From Rural Roots to City Lights Chapter 6

Ethan Chen nodded desperately. No matter what Adrian Wang said, it was right. It would be stupid to argue with a mentally ill person like Adrian Wang at this time. Saving her life was the most important thing. Even if she died, she couldn't die here like this.

Adrian Wang leaned against Ethan Chen and turned the knife and said calmly: "Open your legs, be careful or I'll cut you." Adrian Wang shaved Ethan Chen's sparse and thin pubic hair. Ethan Chen was frightened with every shaving by Adrian Wang, but Adrian Wang found it fun and interesting. Adrian Wang also had another purpose, which was to make Ethan Chen deeply afraid of him from body to heart, so that she would never be able to and dare not disobey him.

Love? Adrian Wang didn't believe in it at all. What Adrian Wang believed in was the real, visible and tangible things in his hands. Absolute authority and absolute power comparison determined the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Love, Adrian Wang didn't know what it was at all!

Ethan Chen was sick. She caught a bad cold in the middle of summer and was vomiting and having diarrhea. She had a high temperature and talked nonsense all night, crying and making a fuss!

How could he not get sick? Not to mention the tossing and turning all night, even the worry of life and death made Ethan Chen exhausted, not to mention the air conditioner in the room was turned on at a low temperature all night, it would be strange if Ethan Chen didn't get sick.

Adrian Wang cleaned up the bedroom. He didn't care much about the bloodstains on the bed sheets. This was proof that Ethan Chen was his. Ethan Chen's virginity belonged to Adrian Wang. This was the proof. Regardless of whether it was in line with ethical logic or not, Adrian Wang was convinced. Looking at Ethan Chen's pink and rosy Vag!n@, he knew that Ethan Chen was a virgin. This was natural for Adrian Wang, who was physically and mentally clean. It was unexpected for him to conclude that the bloodstains were proof that Ethan Chen was his. Adrian Wang still had a lot of feudal ideas.

Ethan Chen was very sick. The little extra meat she had eaten from the cream cakes recently disappeared. Adrian Wang stewed chicken soup. Ethan Chen, whose fever had subsided, could not eat it and drank two sips with gritted teeth. Adrian Wang forced Ethan Chen to drink a few more sips of soup. Ethan Chen could not eat anymore, so Adrian Wang carried Ethan Chen to the living room. Ethan Chen had been in a coma for three days. Today, Ethan Chen was in good spirits. Adrian Wang asked Ethan Chen to walk around, and the illness went away. Except for the lingering fear, Ethan Chen seemed to have recovered well.

Putting Ethan Chen on the soft sofa and giving her a cup of chrysanthemum tea to moisten her throat, Adrian Wang took a newspaper that he hadn't read for a few days. Then the doorbell rang, and Ethan Chen, who was in a semi-confused state, was so startled that she almost jumped up.

"It's Leo Liu and the others," Adrian Wang looked at the frightened Ethan Chen. He must have scared him too much in the past few days. He panicked at the slightest sign of trouble. He would use a conciliatory policy to comfort him these days.

Leo Liu and his group are here.

This time, Leo Liu changed his golden hair into red hair. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "What have you been doing these days? I can't see you. Hey! Ethan Chen, why don't you serve tea to the guests?"

Marcus Song, Owen Gao and Adrian Wang came in after greeting each other. Owen Gao said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Something went wrong over there and we wanted to discuss it..." Owen Gao saw Ethan Chen sitting on the sofa.

Marcus Song's narrowed eyes revealed a playful look. Leo Liu, who had taken a step forward, had already shouted: "You finally ate Ethan Chen!"

Any man could see that the pale face, the limp body, the panic-stricken expression were as if a label had been put on something that had happened to the silly rabbit. The eyes without glasses were narrowed and blank. It was obvious that Adrian Wang's clothes were too big and hung on Ethan Chen's thin and soft body, revealing an unconcealable erotic flavor. They were not too surprised. In fact, it was very obvious that Adrian Wang had always lived in a place without a place to stay, never stayed in one place for a week, and came here often after living with Ethan Chen, especially this month. No matter how late it was, Adrian Wang would naturally drive halfway across the city to come here to spend the night. They had already discussed this matter in private, and had also mourned for the ignorant and somewhat innocent Ethan Chen.

"Hey," Leo Liu stepped forward and squeezed over to say hello.

Ethan Chen had been unconscious for a few days and had been only thinking about saving her life under Adrian Wang's nose. She hadn't really thought about anything else. Now when she suddenly saw Leo Liu, Marcus Song, Owen Gao and others, Ethan Chen was completely stunned!

