Chapter 416 - Long Zhenao Ran Away? (1/2)
Wan Qingsi didn’t force him, for he knew Jiang Rui’s feelings for Liuliu.
“Okay, I’ll look for her. Be careful.”
Hanging up the phone, he saw Chen Chen standing at the door and looking at him with a worried look.
“It’s okay.” Jiang Rui walked up to her. “Your brother wants you to go back. I already told him your answer.”
Chen Chen nodded. “Or… Shall we send Tuan Zi back?”
“Tuan Zi will be safer with the Wen family,” Jiang Rui said. “The Wen family controls more than half of the Asian economy, no one would be ready to lay a finger on them.”
“Won’t that be too much of a bother for them?”
Jiang Rui chuckled and said, “No.”
It was not bothersome to protect their own daughter-in-law…
“What about your grandma?” Chen Chen had heard Jiang Qianren’s words over the phone. “Was she abducted by terrorists?”
Jiang Rui led her into the house. “We have sent so many people to look for her. There will always be clues. What you should do is to keep healthy and then try to cure Ah Zi. That is your strength.”
“Yeah, I see!” Chen Chen felt that she regained her courage.
It was strange that after each time she talked with Jiang Rui, she would become more motivated. Thinking of how the man looked like while staring at her breasts while in the room in the afternoon, Chen Chen shivered again. Jiang Rui seemed to be eager to eat her at that time.
“But… Brother Xiao Rui has become more and more gentle recently. Haha!”
After breakfast the next day, they gathered around the computer. Tuan Zi started the game and a door appeared on the screen, accompanied by a notice that after starting the game, the player had to get out of the maze; otherwise, the player would still remain in the game when starting the computer again, unless the computer was powered off and the system restored.
“What a scary game!” Ah Zi held a cup of milk tea. “Players may be overwhelmed by the atmosphere.”
Tuan Zi opened the door calmly, and it was an endless maze full of winding paths. There were three entrances and a box ahead. Tuan Zi manipulated the character to walk up to the box and open it. Then there was a clue.
“There are three candy boxes, respectively containing coconut candies, durian candies, and a mix of the two kinds of candies. There is a label on the outside of each box, but the labels are all wrong. You need to take a candy from a box at a time and then put the correct label on the box. How many candies do you need to take out so as to finish the work?”
“PS: The answer means the direction!”
When Ah Zi and Bear got confused and stared at each other for a long time, Tuan Zi chose an entrance and stepped into the maze.
Ten minutes later, she encountered a fork, where there was a box. She needed to answer another question.
Jiang Rui saw all three of them look confused, and laughed. “I’ll be with Tuan Zi alone. Bear, you take Ah Zi to Hua Tuo for the checkup. Liuliu, you do the experiment. Don’t waste time here. Anyway, you can’t help her.”
“Okay!” All three of them wanted to leave early because they couldn’t understand the questions at all.
Time passed quickly. When the alarm clock went off, Chen Chen found that it was already noon. She ran out and saw Ah Zi sitting and playing with her mobile phone, while Jiang Rui was sitting beside Tuan Zi.
“How’s it going?”
Ah Zi said frustratedly, “She is just one third of the way through the maze after this morning…”
Chen Chen glanced at the screen. It seemed to be another map. The mark in the upper right corner showed that the player walked less than half the journey.
“No wonder that person said it was too difficult to go make it out within twenty-four hours.”
Bear pushed the dining car in. “Let’s eat first!”
Tuan Zi shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
“I’ll feed her.” Chen Chen sat next to her, and brought up bits from Tuan Zi’ favorite dishes to her mouth. Tuan Zi stared straight at the screen, chewing the food instinctively.
Jiang Rui also wanted to feed Chen Chen, but Chen Chen would feel embarrassed. He had to eat quickly and then feed Tuan Zi, so that Chen Chen could have lunch as soon as possible.
“Alas, I didn’t expect our boss to feed a kid one day.” Bear whispered while eating, and then smirked at Ah Zi. “Ah Zi, when you recover, let’s get married!”
Ah Zi almost got the rib stuck in her throat, coughing and kicking him. “What’s wrong with you? No way!”
“Why?” Bear was so aggrieved. “How can you not marry me when you have taken all my money and estates?”
“I knew earlier that you would loathe to give up!” Ah Zi said fiercely, “Well, go and take them all back.”
Bear was terrified, and hurried to say flatteringly, “No, no! I mean that, who are you gonna marry if you don’t marry me?”
“Do you mean that no one except you wants to marry me?” Ah Zi had wanted to say that Long Zhen’ao might marry her. But thinking that Long might be the fucking guy who had spread the virus to her, she said, “No proposal? If you don’t propose to me, I won’t marry you!”
Bear finally reacted. “No problem. I’ll propose to you after you recover!”
Ah Zi suddenly quieted down and looked blankly at him for a few seconds. “What if I can’t recover?”
If she failed to recover finally, she might die. Or she might die at any time. In fact, Ah Zi was very afraid that the virus couldn’t kill her. She even wondered if she would become a zombie and bite people everywhere.
The virus could not kill her but keep torturing her hard, which was the most terrible thing.
But she pretended not to care, because she knew that everyone cared about her, and she didn’t want her emotions to affect the others’ mood. Especially Chen Chen, she would keep crying every day if she was sad.
