278. Missing
,!
I didn't say anything about Dingkun's words
Chen Lina saw that I was stunned, so she gently pushed me, and I looked at her sideways.
She lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
I shook my head at her, and then said to Dingkun on the other end of the phone, "Then I'll wait for you in Dingyue Pavilion." ”
Dingkun responded with a good word.
I hung up.
After hanging up the phone, I said to Chen Lina: "Dingkun wants to come over and say that he will return the key to my wedding room with Chen Qingchuan before." ”
When Chen Lina heard this, she was surprised and said, "What? The key to the wedding room? ”
I said, "He used to live there all along. ”
Chen Lina was speechless.
She said, "If he wants to send it, give it away, whatever." ”
I said: "It is said that the decoration of his and Lin Yutang's wedding room is almost out, and the two of them may have to move in after a while." ”
Chen Lina patted me on the shoulder and said, "That's good, isn't it?" Leave it alone, let them go! ”
I smiled and didn't speak.
That's right, they're all divorced, and they still live in their ex-wife's house, which is really not suitable, and it's good to take out the key.
After that, we waited for Dingkun for more than ten minutes, and after Dingkun arrived, I didn't expect me to be with Chen Lina, his eyes fell on Chen Lina, and he symbolically greeted her.
Chen Lina didn't wait to see him, rolled her eyes, and turned her eyes to the side.
Dingkun then looked at me, and he greeted me: "Miss Xu." ”
I hummed at him, and I didn't react too enthusiastically.
He didn't say much to me, but handed me the key and said, "The key is for you, and please go over and change the password." ”
I said, "Well, I know. ”
Dingkun stood there for a while, probably seeing that our expressions were not very enthusiastic, so he said, "The key is for you, and I will go first." ”
I didn't speak.
Dingkun didn't stay any longer, he got back into the car.
After Chen Lina and I looked at Dingkun in the distance, I looked down at the key in my hand.
Chen Lina said, "Why don't you move in?" ”
I shook my head and said to her, "No, I'm not used to living there." ”
I thought about it and said, "Lina, I want to sell this house." ”
Chen Lina looked at me in surprise.
I looked up at her and said, "It's good to sell, it's just raw ashes here." ”
Chen Lina said: "This is your marriage to Chen Qingchuan...", but he paused halfway through his words and didn't say any more.
She knew that we were going to get rid of the relationship, so she didn't stop it, and agreed: "It's good to sell, your idea is good." ”
After Chen Qingchuan gave me the key, I started to sell the house, but selling the house is not something that can be completed quickly in a few days.
And because Chen Lina found me a new job, I also decided to give it a try, so I started to get busy with my new job.
Chen Lina found me a job as a newspaper editor, this job is not busy, but not tired, the first day I went to work, the people there were either leisurely drinking afternoon tea, or gathering together to chat.
My colleagues were very enthusiastic, and basically after only a day of going there, they started to mingle.
The only thing I didn't do was that the company was a bit far from where I lived, and I took the bus in the morning, which took about an hour.
Chen Lina originally planned to let me drive by myself, but I had no interest in driving, and my driving skills were not good enough, so I thought about it, and it was not a good thing to move to find a house near the company, and it would save me from looking down here.
I talked to Chen Lina about this matter, and she naturally didn't ask a question, and she agreed with me very much, how convenient and how to come.
As soon as the two of us discussed it, I began to look for a house and move a house, but fortunately, everything was quite successful, and it was almost two or three days to get all these things done.
On the day of the move, Chen Lina came to help me move, and the two of us took care of everything, and we were busy until the evening, which was almost done.
Chen Lina is the same person as me, a person who has not touched the spring water since she was a child, this time for me is rarely busy, and thanks to her, I decided that I would not cook that night, and decided to cook for her again.
But Chen Lina didn't think about it and refused directly: "I have a date tonight, I have to go, rice, you can cook it for yourself." ”
After she finished speaking, she began to sit cross-legged on the couch and put on her makeup.
When I saw her like this, I guessed that she was going on a date with her boyfriend, and I couldn't help but ask, "This time, are you playing, or are you serious?" ”
As soon as I said this, she touched the foundation's hand for a moment, then looked up at me, and she didn't hesitate to say, "Of course it's serious, are you still talking about playing?" ”
She thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to come with me and have dinner with him?" ”
Thinking of this, I immediately shook my head and said, "No, you can eat, I still have a bunch of things to clean up." ”
Chen Lina smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll meet the above sooner or later." After she finished speaking, her face was undisguised with joy, and she continued to apply foundation to her face.
