The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

“An’an is in danger,” said Zhao Yuan.

“Uncle Hong Xuan left a message,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“I also want to see uncle Xuan soon. But since he can leave a message to you on microblog, it means that he is very safe. An’an is different. Once the news is released, people of the Mo Family will know that she has contacted us!” said Zhao Yuan.

“He contacts us by microblog, instead of phone, which means he is not safe! An’an has been safe for so many years, how could she have no other way to protect herself now? Her father is Boss Zhang!” said Chen Yuanxi.

“Wenxi, uncle Xuan is strong and powerful, but An’an is just a weak woman!” said Zhao Yuan.

“It will take us an hour to An’an by the high-speed train! I don’t care! I just want to see Uncle Hong Xuan!” Chen Yuanxi turned his back and said, “Besides, will someone deal with An’an just because she met me? It’s far-fetched!”

Chen Yuanxi said as he asked for police assistance from the south of the city. He needed to confirm whether the place Hong Xuan stayed was safe. But the police said that they were short of hands. They had separately sent people to protect Zhang Dong, investigate, arrest, and interrogate Mo Qian, as well as maintain the public security of the south of the city, so it was impossible to allocate people for the time being. And the team leader hoped that Chen Yuanxi could hide himself so that nothing would happen to him.

Chen Yuanxi said nothing and went straight to Hong Xuan’s residence.

Zhao Yuan had to follow Chen Yuanxi without saying a word.

Zhao Yuan said to Chen Yuanxi, “You stay at the phone booth over there. I’ll go and have a look first.” Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi was moved. At the most critical moment, Zhao Yuan only cared about him.

Zhao Yuan went for about a quarter of an hour, and allowed Chen Yuanxi to go there.

Hong Xuan was staying in a small hotel. He was pale and lying on the bed, with his eyes closed tightly. But except for the former scars, there was no new wound on his body.

“Here you are,” Hong Xuan breathed heavily and said, “Where is Boss Zhang?”

“Was he with you?” Chen Yuanxi could not help being curious.

Hong Xuan sighed and thought for a moment, then he suddenly said, “No!” “An’an is in danger now. Go and save her! Everything is there with her.”

“The electronic lock with double passwords?” asked Zhao Yuan.

Hong Xuan nodded weakly and said, “Hurry up, Wenxi. Send all the people you can to save An’an!”

Chen Yuanxi nodded. However, there was no one was available now. Finally, he thought of Zheng Kai.

Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi took actions separately. Chen Yuanxi stayed to take care of Hong Xuan and continued to be in charge of contact. Zhao Yuan recorded the way of unlocking and invited Zheng Kai to go to save Zhang An’an.

BC Company was still in operation, and Zheng Kai was still downstairs at that time, but as a dismissed employee. Wang Xiang had been standing opposite him for half an hour, holding a cup of milk tea. He was thirty centimeters away from Zheng Kai, and kept looking at him. If Wang Xiang had not gone to Chen Wanxin’s office, he would have lost his job just like Zheng Kai.

“Zhang An’an may be in danger, will you go with me?” said Zheng Kai.

Wang Xiang immediately threw the milk tea and began to book tickets.

When the three arrived at Zhang An’an’s residence, the door was open, and their faces darkened when they saw that. The room was in disorder everywhere. The table and chairs fell to the ground, tea set was broken, and even the glass fish tank beside the window was also smashed. Several goldfish had all died.

When they arrived at Zhang An’an’s bedroom, Zheng Kai and Zhao Yuan turned around at the same time, while Wang Xiang could not help but shed tears.

Zhang An’an was lying on the bed, with hair disheveled, and blankly looking at the ceiling. Saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth, her two pale arms were exposed outside, and there were scratches on her face and body. On the bed, there were bloodstains everywhere.

“They’re beasts!” Wang Xiang could not help crying. He took out a sheet and tried to cover Zhang An’an.

“I’m dirty…” Zhang An’an’s voice seemed to be squeezed out of the mouth.

Wang Xiang found another sheet in the closet, wrapped Zhang An’an tightly, and hugged her.

The police car arrived downstairs. Maybe one kind neighbor had heard the abnormal sound and called the police.

The three went to the police station to be questioned, and Zhang An’an was taken to hospital for care.

According to the injury assessment, Zhang An’an had been raped by at least three people.

Zhang An’an only said Mo Qian’s name.

At the same time, Zhao Yuan found that the Sky Lock in Zhang An’an’s computer had been destroyed because the password had been incorrectly input three times. Zhang An’an told Zhao Yuan the role of the Sky Lock when she was still conscious.

The Sky Lock was equipped with two systems, automatically self-locking system and automatic self-destruction system. The system in Zhang An’an’s computer was naturally the automatically self-locking. There was a pulse sensor on Hong Xuan. If Hong Xuan died or the password was incorrectly input three times, the Sky Lock would automatically open the self-locking system. And if the Sky Lock was forcibly restarted, it could destroy itself automatically. The condition of restarting the Sky Lock was the sound and fingerprint of Hong Xuan.

Last night, Zhang An’an watched the Sky Lock restart. Then because of the continuous wrong passwords, the auto-destroy mode was turned on.

“Has all the evidence… gone?” Zhao Yuan asked in a trembling voice.

Zhang An’an nodded wearily. Zhao Yuan wanted to ask, but was stopped by Wang Xiang. “An’an is very tired.”

Zhao Yuan did not think it necessary to ask more. It was almost inevitable that Zhang An’an would be discovered. However, the Mo Family was now unable to protect themselves, and they could directly stun Zhang An’an and restart the Sky Lock. They did not need to insult a girl like that. Maybe there was another story among Zhang An’an, Boss Zhang, and the Mo Family, so that Zhao Yuan could not interfere. Maybe, only when all the people of the Mo Family were brought to justice could the truth be revealed. Zhao Yuan knew fewer about girls than Wang Xiang and Zheng Kai, so he could only ask Zhang An’an to have a good rest. Then he hurried to the small town to take care of the dying Hong Xuan and the a bit strong Chen Yuanxi.

Zheng Kai had accompanied Wang Xiang to guard Zhang An’an for many days, and finally left because he was worried about Chen Wanxin.

Wang Xiang directly asked for leave to accompany Zhang An’an.

In the past few days, Wang Xiang found that Zhang An’an was lonely. Although he knew that Zhang An’an did not want others to know what had happened to her, he still called Shu Xiaoman and her other roommates to accompany her. As soon as Zhou Nannan heard that Zhang An’an was ill, she hurried to come with many specialties from her hometown. Chen Wanxin, because her parents had been transferred to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and had an uncertain future now, was busy saving her parents and managing the company which might collapse soon. Chen Wanxin had suffered a lot recently, but she still visited Zhang An’an with Zheng Kai from time to time and talked with her, after all they had been roommates for four years. Only Shu Xiaoman did not show up. She just made phone calls to arrange everything and sent tonic and traditional Chinese medicine and some other things to Zhang An’an.

Zhao Yuan talked with Chen Yuanxi on the phone all the way back. He learned that everything was normal, except for Hong Xuan who kept sleeping all the time, and occasionally woke up to drink water and continued to sleep.

And Zhao Yuan found it hard to tell Chen Yuanxi what had happened to Zhang An’an.
