Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

"Okay, continue eating. It's okay. A'ru will come back to see you often in the future. Don't worry. I went out to work a few days ago, not because I didn't want you." Yun Jixing turned his head to look at Gu Xian'an's clean bowl and said, "I'll give you some more prawns."

The two of them comforted Gu Xian'an for a while before it calmed down. However, it stopped eating and just lay at Yu Ru's feet to guard her.

When Gu Xian'an was little, Yu Ru held him in her arms and fed him mouthful by mouthful with a spoon. Yu Ru treated him like her own child. Seeing him look so unhappy now, she felt bad. She paused the projection and squatted down to check on him.

She wanted to hold it in her arms like she did a few months ago, but she found it was too big, and it seemed to be afraid that she would get tired, so it tried to get close to her but also avoided her embrace. After trying several times, Yu Ru was unable to hold it, so she had to give up.

Gu Xian'an's bowl had a layer inside which was a spoon. Seeing that she couldn't lift Gu Xian'an up, Yu Ru opened the layer, took out the spoon, and used it to scoop rice and feed it to Gu Xian'an.

Gu Xian'an didn't eat. He turned his head away and kept avoiding the spoon that Yu Ru handed to him. It was unclear whether he was full or just in no mood to eat. He would raise his head to look at her from time to time, but once he met her eyes, he would immediately lower his head or look elsewhere.

Seeing this, Yunjixing said, "Aru, it may be full and doesn't want to eat now. We will check on its condition later. You eat first."

After he finished talking to her, he turned to Gu Xian'an and said, "Gu Xian'an, are you full? If so, just bark twice."

"Woof woof!" Gu Xian'an immediately called out twice.

……

After dinner, Yu Ru returned to her room and took out her diary which had been dusty for many years.

She has four diaries in total, one records her experience in the black-hearted factory, one records the bullying she suffered in school, one records the many dark pursuits she encountered after she founded the Red Star Eye, and the last one records the persecution of her by ordinary diaries. The diary that was turned out was the one that recorded her experience in the black-hearted factory.

Faced with these heart-wrenching experiences, she could only try her best to calm herself down and not read them carefully. She quickly flipped through the pages of her diary, skipping over any words she saw and pausing for a moment when she saw pictures.

She turned halfway through the page and finally stopped at a page where a pattern occupied the entire page. There was no writing on this page, only a pattern drawn with a blue ballpoint pen. The pattern looked like a spider at first glance, but after a closer look, it seemed that the spider's body was not a body, but an eye.

Yu Ru took out her phone, called up the projection image she had just taken, and compared the spider tattoo on the projection with the spider pattern in the diary. The result was clear at a glance, the two patterns were roughly the same except for the color.

After comparing them, she put down the two things in her hands and fell into deep thought.

Yunjixing glanced at the two things and asked, "Aru, how did you draw them in advance? Have you seen them before?"

Yu Ru turned her head to look at him and gestured, "In the place where I was abducted, there was a person with a tattoo like this. I seemed to have seen it again a few years ago. It seemed to be from a cult organization in Southeast Asia. Do you know what this tattoo is?"

"It's from a cult in Southeast Asia, and it's the emblem of some sorcerer organization. I've asked someone to investigate which organization it belongs to. I should have news in a few days."

Yu Ru nodded and fell into deep thought again.

Yun Jixing looked at her and held one of her hands. Yu Ru looked up along the hand he was holding her with a puzzled look.

After waiting for a long time without him speaking, she pulled out her hand and gestured, "Are you trying to ask me what I saw and experienced at the coal mining site?"

Yun Jixing sighed softly, "Yes, I want to feel your pain, but I also feel that I shouldn't ask. Feeling it won't help. Apart from giving you money, I can't solve anything. Instead, I will make you experience the pain again mentally."

Yu Ru smiled, "It's okay, I don't mind telling you, I've become indifferent to it anyway. You should know about those things. It's nothing more than the so-called upper class and the powerful fighting for interests and harming innocent people. But now I'm an eyewitness, I'm afraid you will be depressed if you see it from my perspective."

"Aru..." Yun Jixing held Yu Ru's hand again, not knowing what to say.

