"Have you run into him a few times?" Xie Li immediately tensed up. "Did he do anything to you?"
Luo Zhihan shook his head. "No. He seems very busy. Every time he tries to talk to me, he gets called away by the Shen family."
Xie Li was stunned for a moment: "Is it a coincidence?"
That's too much of a coincidence; it seems impossible no matter how you look at it.
Luo Zhihan had a faint smile in his eyes and brows. He raised his hand to rub Xie Li's head, but his fingertips trembled slightly, and he withdrew his hand.
"Perhaps."
He said that Xie Li knew that it was definitely not a coincidence.
Luo Zhihan looked at her, her eyes gentle and smiling, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
After all, there are so many suspicious things about him. Anyone with a little bit of curiosity would ask questions, such as why he knows top hackers and why he can make the Shen family work for him.
Xie Li tilted his head and thought about it seriously for a moment, then exclaimed, "You're really amazing!"
He was the most formidable city person she had ever met.
Luo Zhihan laughed dumbly.

After the winter break, Ming Xiaoxiao stood in front of the mirror and looked at her Linjiang No. 1 Middle School uniform. For the first time in her life, she showed a look of disgust.
She used to love the school uniform of Linjiang No. 1 Middle School the most. It was a piece of clothing for rich young masters and ladies, so the quality and style were naturally the best.
Most importantly, it has the prestige of a top university, so it gets recognized and envied wherever it goes.
Ming Xiaoxiao used to always wear her school uniform to work. People thought she had no choice, but little did they know that she enjoyed the glory that the school uniform brought her.
During the winter break, she ate at the best private restaurants in the entire Linjiang City, stayed at the best five-star hotels, and wore designer clothes.
The start of the new school year has been a bit of a struggle to adjust to the need to pretend to be simple and unassuming.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
No matter how good the school uniform is, it can't compare to the sense of superiority that comes from brand names.
No wonder rich kids never like wearing school uniforms; she finally got to experience what it's like to be rich.
On the first day of school registration, many people were still wearing their own clothes, and Ming Xiaoxiao was filled with envy as she looked at all the big brands.
When they got to class, everyone was discussing the interesting things that happened during the winter break.
Even the top-performing class gained some popularity at this time.
Ming Xiaoxiao straightened her back and smiled, intending to join the conversation.
"Human traffickers?" He paused, his eyes filled with stubbornness and a sense of justice. "Even if they are human traffickers, they are still living, breathing human beings. Why should we say that human traffickers deserve to be shot? I think we should separate the issues. This is not right."
When the boys were getting into a passionate conversation, Ming Xiaoxiao suddenly chimed in.
"You're right, aren't you?" The boys laughed awkwardly; they'd just said it casually.
"But human traffickers destroy families, which is truly hateful and they should not be let off lightly!"
Ming Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip. "Actually, I think things can't be generalized. In poor rural areas like ours, if a child is trafficked to a wealthy family, it might be a form of salvation."
She was almost abducted when she was a child.
A middle-aged man named Lao Zhang came to the village, bringing chocolates that city people eat, and tricked her into going with him.
Unfortunately, her parents hadn't died in the car accident yet, and they managed to snatch her back from Old Zhang's arms.
Later, she saw Lao Zhang again. At that time, she and her grandmother were the only ones left to depend on each other. When she came home from school, she saw him sitting in her yard and casually said something to him.
"Auntie, it would have been so much better if I had sold your child to a rich family in the city. She would have been born to be a pampered young lady, much better than living in the countryside!"