I used to be very curious about who Chen Lina's boyfriend was, but now I'm not curious at all, I seem to be really happy now, as a friend, I am naturally happy for her.
After she finished putting on her makeup, she didn't want to stay in it for a second, and slipped away happily like a bird, while I, standing in the newly moved house, was stunned for a while, and then continued to clean up the house.
The house here is naturally not as good as the apartment at least the one you live in, a little shabby, but fortunately, the space is enough, so it is very comfortable and warm to pack it up.
Because Chen Lina is gone, I only need to take care of my own food, and I don't plan to go out, so I just went to the kitchen and ordered noodles, and it was all improvised.
Although it was very idle most of the time, it was still very busy when it was busy, and the day after the move, the newspaper announced that it had to work overtime until midnight.
I was a little surprised that I had an afternoon tea party yesterday. I'm going to have to work overtime until midnight today.
Compared to my surprise, the veteran employees here are accustomed to it, and they have begun to prepare for several shifts in an orderly manner.
At first, I thought that the newspaper that Chen Lina found for me was biased towards financial analysis in this area, but after two or three days of mixing here, I found that it was entertainment news and the like.
I'm in charge of the news editor, and the newspaper has a special paparazzi and entertainment editors to go out.
So when celebrities have scandals and incidents, the newspaper office is so busy that they can't stop, and when the entertainment industry is quiet and undisturbed, basically everyone is drinking tea and chatting.
At first, I was a little reluctant to do this kind of work, after all, in the editing section, the words are exaggerated, and no matter how you look at it, I think it is very exaggerated.
But thinking about it later, compared to the boring and boring kind of finance, it is quite fun to stay in this kind of entertainment club and listen to gossip and gossip.
So when the supervisor notified us to work overtime until midnight, it was naturally a storm in the entertainment industry, and it was a certain star who was cheating and was photographed, or the owner behind the heroine was exposed.
I haven't been around for long, so naturally I'll be asked to work directly, basically in the stage of learning and acceptance, plus doing chores.
Naturally, it was Director Jiang who had dinner with us last time, although Chen Lina greeted him and asked him not to take extra care of me, what should be done.
But Director Jiang is still quite sophisticated, and when others are ready to work overtime all night, he will leave work early for me, a newcomer.
As soon as he said this, all my colleagues who were busy there stopped their movements and looked at me.
This Director Jiang is usually a well-known vampire, and he is basically notoriously strict with his employees, so they may not expect him to be so considerate to me, a new employee, and they are naturally surprised.
And of course I won't be so ignorant, in the face of everyone's attention, I smiled at Director Jiang and said, "No, Director Jiang, although I am a newcomer, if you can rest assured of me, if there is anything to tell me, I will try to be careful, there will be no mistakes, please rest assured." ”
When he heard me say this, he was surprised to see that he knew who I was, and that he had only thought I had come here to mess around.
He looked at me for a long time, but he didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, you will work overtime here." Another colleague came to me and said, "Xiao Liu, you come and bring Xiao Xu." ”
The colleague nodded immediately, and after Director Jiang had assigned, he entered his office, and I naturally followed the colleague he assigned to me and let the other party teach me.
I don't have anything to do when I go back anyway, and my colleagues here are very friendly and humorous, and they stay and stay.
However, this overtime is far from being as simple as the middle of the night, but almost at 6 o'clock in the morning, when the newspaper publishes the first-hand news in hand and prints it, I am almost dizzy.
Although my colleagues in the office were a little tired, they were all in good spirits, and when I cleaned up the desk, I was even invited out for coffee and breakfast.
I was so sleepy that I didn't want to lift my elbows, and I wanted to roll into bed and fall asleep immediately, so I naturally refused my colleague's invitation.
At the same time, they naturally saw that it was the first time that I had stayed up for so long, and knew that I was tired, and they didn't mind that I refused, but just smiled and said that let me get used to it for a few more nights, and then I would naturally be as easy as them.
After laughing and talking to them, I was very sleepy because they were going out for coffee together, so I went back to rest.
When I got back that day, I slept at home in the dark.
During that time, the newspaper office was very busy, and I basically didn't have any other thoughts about anything else, I went to and from work every day, or laughed with my colleagues, and my life basically returned to the way before.
