Cheng Mingtai had already learned the general course of events from his girlfriend Qiao Xi.

The two brothers comforted Luo Youdi.

Mu Mingqi said, "I know someone at the police station here. We'll go get some information when daybreak."

Luo Youdi immediately expressed her gratitude.

Cheng Mingtai spoke again to comfort her: "Good fortune always comes to those who are lucky. She always manages to turn misfortune into fortune, and this time will be no exception. You must take care of yourselves, otherwise you will fall ill when she returns safely."

"One has already collapsed." Thinking of the principal who had just been sent to the ward, Luo Youdi forced a wry smile. "I'm very strong. Don't worry. Once you get to the police station, notify me immediately if you have any news."

Cheng Mingtai: “Yeah.”

After getting the assurance, Luo Youdi turned around and entered the ward with confidence.

The two brothers also left to visit Qiao Xi's ward.

It was late at night and there was almost no one in the corridor. The patients were all resting in the wards.

The brothers' footsteps were particularly clear in the silent corridor.

The ubiquitous smell of disinfectant irritated people's nerves. Qiao Xi, lying on the hospital bed, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. From time to time, he took out his mobile phone to check the time.

My boyfriend Cheng Mingtai said he had arrived.

She kept wondering in her mind whether they had arrived in the capital and how long it would take to get to the hospital.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the door of the ward was opened. She looked over immediately. Seeing that the person who came in was her boyfriend whom she had been thinking about day and night, her eyes immediately turned red and tears fell.

Cheng Mingtai walked over quickly and saw her crying. He sat down beside the bed and hugged her in his arms with heartache. His voice was low and dark: "Sorry, I'm late." When he received Qiao Xi's call, he immediately bought a plane ticket.

Mu Mingqi was there at the time, and the two brothers were resting at home.

When Mu Mingqi learned that Zhang Ran was in trouble, he immediately expressed his desire to come over, and Cheng Mingtai quickly bought another plane ticket.

The two brothers flew here without even packing their luggage, without wasting a second.

Qiao Xi was always smart and knew that he was trying to comfort himself, "You came quickly enough."

Cheng Mingtai freed one hand and reached for a tissue on the bedside table, then bent down and gently wiped her tears.

Suddenly, there was a sound of someone turning over in the bed next to her. Qiao Xi belatedly remembered that there was another classmate who was also sick. She pushed Cheng Mingtai away embarrassedly, snatched the tissue from his hand and wiped her tears herself, lowering her voice: "There is still no news about Zhang Ran. Will she be in trouble?"

"No," Cheng Mingtai soothed her softly, watching her eyes swell up like walnuts from crying. This was the second time he had seen her cry. The first time was when he finally agreed to her pursuit, and she cried tears of joy and excitement.

"The kidnappers locked us in the basement. She hid me behind a pile of junk and left me a gun for self-defense..." Qiao Xi said as tears fell again without warning: "...How could she be so stupid? I was unconscious at the time and didn't know anything. What use would a gun have been?"

"She was in such a dangerous situation at the time and she could have escaped on her own, but she hid me. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to escape after waking up, so she also left me the key to the basement."

"Shixu and I were rescued by the police, but there's been no news about her until now. Could it be that the kidnappers discovered that she had escaped and killed her?" Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Xi trembled with fear, and her tears fell faster like pearls from a broken string.
