Ji Xincheng walked towards the girl and felt that the other party was very familiar.

But the other party recognized her first, "Sister Xincheng, help me!" ”

Ji Xincheng still didn't remember who the other party was, but he was sure that he had met her.

One of the girl's arms was twisted behind her back by the man's brute force, and tears and sweat were floating on her delicate little face. Seeing Ji Xincheng approaching, the man had no intention of restraining.

"What's going on?"

The man's dress was the dress of the Si family's servant, and there was a mark on it that Si was very particular about, Ji Xincheng recognized it, so he asked out loud.

"I'm sorry this young lady, I'm educating my daughter, please don't meddle in our family affairs."

"Your daughter?"

"Yes!"

Ji Xincheng's eyes fell on the girl's face again, except for this face, her exposed skin was almost covered with bruises, Ji Xincheng resisted the urge to exclaim, looked directly at the man and said:

"You hit all these wounds?"

"This is the punishment she deserves for doing something wrong, and Miss better not be nosy."

"If you still don't let go, I'll contact the front hall now, or call the police."

Ji Xincheng took out his mobile phone and sank his face, the man had a trace of scruples, and reluctantly let go of the girl's hand.

The girl hid to Ji Xincheng's side in horror and treated her as shelter.

Ji Xincheng then remembered that she was the stand-in who had worked with the crew before, and it was said that she was still a high school student.

"Are you Lin Lin?"

Ji Xincheng remembered the name at the same time, confirmed with the girl, and she nodded as expected.

Lin Lin timidly, behind Ji Xincheng, said:

"This is my dad, working here."

Looking at the dense scars on her arms, deep and shallow, they should be the traces left by many beatings, Ji Xincheng couldn't bear it and intended to help her.

"Why did he hit you?"

"I was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Dragon City, but because of the high tuition fees, my father refused to let me go, so I stole my family's bank card to pay the tuition. I promised him that when I found a job, I would work while studying, earn money, and slowly pay it back......"

Lin Lin burst into tears, but was viciously interrupted by his father:

"Don't you know what conditions are in our house? That money is for your grandmother's medical treatment and medicine! You selfish ghost with no conscience, you only care about going to a good school, whether I live or die with your grandmother! ”

"Dad, you also have to think about my future, I can reduce the immediate burden by dropping out of school to work now, but what about the future? I don't have any skills, I'll just go back to your old ways! ”

"You, you, you were brought bad by those classmates, and you want to be a female star all day long! I think you're just daydreaming! ”

"It's not that I didn't think about you and grandma, but you won't give all the money to grandma at all, and you will be sent back to the gaming table in two days, don't think I don't know!"

"You steal your justification?!"

As the man spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Lin's hair, he hit him very hard, Ji Xincheng couldn't stop him, and he slapped Lin Lin on the back and made a loud noise.

Lin Lin cried and hid, like a frightened rabbit fleeing in all directions.

"Mr. Lin!"

Ji Xincheng knew that his strength was no match for the other party, so he reminded him stiffly: "This is the Si family's hotel, and today is Si Gan's wedding, if you beat your daughter like this again, I will tell them." If you don't want to lose your job, do it in moderation! ”

Hearing Si Qian's name, the man froze, obviously afraid.

Taking advantage of his distraction, Ji Xincheng pulled Lin Lin to his side and protected her with his body.

"Although the tuition fee of Longcheng Academy of Fine Arts is expensive, it shows that Lin Lin is very qualified, Mr. Lin, no matter how you support her in the past few years, when she officially comes out to work, you can improve your current life, which is definitely better than her going to work now."

"Painting is a rich man's thing, and in the end it's not about packaging yourself and selling it to rich people? It's better to sell it now! ”

Ji Xincheng was shocked by Lin Lin's father's words.

"He has been gambling all year round, and he has lost all our family's savings, and recently I know some people in the society who want to sell me to the club!" Lin Lin said on the side.

What age is it, and there is still a saying of 'selling people'!

While Ji Xincheng was surprised, he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and said to the man: "Is it that Lin Lin will return this tuition fee to you today, and you can let her go?" ”

"She's still back! Returned her to her school! ”

Ji Xincheng saw hope, turned to Lin Lin and said, "How much?" I'll help you give it back to him. ”

Before Lin Lin could speak, her father reported a number.

