Chapter 163: Traces Found
Jiang Yingjun, who returned to Ning City, was in a bad mood, he casually flipped through the mobile phone address book, and suddenly Ma Liang's name jumped out, so he dialed his number and said directly, "Brother Ma, brother, I'm in a bad mood, come out and have a drink with me." β
Jiang Yingjun hadn't contacted Ma Liang for several days because he was busy with the Southwest Theme Park project, and Ma Liang didn't take the initiative to contact Jiang Yingjun because he saved Cheng Xin, so he rushed home a lot of his free time to accompany Cheng Xin. At this time, Ma Liang, who was rushing home to accompany Cheng Xin, suddenly received a call from Jiang Yingjun, and hesitated in his heart.
"Brother Jiang, do you have to do it tonight?" Ma Liang asked rhetorically.
Ma Liang, who is usually on call and likes to go clubbing to drink and play with women, did not agree to come out to drink today, which surprised Jiang Yingjun. He asked suspiciously, "Brother Ma, why don't you drink well?" Could it be that what is more important than drinking with your brother?"
"No, it's just that I agreed to eat with others, and I don't want to miss the appointment, right?"
"Oh, who are you going to eat with?" Jiang Yingjun asked with interest, "Has Brother Ma changed sex?"
"No, no, I've never had a girlfriend, don't you know? It's just a friend. β
"What kind of friend is so important, can Brother Ma even refuse me?" Jiang Yingjun asked.
Seeing Jiang Yingjun's unrelenting appearance, Ma Liang had no choice but to admit defeat, "Okay, okay, I'll push it off over there, I'll accompany you, ...... you" Ma Liang smiled.
"Okay, I'll see you at the old place. β
Ma Liang had no choice but to call the housekeeper, saying that he couldn't go home to accompany Cheng Xin to eat, and asked her to eat first, because she was afraid that she would go home very late.
In the past few days, Cheng Xin's body has been fine, although he has not remembered his life experience, but his personality has become a lot more cheerful, and he likes to laugh. Every time he saw Cheng Xin's smile, Ma Liang felt that the world was bright. Therefore, Cheng Xin repeatedly asked him about his life experience, Ma Liang prevaricated, he only hoped that Cheng Xin could stay by his side more and accompany him. Although he knew that maybe one day Cheng Xin would remember everything and leave, he hoped that that day would come as late as possible.
"The fiancΓ©e of the general manager of Lu's Group, a high-achieving student of Ningda University, a native of Ganzhou, Jiangxi......" Ma Liang found out all this information, but he didn't plan to tell Cheng Xin, and he didn't want others to tell her. Now Cheng Xin is like a canary in captivity in a villa, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world.
When Ma Liang arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Yingjun had already ordered a full table of dishes, and a few bottles of beer had already been opened, so he drank it first. Seeing that Ma Liang was coming, Jiang Yingjun didn't get up, but greeted him and continued to drink.
"Brother Jiang, why don't you wait for me to come, just drink it yourself? What's so unhappy about this?" Ma Liang patted Jiang Yingjun's shoulder, and then sat down opposite.
Jiang Yingjun drank another glass of wine in one gulp before replying, "Don't ask if it's a good brother, just drink with me." As he spoke, he filled Maleon's cup.
Ma Liang raised his glass, "Then today Ma will give up his life to accompany the gentleman." Come on, dry ......" and drank it all.
After a few cups, Ma Liang picked up the dish and ate a few bites, "Wow, why are today's dishes so spicy......" said, Ma Liang hurriedly took a sip of wine and washed the spicy taste in his mouth.
"What, is it spicy?" Jiang Yingjun said and added a mouthful of food to his mouth and chewed, "It's not spicy!"
"Why are you so spicy...... I remember that before, you and I didn't order much spicy food. Ma Liang looked at Jiang Yingjun in front of him suspiciously, "What are you stimulated?"
Jiang Yingjun didn't speak, but continued to drink on his own. Seeing this, Ma Liang didn't ask anything anymore, and continued to drink with Jiang Yingjun.
The table was already full of empty wine bottles, Ma Liang felt that he should have drunk almost, and if he drank any more, he might be drunk, so he persuaded: "Brother Jiang, if you don't stop here today, I don't think it's too early." β
Jiang Yingjun looked up at Ma Liang and said faintly, "Wait a minute, we have to transfer." You're not in a hurry to get home, are you......?
Ma Liang was a little embarrassed by Jiang Yingjun's concentration of thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Where, how can there be, I'm not afraid that you will get drunk? β
"Would such a drunken injury come out of Brother Ma's mouth? Jiang Yingjun felt that the Ma Liang in front of him seemed to be different from the previous Ma Liang, he couldn't tell what was the difference, stared at him and said, "Brother Ma, you have changed." β
Ma Liang looked at himself and asked puzzledly, "Where has it changed?"
"Your temperament has changed, and I feel like you're good. Say, is there something you've been hiding from me lately?"
