Chapter 20: Disappearance
Shu Yuan ran outside the villa area to stop a taxi, Qingyi Mansion can't go back, she doesn't want to contact anyone in the Shu family for the time being. "Master, please send me to Yanyu Road." This was the place she had planned to take Gu Yi'an to today.
It's December, and even at noon, the cold wind still makes people's cheeks ache. Shu Yuan has always been afraid of the cold, so she deliberately wore a cashmere jacket to go out today, even so she was still shivering with cold at this time, and she couldn't say whether it was cold weather or cold.
Because of the weekend, the Yanyu Road at this time was full of people, but Shu Yuan felt that she was out of place here, and she deliberately avoided the main road of Yanyu Road and turned into a small alley. Different from the bustle of Yanyu Road, Bluestone Lane is empty, only many stray cats nest here. Only when she gets along with animals can she temporarily forget the disturbances of the world, and Shu Yuan has no idea that there is a lot of trouble outside because of her disappearance.
Xu Yongheng went to Qingyi Mansion for the first time and met An Yize at the door of the apartment, but the two of them didn't even care about greeting at this time, An Yize said: "Xiao Xu, Shu Yuan didn't go home!" If you think about what other places she usually visits, I'll go to Wanqing's cemetery first, and maybe I'll go to see her mother. We contacted by phone. Xu Yongheng tacitly followed An Yize's pace and entered the elevator: "Okay, I'll ask Li Nian and Sinan again, Shu Yuan may not be able to go to them." Uncle, don't be in too much of a hurry. β
An Yize raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Yongheng carefully, and pleaded with Xu Yongheng and said, "Xiao Xu, uncle has helped you!" Be sure to find your wish! β
Xu Yongheng held An Yize's slightly trembling hand and responded seriously.
"Sister-in-law Mo, is there any news of wishing?" Shu Dingbang asked nervously. Aunt Mo was also worried and restless at this time, and kept staying by the phone: "I haven't seen the phone call between my uncle and Young Master Xu, don't worry, master, Miss Young is just making trouble, and she will be back soon." Shu Dingbang waved his hand, turned around and paced back to the study, half-lowered his eyes and whispered: "It's my fault, it's my fault." β
"Li Nian, did Shu Yuan go to you?" Xu Yongheng hurriedly dialed Li Nian's phone. And Li Nian was confused: "Why did you ask me the same question before and after my grandfather?" She didn't come to me, she didn't even have information. Is something happening to Shu Yuan? β
Xu Yongheng thought for three seconds, but still chose to tell Li Nian that it was a good thing that multiple people helped to find her: "Shu Yuan seems to have a little conflict with her family, and we haven't been able to find her since she ran out of Yu Garden." β
"You go to the Γle de la CitΓ© now to see if Shu Yuan is there! I'll be there right away. Li Nian was not ambiguous when he heard that Shu Yuan had an accident. By the way, you can call and ask Shinan again. When he hung up the phone, Li Nian did not forget to instruct.
When Xu Yongheng pressed Sinan's number, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, compared to Sinan, Shu Yuan was more likely to contact him, even if he selfishly didn't want him to find Shu Yuan earlier than himself, but this was not the time for him to be jealous.
Gu Yi'an didn't know why today, his eyelids jumped violently when he came together in the morning. I slept pretty well last night, why do my eyelids keep jumping? GU YI'AN WAS PUZZLED, AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BAR TO BREW A CUP OF TASOGARE HANGING EAR COFFEE.
The mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrate, Gu Yi'an took it out and saw that a string of numbers was not marked, and he took a sip of coffee before pressing the answer button: "Hey?" Hello, which one? β
"It's me, Xu Yongheng. Did Shu Yuan look for you just now? Xu Yongheng asked straight to the point.
Gu Yi shuddered in peace and put down the coffee cup: "No, what's wrong with her?" β
Even Gu Yi'an didn't look for it, Shu Yuan was hiding, Xu Yongheng said irritably: "She seems to have had a bit of a conflict with her family, she ran out of Yu Garden at eleven o'clock this morning, and there is no news of her yet." You have a lot of connections, so I have to trouble you to help find it. We contacted by phone. β
"Well, stay in touch." Gu Yi'an hung up the phone, his face was solemn, and his eyelids jumped early in the morning. Gu Yi'an pressed his forehead, where to start? He had no idea what Shu Yuan liked to visit in Sioux City. This realization frustrated him.
"Hey, I said Xiao Gu Dong, do you know what day of the week it is?! It's only twelve o'clock now, and it's very inhumane for you to wake me up, you ......" Qiao Songting was woken up by Gu Yi'an's phone call, and he was furious. But Gu Yi'an's words frightened him in place, he said: "Shu Yuan is gone, and he disappeared after running out of Yu Garden at eleven o'clock." Qiao Songting touched his face, calmed down and said, "I will now hack into the monitoring system near Yu Garden, and I will tell you the results in two minutes." β
Two minutes later, Gu Yi'an put on his coat and picked up the car keys and went out, and as soon as he started the car, Qiao Songting's phone called: "The surveillance shows that Shu Yuan got into a taxi with a license plate number of Su AE33X6 and went south." The road monitoring system can't enter for the time being, you think about it in the direction of the south, and I'll tell you if there is progress here. β
"Thank you." Gu Yi'an cut off the phone and dialed Xu Yongheng's phone: "Xu Yongheng, remember, the license plate number of the taxi Shu Yuan took when he left Yu Garden was Su AE33X6, I remember Shu Yuan told me that your father is a government official, and you may be faster than me to check." Waiting for your news. β
Mu Yan cemetery, this is the first time An Yize came here after Shu Wanqing's funeral, but he didn't find Shu Yuan's figure, he sat in front of Shu Wanqing's tombstone in frustration.
