America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 230 Su Feier, what brings her here?

"No...don't come any closer..."

Surrounded by motorcycles and burly bodyguards, Elva's face suddenly turned pale. She shook her head violently, clutched her chest, and bent over.

The two bodyguards remained expressionless. They made way for one person, and a middle-aged woman in a suit and trousers stepped in.

"I feel so bad, help me..."

Gasping for breath, Elva raised her hand to the other person, her frail body swaying like a willow branch in the wind, and whispered for help.

Unfortunately, unlike the meticulous care she had always received, this time her hand couldn't touch anything. The woman took a step back to avoid her, and instead reached out to pull off the silk scarf from her face, carefully examining her complexion.

Elva paused for a moment, wanting to reach for the scarf but not daring to, and quickly covered her mouth and nose with both hands in a wronged manner.

Ignoring Elva's reaction, the woman took a photo out of her bag and handed it to her, speaking slowly and calmly.

"What you just said, and the way you are now, whether you're pretending or not, I think you're definitely a smart kid. Now cooperate, tell us their whereabouts, and we'll take good care of you and even give you some reward..."

Upon hearing this, Elva looked up and saw that the photo showed Sean Lee and Victoria. She instinctively widened her eyes.

"Say it!"

Catching the subtle movement on Elva's face, the woman frowned and shouted.

"It was them. They asked me to watch the road before. I saw you coming, but when I went back to look for them, I couldn't find them."

The roar of the motorcycle engine behind her continued. Elva's face turned ashen, one hand tightly covering her mouth and nose, the other pointing in the direction she had been stopped from running. "I saw them running this way, that's why I chased after them."

"We have already sent people over there to search."

Nodding casually, the woman smiled as she watched Elva's expression closely. "However, we remain skeptical of your statement and will only release you once our search team reports positive results."

"Or rather, can you tell the truth, or provide some more valuable clues?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Elva was stunned. Her usual cleverness had been completely exposed, and she felt a sudden panic. A sharp, tearing pain shot through her chest, making her gasp for breath even more violently, but the more she gasped, the more painful it became.

"speak out!"

The woman's eyes narrowed, her cold face fixed on him. "Tell us, and we'll save you right away!"

"What I just said is the truth!"

Clutching her chest tightly with both hands, Elva closed her eyes in agony and screamed at the top of her lungs, as if these words had exhausted her last bit of strength. Her body swayed like a willow catkin in the wind, almost collapsing to the ground.

Hmph—

Just then, a loud motorcycle roar suddenly rang out from outside the crowd of onlookers. When everyone turned around, they saw that the person riding the motorcycle was not the bodyguard in the same clothes as the others, but a handsome young man who was speeding towards them.

They quickly made way for them to pass, and then, despite the wall of bodyguards blocking their way, the motorcycle did not slow down and drove straight toward them.

Finally, at the last moment, the bodyguards scrambled to make way, and Li Xiaoen successfully broke through to the inner circle.

"Sean!"

With her eyes fixed on the young man on the motorcycle, the woman gritted her teeth and shouted, "Hurry up and bring Victoria back, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Li Xiaoen did not answer this question. He sped up to the other party and suddenly swerved to the side, startling the two bodyguards blocking his way.

"Elva, let's go."

The moment they stopped, Li Xiaoen quickly reached out to the girl, who was swaying precariously, and pulled her onto the motorcycle, holding her in his arms. Looking at her pale face, he felt a heavy weight in his heart.

"Sean..."

She looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and a smile finally appeared on Elva's face.

"I'll take you away!"

He answered in a deep voice and was about to restart the motorcycle when a quick-thinking bodyguard reached out to stop him. Li Xiaoen grabbed the bodyguard's arm and, to everyone's astonishment, knocked him to the ground.

Ignoring the stares of others, and taking advantage of the shock of the bodyguards who surrounded him, Li Xiaoen quickly started the car and floored the accelerator.

"Hurry, stop him, stop him!"

It wasn't until they had driven a short distance that Li Xiaoen heard the woman's rebuke from behind. Immediately afterward, in his field of vision, he saw a bodyguard riding a motorcycle outside the encirclement pull out a stun gun.