The two sat together, each falling into silence. After a moment, Yu Ru pulled her hand back, "I think whether I tell you or not, you will think too much, and it seems that it will make you depressed. I wrote a diary about my experience of being abducted and sold, and I also wrote a diary about the bullying I suffered at school. I will show these two diaries to you later, and you can read them selectively. Now let's talk about something else, something more relaxing. Do you have any questions?"

"No, I just want to hold you and look at you."

Yu Ru smiled slightly, and since they were sitting on a bed, she immediately lay down and rested her head on Yun Jixing's thighs.

[Don’t you have anything to ask? When I mentioned the Red Star Eye that day, you seemed quite surprised. Are you interested?]

Yun Jixing nodded slightly, "I am interested, but this is your secret and also Red Star's secret, so I won't ask. I knew about the existence of Red Star several years ago. I heard that this organization upholds justice and there are many powerful people in this organization. I applied to join it two years ago, but was rejected."

Yu Ru stared into his eyes, frozen for a moment. She had done many shameful things, but they were not evil, but rather just, such as Red Star.

Therefore, she didn't mind telling Yunjixing about the Red Star Eye. On the contrary, she hoped that someone she trusted could know these things, so that she wouldn't be asked to take things that should be known to others into the land and seal them forever. She wanted to leave a little trace in this world, rather than leaving cleanly, with nothing and no one knowing her, as if she had never been born into this world.

Her current condition is not very safe. Something could happen at any time, so she really needs to be prepared.

Soon, her eyes became lively, [Why do you want to join the Red Star Eye?]

Yun Jixing looked at Yu Ru lovingly, stroking her arm with one hand, "I feel that this organization is the light of righteousness, and there are many powerful people in it. I wanted to join and learn, and communicate with those geniuses. But unfortunately, I failed."

Yu Ru smiled meaningfully, "You haven't even entered yet, and you already know it's the Light of Righteousness? And those who know the truth doubt that it doesn't exist, so how can you be sure that the Red Star Eye really exists in the world?"

"I'm sure, because someone close to me has been sanctioned by Red Star. Maybe someone will pretend to be Red Star and do those things, but technology cannot be imitated. Our country also knows the existence of this organization and acknowledges it. The country's attitude is supportive and will help Red Star hide her whereabouts, but it's very obscure. I also heard that Red Star amassed wealth worldwide and stole 30 billion. She handed all of this 30 billion to our country's central financial department."

"It is very difficult to take so much money and then launder it and hand it over to the country. Hong Xing can do it, which shows that she is very smart. Such a capable person also closely links her own destiny with the destiny of the country. She must not be a bad person. At least, she must have great love in her heart, so the organization she leads must be a good organization."

Yu Ru nodded and looked at Yun Jixing seriously, cautiously and carefully. She gestured with her hands and said, "You are right, Hongxing is a good person. How did you know about the 30 billion? Is this matter well-known among those powerful people?"

"It's not well-known. Only a few national leaders and some staff members of related departments know about it. The fact that Red Star stole 30 billion to give back to the country and the Red Star Eye organization have been included in the top secret files. They are not allowed to be spread outside and will never be made public. Even if the country knows that this organization does exist, no one can investigate and confirm it. Anyone who talks nonsense will be shot. I know about this because someone I know was sanctioned by Red Star and lost 2 billion in capital flow. This person is Liu Yongqiang, the founder of Emerging Technology Group."

Yun Jixing sighed helplessly, "Liu Yongqiang's identity is very special, similar to Lan Youde, and he has a major impact on the development history of our country. Unfortunately, he became a traitor early on and helped some top foreign forces steal state-owned assets. So on the one hand, he was guided by foreign forces, and on the other hand, he himself was resentful and wanted to find someone to take revenge on Hongxing. He happened to find me and my father, and that's when I heard about it."

After listening, Yu Ru nodded solemnly, lowered her eyes and leaned on Yun Jixing's chest, then suddenly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Yun Jixing looked at her with pity, touched her forehead, and said softly: "Aru, are you tired? I'll carry you to the bathroom to wash up, and rest early today. You've been tired in the virtual world for so long, just rest well in the real world. I will protect you from the ups and downs outside."

Yu Ru shook her head and opened her eyes again, [Let’s talk a little more. I want to know how you applied to join the Red Star Eye?]
