Chapter 71
Lin Ran returned to the room and lay quietly on the bed.
Shen Zhuoyu came over and knocked on the door: "Ranran, you ate too little for dinner. I asked Sister Lin to make some candied fruits and cakes and put them on the table outside. Remember to come out and eat when you are hungry."
She said nothing and turned off the light.
The outside room soon became quiet.
Lin Ran struggled to sleep. Today was the third day as agreed upon, but the other party had not contacted her and had not explained the terms of the transaction.
Just as she was tossing and turning in bed, the screen of her cell phone lit up.
"Before midnight, throw the seal into the trash can outside Chenyuan. You will know the whereabouts of your son tomorrow morning."
Lin Ran's pupils shrank. The transaction location was outside Shen Garden? Was the other party nearby?
She had fought with the other party several times and was very cautious and cunning, and not anxious at all. Instead, she was more anxious and was completely led by the other party.
Fortunately, she had a backup plan.
Lin Ran struggled again and again, got up, crumpled up the discarded drawing paper in the room, threw it into the trash bag along with the topaz seal, and then went out.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, only the night light was on in the side hall. Shen Jinghan and Shen Zhuoyu were both in their rooms, and no one came out.
She wrapped her coat tightly around her and walked outside carrying the garbage bag.
There are no trash cans outside Chenyuan, but there is one near the intersection of the mountain road. Sanitation workers come to clean it every morning and evening.
She met him when she got up early to go to school.
It was windy at night. Lin Ran threw the garbage into the trash can at the intersection, stood there for a while, looked around, and saw nothing.
There are no cameras on this section of mountain road, and it is some distance away from Chen Garden, making it a perfect blind spot for surveillance.
Lin Ran was afraid of being discovered by the Shen family, so she didn't dare to stay for long and quickly walked back.
When I came back, I saw that the side hall was brightly lit.
She was startled and walked into the side hall, only to see Chen Zhuoyu wearing a cartoon bear robe, with a handsome and fair face, playing games harmlessly.
And they are playing the most childish Sims.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're back?" Chen Zhuoyu said nonchalantly while building the house. "It's late at night, and I thought you were on a date."
Lin Ran said calmly, "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and came back. Why are you still playing this game?"
Chen Zhuoyu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I am very loyal, both to games and to people."
Lin Ran didn't respond.
Shen Zhuoyu didn't care, he got up lazily and said with a smile: "Remember to close the doors and windows when you go to bed."
Lin Ran was slightly stunned when she saw him walking upstairs in slippers. She thought her second brother was waiting for her here on purpose.
Was she seen when she went out?
There is no surveillance in Shen Garden, because installing surveillance in Shen Garden is a very dangerous thing. Neither Shen Zhongqi nor Shen Jinghan will allow their whereabouts and interactions to be controlled by others.
There are only surveillance cameras on the mountain roads.
Lin Ran shuddered.
Second brother saw it, but did Shen Jinghan know about it?
"Oh right." Chen Zhuoyu leaned on the railing and smiled lazily, "There's a charity dinner tomorrow night. I heard there's a priceless exhibit, a mermaid's tear inlaid with 108 blue diamonds. I'll take you to see it."
Lin Ran was about to refuse when she saw the other party turn around casually and waved his hand, saying, "I can't refuse. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Lin Ran lowered her eyes. She remembered the fairy tale. The little mermaid fell in love with a human prince and asked the witch for a secret potion to turn her into a human. However, the prince did not love her, and she ended up turning into foam.