The ambiguous and knowing look in their eyes, with scrutiny and amusement, made Ethan Chen, who was slow in thinking, feel ashamed immediately. All he could think of and see in his heart were the sneaky and shameful looks of everyone in the world, and all he could think of were the whispers and the pointing and talking behind his back. Ethan Chen almost saw his parents lowering their heads in shame under the ridicule of the villagers. Farmers pay the most attention to their reputation. The proudest thing about his mother's life was that she sent her three sons to college without borrowing a penny from others. His honest father had been farming for half his life and silently took care of all the work in the fields. No matter how tired or busy he was during the busy farming season, he never asked his son to help him and put his son's schooling first. What has happened now? He has done something shameful and ugly, and encountered such a villain and hooligan, who did such a dirty thing!

Once the lock of memory was opened, the events of that day came to Ethan Chen's mind vividly. The obvious pain deep in the body told Ethan Chen what happened that day! His own cowardice, his own ugly fear of death, and his fear of death that made him forget his dignity as a human being. Ethan Chen came to his senses and felt ashamed. His thoughts in an instant seemed to have lasted for hundreds of years. Instinctively, Ethan Chen wanted to escape from these people. The moment he moved, Leo Liu was already in front of him. He stared at Ethan Chen with a playful and ambiguous smile and said, "How is it? Adrian Wang is very powerful, can you handle it? Don't worry, Adrian Wang's expression is a little cold, but he is not a stingy person. In the end, he will give you a lot of money to settle down..." Leo Liu was thrown away by Adrian Wang. Leo Liu almost fell down. Adrian Wang stared at Leo Liu coldly. Leo Liu was a little puzzled. It was nothing new for them to do this. It was nothing. But Adrian Wang's reaction was a little abnormal.

"Adrian Wang!" Marcus Song shouted loudly, which was rare for him. "Look at Ethan Chen!"

They turned around and saw blood gushing out of the corner of Ethan Chen's mouth. After hearing Leo Liu's ambiguous teasing words, Ethan Chen's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. The blood in his heart rushed to his throat and spurted out. Ethan Chen was so angry that he passed out. The bleeding would not stop. All the expressions of humiliation, unwillingness, despair, and grief were fully displayed on his face!

They were surprised, even a little puzzled. According to their understanding, Leo Liu, who was always outspoken, didn't say anything. This is the market. There are many beautiful girls selling in big hotels these days. The more high-end the hotel, the more there are. It is a major feature, a tacit thing known to everyone, and the most avant-garde and fashionable thing these days. I am afraid that except for Adrian Wang who has not tasted it, others have already tried it. It's nothing! What's more, what kind of person is Adrian Wang? They have been with Adrian Wang since childhood, don't they know? Anyway, throw him away when you are tired of him. Ethan Chen is also a rare race. I think it will be difficult for him to mix in society in the future. No matter what happens after following Adrian Wang in the past few years, Adrian Wang will not treat him badly in the future. They have always used money to solve problems. Why is Ethan Chen spitting blood? .

"It's none of my business," Leo Liu shook his body and waved his hands, "I didn't say anything! What happened to him?"

Adrian Wang frowned as he laid Ethan Chen flat. Leo Liu looked carefully at the shocking bloodstain and said, "I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry. I'll go get a doctor." He ran to find a doctor.

Adrian Wang didn't say anything. Leo Liu, who was vulgar and careless in his actions, could become their friend because he was very loyal. He just said something unpleasant. Among all of them, only Leo Liu had some human touch. So every time Leo Liu provoked Ethan Chen for a joke, Adrian Wang never asked. That was because Leo Liu looked up to Ethan Chen. Owen Gao, who Ethan Chen respected the most, was a famous smiling tiger. After riding in the car several times, Ethan Chen still didn't react that the black car he was afraid of was Owen Gao's car. It was Owen Gao who was smiling and welcoming that day to bury Ethan Chen. Ethan Chen was really an extraordinary person who judged people by appearance. Leo Liu had reminded Ethan Chen again and again, but Ethan Chen just didn't understand. This made Leo Liu flirt with Ethan Chen every time he saw her. He liked to see Ethan Chen, who looked particularly smart and capable with frameless glasses, raising his eyebrows and squinting his eyes. He was obviously distressed but seemed to be arrogant.

Ethan Chen fainted from anger. His hands and feet were cold and his body was completely stiff and unable to move. However, his mind was clearer than ever. All he could hear was the noise of them coming and going. Ethan Chen, who was clear-headed, was thinking only of the consequences. He wanted to fight to the death with Adrian Wang. Ethan Chen was not without determination, but he was afraid that he could not do it because of his prestige. Their lawlessness and arrogance frightened Ethan Chen. For an ordinary person like Ethan Chen, fighting to the death meant going to jail. He would be safe, but what about his family? That was something the Chen family could not raise their heads about. He had only one plan in mind! That was to leave by himself, and go far away, and never see them again in his life!

