Chapter 3: Cold and Noble

  Remember in one second

  Although it might be Zhang Jialian's consolation, this still made Xue Sihong very happy, just like a child who got candy, the shallow dimples on her lips were particularly touching. Zhang Jialian sat on one side, slightly appreciating for a moment before shifting his gaze to the window outside. Xue Sihong couldn't drive, and relying solely on him alone, there was no way he could push the car out. Fortunately, the call for help had already been made, and he believed that the police would arrive soon.

  It's also a good time to be quiet and not move, just carefully observe the situation around us. A kidnapping of this level definitely won't just involve these three people, if their accomplices come, it'll be terrible.

  Xue SiLing was not pleased to see Zhang JiaLian's distraction, but she knew better than to show it. She silently cursed him as a "foolish wooden head" and instead focused on appreciating her savior. To be honest, she felt extremely happy now, so much so that she almost wanted to thank the kidnappers who had brought her endless fear earlier, for they had also brought her this beautiful memory.

  Girls always like to fantasize, and often get lost in their own world for a long time. This kind of heroic rescue story often appears in various movies and books, and is popular but still enjoyable to hear. Almost every girl has had such a dream, but few have really experienced it. Xue Siyun met him, and that hero was the one she most wanted to see, Zhang Jialian. How could this not make her suddenly forget her boundless fear and cherish her current happiness?

  However, Zhang Jialian didn't have the good mood like Xue Sihong to freely fantasize, he also wanted to seriously think about what had just happened. To know that he was clearly shot! How could he suddenly return to before being shot?! But? He couldn't calm down and think in this dangerous situation, this knot in his heart made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

  Fortunately, after a while, a loud police siren sounded from afar and got closer, and Zhang Jialian finally fell into deep thought, his mind full of doubts. To say that rebirth was already quite unbelievable, but this clearly died from gunshot wounds, yet suddenly returned to the scene before being shot, it's even more unthinkable.

  Could it be that being shot and dying is just an illusion? That's even more impossible, having the mind to produce such a realistic illusion when being fiercely stabbed by a large man holding a dagger. How big of a nerve would one need to have to achieve this? I'm not that kind of person, nor have I ever taken any banned drugs.

  Could it be that the heavens themselves were afraid of not being strong enough, so they not only gave rebirth but also granted the power to rewind time?

  Zhang Jialian began to mutter to himself: Go back to saving Little Loli, go back to smashing the female thief, go back..., go back before getting shot.

  No matter how hard he tried to recall, he never succeeded, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself. What kind of incredible ability was this? With such a power, wouldn't all difficulties become trivial, and he could just let go and do whatever he wanted? At worst, if he wasn't satisfied, he could just rewind time again.

  "This is truly absurd! Zhang Jialian couldn't help but think to himself how ridiculous he was, however, thinking about the extremely realistic feeling of being shot just now made him firmly believe that he had indeed traveled back in time. Not being able to grasp such a superpower is really unbearable."

  Suddenly, Zhang Jialian felt that his movements seemed a bit unnatural, and then he heard the voice "So you forgive me?" and looked to the side, only to see Xue Sihong with her hands clasped together, looking at him expectantly, with tears of grievance still lingering in her eyes. Hadn't he experienced this scene before?! Zhang Jialian couldn't help but feel his heart shrink, could it be that he really had the superpower of time reversal?!

  "It's really frustrating!" Zhang Jialian keenly discovered that this seemed to be the key to the problem, and without hesitation, he silently recited it again in his heart. His body moved slightly, and he heard a voice in his ear saying "Excuse me?" Zhang Jialian excitedly recited it again in his heart, and indeed, it was the sound of "?" (le). Reciting it once more, he met Xue Siyun's expectant gaze.

  That's awesome! I really have the superpower of time reversal now!

  Zhang Jialian excitedly clenched his fists, and the flow of time reversed. What a heaven-defying superpower this is! With him, everything can be changed, with him, the future can be foreseen, and even (sex) life can be enjoyed several more times. It's truly a divine helper for daily life, travel, work, and everything!

  Heaven, rest assured! I will remember your kindness to me and strive to live up to your expectations. The principle of "with great power comes great responsibility" is forever etched in my mind. Zhang Jialian was even excited to the point of being speechless.

  However, at this time the police sirens sounded loudly, and more than a dozen police cars rushed over, leaving no room for Zhang Jialian to continue his experiment. He followed Xue Silian down from the car and watched as the police cars rushed over, he couldn't help but secretly sigh: In this dark night, they were able to arrive so quickly, it's really hard for them, if all emergency responses had such efficiency, why worry about the social security situation not returning to what it was 40 years ago.

  The car had just stopped when a tall and handsome third-class police officer rushed down from the first car, looking like he was only in his early twenties. It's amazing that someone so young has already become a third-class police officer, showing that he is a capable and talented person. These two qualities are indispensable, but if one had to be lacking, then the former could also be dispensed with.

  。

  "Xue sister, are you alright?" The third-class supervisor rushed forward excitedly, looking at Xue Sihong with a delighted expression and asked softly.

