Chapter 475: Chapter 476: Inescapable Nightmare 1

But the people here really like a lively atmosphere and making friends.

Not just neighbors facing each other, but the entire street, everyone is quite familiar with each other.

In the evenings, many people would walk from one end of the street to the other to visit, playing mahjong together or watching TV, harmonious like one big family.

Mo Ran observed all this, and in her heart, she deeply envied this way of life.

It was this simple way of living that touched her, allowing her to slowly forget her past sorrows, and she gradually became more cheerful.

The neighbors around her were all kind, knowing she was from out of town, a stranger in a strange land, and everyone was willing to help her.

They helped her get familiar with the town, with many local customs, and even found her a dishwashing job, paying six hundred dollars a month.

While that sum seemed very small, it was enough for her to live on for a month in the town.

Just like that, Mo Ran began a new life, a very simple life.

Every day, she worked, clocked out, chatted with neighbors for a while, or joined them in a game of mahjong, and then returned to her room to wash up and rest.

The days passed unconsciously, and two months had gone by.

Time neither long nor short, but whenever Mo Ran remembered her past, it all seemed like a distant dream.

It felt as though those memories were now far, far away from her.

Here, she had a new life, and she hoped that she could continue living here, undisturbed by anything else.

In W City, at the top floor of the Gu Family’s towering building, within the spacious and luxurious office.

A man in a white shirt and black vest sat in a swivel leather chair, hands crossed under his chin, spinning the chair, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire wall.

Outside the window, a passenger plane flew by; his gaze followed the plane, somewhat wistful.

Ranran, where on earth have you gone?

Do you think that by running away, I won’t be able to find you?

No matter where you escape to, I’ll find you, no matter the ends of the earth!

"Knock, knock, knock!" Polite knocking sounded from the door.

Gu Yixuan turned his chair to face his desk and said indifferently, "Come in."

A man dressed in a suit pushed the door open, approached him and respectfully said, "Mr. Gu, I’ve found it. This is what you requested."

The suited man handed over a document bag to him.

Gu Yixuan pulled out the contents, among them pictures of Mo Ran in Gaoshan Town, and records of recent events that occurred in her life.
