The road is empty in the middle of the night, and the dim yellow street lamps are reflected in the car windows from time to time, casting half-light and half-dark shadows. It's incredibly depressing.

Zhou He's heart was panicked, and his tightly clenched fingers trembled uncontrollably. Li Peiyuan didn't speak, she didn't speak, and the car was very quiet.

When they arrived at the hotel, people were left outside. Only Xu Yuanning's father, uncle, and the father and son of the Shen family went up. The waiting time was restless, and Zhou He couldn't control himself at all, and kept moving back and forth.

Li Peiyuan sensed Zhou He's uneasiness, opened a bottle of water and handed it to her, and said, "Don't worry too much, Yuan Ning shouldn't be fine." She is a girl, and she has no physical advantage. ”

These words are just words of comfort, Shen Yue really has no advantage in physical strength. But if there is a helper, it's different.

Zhou He reluctantly squeezed out a smile and nodded.

Xu Yuanning's father and uncle came down half an hour later, and their faces were solemn. Zhou He's uneasy premonition was even stronger, and he walked over quickly with Li Peiyuan.

Father Xu's face was full of exhaustion, knowing that everyone was waiting for the result, he said: "She didn't admit it, she said that he had called Ning Ning, but he hadn't seen him." ”

Xu Yuanning's cousin was impulsive, and immediately said, "I'll ask her." ”

Li Peiyuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "She doesn't admit it, it's useless for you to ask." The Shen family will not sit still. ”

Xu Yun's fist was clenched tightly, and he finally let go of his fist in defeat.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and after a long while, Xu's father said, "Call the police." ”

Shen Yue didn't admit it, the Shen family would definitely protect the shortcomings. Now only the intervention of a third party can change the current deadlock.

When he said this, he looked at Li Peiyuan and said, "Xiao Li, I have to trouble you." ”

Li Peiyuan nodded and said, "You're welcome. ”

chose to call the police, and the rest was left to the police. The place that should be searched has already been searched, and all they can do now is wait for the police to see if they can find clues from other places, or ask something from Shen Yue's mouth.

And this series of procedures takes time.

Father Xu had gray temples and aged a lot in a short period of time. I also thanked Zhou He, thank her for helping all these days. Knowing that she hadn't rested, let her go back to rest. Tomorrow, I will invite her to accompany Xu's mother at home. They will also notify her as soon as they have news.

Before Xu Yuanning fell, no one could fall. Zhou Heying came down, asked him to take care of his health, and only prepared to leave after everyone had left.

She originally planned to take a taxi back by herself, but Li Peiyuan couldn't rest assured and sent her back. watched her enter the elevator and then went to the police station.

Zhou He didn't rest and barely ate, and his body was weak. I entered the elevator and leaned against the elevator wall, although I was tired, but I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Without resting, even her mind became sluggish, the elevator door opened, and after a few seconds, she realized that the floor she had reached had arrived.

The feet are soft, as if stepping on cotton. Propped up to the door, just about to take out the key to open the door, lowered his head, was black in front of him, and fell down.

When Zhou He woke up, Cheng Wei's pale and magnified face was in front of him, and she was already lying on the sofa at his house. Her mind was empty for a moment. After a few moments, he immediately struggled to get up.

She didn't have any strength in her body, so Cheng Wei helped her up and she was able to sit up.

Cheng Wei took a glass of warm water from the side and handed it to her, and said in a low voice: "It's a little hypoglycemic, drink a glass of water first." ”

Zhou He's own body is clear and not reckless. took the water from Cheng Wei's hand and whispered thank you.

Cheng Wei's water is sweetened with sugar. She took several sips before she finished slowly.

Cheng Wei took the cup in her hand, was silent for a while, and said, "Rest for a while before going back." ”

Zhou He didn't plan to stay any longer, and was about to get off the sofa and said, "It's okay, no need, thank you." ”

She was polite and detached.

Cheng Wei didn't speak for a while.

Zhou He lowered his head to find his shoes, only to find that there were no shoes. I guess it's taken off at the entrance. She was going to go to the ground barefoot, but Cheng Wei had already gotten up and brought her slippers.

Waiting for Zhou He to put on his slippers, he asked, "Aren't there any clues yet?"

Although the Xu family is secretly looking for someone, the movement is not small. Where can you hide from people. It's not surprising that he'll know.

Zhou He's movements paused slightly, shook his head, and whispered no.

Cheng Wei subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette, but finally restrained himself. He asked in a flat tone, "Aren't there any clues?"

Zhou He originally wanted to shake his head, but for some reason, the ghost sent Shen Yue to tell him about it.

