Wu Qian took a deep breath, let go of her hand, broke free of Xiang Chen Liuling stood up, and the other three people all looked at her in unison.

"I'm fine, Miss Xiang. I just didn't expect that my, my dad would ......" Wu Qian choked up as she spoke, her eyes were misty, and the tense air became dull and sad again because of Wu Qian's performance.

Xiao Tong scratched his chin, took the palm-sized rectangular box, and looked at Wu Qian, who was in tears, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Ahem, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn. I'm sorry, but I know you're sad right now, but I have to ask you a few questions and ask you to answer them truthfully. Xiao Tong was apologetic, and his expression became softened.

Blank helped Xiang Chen Liuling up and said, "I think let's go to the living room and sit down and talk." He said this as if he was asking for Xiang Chen Liuling's opinion, and the latter looked at Wu Qian and Xiao Tong.

"I don't care." Xiao Tong rubbed the rough stubble on his chin and said, Wu Qian also rubbed her eyes and nodded.

※

In the living room, Xiao Tong sat alone on a sofa, and opposite sat Wu Qian, who wiped her tears from time to time.

On the other side of the sofa was Xiang Chen Liuling, dressed in a wide ankle-length group, with her hands on her legs, her chin resting on her knees, and her bare toes exposed under the hem of her skirt.

Although Blanc didn't like to see Xiao Tong very much, he still did his duty dutifully at this time, and served a cup of tea to everyone present. Xiao Tong and Wu Qian's tea sets are the same as tea, while Xiang Chen Liuling's are obviously different.

"Wu Qian, when was the last time you saw your father?" Xiao Tong didn't care about this kind of differential treatment at all, and took out his notebook and began to make records.

"For the last time...... Yes, it was six days ago. Wu Qian replied with a sob.

"Six days ago? You don't know where your father has gone for the past six days? Didn't contact him either? He hasn't contacted you either? Xiao Tong's tone was marked with obvious doubts.

"I ...... I guess he went gambling or running away from debt. My father was a gambler, but his gambling luck was not very good. He often doesn't come back for a few days, and if I contact him in the middle of the way, and he loses money, he'll blame me. He would think that I had touched his bad head, and that he would inevitably teach me a hard lesson when he went home, so I didn't dare to contact him at all. ”

What!? And this kind of thing!? It turned out that I had seen this kind of thing in the news, and although I was puzzled and angry, I just read it as a story.

But when the incident really happened to the people around him, the shocking effect was completely different, and the look of anxiety and worry filled Xiang Chen Liuling's face. At the same time, a lot of doubts also rose in her heart.

Xiao Tong quickly made a record in the notebook, then looked up at Wu Qian and asked:

"So, where did your mother go? We tried to contact her, but we couldn't. I thought, maybe you know, right? ”

She ...... Two days after her father left, she said she was going back to her hometown. Wu Qian said with tears in her eyes.

With a "bang", Xiang Chen Liuling couldn't hold his breath anymore, put the teacup on the coffee table heavily, jumped up from the chair and said:

"It's so unbelievable! Where are such parents!? Leave your children behind, and run away without a trace! Damn! ”

Everyone was startled by her sudden move, and they all looked at her in a daze.

Xiang Chen Liuling felt that he was a little out of shape at this time, and smiled wryly: "That, I'm sorry, I'm ...... Hehe, you guys go on, keep ......" was about to sit back in her chair when she jumped up again: "No! ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tong looked a little impatient.

"Since you haven't contacted Wu Qian's parents, Wu Qian hasn't been back since she came to us three days to apply for the job, and you haven't contacted her parents during that time, how do you know that she is at my house?"

Xiao Tong was a little stunned, and was about to say something, when Blank leaned over to Xiang Chen Liuling and whispered:

"Miss, it was I who reported Wu Qian's work here to the human resources department."

"Why do you want to report?"

"This is the rule of the Canglan Empire, as long as anyone hires someone, they need to report it for the record. Some people may not do this, but the Xiang family cannot but lead by example and abide by the laws and regulations of various countries. Saying this, Blank glanced at Xiao Tong provocatively, as if he was proving his innocence for Xiao Tong's previous allusion to the Xiang family's tricks.

Xiao Tong rubbed the stubble on his chin with a smile, pretending not to hear Blank's words, and said with a dry cough:

"That's right, thanks to Mr. Blank's rule-keeping, we found this in the system."

Xiang Chen Liuling was relieved at this time, but he glared at Blank fiercely, and secretly felt that he was really too straightforward in his heart.

After sitting down silently, Blank flattered Xiang Chen Liuling with tea and handed the teacup to her. During this period of time together, Blank has almost figured out Xiang Chen Liuling's temper, this guy is a master who eats soft rather than hard most of the time. And sometimes I don't talk and do things without going my head, and I am very childish.

Sure enough, Xiang Chen Liuling hugged the teacup handed over by Blank, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

"Uh, you go on." Xiang Chen Liuling curled up on the sofa again, holding a teacup to warm his hands.

"Ahem, then, Wu Qian, where is your mother's hometown? Is there any contact information? ”

Wu Qian thought for a while, took Xiao Tong's notebook, and left the address and contact information on it.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation, so that's it for today. It's my business card, so if you think of something special, you can contact me right away, no matter how small. ”

Xiao Tong stood up as he spoke, bowed slightly to Xiang Chen Liuling, and said goodbye and left.

After walking out of the courtyard, Xiao Tong suddenly stopped, turned to look at the two-story small western-style building thoughtfully, and muttered in his heart: Xiang Chen Liuling, hey, the Xiang family has such an innocent guy, it's really interesting. Hopefully, she won't be killed too soon, or be harmed by that big dye vat.

Hey, why am I worried about the people of the Xiang family!? Is! Xiao Tong scratched his messy hair and strode out of the yard.

In the living room, Wu Qian was still sobbing, and Xiang Chen Liuling moved to her side and patted her on the back gently.

"Well, do you want to go home and have a look? If you're scared, Blanc and I will accompany you back. ”

"No, no need, Miss Xiang, thank you. It's getting late, I, I'm going to get ready for dinner. Wu Qian was about to stand up as she spoke, but was pulled by Xiang Chen Liuling.

"You sit. Look at your trance-like appearance, you don't have to worry about family affairs these days, take a good rest. If you need us to help you, just ask. ”

"Thank you, Miss Xiang, then, I'll go back to the room first."

"Well, go ahead. I'll call you when dinner is ready. ”

Xiang Chen Liuling let go of Wu Qian and stood up as well.

Wu Qian bowed and walked back to her room in despair. Looking at her thin back, Xiang Chen Liuling sighed lightly in a complicated mood.

"Blank, let's go make dinner."

"Miss, you're tired too, go back to your room and rest, I'll be ready for dinner alone."

Xiang Chen Liuling looked at Blank, nodded, and walked upstairs slowly.

Blank watched her leave until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs, then turned around and began to clean up the tea set on the table.

Back in the room, the smell of Qin Shenxiang was still wafting in the room, but Xiang Chen Liuling was in no mood to taste it, and her mind kept flashing back to the first time she saw Wu Qian.

Suddenly, she remembered a very important question: How did Wu Qian's father die!?
