Tang Zhi pursed her lips tightly and didn’t say anything. However, she stared at Tang Qian firmly.

The siblings confronted each other for a while, but in the end, they could not persuade her and lost.

Perhaps no one knew that in front of the famous Deputy Director Tang, as long as Tang Zhi persisted, he had never won.

Sometimes, even he could not understand how a little girl who he had watched grow up could have such stubbornness.

After they watched her leave and close the door, the study returned to silence.

The warm hue of the light distracted him.

When Tang Zhi was ten years old, she went out to play with Old Master Tang and was kidnapped.

The kidnappers were evil and demanded 100 million yuan as ransom.

When the Tang family finally gathered the ransom, only Tang Zhi was saved.

No one knew what happened during that period.

When they found them, they only saw the scrawny and petite Tang Zhi hugging Old Master Tang, who was covered in blood and sitting motionlessly in the rain. His eyes were vacant and lifeless. His body was cold and his face was so pale that there was no trace of color on it.

At that moment, they even thought that Tang Zhi wouldn’t have the will to live anymore.

After returning to the Tang family, Tang Zhi didn’t speak for a month. She locked herself in his room and refused to say anything.

In the end, Old Madam Tang went in personally and said something before Tang Zhi walked out of the room.

As he thought about these past events, Tang Qian’s gaze became a little dazed.

Back then, those kidnappers were caught, but the mastermind had yet to be found.

…

On an unknown road in the mountainous region of Ningjiang County, Rong University’s convoy was driving unsteadily. Everyone was feeling a little frustrated.

Only Tang Zhi was sitting in the last row. She wore a black cap that revealed the lower half of her exquisite and beautiful face. She leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to rest. She was very quiet.

Because the research target was children from the mountainous regions, Rong University specially arranged for the most remote town in Ningjiang County.

Before they reached the place, there were already people who couldn’t take it anymore.

“Why did the car stop?”

A commotion came from outside. Tang Zhi slowly opened her eyes and saw Sun Yutong walking over with a worried expression.

“It rained a few days ago and the road to town was blocked by a collapsed mountain. The car can’t drive over. I’m afraid we have to walk the rest of the way.”

“Then let’s go.”

Tang Zhi picked up the black hiking bag beside her seat and got out of the car in a few steps.

Sun Yutong froze for a moment before he followed up and said, “I asked around, and it’ll take about two hours to walk over here. Everyone has brought quite a bit of luggage, so I’m afraid it’ll be very tiring. The teachers and students leading the team are all discussing, and the boys will be responsible for carrying the luggage that the girls can’t carry.”

“If you have anything, give it to me too. I’ll help you get it.”

Tang Zhi looked at the backpack behind her. “Thank you, but there’s no need. I don’t have many things so I can take them myself.”

Yesterday, Madam Li had prepared a lot of things for her, but she only picked out some essentials.

“Is that all you brought?”

Sun Yutong was also a little surprised. Almost all the other girls had brought quite a few things with them.

“Yes, it’s enough.”

Tang Zhi didn’t explain further and walked towards the crowd.

The person leading the team this time was a mentor from the psychology department of Rong University. At this moment, he was also a little anxious.

“Let’s get moving as soon as we’ve distributed the items. We’ll have to walk for another two hours or it won’t be safe until dark. I have to be responsible for everyone’s safety.”

Instantly, everyone in the student team felt dejected..
