Chapter 8 Reunion (Part 2)

  The black-clad youth standing beside them lowered his head and glanced at Gu Huanli, his sharp eyes fixed on her seemingly bold and determined but actually fragile and scattered empty eyes. A charming smile spread across the corners of his lips as he whispered, "Lying isn't a behavior that good kids should have."

  Gu Huanli buried her head in the blue-clad boy's chest, with a hint of unbearable pain in her heart. After a long while, she muttered, "Can't you guys ride a bike and run?! Why are you so stupid!"

  The boy in blue clothes suddenly lost his smile and said, "Yi Chen, little girl says you're a fool!"

  "Ye Qinglan, you're the idiot!" The black-clothed youth's two good-looking eyebrows slowly distorted, and his brow also furrowed. He glared at Gu Huanli's back of the head with annoyance, "Keep an eye on this sharp-tongued little girl, I'll deal with her after I'm done with them!"

  She saw him punch once, and Zeng Huaiyuan was knocked to the ground. Gu Huanli's body hair stood on end. She helplessly pulled at Ye Qinglan's sleeve, hinting for him to leave, lest he be implicated like a fish in a pond. To be honest, she had never seen Luo Yichen fight before. That's right, the Luo Yichen she knew was already a mature and successful man who didn't need to throw punches himself; there were people willing to solve problems for him, and people willing to die for him.

  She remembered that before her rebirth, she would watch some detective dramas when she was extremely bored. One time, Luo Yi Chen returned home early from a social engagement and coincidentally bumped into her in the living room, "Why are you still not asleep?"

  A faint voice floated past her ears, Gu Huanli didn't even bother to turn her head, she just kept watching the female lead on TV assemble piece by piece of bones and then establish a 3D model of the victim's face based on the skull.

  "What are you watching? - 'Bones'?" Luo Yi's voice suddenly dropped several degrees, "Are you trying to study human bones or learn how to kill people without leaving any clues for the police?"

  "Neither is." Gu Huanli's eyes stared at the TV, softly and without any emotional ups and downs, this was one of her protective colors, "I'm just passing time."

  "Do you think the time is long? Is it hard to get through? Is it because of living in Lu's house that gives you this feeling?" Lu Qi was already close to picking bones from eggs, and Gu Huanli's indifference was also one of the triggers.

  "No." Although the cold gaze pierced through from behind, at this critical juncture of the plot, Gu Huanli didn't want to say too much to Luo Yichen, so she simply denied it without further explanation.

  This attitude triggered Ruo Yi Chen's impatience. He didn't say a word, turned around abruptly and left. Not back to the bedroom, but out of the gate, driving away quickly.

  The next day, Gu Huanli received a large box of discs, American dramas, British dramas, domestic dramas, all of which were related to crime. There was also a card inside, with elegant handwriting, but the content was quite strange - Welcome you to kill me, as long as you have this skill.

  Thinking of this, Gu Huanli couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Su Yichen in the distance.

  "How about it, his boxing skills are quite fierce, right!" With a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, Ye Qinglan's gaze was soft as she looked at Gu Huanli's small face.

  It's quite impressive, but what's impressive isn't Luo Yichen, it's Luo Yichen's persecution complex. However, she doesn't want to talk about him now, not a single word or phrase! Gu Huanli furrowed her brow, and her originally thoughtful face now had a hint of anger and embarrassment, "I didn't think so, on the contrary, you have quite some strength."

  Although Ye Qinglan didn't understand why Gu Huanli disliked Rong Yichen so much, he still coaxed her, smiling lightly and saying, "Because you little girl are as light as a feather."

  "I know I'm very dirty, black as a crow." Gu Huanli raised her arm and wiped her face with her sleeve, but didn't realize that her action was just like a cat washing its face after eating.

  "Raven?" Ye Qinglan couldn't help but furrow his brow, yet it didn't diminish his beautiful young man's demeanor at all, making people feel that the crease between his eyebrows was just an external manifestation of a beautiful young man's inevitable melancholy. "I think you're soft and fluffy, like cotton candy."

  Two people were talking, Zeng Huaiyuan suddenly dodged to the left of Luo Yichen and rushed towards Ye Qinglan. "Be careful!" Luo Yichen shouted, but Qin Shouzheng, who was like a madman grabbing him, refused to let go.

  Gu Huanli saw Ye Qinglan step aside and let go of Zeng Huaiyuan's knife, then turned around and kicked him in the face with a flying leg. The pain twisted his facial features, and bright red blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

  "How amazing!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Stinky girl, where did you find this helper? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person." Zeng Huaiyuan slowly got up, spat out the tooth that Ye Qinglan had kicked out of his mouth, and then wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand. He sneered, "Two half-grown kids, how can you compare to our strength, not to mention the knives in our hands?"

  "It's only after comparing that you'll know." Ruo Yichen, who had already knocked Qin Shouzheng unconscious, walked over slowly. His black eyes seemed like a cold spring in a dark forest, and his deep voice carried a hint of sharp sarcasm. "Unfortunately, you forgot that we're all kids, and you're a kidnapper. Even if we kill you, it's just self-defense."

  "You! What are you going to do!" Zeng Huaiyuan looked at the gleaming knife that Luo Yichen had just snatched from Qin Shouzheng's hand, and retreated a few steps in shock.

  "I'll wipe you out of this world completely." As he spoke, Ruo Yu's knife stabbed straight at Zeng Huaiyuan, the chill of the killing intent scaring him so much that he didn't dare move. However, the knife pierced his thigh without hesitation, then pulled out and struck again, wounding another leg.

