Chapter Seventy-One: Finding the Diamond Ring

In the evening, Chen Mengran returned to Sister Li's bar.

Seeing Chen Mengran come back, several colleagues who were familiar with him surrounded him to greet him. Chen Rubin punched Chen Mengran in the chest: "Your kid is finally back to work, and the family is done?"

Because he put all his energy on pursuing Meng Xiaoqian, Chen Mengran didn't have extra time to go to work, so he simply lied that he had something at home and asked for leave, so Chen Rubin said this.

"Not yet, it will be over in a few days, and today I deliberately took the time to come back and take a look. Chen Mengran said with a smile.

But it wasn't what he said it was. The real purpose of his visit this time was to find a diamond ring for Nie Yun.

At the beginning, Nie Yun handed over the ring to a waiter, but there were more than a dozen waiters in the bar, Chen Mengran didn't know who it was, and Nie Yun couldn't describe the specific appearance of that person, so Chen Mengran had to come here in person.

The bartenders in the bar have a special service area, as long as they find the place where Nie Yun was sitting at the beginning, Chen Mengran will naturally know who served Nie Yun, and then he will naturally know who took the diamond ring.

After a few more small talks, everyone went about their own business.

Under Nie Yun's guidance, Chen Mengran walked slowly to a dark corner.

"This is it. Nie Yundao.

Chen Mengran stopped, looked at the table and couldn't help frowning, the location of this wine table is Lei Sheng's area.

"I didn't expect it to be him. Chen Mengran sighed.

Thinking of Lei Sheng's resignation, Chen Mengran finally understood why Lei Sheng resigned from his job at the bar without warning.

"Do you know who it is?" asked Nie Yun.

Chen Mengran nodded: "I know, but things are more complicated than I imagined." ”

After speaking, Chen Mengran told Lei Sheng about his resignation.

"Lei Sheng usually has a good relationship with me, but he doesn't leave any contact information between them. I don't know how to find him when he's gone. ”

"Then ask the other people at the bar. ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

Chen Mengran returned to the bar and said to Chen Rubin, who was working, "Do you have Lei Sheng's phone?"

"Lei Sheng, what are you looking for him?"

"There's something I want to ask him. Chen Mengran replied vaguely.

Chen Rubin didn't continue to ask, but shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

"Do you know where he lives?"

Chen Rubin shook his head again.

"Ask the others, and maybe they know. ”

Chen Mengran went to ask other waiters again, and everyone said they didn't know. In the end, Chen Mengran found Li Hong, but she didn't have Lei Sheng's contact information there. However, Li Hongjian and Chen Mengran went to find Sister Li and said that Sister Li might have it.

So, Chen Mengran looked for Sister Li again, and finally got Lei Sheng's call.

Holding the paper with Lei Sheng's phone number, Chen Mengran didn't know what to do.

He still has a good impression of Lei Sheng, and he doesn't want to be as threatening as he was to Li Mengmeng. It's just that if he didn't threaten and hoped to use the big reason to make Lei Sheng obediently hand over the ring, Chen Mengran felt that it was unlikely, and for a while, Chen Mengran didn't know what to do.

In the end, it was Nie Yun who gave him an idea, Chen Mengran carefully considered it and felt that this method was feasible, so the next afternoon, he called Lei Sheng.

The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up.

"Who are you looking for?" There was vigilance in his voice, and Chen Mengran immediately heard that it was Lei Sheng's voice.

"It's me, I'm Chen Mengran. Chen Mengran tried to make his voice as gentle as possible.

Chen Mengran sat by the window of the hotel, waiting for Lei Sheng's arrival. Half an hour ago, he called Lei Sheng and made an appointment with him in the name of dinner, but he took the opportunity to ask him for a diamond ring.

Regarding this matter, Chen Mengran's idea is to try his best to resolve it peacefully, after all, he has a good relationship with Lei Sheng, and he must always take into account the friendship between the two.

When Lei Sheng appeared, Chen Mengran was surprised to find that his face was very haggard. This puzzled him, it stands to reason that the other party has taken such a big advantage, he should be happy, why is he worried now?

What he didn't know was that these days, Lei Sheng was not having a good time.

At the beginning, after picking up a big bargain, Lei Sheng trembled, he knew that his greedy practices were tantamount to theft, and he was likely to go to jail if he was exposed, so he resigned the next day, hoping that someone would track him down afterwards.

On the other hand, he was also anxious to get rid of the diamond ring. But he had no way. When you go to an authentic store, you don't accept it. If you want to sell it directly, many people don't know the goods. Those who know the goods also know that the diamond ring does not know where it came from, and the name engraved on the diamond ring has reduced the tens of thousands of diamond rings to one or two thousand.

Lei Sheng wanted to get rid of it, but he felt that the price was too outrageous and not worth it, so he didn't sell it. These days, he has been struggling with whether to sell or not, so much so that he hasn't slept well for several days in a row.

"Why haven't you seen you for a few days, your spirit is so decadent, is there anything difficult to do, tell me. ”

Lei Sheng hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Recently, a friend who has been playing since childhood passed away, and I am very sad in my heart, and I haven't slept well in the past few days." ”

Chen Mengran smiled secretly, secretly saying that this guy can really lie.

He didn't reveal it, he asked for a few side dishes and a case of beer, and the two of them started eating.

