Chapter 122 Life or Death
"If you want to travel around, you can stay a few more days."
Fang Gan noticed a hint of reluctance in her expression.
Sang Ruo subconsciously shook her head: "There are still things waiting for me to go back to the clinic. I can't stay long this time. I have to leave tomorrow morning."
"Didn't you say you bought an afternoon high-speed train ticket? How did it become a morning ticket? Did you change your ticket?"
Fang Gan glanced at her curiously, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Didn't we encounter a thug at the food street today? Mr. Bo said I'm in a pretty dangerous situation right now, and since he's going back to Beijing tomorrow, he plans to take me with him."
Sang Ruo walked to the stone table not far away and sat down on the stool.
Upon seeing this, Fang Gan quickly followed.
After the two sat down facing each other, Fang Gan looked up at her and said, "Ruo Ruo, there's something I don't know if I should ask."
Sang Ruo had already guessed what he wanted to ask, but she still nodded in the end: "Okay, ask away."
"Are you dating that Bo Jinyan?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo's heart leaped into her throat.
This problem far exceeded her expectations.
She originally thought her senior brother just wanted to ask what her relationship with Bo Jinyan was, but she didn't expect his question to be even more direct.
"Why are you suddenly so quiet? Could you two actually be together?"
A palpable tension appeared on Fang Gan's face.
After being interrupted, Sang Ruo shook her head without hesitation: "No, how could that be?"
"I feel that your uncle has a very strong possessive desire for you. Don't you realize that he has other feelings for you?"
Sang Ruo's hand, which was resting on her lap, clenched unconsciously for a moment.
Although she and Bo Jinyan had a relationship, they were never officially together. How could she possibly tell her senior brother about such a thing?
"Brother, you're overthinking it, nothing like that happened..."
Seeing that she was unwilling to reveal anything, Fang Gan did not intend to press her further.
After a moment, he still whispered, "Ruoruo, although this Mr. Bo does seem better than your ex-husband, since he is a member of the Bo family, you should maintain a proper relationship with him and not overstep any boundaries, understand?"
In Sang Ruo's heart, Fang Gan has always been like an older brother.
It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, so she would naturally listen to Fang Gan's words.
But this was the only thing she couldn't control.
"Okay, I understand." She nodded gently. "It's getting late, you should go back and rest!"
After Fang Gan got up, he walked into the house with her.
When Sang Ruo returned to her room, she felt it was a bit stuffy, so she opened the French windows on the balcony.
Although there are no railings here, it's on the second floor, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Without thinking much about it, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, I seemed to smell a very strong and pungent odor, which smelled exactly like charcoal.
After opening my eyes, I suddenly felt weak in my limbs and my whole body felt limp.
When I turned on the bedside lamp, I saw that the room was filled with thick smoke, and there was a brazier in the center of the room, burning charcoal.
Thick smoke continued to rise, engulfing the entire room.
She quickly got up and walked towards the balcony, intending to open the door.
But after taking only a couple of steps, his legs went weak and his whole body involuntarily collapsed to the ground.
She quickly covered her mouth and nose, and when she got to the balcony, she found that the balcony had been locked from the outside and could not be opened at all.
She went to the windows and doors and found that they were also locked from the outside.
What exactly happened?
Could it be that someone wanted to murder her?
She suddenly recalled those scenes from the food street...
Could it be the same group of people?
Who exactly wants to kill her?
Sang Ruo quickly walked to the door and frantically pounded on it: "Brother! Brother! Save me..."
There was no sound outside, only the howling night wind outside the window.
Sang Ruo quickly went to the bedside, picked up her phone and called Fu Gan, but no one answered.
Suddenly, the image of that man appeared in Sang Ruo's mind.
She quickly found Bo Jinyan's phone number and dialed it without hesitation.
The phone rang for a while before being answered. A slightly tired man's voice came from the other end: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Bo Jinyan, save me..."
Sang Ruo felt dizzy and clearly realized that she couldn't hold on for much longer.
Bo Jinyan's tense voice came through the phone: "What happened?"
With all her might, she spoke into the phone, "Someone is burning charcoal in my room. The room is completely sealed off. My brother isn't answering the phone, and no one is responding to my knocking. I'm feeling terrible right now, Bo Jinyan..."
At this moment, inside a hotel owned by the Bo family.
Bo Jinyan suddenly stood up from the sofa, his hand holding the phone clenching tightly for a moment.
Zhang Ye, who was sitting next to him, also quickly stood up.
"Don't worry, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, the man picked up his coat and car keys and walked wearily towards the door.
"Mr. Bo, what happened?"
Zhang Ye got up and walked towards the door, a look of curiosity in his eyes.
After entering the corridor, Bo Jinyan turned around and glared at him: "Didn't I tell you to send someone to follow Sang Ruo? Where is that person?"
Zhang Ye was stunned: "Mr. Bo, didn't we encounter thugs this evening? I want the person who was protecting Miss Sang to be sent back to the capital first."
Bo Jinyan's face was extremely gloomy, and he quickened his pace considerably.
Zhang Ye pressed further, "Has something happened to Miss Sang?"
Bo Jin cut to the chase and repeated to Zhang Ye what Sang Ruo had just told him.
After hearing this, Zhang Ye's pupils widened slightly in shock.
It's past midnight now. They were planning to rest, but they received an urgent remote meeting, so Mr. Bo woke them up to work.
If it weren't for this meeting, they probably would have already gone to rest.
Mr. Bo might not even receive a call from Sang Ruo...
The cold wind howling outside the window grew stronger and stronger.
Sang Ruo used her last bit of strength to pound on the door.
Finally, some noise came from the next room.
"Ruoruo, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Fang Gan's voice suddenly came from outside the corridor.
Sang Ruo, as if grasping at a last straw, said in a weak voice, "Senior brother, save me..."
Fang Gan, standing outside the corridor, immediately noticed that the door to the next room was locked.
