Chapter 181 As Expected, Trouble Arises
No.
Xie Xiao knew that even if they moved dorms, they would still be classmates and couldn't avoid contact.
He felt somewhat helpless, Yan Lina's behavior was too conspicuous.
But the problem was that they had no evidence, and they couldn't pinpoint exactly what she wanted to do.
Actually, Xie Xiao's first thought was whether they were trying to rope people into pyramid schemes or human trafficking.
But it didn't seem definite; that would be too overt.
At this point, they didn't know that in just over a week, something really would happen.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It happened to be a Saturday.
Usually, Xie Xiao spent Saturdays at home with Luo Yanran.
But this Saturday, he went with Qi Yan to see the new office they had rented.
It wasn't big, but it was in a good location.

Well, Qi Yan and his dad had rented it.
The way he saw it was, "Isn't it foolish to not use family resources and instead try to prove you're capable by starting a business independently? Isn't that stupid?"
Xie Xiao agreed with him.
As far as Xie Xiao was concerned, relying on family wasn't something shameful.
Clearly, in this respect, Qi Yan's ideas matched his own; maximizing benefits is what qualifies a decent businessman.
"This decoration will probably be finished in a month, and during this time we're mostly looking for suitable bloggers, right? The office won't be needed temporarily anyway, and now it's December. You'll need to go home for the New Year soon. By the time the holidays are over, our company should be on the right track..."
Qi Yan, still a teenager of eighteen or nineteen, was quite happy about starting his own company, "Shall we call your sister-in-law out for a meal later?"
"Okay..." Xie Xiao hadn't finished speaking when his phone rang.
It was from Luo Yanran, and Xie Xiao answered, "What's up? Miss me?"
"...Xie Xiao, can you come to the hospital?" Luo Yanran's voice was somewhat helpless.
Xie Xiao instantly tightened his grip on the phone, his heart racing as he strode towards the elevator, "Which hospital are you at?"
Qi Yan paused for a moment, then followed upon hearing it was the hospital.
Once Xie Xiao got the location of the hospital, Qi Yan had already called a taxi.
Xie Xiao hurried downstairs, his voice forcefully soothing, "What happened?"
In fact, the moment Luo Yanran mentioned the hospital, he was already panicking.
Fearing that something had happened to her.
Luo Yanran sighed as she looked at Wang Wan, who was still shaken on the hospital bed, "Don't worry, I'm fine, just some minor scrapes..."
What happened today was really an accident.
Xie Xiao had left the house this morning.
Luo Yanran had lingered in bed a while longer before getting up.
After breakfast, Luo Yanran tidied up the house.
Then she noticed they were out of trash bags.
Considering she felt a bit full from breakfast anyway.
She decided to go to the supermarket across the street.
The supermarket inside the community is known for its steep prices compared to others.
So, people usually prefer to shop across the street unless it's urgent.
Today was Saturday, and it was busier than she expected.
After shopping, Luo Yanran suddenly craved a "donkey roll" sold behind the supermarket by an old lady, a cheap and delicious old store.
So Luo Yanran went there.
Little did she expect to witness the scene of Wang Wan being dragged into a car.
The car was parked by the roadside.
The quiet boy we had dinner with before, his name was Liu Cun, right?
Anyway, he seems to be Liu Hao's cousin.
He was holding Wang Wan's hand, trying to get her into the car while saying, "Can you stop being mad, please? You get mad all the time."
It looked like the others standing around were probably neighbors.
They were pointing and talking, but no one stepped forward.
Wang Wan was clearly frightened, "What are you talking about? Let go!"
Luo Yanran immediately felt something was wrong. Wang Wan was clearly struggling, and Liu Cun had a fierce look in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my classmate?" Luo Yanran said as she took out her phone, but she also dared not get too close, "I'm calling the police now!"
An auntie stopped her and said, "Hey, girl, don't meddle in other people's business. They are a young couple, living right here. We used to see them coming and going together every day. She's probably just throwing a tantrum..."
Liu Cun probably hadn't expected to see Luo Yanran here and was dragging Wang Wan to the car.
Wang Wan was already in tears by then, "Luo Yanran, save me! He's not my boyfriend!!"
Luo Yanran had already dialed the phone, and seeing Wang Wan about to be dragged away, she became anxious, "Uncles and aunties, my friend is crying for help, he is not her boyfriend!"
The man in the driver's seat was about to get out of the car but saw that a few guys had noticed something was wrong and were coming over.
He suddenly shouted, "Get in the car."
Liu Cun got into the car but was still holding onto Wang Wan, trying to pull her in as well.
Wang Wan was struggling desperately.
Luo Yanran didn't have time to think, she went up trying to pull her off.
A few onlookers, who were older men, also stepped forward to pull them apart, "Hey, what's going on here? Dragging her like this could kill someone..."
In the end, probably because there were many people, Liu Cun got scared and let go.
"It was so chaotic at that time, I don't even know how I got scratched..." Luo Yanran said, "Now we are at the hospital, and the police are here, so don't worry."
How could they not worry?
Xie Xiao and Qi Yan turned pale when they arrived at the hospital.
Wang Wan was giving her statement at that time.
Luo Yanran was sitting outside on the bench, with a police officer beside her.
When she saw Xie Xiao, her eyes were red with fear.
With so many people there, yet no one stepped forward to rescue Wang Wan.
Luo Yanran thought about that scene, if it hadn't been for her, Wang Wan might have been taken away.
The doctor had just mentioned that there were traces of medication on Wang Wan's body.
No wonder she seemed weak during her struggle, probably the neighbors really thought it was just a lovers' quarrel...
Thinking about that scene, Luo Yanran got goosebumps all over.
Xie Xiao went over and hugged her, his heart beating furiously.
The police officer who was initially going to stop him smiled at the sight, realizing they were indeed a couple.
Interestingly, the police officer watching over Luo Yanran happened to be the same officer from the last round of inspections.
This made Xie Xiao even more certain that the last inspection wasn't a prostitution sweep.
"It's okay now..." Xie Xiao felt the girl in his arms trembling violently, "It's okay now..."
Even though he said that, his own voice was trembling too.
But he hadn't realized it yet.
Qi Yan let out a breath, "It's really okay now, the police uncle is still here."
The police officer also smiled and said, "It's okay now, but it was indeed dangerous this time. Fortunately, this student reacted quickly."
Xie Xiao looked at the police officer, "Did you catch those guys? Also, a girl from our school has been very close with those guys..."
The police officer nodded, "This female student already mentioned it. We have colleagues on their way to your school. Don't worry, we are on it."
