27. Chapter 27
On Mother's Day, when Cheng Zhijin flipped through the calendar, he suddenly realized that his parents had not contacted her for more than ten days, and there was not even a postcard to report safety, and he was faintly uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Fu Shaobai saw that her face was wrong.
"Today is the second Sunday of May, and my parents haven't contacted me yet, so I'm worried about ......" Cheng Zhijin hugged his arms and didn't dare to think about it.
Fu Shaobai hugged her, "Don't worry too much, if something really happens, the person in charge of the Adventure Club will also contact you." No news right now may be good news. โ
"But my parents have never been without contact with me for so long." Cheng Zhijin's brows furrowed tightly.
"Is there any way you can contact them?"
Cheng Zhijin shook his head, "I was able to contact them by phone before, but I basically can't contact them if they don't give me news in the past few months." โ
Fu Shaobai was silent for a moment and said, "Call the club, they have the responsibility to understand the situation of the team members and ensure the safety of the team members." โ
"I should have the club's phone number." Cheng Zhijin rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and finally found the number in a yellowed phone book, and no one answered when he dialed it. Cheng Zhijin was so anxious that his hands began to tremble, "Answer the phone, answer the phone ......"
Fu Shaobai held her hand and pulled the phone, "The number is wrong, I'll come." He put away her phone book and skillfully dialed another number, the adventure club had already moved for a long time, and the number she remembered was already empty.
"That's it." Fu Shaobai returned the phone to her.
"Hey, hello. My surname is Cheng, my parents participated in your club's adventure activities and I can't contact them now, can you help me get in touch? โ
"Could you please give me your name?" The voice of the customer service is very formulaic.
"Cheng Mingsheng, He Jin."
"Wait a minute."
Cheng Zhijin's mobile phone was clenched tightly, and he waited for a long time and didn't reply.
Fu Shaobai pulled her to sit down, "Relax, the phone is going to be crushed." โ
"I've been waiting for Miss Cheng for a long time." Finally there was a reply.
"How's it going, is there any news?" Cheng Zhijin was even more nervous.
"I'll let the person in charge tell you." The phone was noisy, and the person who answered the phone had changed someone, "Hello, is it Miss Cheng?" โ
"Yes."
"We are deeply sorry for the disappearance of Mr. Cheng and Ms. He, and we sent you a letter a week ago to explain what happened. Originally, I wanted to call you directly, but some time ago, when the office moved and encountered heavy rain, your contact information was soaked in water, and you couldn't see it clearly, only the mailing address. We have also sent people to Sri Lanka to negotiate with the police there, and every day we have reported back that no casualties have been found, but there is no real progress. Didn't you receive a letter from us? โ
Cheng Zhijin's mobile phone fell to the ground with a tom, and the whole person was wooden.
"What's the matter?" Fu Shaobai picked up his phone, "Hey." The person in charge told Fu Shaobai what he had just said again, and Fu Shaobai's face was gloomy, "No matter what, you must try your best to find someone." We will also find a way, and we hope that you can let us know as soon as there is any news. You write down another phone number, and we'll turn it on 24 hours a day. โ
Fu Shaobai hung up the phone and saw Cheng Zhijin turning the bookcase all over the place, and kept reading in his mouth, "Letters, letters, where are I, where did I put them......" She reached out and took the cactus ball covered with needles.
"Cheng Zhijin, calm down!" Fu Shaobai was still a step late, and all the stabs were pierced into her flesh, as if they were pierced on the tip of his heart.
"I'm looking for a letter, my parents must have had an accident, something must have happened......" Cheng Zhijin regretted guilty, she was afraid that she missed the best time to save because of her negligence, if something happened to her parents because of the lack of time...... She didn't dare to think that she would hate herself for the rest of her life.
Fu Shaobai grabbed her wrist, "The thorns in your hands will become inflamed if you don't pick them out." โ
"I'm fine, I don't hurt at all." Cheng Zhijin struggled, his eyes were red.
Fu Shaobai couldn't help but forcibly carry her to the balcony, where the light was good.
"Don't move." One by one, he pulled out most of the thorns, and some were broken in the flesh. He sighed and looked up at her, "I know how you're feeling right now, it's happened, what you have to do now is calm down." Calmly think about what you have to do with your parents and see if there are any clues that can lead to them. He went into the house and found her storage box, the steel needle alcohol, "It might hurt a little, bear with it." โ
The tip of the needle picked up the flesh, and he was distressed when he looked at it, but she didn't snort.
