Jiang Hongshao was carrying a drawing board and a sports bag slung across her body, and it looked like she had just finished sketching. Shanhai City has nothing but beautiful scenery. The temples on Mount Li are quite ancient, with palaces, ancient temples, and peaks facing the largest group of lakes, taking in the wonders of the creation of heaven and earth. It is really an excellent place for painting and sketching. She, who is surrounded by those ancient and green things, is probably also a scenery in the eyes of others.
The key point is that she showed up at this time. Not only did she not comfort me, but she also said, "You look so ugly now..."
Is it necessary to finish off the enemy like this? Do you still have any compassion? Why don't you just say "It's like a dog!" and then stab him with a 40-meter-long sword
Cheng Ran whispered, "Why are you here?"
"Sometimes I go hiking and sketching on weekends... Otherwise, how could I have lent you so much paint when you were setting up the cultural wall?"
Painting is also one of Jiang Hongshao's hobbies, so it's no surprise that she would go hiking and sketching. But the path she took down the mountain was exactly where the kidnappers parked their car. How thrilling was that
In his previous life, Cheng Ran knew that the kidnappers had never committed such a crime in Shanhai City, so he felt relieved. However, Jiang Hongshao actually passed by the criminals like this, which still made people feel a little cold.
In fact, many people will be just a step away from death or misfortune many times in their lives, but they just don't realize it at the time.
A feeling of blessing in disguise surged into Cheng Ran's chest.
But when he saw Jiang Hongshao's bag, he suddenly remembered, "Set the phone ringtone to silent or vibrate!"
Jiang Hongshao had a mobile phone with her, but Cheng Ran just thought of the many melodramatic scenes in movies where the phone happened to ring at this moment. If the gangsters outside were attracted by the ringtone, it would be a real hassle!
Jiang Hongshao cooperated without any objection and quickly took out her cell phone and turned it off.
Cheng Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He saw half a bottle of water in Jiang Hongshao's bag and pointed at it, "Water... My throat is about to smoke..."
Jiang Hongshao took out some water and handed it to him. Cheng Ran unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it up in gulps.
Jiang Hongshao was about to say something, but opened her mouth and closed it again.
The extremely sweet mineral water poured into Cheng Ran's almost dehydrated body... A feeling of being alive again filled his whole body.
After drinking all the water in the bottle, Cheng Ran realized that this was the water that Jiang Hongshao had drunk before, and he had just poured water from the bottle... Isn't this drinking someone else's saliva a disguised form of kissing
Cheng Ran saw Jiang Hongshao's face blushing slightly, and was afraid that this was the reason why she hesitated to speak just now, so he had to say, "Sorry, I didn't notice..."
Jiang Hongshao shook her head and didn't continue in this direction. She just stared at him and said, "Tell me the situation quickly..."
Cheng Ran reacted, "There should be a group of gangsters outside, lend me your phone..."
"The criminals, what did they do..." Jiang Hongshao was very calm, but she was also stunned at this moment. She looked at Cheng Ran again and pointed at his face, "Did they beat you?"
"It's nothing serious, I just want to confirm this." Seeing Jiang Hongshao's seriousness, Cheng Ran knew that he couldn't convince her without revealing something. "I have confirmed that they are carrying guns, which is very dangerous... and they also bought iron cages. The cages are very large, which can be used to lock up big wolfhounds. Of course, they can also be used to lock up people..."
Jiang Hongshao blinked, "Just now a kidnapping case happened in Shanhai City..."
The fact that she could accurately mention the word "kidnapping", which is currently a completely blocked information, shows that she has inside information.
"How do you know?"
"Have you forgotten that my home is in the government compound? They hold meetings day and night, raising the kidnapping case to the highest level, and working with the provincial department's task force to solve the case." Jiang Hongshao said.
Cheng Ran frowned and said, "Why are you running outside when there are these criminals?"
"You won't go to class because there's a murder case. You won't leave the house? Besides, I have a cell phone and can contact my family anytime."
"Those guys outside are definitely not good people. The problem is that you almost passed by them. This is extremely dangerous!" Cheng Ran pointed in the direction outside.
