Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty-Chapter 424 - 385: Crazy for You, Infatuated for You
When Zhao Rong opened the package and took out something resembling a router, Wang Guihua stared at him in disbelief.
"Brother Zhao Rong, you're an incredible person!" she exclaimed. "I never thought the sci-fi world you mentioned actually existed. The world you live in is a real, tangible science-fiction reality! You're so amazing. You've completely captivated me, and I'm in utter awe of you…"
Su Jintao slapped himself twice before looking at Zhao Rong. "Bro, when you were talking about bats making deliveries, I wouldn't have believed you if my life depended on it. But seeing is believing. When I personally saw a bat fly into my dorm, deliver a package, and even talk to you, I was completely stunned…"
Listening to Wang Guihua, Zhao Rong just chuckled and reassured her, "Don't worry. As you get to know me better, you'll discover things that are even more incredible. Today was just the tip of the iceberg, so don't be a stranger."
With that, he glared at Su Jintao and scolded him, "Young man, don't get too arrogant. Just you wait. You're going to drink all the dirty water in that toilet, right in front of me."
After his warning, Zhao Rong turned on the device. He pointed to the characters written on it—'Woman Searcher'—and explained to Wang Guihua, "You may not know this, but this machine is one of the hottest-selling new products on the Paradise Shopping Cart."
Wang Guihua took the device in her hands. No matter how she looked at it, it just seemed like a router. Fiddling with it, she asked, "Brother Zhao Rong, this router you bought… is it TP-Link, Huawei, or Xiaomi?"
Zhao Rong let out a small laugh and clarified, "Everything sold on the Paradise Shopping Cart is like MUJI; they're all unbranded. But as long as it's guaranteed by the Paradise Shopping Cart website, the quality is absolutely top-notch, the tech-feel is excellent, and the user experience is superb."
Meanwhile, Su Jintao edged closer. He looked curiously at the white, router-like device with three antennas in Zhao Rong's hands. "Bro, can that thing really find nearby women?" he asked. After speaking, he was immediately gripped by nervousness, fear, and terror.
Zhao Rong, who was studying the manual, said to him, "Young man, don't be afraid. If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. As long as you don't have a woman hidden in your dorm, this Woman Searcher won't sound an alarm or pinpoint her location."
Hearing this, Su Jintao struggled to compose himself and said with feigned calmness, "Bro, you have a strange sense of humor. Why would I be nervous? I'm an honest man. How could I possibly hide a woman in my dorm and let her scream? That's absolutely impossible."
Wang Guihua, based on her understanding of her student, also vouched for him. "Brother Zhao Rong, ever since I became the principal of the Women's University, Su Jintao has made a particularly strong impression on me. Not only does he dislike wearing women's clothing, but he has also always been single. He never dates or gets into relationships, almost as if he has no interest in women at all."
Listening to Principal Wang Guihua, Zhao Rong sneered, "So you're saying there's definitely no woman in his dorm?"
Before Wang Guihua could answer, Su Jintao began to sing his own praises. "A student as good as me is hard to find at our Women's University, so please, believe me. I would never hide a beauty away in my dorm."
But before Su Jintao could finish, Zhao Rong had finished studying the manual. He connected the antennas, plugged in the power, and activated the Woman Searcher. The moment it started, an alarm blared, and a voice prompt announced, "Searching… Two women have been detected within a ten-meter radius. One woman is standing directly in front of the device. The other woman is inside the wall."
Hearing the voice alarm, Su Jintao collapsed to the floor in a heap. He pressed himself against the wall in terror, stammering, "Impossible! This Woman Searcher must be spouting nonsense! How could a girl be hidden inside such a solid wall? Besides, this dormitory was built ten years ago, and the walls are incredibly sturdy. Even if I, Su Jintao, were the most capable person alive, I couldn't possibly dig a hole in the wall and stuff a woman inside!"
As Zhao Rong listened to the alarm, he watched Su Jintao closely and saw an expression of pure dread spread across his face. Zhao Rong decided to deliberately frighten him further. "Let me tell you the truth. This machine I bought online can not only find women nearby, but it can also find any woman you've ever harmed."
