Not only Ruan Luo, but Lin Fengzi herself also became the one being roasted on the fire.
In fact, when he first stood up and spoke, many classmates had already shown him contemptuous and disdainful looks. Of course, Lin Fengzi didn't care much at the time, since his purpose was just to buy time to save people, and he would have plenty of time to explain later.
But what's the situation here with Ruan Luo?
Lin Fengzi's heart skipped a beat. She looked up at Ruan Luo's expression and found that the boy showed no surprise at all. He calmly withdrew his hand, casually wiped it on his pocket, looked around innocently, and asked Anda, "What does this mean?"
Lin Fengzi suddenly understood why Ruan Luo had asked her about the instrument earlier.
Although he didn't know how Ruan Luo did it, it was clear that this was not his actual test result.
"Ruan Luo!" Lin Fengzi stepped forward to grab him, but was forcefully pushed back by several guns.
Anda looked at Ruan Luo with a smile, surprisingly lowering his posture, "You are the distinguished guest we are looking for tonight, please come back with us."
He spoke kindly and acted very respectfully, but everyone knew that if Ruan Luo was taken away today, he would probably never have the chance to return to China in his lifetime.
There was some commotion in the crowd, but few people recognized Ruan Luo, and besides, there were about a hundred dark gun barrels pointing around, so no one wanted to take the risk.
Some individuals were even grateful to Lin Fengzi.
“Oh, distinguished guest?” Ruan Luo asked in return, his eyes revealing an arrogance that came naturally. “Do you know who I am? If you’re really taking me away as a guest, that’s fine. But if you’re up to something shady, then I suggest you take your dirty hands off me.”
He pointed with disgust at Anda, who had somehow linked arms with him.
It was only then that Anda noticed the noble and proud aura emanating from him. He didn't have the air of a student; he was clearly a young master from a wealthy and powerful family.
"And you are?" He became more wary. If this person really had some powerful background, tonight would be troublesome.
Of course, this trouble doesn't refer to giving up the goal that has already been achieved, but rather that all the students present tonight must die, so as to ensure that those bigwigs in China will not suspect them soon.
Ruan Luo didn't rush to answer, but slowly straightened her expensive suit. "I see you guys are all-powerful and capable. Why don't you investigate my background?"
His goal was the same as Lin Fengzi's: to buy time.
Both of them had a strange confidence that someone would come to their rescue.
Anda's tone became increasingly polite, "What is your surname?"
"Check it yourself," Ruan Luo sneered.
He was now a hot potato, a situation that hurt to hold but couldn't be thrown away. Anda cursed inwardly, but was extremely polite, personally bringing Ruan Luo a chair and inviting him to sit down.
Ruan Luo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually. He even instructed Anda to pour him half a glass of red wine, which he then leisurely sipped.
The crimson wine barely touched his lips before he splashed it away with his other hand, his tone extremely impatient, "Get another bottle, this one is too old."
Suppressing his anger, Anda handed over another cup with both hands.
Fortunately, the ship's crew roster arrived quickly. Anda took it and checked Ruan Luo's identity against the photos and names.
Lin Fengzi and Ruan Luoxin both tensed up.
In that case, Ruan Chen's existence might not be able to be kept secret.
Ruan Luo's eyes darkened, and the wine glass she had been holding steadily trembled slightly before she slammed it heavily on the table, as if she were angry.
Anda subconsciously looked at Ruan Luo, thinking that he was going to do something strange again.
Ruan Luo was almost two heads taller than him. The young man had broad shoulders and was quite imposing when he stood up from the chair and approached. He seemingly casually but unexpectedly snatched the roster from Anda's hand and threw it directly into the sea without hesitation.
"Alright, I hate it when people see that ugly picture on my passport photo," Ruan Luo said lazily. "I'll tell you then, my dad is Ruan Zhengde. I can go with you, and you can ask him for a large ransom, which we'll split in half. It'll be at least twelve figures. Just don't sell me off cheaply."
His tone was nonchalant, like that of a good-for-nothing rich kid. "There are so many of you tonight, with so many guns. I know you're definitely going to take me away. Actually, I'm tired of staying at home. I don't mind going somewhere else, but I have a couple of things to tell my friend. We'll leave after that."
Anda looked somewhat lost. He recognized the name Ruan Zhengde, but it didn't seem like someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"No way? You don't know who my dad is?" Ruan Luo seemed to read his eyes, her tone smug, "The richest man in China, remember now?"
Anda immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not afraid of provoking these nouveau riche; what they fear are the people who truly have a say in China.
Before coming here, he was very worried that the person he was looking for tonight would be Marshal Lin's only grandson. He had even prepared for the worst when Ruan Luo was being pretentious earlier—to completely offend the Lin family.
Ruan Luo walked to Lin Fengzi's side, gave her a slight hug, and lowered her voice, "Take good care of my two sisters. Also, if you have the chance, please tell my mother I'm sorry. Anyway, it was Ruan Zhengde who wronged her first. Tell her to hurry up and find another man to have another child, preferably several, so it'll be lively."
When Ruan Luo said these words, his expression was completely normal, and he even had a faint smile on his lips. After he finished speaking, he gently patted Lin Fengzi's back, as if he were truly saying goodbye to a friend.
Without hesitation, he turned and walked towards Anda's group, still talking, "Let me make this clear first, no matter where we are, I have to stay in a five-star presidential suite, and the menu must be brought to me the night before for my review, because I have many dietary restrictions..."
A clear female voice interrupted him, her tone cool and lazy, "Give me a break, you're just making a fuss. Tell me honestly, did you cheat just now? I remember you were only at level three in the last mental strength test, how did you suddenly become a genius?"
Ruan Chen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her bright face full of coldness. She walked straight toward Ruan Luo and, before he could react, casually pulled a metal part from his pocket, threw it on the ground with a cold smile, "Well done, Brother Luo, you're quite the actor."
