“What’s going on?” Mei Xiawen frowned as he looked at Gu Nianzhi “What are you trying to say, exactly?”
Gu Nianzhi thought about it, and decided that her close friends deserved an explanation It was their right to know the truth
“Co to say” Gu Nianzhi turned to enter her roo, Lady Cao, Little Te to tell you”
Gu Nianzhi’s three rooathered around her They looked at her curiously
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, and began by describing the strange symbols she had seen She followed this with the black SUV and sniper rifle, things she had learned froht up the predicanal, no internet connection, and no working landlines…
“We lucked out when Class Two practically extorted Mingyue Court froh this” Gu Nianzhi got out her phone and used a drawing app to show the others the concentric circles she had seen
Her three roommates and Mei Xiaere absolutely dumbfounded They looked at each other, and asked, dubiously, “…How do you knohat a sniper rifle case looks like?”
“One of my distant relatives is a soldier He has a sniper rifle case, exactly like the one the otten the infors flashed in a brilliant arc under the light as she cal for six years; if there was one thing she had learned from him, it was how to remain calm and composed “Aren’t you all worried?”
“Worried? What about?” Little Teed her hair “I’et online so I can check Weibo”
“Yeah, why should we be worried? Okay, so ot to do with us?” Mei Xiawen did not understand; he put on his gold-ri it?”
“How very nanimous of you all” Gu Nianzhi was absolutely perplexed by their non-reaction; she walked around the other four as she said, “You guys are either wealthy heirs or have parents in high places Have your faers?”
Mei Xiawen suddenly realized what she was saying The blood immediately drained from his lean, fair face “You think it’s us they’re after?! How dare they!”
Wealthy heirs were always at risk of being kidnapped It was their greatest fear
It was true that kidnappers only wanted money, but it was also true that etting what they wanted
The Meis were bigwigs in C City; as a general rule, no one dared to mess with them, not inside C City This hy Mei Xiawen had never had bodyguards with him when he was inside the city
But he was always surrounded by bodyguards whenever he had to step outside of C City
Gu Nianzhi and Brother Li had deduced the bandits’ intentions using nothing et, then it was only logical to assuuys were after her wealthy classmates
Gu Nianzhi had the ut He had protected her well; no one had realized that she was more than just an “ordinary citizen” She was therefore absolutely certain that she wasn’t the target
Those thugs probably thought of her as nothing
“…Lil Sis ood point…” Lady Cao looked at Little Temptress “There are a lot of wealthy, powerful people in our class”
It wasn’t just Mei Xiawen; there was also wang Junya, aka Little Te fauished and fa, too, had come from a family worth tens of millions
Gu Nianzhi was the only one in the rooed into this entirely by accident
“What should we do then? Are we supposed to just give in without a fight?!” Little Temptress was nervous now “Should we tell everyone? Get everyone together so we can discuss how to deal with this?”
Gu Nianzhi shook her head “No, I don’t think we should tell everyone The et out Whoever’s out therea littlefunny”
“Thatabout the students in Class Two “But surely we can’t leave Class Two coo talk to theantly raised her cup of tea and blew on it “But then again they practically threw a tantruot what they wanted, can’t blaloat,” said Gu Nianzhi as she tugged Green Tea Fang’s hand “I’ will happen to theo have a look” Mei Xiawen nodded “We’ll tell them to be careful There are ether and keep the gate shut, everything should be all right”
