Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the wind was howling.
This was the first heavy rain Jiang Nanshu had experienced since arriving in Hong Kong. She stood at the revolving door of the hotel lobby, the rain blowing in with the wind, soaking half of her camouflage raincoat.
She had a lollipop in her mouth.
She bit it in her mouth, and it shattered into pieces.
Finally, she spat the plastic stick into the nearby trash can.
“I think she’s really done being the female lead.”
Jiang Nanshu stared at the dense night sky and chuckled softly.
Dashachun chose to remain silent.
Because Su Ran’s behavior no longer matched the image of the kind-hearted female lead in the book.
If it weren’t for the fact that her character in the original book was indeed an ambitious, kind, and inspiring female lead, it would have suspected that this female lead was under a spell.
Dashachun: [Host, what should we do now? Jiang Leyi shouldn’t have been kidnapped and murdered in the mountains. That’s too inhumane!]
Its tone was filled with indignation.
To it, this was a premeditated murder, more terrifying than a mobile blood bank.
[Luckily, you saw through their scheme. Host, are you going to rescue her?] Dashachun asked.
Jiang Nanshu, with a candy in her mouth, squinted at the lightning-streaked sky, her smile not reaching her eyes.
“I’m not going. I want to go see a play. My sister will understand how unpredictable people are once she suffers a little. If she continues to maintain this naive and kind nature in this circle, she will suffer a great loss sooner or later, if not now. I can’t always be there for her, protecting her from all troubles.”
Jiang Nanshu’s words were crude, but true.
Dashachun wouldn’t interfere with Jiang Nanshu’s choice: [Okay, then go and see. It’s been so long, how are you going to find them? And with this heavy rain, it’ll be difficult.]
“No rush.”
The next second, Jiang Nanshu’s phone rang. She answered it.
It was Zhou Zhenghui’s voice.
“Nanshu, the SUV has been delivered to you, but… It’s so late, and it’s still raining heavily. What do you need the car for?”
His voice sounded somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Nanshu said sweetly: “I like racing in the rain because there’s no one on the road.”
Zhou Zhenghui: “…”
What a strange habit!
He doesn’t understand, but he respects it.
Zhou Zhenghui didn’t say anything more, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement: “The DNA test results are out. Yi Yi is…”
“Mr. Zhou, you should say this to my sister yourself.”
Zhou Zhenghui reacted: “Okay… Be careful. Do you want me to send a few people to accompany you? It’s too dangerous in the rain.”
“No need.”
Then she hung up.
A dazzling beam of light approached from afar and stopped at the hotel entrance.
The black-clad bodyguard came down with an umbrella.
“Miss Jiang, the car you requested has arrived.”
Jiang Nanshu put on her raincoat and hood, sat in the driver’s seat, and waved to the bodyguard: “Thanks.”
The bodyguard watched the SUV drive away in the rainy night, his figure a bit disheveled under his umbrella.
How the hell was he going to get back home in this pouring rain?
…
Jiang Nanshu placed her phone on the car mount, where a red location dot appeared. In half an hour, the red dot had moved twenty kilometers away.
Dashachun: [Holy crap, Host, you’re so clever! You actually installed a location tracking system on Jiang Leyi. Can you predict the future?]
Jiang Nanshu chuckled softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Not really. It’s just that the environment I grew up in made me suspicious of anyone who approached me out of the blue. These people either want to gain something from me or they want my life. Over time, I developed a sense of vigilance.”
Jiang Nanshu drove, following the instructions on her phone. She was driving quite fast, and with the heavy rain, she was on edge, terrified that someone might run out from the roadside and run her over.
