Fu Lin personally visited Huating Public School.
Ruan Chen realized that his attitude towards her was excessively polite.
She only thought it was because of Fu Jianzhi; she didn't know that she had already caught the eye of many powerful figures.
Those people are meritorious figures, pillars, and elders of China.
"Want to stay at Sister Ruan Chen's place for a few days?"
Fu Jianzhi nodded.
Fu Lin rubbed his hands together, looked at Ruan Chen, and asked, "Ruan Chen, is this a convenient place for you?"
“It’s convenient. There’s a spare room next door, and Jianzhi and I have already tidied it up.”
Fu Lin rubbed his son's head and said, "Then Dad will ask your teacher for three days off. Dad will come to pick you up in three days."
Ruan Chen took leave as well and strolled around the entertainment area of Huating Academy with Fu Jianzhi.
Neither of them mentioned the past of Meicheng.
“Sister,” Fu Jianzhi said, sitting side by side with Ruan Chen by the frozen musical fountain, breathing out cold air as they ate ice cream, “I’m sorry.”
"What?"
"If I had known the Ruan family treated you badly, I wouldn't have said anything."
Ruan Chen then remembered that the little brat was talking about the day Fu Lin came to the rescue station.
Her beautiful eyebrows curved into a smile. "Things are fine now, after all, I've moved on."
"Sister," Fu Jianzhi seemed unusually preoccupied today, "if you don't see me for a very long time, will you still remember me?"
"I even named you, how could I not remember?"
Fu Jianzhi was slightly happy, then said, "My dad is sending me to study in another city, and we may not see each other for a long time."
Ruan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head to look at his overly clear black and white eyes. "You... came all the way here to say goodbye?"
"Hmm." Fu Jianzhi lowered his head and tugged at the seashell button on his pants.
Ruan Chen gently patted his hand, "Stop pulling."
"Sis, I saw you looking at the National Medical College today. Do you want to study there?"
"No, it's just about a friend, I was just looking around."
"How about you go to study at Beijing University of Technology in the future?"
"You want to study at Beijing University of Technology?"
If I went, would you go?
Looking at Fu Jianzhi's puppy-like, wet, expectant eyes, Ruan Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Pinky promise".
-------------------------------------
late at night.
Fu Jianzhi was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
Qinyuan Garden was already quiet, but now it was eerily quiet, with only the sound of snow-laden branches breaking outside.
He was a little scared, so he grabbed his blanket and went to knock on the door next door.
The door to Ruan Chen's room was wide open, and there was no one there.
Fu Jianzhi didn't turn on the lights or shout; he bit his lip and calmly analyzed the situation.
Ruan Chen's blankets were neatly folded, indicating that she hadn't gone to bed when she left the room; her computer and phone were still in their places, and she had even changed her shoes before leaving.
But it's already three in the morning, in the wind and snow, in the dead of winter, where could she go?
Fu Jianzhi ran back to her room and called Fu Lin.
"Dad, something might have happened to my sister."
Ruan Chen was in complete darkness, his hands were tied in front of him, the surrounding environment was quiet, and the temperature and humidity were just right, but there was some bumping around.
It should be some kind of mode of transportation.
Before going to bed, she was still worried about Lin Fengzi, so she tried to track Lin Fengzi's IP address again.
That's when someone held a gun to her side.
"When I saw it was a little girl, I thought I had the wrong person. It really is you." The man's face was covered with a black cloth, and his laughter was hoarse and eerie. "Little girl, come with me, okay?"
Ruan Chen calmly got up, changed her clothes and shoes, and followed the man out without saying a word.
Having a gun in China and the ability to evade the heavy security at Huating Public School, Ruan Chen could smell the accumulated stench of blood on him over the years.
She didn't resist, nor was there any need to.
Anyway, the person who came wasn't there to kill her; otherwise, they could have taken action after confirming her identity.
With a long blast of the horn, the ship arrived at the port.
"Brother Tianlang, the helicopter is ready."
Sirius descended to the lowest deck—he had first taken Ruan Chen on a cargo ship to smuggle them to an island nation in Southeast Asia, and then took off directly from there back to Grahamston.
He paused slightly upon seeing Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen had actually fallen asleep, sleeping very soundly with long, calm breaths. Perhaps her sleeping position wasn't comfortable, as she slightly furrowed her brow.
He hadn't looked closely at his mission objective earlier, but now, with the flashlight shining on it, he could see it clearly.
Ruan Chen's face was flushed from sleeping, and her slightly curly hair fell beside her temples. She was young, but already breathtakingly beautiful.
It's a very clean and beautiful style.
"Brother Tianlang, where did you get this girl? How much is she worth?" one of the underlings chimed in. "Did the boss take a fancy to her? You know what, the way this girl's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to the boss's—I'm talking about that half of her face."
"Nonsense, how many times have you even seen Brother Ze?" Tianlang took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw away the butt, bent down, picked the man up, and strode toward the helicopter.
After boarding the helicopter, probably because of the loud noise, Ruan Chen opened his eyes wearily, yawned, and looked out the window.
"woke up?"
Ruan Chen wasn't frightened—the darkness and cruelty she witnessed during her years in the slums were unimaginable to many.
She said lazily, "Uncle, we're already on the plane, aren't you going to untie me? At least give me some water."
Sirius had already removed the hood covering his face, revealing a striking head of short, silver-white hair.
His eyes were also a very light white-gold color, equally silent, coldly staring at Ruan Chen who seemed utterly fearless, his body radiating a murderous aura cultivated from years of wandering in the darkness.
He had never seen such an arrogant hostage.
But after looking at him for a while, Tianlang realized that what his younger brother had said earlier was not unfounded. Ruan Chen's eyebrows and eyes, especially the arch of his eyebrows and the shape of his eyes, really resembled Su Ze's.
Ruan Chen stared at him silently for a moment, but feeling bored, she simply closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Before drifting off into a deep sleep, Ruan Chen mumbled a reminder in an almost dreamlike voice, "The sun is about to come out, lower the sunshade on the porthole. Your illness will worsen quickly if you expose yourself to the sun—you should know that yourself."
Six o'clock in the morning.
Fu Lin braved the wind and snow to personally visit the First Military Academy Research Institute.
"Senior brother, it was my fault. I underestimated the strength of the person who attacked Ruan Chen."
The office was filled with smoke, and Nan Jing's face was obscured by the smoke as she focused intently on writing something.
"Since you dared to come here, do you have some clues?"
“My son was with Ruan Chen all day yesterday. He said that Ruan Chen first looked at the information on missing persons from the National Medical College, then did an IP tracking, and spent the rest of the time doing his own thing. I suspect that Ruan Chen was inexperienced and was reverse-tracked. The power of the outlying island has expanded rapidly in recent years, and this is not the first time they have used despicable means to snatch people from China.”
Nan Jing nodded approvingly, "Ah Lin, you haven't regressed too much. Your findings are basically consistent with what we found here."
"I'll go to Liuli Island right now and bring Ruan Chen back. Even Blood Skull has to give me some face."
“No rush,” Nan Jing said with surprising composure. “Ah Lin, come here. I have two documents here for you to take a look at.”
“This belongs to Ruan Chen.”
"This is my good-for-nothing student, Su Ze, who defected eight years ago."
