Chapter 184 Dorm Life Finally Comes to an End
Chapter 184 Dorm Life Finally Comes to an End
She must not have expected the police to find her so quickly, and when she saw them, she panicked.
She turned and tried to run away.
The police originally had some suspicions because of what Luo Yanran had said and planned to take her back for cooperation in the investigation.
But when she turned to run, it was essentially a self-confession.
Now she is in the interrogation room at the police station with Yan Lina.
Before Luo Yanran left, she and Xie Xiao went to take a look at Wang Wan and told her that she was going back.
Wang Wan seemed a bit frightened, "Why don't, why don't you stay here? I'm afraid they haven't caught everyone yet..."
Luo Yanran smiled, Wang Wan wasn't inherently bad, just a bit too envious and petty.
"It's okay, I'll go back with Xie Xiao." Luo Yanran didn't mention the security and police covertly protecting her, "You should rest up here, your family should be arriving tomorrow."
In the end, Wang Wan still informed her family, after all, this was no small matter.
Wang Wan nodded, looked at Luo Yanran earnestly and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry."
Thank you for saving me, I'm sorry for the rumors I spread about you before.
Luo Yanran responded with, "It doesn't matter."
After all, although Wang Wan had said she was arrogant, in Luo Yanran's view, it wasn't really spreading rumors.
That was just part of her personality.
And she wasn't a currency, she couldn't be liked by everyone, so it was normal for Wang Wan not to like her; there was nothing to apologize for.
If she hadn't encountered Wang Wan today, she still wouldn't have been able to watch a young girl being dragged into a car.
As they left the hospital, they rode in the Qi family's car.
Once in the car, Luo Yanran took the initiative to wrap her arms around Xie Xiao and whispered, "Xie Xiao, I'm still a little scared." Explore hidden tales at empire
Xie Xiao hugged her tightly, "I'm scared too."
The fear in Xie Xiao's heart wasn't any less than hers; they were fortunate nothing bad had happened and they had rescued the person...
What if they hadn't been lucky...
He couldn't bear to even imagine it.
Although he had restrained himself from saying anything in the hospital, at this moment Xie Xiao still couldn't hold back, "Don't be so impulsive next time, at least don't rush forward on your own..."
Luo Yanran closed her eyes, detecting the subtle tremble in Xie Xiao's voice.
She hummed softly in acknowledgement.
Xie Xiao was just about to exhale in relief, not yet having said anything more.
When he heard her say, "But if I were the one being dragged into a car, I really would hope someone would save me."
That soft statement caused even the bodyguard driving the car to glance at her through the rearview mirror.
Xie Xiao couldn't bring himself to say the words he had wanted to.
He knew that Luo Yanran hadn't done anything wrong today; in fact, she had done a good deed.
But his concern was real. What else could he say after hearing her words?
Yes, if no one had reached out, Wang Wan would have been taken away.
What would she have faced then?
This time it was Wang Wan; next time, it could be someone else. What if that person turned out to be someone very important to him?
How desperate that would be, surrounded by people, yet no one would reach out to help her.
Xie Xiao couldn't even bear to think of such a scene.
He took a deep breath, "Forget it, you just make me worry."
Luo Yanran gently curved her lips while in his arms, "I didn't mean to make you worry, but what I said was true. Just thinking about that scenario makes me shiver; such instances are not uncommon."
Indeed, in earlier years, many traffickers took people away in broad daylight.
Couples arguing, mothers abandoning their children, daughters running away from home...
Today's incident involved a young couple fighting.
This is just the same old tricks.
Actually, it's just a new label, with an added "neighbor".
But people still believe in these scams, and they can indeed abduct someone again,
which is horrifying.
"You won't encounter such things, don't talk nonsense."
Xie Xiao's voice was certain as he said, "Kids don't know any better."
At that moment, he was like a superstitious adult, frowning as he covered her mouth.
Luo Yanran's face was still a bit pale, and she looked somewhat pitiable with her mouth covered by him.
Seeing her like that made Xie Xiao's heart soften even more.
He sighed softly, let go, and reluctantly pinched her cheek.
Facing her smiling eyes, he found himself unable to say anything after all.
Luckily, the next day was Sunday, and they didn't have to go to class and could rest at home.
Xie Xiao couldn't sleep at all that night.
But Luo Yanran, perhaps too exhausted from the day and the shock,
fell asleep quite early, though her brows were still furrowed in her sleep as if she was frightened.
Xie Xiao soothed her in a low voice each time she furrowed her brow.
It was only upon hearing Xie Xiao's voice that she gradually relaxed.
The next day was even more exaggerated, Xie Xiao didn't go anywhere, sticking close to Luo Yanran the entire time,
The two didn't even go out, ordering takeout for all three meals.
It was not until past six in the afternoon that Officer Li called to say that the Liu brothers had been caught, along with a small gang,
According to their confessions, that was the extent of the people involved, but the police would still continue their thorough investigation.
Hearing this news, Xie Xiao felt a huge sense of relief.
He also asked about Wang Wan's situation at Luo Yanran's prompting, although Wang Wan had also sent Luo Yanran several messages.
Luo Yanran still worried that she might be too embarrassed to mention something, so she asked Xie Xiao to inquire with Officer Li.
"No big issues, she has recovered physically, and her family has come, she will be discharged from the hospital today." Officer Li seemed to be at the police station, and the background noise was rather loud.
Xie Xiao even heard some commotion.
Officer Li lowered his voice and said, "The parents of your classmate, the one who colluded with human traffickers to abduct a student, Yan Lina, have also come, they are making a fuss at the station, I can't talk much now. But rest assured, our people will secretly follow you these days. Just go about your school life as usual without being affected."
"Alright, thank you, Officer Li," Xie Xiao said with a relieved thanks.
Officer Li reminded him to call if needed, then went back to his duties.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Xiao looked at Luo Yanran beside him, "It's okay now."
Luo Yanran also smiled at him, "Good."
Even though they said that, in the following week, Xie Xiao attended all of Luo Yanran's classes whenever he was free, or waited for her outside if he couldn't join.
The other three in the dormitory all gave him a thumbs up, truly a 24/7 boyfriend.
As for Luo Yanran's dormitory, only two people remained.
Lin Min's relationship with her boyfriend was very stable, and she took the initiative to tell Luo Yanran that she planned to move out and live together, asking if she wanted to change dormitories.
Luo Yanran declined.
At that time, walking hand in hand with Xie Xiao on the school path, she sighed, "My dorm life, it didn't even last a semester, and now it's over."
Xie Xiao said with a smile, "So moving out for New Year's?"
"Hmm, otherwise I'd feel uncomfortable alone in the dormitory," Luo Yanran sighed.
Wang Wan's parents, worried about her, rented a house across from the university.
Wang Wan had been living with them and probably would not return for the rest of the semester.
