All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

Chapter 264 The Evil Group Pet of the Era 15

In early autumn in Beijing, the weather still carries the lingering warmth of late summer. The sun shines through the leaves that are beginning to turn slightly yellow, and the air is filled with a tranquility and anticipation before the harvest season.

Lin Lu's letter was delivered to Xiaobailou with a cool autumn breeze. The envelope was printed with the number of the Liao Province army.

Lin Jianguo opened the letter, read it, and handed it to Wang Juan. He smiled and said to Lin Ruan, "Your second brother will come back to visit next month."

Wang Juan also laughed after reading the letter: "This brat has grown up and found a partner for himself, and she's a teacher. That's great."

Lin Jianguo said, "It just so happens that the eldest brother is discussing marriage with us. Let's look at a good date next month so that the second brother can come back and catch his eldest brother's wedding."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Juan agreed immediately.

Just as the Lin family was immersed in the autumn joy of having a new baby, Ji Hanchuan, the team leader of the third group of the purchasing department of the department store, suffered repeated illnesses and eventually died in the hospital this month.

When the news reached the purchasing department, it was afternoon. The sunlight slanted into the office, bringing a burst of sighs.

Although Ji Hanchuan had not been very close to everyone due to health reasons since he was parachuted in, he was so young after all, had the aura of a college student, and his future was once promising to many people. But he passed away so quietly, which inevitably made people feel a sense of regret and the impermanence of life.

Colleagues lowered their voices and talked among themselves, lamenting that talented people are envied by heaven and withered away in autumn.

Only Lin Ruan, upon hearing the news, felt as calm as a deep pool, with even a hint of mockery and relief passing through his eyes.

She stood by the window in the office, looking at the old locust tree in the yard outside the window, which was beginning to drop a few yellow leaves, and sneered in her heart: Ji Hanchuan, your path to becoming the son of destiny has finally been cut short by me in this cool autumn season.

After all, this world doesn’t revolve around you. The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves; it’s just the law of nature.

Ji Hanchuan's sudden death left the position of leader of Purchasing Group 3 completely vacant.

Since Lin Ruan had already assumed most of the responsibilities of a team leader in actual work and had outstanding performance recently, and with the strong recommendation of Director Zhao Heping, there was almost no hesitation and the appointment notice was quickly issued: Comrade Lin Ruan was officially appointed as the team leader of the third purchasing group of the purchasing department.

The autumn sun was bright on the day the appointment was made.

Zhao Heping specifically called Lin Ruan to his office. His tone was heavy but encouraging. "Xiao Lin, Team Leader Ji has unfortunately passed away. We are all very sad. Alas, it's such a pity... But the work must continue. The burden of Group 3 is now officially in your hands. Your abilities are obvious to all. I hope you won't feel pressured. Work boldly and lead Group 3 to even greater heights!"

Lin Ruan's face revealed a touch of heaviness and regret. With her head lowered slightly, she solemnly accepted the appointment documents. "Thank you, Director, for your trust. I will turn this grief into strength and work hard to do a good job. I will not let you down and will live up to the foundation that Team Leader Ji has laid for the team."

Turning around and walking out of the director's office, there was no one in the corridor. Lin Ruan could no longer suppress the victorious smile on her face, like the most dazzling sunshine in autumn.

Team leader! She finally took this position with full legitimacy, no longer having to be dominated by a short-lived sickly person.

Career advancement was smooth, and family happiness also accelerated.

Shortly after Lin Ruan was officially promoted to team leader, Lin Lu finally returned from the army with his girlfriend Qin Xue.

Qin Xue is indeed as her name suggests, with a calm and gentle temperament, fair skin, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. She speaks slowly and calmly, with a scholarly gentleness, and her words and actions are very appropriate.

She and Lin Lu stood together, one heroic and the other gentle, they were a perfect match.

Wang Juan looked at her second son and his future daughter-in-law, who was a teacher, and liked them more and more.

Lin Jianguo was also very satisfied with Qin Xue and felt that his son had found a sensible partner.

Lin Shen's marriage was originally planned. In order to wait for Lin Lu to come back to attend his brother's wedding, the date was specially set after his vacation.

Now that Lin Lu has returned with his family, Lin Shen's wedding is officially on the agenda.

As autumn deepened, on a sunny weekend, Lin Shen and Su Wanqing's wedding was held simply and lively in a state-owned restaurant near the Lin family's home.

Although frugality is advocated, Wang Juan still tried her best to make the wedding decent and thoughtful.

Lin Shen was wearing a brand new gray-blue Zhongshan suit with a red flower pinned on his chest. He looked particularly energetic and steady, with a happy smile on his face.

The bride, Su Wanqing, wore a carefully prepared red twill suit jacket with an exquisite brooch on her collar. Her hair was carefully tied up and she had a little makeup on. She looked gentle and delicate, with the shyness and sweetness of a newlywed.