Cheng Wei was silent and did not speak, and after a while, he asked, "What are they going to do?"

"The police have been called. Zhou He replied in a low voice.

A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Cheng Wei's mouth, looked at Zhou He, and said, "With the strength of the Xu family and the Shen family, they haven't found any clues, how much more powerful can the people in the police station be than them." Even if it is indeed better than them, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold when people find it. ”

His tone was cold. Obviously, I don't think it's very useful to call the police.

Zhou He was originally going to leave, but stopped now. A pair of dark eyes looked up at him.

Cheng Wei picked up a cigarette and smoked it, glanced at her, and said lightly, "Haven't you noticed that your Senior Brother Xu's family doesn't want to tear up their faces with the Shen family?"

Yes, even if it is an ordinary family, knowing that the disappearance of their son may be related to someone. When questioned and refused, it is impossible to stop there.

Calling the police is indeed a solution. But it's definitely not the quickest way to pry a person's mouth open.

Zhou He's heart was desolate, and he was almost about to fall down again. Her mind was muddy, and she restrained herself from composure. looked at Cheng Wei and asked in a dumb voice, "Is there any other way?"

The two families will tear their faces, and the price they pay will definitely not be small. At this time, they still refused to take Xu Yuanning as the priority, and as time slowly passed, Xu Yuanning had no more news, and they would only be unable to compromise.

Cheng Wei fell silent, smoking a cigarette and not speaking. After a while, he looked at Zhou He and said, "If it is determined that it is related to Shen Yue, the only way is to pry her mouth open." ”

It's easier said than done. Before the Shen family went to the hotel, it was not difficult to take Shen Yue away unknowingly. But now, even if Shen Yue is really related to Xu Yuanning's disappearance, the Shen family will only find a way to smooth out this matter.

At this time, he will only add more people to Shen Yue's side and prevent her from leaving her sight. Where is it so easy to take her away.

Zhou He's heart was heavy, and his lips were tightly pursed and he didn't speak.

Cheng Wei paused slightly and said, "Before Shen Yue returns to the Shen family, it is not impossible to get her out. His tone was light, and then he said: "But this matter, someone from the Xu family has to stand up." ”

If Shen Yue disappears, this matter will definitely make a big fuss. He can help, but it's something that needs to be done. Afterwards, the Shen family will definitely investigate, and there is no justifiable reason that cannot be justified.

The Shen family is not an ordinary family, and Zhou He naturally does not take this matter lightly.

But there was a little hope in front of her, and she wouldn't give up no matter what. She was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go over there...... Try it. ”

Naturally, she didn't think that she could bring Shen Yue out of the hotel. She was going to Xu's house to try.

Since she said that, she naturally knew who to turn to. Cheng Wei said, "I'll send you over." ”

Zhou He whispered thank you.

She is going to find Xu Yuanning's cousin Xu Yun, in the entire Xu family, except for Xu's mother, only Xu Yun is the most suitable. But Xu's mother is not in good health, and everyone only reports good news to her.

Zhou He's luck was good, when she went to the outside of the Xu family's house with Cheng Wei, Xu Yun happened to drive away. She ran over in three steps and stopped his car.

Xu Yun has never agreed with Xu Yuanning's marriage, and he doesn't think that marriage can really stabilize the relationship. He was annoyed by his family's fear, but there was also nothing he could do to change it.

Zhou He only mentioned that the only way now was to get Shen Yue out, and he immediately asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

The relationship between him and Xu Yuanning is deep, and there are many things that adults need to consider, and he can't blame them. But he couldn't just watch it.

He can't do anything on his own, so now, as long as he can do it, he is willing to do it.

Cheng Wei's specific plan was not clear and did not answer him. Tell him to drive forward and stop at the junction in front of him.

When Xu Yun drove the car over, Cheng Wei was already waiting, he actually knew Cheng Wei, and greeted him politely. Although he didn't know why Cheng Wei was willing to help, he still sincerely expressed his gratitude to him. and told him that as long as he can do it, whether it is up the knife mountain or the sea of fire, he is willing to do it.

With the Xu family willing to stand up, things are much simpler. Cheng Wei simply told him his plan. He had someone in the hotel who wanted to knock Shen Yue out and bring him out.

At this time, it was almost impossible to let Shen Yue come out by herself.

Xu Yun knew that things were not so easy, and after nodding, he asked him what he could do. Cheng Wei didn't need him to do anything, let him wait, and went to call.

He didn't come back long after, looked up at the time, and said, "They'll find the right time to bring people out." ”

All that needs to be done now is to wait. probably knowing that Zhou He and Xu Yun were in a hurry, he drove the car to the vicinity of the hotel where Shen Yue was staying. Anything can be reacted to immediately.