The photo on the tombstone is a photo taken by Shu Wanqing three years ago, An Yize gently stroked the photo, and said dejectedly: "In the past two years, because of your sudden death and your father-in-law's secret, I have not known how to face it, I have chosen to escape but also ignored Yuan'er, I came back this time to take Yuan'er abroad to start a new life, but I didn't expect that the chat with my father would be overheard by Yuan'er, Wanqing, where do you say Yuan'er will be now?" She...... It's just getting better, it's all my fault! When he said the back, his voice was already trembling and slightly crying.
"Li Nian, you and Sinan will go to the Syti Island Cafe first to see if Shu Yuan is there. I just learned the license plate number of the taxi that Shu Yuan just took, and I'm going to check it now. Xu Yongheng confessed to Li Niandao.
Li Nian paused for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Okay, okay, you hurry up and ask Uncle Xu to help, quick!" β
Xu Yongheng lay on the steering wheel with one hand, and held his forehead with the other hand, feeling exhausted, and asked Xu Yunqi to talk about how easy it is, unless he ...... The top priority now is to find Shu Yuan as soon as possible.
"What? Call to see if I'm by you, right? Xu Yunqi has not subsided, and his tone is really not good.
"Dad, I want to ask you for a favor, I promised to meet that Miss Liu." Xu Yongheng snorted.
Xu Yunqi was stunned for a moment before answering: "What's the matter?" β
Xu Yongheng didn't hesitate: "Help me check a license plate number Su AE33X6, and send me the driver's contact information, it's about human life, be fast." β
"I know, is it the girl from the Shu family?" "Hmm!"
Xu Yunqi was not surprised at all, and only replied: "Wait for me for a few minutes, and I will send the message directly to your mobile phone later." I hope you don't forget what you just promised me. β
Five minutes later, Xu Yunqi not only sent the contact information of the taxi master to Xu Yongheng, but also sent the route with the taxi.
However, Yanyu Road is the largest pedestrian street in Sioux City, in which the alleys are crisscrossed and the area is very large. Xu Yongheng hurriedly told Gu Yi'an the information, asked him to go over first, and then he went to Xiti Island to pick up Li Nian and Sinan first, and did not forget to tell An Yize the information before leaving. This is Xu Yongheng, no matter what happens, he can cover everything, only love.
Gu Yi'an stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Yanyu Road, but his heart fell into an unprecedented panic.
And Li Nianyi learned that Shu Yuan might have gone to Yanyu Road, and his face was incredulous: "Why did Yuan'er suddenly go to Yanyu Pavilion?" Why did Uncle An just come back and the two fathers and daughters fell out? Yuan'er wasn't the kind of person who hid regardless of his responsibilities when something happened......" Sinan saw Xu Yongheng's face like ashes, and quickly pulled Li Nian's sleeve: "Sister Nian'er, let's wait until we find Sister Shu Yuan, okay?" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Nian, and Li Nian noticed Xu Yongheng's face and made a smart choice to shut up.
Gu Yi'an arrived at Yanyu Road first, but there were too many people here, Shu Yuan was not a person who liked to be lively, thinking of this, Gu Yi'an decided to go to the alley.
Because Gu Yi'an had never been here before, and every alley felt quite similar, but he didn't notice it at all. Just when Gu Yi'an thought he was lost, he heard a few clear cat meows. "Meow...... Meow ......" Gu Yi'an followed the sound of the cat's meow and walked through the alley, where he found Shu Yuan next to a stream.
Shu Yuan was squatting by the stream, stroking the kitten without saying a word, but when Gu Yi'an saw her like this, he just wanted to reach out and smooth her deep brows and hold her tightly in his arms.
He walked lightly to Shu Yuan's side and squatted down. Shu Yuan inadvertently smelled the smell that made her feel at ease, and when she looked back, she found that Gu Yi'an had been squatting beside her for some time. Shu Yuan smiled and turned his head, as if to the air and as if to explain to him: "I overheard the conversation between my father and my grandfather today, my father said that my mother was forced to death by my grandfather, you say it's not funny, how is this possible?" β
Gu Yi'an hugged Shu Yuan's shoulder and whispered, "Well, it must be that you didn't rest well last night, and you heard it wrong." Shall I send you home to rest? We'll talk about it when you get a good night's sleep. β
Shu Yuan didn't answer, and looked at the cat as if she hadn't heard it, but after ten seconds, she seemed to have made up her mind, turned her head to Gu Yi'an, and said, "Yi'an, can you take me in?" I don't want to stay in Sioux City, and I don't want to go to Liaocheng alone. β
This pitiful appearance made Gu Yi'an couldn't bear to refuse, and hugged her fiercely: "Okay, let's go back to the imperial capital." β
Xu Yongheng and Li Nian found this after a long search, but they never expected to see this scene. Xu Yongheng seemed to see that he and Shu Yuan were drifting apart, "I'll call Grandpa Shu and Uncle An and tell him that he has found Shu Yuan." Xu Yongheng left these words and turned to leave, leaving Li Nian and Si Nan looking at each other.
