"Eight … Eight years …" Zhang Ru said bitterly, "Eight years ago, I was just a child. Teacher, you're not even ten years old. What do you know about love? Teacher, even if you're immersed in the river of love, you can't deceive yourself like this. Who would believe such a lie?"
Although Zhang Ru was Jane's student for more than a year, they only met once or twice a week. Most of the time, it was in class. Although she admired Jane, she didn't really know much about her identity.
Therefore, she only knew that Jane was the Princess of Wales. She couldn't accept that a man who didn't look like a successful person would be so close to Jane.
Little girls always lost their way in love. Even someone as wise as Teacher Jane was no exception. Zhang Ru thought.
She looked up and saw Yang Cheng and Jane walking into the elevator together. Zhang Ru felt even more uncomfortable.
She had always regarded Jane as her most respected idol. She couldn't tolerate a man who was completely unworthy of her being with Jane. Moreover, he was a "jobless" who didn't even dare to explain his background!
Biting her lip, Zhang Ru felt that she couldn't ignore it. She took out her phone and dialed a number that she hadn't dialed for a long time.
It didn't take long for the phone to be connected. There was a surprised voice of a man on the other side.
"Xiao Ru?"
"Who else could it be?" Zhang Ru's tone was very cold.
The man smiled gently, "It's really you. I just didn't expect you to be willing to call me. How are you recently? Is work very hard? "
Zhang Ru's face showed a trace of unnaturalness. She took a deep breath and said indifferently, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Director. I'll make it short. I need your help with something. If you're willing, then do it. If not, then forget it. "
The man smiled helplessly, "I knew it. You must have something to ask me."
"Why? Do you think I'm too troublesome? Well, I'm hanging up … "
"Hey! Don't. " The man immediately stopped her with a bitter smile, "I was just saying. It was a slip of the tongue. If you want to talk to me, just say it. As long as it's not against the law, I'll try my best to help you."
The corner of Zhang Ru's mouth twitched slightly. There was a trace of pride in her eyes, "Help me find a man named 'Yang Cheng' who lives in Zhonghai. He should be in his twenties, and he's a returnee …"
"What!? Yang Cheng!? "The man suddenly cried out involuntarily.
"Why are you making a fuss?" Zhang Ru frowned. "Do you know him?"
The man pondered for a moment before saying, "I know him. The one who went to your place in Daehan must be him … You … Why do you want to investigate Yang Cheng?"
"It's good that you know. Tell me everything about him. Who is he?" Zhang Ru asked immediately.
The man sighed, "Xiao Ru, it's not that I want to hide it from you on purpose, but this person … I can't tell you where he came from, because even if I tell you, I'll definitely be lying to you …"
"Enough!" Zhang Ru's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. "I knew you didn't take me seriously at all! You were like this in the past, and you are still like this now. You always talk mysteriously, as if I am trying to get information from you. Aren't you just a small bureau chief? Why do you talk so mysteriously all the time?
Let me tell you, if you don't tell me, I'll investigate it myself. The more you act like this, the more suspicious this person is! "
"Xiao Ru! Listen to me, this person is very dangerous. You must not provoke him … "
Without waiting for the man to finish, Zhang Ru had already hung up the phone. She was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down.
Dangerous? A man who dared to approach Jane must be an extremely daring person. How could he not be dangerous?
If he was a rich businessman or the son of a rich family with a decent background, he would not dare to say his identity. Could it be … some underworld figure?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ru was frightened. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to Jane's background and wanted to plot something?
Right, Buddha Heart Sarira!?
Her teacher said that this Yang Cheng came for the Buddha Heart Sarira. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of her and her teacher's convenience to secretly lay his hands on the sarira?
Although she felt that it was extremely daring, she had to be on guard. After all, he was a person that that person said was "dangerous"!
Just as Zhang Ru was panicking and did not know how to deal with it, a woman's voice called her name from not far away.
"Professor Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Ru raised her head and saw a valiant Korean female police officer in a police uniform walking over from the main entrance.
The female police officer looked to be in her forties, but she maintained her appearance well. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were slender. She wore a police cap and looked very neat.
