Chapter 182 Scams Are Endless Nowadays
and Xie Xiao had even told Qi Yan that he could go back first.
But Qi Yan said, "No way, as a local, I\'ll see if there\'s anything I can do to help."
Mainly, he was concerned about what the three students would do; at least his own family was here, his brother was a policeman, and his father was wealthy, so there shouldn\'t be much of a problem.
Xie Xiao knew he was worried about them.
He didn\'t say much else, just thanked his brother.
The police officer also comforted them, "Really, it\'s fine. You guys saved someone."
But Xie Xiao kept saying, "But I\'m also afraid of retaliation."
Indeed, this was Xie Xiao\'s primary concern at the moment; no one knew how big the organization behind those men was.
They were definitely worried.
The police officer smiled and said, "Don\'t worry, we will protect you."
At that moment, Wang Wan\'s somewhat panicked voice came from inside, "Where\'s my classmate?"
When the door opened, two police officers came out, paused upon seeing the two additional boys, but quickly pointed inside, "Your classmate is looking for you."

By then, Wang Wan seemed to have developed a dependence on Luo Yanran, becoming anxious whenever she was out of sight.
Even when facing the police, Wang Wan had kept looking towards the door during her statement, appearing very afraid.
It must have been because Luo Yanran had just saved her, so her emotions hadn\'t shifted yet.
Xie Xiao didn\'t move right away, instead looking at Luo Yan and asked, "Do you want to go in?"
Luo Yan nodded, "Let\'s go in."
At this point, leaving Wang Wan alone was out of the question for her, and she was also curious about what had happened.
At this time, their counselor and the school\'s head of student affairs had also arrived.
This was turning into a big incident.
Upon arrival, the head of student affairs went to speak with the police to understand the situation.
The counselor followed them into the ward.
Wang Wan was pale, but her eyes lit up at the sight of Luo Yanran.
Seeing so many people still made her a bit afraid.
Their counselor, Mr. Huang, saw Wang Wan\'s worried expression and asked, "Are you okay? How did all this happen?"
Wang Wan looked at Luo Yanran and asked in a low voice, "Luoluo, can you sit by me?"
Xie Xiao looked at her impassively and pulled Luo Yan into his arms.
Wang Wan was anxiously picking at the blanket underneath her.
Mr. Huang sighed, "It\'s okay, there are police officers all around now."
She hesitated before asking, "Does this have anything to do with Yan Lina?"
After all, just a moment ago, the police had taken Yan Lina away.
Mr. Huang started to panic; one of his students had nearly been kidnapped, and another one had been taken away by the police at the school.
Each incident was already explosive on its own, but now he was dealing with both at the same time, and he was somewhat overwhelmed.
Upon hearing Yan Lina\'s name, Wang Wan\'s face flashed with hatred, "How could it be unrelated to her? She\'s definitely implicated in this!"
Wang Wan\'s body was still trembling uncontrollably; she had always considered Yan Lina a good friend, yet she had nearly been sold out by her!
How ironic!
"I\'ve met her friends before with Yan Lina, and indeed, I\'ve hung out with them, but I was never their girlfriend..."
Wang Wan\'s voice shook as she spoke.
She met Liu Hao and Liu Cun on a camping trip during the National Day holiday, which she went on with Yan Lina. Including them, there were two other couples, so eight of them were out to have fun together.
On that trip, Wang Wan had quite a good time, mainly because Liu Hao and Liu Cun both seemed to take an interest in her.
You see, Wang Wan was just an ordinary-looking girl, one might even say the most ordinary one in her dorm.
Yet on this trip, both Liu Hao and Liu Cun seemed intent on looking out for her.
At that time, she had already added Qi Yan on WeChat but hadn\'t received a reply, which really put her in a bad mood.
Her self-confidence was indeed quite shaken.
Especially when she faced Luo Yanran every day.
"I can only say that at that time, Liu Hao and Liu Cun really satisfied my vanity," she said with a self-mocking laugh.
Anyway, after the two-day camping trip ended, they asked if she and the others were going back to the dorm.
At that moment, Yan Lina said, "We can\'t go back if we don\'t have a place to stay."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Then Liu Cun laughed and said, "We made some money from a project we worked on before, and together with Hao brother, we bought an apartment, a four-bedroom one. If you don\'t have a place to stay, just live there."
Wang Wan was actually afraid and guarded at the time, about to refuse.
But Liu Cun took out the house keys, "We\'ll probably be at the company these few days and won\'t return home."
He seemed nonchalant as he handed the keys to Yan Lina.
"Later, Yan Lina persuaded me to go and see, and somehow I felt it was not bad, so I stayed..." Nothing actually happened in the end.
The two brothers were always out early and back late.
"We ended up staying there for about a week until the holiday was over, then we went back to school..."
Wang Wan\'s voice trembled, perhaps that was the time when the neighbors started to think that she and the Liu brothers were a couple?
Liu Cun then invited her to go shopping with him a few times, and she went.
After the holiday ended, Liu Cun continued to show her a lot of attention and even invited her and Yan Lina over for meals.
They frequently ran into neighbors during these occasions.
"I did have a crush on him, and last night when he asked me out saying he needed to talk, I felt that going to his place wasn\'t a good idea, so I suggested meeting in the morning..."
Wang Wan turned pale as she said this.
Actually, she rejected the late-night meeting because she felt that being alone with him would progress things too quickly.
But he might have thought she had discovered something, especially since she had intentionally not replied to Liu Hao and Liu Cun\'s messages for a week due to the incident with Luo Yan.
Indeed, she had been upset over how they looked at Luo Yanran that day.
But clearly, the brothers had misunderstood her.
They might have thought they were losing their catch.
"When I went over in the morning, Liu Cun was alone at home. I just had a glass of milk and then felt drowsy... When I came to, I was about to be taken to the car, and I realized something was wrong..."
However, she found she couldn\'t shout loudly or struggle; the drug\'s effect had not yet worn off.
It was at this point that Luo Yanran appeared, and she finally managed to scream for help.
When she saw the aunt stopping Luo Yanran, insisting that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, despair almost swallowed Wang Wan.
Fortunately, Luo Yanran was persistent and called for help, prompting others to rush over.
At this point, tears began to flow uncontrollably, and she trembled with fear; it was genuine fear.
Over the years, she had seen too many stories of deceived girls and knew all too well what their fates were.
But this was the first time she\'d been so close to becoming one of those stories herself.
So she was truly terrified.
Seeing her cry like this, Teacher Huang stretched out his arms and hugged her, "It\'s okay, it\'s all over now."
"These scams really are becoming more and more sophisticated," Xie Xiao muttered to Qi Yan in a low voice.
