1185 She Was The Prerequisite
Qiao Man widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Rong Si! What do you mean? Don’t you want your fiancée to return safe and sound?!”
“Of course, but… is she still in your hands?”
Qiao Man was stunned. “What?”
Why would he say such a thing?
Could it be that he knows that Su Jiu has already run away? How did he know?
Seeing her panic, Rong Si felt that it was ridiculous. If he couldn’t even tell something so obvious, he deserved to be called stupid.
When Qiao Man had been looking at her phone just now, although the change in her expression was small, Rong Si had spotted the hint of panic and a careful reply. Even if she tried to hide it, it was too late.
Something unexpected must have happened that made her so eager for him to sign.
If he was not wrong, Little Jiu should have escaped their control.
Rong Si clenched his fists.
Getting out did not mean she was safe.
He did not know where Su Jiu was now. This was a completely unfamiliar place. Could she… be alone?
He paused for a moment and said, “You want me to give you some benefits? Alright, it’s not impossible to negotiate.”
Qiao Man’s heart, which had been in her throat just now, instantly relaxed a little. She anxiously asked, “What are your conditions? Tell us! As long as we can do it—”
Without hesitation, Rong Si said, “I want Little Jiu in front of me safely. That’s the prerequisite for everything.”
***
In the hospital, Su Jiu limped forward, afraid that someone would catch up with her.
When she saw a ward in front of her, she immediately ran in.
The ward had quite a few people in it, and they all turned to look at her, more or less surprised. They must have recognized her. But Su Jiu couldn’t care less. She found an empty bed and pulled the curtain close. Then she nervously stood in the corner.
What should I do?
She had no idea where this hospital was. She didn’t dare to run out without a plan. What if someone blocked her at the entrance of the hospital? Wouldn’t she be walking into a trap?
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Jiu decided to hide here for the time being and let Rong Si come and find her.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that this ward had more than one person. This meant that if someone came in, she would have a chance to escape.
She had to contact Rong Si as soon as possible.
She opened the light blue curtain a crack and looked out. After making sure that she did not see anyone chasing after her, she walked to the nearest patient and whispered to her, “Hello, Auntie. Can I borrow your phone? I’ll make a call. I’ll be done in a while. Also, can I ask which hospital this is?”
The woman warily sized her up for a while. Seeing that the girl seemed to be anxious and that the girl looked familiar as if she had seen her somewhere before, the woman took out her phone and gave Su Jiu the name of the hospital.
After saying thank you, Su Jiu took the phone and dialed the number that she had memorized and was very familiar with.
It only rang once before the call was answered. “Hello?”
Hearing the voice on the other end, Su Jiu felt a lump in her throat. She said as quickly as she could, “Rong Si, I… I’m at the People’s Hospital in the city center. I’m in a ward. Can you come and find me?”
There was no hesitation on the other end. “Okay, don’t be afraid. I’ll come and find you immediately.”