Ji Xincheng didn't understand the price anymore, and he also knew that the tuition fee for a semester of college was not so expensive.

"Dad, you're crazy, how can I get so much money! At most a tenth ......"

Lin Lin was unhappy for Ji Xincheng, but was interrupted by her father's indifference: "If you don't really want to help, please leave Miss, my daughter, I have the right to educate her!" ”

Ji Xincheng only said that the man deliberately reported such a number to scare her, but he didn't want her to help.

But seeing that Lin Lin was so pitiful, thinking that although the amount was not small, she couldn't afford it, and if she could really help Lin Lin, it would be worth it, so she said: "That's all, I can give it to you." But you have to promise that if you take the money, you will let your daughter go to school well, not only this year, but if she completes college, can you do it? ”

When the man heard this, he looked at Ji Xincheng in disbelief, obviously he didn't expect his lion to open his mouth so easily.

"Sister Xincheng ......"

Lin Lin wanted to say something, but Ji Xincheng stopped her.

Ji Xincheng stared carefully at the man's reaction, wanting to hear his answer.

"I promise! But I also have conditions, today's matter, you can't let the fourth person know, I want the money immediately, I just need cash! ”

As the man said this, he looked around cautiously.

Ji Xincheng's gaze swept left and right with him, no matter what, he was the servant of the Si family, the Si family was a figure with a head and face in Dragon City, and the selection of a servant would never be accepted without inspection, with this guarantee, Ji Xincheng really wanted to help the girl, so he nodded and agreed.

"I'll go to the bank and get it for you?"

"No, I'm going with you, don't go to the bank, there's an ATM nearby."

Ji Xincheng didn't know that the ATM had a limit on the amount of money to be withdrawn, but she knew that the ATM had a camera, and the man was not afraid of the camera, but he was afraid that others would find out, so he felt that he could understand, so he followed them out of the Si's hotel through the back door.

Turning around, Ji Xincheng was alert on the trail.

"Sister Xincheng, I'm sorry! I have affected you, you can rest assured, when I work in the future, I will definitely return it to you with interest! ”

Lin Lin's apology dispelled Ji Xincheng's concerns, but comforted her: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can really help you, this money is nothing." ”

"It's not that I don't dare to call the police, I just think my dad is pitiful, if he wasn't a good gambler, we wouldn't be like this now."

Ji Xincheng patted Lin Lin on the shoulder to comfort her, and the two followed the man's guidance and walked to a more remote place.

"It's a shortcut." Lin Lin said.

Ji Xincheng nodded and put his mind at ease.

Before he could reach the avenue, the man suddenly stopped, only to see him quickly take out a small square towel from his pocket and spray something up, before Ji Xincheng could react, the small square towel sprayed with a lot of liquid rushed up and covered her mouth and nose......

Lin Lin, who was holding her arm, increased his strength at this time, and it obviously became a stumbling block to intercept her way.

The potion was pungent, Ji Xincheng panicked, only took one breath, and felt that the respiratory tract was as uncomfortable as fire, and he couldn't breathe in an instant.

Before losing consciousness, Ji Xincheng still wanted to look at Lin Lin's face, but after all, he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

……

Gu Shaoze, who left the wedding hall, did not go to the bathroom, but sat down in a corner of the uninhabited garden.

Gu Chang's overreaction made him suspicious, he needed a quiet place to think about it.

When Shang Xiaoyue was with her uncle, her grandparents disagreed, and asked her uncle to compensate Shang Xiaoyue financially so that she wouldn't give birth to that child. The young Gu Shaoze once bumped into a scene of an uncle quarreling with a woman in the study, if the uncle really promised his grandparents, then why did he go to find that woman later?

If you really love her, how can you bear to let her beat the child?

If he doesn't love, why can he spend the rest of his life looking for a woman who has no news, and cares so much about what could be that woman's child?

And his father's reaction Gu Chang seemed to not want the uncle to have anything to do with the other party anymore.

