The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel
Chapter 182 Convenience Store 3
Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness, a deep despair, as if she had fallen into an endless dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of light or a way out. Her eyes were originally bright and clear, but now they were filled with fear and worry, becoming turbid and confused. Her thoughts were tangled together like a tangled mess. She tried to sort out her thoughts and find a solution, but her brain seemed to be shrouded in a fog and she couldn't think.
"What should I do? What should I do? If the police knew that Sima Yao didn't have an ID number, they would definitely not let us go easily." All kinds of terrible consequences kept flashing through her mind, and every scene made her shudder.
"Gu Nianzhi?" The police had already found Gu Nianzhi's identity information, but his face suddenly changed. He looked at the photo in the program and asked repeatedly: "Are you really Gu Nianzhi?" The police's low and serious voice seemed particularly heavy in this already tense atmosphere. His voice was like a thunder exploding above Gu Nianzhi's head, and every word carried a heavy pressure. The voice was full of doubt and confusion, as if Gu Nianzhi's appearance was an unexplainable mystery.
His brows were tightly twisted into a knot, and the deep wrinkles were like knife cuts, showing his inner entanglement and doubts. His eyes were filled with deep doubts and scrutiny, like two sharp knives, stabbing straight at Gu Nianzhi, as if he wanted to penetrate her soul and find out the truth. The eyes were sharp and cold, without the slightest warmth, making Gu Nianzhi feel as if she had been stripped naked, exposed in front of everyone, with nowhere to escape.
"Yes, officer. It's genuine." Gu Nianzhi tried to straighten her chest and look calm. However, her trembling voice betrayed her inner panic. The voice was like a flame swaying in the wind, weak and trembling. Her throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and she had to work hard to squeeze out every word.
Her hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, her knuckles turned pale due to excessive force, and she unconsciously crumpled the corner of her clothes into a ball. She could feel her palms sweating, and the sweat soaked the corner of her clothes, making the fabric damp and soft. Her fingers were like iron pliers, tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, as if it was her only life-saving straw in the storm.
Her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to make contact with the police for a long time, as if once she made contact, her inner secrets would be instantly seen through. Her eyes were like a frightened bird, wandering around in panic, sometimes looking at the equipment in the police's hands, and sometimes glancing at the street outside the store, but she didn't dare to stay on the police's scrutinizing eyes.
The two policemen looked at each other, then walked a few steps faster and whispered to each other. Their expressions were serious and solemn, like two pieces of stone carved into a serious look. Their brows were furrowed and their lips were tightly closed, as if they were thinking about something extremely important.
Their voices were very low, like mosquitoes buzzing in the ears, making it difficult to hear the specific content. The low buzzing sound echoed in Gu Nianzhi's ears, making her nerves more tense. Her ears unconsciously pricked up, trying to catch even the slightest bit of information, but she could only vaguely hear a few words like "notify her to come and see if it's true" and "this is strange".
Every vague word was like a sharp thorn, piercing deep into her heart, making her already uneasy heart even more uneasy. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and every beat became extremely difficult.
"What are they talking about? Why are they so mysterious? Am I in big trouble?" Gu Nianzhi's mind was filled with all kinds of speculations and worries. Every thought was like a dark cloud, gathering in her heart, making her feel extremely depressed and heavy.
Soon, the older police officer came over. His steps were steady and powerful, and each step seemed to carry an invisible pressure. His leather shoes stepped on the floor tiles of the convenience store, making a clear and rhythmic sound, "Da Da Da", the sound was like a heavy drumbeat, hitting Gu Nianzhi's heart one by one. His posture was upright, his back was straight, like a pine tree that has experienced wind and rain but still stands tall, giving people a sense of unwavering determination.
His face still had a serious expression, which seemed like lines carved on stone, deep and difficult to change. His brows were slightly furrowed, forming two deep furrows, as if carrying the vicissitudes of life and the responsibility of his profession. His eyes were deep and firm, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, which made people dare not look directly at him, but they could feel the majesty and sharp insight contained in them.
"Our system shows that Gu Nianzhi has been missing for half a year. Her friends called the police. We have notified her friends to come and verify your identity." The police officer's voice was calm and cold, but it sounded like thunder in Gu Nianzhi's ears. Although the voice was calm, it carried an unquestionable authority. Every word was like a heavy bomb, which set off a storm in Gu Nianzhi's already turbulent heart.
Gu Nianzhi nodded slightly, "Did Li Yiru call the police?" Her voice was filled with helplessness and emotion, and it was light and seemed to have lost its weight. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she had to spend a lot of effort to utter each word. The voice floated in the air, seeming so fragile and helpless.
Her eyes became a little blurry, and her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the past. In her mind, the good times she spent with Li Yiru emerged. They had chased and played together in the park, and their laughter echoed in the air. It was a sunny spring day, and the flowers in the park were vying for beauty, and the colorful petals were like a dreamlike painting. They ran on the green grass, and the grass leaves under their feet gently brushed their ankles, bringing a slight itchy feeling. The sun shone on them, reflecting two cheerful figures. Their laughter was as clear as silver bells, interweaving into a beautiful movement in the air.
They also talked about their innermost thoughts together in the middle of the night, with tears soaking each other's shoulders. It was a quiet night, and the moonlight outside the window poured into the corner of the room like water. They sat side by side on the tatami in front of the window, surrounded by the faint fragrance of tea. Gu Nianzhi gently leaned on Li Yiru's shoulder and whispered about her inner troubles and worries. Li Yiru listened quietly, patting her back from time to time to give silent comfort. When Gu Nianzhi couldn't help crying, Li Yiru hugged her tightly, letting her tears soak her clothes.