The sadness in his heart was beyond words. Giving up his dream of going to college after more than ten years was really heartbreaking for Ethan Chen, and his life was ruined! But Ethan Chen had made up his mind. Ethan Chen was a stubborn person. He relied on his unyielding spirit. His rote learning method of making up for his shortcomings with hard work showed his stubborn personality. Although he was naturally careless and lived a sloppy life, he would not turn around and stick to it once he decided to do something. Giving up his own future was inevitable. Even if he dropped out of school and disappeared in the future, his parents would only worry about the gossip around him. The Chen family still had two sons, Aaron Chen and Kevin Chen, and they would definitely be successful. The gossip would subside in a few years. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. This is much better than the whole Chen family being scolded by others in the future. Pay attention and make up your mind. You can't stay here anymore!

Leo Liu dragged an old doctor from the community's outpatient clinic over. Adrian Wang had already carried Ethan Chen into the bedroom and cleaned up the bloodstains. He originally wanted to take Ethan Chen to the hospital, but after vomiting blood, Ethan Chen's face, which had been as pale as gold, returned to its pale color after a while, and even his breathing became much more stable. At this moment, Leo Liu hurriedly dragged the doctor over.

The doctor in this small clinic was quite professional in taking the patient's pulse and examining the patient. The conclusion he reached was not beyond everyone's understanding. It was considered that the heart pulse was damaged. In short, it was a stimulus and he was thinking too much. Fortunately, his pulse was stable and his breathing was smooth. He was fine. If he was really worried, he could buy some supplements and he would be fine. Unexpectedly, he was fine. Leo Liu dragged the old doctor out and asked: "Will he be thinking too much? Is it really okay?"

The old doctor looked at Leo Liu, who laughed dryly: "I joked too much and made him so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. I was worried that he would be upset when he woke up."

The doctor thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, his pulse is weak but steady, not like he is depressed. His face is thin and not open-minded, so it's better not to stimulate him."

Leo Liu was relieved when he heard the doctor say that Ethan Chen's pulse seemed stable, which meant that she had no intention of dying. After all, it was his words that made Ethan Chen spit out blood. It was really scary to see black and red blood pouring out of a healthy person's mouth. Leo Liu took out several large bills as the consultation fee. The doctor, who must have seen the world, took it and stuffed it into his pocket. He asked for a piece of paper and wrote a Chinese medicine prescription and asked him to go to Tongren Hall to get the medicine. There was a precious medicine in the prescription. He was afraid that other pharmacies would pass it off as a good one: "These days, the raw materials of Chinese medicine are not regular. Only that one can be considered the original one." The doctor explained and left.

Adrian Wang also heard it, and felt relieved. Seeing that Ethan Chen was sleeping soundly, he came out after thinking about it. Marcus Song and Owen Gao had something to meet Adrian Wang for, and they encountered this incident three minutes after entering. They didn't feel much. Ethan Chen vomited blood without being forced by them. They did sympathize a little, just a little. Everyone has their own destiny. Anyway, Ethan Chen couldn't get away, so it was better to think positively.

Adrian Wang was going to buy medicine and Owen Gao was driving. They talked in the car. This was the suburbs and it would take an hour to go back and forth at the fastest. Leo Liu was supposed to stay, but he didn't want to be there alone. He was afraid of Ethan Chen. If Ethan Chen woke up and said something, it would be bad. Leo Liu couldn't control his mouth. Thinking of this, Adrian Wang didn't say anything else. Ethan Chen was still in a coma. Based on past experience, Ethan Chen would sleep for half a day. Adrian Wang searched for Ethan Chen's key, locked the door, and went out with them. He hoped to come back as soon as possible.

The moment the door closed, Ethan Chen opened his eyes, brighter than ever before.

