. The two roads opposite were still lined with cars, but for some reason, there were more people crowding downstairs in Building A than ever before. It was like when brands launched new products in the spring, and before the doors even opened, a large number of customers were already crowding at the door, scrambling to grab the goods.
Lin Yuanzhou must have had some trouble getting in; perhaps he was still waiting in line for the elevator, which is why he arrived so late and hadn't replied to her message.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, realizing that she was actually making excuses for Lin Yuanzhou in her mind.
Tao Minmin's fiancé asked in confusion, "Why are you so excited?"
"They went on blind dates before!" Tao Minmin, the big mouth, continued to chime in: "Ruoruo rejected them."
Her fiancé immediately looked embarrassed. "Is...is that so?"
Su Yunruo thought that since they were both rejected, could their relationship be deeper?
"Mm." Lin Yuanzhou nodded with a smile.
Su Yunruo remained silent and asked the waiter, "Why are there so many people downstairs?"
The waiter replied, "It seems that you were seen by fans when you came down. Now there are fans downstairs who want to see you."
Oh, she hasn't appeared in public for a long time after "Let's Travel Together" ended, so some fans are especially excited when they suddenly see her.
I also bear some responsibility for being late.
"Ms. Su, please rest assured, we have already closed the store and security personnel are evacuating the crowd."
Lin Yuanzhou was probably one of those who were evacuated.
"Okay, let's serve the food."
Su Yunruo turned to Tao Minmin's fiancé and said, "Actually, the blind date was a misunderstanding. Lin Yuanzhou and I were high school classmates. He studied at Su Zhongyuan High School, and I studied there for a while."
Tao Minmin's fiancé understood, and the awkward expression on his face eased somewhat.
The four of them sat down. Tao Minmin and her husband naturally sat to one side, while Lin Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Su Yunruo.
Getting closer, she could see that Lin Yuanzhou's innermost layer of hair was wet, twisted into clumps, and stuck to his skin.
Suddenly curious, she took out her phone and sent a message: "How did you get up here?"
Lin Yuanzhou had been keeping an eye on her movements, and his phone vibrated as soon as she sent the message, so he immediately took it out to check.
The stairs I climbed.
You could have just told me on WeChat.
He said on WeChat that if he had just mentioned Tao Minmin's fiancé, she wouldn't have been upset at all because he was late.
I didn't expect him to introduce you to me. I thought you were here to have dinner with Fan Xingchen.
Su Yunruo frowned. How did he make the connection to Fan Xingchen?
Lin Yuanzhou quickly answered his question, "Secretary Jiang told me that you've been busy with Fan Xingchen's movie lately, and there have been a lot of people around, many of whom said it was you and Fan Xingchen having dinner here."
Su Yunruo opened Weibo and, sure enough, saw the trending topic #SuYunruoFanXingchenDate#.
No wonder there were so many people.
There may be some of her fans below, but the vast majority are definitely just bystanders.
"Ruoruo, why aren't you two saying anything!"
Su Yunruo suddenly realized that she had been impolite, so she put her phone on the table and said, "There are too many of my fans downstairs. I'm arranging for someone to handle it."
Tao Minmin's fiancé said, "Miss Su is also very popular in Hong Kong. My mother and her friends are all watching Miss Su's dramas."
"Your mom actually likes her shows? Then I won't be able to talk to her anymore. Every time I watch Ruoruo's shows, I feel like I'm watching a comedy." Tao Minmin not only complained to herself, but also asked Lin Yuanzhou, "Do you feel the same way?"
Lin Yuanzhou suddenly sat up straight, his hands awkwardly resting on his knees.
Tao Minmin continued, "Of course there are, especially during kissing scenes."
Su Yunruo gasped.
That night, watching scenes from her own TV series at Lin Yuanzhou's house, she felt for a moment that she wanted to shut Tao Minmin up even more than Lin Yuanzhou did.
"I'm usually quite busy and haven't watched many TV dramas," Lin Yuanzhou replied to Tao Minmin as calmly as possible.
"What! You don't even watch Ruoruo's TV dramas? No wonder Ruoruo rejected you."
"..."
"..."
Su Yunruo rubbed her forehead and turned slightly to Lin Yuanzhou, saying, "Don't mind her, that's just her personality."
"So your friend is so naive."
"Um?"
Lin Yuanzhou chuckled and looked down. "This is my first time meeting your friend. It's quite interesting."
Su Yunruo didn't understand what was so interesting about it, so she turned around and told Tao Minmin to eat more and shut her up so she wouldn't bring up the matter of refusing or not refusing again, lest she "kill two birds with one stone".