The deputy director personally attended the wedding to witness it, which gave the Lin family great face.

Lin Jianguo and Wang Juan were busy running around, greeting relatives and friends, their faces filled with pride and satisfaction.

The wedding of eldest brother Lin Shen ended successfully. The Lin family was still immersed in the afterglow of the happy event at home, and the small white building was filled with warmth and liveliness.

However, this has nothing to do with Lin Ruan, who had already moved to an independent courtyard. She still lives her life step by step.

When she was at work, off work, or on break, she would go back to her own home or to Grandma Lin's. As for the housework in the courtyard, there was a nanny robot in the space to help, so she didn't have to get her hands dirty.

At the end of the year, good news came from the department store - their purchasing department also received several invitations to the Guangzhou International Exchange Conference, and each of the three groups received one.

Lin Ruan, who had just been promoted to team leader, took on this business trip assignment without hesitation.

She simply packed her luggage, said goodbye to her family, and boarded the train heading south again.

The carriage was a mixed crowd, filled with various accents and smells. Lin Ruan had bought a sleeper ticket, which was relatively quiet.

The train rattled along for a day and a night. The next afternoon, when it stopped at a larger transfer station, many people piled into the hard-seat carriages, making the place even more crowded and noisy.

Lin Ruan stood up and went to the connection between the carriages to get some fresh air.

Just as she was passing the hard seat carriage, she caught a glimpse of an unusual scene out of the corner of her eye: a middle-aged woman in tattered clothes and with a fierce face was supporting a young girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with her hair covering her face, who was leaning on her, and walking towards the door.

It looks like he's about to get off the bus.

"Seventeen, check that guy. Is he a human trafficker? See if there are any accomplices on the train?"

"Received." System Seventeen responded quickly.

A moment later, Seventeen's voice echoed in Lin Ruan's mind: "Ruan Ruan, that middle-aged woman is indeed a human trafficker. She has two accomplices on the train, keeping watch at the front and back of the carriage. The girl she's holding hostage was abducted and intended to be sold to a remote mountainous area."

Lin Ruan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a feeling of extreme disgust and anger instantly rushed into his heart.

She didn't consider herself a kind and righteous person, but perhaps because she had seen a TV series about human trafficking in her childhood, she hated human traffickers very much.

Or maybe, she sometimes feels soft-hearted towards girls.

Without any hesitation, Lin Ruan quickly stepped forward and shouted in a cold voice: "What are you doing! Let her go!"

The middle-aged woman was startled. When she saw that it was a beautiful young woman traveling alone, she immediately cursed angrily, "Get out of here! Mind your own business! I'm helping my daughter who's carsick. It's none of your business!"

"Your daughter?" Lin Ruan sneered, her eyes sharp as a knife. "At her age and dressed like this, does she look like she's from the same family as you? Besides, I don't think she's going with you willingly! Flight attendant! There's human trafficking going on here!"

She suddenly raised her voice and shouted towards the other end of the carriage.

The three traffickers were guilty, and their faces suddenly changed when they heard the word "passenger police." The two men's eyes turned fierce, and they squeezed over as if they wanted to attack Lin Ruan.

But Lin Ruan was faster!

She raised her foot seemingly casually and kicked one of the men accurately on the calf tendon. The man screamed "ouch" and almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, she pushed her elbow back, hitting the chest of another man who was trying to approach her from behind, causing him to groan and take two steps back.

Her moves were clean and neat, with a ruthlessness and precision that didn't match her appearance, and instantly calmed the situation.

The passengers around also noticed the commotion here and gathered around, pointing and talking.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three human traffickers no longer cared about the girl and tried to slip out of the car while cursing.

"Catch them! They are human traffickers!" Lin Ruan shouted again.

Finally, with the help of several enthusiastic passengers, the flight attendants who rushed to the scene controlled the three human traffickers.

As a courageous person and key witness, Lin Ruan cooperated with the train police in making a brief statement and leaving her contact information. The train police expressed their gratitude and said they would report her story to their superiors.

Lin Ruan didn't care about it. She looked at the resentful eyes of the three human traffickers when they were handcuffed and taken away, sneering in her heart.

On the way back to the train station, Lin Ruan took the opportunity to go to the toilet and threw a teleportation button in the corner of a public toilet near the train station.

Since those human traffickers planned to get off the train here, this must be their lair.

She won't let them have it easy.

Never will.

A strong, destructive thought grew in her mind.

She hated this kind of dirty business, and now that she had come across it, she might as well... root it out!

The train finally arrived at Guangzhou Station.

Lin Ruan followed the crowd off the bus and found the guesthouse arranged by the exchange conference reception office to stay in. On the surface, everything was normal for her, checking in and inquiring about the exchange conference.