Suddenly his eyes widened, and before he could dodge, Li Xiaoen quickly turned the motorcycle around. The next moment, a sharp pain shot through his back, and his whole body convulsed and trembled uncontrollably.

"Drink..."

Clenching his teeth and roaring in a low voice, Li Xiaoen instinctively gripped the motorcycle handlebars, trying his best to regain his composure, keeping the motorcycle steady, pressing the accelerator even harder, and speeding out of the encirclement.

"Sean, how are you?"

To escape the motorcycle that was hot on his heels, Li Xiaoen turned around and sped into a secluded alley in the town. Only when the situation had eased up a bit did Elva finally find an opportunity to ask in a low voice.

"I'm fine, I can handle it."

Looking down, Li Xiaoen forced a smile. Seeing that even the girl's lips had lost all color, he quickly asked, "Elva, are you having an attack?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she recalled the girl's original situation: the scarf covering her mouth and nose had been torn off, and she was surrounded by people and motorcycles in front of and behind her. The air was not circulating and there was exhaust fumes. She really wanted to slap herself.

Li Xiaoen quickly changed his tune: "Elva, do you know if there's any emergency medication for your symptoms?"

Upon hearing this, Elva looked up and managed to open her bloodless lips, but no sound came out. She slowly closed her eyes, which only made him more anxious.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Li Xiaoen brought up the system interface, his gaze sweeping across the inventory and settling on a white pistol adorned with gold patterns.

Based on the surrounding route seen through the [Eye of Insight], Li Xiaoen multitasked, using one hand to drive and find a loophole to avoid the pursuing motorcycle, and the other hand to place behind the girl and summon a [Magic Gun].

"Gutana, heal!"

He uttered a low shout, the grip on his hand disappeared, and Li Xiaoen's hand returned to the girl's back before he lifted it to the handrail on the front of the car. He looked ahead, occasionally glancing down to keep a close eye on the girl's facial expressions.

He had searched online and found that Prince Amusement's "Magic Gun" never used healing magic throughout the entire series, so he really couldn't be sure if his prop would be effective for the girl's condition.

Under the watchful gaze, the girl's pale face slowly improved, and a noticeable hue gradually appeared on her lips. Li Xiaoen, panting heavily, finally relaxed his tense body and let out a long breath.

As if sensing that the pain in her body was rapidly subsiding and she was gradually regaining her spirits, a hint of doubt flashed through Elva's previously despondent state of mind. She shook her head from side to side and opened her eyes.

"Sean..."

Elva looked up at the young man excitedly, "My body feels better!"

"Maybe the car was blowing away the exhaust fumes from the vicinity."

Overjoyed that the girl was free from her suffering, Li Xiaoen completely relaxed and subtly found a reason for the props' ingenious effect.

"Before, when I felt unwell, I always had to go to the hospital to get better, but this time it actually got better on its own?"

Elva frowned slightly in confusion, but her gradually regaining strength made her too lazy to dwell on it. She held the young man's head and looked back, "Sean, have you gotten rid of those bad guys?"

"That's about enough. I'll find the right opportunity to send you back to your father."

Sean Lee sighed in relief and hurriedly drove in the direction where he had seen Herbert earlier, searching for them.

Why are they chasing you and Victoria?

Elva opened her big, curious eyes wide.

"Well, it's a long story."

After a moment's thought, Li Xiaoen gave his answer: "You can think of it as our resistance against family interference in our love."

Wow...that's amazing?

Upon hearing this, Elva's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"What's so great about it?"

Li Xiaoen was both amused and exasperated. "Not only was it dangerous, but it also dragged you all into this."

"No."

Elva quickly shook her head in denial, a smile of excitement spreading across her face. "This is your adventure, and I'm happy to join you."

"Ok."

Nodding, Li Xiaoen smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

To outsiders, what he and Victoria did might have seemed like a passionate and exciting adventure, but to them, it was an experience of constantly having to run away – even though they tried to cheer each other up and make the journey more interesting.

A stable and peaceful relationship and life is everyone's most sincere pursuit; no one longs for a situation where they are always worried and fearful.