And Chen Lina is right, if you have no intention of meeting the other party, it will be difficult for you and the other party to go up and down the stairs.
After Chen Qingchuan sent Dingkun to return the key to me, we never met again, nor did we hear anything about him.
Chen Lina and I rarely saw each other during that time, except for the day when she helped me move, she only called me a few times, and most of the calls were to ask me how my current work was, whether it was good, and whether it was suitable for me.
I'm very satisfied with my work now, and I don't find it boring at all, so every time she asks me, I reply with complete satisfaction.
Chen Lina didn't know what she was busy with during that time. We had two phone calls, and then we didn't get in touch again.
After that, I continued to focus on my work, and I was almost slowly on the road at work.
Just when I was so busy at the newspaper office every day that my feet didn't touch the ground, one afternoon I received a call from Lu Ming, and my first reaction was to refuse directly, but I didn't answer.
I was very busy, so I pressed the reject button again and continued to work on what I was doing.
But at seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Yunqing called again, I didn't want to have any more contact with the Lu family, so I refused again, and was about to pack up my things and get off work.
The mobile phone vibrated again, and a text message came in, it was Lu Yunqing, and she said on the phone: "Miss Xu, my brother is missing, please call me back." ”
When I saw this message, my first reaction was to frown, and then a colleague next to me came over and said to me, "Kaiyan, it's time to get off work." ”
I looked back at her, smiled at her and said, "Okay, you go first." ”
When the colleague heard this, he smiled and nodded, and left with the other colleagues.
After they left, I held my phone and looked at it for a while, and then hurried to the pantry, when the company was empty.
I broadcast a phone call to Lu Yunqing, and when the phone called, Lu Yunqing was crying.
But I was stunned for a few seconds, I didn't know what was going on, and when I heard her crying, I immediately said, "Miss Lu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Yunqing cried on the other end of the phone and said, "Xu Kaiyan, has my brother contacted you?" ”
I thought of a phone call he had given me earlier, and I hurriedly said, "I called at one o'clock, but I was busy and didn't receive it." ”
Lu Yunqing said: "He had a quarrel with my father, and he hasn't come back since yesterday morning, and everyone in the family can't find where he is, and he's going crazy!" ”
I listened, I didn't expect it to be like this, Lu Yunqing cried fiercely on the other end of the phone, and even spoke a little incoherently, she said: "Xu Kaiyan, I beg you, please help me find your brother, now only you can contact him, don't let him avoid us, and we are very worried about him, because it looks really not good." ”
Facing Lu Yunqing's crying, I could only comfort her on the phone and said, "Miss Lu, don't worry, I'll call Lu Ming now, if I find him, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”
Lu Yunqing said: "Xu Kaiyan, we can only rely on you now, you must help us find it." ”
I soothed her and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lu. ”
After making the phone call with Lu Yunqing, I immediately broadcast to Lu Ming, but the phone rang until the end but no one answered.
As long as the phone is not turned off, then it will always be answered, and I kept dialing repeatedly in the pantry with my mobile phone.
After dialing for a while, there was still no answer, I knew that I would never find Lu Mingren, so I called Cao Jie again and asked him if he had seen Lu Ming, or if Lu Ming had contacted him today.
Cao Jiedang replied to me on the phone that he had not contacted him since the last time they met at the bar.
I knew that Cao Jie would not lie, so I hung up the phone again, and was about to call Tan Hui to ask about the situation, but his number had not been found yet, but an unfamiliar number had called me.
I had never seen that number before, so I hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the answer button.
A familiar and unfamiliar female voice came from inside, and she said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Xu Kaiyan, long time no see." ”
My hand tightened with the phone.
Seeing that I didn't respond, the female voice on the other end of the phone smiled and asked, "What, don't you remember me?" Or Miss Xu can't hear me? ”
I didn't expect it to be Xie Yishuang.
This was a surprise to me.
But the accident is an accident, I think it is not a good thing for her to contact me, I clutched the mobile phone, changed the direction to answer the phone, I looked downstairs at the window, and said to Xie Yishuang on the other end of the phone: "Say it." What are you looking for from me? ”
Xie Yishuang chuckled, she didn't talk to me about the past, but asked directly: "Are you looking for Lu Ming?" ”
I didn't expect her to ask such a sentence?
I was surprised, but I didn't admit it or deny it.
After all, it seems that the comer is not good.
