Chapter 465
In the blink of an eye, the two left the villa, with Ling Jue driving them towards the restaurant.
On the way, Rong Rong sat in the passenger seat, constantly fiddling with her phone. She immediately put the phone on silent and sent messages to her friends and parents, asking them to call an ambulance to rescue Si Yuxiao and to call the police to rescue her.
She said she and the murderer were about to go to Shengdeju, and it would be best if the police could get there early and arrest the murderer.
Ling Jue drove without looking to the side the whole time, seemingly unaware of Rong Rong's subtle actions, though a faint smile always lingered on his lips.
In the rearview mirror, Ling Jue's eyes were even more indifferent, with a hint of coldness.
People often have to hit a wall a few times before they realize that all their efforts are in vain.
If Ling Jue wanted to, no one in this world could catch him.
He can use shielding devices to block the world's surveillance and satellite positioning, and even make everyone who sees them forget them.
It can be said that from the moment he and Rong Rong left Si Yuxiao's villa, none of the surveillance cameras could capture them.
To the people of this world, they are like ghosts, invisible and unseen.
But Rong Rong was unaware of all this. When she received the news that an ambulance had arrived at the villa and taken Si Yuxiao away, Rong Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She then sent a message to her friend asking if the police had arrived at Shengdeju.
The message just kept spinning and wouldn't send.
No internet? Rong Rong gripped her phone tightly in anxiety. She was sure she had enough credit, so the lack of internet could only be due to a bad signal.
But how could they not have internet access while walking on the main streets of the city?
Rong Rong's nose was sweating, and she kept glancing down at her phone, fiddling with it back and forth, clearly showing some anxiety.
Finally, Ling Jue smiled and said, "What's wrong, baby? Is there something wrong with your phone? Or, can I use mine?"
As he spoke, Ling Jue gripped the steering wheel with one hand, handed over his phone, and extended it in front of Rong Rong.
Rong Rong looked down and her face turned deathly pale. She froze on the spot, and the car became eerily quiet.
Ling Jue held up his phone for a long time, but Rong Rong ignored him. He turned his head and glanced at her in confusion, only to find that his phone's screen saver was a dead body.
Oh right, this is a photo he liked while browsing the internet yesterday that he casually used as his screensaver.
It seems the photo frightened Rong Rong?
Ling Jue quickly put his phone away, and the air became so silent it was suffocating.
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Rong's weak voice finally rang out again, "I can't use your phone."
Her voice was extremely soft and quiet; if Ling Jue hadn't had such excellent hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
A flicker of annoyance crossed Ling Jue's eyes; as expected, he had still frightened Rong Rong.
Ling Jue gently pressed the brake and parked the car on the side of the road. He then turned to face Rong Rong, who leaned back in fear. Her face was deathly pale, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
Ling Jue pulled Rong Rong into his arms and patted her back gently to comfort her, "Don't worry, give me your phone, I'll fix it for you."
Ling Jue's words of comfort did have some effect; Rong Rong's body was no longer tense. However, she hesitated to give Ling Jue her phone, fearing that he would discover something unusual on it.
She wasn't using a phone designed for the blind; she had just sent a message to a friend urging the police to come to the scene.
Rong Rong's silence made Ling Jue realize something. Then he smiled slightly, laughing at his own foolishness. How could he forget that the phone would expose Rong Rong's pretense of blindness?
He was so concerned that he forgot everything else.
However, it doesn't matter if Rong Rong doesn't give him a phone. The reason Rong Rong doesn't have internet is simply because he blocked the signal, and he just needs to unblock it.
"Never mind, I don't think I can fix it anyway." Ling Jue contradicted himself without batting an eye, patted Rong Rong on the back, and got up to continue driving.
"The signal might come back on soon; there might be a problem with the road we just passed."
Ling Jue comforted her again, and sure enough, Rong Rong's phone got a signal as soon as he finished speaking.
Rong Rong gasped softly, like a kitten that had just received a can of food. Ling Jue unconsciously grinned, but his smile was different from usual, filled with a relaxed sweetness.
Those in the live stream who understood Ling Jue's actions cursed him, but it had no effect on Ling Jue.
When the car stopped, Rong Rong got out of the car happily and expectantly, but her smile froze on her face.
There was no other reason than that the restaurant in front of Rong Rong was not Shengdeju at all!
"Aren't we supposed to eat at Shengdeju?" Rong Rong turned her head and asked Ling Jue, who got out of the car after her, with a puzzled look.
Their little expressions conveyed as much grievance as possible, and as much pitifulness as they could possibly express.
Her blinking eyes were veiled with tears, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings.
Ling Jue was almost ready to surrender; he found himself powerless against Rong Rong's tears and gaze.
As time went on, he became even more soft-hearted, retreating again and again without any principles.
It turns out that "his heart was melted" is not just a simple description, but a real fact; his heart, which was harder than a dried-up stone, had already been melted.
Hmm, it took... two hours?
Ling Jue's expression was cracked, like a statue split in two.
No, this won't do! How can he surrender so easily? He's the villain! He's powerful and cunning! He should have the upper hand!
Ling Jue decided to give it a shot. He immediately turned cold and said meaningfully, "What? Does Rong Rong know we didn't come to Shengde Residence? Can you see it?"
Rong Rong's face turned pale, and her smile looked more like a grimace. "I just remember that Shengde Residence isn't this close."
Ling Jue's heart softened again, and his body moved faster than his mind to pull Rong Rong into his arms. By the time he realized what was happening, he had finally resigned himself to his fate and surrendered.
Forget it, what's wrong with becoming Rong Rong's prisoner and completely losing myself? Rong Rong is worth it, he's willing, that's better than anything else!
"I wanted to surprise you, so I specially arranged this new restaurant. You haven't eaten there yet. Come on, let's go try it?"
Ling Jue's voice was extremely gentle. He himself didn't know he had this talent—the talent to coax people, the talent for gentleness.
Ling Jue put his arm around Rong Rong and walked into the store. Rong Rong's smile became increasingly forced. She knew that it would be pointless for her to call the police.
Ling Jue: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh."
Rong Rong indeed stopped smiling. Ling Jue was somewhat saddened, but still ruffled Rong Rong's hair.
The two sat down in the specially decorated room, and the dishes were quickly served. Ling Jue cheerfully told Rong Rong to try them.
He changed restaurants not only because he knew Rong Rong had called the police, but also because the police had already laid an ambush at Shengdeju.
The main reason was that he didn't want to go to a place full of Rong Rong and Si Yuxiao's memories.
He wanted to create more sweet memories and romantic landmarks that belonged only to the two of them with Rong Rong.
Seeing that Rong Rong was absent-minded, Ling Jue picked up his chopsticks and fed her bite by bite.
Rong Rong remained uninterested, and Ling Jue finally said helplessly, "Let's have something to eat first, and then we'll go to Shengdeju."
Rong Rong immediately opened her eyes wide, like a withered flower that suddenly straightened up and was injected with vitality.
"Okay!" Rong Rong's soft voice was like a lark's, and she immediately started eating heartily.
Ling Jue found it both funny and sad, and could only shake her head, dutifully serving food and feeding others.
