Chapter 2131: Chapter 2131: The Eighteenth Coming-of-Age Ceremony (13)
The image flashed by and disappeared, Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to take another look, but couldn’t.
"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao?" Aunt Tang was still calling her on the phone.
"Ah, Aunt, I’ll be right there." Ruan Jiaojiao came back to her senses and suspiciously turned off the TV.
She thought she might have been seeing things, as Lu Xian went to Amerika, not this remote and backward border area, so how could Amon be there?
Despite thinking this, when Ruan Jiaojiao left the house to go to school, she still called Duan Xi.
"Xi brother, I was just watching TV, and I saw some news..." Ruan Jiaojiao told Duan Xi about the scene she thought she might have imagined.
Finally, she asked him, "Xi brother, do you think Zhen brother and Amon have the scent of blood on them because of this?" She was still a bit worried: "Xi brother, Zhen brother will be fine, right?"
"He will be fine." Duan Xi replied, not liking Ruan Jiaojiao’s excessive attention to others, and changed the topic: "Should I come pick you up later?"
"Ah, no need, Xiaorou will come over later. Have you had lunch? Should I bring you dinner in the afternoon? I’m going to Aunt Tang’s to eat. When Yu Rou finishes class and comes to pick me up, it’ll be around four. Should I pack something for you from the hotel?"
"Okay." Duan Xi disdainfully pushed aside the food Sha Qian had packed and brought to him.
"Then, Xi brother, wait for me."
"Hmm."
After she hung up, since Duan Xi said it was nothing, Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t think too much about it, but Duan Xi went to check the news she talked about.
But now the internet was just rising, not like in the future where TV news could be synced to the computer. He could only use his connection with Duan Qianyang to inquire about the situation at the TV station where the news belonged.
In the afternoon, before Ruan Jiaojiao came, the video segment of the news was sent to his computer.
Duan Xi watched it carefully and indeed saw Amon’s figure in it. But after watching, he frowned deeply because the scent of death on Lu Xian and Amon didn’t originate from this riot.
Duan Xi looked at Amon’s expressionless face on the computer, thinking about how he was close with Ruan Jiaojiao, his eyes deepening, with his forefinger lightly tapping the table.
Actually, before Ruan Jiaojiao made this call, Duan Xi didn’t intend to interfere with Lu Xian and Amon’s affairs; these kinds of bizarre things were common in this world. Apart from Xin Miao and Feng Nianian, who were connected to Ruan Jiaojiao at the beginning and he had to handle, he really didn’t want to get involved with others.
In his view, as long as there was no harm to Ruan Jiaojiao, he was indifferent.
But now, given Ruan Jiaojiao’s nature, it seemed like not dealing with it wasn’t an option.
Ruan Jiaojiao finished eating at Aunt Tang’s and called a nearby hotel to prepare some packed meals, enough for seven or eight young men, then waited for Yu Rou.
It was already past three in the afternoon, nearing four.
Yu Rou was more than a year older than Ruan Jiaojiao and drove over in the car her family bought for her. She first picked Ruan Jiaojiao up from school, then went to the hotel together to get the meals, watching the hotel staff load big and small meal packages into her trunk. She asked incredulously, "Jiaojiao, is your Xi brother a cow, eating this much?"
Ruan Jiaojiao laughed and explained, "No, it’s also for his employees to eat. Xi brother has just started his business, it’s really hard. Those employees following him also need to eat well, so they have the energy to work."