At Zhao Rong's words, Su Jintao immediately turned to run. Seeing him try to escape, Zhao Rong lashed out with a flying kick. The blow sent Su Jintao crashing hard against the wall before he slumped to the floor. Wang Guihua quickly found a rope under the bed and helped tie him up.
Just then, the Woman Searcher continued its voice prompt: "Behind that painting is a small cavity. The woman is hidden inside."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong walked toward the painting of the Mona Lisa's smile hanging on Su Jintao's wall. As he examined it, he suddenly realized that the painting was actually a GIF. The woman in the picture wasn't just smiling; her facial features were moving.
In a flash, Zhao Rong ripped the painting from the wall. To his astonishment, there was indeed a woman behind it. She seemed to be under some form of mental control, a living dead person who could do nothing but smile. What shocked Zhao Rong even more was that this woman looked exactly like the Mona Lisa in the painting.
Wang Guihua came over. Looking at the woman in the wall who bore such a strong resemblance to the Mona Lisa, she said to Zhao Rong, "Brother Zhao Rong, I know her. Her real name is Zheng Mona Lisa. She's a freshman at our university. She went missing not long after she enrolled…"
Zhao Rong looked at the freshman, Zheng Mona Lisa, then frowned at Wang Guihua. "This freshman of yours, why does she look exactly like the Mona Lisa from Da Vinci's painting?"
Wang Guihua explained, "Brother Zhao Rong, you wouldn't know this, but her parents are huge Da Vinci fans. After their daughter was born, they not only named her Zheng Mona Lisa, but they also started putting her through plastic surgery from a young age. After dozens of surgeries, both major and minor, their daughter was transformed into a living version of the Mona Lisa."
Zhao Rong drew in a sharp breath. He couldn't imagine parents so twisted and cruel that they would subject their own daughter to countless surgeries just to make her resemble an idol's painting. It was insane.
As he carefully lifted Zheng Mona Lisa out of the wall, he asked Wang Guihua, "How long has it been since she enrolled and then disappeared?"
Wang Guihua thought for a moment. "Not quite a year, but definitely more than half a year."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong walked over to Su Jintao and kicked him squarely in the stomach. "You really are a pervert. Not only did you kidnap a freshman and bring her to your dorm, but you also injected her with some kind of poison that turned her into a walking corpse!"
When Su Jintao saw his evil deeds were exposed, he went limp on the floor like a deflated balloon. Wang Guihua grabbed a nearby stool and rushed toward him. "You animal! Kidnapping a freshman is bad enough, but you injected her with poison and turned a beautiful, healthy girl into a walking corpse!" With that, she began striking Su Jintao with the iron stool.
After carrying Zheng Mona Lisa from the wall, Zhao Rong gently laid her on the bed. He helped her drink a sip of water and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm going to concoct an Elixir right now to save you."
When Wang Guihua heard Zhao Rong was going to make an Elixir to revive Zheng Mona Lisa, she asked in shock, "Brother Zhao Rong, you're an Alchemist too?"
While taking a pressure cooker, a powerful flame, and various herbs out of his Magic Ring, Zhao Rong turned to her and replied, "I studied it for a while, but my skills are poor. I couldn't call myself an Alchemist. I'm just an amateur."
With that, Zhao Rong took out a Snow Lotus, a Paradise Lily, Snow Lotus seeds, Divine Grass, and Paradise water from the Magic Ring. He tossed all the ingredients into the pressure cooker, then, controlling the flame, he began the refinement process.
As Zhao Rong started his work, Wang Guihua walked over to Su Jintao and demanded, "Su Jintao, confess! Why did you kidnap Zheng Mona Lisa and bring her to your dorm? Why did you hollow out the wall, put her inside, and turn her into a walking corpse?"
At this point, Su Jintao was covered in injuries from the beating. He said in agony, "When Zheng Mona Lisa came to enroll as a freshman, I fell in love with her at first sight… But as a man, I was too afraid to confess my feelings, let alone pursue her. So, I could only resort to this method… kidnapping her and bringing her to my dorm…"
