Chapter 569 Xu Ruoyun's Identity
Xu Ruoyun's phone got wet, and Wen Luoyun dutifully dried it with a hairdryer for a long time before putting it into a bag of rice.
While waiting, she opened her phone's encyclopedia and typed in the name "Xu Ruoyun".
She flipped through four or five pages and finally found some useful information.
This Xu Ruoyun is no ordinary person; she is actually the family doctor of the Tang family, one of the four great families in Kyoto.
She had heard some rumors before that Tang Zhi, the head of the Tang family, was only forty years old, but he suffered from a very serious migraine. He was able to live a normal life all these years entirely thanks to the treatment of his private doctor.
However, this rumored private doctor is a very low-key person, and few people have seen her face or know her name.
Wen Luoyun never expected that she would run into such a reclusive person.
The antelope horn in Xu Ruoyun's bag is very effective in treating migraines. It seems that she went out to collect herbs for Tang Zhi, but an accident happened on her way back.
Thinking of the pair of antelope horns, she guessed that someone was eyeing her medicinal herbs.
After all, this thing is extremely valuable, and it's enough to make outsiders envious just by looking at it, not to mention that the Tang family has so many mortal enemies eyeing it.
After understanding the situation, Wen Luoyun narrowed her eyes.
She truly hadn't expected that the person she casually saved would turn out to be from the Tang family.
Could this be considered an opportunity for her?
It's just unclear how important Xu Ruoyun is to the Tang family.
She took a deep breath, took Xu Ruoyun's phone out of the rice bag, and turned it on, requiring fingerprint verification.
She tiptoed back to the room and pressed all ten of Xu Ruoyun's fingers before finally unlocking the fingerprint scanner.
The first thing she did after unlocking her phone was to check WeChat.
The chat window is pinned to the top; the other person's profile picture is completely black, and their nickname is "T".
Wen Luoyun found the profile picture very familiar.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something, took out her phone and checked the number—sure enough, she also had this person's friend—it was Tang Zhi, the head of the Tang family, one of the four great families!
Tang Zhi is Tang Minghao's older brother, sixteen years older than him, and is now nearly forty.
The elders of the Tang family passed away early, and the Tang family was almost entirely supported by Tang Zhi. This man was different from those who had played together since childhood. He had a deep personality, spoke little, and always appeared and disappeared without a trace, looking mysterious.
Therefore, although they were nominally of the same generation, due to their age and experience, she always regarded Tang Zhi as a half-elder and spoke of him with a certain degree of awe.
She quickly browsed through the chat history and discovered another secret.
In addition to the normal medical consultation, Xu Ruoyun and Tang Zhi's conversations also included some extremely explicit exchanges.
In Wen Luoyun's memory, Tang Zhi was a man who devoted himself to his career and had very few scandals in the industry.
However, it's not normal for a man nearing forty to not have a woman by his side. Xu Ruoyun is with him all the time, so it's inevitable that the two of them have this kind of relationship.
Private doctor and lover, it seems Xu Ruoyun is quite popular in the Tang family.
A calculating glint flashed in her eyes before she wiped the fingerprints off her phone, turned it off, and put it back in Xu Ruoyun's bag.
...
When Xu Ruoyun woke up, it was already completely dark outside. She subconsciously let out a soft groan, and then groggily opened her eyes.
The surroundings were completely unfamiliar, and it took her a while to remember what had happened before she lost consciousness.
She had gone out to Tibet to buy medicine. The antelope horn she had was extremely rare and expensive. Even though she was careful all the way, she was still targeted by someone on her way back.
Before the train reached its final stop, she was forced off the train at knifepoint.
The train was traveling along the coast at the time. After getting off the train, she took advantage of the other person's inattention, grabbed her bag and ran away. The people behind her chased after her relentlessly, eventually forcing her into a dead end.
She stood on the edge of a cliff with the sea below, so she threatened the other person that she would jump into the sea if they didn't leave.
She only meant to scare them, but unexpectedly, a strong wind was blowing, and because she was so scared, she accidentally stepped on a pebble while backing up and actually fell into the sea.
Thinking of this, she felt a tightness in her chest.
If she really died, it was definitely not because she drowned, but because she suffocated!
However, it seems that she was lucky; she not only survived by clinging to a piece of driftwood after jumping into the sea, but she was also rescued.
Who saved her?
Fishermen?
The house is dilapidated; it certainly couldn't belong to a wealthy person.
Thinking of this, her expression hardened, and she hurriedly looked around for her bag. This antelope horn was incredibly precious, and it was for Tang Zhi to use in medicine. She hadn't let go of it even after jumping into the sea. If someone found it, they might be tempted by its value...
She looked left and right and realized her bag wasn't with her. She instantly became alert, and a cold sweat involuntarily broke out on her back.
She hasn't fully recovered yet, so if she were to fight him, she would have virtually no chance of winning.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Wen Luoyun wore a veil as she walked in.
After all, they had been in Kyoto before. She didn't know Xu Ruoyun, but she couldn't guarantee that this Xu Ruoyun didn't know her.
When she saw Xu Ruoyun awake and leaning against the headboard, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you're awake."
Xu Ruoyun's gaze was fixed on the bag in her hand, and she said with a tense expression, "That's mine."
“I know.” Wen Luoyun paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile. “Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. My name is Xiaorou. I saw you when we went out to sea today. You were badly injured. I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine, so I took the liberty of bringing you back.”
She handed the bag to her, saying, "Your bag was completely soaked, so I found a place for you to dry it. I didn't look at or touch the things inside. Here, take it."
Xu Ruoyun looked at her hesitantly, took the bag, and carefully checked it. Seeing that the contents did not look like they had been rummaged through, she breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Thank you so much, Miss Xiaorou. My surname is Xu, and I work at a private hospital. I was on a business trip this time, but I didn't expect to be targeted by human traffickers on my way back. I accidentally fell into the sea while escaping, and I thought I was definitely going to die. I never expected to meet such a kind girl like you."
Wen Luoyun's eyes flickered slightly, thinking to herself that this woman was indeed no kind person. She spoke in a mix of truth and falsehood, but did not reveal any of the key information.
Fortunately, she had confirmed her identity beforehand, otherwise she could have easily been fooled.
“I think you look a bit older than me, so I took the liberty of calling you Sister Xu,” Wen Luoyun said affectionately, with a hint of worry on her face. “What kind of human traffickers are they? How can they be so brazen in broad daylight? I’ll call the police for you, Sister Xu. Where did you fall into the sea? The police might be able to find some clues if they go there now.”