"I can't find the letter, have I received the letter......" Cheng Zhijin was stunned.
Fu Shaobai carefully applied anti-inflammatory ointment to her, "You can't find such an important letter, maybe it was sent to the wrong door number, and you didn't receive it at all." "The things in this house, Fu Shaobai is afraid that they are more familiar than her.
Cheng Zhijin got up, "It must have been sent by mistake." She ran out downstairs and almost bumped into the old lady of the landlady, "Teacher Cheng, what's wrong?" "I have never seen such a gaffe Cheng Zhijin.
"Auntie, have you received a letter signed by me by mistake?" Cheng Zhijin was incoherent.
The old lady of the landlord really remembered for a long time, "I seem to ...... I received a letter with foreign words on it, and I couldn't read it and I didn't know whose it was. โ
Cheng Zhijin grabbed the old lady, "Where?" โ
"Tap, tap, my old bone." The old lady took her to the house, and she couldn't remember where to put it.
"Auntie, think about it again." Cheng Zhi was in a hurry.
"I'm ...... Where to put it. The old lady took a chair, "You go up and help me take down the box on top of the cupboard, where there are all the letters from me and my wife from the past." โ
Cheng Zhijin took the shoebox and filled it with a box of letters, she looked for them one by one, but there was none.
"Auntie, is that all?"
"That's all there is to it, there is really no more." The landlady is also strange, she will collect the letters, and she will not put them indiscriminately, let alone throw them away.
Cheng Zhijin suddenly remembered something, "Auntie borrowed your flashlight to use." She turned on the flashlight and lay down under the cabinet on the ground, and sure enough, she found a letter covered in dust and blew it clean, "This is it." "This is probably the original letter sent back from Sri Lanka, so the envelope is written in English, but a Chinese report is attached inside, and the old lady did not open it to see it, so I don't know that it is Cheng Zhijin."
"Is this the one you're looking for?" The old lady asked her.
"Yes, that's it, thank you." Cheng Zhi gratefully gave the old lady a hug and went upstairs.
Fu Shaobai kept answering the phone with a solemn expression.
"I found the letter." Cheng Zhijin waved the envelope at him, and Fu Shaobai immediately hung up the phone, "Where did you find it?" โ
"The postman delivered it to the landlord's house, but fortunately the old lady didn't throw it away." Cheng Zhijin unfolded the letter, the two language versions said that the situation was similar, Cheng Zhijin's parents did not return to the team after leaving the team for some reason, and the team members who accompanied the team asked the locals for help to find it for a day and a night, and immediately called the police. The letter also specifically mentioned that Cheng Mingsheng and He Jin opened a Lianming safe in the bank, and if they encountered an accident, Cheng Zhijin would take this certificate to open the safe.
"Why did my parents talk about the bank safe deposit box, did they know that something was going to happen to them early on?" Cheng Zhijin carefully read the letter countless times from beginning to end, and felt strange.
Fu Shaobai's eyes fluctuated slightly, "Maybe we can find the answer in the safe." โ
Cheng Zhijin was puzzled, "How do you know?" โ
"Intuition." Fu Shaobai said affirmatively.
Cheng Zhijin and Fu Shaobai found the bank according to the address on the letter, and the figures of the two at the door of the bank were quickly photographed by a telephoto telelens hiding in the dark, and the photos were transmitted instantly.
Ji Zepeng, who received the photo, stared and pondered, Fu Shaobai, Fu Shaobai...... It's really similar, every angle is like it, and he looks down his spine.
Two knocks interrupted his thoughts.
"Come in." Ji Zepeng raised his eyes and pushed the door in Ji Yinan, "Dad, you look for me." โ
Ji Zepeng nodded, "How about the things I asked you to investigate?" โ
Ji Yinan frowned, "I can find out all the information about Fu Shaobai on the bright side, and I can't dig deeper." โ
Ji Zepeng narrowed his eyes, "I underestimated him." โ
"Dad, what is it about Fu Shaobai that attracts you so much, my mother is suspicious every time she mentions him." Ji Yinan was very puzzled.
Ji Zepeng straightened his mind, "Your mother is not in good health, and you don't have to pay attention to what you say when you are suspicious." We can't touch a ruthless character like Fu Shaobai, we must find his weakness and kill him with one blow, understand? โ
"Understood."