Jiang Yingjun's eyes stared at Ma Liang a little numb, and he hurriedly explained, "No, what can I hide from you." I'll go to the toilet first, you wait for me, I'll accompany you to the scene later, if you don't say go home today, I won't slip away first. With that, Ma Liang got up and walked in the direction of the toilet.
"Jingle Bell ......" until Ma Liang left for a few minutes, when suddenly a mobile phone rang. Jiang Yingjun subconsciously picked up his mobile phone to answer the call, and found that it was not his mobile phone ringing at all.
"Whose mobile phone is it?" Jiang Yingjun looked at the table, and it was Ma Liang's mobile phone, lying straight on the dining table.
Jiang Yingjun couldn't answer the phone, so he could only let the phone ring all the time. After the phone rang off, it rang again immediately, because the ringtone was too loud, Jiang Yingjun felt that the impact was not very good, so he had to take it and pick it up, "Hey, Ma Liang is not here now, let's call later." β
The housekeeper's voice on the other end of the phone was a little anxious, "Hey, I'm Ma Shao's housekeeper, and there is a bit of an urgent matter at home, please wait for Ma Shao to come back and tell him and let him go home immediately." β
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yingjun felt that something was wrong.
"It's related to Miss Cheng, if you tell him, he will naturally understand. With that, the housekeeper hung up the phone.
Jiang Yingjun put down Ma Liang's mobile phone and looked anxiously in the direction of the bathroom, Ma Liang had not come out yet. He was about to put the phone back, when suddenly his eyes stayed on Ma Liang's mobile phone screensaver, on which was a woman lying on the window looking at the scenery outside the window, there was only one side face, but just that side face, Jiang Yingjun could immediately recognize the woman, and his heart was beating very quickly.
He suddenly remembered what the housekeeper said on the phone just now, "It's related to Miss Cheng", could it be her?
But why did her picture appear on Maleonn's phone, and how did they meet?
Jiang Yingjun had a lot of questions to ask Ma Liang in his heart, he couldn't sit still, and planned to go directly to the bathroom to find Ma Liang.
As soon as he stood up, Ma Liang had already walked over with a smile, "Where are we waiting?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go anywhere. Jiang Yingjun said quietly.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going? Changed your mind again?" Ma Liang looked at Jiang Yingjun and thought to himself, what is going on with this kid today, a thought for a while.
Jiang Yingjun pointed to Ma Liang's mobile phone, "Just now your housekeeper called, saying that there is an urgent matter at home and asking you to go back quickly." β
"What's the urgency?" Ma Liang's heart tightened.
"It's related to Miss Cheng, he said you know. As Jiang Yingjun spoke, his eyes kept observing Ma Liang's expression.
When Ma Liang heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn, "Brother Jiang, then I can't accompany you today, I have to go home quickly." With that, he got up and walked out.
Jiang Yingjun patted a few hundred yuan on the dining table and quickly followed, "Who is this Miss Cheng?
Ma Liang left in a hurry, "I'll talk to you about this in detail when I have time in the future, and now I have to rush back." With that, he got into the car and prepared to start the car.
"You're drinking, you can't drive," Jiang Yingjun reminded through ......the window.
"Damn!" Ma Liang slapped the steering wheel, quickly jumped off, hit a car, and got into the co-pilot.
"I'll go back with you. Jiang Yingjun opened the back seat door and sat in.
"Brother Jiang, get out of the car, this is my family's private matter, and it is not convenient for the time being. Ma Liang didn't want Cheng Xin's matter to be known by others, so he said embarrassedly.
"What, did Brother Ma do something unspeakable?" Jiang Yingjun said with a smile.
"Okay then, but I hope you don't tell anyone else. Ma Liang struggled inwardly and said, "Master, drive." β
Taxis weave through the streets in the dark, and the buildings and figures on both sides are rapidly moving backwards. Ma Liang kept looking at his watch, anxious. And Jiang Yingjun had countless questions waiting in his heart, and he was very excited when he thought that the person he was about to meet might be Cheng Xin.
In the days when Cheng Xin disappeared, he no longer missed her in his heart, and he also sent people everywhere to check Cheng Xin's whereabouts, but there was no news. Unexpectedly, there was nowhere to find it when stepping on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.
Cheng Xin, what happened to you? Lu Yi kept asking this question repeatedly in his heart.
He looked out of the window with empty eyes, everything became blurred, his thoughts were occupied by Cheng Xin, those past with Cheng Xin, the scene of Cheng Xin returning home with a drunk on his back, all passed through his mind one by one.
The taxi continued to splo......
β¦β¦
"Sir, here we are. The driver stopped the car and said to Ma Liang.
"Thanks, no need to look for it. Ma Liang took out two hundred-yuan bills, handed them to the driver, and then got out of the car.
Jiang Yingjun followed Ma Liang out of the car, and a two-story villa came into view, with an elegant appearance. This is not Jiang Yingjun's first time here, so he is no stranger to it.
"Let's go inside. Ma Liang said, walking briskly inside.
Jiang Yingjun followed behind Ma Liang with excitement, and shouted softly in his heart: "Cheng Xin, I'm here!"