The dinner party was originally meant to introduce people and make friends, but now it's become a gathering of old friends, so there aren't so many complicated procedures.
After dinner, some fans remained downstairs. Tao Minmin and her husband left first. Su Yunruo asked Lin Yuanzhou curiously how he got back. He said he originally drove, but there was a serious traffic jam on the road, so he left the car on the side of the road and took the subway.
Su Yunruo found it amusing to think of him in a suit squeezing onto the subway, so she kindly offered him a ride to where the car was parked.
On the way, Lin Yuanzhou said, "Are you free next week? You can see Ms. Zhang off. She has booked a flight back to her hometown next week."
"I'm going out to scout locations with Fan Xingchen next week, and we won't be back until the week after next."
"..."
The silence made Su Yunruo realize that she might have said something wrong, so she quickly added, "It's just work."
Su Yunruo watched the navigation system arrive at her destination and slowly stepped on the brake. "We're here."
Lin Yuanzhou unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and got out.
As he was closing the car door, he said, "Then let's treat Xiaolin to a meal when we get back from work. He went for a bone marrow transplant before, and I told him that I should reward him after the job was done. He's been looking forward to it."
"good."
...
Fan Xingchen has planned a week's worth of trips, mainly in the southwest region, which is full of mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery, making it the perfect place to shoot fantasy movies.
Su Yunruo specifically asked Liang Shi to help prepare her luggage, making sure that everything she needed, including sunscreen and masks, was ready. The day before the trip, she even turned down Lin Yuanzhou's meeting invitation and left him to Jiang Chunrou to deal with.
However, on the morning she was about to leave, she received devastating news.
Han Shicheng has disappeared.
They weren't taken away; they went missing.
This is truly a fictional world; even such bizarre things can happen.
The hospital immediately retrieved the surveillance footage, which showed that he was conscious when he climbed over the wall to leave the hospital. The police are now primarily responsible for finding him.
However, Su Yunruo had a bad feeling.
The reason Han Shicheng was kept under her nose was to prevent the plot from going wrong when the system disappeared. Now that Han Shicheng has also disappeared, Su Yunruo has a feeling that she can't control the situation.
Moreover, if you count the days, this period was the time when she was unable to get the love she wanted, was disgraced, and committed suicide.
Although the earlier plot has been altered, it is difficult to say for sure that Han Shicheng's disappearance is not related to the point in the book where she dies.
Su Yunruo had no choice but to temporarily decline Fan Xingchen's invitation.
Stay in S City and keep in touch with the police at all times to try to find Han Shicheng as soon as possible.
*
Under the dazzling lights, demons danced wildly, their cheers deafening.
Beauty and wine can make one feel like they're floating on air. Chen Wanxiang, who was dancing happily in the middle of the dance floor, was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
He turned around and saw Zhou Kantian with a big smile on his face.
As the saying goes, fame brings good fortune. Despite Zhou Kantian's numerous scandals, he has indeed become famous despite his infamy. His current attire looks more upscale than before.
"Brother Xiang, why are you alone today?"
Chen Wanxiang's intoxicated face instantly turned grim. "What?"
"Isn't Ruan Rourou with you?"
Mentioning Ruan Rourou, Chen Wanxiang's expression darkened further. "Your sister-in-law is busy filming."
Zhou Kantian teased, "Sister-in-law? Brother Xiang has already gotten her?"
"Of course, he's just a newcomer actor. A few pieces of jewelry and bags and he'll immediately become obedient."
Although Chen Wanxiang was talking happily, he was not as happy as before. Surrounded by beautiful women, he did not feel any joy. He stopped dancing and returned to his booth from the center of the dance floor.
The booths were occupied by brothers who usually hung out together. Since Grandpa Miao cleaned them up last time, most of them have been gone. Chen Wanxiang once naively thought he was a lucky one, but in reality, he was already a discarded pawn.
The drink tasted bland and tasteless.
Zhou Kantian followed closely behind him, "Brother Xiang, are you bored all by yourself? Shall I find you a few girls?"
Chen Wanxiang waved.
He had no interest in women anymore. The company was in trouble, and his relationship with that woman had broken down. All his energy had been focused on selling the company. He came here today simply because he was under too much pressure and had a fight with his family, so he came to release it.
"We've had a lot of female college students come here lately. They're pure and beautiful, definitely to your liking."
Zhou Kantian waved his hand behind him, "Come over here and have a drink with Brother Xiang."
Then a soft, sweet laugh rang in Chen Wanxiang's ears, and he couldn't stay still any longer.