Jiang Hongshao nodded, "Yes... but this is not..." She smiled, "With you?"
Cheng Ran was also a little stunned for a moment, but fortunately he was not defeated by this charming and dazzling smile. He frowned and said, "You just said I was ugly..."
“Ugliness doesn’t mean unreliability. On the contrary, it sometimes means loyalty and reliability… like Quasimodo!”
Your logic is very clear!
In such a short while, my ugliness can be compared to that of the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
Woo woo woo… The sound of the van engine starting up again came from outside. Cheng Ran looked out through a crack and saw the van starting up.
"Lend me your phone. I'll contact my cousin at the Public Security Bureau. No matter where these guys come from, the police will investigate thoroughly. You can take the bus around the lake and go home quickly."
This time Jiang Hongshao took the phone but didn't hand it to Cheng Ran. She said, "What are you thinking about... Call the police right now, and then you should go back with me."
"The problem is that I need to know which road they are going. There are so many forks in the road. They are going into the forest. If they are the gangsters in the kidnapping case, then they have hostages. Do you think they will go all out and kill the hostages when the police conduct a large-scale search? I just need to follow them and see where they are going. There will definitely be no direct conflict with them! Do you think I'm stupid? I have a mobile phone with me and can report the situation at any time."
Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao walked out of the fence. They were at a high point and saw the van going down the winding mountain road. Cheng Ran quickly ran over to push the bicycle out, then walked to Jiang Hongshao and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me!"
Jiang Hongshao took off the drawing board on her back, leaned against the rock next to her, and said, "I can lend you my phone, but only if you take me with you. You said you were just confirming the other party's whereabouts. We won't conflict with them, so there won't be any danger. Secondly, if I follow you, the police will act faster."
Without waiting for Cheng Ran to refuse, she had already sat on the back seat of the women's bicycle.
Cheng Ran managed to keep his balance. Jiang Hongshao's hands had already grabbed his shirt.
Cheng Ran struggled and said, "How can two people catch up... The speed is too slow and we can't keep up with the car..."
"Then how did you follow us before? It has nothing to do with speed. Just follow the other party's tire tracks... It's safe, okay?" Jiang Hongshao said calmly, "You are fast... Tire tracks will also change. If too many cars pass by, it may be difficult to recognize. It's better to find and confirm it as soon as possible..."
Cheng Ran thought, forget it. With Jiang Hongshao's personality, he probably couldn't leave her alone. If he wanted to use her phone, he had to take her with him. Since he said there was no danger, then there would be no danger if he took her with him.
Clack.
Cheng Ran started pedaling, and this scene appeared.
A young boy is riding a bicycle, and a girl is grabbing his clothes from behind. With the background of the sparkling lake in the distance, the two of them are not a couple strolling around in love, but are chasing criminals together in a hurry... What kind of thing is this!
Riding forward with Jiang Hongshao, Cheng Ran paused and asked, "Just now you said that with your participation, the police would act more quickly... Why?"
Cheng Ran remembered that when he was playing truth or dare with Jiang Hongshao at the cultural wall, he also wanted to ask about her background, but there was hesitation in her eyes at that time. He knew she would answer, but she might not really want to say it. So Cheng Ran changed the question at that time.
And now, he asked the question again.
After just a brief second of hesitation, Jiang Hongshao behind him said, "You were kidding!"
Cheng Ran: “…”
I know she will hide it very well. She may have many concerns, such as if she reveals it, will it change the way others get along with her, will it distance them from her, or perhaps bring unnecessary troubles to her life
Then, Jiang Hongshao's voice came out, "My father is the mayor of Shanhai City..."
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, and said, "You lied again... I suspected it before. Isn't the mayor called Li Jingping?"
A faint voice of a girl came from behind, "My last name is the same as my mother's..."
Miscalculated.
Then, Jiang Hongshao's voice came out teasingly, "So, you are also speculating and investigating me..."
Thank you for your enthusiastic voting and rewarding yesterday. The second update will be in the afternoon:)
