The car came to a smooth stop in the underground parking garage.
Just as Ye Ruan was about to open her eyes, Gu Chen had already moved around to her side, unbuckled her seatbelt, and then reached a strong arm under her knees to steadily lift her up.
She was captivated by the pleasant woody scent emanating from Gu Chen and couldn't bear to open her eyes for a moment, letting him carry her up the elevator and take her home.
After arriving home, Gu Chen gently placed her on her bed, took off her shoes, adjusted the air conditioner to the most comfortable temperature, and covered her with a blanket.
She clearly sensed Gu Chen's series of actions, and the defenses she had just built up on the way back were almost collapsing.
How can this man be so alluring?
Her heart began to beat faster than she could control.
Just then, Gu Chen's cool lips landed on her forehead, and his magnetic, deep voice reached her ears, "Goodnight, my girl."
In that instant, Ye Ruan's heart, which had been racing, suddenly stopped beating.
Her heart only started beating again when she heard Gu Chen leave her room and close the door.
This man is like a tempting yet deadly poison.
From now on, she needs to be more vigilant.
However, some things seemed to be gradually slipping out of her control. That night, Ye Ruan tossed and turned, suffering from insomnia for the first time.
The next morning, she took a deep breath before opening the door, composed herself, and planned to walk out and face Gu Chen as if nothing had happened. But when she opened the door, she found that Gu Chen was no longer home.
Only fresh breakfast remained on the table.
A note was posted on the refrigerator door: "There's a bento box in the fridge. You can heat it up when you get home for lunch. Gu Chen."
Looking at the handwriting on the sticky note, which was just as smooth and powerful as the last one, Ye Ruan felt a warm current unconsciously flow through her heart.
She tore off the sticky note, took it back to her room, and put it in a box along with the previous one.
After doing this, she stood there stunned for a moment. Why did she do that?
Gu Chen was merely her prey.
Then she comforted herself, after all, it was her first mission, her first prey, so it was only natural to leave something behind as a memento.
After breakfast, Ye Ruan, as usual, slung her backpack over her shoulder, went downstairs, scanned a shared bicycle, and headed to school.
She went straight to the classroom, where Xi Cheng had already saved her a seat.
As soon as she sat down, Xi Cheng started gossiping with her, "Ruan Ruan, have you heard? Wang Ya has gone missing. And, just yesterday, his dad reported it to the police, and someone started shorting Pengju Industry."
I've heard from professional economic analysts that if Pengju Industry doesn't have any trump cards and can't negotiate with the other side, it wouldn't even have survived until today.
Ye Ruan had already guessed that Gu Chen was the one shorting the Wang family's Pengju Industrial, but she didn't show it on her face. She said with a slight surprise, "Didn't Pengju Industrial say it had strong foreign capital backing? How could it be so easily shorted?"
Xi Cheng pursed his lips, "When our school announced Pengju Industry's withdrawal of donations, Pengju Industry's past was exposed, and it already suffered a heavy blow."
This time, the analysts all said that Pengju Industry's business rivals were taking advantage of his weakness to kill him.
However, I don't understand these business matters. What I'm more curious about is Wang Ya's situation.
Ruan Ruan, why did Wang Ya disappear? The police have been investigating at our school since yesterday. Everyone who had a conflict with Wang Ya has been questioned by the police.
By the way, have the police contacted you?
Ye Ruan smiled slightly, "I've looked for her, but I've been at the hospital since the night before last. I didn't know Wang Ya was missing until the police came to me."
In fact, the police never contacted her. After all, Gu Chen dealt with Wang Ya to vent her anger, so it was impossible for him to both vent her anger and cause her trouble at the same time.
Upon hearing this, Xi Cheng stared wide-eyed at Ye Ruan, "So that's why you took the day off yesterday. You went to the hospital. Are you sick? What's wrong?"
"What kind of illness could some people possibly get? It's just that they've been sleeping with men too much, caused a death, and then they have to go to the hospital to resolve it." As soon as Xi Cheng finished speaking, a sneer-filled voice came from the back seat.
Xi Cheng instantly flew into a rage, grabbed a book from the girl's desk behind her, slammed it onto the desk, and angrily said, "Shu Yingyue, who are you talking about so sarcastically!"
The girl with the oval face who had spoken earlier looked at Xi Cheng and sneered, "Whoever seems guilty, I'll point it out. Xi Cheng, why are you so agitated? Did you go to the hospital yesterday too?"
Xi Cheng is usually very eloquent when gossiping, but she's the type who forgets her lines when she gets excited during an argument, and once she forgets her lines, she doesn't know how to argue anymore.
She stared at Shu Yingyue's hateful face, and after a long while, she could only manage to utter one word, "You..."
Just then, the school bell rang, and the teacher entered the classroom.
Ye Ruan calmly pulled Xi Cheng aside and said, "Ignore her, sit down and focus on the lesson."
Xi Cheng was furious, not so much because of Shu Yingyue's words, but because she hadn't performed well and hadn't won the argument.
Seeing Ye Ruan's calm demeanor, she leaned closer to Ye Ruan and asked, "Ruan Ruan, aren't you angry?"
Ye Ruan, looking every bit the good student, opened her book with the teacher. "What's there to be angry about? Some people have foul mouths, so just teach them a lesson and teach them to be clean-mouthed."
