Chapter Thirty-Eight: Trivial Skills
Knowing he was in the wrong, Si Zuochen pursed his lips, turned his head to the side, and remained silent.
Jiang Ran had already figured out his temperament and didn't bother arguing with him.
Turning around, she took out a talisman she had just drawn in the car from her bag, folded it, and put it in Si Youlin's pocket.
Si Zuochen looked surprised and puzzled.
Gu Nan, however, seemed unfazed. Ever since she started drawing talismans in the car, he had become accustomed to her bizarre and superstitious behavior.
I don't know if it will work, but I'm not worried that a talisman will cause any harm to Si Youlin.
Just then, Gu Nan's phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Gu Nan quickly answered the phone and began negotiating with the other party.
After hanging up the phone, he walked to the side and said, "The car has arrived, but it's too remote to get in. Let's carry the person out first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran pursed her lips and said, "After we get out, we should find the nearest hospital first. His body temperature is too high right now, and he is prone to convulsions."
"And remember, never let the amulet I just gave him leave his body."
Si Zuochen, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but sneer, "Superstition!"
Jiang Ran didn't care at all, since those words weren't meant for him anyway.
Gu Nan nodded after hearing this.
It's a trivial matter anyway, not worth arguing about.
On second thought, Jiang Ran's words implied that she was giving instructions to them, as if she wasn't going along.
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow and asked, "And what about you?"
Jiang Ran glanced thoughtfully at the distance and said in a deep voice, "You guys go first, I have some things to do behind me."
Leave?
What can I possibly do by staying here?
Can't we find evidence?
Gu Nan frowned slightly, just about to say something, when she heard Si Zuochen speak first.
"Since Uncle Anan isn't leaving, let's go first."
"Given Ah Lin's current condition, we should take her to the hospital first."
Si Zuochen urged her from the side, but Jiang Ran said she didn't want to travel together, and he was more than happy to go their separate ways.
He felt disgusted even spending a moment longer with her, breathing the same air as her.
Although it was indeed she who gave Si Youlin acupuncture just now, and he has improved.
But who knows what her purpose is?
Didn't we try to win them over in the same way before?
Thinking of this, a hint of disgust flashed in Si Zuochen's eyes as he looked at Jiang Ran.
It all started because of her!
If Si Youlin hadn't followed her out and witnessed that scene, he wouldn't have felt so annoyed, and they wouldn't have been wandering aimlessly here.
Why did it end up needing someone else to rescue it?
Jiang Ran noticed the way Si Zuochen was looking at her, and looked up, but Si Zuochen avoided her gaze.
Looking at Si Youlin's state, Gu Nan nodded, though she didn't understand Jiang Ran's behavior.
He replied, "Okay, then we'll be going now."
With that, he picked up Si Youlin and turned to leave.
There's some distance from here to the highway. Thinking about what happened today, Gu Nan was a little puzzled and asked, "How did you end up here?"
Si Zuochen paused for a moment, then resumed his usual demeanor: "We wanted to go out and have some fun, but we accidentally got lost."
Gu Nan nodded without doubt, but gently reminded him, "Don't go out alone next time. Bring a few people with you when you go out."
"We were lucky to find them this time. What if it was a deliberate kidnapping?"
"The old man was also very worried after he heard the news."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen quickly looked up and asked, "Grandpa knows too?"
"If you can't find anyone, you should at least inform your elders first."
Si Zuochen lowered his eyes: "Didn't I already press the emergency button?"
"Hmm?" Hearing Si Zuochen's words, Gu Nan tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Hmm? When?"
"Around four o'clock."
Then, Si Zuochen recounted the situation at that time.
To everyone's surprise, Gu Nan stopped in her tracks and shook her head seriously: "No, I didn't receive any alarm notification."
"Then how did you find us?" Si Zuochen asked, looking surprised.
The thought that his police report hadn't been received filled him with lingering fear. If they hadn't come looking for him after what had just happened, then he and Ah Lin...
Si Zuochen pondered, then suddenly dared not continue thinking about it.
"Locate the GPS on your watch," Gu Nan explained.
Then continue walking forward.
Si Zuochen's eyes darkened. He felt relieved, but then he suddenly remembered that Jiang Ran was also among them, and he couldn't help but frown again.
"That woman stayed there alone; is it because she did something wrong?"
"No," Gu Nan said.
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen was taken aback. He had always known that Gu Nan was of one mind with them and also looked down on that woman.
But now he's actually speaking up for her?
Gu Nan felt the surroundings suddenly quiet down. When she turned around, she saw Si Zuochen looking at her with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
She sighed softly and explained, "Don't overthink it. I haven't changed my opinion of her; it's just that I really owe her a lot today."
"Hmm? What does GPS positioning have to do with her?" Si Zuochen looked disdainful, his contempt undisguised.
"She came with you because she wanted to curry favor with us."
Hearing his words, Gu Nan hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's not that she's following me, but that I'm following her."
“GPS can only pinpoint a general area. I’ve sent more people to search, but it will still take some time.”
"It turned out that she was ahead of me without knowing her location, and she led the way the whole way, which is why she was able to find you so quickly."
Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Si Zuochen frowned slightly, his face showing surprise.
How could she be faster than Gu Nan?
Moreover, she couldn't possibly have known their location beforehand, because she had no way of predicting when Si Youlin would have an accident or where they would settle down.
It's even more impossible that she orchestrated this whole thing. She would have preferred that no one could find them, so why would she have led the search?
Si Zuochen pondered, feeling somewhat agitated.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after they left, Jiang Ran stood still, coldly watching the black mist in front of her constantly approaching her.
She noticed the unusual place early on, and it was because of her appearance that the illusion in Si Zuochen's eyes was shattered.
The raging winds and torrential rain, the lightning and thunder, it's all just the black mist in front of us causing trouble, and this black mist is being controlled by someone behind the scenes.
She frowned, a sharp glint in her eyes, and coldly rebuked, "You're courting death!"
Immediately after stepping on the ground, spiritual energy emanated from his body, instantly dispelling the black mist wherever he went, and his vision gradually cleared.
In the blink of an eye, everything returned to calm.
Jiang Ran looked at the changes before her eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
With such limited abilities, you dare to show off your meager skills in front of her?
This time, let her remember this lesson well!
