Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 699 World 234

Ke Xue thought about it in the direction she mentioned and realized it was somewhat similar, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I don't usually laugh that easily..."

Shen Ruyin interrupted him: "Unless you can't help it, right?"

Ke Xueqing cleared his throat and admitted it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the eldest brother said, "It seems that we have no choice but to trouble you, Shen, to make the trip yourself. We will send a car to pick you up tomorrow night. If your family is worried, they can come along too."

"The reason..." The leader glanced at Ke Xue standing next to him, "Let's just say that Ke Xue needs your help for his live stream."

Ke Xuehui agreed: "That works too. I was just planning to shoot another set of more formal firefly short films and release them. Such beautiful scenery is rare."

This reason would be quite plausible from the perspective of Shen's father and mother.

Shen Ruyin hung up the phone and went to knock on her parents' bedroom door to tell them about it.

Shen's mother immediately said, "Anyway, filming doesn't start until tonight, so your father and I will go with you."

Shen Ruyin didn't really want them to come along.

If the Zhao family wasn't on the mountain, and there were only those few vengeful ghosts, Shen Ruyin wouldn't be so worried.

She had a plausible reason on the surface, and with the protection of the Special Affairs Bureau, as long as her parents stayed in a safe place, nothing would happen. She just treated it as a trip to Montenegro to cool off for one night.

But with the Zhao family still around in Heishan, and given the uncertainty surrounding their sudden change in attitude towards Zhao Manrou, Shen Ruyin couldn't rest easy.

Normal people have a basic level of wariness towards strangers, but their wariness towards acquaintances is much lower.

Moreover, since acquaintances know you better, Shen Ruyin couldn't say for sure that she wouldn't fall into a trap if she met them.

"It's just one night, and I'm going to work. I can come back early the day after tomorrow. If you come with me, Dad will have to get up early and drive along the mountain road to work, which is too dangerous."

“It’s just getting up an hour or two earlier. I’ll rest during my lunch break,” Shen’s father said. “How can your mother and I feel at ease knowing that you’re a young woman going to Heishan alone?”

Seeing that Shen Ruyin was about to persuade him again, her father seemed to know what she was going to say and interrupted her.

"Although your mother and I know Xiao Ke, we've only met him twice, so we're not very familiar with him and don't know much about his character."

"Even if he's your boss, we still need to be cautious, don't you think, Yinyin?"

Shen Ruyin knew that she couldn't persuade her parents anymore.

Just as she worried about her parents and didn't want them to accompany her to the Black Mountain, her parents would also worry about her.

Shen Ruyin had no choice but to go back and bother Ke Xue again, telling him that her parents would be going.

Ke Xue replied with an OK, and a little while later said that his accommodation had been arranged.

Shen Ruyin inquired a bit and only felt somewhat relieved after learning that the accommodation was not the guesthouse she stayed at last time, but a hotel quite far away.

After all, the photos released by the Zhao family show that they live there.

Based on Shen Ruyin's experience, that place was definitely the eye of the storm, so of course the farther away you were, the better.

Because Shen's father also went along, Shen Ruyin didn't need her eldest brother's car to pick her up. Instead, she took her father's car to Heishan after he got off work.

Mr. Shen drove his car into the hotel parking lot and immediately noticed several military green cars parked nearby. His eyes lit up.

If the timing and location hadn't been so unsuitable, Mr. Shen could have circled the cars several times, admiring them closely.

As they walked out of the parking lot, Mr. Shen was still praising, "Those cars are really cool."

Having received Shen Ruyin's message in advance, Ke Xue came out of the hotel and warmly led them to check in.

“Uncle and Aunt, your room number is next to Yinyin's. You can go back and rest first. We won’t be filming for long. I will personally take Yinyin back later.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen asked, "Can't we go and take a look?"

Ke Xue scratched his head and said in a low voice, "If it were any other kind of filming, you uncles and aunts could go if you wanted, but this one is really not suitable."

Ke Xue pointed to the other side of the hall, where a few leaders, dressed in uniforms and sitting upright, said: "They are the main figures this time."

Mr. Shen looked in the direction he was pointing, and was pondering without saying anything when Mrs. Shen recognized someone first.

“Isn’t that Officer Li?” Shen’s mother tugged at Shen’s father’s hand to show him. “Officer Li is the one who saved Qian Yaomei last time.”

“That’s across the street. If she had reacted any slower, something terrible would have happened.”

Since entering, Shen Ruyin, who hadn't spoken a word, had a flicker in her eyes, silently giving a thumbs-up to her boss and the others for their thoroughness in handling things.

Putting everything else aside, Officer Li has an excellent reputation in the several neighborhoods in that area.

With her there, Mr. and Mrs. Shen can definitely stay in the hotel with peace of mind.

As Shen Ruyin had expected, her parents did not ask to go out with her again. However, their condition was that they greeted Officer Li and confirmed that they had not mistaken him for someone else before taking their room cards and going upstairs to rest.

After they left, Shen Ruyin stood between Ke Xue and Officer Li, her eyes constantly glancing at the boss.

It wasn't that she couldn't resist; it was just that the boss's outfit really accentuated his figure.

The inverted triangle body shape that I had only ever seen on TV before was now a reality.

The key is that you can tell from the muscles on the big brother's arms that are exposed outside his short sleeves that he got them through pure exercise, not by taking drugs or injections.

The lines and the sense of power are absolutely stunning.

The admiration in her eyes was so obvious, and there was no malice or ulterior motive.

The eldest brother felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, but he didn't say anything. He simply said, "Let's go to the reserved location first."

The three of them—the eldest brother, Brother Zhou, and Ke Xue—along with Officer Li and Shen Ruyin, filled the car.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the guesthouse where the Shen family had stayed.

Just as Shen Ruyin was about to open the car door, Officer Li stopped her.

"Shen, wait a moment. We'll get off the bus when the boss says it's okay."

As he spoke, Officer Li tore off a mask and put it on her, and also put a hat on her head.

This way, her face was almost completely covered.

Shen Ruyin knew they were doing this to protect her, an "ordinary person," so she obediently listened and didn't ask any more questions.

Only after the leaders gestured that it was safe to get out of the car did Officer Li help roll down the car window on Shen Ruyin's side.

"Let's try it in the car."

Shen Ruyin thought she was going to get out of the car and go into the guesthouse, like she had stayed in the room yesterday. Now that her boss and the others were being so thorough, Shen Ruyin seemed a bit reckless.

Shen Ruyin leaned against the car window, but she didn't really have much of an idea or confidence about how to find the firefly.

But as soon as she reached out her hand, a firefly flew up from the grass and landed gently on Shen Ruyin's fingertip.

Ke Xue's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "A human-shaped firefly trap?"

Shen Ruyin hesitated and said, "Do you want to take a look? Is it the one you're looking for?"
