Chapter 2 I.(2)
amt district, BI city, country M - it is still prosperous, and the bloody case 14 years ago seems to have been deeply buried in this bustling city, and no one cares about it......
Yi's Mansion - the legendary "pillar" of BI City. On the 77th floor, a pair of deep black eyes have been looking at the endless flow of cars under the tall building.
"Dad, the affairs of country S have been taken care of, and we can go over tomorrow."
"Hmmm......"
"Then I'll go out first."
"Wait......"
"Dad..."
"Is there any news of Zhiming?"
"Not ...... yet"
"Let's get out."
"Yes."
Yi Zhicheng returned to the office, leaned on the sofa weakly, and looked at the note on the coffee table with stunned eyes, on which several names were neatly written - Xie Ziyu, Shangguan Hao, Cheng Chen......
The originally calm dark eyes gradually ignited a fire. Suddenly, Yi Zhicheng tore the note on the table into pieces and threw it into the air: "Heh, it's your same son, why do you always ignore me." β
ββ
SH City, Country S - The early morning sun shines into the house and quietly spreads on the two figures.
Zuo Feng sat on the edge of the bed, his slender fingers caressing An Rui's frowning brow, and the bottom of his eyes
"I witnessed my mother leaving and my brother being held hostage. You were only six years old at the time, and you thought everything was going to be fine. No, you're back in that hell...... It's been 14 years, and my uncle hasn't been able to let you sleep peacefully......"
ββ
"Welcome to the morning news, the following is the financial column - yesterday, Yi Boxiu, president of the Yi Group of M country, returned to China ......"
An Rui sat quietly at the dining table munching on steamed buns, when Zuo Feng took out a necklace from his coat pocket and handed it to her: "This is what the hourly worker found under your bed when he was cleaning." β
The black leather rope is strung with a rectangular hollow pendant with a silver glow, which looks unusually cold under the warm light. Memories that had been silent in my mind for many years poured out like a tidal waveβthe cage in the dark, the cold chains, the pungent smell of blood, the painful whipping, the darkness of captivity......
The half-eaten steamed bun fell to the ground, the apricot eyes were tightened, the bottom of the eyes was gradually covered with a layer of ice, the body trembled slightly, and the hands on the table were clenched into fists, making a crisp bone friction sound.
Zuo Feng took in her reaction, and hurriedly scolded loudly: "An Rui! β
An Rui came back to her senses, and Zuo Feng grabbed An Rui's hands tightly: "Little fox, it's been two years." You have to remember that since you have come back from hell. β
ββ
"The college entrance examination is two weeks away, how do you feel?"
"I don't know. Uncle, if I fall off the list, won't you still be there? After speaking, An Rui half-squinted at Zuo Feng on the side, like a cunning fox.
"Little fox, cunning-" Zuo Feng smiled helplessly, raised his hand and flicked An Rui's smooth and full forehead. "Silly boy, it's here, go to school with peace of mind, no matter what happens, your uncle will always be by your side."

City No. 1 Middle Schoolββ
Cheng Chen was riding a black mountain bike around the school trails......
ββ
"Bang-" Anrui was walking down the school alley when she suddenly bumped into a student. An Rui turned to the side slightly, threw down the book in his hand by the way, and quickly buckled the man's arm with his free hand, stabilizing the body that was about to fall to the ground.
During this period, there was a slender figure that stayed not far away and watched.
"Are you alright?"
I saw the man wave his hand at An Rui: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you." Hey, how many shifts are you? Invite you to dinner at the dining hall another day? β
An Rui didn't take it to heart, and picked up the books scattered on the ground: "No, it's a trivial matter." β
"Hey, don't go, leave a name to get to know!"
