When the door opened, Yu Chengcheng walked out of the elevator dragging his weak legs.
A heart beats like a drum.
She was holding on to the wall, with cold sweat pouring down her forehead, dizziness and ringing in her ears, and an unspeakable sense of guilt came over her.
She just pushed Yu Ruanruan away! She left Ruanruan in the corridor on the 32nd floor!
And that scary man came to seek revenge on Ruanruan.
Ruanruan may die.
The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Yu Chengcheng subconsciously covered his ears and squatted on the ground.
It's not her fault.
It's Yu Ruanruan who is to blame!
If she hadn't been showing off, meddling in other people's business, and offending the human trafficking gang, she wouldn't have been targeted at all.
Besides, if he hadn't pushed her away just now, he might also have been targeted by the trafficker.
She was just out of self-protection, she did nothing wrong!
But if she thinks so, will her elder brother and Huo Xu think so?
If Ruanruan escapes from the trafficker and files a complaint with her elder brother and Huo Xu, what should she do?
"Cheng Cheng!"
At this moment, Teacher Yang came over with a serious and nervous frown, "Why are you here just now? The competition is about to start."
As she said that, she turned around and looked around, "Where is Yu Ruanruan?"
Cheng Cheng swallowed, his face became paler, and he pursed his lips, feeling that his throat was too dry to utter a single word.
Teacher Yang saw that the child was a little out of sorts and thought she was nervous because she was about to give a speech on stage.
"Forget it, go ahead and get ready. I'll go find her myself."
"teacher!"
Yu Chengcheng suddenly grabbed Teacher Yang's wrist and blushed, "I...I lost my admission ticket."
"What did you say? How could such an important thing be lost?"
Yu Chengcheng is Teacher Yang's most valued student. She also has high hopes for Cheng Cheng in this English speech contest. If she misses the contest due to a simple mistake such as losing her admission ticket, it will be a huge loss.
"What are you waiting for? Come with me and get a replacement."
Teacher Yang gave up looking for Yu Ruanruan and went to apply for a replacement admission ticket for Cheng Cheng.
On the other side of the field, Fu Chuan dialed several numbers for Yu Ruanruan.
He felt a little anxious.
At this time, Yu Chengcheng and Teacher Yang, who had reissued their admission tickets, walked into the crowded competition hall together.
Fu Chuan immediately stepped forward, "Classmate Yu, have you seen Ruan Ruan?"
Yu Chengcheng avoided his eyes, lowered his head nervously, took out the speech script in his hand, and hid in a corner to memorize the manuscript.
Fu Chuan frowned so coldly that he chased after her and said, "Speak! I know you met Ruanruan just now. Su Zihan said you went to see Ruanruan."
"Nonsense! I didn't."
Yu Chengcheng quibbled, "I just went to the rooftop to enjoy the wind for a while."
"Rooftop?"
Fu Chuan turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Teacher Yang, "It will be your turn to speak on stage soon. Prepare for the competition. The rest is not your thing to worry about. I will go find him."
"But……"
"Fu Chuan, do you still want to be recommended to the school this time? Your family background is special. Although you have won prizes in the physics and mathematics Olympiad competitions, if you want to be guaranteed to be recommended, you can't make mistakes in this competition."
Teacher Yang's words made Fu Chuan feel even more stressed.
He was very worried about Ruianruan, afraid that something might happen to Ruianruan, but at the same time, he was also afraid of losing the opportunity to compete.
If he cannot get a walk quota based on this game, he will miss a very important opportunity in his life.
Fu Chuan knew that he was too insignificant.
His shoulders are also too thin to hold up the sky for Ruanruan.
He wants to become stronger.
Therefore, he doesn't want to miss any opportunity to become stronger.
"Teacher Yang, please find Ruanruan."
…
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the speech contest was in full swing.
Teacher Yang, who leads the team at Dihua High School, looks very ugly because several of the top students she leads collectively performed abnormally today.
Su Zihan was not fully prepared and made many mistakes during her speech.
Fu Chuan's performance was also unsatisfactory.
As for Cheng Cheng, I don’t know what went wrong today. After taking the stage, he stood on the stage sweating profusely and was too nervous to say a word. In the end, the whole place was filled with silence and embarrassment.