In The Odyssey, which tells the story of Odysseus's return home after ten years, readers enjoy his interesting adventures and novel experiences. However, Odysseus himself faced constant danger and the passage of time. If he had the choice, he would certainly have returned home quickly and safely.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Xiaoen sped out of an intersection on his motorcycle and stopped in front of a pickup truck.

“Erva…”

Herbert, who was in the car, was taken aback at first, but then quickly got out of the car and came to greet him.

"dad……"

At this moment, she couldn't care less about being petty. Elva opened her arms and nestled into Herbert's embrace as she got off the motorcycle. "I'm so sorry to have dragged you into this mess."

As Herbert was carefully examining his daughter's physical condition, Sean Lee nodded and spoke solemnly.

"It's alright, it's good that everyone is alright."

After confirming that his daughter was safe, Herbert breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, forced a smile, and shook his head.

"Then, let's meet again someday."

The situation was critical; his whereabouts could be spotted by motorcycles at any moment. Without further ado, Li Xiaoen nodded goodbye and restarted his motorcycle.

"Oh, right..."

After driving a short distance, Li Xiaoen suddenly braked and turned around, revealing a meaningful smile under the gaze of the father and daughter.

"May God bless you, and may Elva recover."

After saying that, before the two could react, Li Xiaoen immediately started the car again and drove back into the alley he had just come out of.

Suddenly turning around to offer a blessing, Herbert frowned and looked down at his daughter.

"Dad, do you know..."

Elva was very excited, gesturing with her arms outstretched in the air, "I had a relapse just now, and Sean took me for a ride on his motorcycle. I felt better after a while."

"is it?"

Herbert exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, then realized that he had heard from the townspeople that his daughter was in serious illness. He quickly checked on his daughter again, which made Elva laugh and cry at the same time, and she reached out to remove his hand from her face.

"It's alright, it's alright now."

Herbert's face also turned excited.

He knew his daughter's condition better than anyone else. In the past, if she had an attack, she would have had to be admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital for a long time to recover. Now, she had fully recovered after just riding a motorcycle with Li Xiaoen. It was much better than before.

A cautious yet hopeful intuition arose in his mind—Elva's condition had improved, or even been cured!
Thinking this, tears welled up in Herbert's eyes, and he kept lifting his daughter, who was sitting on his arm, with a silly grin.

Just then, several motorcycles suddenly sped up from in front and behind him, startling him so much that he instinctively raised his hand to cover Elva's mouth and nose.

"dad……"

With a muffled sound, Elva raised her hand in displeasure, removing the large hand covering her face. "I'm fine, you don't need to do this..."

Herbert paused for a moment, then turned to stare blankly at his daughter, then at the motorcycles surrounding them. His gaze swept back and forth a few times before he finally confirmed the unexpected reality. He burst into tears, laughing and crying at the same time.

“Okay…Okay…”

He laughed loudly a few times, then turned around and noticed the bodyguards in front of him frowning and looking at him. His face instantly turned cold, and he stepped out of the car, pulling a shotgun out and pointing it at them. "What do you want?"

"We just want to ask you about the whereabouts of the young man who took your daughter away before."

Raising his hand to ease the tension, one of the bodyguards quickly spoke up and asked.

"Oh, him."

Herbert nodded seriously, then pointed in the direction the bodyguard had initially driven from, "He ran that way."

"Please cooperate with me."

Frustrated by Herbert's unbridled boasting, the bodyguard calmed down and said, "Your daughter was taken away by him before, and now that she's here, she must know."

“My dad is right.”

Elva chimed in at the right moment, then pointed behind the bodyguard, "Sean came this way."

As soon as she finished speaking, she let out a bell-like laugh.

"What's wrong? Judging from your expressions, do you suspect we're lying?"

Herbert frowned slightly, pointed his shotgun at the bodyguard, and put his finger on the trigger.

"Good good..."

The bodyguards nodded helplessly, restarted their motorcycles, and drove away.