After the car found a hidden place and stopped, no one spoke, and the three of them sat in the car. Xu Yun was the first to be unable to bear it, so he asked Cheng Wei for a cigarette and smoked sullenly.

The people of the Shen family guarded much more closely than expected, and they thought that they would find the opportunity soon, but they didn't.

And the more Shen Yue is watched, the more it shows that she must have something to do with Xu Yuanning's disappearance. Otherwise, the Shen family would not look at her so heavily.

By one o'clock in the morning, there was still no movement. Xu Yun couldn't sit still, he pursed his lips and said, "I'll try it." I will cause a conflict to attract the attention of the Shen family, and trouble Mr. Cheng to take this opportunity to bring people out. ”

Cheng Wei didn't agree immediately, so he couldn't be impatient. Then a phone call was made.

Xu Yun didn't get out of the car in the end, and at one o'clock in the morning, two drunk guests in the hotel got into a fight. Somehow, it set things on fire and burned down one of the guests' rooms. The room was full of flammable materials, and the fire quickly spread. Resulting in a power outage.

Outside the hotel, Cheng Wei, who was in the car, saw the lights in a whole building go out, started the car and left.

He didn't go around the city, but drove all the way north, rounding a few alleys before stopping in front of an abandoned warehouse.

There were already people in the warehouse, and when they saw his car coming, they said respectfully: "Hello Mr. Cheng, someone has brought it over." ”

Cheng Wei nodded, his eyes fell on Xu Yun's body, and said, "You go in with me." ”

Zhou He was about to follow in, but he stopped her and said, "It's okay in a while, you wait outside." ”

He said that it would be good for a while, but conceivably the means would not be so pleasant. There was no room for maneuver when he said this, and without waiting for Zhou He to speak, he took Xu Yun and walked inside.

Zhou He was waiting in the car. At the door of this dilapidated warehouse, someone even got her a cup of hot water and handed it to her.

Zhou He's hand trembled uncontrollably, took the water, said thank you, and drank it in a big gulp.

Cheng Wei didn't know what means were used, and Xu Yun's face turned pale when he came out. He was already calling the people of the Xu family.

Zhou He's uneasy premonition was even stronger, and he opened the car door and jumped out of the car. I wanted to ask Cheng Wei something, but I was afraid that what I would hear was the answer I was afraid of.

Cheng Wei's face was solemn, he was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "She pushed Xu Yuanning into the river a few hours ago, and I have already asked people to search for him, as long as he has good water quality, he should be ......"

He couldn't say any more at this point.

Zhou He's eyes were dark, and he barely stood still after holding on to the car. There was a buzz in her head, and Cheng Wei was talking about something behind, she tried hard to listen, but she couldn't hear anything.

After a long while, Cheng Wei's voice gradually became clearer, and when she heard that Xu Yun was going to rush over there immediately, she said with difficulty: "I'll go too." ”

learned Xu Yuanning's whereabouts from Shen Yue's mouth, and for a while, almost all the search forces rushed to the riverside. When a few people passed, the river was already brightly lit.

Shen Yue was not sent back to the hotel, but was also brought over and handed over to the people of the Xu family.

This kind of waiting was undoubtedly more tormenting, and Zhou He and the searchers searched for every place by the river where Xu Yuanning might be taken by the current.

Although there were many people searching, there was no clue about Xu Yuanning until dawn. Nor did he find anything that belonged to him.

This kind of search is undoubtedly desperate, Zhou He's face turned pale, and he refused to let go of every inch of searching. Knowing that she was uncomfortable, Cheng Wei did not stop her and followed her all the time. Until she collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

When Zhou He woke up, his surroundings were snow-white, and his hands were dripping. Cheng Wei stood by the window smoking a cigarette, and the surroundings were very quiet.

As soon as she sat up, Cheng Wei snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand and said in a low voice, "Wake up." ”

Zhou He didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but the expression on Cheng Wei's face was still solemn, she restrained herself from letting her tears fall, lowered her head, and asked in a dumb voice, "How did you search?"

Cheng Wei wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but he still restrained himself. whispered: "Still searching, no news, in fact, it is ...... Good news. ”

This is nothing but self-deception. Although the water flow in this season is not very fast, Xu Yuanning was thrown into the river with his hands tied. After that long time, the chances of survival are slim to none.

The fact that there are so many undercurrents in this river that he can't catch anything doesn't mean that he's still alive.

Zhou He's eyes were astringent, he grabbed Cheng Wei's clothes with both hands, and said pleadingly: "Ask Shen Yue if it's okay again, maybe she lied to us." She wouldn't have that much guts, she lied to us, for sure. ”

She didn't want to accept it.