Ji Zepeng handed a photo to Ji Yinan, "Send someone to the bank to keep an eye on it, I want to know all his movements." โ
"I'll arrange it right away." Ji Yinan took the photo and had no intention of leaving, "Dad, I want to take my mother home to live." โ
Ji Zepeng raised his eyebrows, "Did the doctor say she could be discharged from the hospital?" โ
"Nope. My mom told me she wanted to go home, and I couldn't bear to leave her alone in the hospital. โ
Ji Zepeng was silent, thinking and suspicious.
"Dad?" Ji Yinan doesn't know when it became strange between his parents.
"Okay, you can go." Ji Zepeng agreed.
Although Ji Yinan had doubts, he didn't ask too much and turned around and went out.
Ji Zepeng rubbed his forehead, his son should take care of something when he grows up. The Ji family, which he has worked hard to build for so many years, is just like the sky, and the Fu family has long been rotten in the loess. No one wants to shake the kingdom that belongs to him, even if Fu Heng comes back from the dead, no one thinks!
Ji Zepeng tore up the photo and his face was gloomy, "Fu Shaobai, you shouldn't appear, you shouldn't be surnamed Fu." โ

"Hello Miss, what business do you want to do?" The bank lobby service asked with a smile.
Fu Shaobai shook Cheng Zhijin's hand, and she spoke, "My surname is Cheng, and my parents rented a safe here, and I want to open it." โ
"Please come and sit in the break room for a while, and I'll call the manager." The lobby service led them to the VIP lounge.
Fu Shaobai patted Cheng Zhijin and let her relax.
The manager quickly came over, holding the information in his hand, "Is it Miss Cheng Zhijin?" โ
Cheng Zhijin got up, "I am." โ
"Please sit down, please take a seat." The manager opened the information bag, "Mr. Cheng Mingsheng and Ms. He Jin did rent a safe deposit box with us. โ
"What's inside?" Cheng Zhijin asked nervously.
"Miss Cheng can open the safe and see for herself." The manager didn't answer directly, because he wasn't sure if opening the safe was really what the person meant.
"I don't know......" Cheng Zhijin was held down by Fu Shaobai before he finished speaking, "If it's not the party concerned, how can I open the safe?" He had already seen the manager's suspicions.
The manager cleared his throat, "Only Mr. Cheng Mingsheng's fingerprints can open the safe. โ
"Banks will set up special passwords to prevent accidents." Fu Shaobai asked directly: "How can the bank help us open the safe?" โ
The manager looked at Cheng Zhijin, "Mr. Cheng Mingsheng and our bank agreed that if he dies, Miss Cheng can ask the bank to open the safe. The premise is that Ms. Cheng is required to provide Mr. Cheng Mingsheng's death certificate. โ
Cheng Zhijin got up, "My father is not dead!" โ
"Don't get excited." Fu Shaobai pulled her to sit down and turned her head to look at the manager, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have lost contact, and they mentioned the bank safe deposit box in their last letter to us, and we think it is possible to find any clues in it." Wouldn't the bank be able to accommodate either? โ
The manager was embarrassed, "I'm sorry, either Miss Cheng will come with a death certificate, or the police will come with a search warrant." โ
"Forget it." Cheng Zhijin got up and walked out.
Fu Shaobai left a business card, "Hand this to you President Yu, and he will contact me." He left in astonishment as the manager, and the manager carefully looked at the business card, "Fu Shaobai?" What a person, such a big breath. โ
"Be careful-" Fu Shaobai took two steps over and pulled Cheng Zhijin back, and she actually rushed into the traffic alone. "Cheng Zhijin, you don't want to die!" He roared angrily, her arm was pinched by him, and her eyes were red, "I'm going to Sri Lanka, can you accompany me to Sri Lanka?" โ
With her like this, Fu Shaobai has no anger at all.
"Would you like to go with me, we'll go right away." Cheng Zhijin clenched his hand with tears in his eyes.
Fu Shaobai palmed the back of her head and pressed her into his chest, "I'll accompany you." But should you go to school and take a leave of absence before you go, and we won't be able to leave until tomorrow at the earliest. โ
Cheng Zhijin nodded in his arms, soaking his chest.
Cheng Zhijin went to the school to ask for leave, did not say in too much detail, only said that there was an accident at home, and the school refused to ask her to make it clear, and she had no choice but to hand over the resignation letter. Director Zhao knew about her family's situation and privately approved her for a week's leave.
When he went home, Fu Shaobai made all the arrangements, luggage, antibiotics, painkillers, disinfectant alcohol, and Lu Yuan to go to the bank to exchange huร n.
"Excuse me?" Fu Shaobai turned his back to her to sort out her passport and visa. Cheng Zhijin hugged him from behind, "I'm sorry husband." Fu Shaobai's hand paused, "Huh? โ
"You say I'm impulsive, or she's doing useless work, I must go there myself."
