"What on earth are you doing, Nanhua?" Ding Ruola stared at the crazy - acting boy in disbelief.
Fang Siyan also noticed that there was something unusual about this boy.
It seemed that the boy's target wasn't Ding Ruola. Instead, his eyes were mostly fixed on Ding Ruola's wrist.
Fang Siyan followed the boy's gaze and noticed the lucky charm on Ding Ruola's hand.
"Old Fang, he has a strange personality, but he really means no harm!" Ding Ruola showed an embarrassed expression on her face. She stepped closer to Nanhua and reached out to stroke the boy's back.
"We're off work now! You can go home!"
After the girl said that, this time when she left with Fang Siyan, Nanhua didn't stop them.
After they got in the car, the first thing Fang Siyan said was, "Fire that guy!"
Fang Siyan couldn't figure out the boy's intention, but he clearly felt that the boy was overly fixated on Ding Ruola.
People with such personalities were dangerous.
He would never allow such a person to stay by Ding Ruola's side.
"His design sense is good. Due to his personality, he hasn't had a job for a year..."
Fang Siyan knew that Ding Ruola was kind - hearted, but on this issue, she shouldn't be so kind.
The two argued vehemently over Nanhua.
"You just don't trust me!" Ding Ruola shook off Fang Siyan's hand. She strode back to her room and slammed the door shut.
The two didn't talk the next morning either. Fang Siyan knew that cold - war couldn't solve the problem, but he thought he was right this time.
When Ding Ruola arrived at the company, she found that Nanhua hadn't gone home last night and had slept in the company.
Speaking of going home, Ding Ruola suddenly remembered that the personnel department had said that Nanhua hadn't filled in his address on the employee information form.
She gently placed her bag and documents on the table and was about to start working when suddenly she heard someone calling her.
She slowly turned around and saw the boy with a messy head of hair, half - closed eyes. The boy spread out his hands, and there was a pair of stud earrings in them. They were simply in the shape of a swan.
"What's this?" Ding Ruola looked at the earrings. Even if the boy wanted to give them to her, she didn't have pierced ears.
Moreover, the boy hadn't had a job for a long time and probably didn't have a stable income. She definitely couldn't accept this pair of earrings.
Ding Ruola waved her hand, rejecting the boy's kindness.
She thought Nanhua would stop there, but what was more exaggerated was yet to come.
She saw with her own eyes the boy take out a transparent box.
Nanhua opened the box and poured the things inside onto the table. He pointed at the pile of things, basically indicating for Ding Ruola to choose for herself.
This pile of things was like a dragon's treasure. There were rings, earrings, and necklaces.
What made Ding Ruola even more curious was that these items all glistened with a silver sheen.
Could they all be platinum? Ding Ruola couldn't believe it. She tentatively stepped closer and picked up a ring.
There were anti - slip lines on this ring. These thin lines were uneven, and Ding Ruola noticed a faint red glow in the gaps of the lines.
The more she looked, the stranger it seemed.
This ring was obviously used by someone. Why did Nanhua collect these things and put them together?
Ding Ruola returned the ring to the boy.
Nanhua thought Ding Ruola didn't like the ring, so he put a necklace into Ding Ruola's hand.
The moment Ding Ruola received the necklace, countless memories flooded her mind. Among them was a scene - a woman wearing a very similar necklace around her neck.
Who was this woman in her memory?
She sized Nanhua up and down, thinking that maybe this boy in front of her could give her a little hint to help her remember that woman.
Lin Ke!
This necklace belonged to Lin Ke!
Ding Ruola panicked. She quickly threw the necklace on the ground. Realizing that her reaction was a bit over - the - top, she squatted down to pick it up.
"Sorry! I've been a bit distracted these days!"
Even though Ding Ruola had tried to hide her panic, she could clearly notice that Nanhua's state today was different from the previous days.
At lunchtime, feeling worried, she finally called Fang Siyan.
"Old Fang! Did Lin Ke have a necklace with a ginkgo leaf pendant?"
"Yeah!" Fang Siyan didn't know that the murderer had taken Lin Ke's necklace before leaving, so he didn't think much of it.
Later that day, a light bulb went off in Fang Siyan's mind.
He called the police officer.
"Hey! Was Lin Ke still wearing her necklace before she died?"
"Do you have any new leads?"
Fang Siyan got in touch with the police, and they set off from different places and arrived at the Soraka Studio almost at the same time.
At that time, Ding Ruola still hadn't noticed the problem. Since most of the people in the studio were night owls, they were full of energy at night but would start to feel sleepy in the afternoon.
So the studio had an arrangement for a noon nap.
Ding Ruola was still lying on the table sleeping. She had no idea that there was a person standing beside her.
Nanhua slowly approached Ding Ruola. He looked at the exposed wrist of Ding Ruola and stared at the bracelet on it.
The green ghost jade showed a strange luster under the light.
Just as his hand touched Ding Ruola's wrist, Fang Siyan and his group rushed in.
The police quickly subdued the man and took Nanhua aside.
Hearing the commotion, Ding Ruola looked up and saw this scene.
"Where are those things you mentioned?"
What things? Ding Ruola had just woken up, and her mind couldn't keep up with Fang Siyan's speed of speech.
"Those videos!"
Only then did the girl react. But when she approached the drawer, Nanhua stared at Ding Ruola with a murderous look in his eyes.
Seeing the girl's hesitation, Fang Siyan strode in front of Ding Ruola and directly pulled open the drawer.
There was a transparent box inside, and the box was full of jewelry.
"We'll take these things back for further testing!" One of the policemen took the box from Fang Siyan's hand.
Ding Ruola was terrified. She still didn't understand what was going on. Her face was ashen, and her lips were bloodless.
Nanhua knew Lin Ke. Lin Ke had been working as an adjunct at a vocational college because of financial problems.
That was how the two got to know each other.
As for why Nanhua had snatched jewelry and even committed murder, the police hadn't come up with a reasonable explanation yet.
Naturally, Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan didn't know either.
"I really didn't expect him to be so crazy!"
"As long as you're okay!" Fang Siyan hugged Ding Ruola. Ding Ruola wrapped herself in the quilt.
"Please don't be so kind in the future, okay?" He lowered his head and kissed Ding Ruola's forehead, then her face.
"Old Fang! I - I - I really didn't know!"
Anyone who had come back from the brink of death would be like this.
Moreover, Ding Ruola had trusted Nanhua so much.
Maybe Lin Ke had also trusted Nanhua like this. She hadn't expected Nanhua to turn on her either.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon! Let's go back to our hometown for a few days. You'll forget about this soon."