  With a thud, he knelt to the ground, and the threat of death finally called back Zeng Huaiyuan's sanity. However, he had been scared so much that he lost control of his bowels, and the air was filled with the stench of feces and urine. "Please spare my life! I have an elderly parent and young children..."

  "You shouldn't ask me." Luo Yichen casually flicked off the scarlet blood on the tip of his knife, but his eyes were fixed on Gu Huanli. The delicate face like a flower cat's was adorned with a pair of beautiful and agile eyes that showed no fear or surprise, only silently watching him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, making people feel that she was clever yet weak. "This little girl is the one who will decide your fate."

  Determine fate?

  Didn't the two kidnappers decide her fate last night? In less than twenty-four hours, they completed their identity swap with her. Is this reality her good fortune or their misfortune? Also, she owes Su Yu Chen a favor...

  Then, Gu Huanli's relaxed expression became heavy again, gradually becoming tense. Her fingers were tightly clenched, her fingernails digging into the pale skin of her palm, but she didn't feel a thing, only slightly lowering her head, silently thinking: She didn't want to owe him anything. So, this lifesaving favor was best repaid immediately, that way, their futures wouldn't have any intersection or entanglement. "Ah, I remember teacher saying, when we encounter bad people, it's best to go to the police station and find Police Uncle."

  "Hmph..." Ye Qinglan couldn't help but laugh out loud, even the normally expressionless Luo Yichen couldn't help but smile and say, "Is this girl talking nonsense?"

  Hold it in!

  Hold it in!

  Gu Huanli raised her already large eyes, gazing up at Luo Yichen with an air of innocence, and said in a childish tone, "Did the teacher say something wrong? It's also been said on TV... what was it... having trouble finding the police..."

  "Spare... spare my life!" Ye Qinglan put Gu Huanli on the ground, then rubbed her already messy hair and laughed loudly, "This little girl is so much fun!"

  With a messy bird's nest on her head, Gu Huanli suppressed her annoyance and said with a smile, "I'm very hungry, I'm very tired, and most importantly, my whole body hurts. Is it fun? Maybe, but that's you, not me!"

  "This is almost it." Ye Qinglan nodded to Luo Yichen, and the two of them worked together to tie Zeng Huaiyuan and Qin Shouzheng to a big tree by the side of the road, then pulled down their pants. Originally, in Luo Yichen's plan, they were also going to pull down their underwear, but Ye Qinglan advised him that although Xiaotiao was small, she was still a girl after all, and if she saw something she shouldn't see, it would be a disaster. So Luo Yichen had no choice but to give up.

  Tied up, Zeng Huaiyuan burst into tears and shouted loudly, "Wife, I'm sorry to you! I can't take care of Yingzi anymore. Let's meet in the afterlife!"

  Ye Qinglan was slightly stunned and muttered to herself, "What is he muttering about?"

  At this moment, Luo Yi Chen suddenly picked up Gu Huan Li horizontally and said coldly, "A pitiful person must have a hateful place. Similarly, a hateful person must have a pitiful place. It's just that the mistakes made are wrong, no matter what the reason is, the mistake is already made."

  Gu Huanli never thought he would do this, originally she just didn't want him to become a murderer. Now she's fallen into his arms, unable to advance or retreat, unsure what to do. "Let me go." She said, biting her lip.

  "Can you still move?" Kuai asked with a frown.

  "Even if I'm not moving, it's none of your concern." Gu Huanli gritted her teeth and said. In their past life, he had carried her in his arms only once, yes, that was right, on the day they got married, and then her nightmare began. Now, he was holding her again, what was this, did he want to make her have a nightmare again?! No thanks!

  Luo Yi Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes, did this little girl have a natural grudge against him? Although her attitude towards Ye Qing Lan was not much better, but the way she treated him was so bad that it made him, someone who didn't care about how others looked at him, notice. However, he was certain that he had never seen this muddy little girl before, so why did she have such an attitude?

  "Waaaahhh... so scary... don't want to... I want Brother Lan to hug me..." Gu Huanli struggled with all her might to squeeze out a few tears, squirming in Luo Yichen's arms, her hands reaching out to Ye Qinglan with a pleading expression.

  "Yi Chen... or else I'll take her to the hospital myself." Ye Qinglan glanced at her friend with a hint of teasing.

  Luo Yi Chen nodded, carefully handing Gu Huan Li to Ye Qing Lan, but said, "This is also good, after all, your family runs a hospital, find some skilled people to sew up this silly girl's wounds, lest she become even uglier."

  "You're ugly and weird, you..." Gu Huanli felt that such insults were really unprofessional, puffed up with anger, turned her head away, and refused to look at him again.

  "Pfft!" Ye Qinglan couldn't help it and burst out laughing. He placed Gu Huanli on the front beam of his bicycle, then said to Luo Dichen, "I'll take her to a nearby hospital first, you go to the police station to report the case and also call her aunt and uncle. Oh, little girl, what's your name, and what's your family's phone number?"

  "The number is... XXXXXXXX, and my name is Huan Li, Gu... Huan Li..." Perhaps because his nerves had been tense all along, he finally felt at ease now that he was safe, and as soon as Gu Huan Li finished saying his own name, he fainted.

  "Have you got enough money on you?" Ruo Yi Chen looked at Gu Huan Lian who was unconscious, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, for her strength, perhaps also for her maturity. He took out a few hundred yuan and a bank card from his body and handed it to the blue-clothed youth, "The password is my birthday, you little devil, if you forget, don't blame me for not helping her."

  "Lu Yichen, Lu Yichen, what can I say about you? You're really... cold on the outside and hot on the inside!" Ye Qinglan chuckled and shook her head, riding her bike away.