Cheng Wei let her grab his clothes, and was silent without speaking.

Shen Yue has been interrogated several times, and Xu Yuanning was indeed sunk into the river by her. Moreover, the boatman who helped her escape has also been captured, and the details of what the two said are the same.

Although she divorced and went abroad, she didn't have a good time, and she had two boyfriends in a row, and they were different from Xu Yuanning. One is her family history and her money, while the other is her body. Not long after the two dated, they split a little girl. When she went to the man to make trouble, she was beaten by the man and stayed in the hospital for half a month.

In this half a month, she realized how good Xu Yuanning was. Called Xu Yuanning many times. But Xu Yuanning treated her coldly. He almost never communicates with her, but he never prevents her from watching children on video.

She thought that for the sake of the child, he would also be willing to remarry her. After recovering from his injuries, he returned to China. Who knew that after returning to China, Xu Yuanning was still that cold and indifferent appearance.

She asked him out this time because she wanted to remarry him. Also ready to propose to him, hoping that he will forgive her. She will definitely be a qualified wife in the future.

She obviously put so much effort into preparation, who knew that Xu Yuanning didn't appreciate it at all. Before she could tell her purpose, he saw it, and immediately got up to leave. Annoyed, she grabbed the bottle and struck him on the head.

In order not to be disturbed, she set up a remote café to propose to him. And let all the staff leave in advance.

She was scared after knocking down Xu Yuanning, but she quickly calmed down. tied him up after Xu Yuanning fainted, thinking that he was threatening him, he would agree to remarry her.

But this time, Xu Yuanning was so hard-hearted that he was like the two of them before, whether she harmed herself or threatened to kill him, he was unmoved.

After using both soft and hard, she was annoyed and angry, and she had a vicious plan in her heart. Rented a boat and got him on board.

She told herself over and over again that as long as he gave in to him, as long as he should come down, she would let him go and live well with him in the future. But unexpectedly, Xu Yuanning did not compromise. No matter how much she threatened him, he was unmoved, and he didn't even look at her. After hours of confrontation, she pushed the man down in a fit of rage.

The boatman got Xu Yuanning on the boat for her under the bewilderment of a lot of money, and now he saw that he was going to kill someone and was about to save people. Shen Yue was embarrassed and angry, where would he let him save him, and told him that this matter was unaware of the ghost, and it had nothing to do with him, as long as he was willing to hide it for her, she would give him another sum of money.

The boatman did not save Xu Yuanning under the temptation of the previous one, but drove the boat back to the shore.

Xu Yuanning's search and rescue has not stopped, and the entire river has been blocked. But a week later, there is still no news. During this week, Senior Brother Qiu came over, and Professor Xu also came back.

At the beginning, Senior Brother Qiu, like Zhou He, waited with hope. But in the end, there was silence.

Xu Yuanning's search and rescue was stopped half a month later. During this long period of suffering, Xu's father and mother have gradually accepted that their son cannot survive.

Zhou He sat by the river all night on the day he stopped the search and rescue. In her young life, she has already experienced the death of her loved ones twice. She subconsciously resisted and was unwilling to accept it, and her tears were about to fall, but she was held back alive.

She preferred to believe that he was alive, in some corner of the world that she couldn't see.

Zhou He took a long leave and sat alone for a long time without talking. She had terrible insomnia, and she was afraid of being alone like never before, and she was afraid of being alone.

During the day, I sleep at home with my head covered, and at night I go to a lively bar. I ordered wine and drank it one by one. It seems that only in such a lively occasion does she not feel lonely.

The Xu family prepared a funeral for Xu Yuanning, but she did not go. That day, she was so drunk at home that she collapsed on the floor looking at the ceiling, tears lingering as if the thread had been broken.

She hated herself, hated her for this time, and never asked Xu Yuanning about the relationship between him and Shen Yue. hated her, knowing that Shen Yue was a crazy person to the extreme, he didn't carefully remind Xu Yuanning that he should be careful. If she had thought of reminding him first, he wouldn't have gone to her without any defense. It won't be the same as it is now.

Zhou He didn't know how much wine he had drunk, but later, Xu Yuanning's gentle smiling face appeared in front of him. She muttered softly to Senior Brother Xu, reaching out to grab him. But when his hand stretched out, he couldn't catch him, only his gentle smiling face stayed in front of him.

Without warning, her tears fell, curled up and wept bitterly in the dark room with the curtains drawn. It wasn't until the tears dried up and she couldn't fall anymore that she fell asleep with swollen eyes and tiredness.