Uncle is already at such an age, grandparents are gone, and he is single, if the other party is really the uncle's daughter, why stop him from recognizing it?

A terrible thought suddenly arose in Gu Shaoze's mind, if Uncle had always loved that woman deeply, would it be Gu Chang who quarreled with the woman in the study back then?

But how could his father and the woman know each other?

Is it just as the eldest brother who comes forward to solve the younger brother's marriage for his parents?

Gu Shaoze tried to comfort himself, things were not as complicated as he imagined, but he still couldn't hold back the strong uneasiness in his heart, he knew a little bit about the uncle's personality, the uncle acted uprightly, and spent most of his life in hardship, he didn't look like the kind of person who would force his beloved woman to have an abortion......

Gu Shaoze, who was distraught, after thinking about countless possibilities, finally figured out a few directions with a high probability and asked Chen Feng to find someone to investigate.

confirmed a few important things with Chen Feng, and when he returned to the wedding hall, the banquet was basically over.

The newlyweds accompanied the Si couple to bid farewell to the guests, and Gu Shaoze called Ji Xincheng and kept talking.

After looking around, he drove away from the wedding hotel, habitually driving the car home, but after thinking about it, he took a detour to Tang Tang's house. called Ji Xincheng downstairs at Tang Tang's house, turned off the phone directly at this time, and called Tang Tang.

"She didn't come back, didn't you stay with her?"

“……”

"Gu Shaoze?"

Tang Tang's tone didn't seem like he was joking, Gu Shaoze cleared his throat and said, "No, the hotel staff said that they didn't see her, they should leave, I called her mobile phone all the time, and it was turned off just now." ”

"Wait, I'll call the studio."

"Okay, that's for you."

When Gu Shaoze waited for Tang Tang to reply, he called the hotel again, and the hotel said that the wedding banquet had been cleared and all the guests had left. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, today he was the one who picked up Ji Xincheng to the hotel, even if he had to leave, if he didn't take his car, he would say hello to him.

When he was uneasy, Tang Tang called in and said, "She didn't go to the studio, what's the matter, did you quarrel again?" ”

"Nope. I left for a while, and when I got back to the hall, I didn't see her again. ”

Gu Shaoze's tone was very steady, but the eyebrows had already been twisted, "I'll go back to the hotel and have a look." ”

"I just asked Shang Xuan, Shang Xuan said that Xin Cheng had gone to see her, but she left her room very early, you go over there and take a look, and tell me immediately if there is news!"

Gu Shaoze hung up the phone and went straight to the hotel.

After the hotel confirmed that nothing was found, Gu Shaoze immediately called the police, and the police investigated all the surveillance, but did not find the video of Ji Xincheng leaving the hotel, nor did they find anything abnormal.

But it is impossible for a person to go missing in a hotel for no reason.

The police envisioned many possibilities and conducted a carpet search of the hotel.

Finally, the captain of the criminal police team who was responsible for leading the team invited Gu Shaoze aside and whispered:

"The back door of the Hyatt Hotel leads directly to a villa of Si Qian's family, this villa is not very big, in the city center, the Si family does not seem to live often, but because the surveillance did not capture Ji Xincheng to their villa, the villa does not belong to the open range of today's wedding, it is a private residence, we can't ask them for the monitoring of the villa for a while."

"What do you suggest?"

"Negotiate with him in your own name, try to see if you can get the surveillance in his villa, and we will find other clues."

"The man disappeared in his hotel, and we can't do anything about him?"

"We don't have any evidence to prove that Miss Ji may have been violated, maybe she just has a dead phone, where is it inconvenient to contact you? In less than 24 hours, the case cannot be filed at the moment, and I am only taking the brothers out to do things first, and there are no documents, and it will be inconvenient for the other party to pursue it. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll negotiate over there."

"Don't worry, my side will continue to look for clues, these people can be on standby at any time!"

When Tang Tang rushed to the hotel and learned that there was no evidence and the time was not up to file the case, he told the police what Si Qian had done to the two of her in the past, but she also did not have any strong enough evidence except for subjective speculation, and the police still replied before, they would not let go of any clues, but they could not force Si Qian to hand over the monitoring of the private residence, and they had to wait.
