Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 560: Chapter 540: Save or Not Save?

Elvis carelessly draped a towel over his head, sat down next to Luo Qianqian, and looked sideways at the computer screen, ”School surveillance?”

Luo Qianqian was stunned and hurriedly closed the computer.

Elvis simply raised his eyebrows and said nothing, casually picking up a photo that Luo Qianqian had dropped to the ground. Then his gaze paused, ”Xiu Ran? Han Chen took her away?”

”How did you know?” Luo Qianqian looked incredulous. The surveillance footage from a moment ago had clearly not shown these two people, right?

”I knew when Han Chen approached her, and didn’t I remind you to be careful?” Elvis explained nonchalantly, ”You don’t need to worry anymore. Just focus on your classes. He wouldn’t dare do anything real.”

As he spoke, Elvis’s eyes narrowed, a gleam appearing, ”What do you want to eat? I haven’t had breakfast yet either.”

”No need...” Luo Qianqian began but saw the inquiring look on Elvis’s face, thought for a moment, and then nodded, ”Anything’s fine, I’m not picky.”

Elvis tugged at the corner of his mouth. He could believe others when they said that, but as for Luo Qianqian...

But now was not the time to let her know too much. He nodded and said, ”Bacon and eggs, fruit yogurt.” After speaking, he got up, wiping his blonde hair with the towel, and walked toward the kitchen.

Luo Qianqian nodded, didn’t say anything, and watched Elvis enter the kitchen before she reopened the closed computer.

She really didn’t know what to make of it with others. If it involved the Han Family, then it must definitely relate to Xu Xiaoxiao and the Xu Family!

But it seemed their pawns were much later to act compared to Han Chen’s, weren’t they? Would it be too late?

Merrily searching through Han Chen’s data, as she read line by line, Luo Qianqian frowned. He was like an idol; why resort to these petty tricks? Wouldn’t it be better to conquer with personal charm?

Excellent grades, sports all-rounder, countless awards, notably from a good family background, good-looking, with a physique comparable to a model, and even outstandingly handsome.

Having won countless awards since childhood, it was really puzzling why such a person would stoop to scheming against her.

Soon, Luo Qianqian discovered a significant issue: the contact field under Han Chen’s information was always empty; from childhood to adulthood, the contacts for his parents or emergencies were not filled in at all.

Even if Han Chen was from the Han Family, there was no need for that, right?

Moreover, the elementary and middle schools Han Chen attended were not the best, but they were always top-ranking, so it made no sense for everything to be empty, right?

”Elvis...” Luo Qianqian asked, ”Did you know Han Chen before?”

The bustling noise from the kitchen paused for a moment before he responded, ”I’ve met him.”

Luo Qianqian nodded somewhat understandingly, put down the computer, and felt slightly confused, ”Then do you think he is doing this because he wants to prevent me from attending the gala?”

Elvis sighed, ”You might as well think of it that way.”

Who could really understand the affairs of the Luo Family?

”Right, I took out Teacher Yue’s clothes; are you sure they don’t need washing?” Luo Qianqian spoke idly, to distract herself if she kept sitting, her thoughts would only wander more.

Especially since she was now within Elvis’s territory, having blindly followed Elvis here without thinking. It was a good thing he had no interest in a kid like her; otherwise, wasn’t she just walking straight into the lion’s den?

”Just put them on the couch for now. I’ll return them later, oh and...” Elvis suddenly stuck his head out of the kitchen, ”The stuff in Di Jing’s hands seems to have been switched, just ordinary beads.” He paused, ”That means, the threats to you aren’t from just one person.” He finished, giving Luo Qianqian a deep look, then ducked back into the kitchen.

The sound of frying echoed, and Luo Qianqian stopped speaking.

Luo Qianqian was stunned, the events of yesterday still replaying in her mind, Di Jing’s frantic expression was still vivid in her eyes as well.

She recalled what that person had said earlier, the things Xiu Ran had done for her...

Thinking back on how she hadn’t been sure which person it was at first, Xiu Ran had deliberately revealed a flaw, leading her to suspect him.

At that thought, Luo Qianqian took out her phone and called Qin Nuan, Qin Nuan’s voice, bright and cheerful, came through the phone, ”You left so quickly, I was just thinking about how it’s not quite time for class yet, what’s up?”>

”Check what Xiu Ran gave you for your birthday present.” Luo Qianqian remembered distinctly seeing a gift box on Xiu Ran’s bed before she left the house.

”Huh?” Qin Nuan was taken aback, but still set down her phone, walked over to Xiu Ran’s bed, and indeed, there was a gift box with her name on it. She opened the gift box and froze, inside was the necklace they had seen while shopping last semester.

The price wasn’t very high, but it was more than a student could afford with a month or two’s living expenses.

There was also a letter, Qin Nuan hesitated for a moment then opened it, the letter had only two lines.

Nuannuan:

Happy Birthday, be happy, smile.

I’m sorry.

Picking up her phone, Qin Nuan repeated the words from the letter and then asked in a daze, ”Did something happen to her? Why does it feel like...”

Luo Qianqian sighed, ”My mind is all over the place right now, I was stopped by someone downstairs earlier, they told me I have to go alone to a place to save her...”

”Save?” Qin Nuan blurted out, ”Crap, don’t do anything stupid, where are you now?”>

”I’m with Elvis in the residential district opposite the school.” Luo Qianqian didn’t hide it and explained everything clearly, including the location and people involved.

”I still have her photo in my hand, it looks indeed... pretty bad, and, it seems like she did something for me...” Luo Qianqian was a bit incoherent, her mind too chaotic, ”Nuannuan, do you think I should go?”>

”Of course, go, why wouldn’t you, but he said alone, are you just going to go by yourself? Then you’d be a fool. Today’s my birthday, and as the boss, I’ve decided the first stop of our celebration is to find our roommate!” Qin Nuan’s eyes sparkled, outsiders had no business messing with their dorm issues!

”Who should I call?” Luo Qianqian asked, grimacing. ”Those four who were at morning practice could probably handle two against one, but one on one would likely not lead to a loss.” After all, she still had her Silver Needle.

”My second brother, Qiu Yu, Luo Yanran, and your Xiao Jin, and the others from our dorm... leave your brother out of this, one minor is enough trouble,” Qin Nuan counted on her fingers. ”Right, and that one from the hospital, I’ll call her over noon.”

Luo Qianqian was speechless, ”You might as well just call the police.” Yet, her hands didn’t hesitate as she entered the address into the computer: ”Ouch, he gave me the address of a villa.”

A villa? That seemed like Wang Wei...

Luo Qianqian shook her head, continuing her search, villa owner: Xu Xiaoxiao.

”Xu Xiaoxiao’s villa!” Luo Qianqian exclaimed aloud.

Qin Nuan, however, was not surprised at all. ”Just because it’s written with a name doesn’t mean that it’s the owner.”