Sean Lee had no idea about Herbert and his daughter's situation. After playing hide-and-seek with a group of bodyguards in the town's alleys for a while, he seized the opportunity to dash out, immediately released the accelerator to reduce the noise of the motorcycle, and then slowly drove towards his car on the edge of town.

At one point, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes widened abruptly.

Through his ever-activated Eye of Insight, he saw a red Ferrari supercar slowly driving not far ahead, and inside was the girl he hadn't seen for days, yet felt as if three years had passed.

Sophie?
Why is she here?

Li Xiaoen paused for a moment, and seeing that the girl was about to cross a secluded and dark alley, he quickly sped up and intercepted her at the intersection.

He stopped the car, turned to look at the girl, then glanced back to make sure no one was chasing him before moving the car and parking it next to his vehicle.

As he got out of the car, Suffer also got out and silently watched him.

"..."

"Sufeil..."

Forcing a smile, Li Xiaoen approached Su Feier while scratching the back of his head, momentarily at a loss for words to strike up a conversation with the girl—since that day, he had been sending her messages every day whenever his phone had a signal, but unfortunately, he hadn't received a single reply.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaoen reached out his hands, wanting to hug the girl, but she raised her hand and slapped him away.

Well, that's true.

Li Xiaoen lowered his eyes helplessly.

"Have you had enough fun?"

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, Suffer said calmly, "How long are you going to keep being so willful?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoen subconsciously looked up, opened his mouth, but ultimately exhaled without answering.

He heard the voices of bodyguards chasing after him coming from the next street. Li Xiaoen glanced over, but he couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he calmed down.

"Sufeil..."

Choosing his words carefully, Li Xiaoen looked at Su Feier solemnly, "Wait a few more days, I'll go back, okay?"

"Just a few days!"

Finally hearing Li Xiaoen's answer, Su Feier felt her nose even more blocked. She opened her mouth slightly and took a breath. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly looked to the other side.

Although she had anticipated this outcome, seeing the young man so devoted to Victoria still made her feel terrible—especially since she hadn't heard from him for two days, which scared her so much that she followed Victoria's housekeeper.

"Wait for me at school!"

With no more time left, Li Xiaoen emphasized again, turned around and was about to get on his motorcycle and leave when Su Feier spoke from behind.

"Wait a moment……"

Li Xiaoen paused, turning around in confusion, only to be pulled back by Su Feier, who had stepped closer and reached out. "I didn't realize you were so strong. You can carry two stun guns and race like a maniac..."

"Two shots?"

Li Xiaoen paused for a moment, then felt the girl's hand gently stroking his back, and quickly shut his mouth.

"I've noticed that not only is your face thick-skinned, but the rest of your skin is also very tough. How come the needle doesn't penetrate deeper?"

As she tore the dart off the young man's clothes, Suffer complained loudly.

Li Xiaoen didn't dare to say anything and stood silently in place, but no matter what, he finally breathed a sigh of relief—he wasn't afraid of Su Feier's irritable temper, but he was afraid of the girl's indifference towards him.

"From now on, you have to message me every day and answer the questions I ask you, understand?"

Suffer's nonchalant voice came from behind him again. Li Xiaoen nodded quickly, and only after the girl removed all the darts did he exhale and look at her again.

"wait for me!"

Without getting tired of emphasizing it again, Li Xiaoen looked at the girl in front of him who was arrogantly glancing to the side. His heart warmed, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug her. He felt her originally soft body quickly tense up.

"Who told you to hug me?!"

Suffer gritted her teeth and punched Li Xiaoen in the chest.

"Ha ha……"

With two loud laughs, Li Xiaoen lowered his head and kissed the girl's smooth forehead. He immediately let go, jumped into the car, quickly started the engine, and accelerated, disappearing into the alleyways between the rows of houses in the blink of an eye.

Silently watching the young man's departing figure until he disappeared from sight, Suffer pursed her lips, took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and turned to get into the car.

"Miss Sophie, have you seen them?"

Charlotte also rode her bike with the bodyguard team to search. When she passed the intersection, she saw Sophie get off the bike and couldn't help but ask her a question.

"No."

Shaking his head slightly, Suffer bent down to get into the car, and under his dazed gaze, turned around and drove out of the town.