He really wanted to curse Zhou Kantian, that ungrateful bastard, but then he remembered that Zhou Kantian was working for the same person as him, so he couldn't lash out. He simply pushed away the women who were trying to huddle around him and walked towards the door.
"Brother Xiang! Brother Xiang!"
Zhou Kantian, unwilling to give up, chased after him.
Chen Wanxiang frowned. "What? I need to pick up your sister-in-law now, or she'll throw a tantrum if I'm late."
Zhou Kantian glanced around furtively, and seeing that no one was around, he cautiously approached Chen Wanxiang and whispered, "Brother Xiang, we're all brothers, why are you pretending with me?"
"I heard you went to the gate of the 'Yaoyue Legend' training camp with luxury cars and jewelry, and they wouldn't even let you in?"
Chen Wanxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously.
He wasn't particularly familiar with Zhou Kantian; they had only been members of a WeChat group before. He would occasionally be entertained by Zhou Kantian offline, but he didn't think that entertaining Zhou Kantian once or twice was a disservice to him.
They're a bit ungrateful.
Moreover, now that Chen Wanxiang has broken ties with Han Yao, he already harbors an unquenchable anger whenever he sees anyone related to Han Yao.
"I have a way to make Ruan Rourou obedient."
My thoughts suddenly came to a standstill.
Chen Wanxiang's gloomy eyes instantly lost their luster, and he stared blankly at Zhou Kantian like a puppet, nodding.
The sound of turning pages echoed in the void.
*
Xiao Ou originally went to the private banquet hosted by Xianpai to make her face known and try to get the title of brand ambassador after "The Legend of Yao Yue" airs. She never expected that the news from Sister Mi would be that she would become the brand spokesperson.
She simply couldn't believe it. Even a top-tier actress like Pei Xue had to rent a dress from a wealthy woman to imply to the brand that she had the ability to drive sales before she could even get in touch with them. It had taken Pei Xue about a month to go from being an ambassador to being considered for the brand's spokesperson. Ruan Rourou had hardly ever been in contact with the brand, yet they were considering a collaboration based solely on some of their usual photos. It all seemed like a scam.
Sister Kemi said that it was indeed the regional manager of Fairy Brand who contacted her and even arranged to have a meal together.
Having a meal together is dangerous. Xiao Ou, who has heard too many gossip stories about female celebrities from her time in the gossip community, immediately asked about the gender of her dining companion.
Sister Mi said she's a woman, with a husband and children at home.
Therefore, the only explanation is that Miss Su made this arrangement on her own.
Yes, definitely. Everything makes sense once Miss Su's name is added to something so illogical.
The training camp is currently in a closed environment, making it difficult to get leave. Xiao Ou used her star-struck perseverance to plead with the person in charge for a long time before finally getting approval. Moreover, the time allotted was extremely short, just enough for one dinner, and she had to return to the training camp that evening.
Xiao Ou happily agreed and picked out a dress that matched the fairy-like style for Ruan Rourou, then took her to the banquet!
"Xiao Ou, what should we say to that regional manager? I've been busy with training lately and haven't done any research on their brand."
"Just give her a few words in response to whatever she says, and be as natural as possible."
“Oh.” Ruan Rourou nodded obediently.
A few seconds later, she asked again, "That's strange, why is it getting more and more off-center?"
Xiao Ou: "What?"
"It feels so far from the city center. I thought these kinds of meetings usually happened near Building A."
"They said it's some kind of resort." Xiao Ou glanced at the navigation, then looked at the increasingly dark sky outside. "It does seem a bit remote, but Sister Mi said she's already waiting for us there, so everything should be fine."
My only worry was completely dispelled after I exited the highway and entered a popular resort.
This place even features nighttime views; as soon as you enter, you see trees on both sides covered with tiny, sparkling yellow lights, and young men and women strolling together.
It could be a college student or a company team-building activity on the weekend.
Further in, there is a large lawn where tents are set up, and there are many small stools and tables in front of the tents, surrounding a barbecue grill with smoke rising from it.
Ruan Rourou rolled down the car window slightly. "It smells so good."
"Hold on! You're a woman who needs to control your weight. If you're found to have gained weight when you step on the scale, you'll have to increase your training volume."
"Waaaaah, it's been so long since I've eaten anything oily."
"Does it make you feel any better if you could earn 2.08 million a day without eating these things?"
"That will be many, many years from now."
"Eat the biscuit first!"
The two chatted idly for a while until they reached the parking lot. Xiao Ou's parking skills were now superb; he successfully parallel parked on his first try and led Ruan Rourou to the villa number that Sister Mi had mentioned.