After the judges unanimously showed the red card, he was driven off the podium in embarrassment.
As for the students of Dihua High School, not long after the speech ended, a man in black clothes in uniform found Teacher Yang and asked about the whereabouts of Yu Ruanruan.
It wasn't until this moment that Teacher Yang realized the seriousness of the matter.
Everyone searched separately and even asked the hotel to bring up surveillance cameras.
But coincidentally, the surveillance system on the 32nd floor happened to be broken.
When Huo Xu rushed to the Sidna Hotel, he saw this scene. The corridor was in a mess, with students whispering to each other.
"Master Huo."
The bodyguard sent by Zhang Mian to protect Yu Ruanruan lowered his head in shame, "Sorry, you told me before that if Miss Yu didn't encounter any difficulties, let me stay aside and not disturb her. I only shot her at noon.
I was just taking a nap, but I didn’t expect that Miss Yu suddenly disappeared.”
Huo Xu frowned, and the look in his phoenix eyes became sharper.
This subordinate neglected his duty as a guard and should have been punished, but now is not the time to hold him accountable. "The last time you saw her, who was she with?"
"At noon, she had lunch with classmate Fu Chuan and then went back to the lounge."
Huo Xu frowned again and looked at the thin boy beside him.
Fu Chuan had a dazed expression on his face. He had searched all over the hotel but could not find any trace of Ruanrou, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
A huge amount of guilt and self-blame came over me.
Did he miss the best opportunity to save Ruanruan?
Just now, he should have given up the game and gone to find something soft...
Fu Chuan found that he always made mistakes in judgment.
When he wanted to risk his future for Ruanruan at all costs, he only brought trouble to Ruanruan.
And when he repeatedly weighed the opportunity and Ruanruan, he chose the opportunity, but put Ruanruan directly into danger.
He is really, too weak...
"When was the last time you saw her?"
The abnormality that flashed across his face could not be hidden from Huo Xu's eyes. Huo Xu looked at him, his eyes became sharper than a blade, "Do you know something?"
"At noon, Su Zihan sneaked into Ruanruan's room and stole her watch. Ruanruan said she wanted to teach Su Zihan a lesson, so she lied to her and pressed the surveillance button in the room..."
Fu Chuan explained everything that happened.
Huo Xu's eyes fell on Su Zihan.
Su Zihan hurriedly pushed Yu Chengcheng, who was silent on the side, "Mr. Huo, I don't know. The last person to see Ruan Ruan was Cheng Cheng, not me! Cheng Cheng said he would help me find Yu Ruan Ruan to plead for mercy."
"Cheng Cheng, tell me! Where did Yu Ruanruan go? Human life is at stake!"
Although Su Zihan didn't like Yu Ruanruan, she didn't want her to die viciously. Those vicious curses in the past were just words.
She is still a student, no matter how vicious her thoughts are, she would not dare to actually kill her classmates.
Yu Chengcheng's face turned pale, and he felt extremely aggrieved when he saw one and two people turning their condemning eyes towards him.
She especially hates Su Zihan.
If it wasn't for Zi Han's plea, she wouldn't have gone through this muddy water at all.
It was not her fault that Ruanruan was taken away by human traffickers, but now, she jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't even wash it off.
Can't admit it!
I absolutely cannot admit it!
If everyone knew that she was adding insult to injury and refused to save her, what would her classmates think of her? What would the teacher think of her? What would Huo Xu think of her?
Yu Chengcheng bit his lip and said with difficulty, "I don't know, I did see Ruanruan, but I was not the last one to see her. After we came down from the rooftop, we parted ways."
Huo Xu stared at Yu Chengcheng's pale face and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
When Cheng Cheng said those words just now, his eyes evaded.
From a psychological point of view, many of her micro-expressions told Huo Xu that she had lied.
At this moment, Zhang Mian hurried over and said, "Master Huo, something big has happened!"
Huo Xu turned around and looked, and his heart sank, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Mian said hurriedly, "I just received news from Bureau Liu that Wang Hu, who was arrested by the Canglang Organization last time, escaped from prison last night."