  "Ah, it's nothing. This is my lifesaver, Zhang Jialian. If not for him, I'd be in trouble." Xue Silian nodded politely at the third-level police officer, her face calm and serene as always when she was on campus. However, when she looked back at Zhang Jialian, her eyes were filled with admiration. No wonder people say that a woman's expression can change like the pages of a book.

  This made the third-class police supervisor feel extremely disappointed and jealous, but in front of Xue SiLing, he couldn't lose his temper. He adjusted his mood and gave Zhang JiaLian a slight smile, sincerely thanking him: "Hello, I'm Lu JianJun. Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, if you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate! In Shanghai, just mention my name, at least in the public security sector, I still have some face." Lu JianJun's smile was very sunny and his attitude was very sincere, but how could Zhang JiaLian, a man of two worlds, not sense the hidden hostility and arrogance within him?

  No wonder people always say "beautiful women are a calamity"! This is indeed the case, clearly it's a heroic act of justice, bravely fighting against evil, yet this can be viewed with hostility by a young and promising third-class police supervisor, truly an unprovoked disaster.

  However, Zhang Jialian didn't take it to heart. With the Time Reversal Device, what was there to be afraid of? The world was vast, and he could go wherever he wanted. Moreover, he wasn't planning on having much contact with this arrogant little brat anyway. After all, he was also the lifesaver of his admired object, so it wasn't like he would hold a grudge against himself just because Xue Sihong admired him. People with such narrow minds weren't worth befriending anyway.

  The third-level police officer saw Zhang Jialian just being polite, and his heart was even more unhappy. Xue Silian saw the situation, frowned, and was about to speak when two Audis rushed up quickly. A beautiful figure pushed open the car door and ran over, wearing a white silk embroidered flower long dress, with proud double peaks, slender legs, all perfect. Her black hair was high on her head, her neck was crystal clear and slender, and her cold eyes shone like ice springs on her absolutely beautiful face. Her nose was straight and elegant, her full lips were tightly closed, revealing a pride and determination that no one could sway at any time!

  What a cold, elegant and noble woman. The intangible aura of rejection emanating from her body is enough to make the vast majority of men who covet beauty retreat in awe, knowing that it's difficult to conquer! But at the same time, it can also ignite the desire for conquest in the hearts of men who yearn to subdue.

  "Ah." The woman ran up, her chest heaving with each step, combining with her cold and elegant face to make her even more alluring. Zhang Jialian believed that every man present had already etched this beautiful scene into their memory, one that they would not forget for a long time.

  Xue Silian also ran over to the woman and shouted: "Mom!

  Her words caused a few involuntary gasps of surprise. No one had expected that this elegant and refined woman, who looked no more than thirty years old, would be Xue Si Liang's mother! Rather than her sister or younger aunt. This pair of exquisite mother-daughter flowers standing together instantly made the bright moon in the sky seem to lose its luster. It was truly enviable for someone to have married such a beauty and given birth to another little beauty.

  However, everyone knows that neither the big nor the small ones are what they can afford. Just look at the license plates of these two Audi cars and you'll know that there won't be more than a handful of families in Shanghai who can match theirs.

  She reached out to hold her daughter's shoulders, and after a careful examination for a moment, those clear eyes like cold springs also showed a warm expression. With a worried tone, she said: "Lianlian, Lianlian, you scared Mom to death!"

  Zhang Jialian could feel the love of this mother for her daughter, a kind of heart-wrenching love that comes from deep within. In fact, this is relatively rare in large families, and compared to ordinary families, the emotions between people in large families are undoubtedly much less.

  The third-level police officer saw the arrival of this cold and elegant woman, immediately walked up with a smile on his face and respectfully asked: "Auntie, hello."

  "Little Lu, you've worked hard!" Wen Rutong was polite for a moment. The old man of the Lu family was also very energetic, and Lu Jianjun's character and talent were not bad either. This was already considered good among children from similar families. However, his own daughter did not like him, which was also an unavoidable thing. Emotional matters could not be forced, and the old man's excessive doting on Lingling had not required her to agree to this political marriage, giving her a lot of freedom. This made Wen Rutong unable to intervene, anyway, Lingling was still young, and whether it was appearance, personality, or family background, she was all top-notch, so she wasn't in a hurry either.

  "It's nothing, it's nothing, this is what I should do!" Lu Jianjun humbly said, he knew that his score with Xue Siyun was not high, but he didn't give up, because he understood the principle of "curve to save the country". To marry a wife, you have to first win over her mother! As long as the mother-in-law agrees, plus his own hard work, he firmly believes that he can definitely marry Xue Siyun, such a beautiful and delicate girl.

  Xue Sihong grasped Wen Ruyi's hand, smiling and pointing to Zhang Jialian waiting by the car. "Mom, this is my lifesaver, Zhang Jialian, also the senior I often mentioned to you." When introducing Zhang Jialian, Xue Sihong was like a blooming flower, her dimples slightly visible, looking stunningly beautiful. This made Wen Ruyi and Lu Jianjun's hearts tighten, even the most foolish person could see that this was an outward manifestation of a girl's infatuation.
