【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Pin'er called Shuirong several times but still couldn't get through.

At this moment, she didn't dare to call Zijuan, for fear that she would worry and run out to pick her up. What if the two people hadn't left yet, it would be even more dangerous if Zijuan met them.

The only people who could come to pick her up now were men, and they had to be familiar with her. She couldn't explain the situation, or else people would gossip about her.

Even if Pin'er said she was being followed, it was not dangerous. But if rumors spread, it would become unbearable. So she could only say that she was frightened by a shadow that did not exist. Thankfully, today was Halloween, so this excuse was not so abrupt.

On the other side, Xue Wenqi returned to the ballroom and searched near the table for a long time but couldn't find Lin Pin'er's bag, so he had to come out and call the two people.

"Hello, have you seen Miss Lin? Let her answer the phone."

"Boss, let that woman run away!" said one of the gangsters.

"What? Did you scare her?"

"As soon as she saw us, she ran away and we couldn't catch her!"

"I told you to watch her, not to catch her, you bastard."

"Sorry, boss, we'll find her for you right now." The younger brother who answered the phone hung up in a hurry, wandered around the rockery for a long time, and then wandered around in the bushes for a long time. He kept cursing that this place was like a maze, and after a long time of tossing and turning, he finally got out with the help of a little light in the distance.

"I just heard the sound of a door closing over there. They must have gone that way." The two of them came over to the sound and walked around the door without knocking: "Is this the house?"

"I don't know. I just seemed to hear the door close."

The two of them had no choice but to tentatively shout towards the door: "Come out, our boss wants to see you, we are not bad people, don't hide."

The servant heard the noise outside the door again, so he went out of the yard and came to the gate to listen carefully. He heard the voice of a strange man, who seemed to be knocking on the door.

He quickly started to scold, "Why are you shouting so late? You are disturbing the neighbors, do you know that? If you don't leave, we will call the police."

When the two people outside the door heard what was said inside, they decided not to shout anymore and walked aside to call Xue Wenqi.

The secretary went back into the house only after seeing that the two of them had calmed down.

"What's going on outside?" Tanchun frowned.

"There were some strange men shouting there, and I gave them a lecture. Now they have quieted down."

Tanchun looked at Lin Pin'er's expression and thought about the people outside. She guessed what was going on, but she didn't dare to ask directly.

Here, Pin'er finally got through to Baoyu: "Brother Baoyu, where are you?"

"I'm on my way to send Wu Qing home. What's wrong?" Baoyu said and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh, how could I forget about you? Wait for me there, I'll come back to pick you up soon."

"It's okay, don't worry. I'm drinking tea here with Tanchun. After you send Wu Qing off, come and pick me up and take me home." Pin'er tried to remain calm and not let her voice tremble so much.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Just after hanging up Baoyu's phone, Shui Rong called again: "Pin'er, where are you? Is everything okay?"

With these words, tears instantly filled Pin'er's eyes, and her vision became blurred. After a pause, she said, "It's okay now."

Shui Rong became even more worried when he heard her nasal and trembling voice: "Where are you now? I'll come find you."

"Aren't you in Haicheng? How did you find me?"

"After we talked on the phone earlier, I had a feeling that you were in danger, so I bought the next flight back. I just landed now."

For a moment, Pin'er seemed to have a thousand words to say to him, but she felt that they were all choked in her throat and she couldn't say them. After calming down, she said, "I'm at Tanchun's house. Go slowly on your way, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, keep the line open. I'll be right there."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" After receiving Shui Rong's call, Pin'er immediately felt more at ease. Her complexion became much better and she could even chat with Tanchun.

Soon, Shui Rong arrived at the garden, got off the car and ran over here, Shi Fan also ran behind him, while running he pointed out to Shui Rong which yard was Tanchun's. When Shui Rong came over, he saw three people walking towards the main building. Shui Rong squinted his eyes to see the backs of those people clearly, but it was too dark to see clearly. He did not stay for long, just arranged for Shi Fan to ask Wang Xifeng for the surveillance in the garden.