Xie Yishuang said: "You don't have to hide it from me, what is the situation of Lu Ming now, my ex-wife knows much better than your former ex-girlfriend, if you want to know where Lu Ming is at this time, I can even tell you, the question is whether you want to know or not." ”
I don't know the purpose of Xie Yishuang's phone call today, and I don't know how she knew that Lu Ming was missing, could it be that Lu Yunqing also told her? Or did Lu Ming go to her?
All of these possibilities seem to be possible.
I don't know if I should trust Xie Yishuang.
She knew I had this concern, and she said on the other end of the phone, "You don't have to worry about any conspiracy I have, I'll just tell you where he is now, if you believe it, go and look for it, if you don't believe it, don't listen." ”
She chuckled, was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and said, "I'll send you a text message at the address, you can go and see for yourself." ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for me to answer, and hung up the phone directly, there was a beep disconnection sound from inside, and then there was a vibration in my mobile phone, I put the phone down from my ear and clicked on the text message.
She sent me the address of a bar.
I looked at the address for a long time, then locked the screen of my phone, simply pushed the door and went out of the pantry, then picked up my coat and bag from the desk and walked out.
I called Lu Ming while walking, but still no one answered, so I called Lu Yunqing again, I didn't know if Xie Yishuang's words were credible, I still told her the news for the time being, and told her that I would rush over there first.
After I finished talking to Lu Yunqing on the phone, I stopped a car downstairs in the company and asked the driver to rush to that address.
At this time, it was already dark, A city was full of traffic, the time point was the peak of traffic jams, I kept raising my hand to look at the time, and looked out of the window, fortunately, today's jam is not as serious as usual, almost ten minutes, and it was smooth all the way.
When I got there, exactly eight o'clock, I paid the driver, got out of the taxi, and walked straight to the bar.
A few security guards at the door didn't stop me and let me in.
The bar was bustling with young men and women, twisting their waists and shaking their heads in the baths.
There were a few men who stopped me in my way and tried to strike up a conversation with me, and I pushed them hard.
The address Xie Yishuang sent me was quite specific, there were many private rooms on several floors, and I walked upstairs directly according to the address she gave.
The second floor was very noisy, there were very few security guards, and when I got to the third floor, there were two security guards who stopped me directly, and they looked at me and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
I didn't expect this to be the case, so I said to the two security guards: "I laugh at Lu Ming, Lu Ming of the Lu family." ”
I know. The relationship between City A is complicated, and this kind of bright and colorful place is basically opened by acquaintances, so I am not afraid that they will not know me, so I directly reported my name to them and said: "I am Xu Kaiyan, Xu Kaiyan of Fu'an." ”
I was afraid that they would not believe it, so I gave them my papers.
The two security guards took a look, and soon they looked up at me again, probably thinking that it was not fake, and the two of them looked at each other, and then did not stop me again, and gave way to me.
They are quite knowledgeable, and from their expressions, it can be seen that Lu Ming should be here, and after I took back my documents from them, I walked in directly.
I found the box room number in the text message according to the address given by Xie Yishuang, and when I arrived at the door of the room, I stopped, did not rush in directly, but reached out and knocked on the door twice, and I shouted twice: "Lu Ming!" ”
But there was no response from inside, and I couldn't care so much, so I just pushed the door in.
It was quiet, and there was no one in the private room, only the overhead lights turning in the dimly lit room.
Inexplicably, my heart was a little panicked, and I called again: "Lu Ming..."
The room echoed, and there was no response.
There was a sound of water ticking in the room, I don't know where it came from, but I listened carefully, and it seemed to be coming from the bathroom in the private room.
My eyes fell on the door in the corner of the private room, and I looked at it for a while, and then I approached the door step by step, and as I stood at the door of the bathroom, the whispering of water became clearer and clearer.
I raised my hand to knock on the door, but when I raised my hand slightly, I paused, and simply reached out and pushed the door hard.
Door "Bang! He slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
There was a man sitting underground, and when he heard the sound, he immediately looked up in astonishment.
I also looked down at the people underground, but then, my gaze changed from stunned to stunned and frightened.
My eyes fell on the syringe that the man was crumbling on.
I leaned back, and the man's expression changed from surprise to eerie smile when he saw me.
My body was pressed against the cold door, and his body was spasming.
Convulsing happily, he took deep breaths over and over again, and there were bottles and cans scattered all over the ground.
