Most of the time she appears lively, energetic, and even reckless, exactly what a young and naive girl should be like.
No, it's even more flamboyant, like a sapling struggling to unfurl its leaves, growing towards the sun with more tenacity and determination than anyone else.
But at times, she seemed like a woman who had endured the hardships of life, whose soul had suffered profound wounds, whether from life or from relationships...
Having been given the chance to be reborn, he refused to soften his stance any longer. From then on, he became clear about his goals and became so calm and worldly-wise that he was impeccable.
Rong Zhaonan put down the medicine box, chuckled lightly, and bandaged her up.
I've been so influenced by her that I've become confused; how could such a strange thing happen?
Rong Zhaonan looked at her wet hair, his brows furrowed, and he took a towel to dry her hair while he seemed to be deep in thought.
Her family of origin may not have been good; her parents' favoritism, meanness, and preference for sons over daughters are common occurrences these days.
However, it certainly didn't bring her such a completely different life experience and temperament from her upbringing.
After investigating her for so long, he was quite certain that the only man who had ever been by her side in the past was Li Yan. Was it him?
But Li Yan and she only had some initial interactions; they never had any intimate contact, and he was certain of that.
He must be her first man. Her breasts are so small that he can't even touch them, and if he touches them too roughly, they will make her cry.
Since there has been no intimate contact, Li Yan shouldn't be making her feel this way.
Combined with her knowledge, perspective, and the occasional strange words she utters, she is like a bizarre and mysterious contradiction.
In the first twenty years of his life, Rong Zhaonan had been on the battlefield, sent to labor camps, witnessed the chilling power dynamics in the capital, and seen that the moon was not necessarily brighter abroad than in China.
I have witnessed the pinnacle of humanity: leaving the hope of life to comrades, and burning one's life out for faith and protection.
He has also witnessed the most despicable framing, betrayal, and treachery, experiences that many people may not have in several lifetimes.
Rong Zhaonan dried her hair and slowly stroked the girl's beautiful and quiet eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips.
The reason why Tai Sui is Tai Sui is because he is good at observing his enemies, deconstructing them from limited information, quickly grasping their weaknesses, and then—no matter what means he uses, he can kill them with one blow!
Ning Yuan was the strangest person he had ever met. He used all his abilities to investigate her past, but it was all in vain. She was also someone he couldn't deconstruct through strategic analysis.
Without a matching background, it seems like a strange entity.
Rong Zhaonan gave a self-deprecating smile, but he had lost control in his suspicious research on her.
He hates the feeling of being out of control and being addicted more than anything else in his life.
He looked intently at Ning Yuan, wishing she were simpler, like the girls these days.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Captain."
Rong Zhaonan got up and walked towards the door.
Old Xu stood at the door, handed him a set of clothes, and whispered—
"The hospital arrested two main culprits, both of whom were Ning Yuan's classmates. One was a school bully in her second year of high school, and the other was in her class."
Rong Zhaonan's eyes turned cold: "You're all students? Do you have a life-or-death feud?"
Ning Yuan is well-liked, but she doesn't get along well with some classmates at school. He knows that, but how did it come to the point where she would be put to death?
Old Xu chuckled softly, "Yeah, they're all so ruthless without any life-or-death feud. I only realized how terrifying those criminals, even spies, in their forties and fifties aren't actually that scary after I retired and started this line of work. The scariest thing is..."
He paused for a moment: "It's those teenagers and young men in their early twenties who hang out in society. They're impulsive and reckless, they have no respect for the law, they have a knife in their hands, they get a little incited, they get hot-blooded and dare to stab anyone, and they'll kill them. They're willing to do anything."
For example, that student named Zheng Baoguo is this type; he actually managed to get involved with a human trafficking ring that sells his own classmates!
Veteran police officers have said that when ordinary people encounter this type of thug, it's best not to have a direct confrontation with them.
We'll figure out how to settle accounts and pursue the matter later.
"What's wrong with that woman?" Rong Zhaonan frowned.
In such heinous cases, women are usually accomplices, so how come they are the principal offenders here?
Old Xu shook his head and said sarcastically, "That woman, I heard she's some kind of school beauty. I don't know how my sister-in-law offended her. This kind of woman bullies people, probably because the classmate's grades are better than hers, or because they stole her thunder. This time it was this Lin Juanzi who asked the man to kidnap my sister-in-law."
This type of female bully forms cliques at school.
If the teachers don't intervene, they escalate their actions by spreading rumors, bullying and insulting classmates, and isolating them to demonstrate their power.
If the teachers are strict, they will form gangs outside the school and find a 'street thug' as their backer.
They beat or even physically harmed classmates off-campus, stripped them of their clothes, and even had thugs rape their classmates.
“My wife is also a middle school teacher. She also said that these school kids are either really honest or have no moral compass whatsoever. If you have children, you must teach them how to protect themselves from a young age,” Old Xu sighed.
The innocent and uninhibited wrongdoing of teenagers and children can be chilling and unbelievable even to adults.
Old Xu added, "And Li Fang, whom we brothers rescued, was actually Zheng Baoguo's accomplice as well."
"Later, she was harassed by those human traffickers. The traffickers never expected that my sister-in-law was so capable. She suffered heavy losses and also had a conflict with Zheng Baoguo. They took their anger out on her."
Rong Zhaonan turned to look at Ning Yuan, his eyes deep and unfathomable. She had always been very wary of him.
If Ning Yuan were like other naive high school students, without being so worldly and cautious, she wouldn't take Ah Bai with her everywhere she goes.
If she fell into the hands of her three classmates, she would probably suffer a fate worse than death.
But not only did she survive, she survived until Ah Bai came to rescue her, and she even launched a counterattack, making those three main culprits suffer.
A complex and indescribable expression appeared on his handsome face.
Ning Yuan's entire past has shaped her into who she is today...
So what kind of woman did he initially want to become his wife?
Looking at his captain's expression, Lao Xu hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and whispering, "Captain, I just got back to the station and received a telegram. There's something..."
Rong Zhaonan frowned after hearing his explanation: "So, I have to leave ahead of schedule?"
"That's what they mean. I'll wait for you outside." Old Xu nodded, his feelings somewhat complicated. The captain was about to leave again.
"Alright, we'll meet again in the future." Rong Zhaonan smiled faintly, patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, and the two hugged.
After seeing off the reluctant Old Xu, Rong Zhaonan returned to his room.
He squatted down in front of her, looked at her for a long time, and used his long, slender fingers to brush aside the fine strands of hair on her face.
"I promised to teach you self-defense last time, but I didn't. I've broken my promise. I'll arrange for someone to teach you in the future."
He paused, stood up, put on his uniform, buttoning it all the way up, his cool eyes lowered—
"As for our situation, you're right, we should think carefully about whether we're really compatible..."
She probably won't remember what happened in the bathroom tonight, even after she sobers up tomorrow. If she does remember, it doesn't matter.
She doesn't care... what she did with him!
Rong Zhaonan gave a cold, mocking laugh, put on his wide-brimmed hat, pressed the brim down on his handsome brow bone, and turned to leave swiftly and decisively.
