Chapter 90

On the six-lane provincial road, a red shadow flashed by, the heavy engine sound piercing the silent night. Chen Shuyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, tightly gripped the armrests. The fierce evening wind made her unable to open her eyes. The red Ferrari drew a beautiful curve, gradually slowing down, and finally came to a complete stop in front of a small forest at the boundary between the urban and suburban areas!

The centrifugal force from the high-speed driving made Chen Shuyuan's stomach churn. When the car finally stopped steadily in front of the forest, she could no longer hold back and suddenly vomited. Xiao Sheng, who had been sitting beside her, gently patted her back and asked calmly:

"Are you sober now?" Chen Shuyuan, who had almost vomited all her bile, lay back on the seat, took the mineral water Xiao Sheng handed her, rinsed her mouth, and weakly replied:

"I think a normal person's life is not like this." With a somewhat resentful look, Chen Shuyuan stared at Xiao Sheng beside her!

"Indeed, a normal person's life is not like this, but a normal man would take good care of his woman when she is suffering. Darling, a normal person's life is just beginning." As he spoke, Xiao Sheng gently raised his arm and slowly placed it on Chen Shuyuan's shoulder. At that moment, Chen Shuyuan's body trembled slightly, her eyes fixed on the man in front of her, but she did not refuse.

When her wind-tousled black hair fell on Xiao Sheng's chest and her face rested on his shoulder, in the quiet little forest, she could only hear the rustling of the leaves and the steady but pulsating heartbeat of Xiao Sheng!

The hand that circled her shoulder gently massaged the acupoint between her thumb and index finger. Xiao Sheng's skilled technique gradually calmed her, until she no longer felt nauseous.

This was the first time Chen Shuyuan had lain in a man's arms, feeling warm and full! In the quiet and lonely little forest, the two sat in the car, silently looking ahead, neither speaking, afraid to break the brief moment of warmth!

At that moment, Chen Shuyuan finally understood Xiao Sheng's intention. An ordinary life is mundane, but it can be moved by a small moment of emotion! There is no romance, no passion, and even no excitement. One lives by faith! When love is confined to the tomb of marriage, with the passage of time, only kinship remains! This is the life of a normal person, perhaps without any waves for a lifetime.

Some say, when you sober up, the dream shatters! As Chen Shuyuan gradually understood Xiao Sheng's intention and became clearer about her position, the brief dream shattered completely! When Chen Shuyuan got up, Xiao Sheng did not stop her. He withdrew his right hand and stared at her, without any passion, looking at the woman whose eyes had regained their usual confidence.

"Let's go back, I'm a bit tired." The madness of the race and the calm of the embrace made Chen Shuyuan experience two extremes. Everyone has their own life path, and once formed, it is hard to cross into another world. Perhaps with the passage of time and the maturity of the heart, changes will gradually occur, but it is not something that can be accomplished overnight! A wild chicken will always be a wild chicken, even if it flies to the treetop and becomes a phoenix, the wild chicken nature in its bones cannot be eliminated in a short time, and vice versa!

Xiao Sheng's painstaking efforts awakened the dream-chasing Chen Shuyuan and gradually made her understand more. On the way back, the two did not speak, the car moving slowly, allowing Chen Shuyuan to truly feel the gentle evening breeze!

When she returned, Chen Shuyuan was no longer sad or restless. She quietly got out of the car and did not go directly into the living room. Instead, she slowly turned to look at the man across the car, pursed her lips, and said:

"Thank you, thank you for your painstaking efforts tonight. I will remember tonight, but just remember it." After saying this, Chen Shuyuan resolutely walked towards the living room. Before she could savor the meaning of Chen Shuyuan's words, Wu Ma rushed out, anxiously telling her:

"Tong Tong is missing. Director Tong just called to ask if Tong Tong has come back. Your phone is still in the car, so he called home."

Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan's face changed, and she hurriedly ran upstairs to get her phone, immediately calling her younger uncle.

Xiao Sheng, standing at the door, comforted the equally anxious Wu Ma. No matter how domineering and strong Li Yowan was, Tong Tong was indeed a likable girl, kind and simple, though she had picked up some bad habits of the rich, her heart was not bad!

Chen Shuyuan, still in slippers, 'pattered' out, her face anxious, and said to Xiao Sheng:

"My younger uncle and aunt are at the police station. Tong Tong sneaked out during dinner. This..."

"Don't worry, let's go and check. Tong Tong has many friends in Hongcheng, she might have gone to one of them." After saying this, Xiao Sheng jumped back into the Ferrari and drove Chen Shuyuan to the police station!

Wu Ma, standing at the door, said with a sob after the red Ferrari left the Chen residence:

"What is going on..."

...

When Xiao Sheng and Chen Shuyuan arrived at the police station, they had not even entered when they heard Li Yowan's sharp and aggressive voice.

"Why won't you accept the case? Don't you know my daughter is in danger?"

"Sorry, ma'am, according to the law, a person must be missing for twenty-four hours to be classified as missing. Please go back and look for her, she might be at a friend's house."

"You..." Just as Li Yowan was about to continue, Xiao Sheng, who had already reached the front desk, angrily rebuked her:

"Enough, Miss Li, haven't you had enough of your performance today? Why did Tong Tong run away? Why doesn't she want to return to Huai City? Have you thought about this? Your domineering, strong, and unreasonable attitude is unbearable to anyone. Don't glare at me, I don't take the Li family of Huai City seriously." After saying this, Xiao Sheng ignored the stunned Li Yowan and went to the front desk, explaining something. Seeing the Hongcheng celebrity Chen Shuyuan closely following Xiao Sheng, the veteran police officer immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and called his superior.

At this moment, the phone in Xiao Sheng's pocket suddenly rang. Looking at the number, it was Wang Li? This was a good time to ask her for help, so he quickly answered the call. Before he could speak, he heard Wang Li's anxious voice.

"What? Kidnapped? Say that again... Damn, where, where are they now..." Xiao Sheng's near roar startled Chen Shuyuan and Li Yowan, who were standing nearby! They sensed a hint of unease!

"Alright, I'm on my way, don't make any rash moves." After hanging up, Xiao Sheng did not say much, directly telling the others:

"Tong Tong has been kidnapped, at a 24-hour supermarket on North Street in the city." When Xiao Sheng said this, Li Yowan, who had been standing there, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
