The red Ferrari quickly stopped at the side of the road. Qin Gengxin looked at her hesitantly. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ruolan said nothing and just opened the door and got out of the car. She looked at the police cars that had almost covered both ends of the bridge and walked towards them.
Qin Gengxin watched her walk fast towards the police car. He then got out of the car helplessly and looked around. He also realized that there was something unusual about this place. His eyes changed and he quickly moved forward with his long legs. He quickly pulled Jiang Ruolan's arm. "It's not safe here. Don't go there alone, follow me."
"Not safe?" Jiang Ruolan looked back at him.
"They suddenly sent dozens of police cars around this bridge. I'm afraid there may be some dangerous operation underway. Numerous residents have been evacuated. Don't go there and cause more problems!" Qin Gengxin was no longer joking. Instead, he pressed her shoulder and glanced at the black Land Rover. "I saw Zihao's car. With him here, nothing will happen. Let's go."
Hearing Qin Gengxin said that Jiang Ruolan stopped and looked at him in surprise.
"Stupid girl, I know you have a profound sense of smell and insight to get live news. But now is not the right time, it's too dangerous. Are you afraid that if you don't get the news, you will lose your salary? You work under Qin's Company. Don't worry." Qin Gengxin chuckled as he pulled her towards him and walked back to his car.
"But …" Before she could finish, she was dragged away by him.
As they both returned to the car, Jiang Ruolan turned back towards the Carlmore Bridge. "I heard that there were a few shootings in H City recently."
"No matter what happens, you better stay in the safest place. You are not allowed to go to a dangerous place!" Qin Gengxin glared at her and started the car again.
Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and said nothing more.
"Besides, based on my understanding of Zihao, no matter what happens on the bridge, there must be a way for him to protect himself. Nothing will happen to him." Qin Gengxin said disapprovingly as he drove.
"Why are you so sure? Are you so sure that nothing will happen? Those responsible for the operation will also sometimes have miscalculated moments." She sneered.
"I will not trust them. I only trust Xian Zihao. I certainly believe in his methods. Have you ever thought, how in these five years, he can make a lot of profit?" Do you think all of his achievements were obtained by luck?"
While talking, Qin Gengxin suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at her curiously. "By the way, do you know Zihao?"
Jiang Ruolan froze. "Why do you ask?"
The tip of his eyebrow rose again. "Why does your tone sound like you're so worried about him? It sounds like you're familiar with him."
Jiang Ruolan: "…"
After you drank too much that day, we chatted for a while." She pulled the collar of her shirt nervously.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
Qin Gengxin nodded. "So that's the case, no wonder."
"How did you and Xian Zihao know each other?" To prevent him from asking further, Jiang Ruolan changed the topic.
"Us?" Qin Gengxin chuckled. "When I was seventeen, I went to Havard to continue my studies. I met him once and I detested him so much. That time he was a profound god who was famous in the United States and in just two years, he managed to established a small company of his own. We both always quarrelled every time we met though."
"You two are always fighting?" Jiang Ruolan was surprised.
Qin Gengxin smiled. "Men were so energetic when they were seventeen or eighteen. Although Zihao had restrained himself back then, he was still a young man. We often fought outside the school many times. You can never imagine, when we were eighteen years old, a dozen people tried to attack us with knives on the black street of the red-light district."
"Zihao looked so gentle and when he moved, five men holding the blade could not even touch a single hair on his body. At that time, I was completely shocked, I would never have thought he could move so quickly and agilely, and in just a few breaths, he overturned five of them!"
"Zihao and I still had a normal relationship before that. You should know that the criminals in the red-light district are not bigots, even the police can not do anything to them. That day, he saved my life. From there, we both began to appreciate each other and become brothers. "
"He graduated two years earlier than me, and after graduation, he returned to H City to visit his family before returning to Boston. Did you know, he only needed three years to develop Xian Group into a global. How impressive is that? We have known each other for many years and I am very familiar with his behaviour. Every step he takes will be carefully considered, and if he is genuinely convinced that there is nothing wrong, he will take immediate action. "
"That's why I believe in him. It doesn't matter if his opponent is some evil person; he naturally has his way of doing things. Like I said, even if he is there alone, he will be fine. "
Jiang Ruolan nodded and asked abruptly, "But why did he leave his company and come back here to take over the family business? Why is he so restrained?"
Qin Gengxin's lips curved upwards, but he did not answer. His car stopped on the side of the road at Greenville Residence and he looked around, "There are many houses here, where do you live?"
"Ugh, I'll get off here." Jiang Ruolan no longer cares about the question he did not answer just now. She was so afraid that Qin Gengxin would find out that she lived in a place like Greenville Residence and became suspicious, so she hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car.
"Hey, Ruolan."
The car window slowly rolled down. Qin Gengxin looked back at her figure and loudly said, "When you have a fever, you should take medicine quickly. Don't be like when you were a child, did you hear me?"
With that, he smiled, started the engine and drove away.
Jiang Ruolan's footsteps froze as she lifted her hand to rub her nose. Was her nasal tone sound obviously when she spoke? Qin Gengxin can detect that she had a fever.
The chilly autumn night wind blew softly, and she suddenly shivered. A drop of water flowed slowly from under her nose.
Jiang Ruolan sniffled furiously. 'Damn it. It looks like I really have to take my medicine!'
The sky tonight was a bit cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain. She hurriedly quickened her footsteps and walked towards the Greenville Residence.
Jiang Ruolan felt her head became heavier. When she was little, she hated taking medicine but this time it seemed she had to.
As soon as she entered the house, she went around looking for cold medicine. After taking medicine, she bathed in hot water at high temperature. After being suffocated by the heat, she covered herself with a towel and ran straight to her bedroom, where she had a good night's sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she was overjoyed to learn that her flu was almost gone.
Although she felt a little curious and worried about why they did not return, she also clearly understood that if it were not for Zhan An, Xian Zihao would not have stayed here at all.
What is there to worry about? Jian Ruolan looked at her empty house and scoffed. She was always on her own. She was used to eating alone, sleeping alone, catching colds, and taking medicine alone, but why she felt very lonely.
Could it be that these two days of 'bliss' had changed the lives she's used to?
Jiang Ruolan sighed and went to the kitchen, as she usually did every morning. She removed the only box of instant noodles from the fridge, boiled a pot of water, and went to the bathroom to wash.
A few minutes later, the electric kettle began to hiss, which meant the water began to boil.
Jiang Ruolan ignored it, her mouth full of toothpaste. Lowering her head, she drank a mouthful of water from the glass, gurgled it a few times, and spat it out again.
Suddenly, the sound of the door opening could be heard.
She poked her head out of the bathroom glass door and saw Xian Zihao walking in with his coat on his arm, his shoulders covered in morning mist and dew.
As soon as he entered, Xian Zihao detected someone's gaze towards him from the bathroom. He turned his head to look and saw that the little woman's mouth was full of unwashed toothpaste. Her moist eyes were wide open as she stared at him in surprise.