The glasses could not be found. In the drawer there was a pair of glasses with one leg broken by Adrian Wang three months ago. They could be worn by rolling them with transparent tape. After getting used to the dizziness, Ethan Chen found the ID card and his passbook in the drawer beside the bed which he had never had the chance to use. There was more than one thousand yuan in the passbook. This was the largest private property in Ethan Chen's life. It was his life now. Time waits for no one. Ethan Chen just vaguely heard that they went out to buy medicine together. There were drugstores all over the street. There was a big drugstore at the intersection five minutes outside the community. Ethan Chen did not dare to waste a moment. He took off his clothes, changed into presentable clothes and walked quickly. Ethan Chen heard the sound of the key being searched by Adrian Wang. Ethan Chen put on her own clothes. She found the pocket of Adrian Wang's sandals when he bought clothes and put the pair of imitation Nikes she bought at home into it, then opened the drawer of the shoe cabinet, where there was a spare key for the third pair of shoes. Ethan Chen's movements paused for a second, looking at the pile of money in the open drawer, and then she looked at the big red passbook in her hand. Ethan Chen never carried cash with her, so she had to go to the school's branch to withdraw money when she ran out. According to past experience, it took half an hour to withdraw money each time, which was considered fast. Ethan Chen thought for only a second before pulling down the small drawer and pouring all the large and small bills inside into the big bag. There was no time to waste, so Ethan Chen left her passbook behind, opened the door and ran downstairs. The only thing in her mind was to leave this place, far away and forever.

He peeked around and made sure that there was no one on the stairs, then rushed downstairs in two steps towards the gate of the community. The doctor in the outpatient clinic with the open door in the corridor caught a glimpse of the figure rushing out of the corridor. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the figure running out of the gate of the community, thought for a moment, and turned around as if he had not seen it.

After hailing a taxi, Ethan Chen suppressed her anger, put her hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and calmly asked the driver to drive to the train station.

I didn't get carsick. The car wasn't driving fast. The roads in the suburbs of Beijing were not much better than those in the county. The Beijing city that once made Ethan Chen proud was now like a broken garden and ruins in Ethan Chen's eyes.

The Beijing train station is always crowded with people coming and going. When Ethan Chen first came to Beijing, she was full of passion! Ethan Chen squeezed into the ticket hall with a bag of money. She wanted to buy the farthest ticket.

No matter how urgent it was, she had to queue up in a long line and move forward step by step. Ethan Chen finally thought seriously about which place was the farthest. Harbin? No, it was too cold. It was said that water would freeze in half a year. Not many southerners went there. Xinjiang? It was not so good. It was said that there was no one living there. Tibet? Ethan Chen moved forward with the crowd. Ethan Chen rejected it. We were not of the same nationality. Then she should go to Guangdong. There were many job opportunities there. Ethan Chen thought about it for a long time and gave up. When she went home for the Spring Festival, most of the young people in the village who went out to work were working in Guangdong. It was not that Ethan Chen had not thought of going to Shanghai. Leo Liu had said that Adrian Wang would never go to Shanghai. But Ethan Chen hesitated. After hearing Kevin Chen say that their Suzhou was only a few hours away from Shanghai, Kevin Chen often went there to see the world and said that he would definitely find a job in Shanghai in the future and suffer for twenty years to become a Shanghainese. Although Ethan Chen did not go there, Shanghai is a big city, but Shanghai people look down on outsiders the most, especially the people from Jiangbei. It is an open reality. People also know that Shanghai is a city that only cares about money. Ethan Chen gave up. Now Ethan Chen just wants to hide in an unknown place. How can she think of a future? Ethan Chen now hates the contemptuous eyes and is extremely sensitive! Ethan Chen thought of the mountains. She read in a book that ancient people hid in the mountains. It is said that the southwest is full of mountains. After careful consideration, Ethan Chen decided to find a town in Chongqing, a mountain city that she had only heard of but never been to. After making up her mind, Ethan Chen bought a ticket that was lucky enough to be in the time slot half an hour later. She didn't have to wait anxiously. Ethan Chen squeezed into the cumbersome station hall and waited for the ticket to be cut. She followed the surging crowd into the train. The sound of the train made Ethan Chen feel lost. The final exam of the semester was next week. She must be expelled. Who knew how sad Ethan Chen was?

It was the third day after sunrise and sunset when they arrived in Chongqing. Ethan Chen did not feel the novelty of arriving in a strange city at all. He bought a tourist map as soon as he got off the bus, found the names of towns far away from the city, and then looked for a bus. The car went up and down on the winding mountain road, giving the illusion that it was going deep into the mountains. Ethan Chen was sure that no one would find him.

The mountains are undulating, not high, but for Ethan Chen, who grew up in the Jiangbei Plain and had rarely seen mountains, it was different. Ethan Chen lay in a bed in a small town guesthouse for three days, and only got up on the fourth day. He had lost weight again. The memories deep in his body made Ethan Chen's mind suffer from moral torture.

Living in a guesthouse all the time was not a solution. After eating the ten-yuan set meal in the guesthouse cafeteria, Ethan Chen tried to talk to the big sister who cleaned the room about renting a house. She said that she came to visit a relative and that her relative had a daughter and it was inconvenient for her to stay. This lie was something Ethan Chen had spent three days thinking up with great effort and it was flawless. The big sister was also enthusiastic and immediately took Ethan Chen to a small street, turned an alley and entered an old courtyard. Finally, after bargaining, they rented a room with old furniture. It cost Ethan Chen sixty-five yuan a month, and water and electricity were charged another ten yuan a month. The landlord also politely treated Ethan Chen to a pure Sichuan lunch. However, apart from eating the steamed rice with every grain of rice served, Ethan Chen did not dare to move his chopsticks too much on the red dishes.

