On the other side, Du Cheng looked at the two addresses that appeared on his phone, especially one that was actually his old home, combined with Yun Ran's 'advice' just now.
In a flash, his gaze turned icy. How could someone with no notable background, yet able to sit in the position of an elite school principal for so long, be a simpleton?
His wife was a very good person, how could she suffer from severe depression just because she gave birth to a daughter, and even take her own life with medication while he was away at a meeting in Lin City? Why did his mother hastily move away...
The principal's eyes suddenly became moist, and once certain doubts were pierced, all those scenes that felt discordant to him and all the inconsistencies seemed to have found their answers.
After sitting in a daze for an hour, the principal fiercely rubbed his face, and then resolutely made a call to the police.
At the same time, he requested annual leave from the school board and rushed with over a dozen bodyguards to the two locations Yun Ran had given to him.
By the time he actually followed the police to find the two boys who looked similar to his wife, the principal finally couldn't hold back his tears and bawled.
As for what the scene looked like due to fighting over the children, he totally didn't care, only tightly grasping his two sons who looked uneducated, like little hooligans.
At this moment, heartache, shattering, despair, rage... all came rushing at him fiercely, and his body couldn't withstand it, and he fainted on the spot.
At this time, Yun Ran and his group were following the large tour group to the next scenic spot, General Mountain.
Little Fatty looked at the height of General Mountain and his legs were already shaking. Just upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, he sat down.
He waved his hands frantically: "I can't go on, I can't move; I'm not climbing this mountain, I'd rather die than climb it!"
People nearby who looked for business came over when they smelt an opportunity.
"We have sedan chairs here, little brother, would you like to sit? For only 350, we can carry you directly to the middle of the mountain."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Little Fatty immediately felt revived; only 350, so cheap, of course he would take it.
The leaders of the group, the teachers next to him, all turned a blind eye as if they saw nothing—since it wasn't their money, it didn't break the rule of budget traveling.
Hearing this, other people immediately rushed over too; they certainly didn't want to experience the hardship of climbing.
The sedan chair team never thought that one day, their business would be this good. Even the ones resting were called over, but it still wasn't enough.
A group of young boys and girls nearly started fighting.
"How can you, a guy, have the nerve to fight with girls over this!"
"Heh, equality between men and women works for you when it's to your advantage, but men should give way to women when it's not, why should we!"
"You... you're infuriating!!!"
...
Watching everyone fight over the sedan chairs, Yun Ran threw in a sardonic comment: "Then let the highest bidder win, what's there to argue about!"
The scene fell silent for three seconds.
"I'm tipping 500!"
"Heh, you think you're the only one with money? I'll pay 1000!"
"1500."
"2000."
...
Yun Ran, the instigator of this chaotic scene, was nowhere to be seen.
Ginsengfruit thought his Host was a bit unscrupulous: [To set a fire and then run away; Host, aren't you the slightest bit worried about being stuffed into a sack?]
"Such weaklings, thinking about stuffing me into a sack, keep dreaming!"
Waiting for the teachers to pacify these little ancestors, Yun Ran was already almost halfway up the mountain and saw the three big characters for the ticket hall from afar.
The main group was left behind, and Yun Ran was not in a hurry, leisurely enjoying the scenery.
Just as she stopped to unscrew her bottle of mineral water to take a drink, she was confronted by a man who looked decent enough, but abruptly put a knife to her throat.
Yun Ran: ...
"Back off, move any closer and I'll kill her!"
She knew it, with both the male and female leads dissatisfied with her, there was no way it would end with just a bird pooping on her.
Not to mention, she had retaliated, and now it was time for the plot's retribution to finally arrive.
Alas, she must admit that she was imprecise, or else she wouldn't have delivered herself into someone else's hands.
The undercover agents, initially pretending to be passersby and slowly approaching the man, wanted to capture him, but when they saw how swiftly he reacted, immediately taking a tourist as a hostage, they could no longer pretend.
They revealed their identities directly: "Zheng Qiang, let go of that young lady!"
Just as Yun Ran planned to save herself and teach this man a lesson, she sensed a faint mark of death on him.
Suddenly, she stopped any movement and timely showed a frightened expression on her face, pretending to be just an ordinary innocent girl being seized.
Zheng Qiang saw the seven or eight undercover agents surround him and sneered, increasing his grip and pulling Yun Ran towards a side path to retreat.
The arm held behind her sent waves of pain, and Yun Ran slightly furrowed her brows.
The undercover agents followed closely but kept their distance: "Don't harm the innocent, Zheng Qiang, you're surrounded, you won't get away!"
"To let her go, dream on! Even if I die today, I'll take someone with me!"
The lead undercover agent thought the young lady hadn't spoken because she was scared out of her wits.
Especially seeing that she was wearing a vest with a school logo for a charity event, he knew she was a student.
"I'll be your hostage!"
"You think I'm stupid! With this little girl in my hands, you'll all be wary. If I swapped for you, you'd probably prefer to die along with me!"
Nobody noticed that a Little Paperman slowly climbed onto the back of the man holding Yun Ran.
After finding the mark of death on him, the Little Paperman erased the mark, then wound up its round fists and punched Zheng Qiang hard.
The punch of the Little Paperman was once strong enough to shatter glass underwater and even lift a car sunk in water; its strength being small was out of the question.
"Ah..."
A scream arose, and Yun Ran seized the opportunity to twist free from the man's restraining grip.
Although the undercover agents didn't know what had happened, they rushed over immediately.
Some hurriedly protected Yun Ran, while others charged over and pinned Zheng Qiang firmly to the ground.
"Young lady, are you okay?"
"My legs feel weak..."
Ginsengfruit watched Yun Ran put on this act and immediately felt unbearable to watch; it refused to admit that it, with a lifetime of prestige, would be bound to such a Host.
[A hundred others like him wouldn't be a match for you!]
"This is called avoiding risk!"
The Little Paperman, after landing a heavy blow on Zheng Qiang, kept a low profile, sticking its body tightly to a nearby tree, out of sight.
Zheng Qiang continued screaming, but unfortunately, no one cared about his human rights at the moment.
They were lucky to be on a side path now, otherwise, given the current situation, it would certainly cause some unnecessary trouble.
