This is inevitably a bit of a terrifying atmosphere, I don't know if something happened to Xue Ningning's family. Song Miao and Lin Qingrou did not dare to be negligent, according to Song Miao's recollections, Xue Ningning was now alone at home and at school, as well as back and forth between training classes, and it had been a long time since she had seen her mother pick her up on time every day like before.

On a Friday night at the beginning of last month, Xue Ningning's mother called Song Miao to ask Xue Ningning for a long vacation for more than half a month, and since then, Song Miao has not had any contact with Xue Ningning's parents.

Lin Qingrou naturally remembered Xue Ningning's mother, the reporter named Wang Shuang. Wang Shuang left Lin Qingrou with the impression of an authentic media reporter, dressed in a generous and decent professional attire, with fresh and capable short hair, and a pair of black-framed glasses with a keen and cunning gaze behind it. That time, Wang Shuang used the activity to interview Lin Qingrou in the name of interviewing Lin Qingrou, but in fact, she published and reported many contents that were completely different from the truth, which made Lin Qingrou suffer an injustice in the Du family.

This can probably be understood as a journalist's way of survival. However, reporters like Wang Shuang have always been thinking about how to report eye-catching content, and they do everything they can, as for whether the content of these public reports is in line with reality, and whether it will bring trouble to the parties in work and life, this is not within their scope of consideration.

Lin Qingrou felt that the reason why Wang Shuang wanted to do that was nothing more than to focus on her and Du Zeming's controversial marriage relationship, as well as the popularity and influence of the Lin family and the Du family in society. Wang Shuang felt that by excavating Lin Qingrou's situation in the Du family and taking this opportunity to expose the private life of this wealthy and aristocratic family, she could bring her a very considerable degree of attention and vested interests.

Everything is because it is profitable, everything is always out of profit, Lin Qingrou is tired of these things that seem meaningless to her. But for now, she still has to follow Song Miao to Xue Ningning's house to see what is going on, she hopes that everything will be fine.

No. 133 Changyue Road is almost 10 kilometers away from the location of Song Miao's training class. Song Miao drove Lin Qingrou in the car, and the road was smooth, and the two soon arrived at the address of Xue Ningning's house recorded on the student roster.

It's an old neighborhood, full of two-story buildings made of yellow walls and gray tiles, and the walls can be seen everywhere with mottled textures left by the passage of time. Song Miao and Lin Qingrou searched all the way along the trail between the buildings, and there were no pedestrians on the road at this point in time.

"I didn't expect Xue Ningning's family to live in such a place, it looks eerie, and I began to regret coming here a little." Song Miao wrapped her coat tightly to cope with the cold wind that blew from time to time at night.

Probably because they were on the road between the two rows of buildings, the wind was blowing very strongly.

Lin Qingrou took out her mobile phone and tapped it a few times, and handed it to Song Miao casually.

"There don't seem to be any residents in this community." Lin Qingrou pointed to the surrounding buildings and reminded Song Miao.

Song Miao looked at Lin Qingrou's point, it was indeed the case, there were only a few houses here with lights on. When Song Miao got out of the car, she happened to check the time, and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. It's not early, but it's not too early to go to bed.

"This neighborhood must have been replanned, and almost all the houses that should have been moved have been moved, and these houses look at least 4 or 50 years old." Song Miao explained to Lin Qingrou.

The two of them talked about each other, and continued to walk forward for a while, and finally saw the two-story building marked with the number 133. Song Miao stepped on the cement steps in front of the door in a few steps, came to the door and knocked lightly on the door a few times. Lin Qingrou also followed closely behind Song Miao, because the wind outside was blowing, so the two of them invariably quieted down and waited for the response of the owner in the house.

However, they waited for a while, but did not hear any movement in the house. Song Miao then slammed heavily on the door a few times with more force, and both of them were a little worried about whether they were in the wrong place.

This time, Song Miao's knock on the door still didn't get the response it deserved. Lin Qingrou found at this time that the light in a room in the west corner of the upper floor was on. She tugged at Song Miao's arm, so that she could immediately see the room with the lights on.

"That's weird, it's obvious that there are people in the family." Song Miao said a little unhappily.

At this time, the door slowly opened a crack from the inside, which really startled Song Miao and Lin Qingrou. This scene is probably a bit of a clip that often appears in horror movies. Fortunately, Song Miao was a bold and careful girl, and soon found that there was a short figure in the crack of the door, revealing half of a child's face.

"Xue Ningning, this is really your house, open the door for the teacher, it's too cold outside!" Song Miao said anxiously.