The housing problem was solved temporarily. After Ethan Chen fell seriously ill, he fled. He was not safe on the train and was nervous and uneasy living in the hotel. Now he is settled. The weather is hot, so Ethan Chen bought a small electric fan to blow the air. He was thinking about what to do in the future.

After carefully counting the remaining balance, there was still 7,630 yuan. Should I save it or use it for business? Ethan Chen had no plan, so he had to think about it first. He took the trouble to hide the money in a hollow bamboo joint of the bamboo bed. Ethan Chen was sad. It was the final exam at this time, but he was living on other people's money, and it was the money of the person he should not use the most. Fortunately, he left his passbook to pay him back... Ethan Chen suddenly sat up when he thought of something. He felt dizzy and almost fell down. Ethan Chen had been eating poorly for a few days and had anemia. When the dizziness passed, Ethan Chen immediately closed the door carefully and went to the street corner to find a public phone to call home. Chen's shop had a public phone. Pagers were popular these days, and the phone in the shop was also very profitable.

The mother answered the phone. Her voice was loud and clear, and it seemed that she didn't know about this. Ethan Chen asked her mother not to send her living expenses from this month onwards. She also told her mother that she did well in the final exam and would definitely get a scholarship of several hundred yuan. In addition, she would stay in Beijing to work during the summer vacation. The school organized a work-study program for middle school students, and the income would be very high. In the future, she would not need to send living expenses from home. Mother Chen told her to take care of her health and was busy talking to people who were buying things or visiting, "It's my second child, the second child who is studying in Beijing, and he got a scholarship." There was so much pride in her voice, so loud and clear.

Ethan Chen quietly put down the phone, paid the long-distance call fee, ran back home, locked the door, and cried until late at night.

Got to survive! Ethan Chen ate the spicy malatang which was everywhere in the town. Just hearing the name, Ethan Chen didn't want to eat it. Ethan Chen didn't reject spicy food, but Sichuan people are too extreme in eating spicy food. They basically eat chili as their meal, and everything is red. Ethan Chen should stay away from it. But after eating instant noodles for ten consecutive days, Ethan Chen went to eat it once and told the boss not to add any spicy flavor, which aroused the curiosity of the diners. Fortunately, it was also delicious without spicy flavor, and most importantly, it was not expensive. Three or five yuan was enough to eat very well and full, with vegetables and soup. Ethan Chen's three meals a day now are like this.

Ethan Chen was preparing to find a job, which was harder than she had imagined, because this was a remote town in the city, and the dialect was very strong, which Ethan Chen could not understand very well. She could understand it by intuition, but it was difficult for her to communicate. She understood the meaning, but the language was basically incomprehensible. Ethan Chen put the job aside for the time being and had no intention of looking for a job at this time.

Ethan Chen went out every day, saying she was going to her relatives, but in fact she was going to the hills near the town and staying in the house all day. Ethan Chen was fine, but she was afraid that the landlord would get suspicious. Lying on the grass under the trees on the hills and feeling the breeze and daydreaming in the hot summer was also a kind of happiness, but Ethan Chen only felt sad. Now the summer vacation has been over for several days, Aaron Chen and Kevin Chen must have gone home, eating the home-cooked meals made by their mother and inviting the young people in the village to play. Although she was sad, Ethan Chen thought that it was worth it to protect the reputation of the Chen family.

The break ends here. I will look for a job tomorrow. Even if I can't find one, I can rent a store in the town and open a small shop at home. The rent of the store in the town is very cheap, less than 3,000 yuan a year. I can live in the store and save the rent for accommodation. The remaining 4,000 yuan will not be a big problem to go to the small commodity wholesale market to buy some snacks. Although I haven't walked around the town for a few times, I can see that people here are not necessarily good eaters, but they really eat a lot, especially girls. The snack shops on the street are basically all women. With a determined mind, Ethan Chen sighed and got up in the dusk. It's time to go back. He stood still and felt dizzy because of his blood pressure and fell on the grass. Before Ethan Chen fell, Ethan Chen seemed to see an illusory image! Before he fell, Ethan Chen saw those people that he couldn't see, shouldn't see, and didn't want to see. He was dreaming, and he must be having a nightmare again! Ethan Chen hated how long it would take for such a nightmare to disappear? !