Then he called Pin'er: "Pin'er, I'm at the door. Ask them to open the door."

After Shui Rong entered the house, he saw that Pin'er was safe and sound, but her face looked a little bad. He did not ask what happened, but just said sorry to Tanchun, and took Pin'er back. Pin'er talked to Tanchun for a few more words, and said that she would come to visit again in a few days, and then followed Shui Rong back.

Along the way, Shui Rong wrapped her in his windbreaker and put his arm around her shoulders, as if he was afraid that she would be blown by the wind. After they returned, they went upstairs without saying anything.

"Tell me what happened just now." Shui Rong asked worriedly.

Pin'er then told Shui Rong what happened that night. After thinking for a while, she said, "After I calmed down and thought about it, it wasn't a big deal. Maybe he didn't mean any harm. I was mainly scared by those two strangers, and just now I suddenly remembered some bad memories about the original owner, so I got scared."

Shui Rong put his arm around her shoulders and coaxed her: "You responded well today, but you shouldn't have run out by yourself. Did you forget you had a phone? You should have called Baoyu inside. This Baoyu is really..."

After a pause, he asked cautiously, "Any bad memories that come to mind?"

As they were talking, Zijuan knocked on the door and said through the door: "I made some calming tea for Miss Lin, drink it first and then talk!"

Pin'er quickly asked Zijuan to come in. Shuirong took the tea, blew it gently to make it less hot, and fed it to Pin'er. Seeing that the two looked less bad than when they came in, Zijuan went downstairs with peace of mind.

After taking a bite, she found it bitter and frowned. Baoyu called at that moment and she planned to avoid drinking the bitter thing while answering the phone.

Shui Rong glanced at the name on the phone, his eyes darkened and he said quietly: "Tell him you are asleep, don't worry, and don't have to come over." Pin'er nodded and did as he was told.

After Pin'er hung up the phone, Shui Rong coaxed her to drink a few more sips of calming tea. After putting down the bowl, he suddenly thought of something.

"Do you have your second sister-in-law's phone number?"

Pin'er nodded, and Shui Rong continued, "You can trust her, she treats you well. If something like this happens again, you can call her or go find her. Of course, I don't want this to happen again."

Pin'er nodded again, and at this moment she became very well-behaved.

"Shui Rong, how did you sense that I was in danger?"

“It wasn’t a premonition, Shi Fan was beside me at the time so I had no choice but to say this.

Actually, it was my system. After I hung up the phone, I was bored and studied the system. Suddenly, it warned me that something bad would happen to you tonight. I called you but you didn't answer, so I quickly booked a flight back. When I came back, I was in a hurry and didn't even collect your luggage. The gift I bought for you was still on the table in the hotel. "After saying this, Shui Rong remembered this and hurriedly called Shi Fan to ask him to contact Director He to tell him that he had come back early because of something. And arranged for someone to bring back their things from the hotel.

After hearing this, Pin'er felt even more moved and couldn't help but shed tears.

Baoyu hurried over to Tanchun's side. He told her that Pin'er had been taken away by Shuirong, so Baoyu had to sit down and sigh.

Tanchun came over and poured Baoyu a cup of hot tea. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Brother Bao, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not. Sister Lin seems frightened today. You are the brother, and you should take good care of us girls when you take us out. This is your responsibility. Am I right?" Tanchun's words were obviously tentative.

Baoyu was in a daze again, thinking: Why did I forget Pin'er at the dance? He was annoyed that he had made Wu Qing angry today. Then he was annoyed that he didn't run faster. If he ran faster, Pin'er would be happy to see him. Then he would hear her voice saying that she needed him to pick her up. But didn't Shui Rong go to Haicheng? Why did he come back?

"Are you sure it was Shui Rong who took him away?" Baoyu was anxious to confirm with Tanchun. As for what Tanchun had just said, he didn't hear a word.

Seeing that he looked like he was in a trance, Tanchun could only sigh.

"Sure, he rushed back from Haicheng." Tanchun would rather her brother was like Shui Rong, who would at least act like a brother.

In the end, Baoyu couldn't help but call Pin'er.
