Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Following Yu Ru's instructions, the bodyguards covered Xu Yuan's eyes with a cloth and tied her limbs with ropes. Xu Yuan screamed and yelled at first, but she only calmed down after the bodyguards assured her that they would not do anything strange.

Today was a day off, and she had no classes scheduled for tomorrow, so she went out to the market with her bodyguard early in the morning to buy groceries. After receiving messages from her bodyguard and Yu Ru, she decided not to go shopping and rushed back home.

"Number 5, go buy some groceries. Number 3 and 4, come home with me to check on the situation." Ming Shisui turned around and looked at the three bodyguards beside him and said. The bodyguards that Yu Ru had found for her had never revealed their real names to her. The five of them were only referred to by the numbers one, two, three, four, and five.

"Got it, boss." Number Five nodded.

Ming Shisui has learned to be smart now. After being targeted by Xu Yuan, she knows that she should observe the situation when walking and see if anyone is following her. After arranging things for the bodyguards, she walked while observing the passers-by around her, as well as some seemingly hidden corners.

The crowds on the streets now are like fish that have just woken up from their morning twilight period and are out looking for food. They swim slowly and follow their own paths. It is neither too crowded nor too lonely. Therefore, it is easy to spot any suspicious individuals around.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Bodyguard No. 4 saw her looking around and couldn't help but feel curious. "Did you see someone strange?"

Ming Shisui shook his head. "Not yet. I'm just worried that there might be some strange people following us."

"Boss, just go ahead and don't worry. I'll keep an eye on the situation around us." No. 3 said.

"Oh, okay then." Ming Shisui nodded. Before she finally looked away, she looked around again.

A familiar face suddenly appeared in the crowd, as conspicuous as a reef that suddenly appeared during sailing. It was Wei Jiangshan, and Wei Xingzhi was with him. The uncle and nephew stood motionless on the side of the road, apparently resting after being tired. Wei Xingzhi was eating a huge ice cream in his hand, and Wei Jiangshan was watching him eat.

When Ming Shisui saw them for the first time, she thought she was dazzled. She blinked hard and looked in the direction where they appeared, only to find that they had not disappeared. It turned out that the scene before her was not an illusion.

Perhaps because her gaze stayed on them for too long, Wei Xingzhi keenly sensed that someone seemed to be staring at him. He turned his head and looked around him, finally locking his eyes precisely on Ming Shisui.

"Teacher Ming!" Wei Xingzhi's eyes widened instantly, and his tone was extremely excited. He tugged at the corner of Wei Jiangshan's clothes and looked towards Ming Shisui, "Uncle, look, Teacher Ming is right there."

……

Wei Jiangshan came to Ying Country for work, and Wei Xingzhi thought that Ming Shisui was also here, so he pestered him to come with him, just to visit Ming Shisui. At this moment, they followed Ming Shisui back to her home.

The house that Mingshi rented was not very big, and it was already a bit crowded with five bodyguards. Now with the arrival of Wei Jiangshan, Wei Xingzhi and their accompanying bodyguard, it was even more crowded.

The small living room was full of people. Xu Yuan realized that there were many more people around her, and many more eyes were looking at her. She couldn't see the situation around her clearly, and could only listen to the sounds around her. This invisible unknown magnified her fear, and her perception of everything around her became clearer and deeper.

Xu Yuan shrank her body and unconsciously retreated to find a place to hide. Her body was trembling slightly, rising and falling like the waves at high tide, and her head was moving restlessly.

Seeing this scene, Yu Ru's brows slightly twisted together.

She had just decided how to deal with Xu Yuan, which was to find someone to shoot or knife her.

This is the best solution, it can completely prevent Ming Shisui from getting hurt. Maybe this is a bit cruel, but it was all her own fault, who asked her to harm Ming Shisui for no reason. If she succeeded that day, Ming Shisui would have no idea what he would look like now. Even if he was lucky enough to walk out of the party alive, he would definitely go crazy.

However, the fear that Xu Yuan showed now made her uncertain again. The fear she showed was very familiar to her. It must be a subconscious behavior when facing a similar scene again after experiencing a lot of torture.

To some extent, or in a certain aspect, they are the same kind. Yu Ru was silent, looking at the images on the surveillance camera, and she did not convey more information to the bodyguard or Ming Shisui.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Shan Ci recognized Yu Ru's expression and analyzed that she seemed a little unhappy at the moment, so he took the initiative to break the silence.

[Should they lock up the woman first, feed her normally, and not insult her verbally or physically, and ask her why she targeted Ming Shisui and who arranged for her to do so. Let the female bodyguards do the interrogation, and let the men stay away. This is it for now, I need to think about other options.]

After the gesture, Yu Ru leaned back in the chair behind her, somewhat tiredly. She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then looked at Yunjixing beside her.

"Aru, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" Yun Jixing asked while hugging her.

Yu Ru shook her head.

Ming Shi followed home,

Wei Xingzhi was very curious when he saw so many people in the room, all wearing the same clothes. He kept his eyes on Xu Yuan, and at the same time he tiptoed to Ming Shisui's side. Wei Jiangshan was afraid that he would be naughty again and do something weird, so he followed him.

Wei Xingzhi asked in a low voice: "Teacher Ming, who is this person? Why is he tied up here?"

Without waiting for Ming Shisui to answer, Wei Jiangshan pulled him aside and warned him in a low voice, "Wei Xingzhi, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. It's not polite to pry into other people's privacy like this."

"How can this be considered private?" Wei Xingzhi's thick eyebrows wrinkled like a crawling caterpillar. "She's right here, we all saw her, okay? I just asked why she's there."

"Xiaozhi, actually I don't know why she is suddenly here. She was tied up in my house. I just found out about it." Ming Shisui walked over and said.

"Huh? Teacher Ming, you don't know? Then how did this person appear here?" Wei Xingzhi was very confused.

"Hmm..." Ming Shisui thought for a moment and replied, "My good friend helped me deal with it."

"Teacher Ming, is your good friend here too? How did she help you deal with it?" Wei Xingzhi asked again.

"Wei Xingzhi." Wei Jiangshan called out, "You have a lot of questions." He turned to look at the bodyguard beside him and said, "Xie Bin, take Wei Xingzhi to the door. Don't be too far away, no more than 30 meters."

"Okay Mr. Wei."

After Wei Xingzhi was forcibly taken away from the scene, Wei Jiangshan asked Ming Shisui: "Teacher Ming, what is the name of this girl?"

"Hmm..." Ming Shi turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, tried to recall, and answered after a moment: "Xu Yuan, this should be her name."

"I have heard a little about her deeds. How did you get to know her?"
