ully sat down and picked up the menu to start ordering coffee. 。Yet, many women's eyes remained fixed on Cheng Luo, unwilling to look away. 。Ji Xiangru saw this and jokingly said, "Brother Cheng Luo's..."Excuse me, are you really Miss Cheng Ruor"
"Ms. Cheng, what really happened in the kidnapping case all those years ago How did you manage to escape"
"Since Miss Cheng, you're still alive, why haven't you appeared for so many years, leading everyone to believe you've passed away"
"May I ask where you've been these years..."
……
The cacophony of sound seemed to surge towards the heavens, plunging the scene into utter chaos.
Gu Chi had already strode towards Cheng Ruoruo before the reporters swarmed over, now standing with Cheng Luo to protect her from the surrounding crowd.
Looking at Gu Chi pushing away the reporters with all his might while holding Cheng Raoer with concern and worry, Su Kexin lowered her head to look at her own feet, a surge of fear rising in her heart. She bit her lip tightly, restraining herself from trembling.
Seeing Gu Chi and Cheng Luo protecting Cheng Ruoer, they didn't have a chance to interview at all. Those reporters saw Su Kexin on the side, their minds shifted, and they ran towards Su Kexin instead.
"Madam Gu, do you know that Miss Cheng Ruoruo is still alive"
"Madam Gu, why didn't you come with Mr. Gu before"
"Do you know Gu Chi will come to pay respects to Cheng Ruor Does this not mean that your relationship with Mr. Gu is indeed having problems..."
……
More and more reporters flocked to Su Ke Xin's side, asking questions and pushing her towards Gu Chi and the others, wanting to capture a photo of all four of them together. Even if they didn't respond, these photos would be enough to attract attention.
Soon, Su Kexin, Gu Chi, Cheng Luo, and Cheng Ruo'er were surrounded by the crowd.
Seeing the chaos on the scene, several people Cheng Luo brought to help with the arrangements also recovered from the shock that Qiao'er had brought them, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters.
Several people formed a circle, protecting Gu Chi and the other four within it. They slowly moved towards the car. It took them quite a while to finally reach the side of the vehicle.
"Young Master, Miss, you go quickly, leave this to us." After a few people escorted them into the car, they lined up, wanting to stop the reporters rushing towards them.
But after all, one cannot fight against a crowd. The reporters quickly surrounded the car, constantly beating on the windows. The car simply couldn't move.
"Young Master, what do we do now" The driver turned back, looking anxiously at Cheng Luo.
Cheng Luo couldn't think of a way for a moment. He couldn't just rush out, what if he bumped into someone That would only make things worse.
Looking out the car window at the excited faces one after another, Gu Chi's eyes flashed a trace of gloom. He signaled the driver to pull over and took the driver's seat himself.
Seeing fewer people behind his car in the rearview mirror, Gu Chi slammed on the reverse gear and then hit the clutch, sending the car forward with a jolt.
Those reporters hadn't expected the car to drive straight at them, and they all scattered in fright. News was important to them, it affected their future and livelihood, but they couldn't risk their lives either.
Watching the reporters who had just been surrounding his car with a desperate attitude scatter and run, Gu Chi's lips curled up into a sneer. Then, the car quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Cheng family.
Gu Chi, Su Ke Xin, Cheng Luo and Cheng Ruo Er sat in the living room, none of them spoke for a long time.
After Aunt brought over a few cups of tea and placed them before the four people, she also retreated, no longer bothering them.
Cheng Luo wanted to ask Cheng Ruoruo where she had been all these years and why she hadn't come to look for her brother. But after a decade, so many things had happened that he didn't know where to begin.
"Ru'er, what happened that year Why was I gone when I woke up" In the end, it was Gu Chi who spoke first. He had already recovered from his shock and directly asked Cheng Ru'er.
"I..." Perhaps Gu Chi's words had a cold and questioning tone, or perhaps Cheng Ruoer herself didn't know how to explain. After saying a word, Cheng Ruoer lowered her head and stopped talking, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Rao'er, what on earth is going on" Looking at Cheng Rao'er bowing her head in silence, Cheng Luo felt a pang of anxiety. He desperately wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter right now, "Where have you been all these years Why didn't you come back to me"
But Cheng Ru'er didn't answer Cheng Luo's question. Instead, she looked up at Gu Chi, her eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation, "Gu Chi, do you believe me"
"What exactly happened back then" Gu Chi asked in return.
Not hearing Gu Chi's reply, Cheng Ruo'er withdrew her gaze somewhat disappointedly. "Actually, I'm not very clear about what happened ten years ago either. Back then, I had an accident..."
Cheng Ruo'er told the story bit by bit.
Originally, on the day of the warehouse fire ten years ago, a janitor responsible for cleaning the area next to the warehouse happened to be there cleaning. Seeing faint flames in the distance, he immediately ran over to see what was going on.
When he arrived, he realized the warehouse was on fire. His first reaction was to turn around and look for someone to put out the fire.
But, through the flames, he seemed to vaguely see someone in the warehouse.
At that time, the fire wasn't very big yet. The cleaner rushed in to take a look, just in case someone was really inside That would be a human life!
As expected, upon entering, he saw two young men and women tied up with ropes, lying unconscious on the ground.
Without time to think about what was happening, saving lives was the priority. He rushed forward and helped untie the two people, dragging the girl out first.
After securing the girl in a safe place, he rushed back to save the boy.
As soon as he reached the warehouse door, before he could even step inside, the warehouse doors were engulfed in flames and collapsed right before him.
He was startled by the door flung open before him and hastily took a few steps back. Looking at the raging fire in front of him, he struggled with himself for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to risk going in to save the boy. Instead, he first sent the girl to the hospital.
"When I woke up, I found myself in a hospital, but I couldn't remember anything. I didn't know who I was or why I was in the hospital. A nurse told me that a man in his 40s, who worked as a cleaner, brought me to the hospital. That's all I knew from what the cleaner had told me."
After finishing her words, Cheng Ruoruo looked at Gu Chi with earnest eyes, as if afraid he wouldn't believe her.
But Gu Chi stared at the teacup in front of him, his expression unreadable, lost in thought. His gaze did not meet hers.ut reach out to rub Xu Zui Ning's soft hair on top of her head and said in a low voice, "What makes you so happy"Xu Zui'ning was now so excited that she didn't even notice how ambiguous their actions...