Leo Liu squatted down and looked at Ethan Chen with sympathy. Ethan Chen fainted as soon as she saw them. Ethan Chen's face was full of anger and sadness!

That day they bought the medicine and finished their business and rushed back in less than fifty minutes. When they saw the empty room, Adrian Wang's face was as calm as usual. He checked all the drawers. This house has always been cleaned by Adrian Wang. The bank card Adrian Wang gave to Ethan Chen was pressed under the white paper in the drawer as if it was new. Ethan Chen did not take anything away. When they checked the drawer of the shoe cabinet at the door, all the pocket money they usually put there was gone, leaving only a strange big red passbook with a balance of 1,130 yuan. Owen Gao picked it up and took a look at it, with a little respect in his eyes.

Owen Gao took the initiative to go to Ethan Chen's school and dormitory to check. It was obvious that Ethan Chen had disappeared. She did not even show up for the final exam. The world is so big that even they had no idea where to find her. They also believed that Ethan Chen had made up her mind to run away and there was no way she would go home. Ethan Chen still had some intelligence, right? After a careful search, there were no clues. With Ethan Chen's dull personality, who would know where she would stay for three to five years? They all had this consensus, but they were concerned about Adrian Wang. What kind of relationship did Adrian Wang have? Even Adrian Wang himself couldn't explain it clearly, but there was something really wrong with Adrian Wang. After being with Ethan Chen for four months, they had gotten used to the increasingly human Adrian Wang. But now Adrian Wang had returned to the way he was four months ago. It was the same look they had seen for more than ten years, and should be the most familiar to them, quiet and empty. But Adrian Wang seemed to be missing a soul. They felt that something was really wrong, and they must find Ethan Chen. Ethan Chen was like someone sent by God to make up for the soul that Adrian Wang was born without. Only with Ethan Chen could Adrian Wang feel like a person with a complete soul.

Finding clues about Ethan Chen was surprisingly easy. They all had a consensus that Chen Suwan couldn't possibly be at home.

As soon as Leo Liu finished his final exam, he took the home address of Ethan Chen that Owen Gao had cheated from the school and went south to try his luck. They were also analyzing the possible location of Ethan Chen.

Anyway, the exams were over, and they all joined the detective tricks, but no one expected that in the vast sea of   people and vast territory of China, Ethan Chen, who deliberately wanted to disappear, would be so easy to find! First, Leo Liu bought a few hundred yuan worth of things in Chen's store as a college student visiting relatives from other places. After clearing out the expensive inventory of Chen's family, Aunt Chen laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and talked about all the family affairs. Of course, she also mentioned that her second son was studying well in Beijing University and got a scholarship. He would not go home this year. This was said in a phone call a few days ago. When Leo Liu heard about it, he immediately found a car to go to the county telecommunications bureau to pay the Chen family's 160 yuan phone bill for this month, and then took the bill to dial all the numbers that Chen's family called in and out. The area code of the phone number that Ethan Chen called came out, and the scope of searching for Ethan Chen was narrowed. They gathered in Chongqing from the north and south directions. They drove, and Leo Liu took a plane from Nanjing. Leo Liu, who arrived first, found that the area code of the phone was close to Chongqing East. The county town was a few hours away. Leo Liu repeated his old trick, paid the phone bill, found the address where the phone was installed, and rushed to the town surrounded by mountains and rivers. It was so easy to find Ethan Chen. After asking a few questions, a short, pale, spectacled young man in his twenties with a southern Mandarin accent came to the public phone. The auntie at the public phone immediately told them in a local accent that the young man rented a house in the alley owned by the old Shen family. People soon gathered around. Ethan Chen was quite famous here, a weird young man from another place who didn't eat spicy food, didn't do anything, and stayed in the mountains every day. They had long suspected that the young man was a college student in the city who had suffered a broken heart and came to their remote place to heal his mood. The local girls had speculated a lot. There were always few outsiders in this local area, and every family would know about something new.

It didn't take much effort to find Ethan Chen. Someone directed them to the top of the hill and they saw Ethan Chen lying leisurely on the grass. They were really disappointed to see her from afar. They really just came out for this trip just like accompanying Ethan Chen to play cat and mouse. It was a leisurely and comfortable feeling. The scenery here was really nice.

Owen Gao and Marcus Song tightly held Adrian Wang, whose eyes gleamed with ferocity as soon as he saw Ethan Chen's shadow. When Ethan Chen stood up from the grass and saw them, she rolled her eyes and fainted. Even Marcus Song, who was just watching the incident, felt that Ethan Chen was really pitiful and interesting. It was right for him to faint, otherwise he would have to bear Adrian Wang's wrath. As soon as Adrian Wang saw Ethan Chen, he grabbed a thick branch. No one would doubt what Adrian Wang was going to do, but at least he had to break Ethan Chen's leg.

