Lan Baobao finished her plans and intentions in one breath.
However, Mu Jiangfeng still frowned, not knowing what was on his mind. After a while, he firmly said, "I won't let you go to Li Xiaoran's place. You can't go find Li Xiaoran!"
"Why not?" She felt frustrated and confused.
Lan Baobao was puzzled and also annoyed by Mu Jiangfeng's directive tone, which was as unpleasant as Ye Zixun's.
She had already regained her freedom and did not want to live the kind of life where she was at the mercy of others again. She wanted to do what she wanted without being bound by anyone.
Right now, the thing she wanted most was to find Li Xiaoran and have a good heart-to-heart talk with her sister, to vent her feelings.
Could it be that even this simple request was something she couldn't achieve?
However, the usually carefree Lan Baobao seemed not to have fully realized that she was living almost like a fugitive now.
Mu Jiangfeng might have also sensed that his tone was a bit harsh, so he softened his approach and said, "What I mean is, you just escaped from the Ye Family. It's better if fewer people know about it. Ye Zixun will definitely notice you're missing when he returns and will start searching for you frantically. Li Xiaoran is your best friend; Ye Zixun will surely think you would go to her!"
"You don't need to worry about that. Xiaoran is on my side; she won't easily expose my whereabouts."
So that was what he was concerned about. However, Lan Baobao felt that Mu Jiangfeng was overthinking it. After all, she had been friends with Li Xiaoran for many years and trusted her best friend completely. How could she possibly betray her?
Yet Mu Jiangfeng continued insistently, "While Li Xiaoran won't betray you, as a good sister, you can't betray her either!
You should know about Ye Zixun's methods. Once he discovers you've escaped from the Ye Family, he will mobilize all his resources to find you. The first place he would think of for your hiding spot is probably Li Xiaoran's place. If he goes looking for her, there's no guarantee she won't slip up. If Ye Zixun finds out, wouldn't that put her in danger? The two of you together wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in Ye Zixun's teeth! You are his wife; he might just take you back and lock you in a room, keeping watch on you twenty-four hours a day. But Li Xiaoran is different; she has no ties to Ye Zixun. Do you think he would let her off easily? In less than three days, Li Xiaoran could end up with nothing!"
Yeah, why hadn't she thought of that?
If Ye Zixun catches Xiao Xiao, she will definitely not let her go.
Thinking this way, Mu Jiangfeng's reasoning seemed quite valid. Although Li Xiaoran was righteous, he was also a fool with weak psychological resilience.
Ye Zixun was strong and cunning, and she acted without mercy. If something went wrong in the process, the consequences would be unimaginable. Lan Baobao thought of this and couldn't help but shiver.
"There are still some things I need to clarify with you."
In order to convince Lan Baobao, Mu Jiangfeng continued to analyze, "If you appear near Li Xiaoran's house and are seen by surveillance or someone with ulterior motives, Ye Zixun will easily be able to track your whereabouts.
At that time, you won't have anywhere to hide, and it will still implicate Li Xiaoran.
So my suggestion is this:
You should hide for a while. Wait until Ye Zixun has searched all the places she needs to search and won't go to Li Xiaoran's house anymore before you look for Li Xiaoran. That would be much safer and provide some assurance.
Think about it carefully; my words make sense, right?"
"Um... thinking about it, what you said really makes a lot of sense!"
After listening to Mu Jiangfeng's words, Lan Baobao nodded repeatedly, starting to genuinely admire Mu Jiangfeng's meticulous thinking and exceptional analytical skills. Fortunately, she had Mu Jiangfeng by her side; otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she would end up in trouble.
"Mu Jiangfeng, I'm so glad you're here! Otherwise, I would have gotten into big trouble again!"
Lan Baobao swallowed nervously, panic written all over her face as she pulled out her phone from her pocket, trembling as she pressed the buttons and said, "Then I'll call Xiaoran first to tell her my plan!"
Unexpectedly, Mu Jiangfeng snatched the phone from her hand without hesitation, skillfully removing the back cover in one smooth motion, taking out the SIM card and throwing it out of the car window.
"Mu Jiangfeng, what are you doing?!"
Lan Baobao was still processing what had just happened when she watched helplessly as her SIM card was tossed away. She had just topped it up with two hundred dollars for convenience in case she needed to escape.
There were many phone numbers saved on that card, and she hadn’t noted them down anywhere. This was a disaster; her phone!
Lan Baobao glared at Mu Jiangfeng. This guy, she had just praised him a little and now he was getting carried away, acting like he was invincible.
