- Chapter 6 - City-Wide Search
“Zhang Yuán, contact the City Public Security Bureau to activate city-wide surveillance and find Song Xingzi, the woman I brought back last night, an artist from Huashèng Entertainment. No, start by looking at the surveillance near Shanliúguān and bring her over. Send people to Room 1205, first bed, of the Oncology Department on the twelfth floor of the City People’s Hospital to bring a person named Sòng Xuélín to the Ji Corporation’s private hospital. Also, arrange manpower—bring several people to the two-story building in Alley 48, Chūnyí Street, Nánchéng District, on the outskirts of the Fifth Ring Road, and package up all of Song Xingzi’s belongings, including the photos and posters on the wall; leave nothing out. Finally, prepare a signing contract with the highest level of treatment. Hurry up with your actions!”
Ji Ruyue’s voice was hoarse and her speaking speed was extremely fast, not caring if the person on the other end heard all the details.
Zhang Yuán, who was organizing documents in his office, was startled by his superior’s hoarse voice when he suddenly received the call. Before he could respond, he heard a rapid-fire series of simple and direct instructions. Thanks to his excellent professional quality, his pen flew across the paper, quickly recording all the arrangements and drafting corresponding plans.
“Understood, President. I will attend to it immediately. Miss Song will surely be delivered to you within twenty minutes.” Zhang Yuán held the phone with his shoulder and began issuing commands to the busy special assistants at his desk, one instruction at a time.
“Assistant Lin, take five or six people to the outskirts of the Fifth Ring Road, Nánchéng District…”
“Assistant Fěng, immediately contact the City Public Security Bureau to activate city-wide surveillance, starting with Shanliúguān, to look for Song Xingzi. Search online for her photo…”
“Old Li, you take people to the City People’s Hospital…”
The series of commands was properly assigned to the suitable personnel, and Zhang Yuán immediately began drafting the contract.
The little vixen must have run away in the middle of the night. The President is going crazy, tsk tsk tsk. That little vixen is about to strike it rich! This is much more attention than she ever paid to President Lǐ.
Hanging up the phone, Ji Ruyue walked into the living room and sat barefoot on the sofa, her light-colored pupils staring blankly at the door.
Ji Ruyue was determined to grasp the variable that was Song Xingzi, and Li Yeběi was not idle either. After hanging up the phone, he immediately instructed Táng Wén to pull up the surveillance footage and search for Song Xingzi city-wide.
“That damned woman! I will make her realize the consequences of provoking me! Turn on the surveillance! Dig three feet into the earth if you have to, but drag her out for me!!!!”
Táng Wén, accustomed to this, respectfully agreed: “Yes, President!”
The City Public Security Bureau was rushed by the two major tycoons. They sped up their work with all their might. The staff in the surveillance room helped search the entire city for a certain unknown eighteen-line female star, thinking, What kind of rich family Mary Sue drama is this?
Meanwhile, the heroine of the “rich family Mary Sue drama” in their minds was wrapped in a knee-length down jacket and thick fur-lined hood, walking back step by step.
Yes, after racking her brain, the penniless, powerless, and memoryless Song Xingzi seriously analyzed her current predicament:
First, continue to wander aimlessly on the street until the male protagonist, who was knocked out by a glass vase, wakes up. Then, the male protagonist and the original body’s agent conspire to catch her, punish her in various ways, force her to sign a mistress contract, and subject her to the whole abusive package: heart-gouging, abortion, and acting as a stand-in. Of course, she might also starve to death on the street before they even manage to catch her.
Second, utilize her little squirrel’s super-strong ability to navigate and follow her memory back to Shanliúguān. Cling to the Second Female Lead Ji Ruyue’s thigh, eat a good meal first, and talk about the future later.
The Second Female Lead in the novel, though a bit spoiled and willful, had a fiercely righteous moral code. Especially during her second rise in the later stages, her ultimate deadly moves were solely directed at Li Yeběi. She seemed reliable. Moreover, the character in the novel truly resembled her Fox Sister. She must be a trustworthy human.
Thus, the course of action was very clear. Only a fool would choose the first option. The little squirrel, who did not consider herself a fool, patted her face with her cold paws and decisively turned back toward Shanliúguān.
With a clear goal, Song Xingzi walked quickly, and soon saw the outline of the residential complex. She flashed a bright smile and headed towards the main gate.
“You in front, stop! Halt! I’m talking about you! What are you looking at?” A burly man in a suit roared, directing the people next to him to step forward and surround Song Xingzi.
Song Xingzi retreated, her face tense, while her mind was screaming wildly—No way? Jiji? What are you doing? Is the scumbag’s progress that fast? Did they find me already? Mama Yě, there are so many people! Someone save Sōngzi!!! Sōngzi is too hungry; I can’t beat this many people!
Feeling her hungry, shrunken stomach, Song Xingzi forced a smile. “What are you trying to do? Mass fighting and street robbery are illegal. The principal offenders and other active participants face a fixed-term imprisonment of three years or less. Stop! Don’t come closer! If you move one step closer, none of you will escape going to jail!”
It’s fine, even if I can’t beat them. I got a perfect score on my human permit exam; I’m very familiar with the laws and regulations. I can use legal weapons to protect myself! I’m not afraid!
But this was hardly the real world. The leading burly man looked at Song Xingzi as if she were an idiot, motioning for his companions to narrow the circle to prevent her from leaping away and escaping.
