Live fortune telling: Sending a top star to prison right from the start.
Chapter 121 Where to Find a House
Lu Rou led Jun Yan and ran in one direction.
Lu Rou asked, "Are you confident?"
Jun Yan nodded: "Of course."
Seeing the thug carrying Si Mo about to disappear around the street corner, the two exchanged a glance, their understanding unwavering.
As the distance between them gradually closed, the thug seemed to panic and stumbled, but he still held on tightly to Si Mo.
Jun Yanran seized the opportunity, leaped forward, and grabbed the hem of the thug's clothes.
Enraged, the thug swung his fist back, but Jun Yan dodged to the side and pulled him hard, causing the thug to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
Si Mo took the opportunity to roll to the side, and burst into tears in fright.
"Waaah~ Sister, I'm so scared."
Lu Rou rushed over and hugged Si Mo tightly, comforting him, "Don't be afraid, little Mo Mo is safe now."
Jun Yan subdued the thug in a few moves. He straddled the thug and held his wrists firmly with both hands, rendering him unable to move.
Soon after, the police arrived, following the sound, and quickly handcuffed the assailant.
Si Tang and Ji Bai arrived shortly afterward. Upon seeing Si Mo safe and sound, the whole family burst into tears.
"Mom."
"Don't be afraid, baby, Mommy's here."
With trembling hands, Si Tang took Si Mo from Lu Rou's arms and choked out, "Thank you, thank you so much."
Ji Bai walked up to the thug, his eyes icy: "Who ordered you to do this?"
The thug said nervously, "I don't know. We communicated online. I just provided the child to them, and they transferred money to me."
Lu Rou stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Bai: "What he said is indeed the truth."
A phone rang, and Junyan took out Lu Rou's phone and handed it to her.
Lu Rou took the phone and had just put it to her ear when she heard Luo Chuan's voice coming from inside.
"Miss Lu, are you in Kyoto now?"
Lu Rou frowned slightly and replied, "I'm not in Kyoto right now, but I'll be back tomorrow. Is there something urgent that you need to see me about?"
Luo Chuan on the other end of the phone explained, "It's like this, Xing Qian's matter is related to a Black Snake organization, and what's worse, there have been many cases of missing children in various places recently. After investigation, these cases all seem to be related to that Black Snake organization."
The Black Serpent Organization? Missing Children?
Things are not simple.
After hearing this, Lu Rou felt a pang of anxiety: "I have other things to attend to here. Let's have a detailed conversation after I return to Kyoto."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Rou put her phone back in her bag.
Seeing this, Jun Yan asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lu Rou shook her head and replied, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics yet, but it seems like it's no small matter."
On the way home, Si Mo clung tightly to Si Tang's neck, burying his head in her arms, his body trembling from time to time, clearly still shaken.
Si Tang gently stroked his back, saying comforting words, but there was still lingering fear in her eyes.
Perhaps exhausted from crying, Si Mo fell asleep.
Lu Rou took out a calming talisman and a peace talisman from her bag and gave them to Si Tang: "Put this under his pillow when he sleeps and he won't have nightmares. Keep this with you at all times; it can save his life in a critical moment."
Si Tang said gratefully, "Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Si Mo was her life; he was the one who supported her during those years.
Remembering Luo Chuan's words, Lu Rou cautioned, "The recent spate of missing children is no coincidence; please be extra careful."
Si Tang hugged Si Mo tighter: "Okay, I will."
……
In the cafe.
Jian Ci was speechless: "What? Sis, that's really unfair of you!"
A woman's voice came through the phone: "Young lady, there's nothing I can do. After all, the other party is offering more than you, so we won't be renewing your lease."
"Sister, I can pay more too."
After all this, where is she going to find a place to live?
If I don't work, I don't have to pay rent; if I do work, I don't have time to look for a place!
She's off today, but all these terrible things are happening at once. Is it because they think she's too idle?
"Sorry, I've already signed a contract. Remember to move out before the contract expires."
"No, sis, you, hey hey."
Jian Ci reluctantly put down her phone.
Jing Yue listened to the gist of the story, then looked at her and said, "Jian Ci, now that we're married, why don't you move in with me?"
Jian Ci was so startled that she knocked over the water next to her. She apologized, "I'm so sorry."
Jing Yue pulled out a tissue and gave it to her: "Is there a problem?"
Jian Ci asked timidly, "Isn't it too fast?"
Jing Yue took a sip of coffee and asked nonchalantly, "You slept together and got married in a flash, wasn't that fast enough?"
Jian Ci gave an awkward smile and muttered under her breath, "How can these be the same?"
Jing Yue: "What did you say?"
Since she had nowhere else to go and wasn't losing out, she smiled broadly and said, "Okay, thank you so much."
"Let's go now."
"Ah good."
……
When Jian Ci arrived at Jingyue's apartment in the upscale neighborhood, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The exquisite high-rise buildings, lush greenery, and comprehensive security facilities are like two different worlds from her previous residence.
Stepping into the room, the spacious and bright living room features expensive marble floors, leather sofas exuding a luxurious atmosphere, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic city views.
Jian Ci stood awkwardly in the center of the living room, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.
Jingyue seemed to sense her unease: "Don't be nervous, this will be your home from now on."
"Then where will I stay?" Jian Ci looked at Jing Yue with her big, watery eyes full of doubt.
Jing Yue raised his hand, his slender fingers gently pointing towards his bedroom.
"That."
After receiving the instructions, Jian Ci nodded obediently and responded softly.
"Okay, I'll get ready then." With that, he strode towards the room.
The moment she reached out and pushed open the door, she froze.
Everything before them clearly indicated that the owner of this room was Jing Yue.
From the simple yet stylish interior design to the neatly arranged documents and books on the desk, every detail exudes a strong masculine aura.
Jing Yue followed and stood beside Jian Ci. He naturally reached out and took the luggage from Jian Ci's hands.
"What, do you have any doubts?"
Jian Ci snapped out of her daze and pointed somewhat embarrassedly at the furnishings in the room.
"Isn't this your room?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yue raised an eyebrow and stared intently at Jian Ci's slightly flushed cheeks.
"Jian Ci, do I need to remind you? We're already married. What's wrong with sleeping together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ci felt her ears instantly become burning hot.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet Jing Yue's gaze, but still stammered in response.
"No... no problem."
After saying that, as if to cover up her embarrassment, she quickly squatted down and began to organize the items she had brought.
She placed the photos on her bedside table and put the green plants that had been with her for many years on the balcony, trying to make the unfamiliar environment feel more familiar.
