Chapter 98 Planning
After a night of revelry, Ning Che stayed in bed again in the morning.
Fu Chengyun got up early, went to the next room to wash up, and then returned to his room. He tiptoed to the bedside, stroked his thumb across his slightly open lower lip, and wiped away two drops of saliva.
"Take your medicine on time, Jia'er, I'll take care of my business."
He wasn't sure if Ning Che heard it, but he couldn't help but want to give him a few words of advice.
Pulling the quilt, Fu Chengyun got up and went downstairs. After a simple meal, he went to the company.
In the car, he sent a message to Chen He: Sister, is Jiaer okay?
Chen He: Not dead!
Fu Chengyun: This can’t be blamed entirely on Cheche. He just wanted to take the kids out to play.
Chen He: If we lose it while playing, then don’t play with it anymore. Our Jiaer doesn’t need such a playmate.
The words on the screen had weakened a lot of the wit, but Fu Chengyun still heard a strong sense of accountability.
Fu Chengyun held the fuselage tightly with his hands, trying hard to suppress his anger.
I apologize on Cheche's behalf.
Chen He: I, a humble family, can’t afford Mr. Fu’s personal apology! He’s so precious, yet he still hasn’t said anything. Can’t he speak for himself?
In the early morning, thick clouds gathered darkly in the sky, the sun was hidden behind the wind and rain, and the inside of the car was even gloomier.
Fu Chengyun put away his phone and stared out the window, thinking.
Judging from Chen He's attitude, Jia'er was probably fine. But having nearly lost her life, she was right to be tough. She just couldn't let the conflict between Ning Che and the Chen family continue. Besides, Chen He was backed by the Bai family, a family that rivaled the Fu family.
From any perspective, this matter must be resolved.
Bai Yan was Chen He's mother, and both families must have a unified stance on this matter. If he rashly apologized, not only would he not get any good results, but if not handled properly, it would likely exacerbate the conflict.
Cheche has a bad temper and likes to fight.
Chen He was sharp-tongued and angry.
Although Bai Yan is kind and gentle, he is also very ruthless.
…
Fu Chengyun quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Butler Li. "If Cheche goes out, please be sure to report your itinerary to me."
Butler Li: Don’t worry.
——
Ning Che woke up and leaned against the bedside table in a daze.
He had been staying indoors for the past few days, partly because he was truly out of form and partly because Chen He was furious, and he was trying to avoid conflict. But now, he'd figured it was the fourth day, and not showing up would seem insincere.
But you can't go out empty-handed. If you don't bring a big gift, you probably won't even be able to enter the Bai family.
He immediately called Zhao Si, asked for the address of the welfare home where the abducted little girl was, and sent a driver to pick her up.
The Rainbow Group was also sent to the hospital where the human traffickers were located, and tried to sneak into the ward of the two criminals and shoot a video.
After arranging everything, he went into the bathroom to wash up.
On the white wooden rack under the mirror, there are a variety of hair ties.
His fingertips moved along the hair rope, and he finally chose the whitest and plainest one.
Use your palm to gather your hair to one side, put the hairband on your palm and tie it loosely at the end of your hair.
I don't want to be too energetic today.
I looked at myself in the mirror. My face was pale, with a blue tinge under my eyes and my lips were pale and bloodless. My long hair was loose, and I looked half-dead.
Go upstairs and change clothes.
He wore a simple white shirt and black pants, even his bow tie and cufflinks were removed. Without a single adornment on his body, if it weren't for the exquisite tailoring of his shirt, he would have looked no different from a real estate salesman.
Go downstairs and walk straight past the restaurant.
Butler Li called for dinner, but he waved his hand and said, "I have no appetite."
You can't eat easily. What if you get better after eating?
Walk to the shooting room in the backyard and pick up a rosewood sword from the sword rack.
Steward Li found him two swords, one expensive and one cheap. He used the mahogany one regularly, but this red sandalwood sword was so exquisitely crafted and delicate that he had never been willing to use it. He had someone build a sword stand and placed it on top for display.
Just looking at it every day makes me happy.
His fingertips stroked the sword edge, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Who among those who practice martial arts doesn’t like to collect some good swords and knives?
His eyes lingered on the pattern on the hilt, and he muttered softly, "The new owner is richer than me. Live a good life with her and don't think about me."
After he finished packing, the driver also finished everything and was waiting at the door.
When the car door opened, I was met with a pair of big dark eyes.
The little girl, hunched over, huddled between the seat and the door like a frightened animal. Her face had paled since the day she'd seen her under the bridge. Her exposed wrist was still as thin, the bruises undimmed, and a new, bright red scar had appeared at the base of her palm. Her clothes were still worn, pale.
Only those pair of bright black eyes shone brightly in the dim carriage, like two round light sources.
Always be alert to any changes in the surroundings.
Ning Che didn't get in the car. Instead, he turned around and asked his aunt to pack breakfast and send it over. He stood by the car door, staring at her and asked, "Is the welfare home treating you badly?"
The girl nodded.
Suddenly his pupils shrank and he shook his head frantically.
"It's better than following the traffickers, right?"
She nodded again.
Ning Che laughed, lifted his leg to get into the car, and sat next to the little girl.
I wanted to touch her head, but my hand was suspended in the air and then dropped again.
People who are terrified are afraid of being touched.
He also knew this.
The aunt trotted over and handed over an insulated lunch box. Ning Che took it and placed it next to the little girl.
"Eat it."
The girl didn't move, her hands tightly crossed over her chest, staring at Ning Che's big eyes without blinking, her eyes red.
Ning Che knew that she was not touched at all!
If you don't blink for a long time, your eyes will start to tear up.
Such children are accustomed to malice and can no longer believe in kindness.
The only way to make her obey is to threaten her.
Ning Che pointed at the trash can outside the window, frowned at the little girl, and said viciously, "Look at that trash can? If you don't finish this lunch within ten minutes, I'll chop off your hands and feet and throw them in there!"
The little girl immediately grabbed the lunch box and gobbled it up.
Maybe he was really hungry. Before the car even left the community, the lunch box was so clean that it was reflecting light.
Ning Che laughed, "You can't eat anymore if you're not full. If you're hungry for a long time and then suddenly feel full, you'll vomit."
The girl packed up the lunch box, held it in both hands and placed it carefully on her knees.
"Put it on the ground and go to sleep."
After the first scare, the subsequent instructions went very smoothly.
The little girl immediately closed her eyes, but her back was straight and her ears moved uncontrollably, as if she was alert to the sounds around her.
Ning Che moved his seat to the back and looked at the girl's back.
Her small body was like a fully drawn bow, tense, thin, and weak, as if she could be crushed with the slightest force in the palm of your hand.
But he also knew that for this girl to survive in the hands of human traffickers, it must not be as simple as it seemed.
Being ruthless is just the basics; being mature enough to be comparable to an adult is the fundamental quality.
He remembered the day the Rainbow Pirates brought her back from the boat.
She knelt in front of him in a daze, her face as pale as death.
But those eyes were fixed on Ning Che. She wanted to live! She wanted to live well!
"We'll be there soon, be smart."
Ning Che said abruptly, and the driver in the front seat responded: "Got it."
The little girl's ear moved, and Ning Che raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
She understood.