"Lan Baobao, don't you know that phones can be tracked now? That phone was bought for you by Ye Zixun, right?
You don’t know what kind of tricks they might be playing; it's better not to use it."
Mu Jiangfeng said calmly, pulling out a brand new customized phone from his pocket and handing it to Lan Baobao. "The previous phone definitely had some software linked to it. As soon as you make a call from there, Ye Zixun will be able to trace it.
For now, use this phone. It’s an old model from our family, a customized phone that won’t be monitored or tracked, ensuring your safety."
Lan Baobao was completely speechless. This guy must have been an agent before!
How could he think of everything so clearly? She never realized it before, but now she found out that his mind was as meticulous as Ye Zixun's—both had terrifyingly thorough brains!
However, the new phone only had Mu Jiangfeng's number saved in it. What did that mean?
He thought that Lan Baobao's mind had developed to the point where she could easily remember everyone's contact information? Impossible! She couldn't even remember Li Xiaoran's number!
Seeing Lan Baobao staring blankly at the empty contact list on her phone, Mu Jiangfeng guessed her thoughts and said, "During this time, it's better for you not to contact anyone, especially Li Xiaoran.
If Li Xiaoran finds out that you've escaped, there's no telling what kind of trouble might arise. For safety's sake, let's wait for half a month. I'll contact her for you then."
Right now, that was of no use. Lan Baobao looked helpless, slumped in the car like a deflated balloon. It didn't matter who was who anymore; she couldn't even remember Li Xiaoran's phone number, so how could she make contact?
Not only Li Xiaoran, but she also couldn't remember Brother Mu's phone number, Ye Zixun's number, or Amy's number.
If she had known this would happen, she would have memorized those numbers earlier!
Lan Baobao looked out the window. Her mood had been good just a moment ago, but suddenly it turned gloomy.
She originally thought that escaping from the Ye Family would mean freedom and that she could do whatever she wanted. Who knew there would still be so much to deal with afterward? She had to hide for half a month!
That meant going back to that kind of dark life without sunlight for another half month!
Just thinking about it made her head feel like it was going to explode. She had initially planned to surprise Li Xiaoran, and now look at her situation.
She couldn't even send her a text message, let alone go shopping with Li Xiaoran.
It turned out that the world was the same everywhere; no matter where she was, she was not free.
"Baby, seeing you so anxious makes me uneasy too!" Mu Jiangfeng said softly. "Don't be upset; I'm doing this all for your sake."
You struggled hard to escape from Ye Zixun, and I don't want you to be caught by him again before you truly gain your freedom. Li Xiaoran is also my friend, and I don't want anything to happen to her.
Baby, I'm thinking of you, so please don't be angry!
"I'm not angry. I know you're doing this for my sake. I'm just a little frustrated, that's all. It's not a big deal."
Alright, I'll do whatever you say. I won't resist anymore.
Lan Baobao leaned against the soft seat cushion, feeling weak. After all, Mu Jiangfeng was doing this for her own good. He could have stayed as the boss of a big company but chose to help her with such matters. Lan Baobao was already very grateful; he didn't have to get involved in this mess.
Lan Baobao wasn't an unreasonable person; she knew what was good and what wasn't.
In the end, Lan Baobao still complied with Mu Jiangfeng.
"Then I won't go to Li Xiaoran's place for now. Do you know of any hotels where I can stay for a while?"
Mu Jiangfeng would never let her stay at a hotel.
This rare opportunity must not be wasted!
"Hotels aren't very safe either. People in City A who do business all know Ye Zixun. If he says he wants to find you, the hotel owners will definitely stab you in the back!"
"I can't stay at Li Xiaoran's place either. So where am I supposed to sleep? You can't expect me to sleep out in the wilderness!" Lan Baobao was feeling a bit annoyed.
After the Ye Family incident, there were still so many things happening, it was truly frustrating!
"Don't worry, I won't let you sleep out in the wild.
I've already prepared a place for you!
I've found a safe place where you can stay. You can live there for now, and I'll take care of everything else for you," Mu Jiangfeng said calmly.
Lan Baobao only thought that Mu Jiangfeng was helping her out of righteousness, without realizing that if a person acts without any self-interest, how could they be so dedicated?
To Mu Jiangfeng, Lan Baobao was the most anticipated source of benefit.
His dedication to helping her was not entirely for her sake.
Instead, under the pretense of looking out for her, he was cutting off all her escape routes.
Without a phone, no one would know where she was staying.
Lan Baobao was almost isolated and helpless outside, with only Mu Jiangfeng knowing her whereabouts.