Ethan Chen was very thin and weak, with a pale face. He was lying on the grass, looking really weak. If he was beaten again, someone would be killed. Ethan Chen was very weak, and it seemed that he would not be able to be taught a lesson, and someone would really be killed.

Marcus Song went to drive the car parked outside the town. Originally, they wanted to come by plane, which was fast and convenient. However, they considered that once they found Ethan Chen, Ethan Chen would definitely not cooperate and make a fuss, which would be difficult to deal with. So they took turns driving here with great difficulty. Now it seems that this was the right decision. The local people really like to watch the fun. When they asked about Ethan Chen's whereabouts just now, a group of aunts and grandmas gathered around them curiously.

While waiting for Marcus Song to drive the car over, they sat down around Ethan Chen. The wind on the mountain was very comfortable. Ethan Chen also woke up. Owen Gao signaled that he would persuade Ethan Chen. After all, in Ethan Chen's eyes, the kind-looking Owen Gao was a good man.

Ethan Chen woke up from his daze and saw Leo Liu staring at him with a smile, full of suspicion. Ethan Chen retreated in shock! It was not a nightmare, it was real!

Owen Gao reached out and pushed away Leo Liu, who was trying to show his goodwill with a fake smile. That red hair didn't look serious. Leo Liu touched the tip of his nose. It seemed that a person's appearance was also important, even if it was only on the surface. Leo Liu decided to dye his hair back to its original state.

Seeing the unbelievable astonishment in Ethan Chen's eyes, Leo Liu couldn't help but interrupt and joke: "We have installed a military bug in your home. Your home is under our surveillance. You have nowhere to escape!"

Seeing the defeated look on Ethan Chen's face, even a fool would know where to start. It seems that Ethan Chen is very traditional and cares about family, which is completely different from them. Owen Gao saw it and gave Leo Liu a look to shut up and stay aside.

Seeing Ethan Chen's face full of horror and knowing that Ethan Chen was serious again, Leo Liu reached out and slapped his mouth twice, feeling annoyed. Why couldn't he control his mouth? Leo Liu shut up and stood aside without saying anything. No one knew what Adrian Wang was thinking while standing aside.

"Ethan Chen, now that things have come to this, you'd better not think too much. You have lived with Adrian Wang for four months, you should know what kind of person Adrian Wang is. I will not say much more. If we hadn't stopped Adrian Wang from making a big fuss in your house this time," Owen Gao was lying with his eyes open. In fact, Owen Gao and the others didn't want to get involved in it now. Ethan Chen was a good person, and they were not pimps who had nothing better to do. They could have a relationship with Adrian Wang, but they also agreed not to interfere in each other's private affairs. It was just that this matter made them all embarrassed, especially Owen Gao. He was the one who hit the person while driving, and Chen Sucheng's current situation had a lot to do with him. What's more, Ethan Chen trusted him so much. This was not the most important thing. The main thing was Adrian Wang. They had known Adrian Wang for more than ten years and had been together since childhood, so they were used to it. The man who had been together for more than ten years, smart, capable, calm and insightful, had become lively and had a little bit of human touch in the past three months. When Ethan Chen disappeared, Adrian Wang didn't change at all and even became calmer. But it was because of the comparison over the past few months that they realized that the previous Adrian Wang was abnormal, emotionless, and even lifeless. He was also a person who treated everyone as dead. However, Adrian Wang, who lived with Ethan Chen, gradually had the breath of a human being, so they chose to get involved.

Adrian Wang was standing not far away and watching. When Adrian Wang saw Ethan Chen on the mountain, his first thought was to break his legs to see if he dared to run away again. It was not difficult for Adrian Wang to lock Ethan Chen up there for life. Adrian Wang had no reason to let go of anyone who disobeyed him, but Ethan Chen fainted at that moment and his face was very pale. Adrian Wang followed Owen Gao's advice and asked Owen Gao to talk to Ethan Chen first. Shunfeng could hear their words, but Adrian Wang, who was looking at Ethan Chen at this moment, was confused.

Why is he so obsessed with Ethan Chen? Is it love? That's too exaggerated. Even Adrian Wang himself doesn't believe it. Ethan Chen is not a very outstanding person. No matter how much he flatters Ethan Chen, Ethan Chen is still a nerd who is out of touch with the times. She is not smart or generous. Her face can only be slightly related to beauty. There are many things like playing with children in Beijing. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. You also know that those people only look at children under the age of sixteen who are refreshing and beautiful. But why did he choose Ethan Chen? Why can't he choose Ethan Chen? Because Ethan Chen resisted him? This is not right. Ethan Chen is still quite afraid of him. She has never resisted him. Moreover, conquering the little self-esteem of someone like Ethan Chen is nothing to brag about. But why did he choose Ethan Chen?

