I and my bestie dressed up as a rich man's wife and ran away with the ball

Su Ran turned her head in surprise. Sitting next to her was a young man in his thirties. He was wearing glasses and a white coat. His identity was written on the ID card on his chest: Researcher at the Imperial Capital Research Institute.

Now, Su Ran was even more surprised.

Although there has been some communication between Lingzhou and the imperial capital in recent years, most of it was the mutual transmission of objects.

The teleportation of living beings like humans can only be done from the palace with Zhu Yuan's permission.

Moreover, there are high restrictions on the number of transmissions.

Because we had to send Zhu An over there to seek refuge, and also bring Zhu An and Su Ran back, this number had actually exceeded the limit.

She remembered that Zhu Yuan had said before that the transmission channels would not be opened in the next three years.

Su Ran asked doubtfully, "Are you from the imperial capital?"

"Yes." When the young man saw Su Ran, who was also from the imperial capital, in Lingzhou, he felt as excited as if they were fellow villagers meeting each other.

"When did you come here?"

"I just came here yesterday." After answering Su Ran's question, the young man asked Su Ran again, "My daughter used to like you very much. When you died, she cried for a long time at home. Why did you come to Lingzhou?"

"That's a long story." Su Ran said vaguely, "Can people in the Imperial Capital and Lingzhou communicate with each other? Isn't there a limit on the number of people?"

"This." The young man didn't want to reveal such confidential information to Su Ran, but when he saw the royal emblem on Su Ran's wrist, he was shocked. "Are you familiar with the king here? You actually have such an imperial emblem."

Normally, Su Ran would not reveal these things to others, but at this moment, Su Ran told the young man, "I am considered his sister."

"Oh." In this case, Su Ran was no longer outside the scope of confidentiality. The young man pointed to the sign in front of him and said, "The official channel does have a limited number, but over the years, our institute has been researching new channels. I was one of the first to experiment, and there were two other colleagues with me."

"Why are you suddenly communicating so much with Lingzhou?"

"Because after our research, we found that Lingzhou has mineral resources that are very scarce for us, and we also have resources that Lingzhou needs very much. Opening a channel will benefit both sides."

"Is that so? Thank you." Su Ran was a little confused. Before the official channel was closed, she thought that she and Fu Siyu would not have any contact for at least three years.

But now that the new channel is open, will Fu Siyu...

This thought was interrupted halfway through by Su Ran.

Because it was simply impossible. Fu Siyu was so cold to Yuanyuan, let alone her. It was already a broad-minded of him not to retaliate against her. How could he come to find her?

It doesn’t matter if the passage is opened. As long as she doesn’t go to the imperial capital, she won’t meet Fu Siyu.

Thinking of this, Su Ran felt relieved.

At this time, there was a noisy sound coming from the stage, and the award ceremony of the New Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition had begun.

The host read out the names one by one, and many people went on stage to receive their trophies.

It was not until the gold medal was awarded that the host finally read out the name "Zhu An".

The surname Zhu is very special in the entire kingdom, and everyone knows that it is used exclusively by the royal family.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, and when Zhu An's young face appeared, everyone was even more shocked.

"He won the championship at such a young age. He has a good family background and good resources. He has a bright future ahead of him."

"What was his competition? Could he be a relative?"

As everyone was discussing, they listened to the host announcing Zhu An's entry, and then the voice of the person with connections disappeared.

Because the project developed by Zhu An is about preventing child trafficking.

He and his team developed a chip that can be implanted in children's skin and then set up a networked system across the country.

As long as a child appears at a place where a chip connection point is set, the induction will be automatically triggered.

This kind of project is beneficial to the country and the people, and naturally attracts praise from everyone.

Zhu An took the medal from the host, who asked him, "What was your motivation for choosing this project?"

"Because I was almost kidnapped." Zhu An said, and the scene of being kidnapped to the black market emerged in his memory. Even though so many years have passed, the heart-shaking fear still strikes his heart. "I know how scared the kidnapped children are. For their relatives, it is a painful thing for their children to be kidnapped."

"You are so young, but you can have such an idea. You are worthy of being an outstanding representative of our new generation of youth." The host praised you half-officially and half-sincerely. "I hope you can hold on to your dreams and go further in the future."

Under normal circumstances, at this point, the person being awarded the award basically says thank you and the host moves on to the next step.

However, Zhu An did not follow the routine. He held the trophy in one hand and took out a bunch of crabapple flowers from his pocket with the other hand. He asked the host, "Why don't you ask me what my dream is?"