Among the many villas, that villa wasn't particularly special. Sister Mi picked up Ruan Rourou at the door. Xiao Ou was about to ask Sister Mi when it would be over, but just as she was about to speak, Sister Mi turned around and eagerly pulled Ruan Rourou inside.
Xiao Ou felt something was off, but then she thought that the person in charge might already be waiting inside, and it was normal for Sister Mi to be anxious.
She returned to the car alone.
That's the downside of being an assistant. For formal occasions, the manager takes you there, and you, the assistant, can only stay in the car and be ready to be called upon at any time. If there's anything, just grab it from the car and send it over.
But it's just a matter of sending it over; I can't participate in anything.
Xiao Ou sat there and suddenly remembered what Sister Jiang had told her on the day she joined the company—that if she wanted to develop in other directions, the company would strongly support her.
At the time, Xiao Ou had no idea about career development. She had abandoned her major to become Su Yunruo's assistant. All she cared about was the high salary and the opportunity to work in the entertainment industry. She didn't care about promotions at all and was just trying to stay out of trouble.
But after going through so much, now that I'm truly committed to this job, many of my thoughts have changed.
She wanted to work hard to develop her career as a talent agent, not simply to return to Miss Su's side openly, but she slowly began to fantasize about taking her artists into formal occasions like banquets and dinners.
It would be even better if she could be Xingxing's manager! She would definitely dedicate herself to helping Xingxing with her career.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth turned up.
Xiao Ou was full of energy and pulled out a law book from the box.
A qualified agent should be able to spot loopholes in the contract immediately when it is about to be signed, so it is essential to thoroughly study the legal clauses and terminology.
Sizzle sizzle
Xiao Ou's phone suddenly vibrated.
Sister Mi: [Xiao Ou, you should go home first tonight. We drank a bit too much here, and we'll probably have to stay overnight.]
Xiao Ou immediately replied to the message: "Mi-jie, the training camp said we have to go back tonight. How long are you guys planning to drink? I'll try to get some more time from the training camp manager."
Bang bang bang
Mi Jie didn't reply, and the sudden knocking on the window startled Xiao Ou.
She turned around and saw a person wearing a baseball cap and a mask just a window away from her.
He was clearly tall and was hunched over. The car lights were on, but there was no light outside, so he could see her clearly, but she couldn't see him at all.
Where is Ruan Rourou?
Bang bang bang
Is Ruan Rourou in the car?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ou panicked. Was this an extreme stalker fan? How did he know Ruan Rourou was here? He had been paying special attention on his way here and hadn't been followed by any other cars.
"Little Ou, Little Ou!"
!! These terrifying stalker fans not only followed Ruan Rourou, but they even found out her name.
Xiao Ou dared not delay any longer. She took out her phone to call Sister Mi and was about to contact the resort's security to take the person away. "Don't come any closer, I'll call the police right away."
The man seemed intimidated by the police; he flashed past the car window and disappeared. Xiao Ou breathed a small sigh of relief.
But he quickly regained his composure.
The man took a brick from somewhere and pretended to smash it against Xiao Ou's nearby car window.
Xiao Ou was so frightened that she quickly started the car, but she was also afraid. She was parallel parking, and if she went out, she would inevitably run over the man. What if there was an accident? Wouldn't her life be ruined?!
She calmed down and called Sister Mi.
Sister Mi is probably busy; I can't get through on WeChat or phone, and when I dial her number, the call is immediately disconnected.
She really needs to call 110!
Just when Xiao Ou was on the verge of a mental breakdown, the man took off his mask and baseball cap and knocked on the window again.
When his face was so close, Xiao Ou's first thought was: wow. This sasaeng fan is kind of handsome.
The next second she realized, isn't this Han Shicheng, the show-off who got disfigured during a skydive?!
This lunatic actually escaped from the mental hospital! It's terrifying! He has a license; he can kill without breaking the law!
Xiao Ou dared not think about anything else now; saving his own life was the most important thing, so he started the car without hesitation.
Snap
Without hesitation, the brick in the man's hand landed on Xiao Ou's car window.
She quickly raised her hand to block, but her arm was still inevitably scratched.
You're crazy, you're crazy!
Help!
Xiao Ou instinctively tried to scream, but when she opened her mouth wide, she couldn't make a sound; she was completely terrified.
"Which villa did Ruan Rourou go to?"
Xiao Ou shut her mouth. "You, you, you... don't do anything reckless! I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon."
Han Shicheng said urgently, "Chen Wanxiang is going to drug her! Tell me where she is right now."
