Pei Zhi's words were rather inappropriate, as if she were giving instructions.
Pei Zhi covered her mouth, then chuckled, "I don't know why, but I've been getting sentimental lately."
Cheng Xuelin quickly asked with concern, "Are you too tired? You have to go to school and take care of business at the same time?"
Cheng Xuelin thought for a moment, "Look, is there anything I can do to help?"
Pei Zhi smiled and said, "It's really nothing, I was just a little emotional just now."
Cheng Xuelin stared at Pei Zhi's face carefully and found that she hadn't lost weight and her complexion was quite good, which finally put him at ease.
"Xuelin, promise me that no matter what happens, you will always stay by Qingyuan's side, work with him, and contribute to our country, okay?"
"To contribute to the motherland?" Cheng Xuelin is still a freshman.
Cheng Xuelin frowned: "What contribution can we make to our country?"
Pei Zhi said firmly, "The two of you will definitely become the most outstanding talents of our country in the future. You must work together. No matter what happens, don't give up on yourselves. Promise me, okay?"
"Zhizhi, did something happen to you?" Cheng Xuelin sensed something was wrong.
Pei Zhi didn't care about anything else: "Promise me, okay?"
Cheng Xuelin noticed the anxious look on Pei Zhi's face, and moreover, what Pei Zhi said wasn't an unreasonable request.
"Okay, no matter what happens, I will never give up on myself."
Pei Zhi rubbed her temples. "Lately, I've been having bad dreams at night, and I tend to overthink things."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xuelin moved the tea in front of Pei Zhi away, saying, "If you have sleep problems, you shouldn't drink tea."
Pei Zhi sighed softly, her eyes filled with apology as she looked at Cheng Xuelin.
Hopefully, what she said to Cheng Xuelin today will have an effect on him.
After meeting Cheng Xuelin, Pei Zhi began drawing.
Four pictures a year, one outfit for each season.
Now that the Pei family's business is on track, with these designs left by Pei Zhi, they can produce four sets of clothes a year.
Even if the business doesn't get better and better, it can still stay afloat.
Pei Zhi calculated the time; she had been drawing for twenty years, totaling 80 drawings.
Aside from these, Pei Zhi didn't deliberately write a diary or leave any letters.
Then, Pei Zhi waited quietly for Cheng's mother.
It was two days later than she expected. It seems that Cheng's mother wasn't as ruthless as she thought.
To prevent Cheng's mother's plan from failing, Pei Zhi went to and from school alone and went out alone for several days in a row.
It was all to create opportunities for the mother.
For two consecutive days, Pei Zhi noticed that someone was following her, but the other party did not make a move rashly.
After school that day, Pei Zhi still noticed someone following her.
Pei Zhi deliberately took a secluded route, and as expected, someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief from behind.
Pei Zhi didn't even struggle before collapsing immediately after her mouth and nose were covered.
The man looked at the handkerchief in his hand. "Holy crap, this new drug is so potent? He collapsed in no time?"
The man with a scar on his face urged, "Hurry up, carry him over there, cash on delivery."
The man looked at Pei Zhi's face and chuckled, "This girl is really pretty, how about we..."
The scarred man smacked his companion on the back of the head. "You just got released, and now you want to go back in, huh?"
The man was still somewhat unwilling to give up, "We've already done it, what's one more time?"
The scarred man angrily shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, take the money, and we'll get in a car and leave to go somewhere else to make our fortune."
The man could only suppress his thoughts, "If it weren't for the fact that the old man offered so much money, we would have sold this woman; we could definitely have gotten a good price for her."
The two men carried Pei Zhi to the transaction site. When Cheng's mother saw Pei Zhi, she readily gave her the money.
After counting the money, the scarred man grabbed the other man and ran away nimbly.
After coming down from the rooftop, the scarred man immediately instructed, "You, gather a few people and chat with them, then tell them to report the incident to the police."
"Huh?" The man seemed to have heard something unbelievable. "Brother, are you alright? Are you going to call the police and have them arrest us?"
"Are you out of your mind?" The scarred man kicked the other man rudely.
“That old man told us to take the person to the rooftop. I was afraid that if someone died, the two of us wouldn’t be able to escape.”
The scarred man just wanted to make some money to start a business; if someone died, they would all have to go to jail.
"Once the person reports the case, we'll leave quickly. Since no one has died, they won't launch a large-scale arrest operation against us."
The man gave the scarred man a thumbs up, "No wonder you're the boss, you're really smart."
The man immediately listened to the scarred man's words, casually found a stall, and started chatting with a few people.
Soon, a passionate young man went to report the incident, and the man gracefully withdrew from the scene.
Meanwhile, Pei Zhi was also pondering when it would be appropriate for her to wake up.
I wonder if Cheng's mother has made the arrangements yet. What if she wakes up early and disrupts Cheng's mother's plans?
So Pei Zhi simply lay down for a while longer.
Cheng's mother tugged at the ropes around Pei Zhi's wrists and ankles to make sure they were secure before kicking Pei Zhi with her foot.
"Wake up."
Pei Zhi blinked her eyelashes and then slowly opened her eyes.
Cheng's mother thought that Pei Zhi would be very scared if she saw her.
Pei Zhi's eyes were clear, and she showed no sign of panic.
Cheng's mother led her to a rooftop, where Pei Zhi was lying on the ground with rusty railings behind her, which were probably not very sturdy.
In other words, Cheng's mother could easily push her off from here with just a little effort.
Although the method was a bit clumsy, Cheng's mother was old, and it was already quite good that she was able to find someone to kidnap her.
Pei Zhi shifted around for a moment and then sat down on the ground.
"Why didn't you call out?" Pei Zhi's actions were unexpected by Cheng's mother.
Because she was worried that Pei Zhi would wake up and make a scene, Cheng's mother specially found an abandoned building.
Pei Zhi was brought here by her, but Pei Zhi neither cried nor made a fuss, and didn't even question her.
"What are you shouting for?"
Pei Zhi closed her eyes: "Come on."
Startled by Pei Zhi's behavior, Cheng's mother took two steps back. "What do you mean?"
"You had someone kidnap me and bring me here, you didn't just want to chat, did you?"
Pei Zhi didn't bother pretending in front of Cheng's mother anymore. "You just want to kill me, right? Just give me a gentle push now."
Cheng's mother was trembling with fear. Did Pei Zhi know what she was saying?
"Come on, after I die, no one will talk nonsense in front of Cheng Xuelin anymore."
"Your son and you have made up now, don't you want him to never speak to you again?"
Pei Zhi continued to coax her gently: "Besides, no one saw you push it, you won't be in trouble."