The police looked at the display on the system and said, "The person who called the police was indeed Li Yiru."
"She is my best friend. She would call the police if I didn't show up. She was the first person I thought of." As expected by Gu Nianzhi, her best friend Li Yiru was the one who cared about her the most in the world after her grandfather passed away. Gu Nianzhi's eyes were slightly red, tears were swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall. She remembered that when her grandfather passed away, she was heartbroken, as if the whole world had collapsed. It was a dark and cold day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was suffocating. At her grandfather's funeral, she wore black mourning clothes and stood blankly in front of the coffin. Her tears had dried up, leaving only endless grief and despair.
It was Li Yiru who silently accompanied her, gave her a warm hug and comforted her. In those days, Li Yiru was like a beam of light, illuminating her dark world. Li Yiru held her hand, whispered to her, told her that her grandfather would rest in heaven, and told her that she was still by her side. Her voice was gentle and firm, as if there was a magical power that gradually healed Gu Nianzhi's broken heart.
Gu Nianzhi's thoughts wandered in memories, her heart filled with gratitude and longing for Li Yiru. Her hands unconsciously clenched, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, but she felt no pain. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was silently telling Li Yiru in the distance what was in her heart.
"This person is not the scammer you are worried about." The police had seen through the system that there had been no money transfers in Gu Nianzhi's account in the past six months, and she had a legitimate job before she disappeared, and her credit in all aspects was good. The probability of her being a scammer was almost zero, so they explained to the clerk. The police's tone was serious and firm, and there was no room for doubt. The voice was steady and powerful, as if it was the final ruling in the court, with an irresistible authority.
"I'm so sorry." The clerk smiled awkwardly and returned to the counter with a red face. He lowered his head to his chest, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. His red face was like a ripe tomato, and the scorching temperature spread from his cheeks to his ears. His eyes were full of embarrassment and guilt, as if he was a child who was caught making a mistake and was ashamed. His eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look anyone in the eye. He just stared at his toes.
He kept rubbing his hands together, his movements were hasty and flustered, like two restless little mice fighting each other. He kept mumbling words of apology, his voice was as low as the buzzing of a mosquito, as if he wanted to relieve his inner anxiety and regret. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I misunderstood, I'm really sorry..." Every word was filled with deep self-blame, floating in the air.
The two policemen sat at the table in the convenience store, leaning forward slightly, looking a little relaxed. Their backs were no longer as straight and stiff as before, and their shoulders sank slightly, as if they had unloaded some of the burden. The slight "creaking" sound of the chairs rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in this quiet convenience store.
While waiting for Li Yiru's arrival, he chatted with Gu Nianzhi in a casual manner.
"According to our records, your friends have been looking for you for half a year. The police have also searched for you through Sky Eye and mobile phone signals, but they have not found your whereabouts. We thought you had..." The police paused and pursed his lips, as if the following words were difficult to say. His eyes revealed complex emotions, with doubts, and the doubts were like a fog, shrouding the depths of his eyes, making him want to explore but not knowing where to start. There was also a trace of sympathy that was not easily detected, and that sympathy was like a faint candlelight, flashing in his eyes.
He stared at Gu Nianzhi, trying to catch some clues from her expression. His eyes were sharp and focused, not missing any slight changes on her face, as if he was deciphering a profound code book.
"You thought I had disappeared from this world?" Gu Nianzhi replied with a bitter smile, her smile was filled with helplessness and self-mockery. That smile was like petals blown off by the autumn wind, sad and broken. The corners of her mouth were raised, but they did not reach her eyes. Instead, tears were flashing in her eyes, and under the light, they looked like twinkling stars.
Her gaze fell into the distance, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the past six months. It was a time full of mystery and unknown, full of experiences that she could not describe. Memories came flooding back like a tide, and every picture was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart. She thought of those lonely and helpless moments, those days of groping in the dark, and an indescribable bitterness surged in her heart.
"For the past six months, I've been trapped in a nightmare that I can't wake up from." Gu Nianzhi said softly, her voice so low that only she could hear it. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and every word was heavy. "No one can find me, and I don't know how to get back." Her eyes became empty, as if her soul had left her body and drifted to the past that she couldn't bear to look back on.
The policeman sighed softly, nodded and said: "In this era, not using mobile payment, not appearing under public cameras, and not contacting any relatives and friends will indeed make people think so. After all, in today's society, almost everyone's whereabouts can be tracked through various technical means. The development of technology has made people's lives transparent, and your sudden disappearance is like a drop of water merging into the sea, leaving no trace." His voice was low and steady, with professional seriousness and earnestness. The voice seemed to come from a deep valley, with a heavy texture. Every word was clear and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting an iron plate, making a clanging sound.
His eyes were focused and solemn, as if he was describing the details of an extremely important case. His eyes revealed his awe of the power of modern science and technology and his thoughts on this bizarre incident. His fingers tapped the table lightly, in a slow and regular rhythm, as if in line with his thoughts. The tapping sound echoed in the quiet air, and each tap seemed to hit Gu Nianzhi's heart. The movement of his fingers was gentle but firm, and the moment his fingertips touched the table, a slight "tap tap" sound was made, as if it was the footsteps of time passing.
