Han Xiang thought of Chang Ying's racing talent and his outstanding performance in the future. She asked, "Do you like racing cars?"
"Hey, I'm just repairing a car. How would you know that I like...?"
Chang Ying still wanted to retort. Looking at Han Xiang's clear eyes, he mumbled, "I can't hide anything from you. You're so cunning."
However, in the original book, Chang Ying had become famous and became a professional racer many years later. His "older" identity was also a hot topic until he won the first race championship for Z Nation in nearly ten years. The name "Chang Ying" was truly put on the altar.
However, racing was also a profession where one had to be youthful. After playing for a few years, Chang Ying had no choice but to withdraw from the racing industry due to his declining physical condition. This also broke the hearts of many fans.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Han Xiang was a little puzzled. Such a talented athlete should not be buried anywhere.
"Pfft, do you think that this road can be taken by the children of poor families? You can't do anything without money."
Chang Ying answered as he fastened the screw, adding, "I don't want your money. Your pocket money is not enough. I've been working as a sparring partner at the car racing club recently, and their salary is quite high."
Was it about money? Han Xiang suddenly remembered that Grandpa Han had given her a card with 20 million yuan in it.
When she checked the balance, she couldn't even count the zeros. She was shocked by this number for a long time before she recovered. Moreover, this card had her account name. It was different from the debit card that the Han couple had given her. No one would be able to find out anything about it, so it was very convenient for her to do something secretly.
In other words, this was a gift that Grandpa Han had given to Han Xiang. It was a gift that belonged solely to her, and no one else knew about it.
However, Han Xiang did not try to mention it. She knew that if she wanted be friends with Chang Ying, it would be best not to mention anything about the difference in social class between the two of them.
For a moment, there was silence. Chang Ying focused on fixing the car. Han Xiang picked up a small stool and quietly watched Chang Ying fiddle with the things.
"Eh? You really don't remember things from the past?" Chang Ying suddenly spoke and looked at Han Xiang, who was holding her chin in a daze.
"Yes." Han Xiang nodded.
"Then you still remember me. At least you have a conscience, Haha."
When Chang Ying heard this, he was both happy and sad. Then, he added, "Then are you still prepared to subsidize the Welfare Institute? A few days ago, the director called and asked you to stop giving things. He wants you to focus on your studies."
"Of course, I have to continue. It was you who gave the stuff to them, not me."
Han Xiang did not hesitate and answered very straightforwardly.
Ever since she went to the Welfare Institute with Chang Ying the last time, Han Xiang understood where the original protagonist's time and pocket money were spent.
She saved up to buy clothes, food, stationery, and books for the children. She also invested money into the renovation of the Welfare Institute. She came here every day. Even if the director did not allow her to come, she would ask Chang Ying to send something over.
Chang Ying was also a child of the Welfare Institute. No one had adopted him. When he became an adult, he started to work at an auto repair factory and could support himself.
"Hmm... When you were kidnapped, how did you escape?" When Chang Ying mentioned this, he looked at Han Xiang hesitantly.
Han Xiang naturally began to recall and slowly explained the incident to Chang Ying.
Who knew that after Chang Ying finished listening, he would ask, "Do you feel that... something is not right?"
Something was not right? Han Xiang immediately reacted. Chang Ying must have noticed something was not right.
"I don't know. When my parents went to investigate, the police said that it was a sudden kidnapping case on the street. The arrested human trafficker said that he saw that I was alone and beautiful, and that I could be sold for a good price, so he had evil intentions."
The lucrative business of child trafficking happened everywhere. No matter how much they tried to investigate, there was no result, so the Han couple gave up.
"What were you going to do at that time?" Chang Ying stopped what she was doing and stared at her seriously.
"I forgot, but the according to the confession of the human trafficker, he knocked me out near the Huadu District residential area and took me away."
"Huadu District? You were here to look for me?!"
When Han Xiang heard this, she immediately understood. That was right, the Huadu District was nearby. The original protagonist had gone to look for Chang Ying!
When he found out about this, Chang Ying frowned. As if he remembered something, he stood up and said, "Let's go. Han Xiang, you'll come with me!"
Chang Ying's motorcycle sped all the way to a street.
And this was near the Huadu District where Han Xiang was abducted.
The Huadu District was an old, open community. It had been built as early as the last century. When the city developed, it became a suburb. It was more like a pile of dilapidated buildings, with dirty alleys shuttling through.
Chang Ying threw a helmet at Han Xiang, motioning her to put it on. Then he led Han Xiang into a dilapidated billiard hall and went straight inside.
Han Xiang followed closely, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she was still a step too late.