“First, we are not involved in mass fighting. Second, we have no intention of harming Miss Song. Third, President Li has requested your presence. Please cooperate obediently, Miss Song. If you make any commotion, us crude men, who live by the knife’s edge, might accidentally scratch your pretty face, and that would be a shame.”
These were indeed Li Yeběi’s people. Although Ji Ruyue’s order was not given late, Li Yeběi’s subordinates were highly efficient, and they managed to find Song Xingzi first, surpassing the others.
Damn it! I’m your mother! Who do you think you are, little squirrel, to dare threaten me!
Song Xingzi’s fiery temper immediately flared up. She coldly assessed the situation, clenched her fists, and immediately bent down, charging through the arm space of the man on the right, who looked slightly skinnier!
Sōngzi, go, go, go! There are patrol guards inside the complex!
“Hahahaha, Boss, look at her stupid face, hahahaha,” the skinny man twisted his arm back, clamping Song Xingzi’s neck and locking her hands behind her back.
“Hahahaha, alright, Skinny, well done. Hold her tight. Let’s take her to President Li.” The leading big man laughed loudly, leading his people toward the alley outside the complex.
Seeing that physical force was ineffective and a surprise attack was impossible, Song Xingzi recalled the Middle School Student Self-Help Guide she had memorized and screamed at the top of her lungs: “Help! Someone is forcibly abducting a civilian woman! Help! There’s no law anymore! Gang members are committing a crime on the street!”
“Skinny, cover her mouth! Be careful not to hurt her.”
“Got it!” Skinny locked Song Xingzi’s hands with one hand and forcibly stuffed a wad of tissue paper into her mouth with the other.
Song Xingzi struggled. “Wuwuwu, Wuwu.” Someone save me! Fox Sister, Uncle Ox, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have insisted on coming down the mountain! The city world is too dangerous! Wuwuwu! Someone save Sōngzi! Sōngzi doesn’t want her heart cut out!
The men in black were dragging Song Xingzi toward a black car. Just as everything was about to be finalized, in a flash, a car suddenly rushed around the corner. The men in black cursed and scattered.
Zhang Yuán and Bodyguard Li, along with three other burly men, got out of the car. The two sides—five people each—stood facing one another. Zhang Yuán said coldly, “Put Miss Song down. She is the person our Young Miss Ji requires.”
Seeing that someone had come to rescue her, Song Xingzi became so excited she started making sounds: “Wuwuwu, Wuwuwu, Wuwu.” This is great! I knew I wasn’t meant to die! The Second Female Lead actually sent people to save me! She really is a good person!
“Miss Song, please calm down. I will rescue you immediately.” Zhang Yuán comforted her without changing his expression. Catching a glimpse of Song Xingzi’s delicate face, he subconsciously activated his internal monologue.
Oh my god, the little vixen isn’t a little vixen at all! Look at this fragile appearance, tearful like a pear blossom in the rain. She’s a little white flower! I’m glad I made it in time, or the little white flower would have suffered. Falling into President Li’s hands, she would have to listen to countless ‘Heh, woman, you are playing with fire.’
Bodyguard Li was originally sent to the hospital to pick up Song Xingzi’s father, but Sòng Xuélín had already been transferred to Lǐ Tóng Hospital by Táng Wén yesterday. Having arrived at an empty room, he met up with Zhang Yuán, who had finished drafting the contract and learned that Song Xingzi was near Shanliúguān. They brought people over together, arriving just in time to intercept Li Yeběi’s men.
“Impossible. You should have your Young Miss Ji call President Li to discuss it, hahahaha,” the leading big man flatly refused. Who in the Imperial Capital didn’t know that Young Miss Ji was obsessed with Li Yeběi? If the two met, Young Miss Ji would certainly yield! Why should I let go of the person?
“Is that so?” Zhang Yuán smiled. You can stop running your mouth. You really do have to let her go today, because my Young Miss Ji has changed her tune. “Old Li, I appreciate your efforts. Try not to break anything; we don’t want trouble with President Lǐ.”
Bodyguard Li nodded. He and his men charged forward without a word. As a retired special forces soldier, his combat power was extraordinary. Within a dozen moves, the aggressively blocking men in black fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
Zhang Yuán helped Song Xingzi up from the ground and thoughtfully took the wad of tissue paper out of her mouth. “Thank you for your endurance, Miss Song. Please wait here for a moment.”
Alas, a little white flower is just a little white flower. Look how weak she is in combat. Everything still depends on our President.
Seeing the person who possessed a sky-high combat power on his side, Song Xingzi was perfectly docile. “Yeah, yeah, sure.”
The men in black were furious, blustering, “How dare you treat President Li’s men like this! Aren’t you afraid of making Young Miss Ji angry!”
“No, I’m not,” Zhang Yuán said with a smile, dialing the President’s number and turning on the speakerphone. “President, we’ve found Miss Song. We’re in front of Shanliúguān and are heading back immediately. However, President Li’s people were also looking for her. What do you think?”
“Bring her over. Ignore him!” The hoarse female voice came from the phone. Song Xingzi looked up. The men in black were shaking with anger.
“Hmph. Call Assistant Táng and tell him Young Miss Ji snatched the person. Miss Song won’t be coming back.”
Zhang Yuán paid no attention. He led his people into the car and drove smoothly into the apartment. Ji Ruyue was sitting neatly at the square table, still wearing the thin white nightgown and loose gray cotton slippers.
“Please sit down first,” she said in a husky voice.
No sooner had she spoken than “I got this pain so deep inside…” the phone rang. Ji Ruyue, like a controlled puppet, tensed up and answered the phone.