"Captain Huang." Zhang Ru smiled and her eyes lit up.
This female police officer was the captain of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Department's special security department, Huang Xiuyan. As a woman, to be able to become a captain in Seoul, she definitely had extraordinary work ability.
As Zhang Ru was the main researcher of the Buddha Heart Sarira, and the main guards of the Buddha Heart Sarira were the special security department led by Huang Xiuyan, the two of them naturally knew each other.
"It's like this. My teacher, the chief of the British Royal Academy of Sciences, Professor Jane, came to Seoul today and also wants to take a look at the Buddha Heart Sarira. I just brought my teacher here to stay," Zhang Ru said.
When Huang Xiuyan heard this, her eyes were filled with anticipation. "The chief of the Royal Academy of Sciences? That's an amazing person. No wonder Professor Zhang could be qualified for the research of the Buddha Heart Sarira at such a young age. It turns out that you're a great teacher and a great disciple. "
Huang Xiuyan had already started to silently decide if she should report this to the chief police officer, or perhaps invite Jane to appear at the opening ceremony as an official guest. This would once again increase the prestige of the opening ceremony in Korea.
This was the effect that Zhang Ru wanted. She immediately pretended to be distressed and said, "Captain Huang, there's something that's troubling me. I hope that you can help me."
"Oh? Professor Zhang, feel free to mention it. We'll do our best to help the research team, "Huang Xiuyan said seriously.
Zhang Ru immediately mentioned Yang Chen's matter. She guessed that this man might have bewitched Jane, and was actually after the Buddha's Heart Sarira. However, Jane was very protective of him, and hoped that the security department could provide surveillance and protection.
Huang Xiuyan's face suddenly turned ugly, as if something had particularly touched her.
"Professor Zhang, do you know why I'm here?"
Zhang Ru shook her head.
"Let me introduce you," Huang Xiuyan gestured for Zhang Ru to follow and walked to the center of the hotel lobby.
There were a few monks and nuns in Buddhist robes, as well as some officials in suits and leather shoes, discussing something. More than a dozen bodyguards were guarding the area, and the police were also standing guard around the area.
Among the crowd, a nun who looked to be in her fifties, wearing a nun hat, seemed to have the highest status and was quite dignified. She was fiddling with the prayer beads in her hand and was talking to the officials.
Behind the nun was a slightly short and fat monk who looked to be in his fifties. He looked to be in his fifties, with an average appearance and kind eyes.
The other monks, whose status was obviously lower, couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Everyone, let me introduce you to the main researcher of the Buddha Heart Sarira this time, Professor Zhang Ru, who detected the origin of the sarira." Huang Xiuyan introduced.
"Amitabha, Professor Zhang is really a fated person in our Buddhist sect. On behalf of my fellow daoists, I thank you, professor, for finding the Buddha's heart for our Buddhist sect," the nun said with a smile.
Zhang Ru immediately returned the greeting, "Abbess is too kind, Zhang Ru is just doing her duty, the Buddha Heart Sarira was discovered by the archaeological team."
Huang Xiuyan introduced, "This is the president of the Korean Buddhist Association, Abbess Yu Lian. Behind her is the director of the association, Master Zi Hao. The rest of you are also Buddhist monks of the Republic of Korea. These monks were originally staying in their own hotels, but they will be staying at the Hilton Hotel tonight."
"Why is that?" Zhang Ru knew that these monks were far richer than she imagined, so they usually made their own arrangements.
Huang Xiuyan whispered, "To tell you the truth, I was planning to tell you tonight, Professor Zhang. During the Buddha Heart Relic Opening Ceremony, we received a threatening letter from the underground terrorist organization 'North Buyeo', saying that they want to take away the relic."
"North Buyeo?" Zhang Ru had never heard of it.
"Yes, professor, you definitely don't understand, but such an organization does exist. Our special security department has already gathered the armed police and the army to set up an ambush.
But these important monks and officials who will be attending the ceremony, if they are separated, it will be difficult to protect them, so we decided to gather them at a few designated hotels.
The Hilton Hotel's geographical location is relatively safe, so we let these masters stay here. Professor Zhang, you can also stay here later, the room is already empty for you. "