Why? Adrian Wang looked at Ethan Chen lying on the grass with cold eyes. At that time, Adrian Wang didn't know why he didn't let Ethan Chen go. Because he didn't know, he didn't let go.

Before coming, Leo Liu was afraid of Adrian Wang's aloof attitude, so he invited a well-known psychologist to talk to the calm and amazing Adrian Wang. Adrian Wang didn't like others to pry into his mind, but Adrian Wang himself was curious about what he thought of Ethan Chen and held on tightly. After communicating with Adrian Wang for two hours, the psychologist gave Adrian Wang a scientific and rational analysis and research report, "Because you think that people like him will not betray you once they obey and get used to you. His traditional concepts and his cowardly personality will be sure of one thing as long as his moral concepts are imprinted, at least people like him will not actively betray you and leave you. As for the out-of-control behavior that day, it can also be explained as irrational violent actions before knowing that he was going to lose the theory that he should never lose. This kind of violent behavior is irrational and unscientific, and should be restrained."

After paying a high consultation fee and sending the expert away, Adrian Wang thought about it and felt like he was being scratched and couldn't understand! Now looking at Ethan Chen, Adrian Wang seemed to have a little bit of sudden realization. It was loneliness, Adrian Wang was really afraid of loneliness. The ordinary and unscheming Ethan Chen was the family he wanted. Adrian Wang just wanted to go home and open the door every day and say: "You are back, have you eaten?" Every day when he came back, there was someone in the house staying in the warm bed, and there was a human breath in the house. And at present, no one except Ethan Chen gave him this feeling. Adrian Wang saw too many men and women of all kinds. Adrian Wang needed someone to accompany him through his lonely life, but this person must not make him bored. Adrian Wang chose Ethan Chen, whether it was instinctive or malicious, Adrian Wang chose Ethan Chen to participate in his life, Adrian Wang would not allow Ethan Chen to escape, Ethan Chen had intervened in his life, and he also let Ethan Chen into his life, whether it was overbearing or forced, Ethan Chen's future life had to be entangled with him.

"I'll give you a choice." Adrian Wang walked over and looked at Ethan Chen calmly: "I will not interfere with your life and freedom as before. If you follow me, I will give you reasonable spouse treatment."

Reasonable treatment for a spouse? Ethan Chen fainted and wanted to die on this mountain. Ethan Chen couldn't hold back her breath. Treatment for a spouse? Ethan Chen raised her pale and weak head and stared at Adrian Wang. If eyes could kill, Ethan Chen would have chopped Adrian Wang into pieces. Adrian Wang's brain was filled with water.

Owen Gao was quite sympathetic, and Leo Liu felt that it was a pity that Marcus Song was not there and could not see such a lively and good show.

"Otherwise you'll never see anyone again in your life. I have a place for you to live forever," Adrian Wang said calmly. Adrian Wang was not intimidating. Adrian Wang always kept his word. Adrian Wang had already made up his mind. Ethan Chen's opinion was not within his consideration.

"Let me talk to Ethan Chen." Owen Gao asked Adrian Wang not to provoke Ethan Chen, as Ethan Chen looked like he was about to vomit blood.

"You are so stupid. You should agree to this condition immediately," Owen Gao sincerely advised Ethan Chen. "Anyway, whether you agree or not, he is your man. If you don't agree, you will be an adulterer living together illegally. If you agree, it will be legal. The decision-making power is not in your hands. Why don't you agree?" Owen Gao thought that he should do some good deeds in the future. He couldn't bear to say such stupid things and foolish words. He couldn't bear to deceive such an innocent person who trusted him. He tried his best to stay calm: "Besides, it can't be true. Just treat it as a game of house. Anyway, you don't have the right to dump him, right? At this time, you should put forward all the favorable conditions to protect yourself."

Ethan Chen hugged her knees and huddled under the tree. Ethan Chen was not just unlucky. Adrian Wang was so obsessed with Ethan Chen, it must not be Ethan Chen's body or face. They also believed this. Owen Gao could guess what Adrian Wang meant. Adrian Wang wanted a home. They saw too many people. They were qualified to see all kinds of people. People now only saw their money, and their eyes were full of naked desire! Adrian Wang just wanted an ordinary person who would not stab him in the back to be by his side. Adrian Wang must be very lonely. After getting used to the warm lifestyle of two people, Adrian Wang didn't want to spend thousands of sleepless nights alone.