"I support you in whatever you do, and I'll accompany you on Dao Mountain."
Cheng Zhijin stuck it on his back, "Thank you, husband." โ
Fu Shaobai turned around, "I'll clean up my things, go take a bath, sleep well, and set off tomorrow." โ
"Hmm." Cheng Zhijin obediently went to the bathroom.
Fu Shaobai sent an email to his assistant, don't bother him no matter what happens for a week. He raised his eyes to stare at the Lu Coin on the table, his heart was faintly uneasy, he guessed many possibilities, and the last one he wanted was related to his transaction.
Cheng Zhijin worked very hard to make herself fall asleep, and she had to keep her spirits up. Fu Shaobai sat in the dark all night.
On the bus to the airport, Cheng Zhijin asked him, "What's wrong with your eyes, you didn't sleep well last night?" โ
"In the middle of the night, I wanted to write a fun pavilion www.biquge.info send an email to explain the incident to Wu Ben, and then I couldn't sleep. I'll sleep on the plane. Fu Shaobai put on sunglasses.
Cheng Zhijin stretched out his palm and interlocked his fingers, "I made you worried?" โ
Fu Shaobai tightened her hand and pulled it into his arms, "Don't want me to worry and promise me, listen to me when you get there, don't be impulsive." โ
"Okay."
When the plane took off, Cheng Zhijin's ears hurt badly, and Fu Shaobai reached out to cover it for her, "There are mints in the bag you carry." โ
Cheng Zhijin took one in his mouth, and it was much better.
The plane finally flew smoothly, Fu Shaobai took his hand and asked her, "Are you okay?" โ
"It's fine." She looked very bad and was a little airsick.
Fu Shaobai beckoned the flight attendant to come over, he got up and whispered a few words to the passengers, and the flight attendant nodded again and again and walked away.
Soon, the flight attendant returned, "Mr. and Mrs., please bring your belongings here." โ
Cheng Zhijin looked at Fu Shaobai suspiciously, he led her to get up, "There is just a place in the first-class cabin, we can all lie down well." โ
Cheng Zhijin grabbed him, "I'...... We didn't have that much money with us, and we were going to stay in Sri Lanka for a week. โ
"Don't worry about money." Fu Shaobai took her away.
The first class cabin has plenty of private space, and the leather sofas are soft enough to lie down and get a good night's sleep. She pillowed Fu Shaobai's arm, and he rubbed the top of her hair, "If you feel uncomfortable, you have to make a sound, don't let yourself endure it." โ
Cheng Zhijin wrapped his waist around his abdomen, "You will spoil me." โ
Fu Shaobai smiled, "If you get used to it, you can't do without me." โ
Cheng Zhijin hugged him tightly.
When the plane lands, there are 24-hour free circulation buses at the airport. After getting out of the car, Fu Shaobai asked Cheng Zhijin to wait on the side of the road, and he went to buy a local map. Cheng Zhijin, who was standing alone on the side of the road, was quickly targeted, first a local woman came to talk to her, her dark skin and teeth were very white, and she looked natural and simple, she asked Cheng Zhijin in English if she needed accommodation. Cheng Zhijin smiled and refused to say that he was waiting for someone.
The woman had no intention of leaving, and asked her if she had come for her honeymoon. Cheng Zhijin only smiled and did not speak. The women are still enthusiastic, telling her what are the fun and beautiful places that must not be missed, the first is the Temple of the Buddha's Tooth Relic, which is famous for enshrined in the tooth relics of the national treasure Shakyamuni, and it is said that the wish is very effective so the incense is prosperous.
Mother believes in Buddhism, Cheng Zhijin thinks that such a famous temple mother will not miss it, maybe the master there will be impressed. Cheng Zhijin finally let down his guard and talked to the women, and asked about the route and opening hours of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Seeing that her companion had succeeded, the woman made an excuse and hurried away. Cheng Zhijin still didn't know what was going on.
When Fu Shaobai bought the map, he asked the shopkeeper about the attractions that tourists were keen on and which places were forbidden. So after a little delay, when he came back, the suitcase was gone, and the bag on Cheng Zhijin's shoulder was also cut with a big hole. ID cards, passports, wallets, and clothes are all gone.
Cheng Zhijin cried anxiously, "I thought she just wanted to get business and talked to me, I really don't know ......"
