Volume 1 Chapter 141 Fairy, Welcome Home
After eleven days of imprisonment, Du Ruo was finally released on bail.
Her mental strength had been completely exhausted. She spent most of her time in a coma and even became numb to the sound of the iron rod knocking.
The other side seemed to sense her fatigue, so they changed their strategy and took her out for questioning every few hours.
At first, they kept asking the same old questions, but later, they began to change their approach, placing different calculation steps in front of her every day, forcing her to look at them and calculate them, trying to capture any signs of change in her expression.
When Du Ruo saw those calculation steps, she knew that they had begun trying to crack her data.
If they succeed, the other party will be able to publish her conjecture first, and she will not be able to provide any evidence to prove that it is her own result.
These shameless people really do everything they can.
She could only force herself to keep a tight rein on her emotions, not letting them show their feelings, and trying every possible way to guide them in the wrong direction.
She hoped in her heart that Xu Jingmo could understand her implicit hints.
I also pray that grandpa can trust Xu Jingmo.
The moment she received the bail notice, Du Ruo knew that Xu Jingmo had done it.
Xu Jingmo is worthy of being Xu Jingmo. He is just like the worm in her stomach, the little Xu dog who can’t run away. She really loves him to death.
When she walked out of the detention center's door, she was greeted by two unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman.
When they saw her, there was obvious surprise in their eyes.
Perhaps it was because of her young age, or perhaps it was because of her exhausted state at this moment, neither human nor ghost.
They showed her their credentials and introduced themselves as ambassadors from the consulate.
Seeing them, Du Ruo felt a solid sense of security, and his long-tense nerves finally relaxed. The moment he shook hands with them, he suddenly fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in a familiar apartment with an IV hanging on her arm.
The lady who called herself Zhu was quietly guarding her bed.
Seeing her wake up, Ms. Zhu immediately asked with concern: "How do you feel? Are you okay? Do you want some water?"
Du Ruo nodded gently.
Ms. Zhu quickly stood up, poured her a glass of warm water, carefully helped her up, and fed her carefully.
Du Ruo said gratefully, "Thank you."
Ms. Zhu explained, "We have granted you bail according to the law, but the other party insists that you have leaked their important secrets and data. We are still in the stage of investigation and evidence collection. So, I'm sorry, we can't send you home now. You are still under house arrest. Your activities are limited to your apartment and you cannot contact the outside world. We will come to see you every day. You can tell us if you need anything."
"Don't worry, we have hired the best lawyers to defend you. As long as you want to go home, we will definitely send you home."
Du Ruo nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. I am sorry for the trouble."
Ms. Zhu was slightly stunned. The girl in front of her was a few years younger than her daughter, but she could remain so calm in the face of such a predicament... She was somewhat impressed.
Du Ruo didn't know if there were any listening devices in her apartment. If she said anything rashly, it would be a way of admitting that she had indeed discovered new results. So she said vaguely, "I still hope you can help me with all your strength. They can't accuse me of something I didn't do. My family is still waiting for me to go home. I don't want to make them worry. The New Year is coming soon, and I want to go home for the New Year."
Ms. Zhu promised solemnly: "Okay, don't worry."
Du Ruo began to live alone, without any electronic devices to accompany her. Only Ms. Zhu came to bring her meals every day, and those annoying FBI agents came to check her apartment to see if she left any useful data.
Each of them is racing against time.
How could Du Ruo, knowing clearly what they wanted, grant them their wishes?
Knowledge is in the head, not in the pen, so she won't leave any evidence.
She accepted the reality calmly, as if she was giving herself a vacation.
She asked Ms. Zhu to deliver raw ingredients to her every day, and she began to study her own cooking skills. The alarm would no longer be triggered, but the food she made tasted even harder to swallow than the food of white people...
All her books were taken away for censorship, and she was deprived of any chance to while away her time reading.
She started to draw, drawing cats, dogs, mountains, water, and Xu Jingmo... Xu Jingmo was so angry that he jumped up and down when he saw her.
Du Ruo couldn't help laughing when she thought about Xu Jingmo's possible reaction when she gave him these paintings.
No one can completely endure loneliness.
But Du Ruo can coexist peacefully with loneliness.
When the consulate and FBI staff checked on her condition every day and reported back, everyone couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. This little girl really deserves our respect from the bottom of our hearts.
This went on for 48 days.
63 days have passed since Du Ruo lost contact with Xu Jingmo.
The two of them couldn't see each other or talk to each other.
But Du Ruo was certain in her heart that Xu Jingmo would wait for her and even take good care of herself while waiting for her, because he was Xu Jingmo, the Xu Jingmo who listened to her the most.
Xu Jingmo really took good care of her just as she expected.
Upon learning that the country was taking rescue actions, he returned to school to continue his studies.
He could allow himself to be powerless at this moment, but he would not allow himself to be powerless forever.
He cannot interfere or get involved in what is happening now.
Then he should grow up as soon as possible to become someone who can intervene and participate.
Being depressed can't make him progress. At present, only learning can make him progress.
He wants to make himself stronger.
He was like the king of cabbages, becoming even more indifferent and not even willing to talk nonsense to others.
The three roommates were so stimulated by him that they also started to neglect their sleep and food.
In the final exam, their dormitory took the top four places in the grade with scores close to full marks, and was jokingly called the F4 of the best paper-taking students in A University by the alumni.
Finally, on December 31st, after three court hearings.
Du Ruo regained his freedom.
The moment she regained her freedom, the first thing Du Ruo did was to request a special plane to take her back home.
She eagerly made a list of the experimental equipment and tools she would need because she had a big hypothesis that needed to be verified urgently.
The National Security Service sent someone to pick her up personally.
Du Ruo boarded the plane and looked out the window at the city where she had lived for several years gradually moving away.
She smiled and waved, saying softly, "Goodbye, you."
The people around her couldn't help laughing at her almost childish tone, but their eyes showed admiration.
Her deeds have long been known to all important departments in the country.
No one does not feel sorry for her, and no one does not respect her.
Our country is so lucky to have her.
The plane landed in North City at 9 pm on January 1st.
When she got on the secret service's special car, someone asked her, "Do you want to meet your family first?"
Du Ruo looked at the familiar airport and land, and shook his head slowly, "No, I have to race against time, sir."
As night falls, the streets and alleys of the northern city are filled with the atmosphere of welcoming New Year's Day.
A low-profile black Red Flag sedan drove slowly on the airport highway and passed an LED display screen showing colorful green fireworks and scrolling black fluorescent text.
【Fairy, welcome home. 】
From the airport to the research institute, a distance of nearly 50 kilometers, all the buildings with display screens were showing the same picture.
The driver was puzzled and said, "Why are all the screens showing the same content today? What does it mean?"
Du Ruo looked through the car window at the gorgeous and ostentatious fireworks on the screens on both sides, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and silently responded in her heart, "Thank you, boyfriend."
It was not until Du Ruo was released from the research institute that she found out that electronic fireworks were playing not only on the display screens along the route she had to pass that day.
Instead, all the commercial screens in the whole northern city were playing "Fairy, Welcome Home" until midnight.
This topic even surpassed the hot searches for celebrities from various New Year's Eve parties and topped the trending list.
Countless people were wondering which rich young master had all the money but nowhere to spend it.
Who is the fairy?
Only Du Ruo knew that it was a homecoming gift from Xu Jingmo, a romance unique to Xu Jingmo.