"W-what?" Xiao Ou put down his hand. "What Chen Wanxiang? We're here to see the person in charge of the Immortal Tokens. The person in charge of the Immortal Tokens is a woman. How could there be a Chen Wanxiang?"
"Speak quickly!"
Han Shicheng's roar startled Xiao Ou so much that she couldn't think of anything else but Chen Wanxiang drugging Ruan Rourou.
The logic suddenly became clear.
No wonder Ruan Rourou was able to become the spokesperson for the Fairy Brand so easily, no wonder they came to such a remote place, and no wonder we couldn't get through to Sister Mi on the phone.
If what Han Shicheng said is true, then Ruan Rourou is in danger!
Han Shicheng was now like the only lifeline she could grasp, and she quickly gave him the villa's building number.
Han Shicheng turned and ran.
He ran so fast that in the brief moment Xiao Ou unbuckled her seatbelt, he was almost out of sight.
She took off after him, but ran so fast that she got a stitch in her side and her lower back started to ache.
Hoo-ha hoo-ha
I can't tell if it's the sound of the wind or my own heavy breathing.
When I finally reached the villa, I heard the sound of shattering glass on the second floor.
Xiao Ou subconsciously looked up and saw that Han Shicheng, with his tall figure, had effortlessly grabbed a short and fat figure and thrown him down from the second floor.
"ah!"
Xiao Ou was startled.
The resort has specially provided each villa with a small courtyard, and arranges for people to maintain it every day. The lawns are even more lush than those in the homes of wealthy people.
There's a lump of flesh lying there now.
His clothes were wide open, he wasn't wearing pants, and he was lying naked on the ground.
His face was directly facing Xiao Ou, his eyes wide open. Blood flowing from his head first slid down his temples and then into his eyes, but his eyeballs were completely unaware, not even blinking.
Then, red liquid, like tears, flowed from the inner corner of his eye down to the bridge of his nose, climbing over mountains and valleys, until finally Chen Wanxiang's face looked as if it had been split in two by blood.
Tick-tock
The sound of the flying guillotine falling to the ground echoed in Xiao Ou's mind.
Clearly, Chen Wanxiang died with a bang.
--dead.
This was the first time in Xiao Ou's life that he had ever seen it.
The other person wasn't a good person, but seeing him die like that, it was as if many things from before had suddenly been taken away, gone, everything about him was gone.
Da da da da
The sound of hurried footsteps brought little Euler back to his senses.
"Drive to the hospital, quick."
An anxious person was calling out in front of him.
Xiao Ou looked down and saw that Ruan Rourou had completely lost consciousness. He immediately stopped thinking about anything and turned around to drive away.
All she could think about was driving faster and navigating to the nearest hospital.
Everything that followed was rushed. I hurriedly drove to the hospital entrance, hurriedly sought help from the nurses in the emergency room, and hurriedly followed the doctor until the nurses told me to wait at the entrance.
When she first came to the hospital at night, she found that it seemed even busier at night than during the day, with the sound of rollers rolling back and forth constantly.
beep beep beep
Time passed by, and Xiao Ou finally remembered to call Sister Mi.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off."
What happened to Sister Mi?
I hope nothing bad has happened to her.
Xiao Ou, who had almost lost her ability to think due to a series of events, suddenly stood up. She should call the police immediately. There were so many things that needed to be clarified, including Han Shicheng, Chen Wanxiang, Ruan Rourou, and Sister Mi.
Xiao Ou shakily dialed 110, and just as he was about to make the call, he heard a series of hurried footsteps in the distance.
The voice was steady and powerful; she had heard it countless times.
Bang bang bang
Her heart was pounding in her ears.
It's like a lonely and helpless person finally finding support in the vast sea of people.
Before she could even turn around and see the real person, Xiao Ou's tears welled up instantly.
Not only Miss Su, but Xiao Ou hasn't seen Jiang Chunrou since that incident either.
A hand gently landed on her shoulder. "Xiao Ou, are you alright?"
"Waaaaah, Sister Jiang."
"What exactly happened?"
Xiao Ou could only say "I don't know," it was too complicated. Han Shicheng suddenly appeared, Ruan Rourou was supposed to meet the person in charge of the fairy tablet, but why did she become Chen Wanxiang? Why didn't Sister Mi answer the phone? Was Chen Wanxiang dead or not?
There are just too many things.
"Come, sit down and rest for a bit."
Jiang Chunrou helped her sit down next to her, took out a bottle of drink from somewhere, twisted it open, and handed it to her. It was sweet and orange-flavored.
Xiao Ou felt as if she had drunk some magic potion; her anxious and upset heart immediately felt much better.
