Fang Lan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and pinched Lin Ruanruan's cheek. "I just felt like I had a very long dream, and I was a little dazed just now. When you came, the dream ended."
He couldn't remember the contents of his dream.
Lin Ruanruan looked at Fang Lan with tearful eyes, "I'm so glad you're alright. You have no idea how worried I've been about you these past few days."
Lin Ruanruan then sat down beside Fang Lan's bed and told her everything that had happened in the past few days, "While you were being held hostage, the entire country's upper echelons were in turmoil. Just the day before yesterday, they released a list of all spies and traitors..."
Lin Ruanruan spoke earnestly, and Fang Lan listened attentively. He hadn't expected so many things to happen in just a few days; it was as if he hadn't been missing for a few days but for several years.
"Xu Chaomu has disappeared, Mayor Mo has run away, and you still haven't returned." Lin Ruanruan pursed her lips. "Fang Si didn't tell me, but I guess the people who kidnapped you in the end weren't Xu Chaomu's or his group, right?"
"Because the pace is too fast. The Huo family and the Xuanyuan family were originally prepared to compete with the Xu family for land next year, but now Xu Chaomu is already in a panic."
Lin Ruanruan looked up at Fang Lan, "Unless someone has given the answer directly, and the only person who could know so much is Xu Chaomu or Xu Chaosheng, right?"
Fang Lan stared at Lin Ruanruan, then slightly curled her lips, "Ruanruan is really smart. I don't know if it's the answer or not, but I have indeed been with Xu Chaosheng these days. He has imprisoned me in a villa on the mountain."
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened, and she stammered, "What...what does he want to do? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"Did he know everyone was watching the Xu family and that he couldn't escape, so he wanted to make amends? And then use you to get the Fang family to let him go?"
Fang Lan shook her head. "He died. He died amidst the crimson sunset."
At this point, Fang Lan's eyes welled up with tears, "I saw it with my own eyes..."
Fang Lan rested her head on Lin Ruanruan's shoulder and wrapped her arms around Lin Ruanruan's waist. "Ruanruan, I feel so strange. I shouldn't be crying for a scumbag, but I can't stop. You don't know how many strange things he's said to me these past few days..."
Lin Ruanruan hugged Fang Lan and patted his back. As she listened to Fang Lan's experiences these past few days, an unbelievable thought popped into her head: was the original novel she was reading fake?
The boy who caused a scene at Xu Chaosheng's engagement in the original story eventually died by suicide. This is just a small part of countless plots. At the engagement, Xu Chaosheng only said that he was just playing around.
As the story neared its end, the Xuanyuan and Huo families, along with numerous other companies, overthrew the Xu family. Xu Yeluo and Xu Chaosheng were both imprisoned, while Xu Chaomu escaped abroad.
The male protagonist, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, and the female protagonist, Huo Xian, finally became a couple, and Huo Xian became pregnant. The two were extremely loving.
The story ends here.
When Xu Chaosheng and Fang Lan first met on the playground, she immediately thought of the boy who was deceived in the original story and wondered if it was Fang Lan. In order to prevent Fang Lan from being deceived by Xu Chaosheng, she directly told Fang Lan Xu Chaosheng's true identity.
Fang Lan then kept her distance from Xu Chaosheng.
Listening to Fang Lan's description now, she guessed that Fang Lan really was the boy who was deceived in the original story.
Xu Chaosheng, who behaved strangely in front of Fang Lan, was reborn. Unlike the original story, Xu Chaosheng genuinely liked Fang Lan.
The things he said to Fang Lan must have happened in his previous life. He remembered all of Fang Lan's likes and dislikes, which were very different from Xu Chaosheng in the original story.
Although there are big differences, it cannot be denied that both Xu Chaosheng in his previous life and Xu Chaosheng in this life have done all sorts of bad things.
Lin Ruanruan ruffled Fang Lan's hair. "Fang Lan is just too kind. After all, a living person died in front of you. It's normal for you to cry. Even if it was a cat or dog that died in front of you, you would still be sad, let alone a human."
"Is that so?" Fang Lan looked up with some doubt. Why did he feel that it wasn't?
Lin Ruanruan nodded affirmatively, "Of course, he did this simply to make you remember him. This guy is really scheming. He hurt so many people and still wants to provoke you before he dies. We just won't do what he wants. How shameless of him to make us, Fang Lan, remember him."
Fang Lan chuckled, "I don't want to remember him. You have no idea how awful he was."
I force him to sleep in my arms every day, and I force him to watch the sunrise and sunset with me. It's so annoying!
Thinking of this, Fang Lan suddenly looked up and said, "Ruan Ruan, I remember he told me that Hao Cheng is a half-finished product. I don't know what that means. Let's go find my dad and my brother."
Lin Ruanruan patted Fang Lan's shoulder reassuringly, "I know about this. I didn't have a chance to tell you just now. It has been revealed that the Xu family has been conducting human experiments all along."
"The Liang family and the Xu family also have this kind of cooperation. Liang Yan was once sent to a laboratory by her father, Liang Tan, for experiments. Her first child was a normal child. When she was pregnant with her second child, she was taken to a laboratory for experiments again. The experiments were very successful. She is very likely to be carrying a child with extremely high strength and intelligence."
"So Liang Yan was very afraid of the baby in her belly, so much so that her condition worsened. But now Hao Cheng has basically recovered. Since he didn't directly undergo drug trials, he doesn't need to take medication regularly."
Fang Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lin Ruanruan say that. "My God, how complicated this world is."
He had no idea that the Southern Province where he lived was like this; he was lucky to have survived until now.
Lin Ruanruan smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as you are all okay, that's good. Many children from welfare homes in Yang Province have also been rescued and can now receive normal treatment and be adopted."
"Fang Lan, are you hungry? Let's go get breakfast."
As soon as Lin Ruanruan finished speaking, Fang Lan's stomach growled. He wasn't shy at all, "Let's go, let's go eat first."
With Lin Ruanruan by her side, Fang Lan had no time to think about anything else.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Fang Lan noticed that the atmosphere between Lin Ruanruan and her older brother and father was strange.
Normally, the two of them would have been vying to serve food to Ruanruan, but today they were quite well-behaved. Lin Ruanruan didn't greet them, only simply saying good morning to her mother. However, her mother, Ms. Huang Min, was unusually quiet today.
After finishing her meal, Lin Ruanruan consciously left the restaurant, leaving the space to the Fang family.
Fang Lan was stunned by Lin Ruanruan's actions. Before he could stand up and call out to Lin Ruanruan, Huang Min hugged him.
Huang Min's voice trembled slightly, "Son, you've suffered so much these past few days, Mom thought she'd never see you again..."
Fang Guowei and Fang Si sat silently on the stool.
