Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Ji Yan gently pushed open the bedroom door, her heart beating a little faster. She looked around to make sure no one was peeping outside, then quickly picked up her phone and sent a message to her friend Fang Yuan: "Yuanyuan, how are you doing? Is everything ready?"

Not long after, a crisp ringtone sounded, and Ji Yan quickly opened her phone to check. Fang Yuan's reply appeared on the screen: "Don't worry, everything is ready. Let's meet at the coffee shop downstairs of Fang's company tomorrow."

Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face. She replied "OK" to Fang Yuan, then put down her phone and began to think about how to explain to the five men in the living room that she was going out tomorrow.

She knew that these five men cared about her very much, especially after she had just experienced that unpleasant incident, they stayed close to her. However, Ji Yan also had her own plans, she wanted to meet with Fang Yuan to discuss the next steps.

After thinking for a while, Ji Yan mustered up the courage to walk out of the bedroom. She came to the living room and looked at the five men who had not left the sofa yet, feeling a little uneasy. She took a deep breath and spoke softly: "I have something to discuss with everyone. Tomorrow, Fang Yuan and I have an appointment to go shopping."

When the men heard the news, they immediately frowned. One of them said, "Ji Yan, you just went through something like that. You need to rest well now. It's not suitable for you to go out."

Ji Yan had expected such a reaction from them, so she shook her head firmly: "I know you are worried about me, but this is an agreement between Fang Yuan and I, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. I really want to go."

The men looked at each other, obviously worried about Ji Yan going out alone. At this time, Ji Yan added: "If you are really worried, you can send someone to follow me. But please let me be alone with Fang Yuan for a while, okay?"

The men saw the determination and expectation in Ji Yan's eyes and knew that she really valued this meeting. They hesitated for a moment, and finally one of the men nodded: "Okay, we will send someone to follow you. But you have to pay attention to safety and contact us at any time if there is anything."

Ji Yan was delighted when she heard this answer. She knew that this was the care and love of the five men for her, and also their absolute respect for her. She looked at them gratefully, then smiled and said, "Thank you, I will be careful."

……

In the coffee shop under the Fang Company building, the sun shines through the window onto two beautiful women who sit by the window, enjoying the quiet of the afternoon. One of the women is Ji Yan, and not far behind her stand two men in black. They look indifferent and alert, but they are fulfilling their duty to protect Ji Yan.

"Yanyan, this phone is for you." Fang Yuan took out a brand new phone from her bag and handed it to Ji Yan. "From now on, you will use this phone to contact me. When the day comes for you to leave, you will also use this. But remember, don't let them find out."

Ji Yan took the phone and nodded slightly, with a look of gratitude and determination on her face. She knew that Fang Yuan was providing her with a safe communication tool to help her escape from the dangerous and restrictive environment.

At this moment, Fang Yuan's eyes fell on the bandage marks on Ji Yan's hand. She frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Yan Yan, what happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?"

Ji Yan subconsciously retracted her hand and tried to cover it up with a smile: "Nothing, I just scratched it accidentally."

But Fang Yuan was such a smart person that she could not be easily fooled by Ji Yan's lies. She stared into Ji Yan's eyes and said in a serious tone: "Yan Yan, you know, although I am usually careless, I will not let you go this time. If you don't tell me the truth, I will go find my brother and let him ask you!"

Ji Yan felt nervous when she saw Fang Yuan was serious. She knew that if Fang Yuan really went to find her brother, the consequences would be disastrous. In desperation, she had to tell Fang Yuan everything about the difficulties she had encountered recently.

Listening to Ji Yan's story, Fang Yuan's eyes gradually turned red. She stood up, hugged Ji Yan tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Yan Yan, why are you so stupid? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why do you have to bear this alone?"

Ji Yan gently patted Fang Yuan on the back and comforted her, "Yuan Yuan, don't cry. I'm fine, right? Everything is over."

Fang Yuan raised her head, her eyes flashing with anger: "No! We can't just let this go! Yanyan, let's go! Leave here!"

Ji Yan shook her head. She looked at Fang Yuan with a glimmer of reason in her eyes. "Yuanyuan, we can't be impulsive. Leaving now will only make all our efforts go to waste. We have to wait for the right time."

Fang Yuan gradually calmed down after hearing Ji Yan's words. She knew that Ji Yan was right and that being impulsive now would only make things worse. So she asked, "Then Yanyan, when are you going to leave?"

Ji Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Fu Jingyan will go to the Northwest Military Region in a few days, and the others will have their own things to do by then. That will be a great time for us to leave."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement. She held Ji Yan's hand tightly and said, "Okay! Then we'll make an agreement and contact each other when the time comes. You must be careful and protect yourself."

Afterwards, Fang Yuan planned to send Ji Yan home. But Ji Yan said that she had something to deal with and asked Fang Yuan to leave first. Although Fang Yuan was a little worried, she nodded when she saw Ji Yan's determined eyes, and left the cafe after saying goodbye to Ji Yan.

Ji Yan watched Fang Yuan leave, her heart filled with gratitude.

Ji Yan took a deep breath, stood up, gently pushed the chair back to its original position, and then walked out of the coffee shop. Her steps were brisk and firm, as if there was something important waiting for her to complete.

Crossing the busy street, Ji Yan came to the jewelry store she had visited some time ago. The decoration inside the store was elegant and warm, with soft lighting, making people feel particularly comfortable.

As soon as I walked in, a clerk greeted me warmly: "Welcome, how can I help you?"

Ji Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm here to pick up the things I ordered earlier. They should be ready, right?"

The clerk immediately remembered that this elegant lady had come to the store to order a custom ring before, and she smiled and replied, "Yes, it's ready. I'll get it for you right away."

After a while, the clerk came over carefully holding a delicate little box and placed it in front of Ji Yan. Ji Yan couldn't wait to open the box, and saw six exquisite rings inside, each of which exuded a unique light.

She gently picked up a ring and looked at it carefully. The design of the ring was simple and elegant, and the patterns and gems on it were carefully selected and polished, exactly the same as the design she had drawn before. Ji Yan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, she knew that these rings would be important memories in her life.

"Very satisfied, thank you for your careful production." Ji Yan said to the clerk with a smile.

The clerk smiled and responded: "You're welcome. I'm glad to help you. These rings are really beautiful. You will definitely like them."

Ji Yan nodded, took out her wallet from her bag, and paid for the custom ring. She carefully put the ring away and put it in her bag, then said goodbye to the clerk and walked out of the jewelry store.

Walking on the way home, Ji Yan was in a particularly good mood.
