The voice was loud, startling even Bai Suxiang beside him.
"What's going on?"
Fu Ruhai asked in bewilderment.
Liu Sandao pointed to his Fortune Manual, and Fu Ruhai suddenly remembered Fang Huiran taking the fortune fruits.
"Listen to me!"
Fu Ruhai explained Fang Huiran's situation to Liu Sandao using arcane secret language. Bai Suxiang watched the two of them as if they were staring at each other blankly, which was truly perplexing.
Liu Sandao, from what Fu Ruhai and the messenger had said, figured out the whole story:
Fang Huiran had taken the fortune fruits from Fu Ruhai and sold them to that messenger.
This happened during the days preparing for the fortune fruit press conference. No wonder that messenger had proposed settling with fortune fruits; he must have already known their benefits at the time.
...
Fang Huiran, having neither obtained the fortune fruits nor exchanged them for money, left Yaotian Building in a very bad mood.
After all, the amount of money she had to repay was enough to crush her.
It was five hundred thousand yuan. Even if she did that kind of thing, she couldn't repay it in a short time.
She had originally planned to take ten fortune fruits and sell them to that messenger, but instead of meeting Fu Ruhai, she awkwardly met that messenger.
Even if she could produce ten fortune fruits, she couldn't sell them for five hundred thousand yuan.
But now, even a hundred thousand yuan was a pipe dream for her.
Therefore, Fang Huiran, after leaving the Yaotian Building, did not choose to take the bus back to school.
In fact, she had already graduated and rented a place near the school.
But at this moment, she didn't want to go back at all.
Because returning to that small room would only make her feel more depressed.
Yaotian Building was not far from the banks of the Guazi River, and Fang Huiran, by some strange impulse, decided to walk along the Guazi River.
Actually, at this time, she was helpless.
After her last suicide attempt, many of her friends had distanced themselves from her.
As for Zhao Xiaoying, although she hadn't distanced herself, her own situation didn't seem to be great either.
So, at this moment, she suddenly felt that life had become even more precarious.
She kept asking herself:
"Where exactly am I lacking? Why are others always well-provided for, always shining, always possessing irresistible beauty?..."
Thinking and walking, after an unknown period of time, she again thought of death as her best escape.
To leave this world sooner, to find release sooner.
After her last suicide attempt, many people said she had depression.
She didn't feel depressed at all; she just felt she didn't have enough money to make herself more beautiful.
For the sake of beauty, she had undergone countless surgeries, spending a lot of money.
Up to now, this was the one where the chief surgeon guaranteed the best results.
But it required five hundred thousand yuan.
Wu Caixia had once said that many tycoons or second-generation rich people simply liked young and beautiful women, and if she could hook up with a wealthy man, it would be worth any amount of money.
She had not dared to think about it before, nor did she want to.
As long as she could become beautiful, become a star, she could earn a lot of money.
But after so many hardships, she still realized how important it was to hook up with a wealthy man.
Unfortunately, with her current circumstances.
...
Thinking about these things, Fang Huiran unconsciously wrote on her phone:
"Farewell, this world, and my friends here. May you all be happy and healthy for the rest of your lives!"
She posted it on her social media, along with a profile picture of herself.
The photo had been taken by someone else, with the red light show of Yaotian Building in the background.
...
"Quick, help me see where this is?"
Bai Suxiang said, immediately handing her phone to Liu Sandao.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening.
It happened to be Friday, and they had originally planned to go for hot pot together after work, but then Zhao Xiaoying called and asked her to check her social media.
Bai Suxiang didn't know until she looked, and then she was shocked.
Fang Huiran's state was not right again!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have posted those farewell words. The time was frozen at: 19:30.
"Isn't this opposite Guazi River Park?"
Fu Ruhai chimed in.
"Then let's go quickly, Fang Huiran might try to commit suicide again!"
This statement reminded everyone of that night's scene.
This Fang Huiran was really restless.
However, it was strange that the Fortune Manual showed no sign of movement.
Although fortune fruits were now uniformly released by the Fortune Fruit System, the Fortune Manual would still show a reaction when it was close to the recipient.
Even if it was far away, the vibration might be weak, but it would never be absent.
Liu Sandao deliberately paid attention to his Fortune Manual; there was absolutely no reaction.
He quickly sent a signal to Fu Ruhai using arcane secret language. Fu Ruhai's Fortune Manual was the same, with no reaction at all.
"Let's split up and search. You two take a taxi and quickly go and check, walking along the west bank of the river. I'll go along the east bank. It's been half an hour, and I'm afraid she's no longer in her original position!
Also, remember to call her. This might buy us some time!"
Liu Sandao said, and then ran off in another direction.
Fu Ruhai and Bai Suxiang took a taxi and drove along the west bank of the Guazi River to search.
There was a riverside road on the west bank of the Guazi River, offering views of the river.
Although it was night, the riverside was still crowded.
Liu Sandao chose to go alone because he could reach it instantly, but it was difficult to fool Bai Suxiang with such a magical ability.
As for why Fu Ruhai went, it was to reassure Bai Suxiang.
It wouldn't do for a girl to ask for help, and then two grown men to abandon her and run off, would it?
Liu Sandao used his magic and instantly arrived at the Guazi River.
However, the Fortune Manual showed no unusual vibration.
When Liu Sandao saw Fang Huiran, he was already in the river.
He didn't choose to go into the mineral water bottle in Fang Huiran's backpack. Firstly, the bottle cap was screwed on tightly, and bursting out like that would scare people to death; secondly, he wasn't sure if she had drunk any more mineral water after so long.
Liu Sandao saw the most suitable spot and leaped out.
He did not disturb Fang Huiran immediately.
His appearance at this time was inappropriate; Fang Huiran had no intention of committing suicide, she was just walking along the river.
Bai Suxiang and Fu Ruhai got into a taxi and quickly arrived at the Guazi River embankment road, but after a long time, they still hadn't seen Fang Huiran.
Bai Suxiang was anxious and kept urging the driver to "Hurry up!"
To the point where the driver became impatient and said, "If she wants to die, she wants to die, why are you rushing? Do you want to meet the King of Hell too?"
Bai Suxiang, perhaps realizing her words, did not engage with the driver but said indirectly, "I'm sorry, driver! You see, I'm just anxious to save my classmate, please forgive me!"
The driver stopped talking.
Fu Ruhai, on the other hand, was calm. He knew Liu Sandao had already gone.
Even if the Grim Reaper arrived, he wouldn't be able to take Fang Huiran away in a moment.