"I know, I know." Fu Shaobai hugged her, "This kind of thing will always happen once and you can't hide it, let's find a way when the thing is gone, don't cry." โ
"I'm so useless." Cheng Zhi regretted it.
"She always has something to attract you to steal from you." Fu Shao's white heart is like a mirror.
Cheng Zhijin raised his head, "She said that I only relaxed my vigilance when she said the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, my mother believes in Buddhism, so they will definitely go to the temple." โ
"Since we lost our things, we are not in a hurry to find a place to live, so we will go to the Temple of the Tooth Relic first." Fu Shaobai called to report the loss of all cards and documents. His wallet was stolen together in Cheng Zhijin's bag.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is tightly guarded, the entrance is guarded by the military police, all those who enter the temple must be checked, those who enter the temple must take off their shoes, and the clothing must be dignified and can not show their shoulders and thighs.
The ticket of 2,000 Lu Yuan is now a sky-high price for Fu Shaobai and Cheng Zhijin, and the cash they brought is not much, and the RMB and โกโก are all lost, and tonight's accommodation is a problem.
In the middle of the inner hall enshrines a huge seated Buddha, the golden light is shining, solemn and kind, Cheng Zhijin folds his hands and floats his heart calms down. There is drum music in the inner sanctum, and a solemn vow-making worship ceremony is taking place inside. Cheng Zhijin and Fu Shaobai wanted to go in, but they were stopped, and the staff in the hall told them to make a wish in the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple half a year in advance.
Fu Shaobai explained the reason and hoped to be accommodating once, the staff kept shaking their heads, and Fu Shaobai took out a photo of Cheng Mingsheng in the hope that he could really find some clues here.
The staff first shook their heads and said they didn't remember, Cheng Zhijin begged him to think again, he saw the sapphire on Cheng Zhijin's neck and suddenly remembered, "I seem to have an impression of this necklace of yours." โ
Cheng Zhijin hurriedly took off the necklace and handed it to him, "This is a gift from my parents, you must have seen my parents if you have seen the necklace." โ
He thought for a moment and said, "It is true that there is a couple who came to pray with this necklace and said that it was for their daughter, but we stipulate that we need to make an appointment in advance to make a wish. The couple waited here for half a year in order to pray for their daughter. โ
Cheng Zhijin's nose was very sore, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did they go after praying for blessings?" โ
He shook his head, "I don't know about that. โ
Cheng Zhijin grabbed his arm, "Think about it again, have you heard them say where they are going?" The staff was frightened by her, and Fu Shaobai pulled her away, "Sorry, we're just in too much of a hurry." The staff expressed understanding, "Maybe you can go to the craft shop where the necklace is inlaid and ask, the couple brought it with bare stones." โ
"Thank you." Fu Shaobai pulled Cheng Zhijin out, "What did you promise me?" โ
Cheng Zhijin wiped his eyes randomly, "I'm sorry." โ
Fu Shaobai pinched her face and lifted it, "I don't need you to tell me I'm sorry, don't let me worry, okay." โ
Cheng Zhijin nodded.
"Alright, it's getting dark and we'll need to find a place to stay."
"How much money do we have left?" Cheng Zhijin asked him.
"1,800 Rs." It is equivalent to almost 178 yuan.
Cheng Zhi regretted, "It's all my fault." We're going to sleep on the street tonight. โ
"Don't worry, my husband won't let you sleep on the street." Fu Shaobai took her hand, "Go eat something first." โ
Cheng Zhijin lined up to order, and Fu Shaobai came out to answer the phone, "Hey." โ
Ruan Ying watched him from a short distance, "QueensHotel can check in by directly reporting your name." โ
Fu Shaobai turned around and found her location accurately, she couldn't hide if she wanted to.
"Does your boss believe me?"
"We just want the deal to go smoothly and achieve a win-win situation."
Fu Shaobai glanced at Cheng Zhijin, she was still in line, and lowered her voice, "Does Cheng Mingsheng have anything to do with the loss of contact with him?" โ
Ruan Ying was silent.
"Say!" Fu Shaobai roared.
"My boss just wants things and doesn't want people's lives, and we didn't expect it to be like this, so we need to make this deal with you." Ruan Ying paused and said, "The things you need are here with my boss, and the things that my boss wants are from Cheng Zhijin, and now sit in the same boat with us." โ
Fu Shaobai was shocked, this is no longer a matter of deceiving feelings. When he decided to make this deal, he didn't think about deceiving Cheng Zhijin's feelings, from beginning to end, he said that he wanted to marry her seriously, but it had nothing to do with love. Now, he can't bear it.