Xue Ningning confirmed that one of the two people outside was Teacher Song from the training class, and the other was Teacher Lin, who used to meet often, so she immediately opened the door for the two of them.

"Hello Teacher Song, hello Teacher Lin!" Xue Ningning greeted Song Miao and Lin Qingrou very politely.

Song Miao nodded, and Lin Qingrou also smiled and beckoned to Xue Ningning. Song Miao said this to Xue Ningning while paying attention to whether there were other people in the room.

"Ningning, did you come home alone today?" Song Miao asked.

Xue Ningning nodded and returned: "Well, yes, Teacher Song, I take the No. 11 bus at the entrance of the training class, and I can get to my house by taking 3 stops." ”

Song Miao could almost confirm that there were no other Xue Ningning's family members downstairs at this time, so she asked, "Ning Ning, why didn't your mother send you to the training class recently, is she at home today?" ”

Xue Ningning lowered her head very sadly when she heard Song Miao's question, and didn't speak again for a long time.

Song Miao realized that Xue Ningning's behavior was a little abnormal, and it seemed that something was indeed going on in her family. So, she walked in front of Xue Ningning and slowly squatted down.

"Come, Ningning, you look at the teacher and tell the teacher where your mother is, okay?" Song Miao said very gently as she reached out and stroked Xue Ningning's little face.

Xue Ningning kept her head down, hesitated for a long time, and seemed to be very embarrassed and said, "However, my mother won't let me tell others about her illness. ”

When Song Miao heard this, she and Lin Qingrou glanced at each other.

She then asked, "But Ning Ning, the teacher is no one else, so now tell the teacher where your mother is now?" Is it at home? If your mom is sick, the teacher will help her too, right? ”

Xue Ningning seemed to be moved by Song Miao's words, and after waiting for a while, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Teacher Song, my mother is upstairs in the bedroom."

So, Song Miao and Lin Qingrou quickly let Xue Ningning lead them to the second floor. Walking in the dim corridor, they saw the light in the innermost room of the corridor on, which seemed to be the bedroom Xue Ningning said.

Song Miao took the lead in stepping forward, stood at the door of the bedroom, and then knocked politely.

A woman responded very weakly from inside, and Song Miao couldn't hear whether it was to let her in, but at this time, she didn't care so much, and directly opened all the doors that were originally half-open, and walked straight in. Subsequently, Xue Ningning took Lin Qingrou to follow up in the room.

"Mom, Mom, Teacher Song and Teacher Lin from the training class have come to see you." Xue Ningning walked to a large bed in the middle of the room and said.

Song Miao and Lin Qingrou only saw a woman on the bed wrapped in a quilt and curled with her back to them. This woman seemed to be very weak, but I saw her slowly turn over and look at Song Miao and Lin Qingrou with confused eyes.

Song Miao couldn't help but marvel when she saw that this woman was extremely thin and lifeless. She didn't expect that Xue Ningning's mother, the very shrewd and capable female reporter Wang Shuang, would become the person in front of her.

Lin Qingrou was also very surprised when she saw Wang Shuang's appearance. Looking at Wang Shuang's current situation, she should have a very serious disease, and her face is almost out of shape.

"I didn't expect you to come, please go and sit in the living room outside, I'll be here in a moment." Wang Shuang said weakly to Song Miao and Lin Qingrou.

Xue Ningning led Song Miao and Lin Qingrou to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and she quickly ran downstairs. Song Miao looked around the room, it seemed that he hadn't cleaned it for a long time, and there were some medicine bottles of unknown purpose scattered on the coffee table. Lin Qingrou even felt that the air in the room was emitting an indescribable sour smell.

Song Miao whispered to Lin Qingrou: "It seems that she does have a very serious illness. ”

Lin Qingrou told Song Miao that if they learned the details for a while, if they could help in any way, they would try to help the mother and son. Song Miao has always been a warm-hearted and uneven person, and she agrees with this very much.

After a long time, there was a very heavy footstep sound from the bedroom, like the sound of slippers dragging on the floor without leaving the floor. After that, Wang Shuang slowly appeared from the bedroom door and walked towards the living room.

Seeing this, Lin Qingrou quickly stood up, walked to Wang Shuang's side, and supported her until she sat down in front of the sofa in the living room.

Wang Shuang bowed slightly to Lin Qingrou and expressed her gratitude. At this time, she was wrapped in a thick plush blanket, and the light hit her face, showing her heavy dark circles and bloodless face in front of Song Miao and Lin Qingrou without reservation.