Chen Mengran tried his best to pour wine on Lei Sheng, and Lei Sheng did not refuse to come. I was depressed for a few days, but this time I finally found a chance to vent, how could I be polite.

Pour cup by cup into your mouth, as if you are drinking cold water instead of wine.

Soon, the table was full of empty bottles, Chen Mengran only had two bottles on the table, but Lei Sheng had seven bottles on his side.

After drinking and eating, Lei Sheng's face was flushed, and he walked with a sigh.

"I'll send you back. ”

"I can go back myself. Lei Sheng said with his tongue wide open, his steps were vague, and he looked like he could fall at any moment.

"I'll give it to you. Chen Mengran undoubtedly helped Lei Sheng into a taxi.

When the car stopped, Chen Mengran helped Lei Sheng out of the car again.

Lei Sheng's eyes were half-narrowed, and he seemed to be going to sleep at any time.

After getting out of the car, a cold wind blew, Lei Sheng shivered, and the wine was much more sober. Take a closer look, this is the urban area, only to see the surrounding green trees, rows of stone monuments standing neatly, but it is a cemetery.

"How did you get here?" Lei Sheng looked at Chen Mengran, looking puzzled.

Chen Mengran shrugged his shoulders and said, "I originally wanted to send you home, but I suddenly wanted to pay tribute to my dead cousin halfway, so I asked the driver to come here instead." ”

Lei Sheng rolled his eyes, and secretly said that you have to send me down first to pay tribute to your cousin, and it would be unlucky for me to come to such a place.

But he didn't dare to say this, people had just eaten for nothing, so how could he be embarrassed to say this.

He sighed and said, "Since you're here, let's pay tribute together." ”

Chen Mengran led the way for dozens of meters and stopped in front of a tombstone.

In front of the tombstone, there are a few sun-scorched flowers, and on both sides of the stone pier are traces of burned wax, which appear to have just been buried.

On the tombstone is a black and white photograph. The photo is of a man who looks only about 30 years old and is very handsome.

Next to the photo, the name of the deceased is engraved - Nie Yun.

That's right, this is Nie Yun's grave.

In the photo, he is smiling, although it is only a photo, but that smile is still charming. It is conceivable that if it were in reality, how many girls would be fascinated by such a smile.

Looking at this smile, Lei Sheng's eyes showed thought, this smile seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

saw Chen Mengran take out the sacrifices that had been prepared and placed them in front of the tombstone in a neat and orderly manner. Candles were lit, paper money was burned, and bows to the tombstone.

Lei Sheng also bowed down. After finishing the incident, he saw that Chen Mengran did not have the slightest idea of leaving, but took out a box of cigarettes and lit a root for Lei Sheng.

Lei Sheng took it and took a deep breath, but was stunned to find that Chen Mengran had also ordered one for himself.

"When did you learn to smoke?" asked Lei Sheng.

After so many days of colleagues, he had never seen Chen Mengran smoking.

"I never will, but I've heard people say that smoking can relieve my worries, so I'll have one too. Chen Mengran said.

After speaking, he also took a deep breath like Lei Sheng, and as a result, he coughed straight from the smoke.

"If you can't smoke, don't smoke. Lei Sheng said.

Not only did he not stop this, but he saw that Chen Mengran smoked more fiercely, and it was accompanied by a louder cough.

Lei Sheng frowned, thinking of what Chen Mengran had just said, he finally discovered that something was wrong.

"Tell me if there's anything bothering me, maybe I can help. Don't smoke this cigarette, it's too hurtful. Lei Sheng said as he snatched the only half of Chen Mengran's cigarette, fell to the ground and trampled it out.

Chen Mengran was not angry because of Lei Sheng's smoke-grabbing move, he looked at Nie Yun's tombstone and suddenly sighed.

"It's really embarrassing that I left at such a young age because of my cousin. ”

Lei Sheng didn't expect Chen Mengran to worry about this, he couldn't help with this kind of thing, so he could only comfort: "The deceased is gone, don't be too sad." ”

"It's not that I'm sad about this, it's just that my cousin died at an inopportune time. ”

Chen Mengran's words successfully aroused Lei Sheng's interest, and he asked, "What do you say?"

Chen Mengran didn't answer immediately, he took a deep look at the photo on the tombstone, and then said: "My cousin has been involved in flowers and grass all his life, and he has countless girlfriends. He started to abandon again, and I don't know how many women's hearts were broken. To be honest, his death can be said to be a gift from God to modern good women, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he died innocently. ”

Lei Sheng glanced at Chen Mengran in surprise, and then nodded in agreement: "That's true." ”

Now it is a society where there are more men and fewer women, and many young people can't find a girlfriend, and the death of such a person can liberate many bachelors. So for Chen Mengran's words, Lei Sheng, as a single dog, raised his hands in agreement.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lei Sheng realized how he could echo in this situation, and quickly changed his words: "I didn't mean that." ”

As for what it meant, he couldn't explain it, so he could only use a sneer to hide his embarrassment.

Chen Mengran smiled, and didn't blame Lei for saying something wrong. Nie Yun scolded in his mind: "Your mother, you are innocent of death." ”

Although Nie Yun also knew that many of his previous bad deeds were not done by people, but now that they were all dead, Chen Mengran still went to his grave to ridicule him, of course he couldn't help but scold and fight back.

"Don't say it's useless, hurry up and follow the script. ”
