The car stopped at Chen Zhao's apartment in the capital.
Although it's called an apartment building, it's actually a residence for many high-ranking government officials, and the security in the complex is extremely high. However, if the target of an arrest is a top government official, it becomes the most dangerous place.
Now that Cheng Kejia has a better understanding of Chen Zhao's background, she hesitated when she thought about how the people who tried to arrest them were actually Chen Zhao's relatives.
Chu Nian said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you."
Cheng Kejia finally mustered up the courage to get out of the car with Chu Nian and then followed her into the elevator. Besides the three of them, there were two other men standing behind them in the elevator.
As soon as the elevator started moving, they suddenly pounced on Chu Nian and Cheng Kejia. However, Geng Qiu seemed to have already noticed something was wrong, and turned around to attack both of them with punches and kicks.
These two were highly skilled fighters, clearly having undergone special training. The three quickly exchanged several blows. Geng Qiu, fighting two against one, showed no signs of defeat.
The elevator stopped, the doors opened, and a group of people were waiting outside. Chu Nian smiled and waved to them, greeting them warmly, "Hi!"
They all rushed towards Chu Nian and Cheng Kejia in the elevator.
Cheng Kejia was so frightened her legs went weak. Then she saw this large group of people rush to the elevator door only to be blocked by an invisible wall. Moreover, those who rushed in at high speed had holes punched in their heads.
During this time, Geng Qiu had already knocked down the two people in the elevator and handcuffed them.
"What's going on?" Geng Qiu asked, puzzled. He easily stepped out of the elevator, turned around in surprise, looked at the group of people lying on the ground, and couldn't help but kick one of them, asking, "Do you know that we are Young Master Chen's men?"
"Take them all away!" Chen Zhao's voice came from the stairwell.
As the sound rose and fell, he had already reached the elevator entrance, followed by several people in police uniforms who took away the pile on the ground and the two people in the elevator.
Chu Nian released the elevator's open button and pulled Cheng Kejia out of the elevator.
Even after sitting down on the sofa in the apartment's living room, Cheng Kejia remained dazed, as if in a dream.
Wearing an apron, Zhang Chi carried two fruit platters of washed and cut fruit and placed them on the coffee table in front of Cheng Kejia, saying, "Miss Cheng, please have some fruit."
Cheng Kejia suddenly grabbed his wrist and asked, "Tell me, who exactly is Niannian?"
Zhang Chi was bewildered and honestly replied, "I don't know either." After a pause, he added, "I guess only Young Master Chen can answer this question, but unfortunately he won't." With that, he turned around with a helpless expression and went back into the kitchen.
When Chu Nian came out of the bathroom, she saw Cheng Kejia sitting on the sofa trembling. She went over and sat down next to her, and said with a smile, "Were you scared by what happened just now? Don't worry, those guys can't do anything to me."
Cheng Kejia gave her a strange look, then looked straight ahead.
Chu Nian picked up a strawberry, took a bite, and noticed that the woman next to her was trembling even more. She asked in surprise, "Still scared? It can't be that bad. Weren't those people taken away by the police? Chen Zhao is also negotiating with the relevant people. Maybe they won't come back."
Cheng Kejia suddenly turned to her and asked, "Niannian, can you tell me... who exactly are you? Why were those people stopped by an invisible wall before they got on the elevator?"
Chu Nian stared at her for a long time before finally accepting the fact that the other person was probably afraid of her. She smiled awkwardly and said, "That's just a minor spell."
Cheng Kejia: "Are you really an alien?"
Chu Nian: "Aliens? Who told you that?"
Cheng Kejia: "My brother said that the lab suspects you and Ai Wen are aliens."
Chu Nian: "I'm not an alien."
Cheng Kejia: "Then...who are you?"
Chu Nian: "Ghost."
An energy body is essentially formed from the condensed electrical waves of a ghost; it's not wrong for her to say she's a ghost now.
Cheng Kejia: "I'm not joking with you."
Chu Nian looked helpless: I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
She could only focus on eating the fruit.
Cheng Kejia added, "My brother also told me that there are signs that aliens want to invade our Earth."
"That laboratory is... On the night I went to Jueming High School to find you, we discovered an unidentified object that looked like an alien spaceship that came extremely close to Earth."
“Are you even listening to me? That night, your school let out early without evening self-study, but you didn’t leave. You dragged me away from the school gate.”
“I felt something was off that day. I’d been wandering around the school for ages, but suddenly I was outside the school, and you were right next to me?”
...
"What else did your brother tell you? Can you tell me all of that at once?" Chu Nian finally couldn't stand her rambling on and on and interrupted her.
Cheng Kejia paused for a moment, then said, "That's about it. Are you an alien or not?"
Chu Nian: "No."
Cheng Kejia: "Then who exactly are you?"
Chu Nian: "Ghost." How did we end up back here again? Sigh!
Cheng Kejia didn't believe it at all, and stared at Chu Nian with an expression that said, "You lied to me, you are heartless, ungrateful and unreasonable."
Chu Nian: "I'm telling the truth. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
Chen Zhao walked over and said, "After all this commotion, are you hungry? Since you came back early because you didn't go to evening self-study, let's have dinner early today!" As he spoke, he sat down next to Chu Nian.
Chu Nian nodded and said "Mm".
Chen Zhao called out to the kitchen, telling Zhang Chi and Geng Qiu to start eating as soon as possible.
Geng Qiu came out and asked, "Is dinner served so early?"
Chen Zhao countered, "What's the problem?"
Geng Qiu paused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No...no problem." He then turned and went back into the kitchen.
Chen Zhao peeled an orange, carefully removing the white lines from the segments, and handed one segment to Chu Nian. Chu Nian habitually took it and put it in her mouth, eating it with relish. After she finished, Chen Zhao handed her another segment.
Cheng Kejia tilted her head and looked at the two of them, then suddenly asked, "Are you two dating?"
Chu Nian replied, "No!" She took the orange Chen Zhao offered her again, but this time she didn't put it in her mouth directly. Instead, she asked Cheng Kejia, "Do you want some?"
Cheng Kejia instinctively looked at Chen Zhao next to her and, sure enough, found Chen Zhao with a black line on his forehead. She quickly shook her head and said, "I won't eat." Then she got up and sat on the single sofa next to her. As soon as she sat down, she noticed that Chen Zhao gave her a little look of praise that said, "You're teachable."
When Chu Nian turned to take the orange, Chen Zhao had already regained his calm and composed demeanor, quietly breaking off a segment of orange and handing it to her.