However, in the dead of night, the real action began.

She first took out a puppet robot that was exactly the same as herself from the space and set the program.

Then, she changed into the clothes she brought from the interstellar world, used a disguise pill to change her appearance, and returned to the city through the teleportation button.

"Seventeen, find the lairs of all the human traffickers in this city, as well as all their closely connected associates. Also, locate their protectors. Locate them all for me."

"...Okay." The system was silent for only a second before transmitting all the information Lin Ruan needed to her mind.

The next few hours were a silent nightmare for those who were marked.

Lin Ruan was like a ghost in the dark night. With his ability to jump through space and the system's precise navigation, he appeared in and out of hiding, in casinos, in dark alleys, and even in the dormitory of a police station...

She didn't give the other party any chance to react. She appeared and used a talisman to freeze them in place.

"I'm sorry, I haven't killed anyone in a long time, so my execution wasn't very smooth. Please bear with me."

The woman holding a sharp dagger, her face and body covered in blood, apologized in a soft voice, her fingers gently stroking their muscles that were trembling with pain, her expression very intoxicated.

But Linruan doesn't just kill people.

She also took all their money.

Then, her target turned to more distant places - the remote mountain villages that the system marked as frequent "deliveries" based on the information extracted from the traffickers' brains.

She appeared above the dark mountain village, looking down on all living beings like an indifferent god.

She didn't touch the trafficked women with numb eyes. Her targets were the perpetrators, the buyers, and all the villagers who acquiesced to or even maintained this evil system—the elderly, the men, and the young boys who had been influenced by it and had already assimilated.

There are very few girls in this kind of mountain village because they favor boys over girls. Girls are thrown into the back mountains as soon as they are born, so boys cannot get married when they grow up.

That's why they choose to drag the girl who was raised with care by other families into hell.

One family after another. One village after another.

She had no mercy in her heart. In her view, these people were just as guilty as the traffickers, and even more despicable, because they were the soil and the end point of this evil chain.

She cut these people into pieces silently, just like harvesting crops. Then, she placed some of the money she had looted on the pillows of those women.

After an unknown number of days, Lin Ruan, whose eyes were already blood-red, heard the sound of sirens getting closer and closer to her.

She did not deliberately cover up the traces. She wanted to tell the world clearly that she was the murderer.

Lin Ruan walked calmly towards the back mountain of the village.

The mountains behind stretched endlessly, gloomy and oppressive. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves fell, like the sighs and sobs of young women, one after another.

"Stop! If you don't stop, we'll shoot!"

"Shiqi, go to Gangcheng. I don't want to work hard anymore. Can you go to Gangcheng to earn a fortune for me? I will come to find you when the time comes." Lin Ruan said.

"boom!"

"I don't want to leave you, Ruanruan. I don't know how much longer I can stay with you... I heard from them that the inspection at headquarters this time is extremely strict, and I'm afraid I can't escape it."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"I know, it's okay. I can live well on my own." Lin Ruan said.

"Damn, how can she run so fast? Keep chasing her!"

"Okay. If this is what you want, I promise you." said the system.

They had run to a cliff.

Beneath the cliff, surrounded by clouds and mist, the numerous corpses could not be seen. Who were they?

"Don't be afraid, Seventeen, we will all survive."

Lin Ruan smiled unscrupulously in front of the soldiers and police who rushed over, and then jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

After enjoying the thrill of weightlessness, Lin Ruan activated the teleportation button and fell heavily on the bed in the guesthouse.

Lin Ruan took a hot bath and changed back into her exquisite clothes. There was no sign of fatigue on her face. Instead, there was a sense of calmness and indifference after venting.

The system told her that no matter whether the headquarters noticed their little tricks or not, it would soon accompany her to the end.

Because even if it tried its best to suppress it, the thickness of Lin Ruan's soul had reached the threshold.

It wasn't the limit of what her body could bear, but it was the level that the headquarters could harvest.

There is also space, and the space will expand to a range that Lin Ruan's soul cannot bear, thus leading to closure.

By that time, the system will be forcibly separated from Lin Ruan's body because it is rooted in the soul, so by that time, Lin Ruan's soul will be torn to the extent that it cannot withstand the next time it travels.

Then, when she dies in the cyclic world, her soul will be expelled from this world.

Conscious souls will be swallowed into her space and, based on her memories, evolve into a new circular world, waiting for headquarters to come and harvest it.

She stood at the window, looking at the streets of Guangzhou in the evening, her heart calm.

She didn't think about the system, nor did she think about her own ending.

She was thinking about a song, thinking about the lyrics -

I'm not the first person to get hurt.

Nor the most broken soul,

If you come alone, you should leave alone.

Don't worry, I'll just laugh it off.
