Beifu Elementary School, students have been on vacation.

Ning Yuangui took care of school affairs and did not go back to the city, sitting in the dormitory to bake the heater. He's waiting—

Since the early morning of the nineteenth day of the lunar month, I called my old classmate Zhang Zhengyi to "ask for help" and asked him to help find the boss, and today is the 7th day.

Every day in the past, he was tormented and fully experienced the taste of living like a year!

As soon as he had free time, he looked at the school gate and watched every passing car, especially the gray van, expecting one to drive into the campus.

Several times, when a car drove in, he ran out to meet it:

It was a stranger who got out of the car and asked where the toilet was...

He keeps his mobile phone in his hand during the day and by his pillow at night, ready to answer the phone at any time—

To be honest, he both wished the bell would ring and had a hint of inexplicable concern.

The number "13905**4466" was the one he most desperately wanted to receive, but it was not displayed once. Every now and then, a strange call came in, and he pressed his heartbeat and answered it immediately - every time he heard it was not the voice of the "boss".

In the first few days of the police, the subordinates of the old classmates often called—asking him to do this and that. He tried his best to cooperate and implement them one by one!

He regarded the public security organs as the last straw, hoping to get the right letter of the boss's whereabouts? But the police also seem helpless? I haven't been in touch with him for the past two days...

This morning, my mother asked someone to bring a letter: my father had an old disease, a herniated lumbar disc, and he was bedridden, so he asked him to take time to go back and have a look.

He was anxious—

His father's knife and his eldest brother's driving skills supported a large family and ensured that he and his younger siblings could complete their studies, get married, and start a family. The two of them are the heroes of the Ning family!

Now that my father is sick and my boss is missing, this... How can this be?

Ning Lao'er frowned, thought about it repeatedly, and decided to call his two younger sisters:

Let the two of them rush to the school as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures; Let's go back to Miaoling to visit my old father!

He dialed his eldest sister Ning Yuanmei's mobile phone twice, but "no one answered"? I had to change to beat my little sister, and I got a response immediately-

Ning Yuanli has been on vacation and has nothing to do at home. She said that she would immediately drive to the Chinese medicine hospital to find her eldest sister. The two sisters went shopping last night, and Yuanmei said that they were on the day shift today; It is estimated that it is on ward rounds - it is inconvenient to answer the phone.

Ning Yuangui hung up the phone, felt a little comforted, walked out of the door, and looked at the school gate?

There were three people from afar, one big, two small, and he recognized them as sister-in-law, Xiaoqiang, and Xiaowei.

The big girl ran in front of him, and the little one stumbled after him!

Zeng Ming'e hooked her head and walked quickly, shouting as she walked:

"Little Qiang, Little Qiang - don't run, take your sister by the hand. Xiaowei - slow down, beware of falling! ”

Ning Lao Er squatted down, spread his arms, and stared at his two nieces distressedly?

Little Qiang threw herself into the crook of his arm and shouted:

"Headmaster, uncle! What about my dad? Mom said - maybe waiting for us at school? ”

"Dad-Dad's 'something', I drove to another place..."Ning Yuangui's heart trembled, and he casually made up a reason:

He didn't mean to deceive the child, and there was really no more appropriate way to say it.

"Daddy, Daddy... Uncle—" Vicky shouted—and came closer!

Ning Lao Er grabbed the childish little niece, slowly stood up and said:

"Little Qiang, take your sister to the 'roast fire', beware - it's hot."

Two children broke into the house. He turned to face his sister-in-law-

"Her uncle, your eldest brother - have news?" Zeng Ming'e's eyes lit up and asked in a low voice.

Ning Yuangui looked at the black-faced, haggard woman, and didn't know how to comfort her? Just shook his head mechanically.

"Then you just now..." Ming'e's eyes darkened - she wanted to complain twice, but paused:

This warm-hearted, capable little uncle has not been seen for a few days—his eyes are sunken, his face is ugly, and his lips are blistered. I don't know if I'm busy with work, or I'm in a hurry to "boss" - on fire?

Ning Lao Er motioned to his sister-in-law - walked away a few steps, away from the dormitory door, and then said heavily:

"Sister-in-law, there is no news of my eldest brother yet... However, I have already asked my old classmate for help - he is the head of the public security bureau, there must be a way! Don't get too anxious. ”

Zeng Ming'e nodded, sighed and said:

"I know, they're asking questions... Uncle, I've been thinking about your big brother for the past two days—

I remember one time, when he had drunk too much wine in the evening, and he was standing at the door—calling a woman, and I was washing the dishes, and I vaguely heard that he was asking for an account, and it was not small—there were 'tens of thousands'..."

"Which woman is it? Do you know the 'name'? When the man heard this, he came to the spirit:

All he has heard is that others are asking for debts from his eldest brother, and now there is a woman who "owes debts"! In any case, this is a new clue!

"Oh—I don't know... Your eldest brother's temper, you are not - I don't know, how dare I ask him? Zeng Ming'e lamented:

She felt bitterness welling up in her throat and almost cried.

"Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! Think about it again: what else do you hear? Ning Yuangui gently persuaded and asked:

He knew very well in his heart that even if his old classmates were willing to help, there would be no clues - it would be "for nothing"! The sister-in-law is the closest person to the boss, and everyone she provides may be helpful in finding out the eldest brother, not to mention a woman with a large debt?

After several contacts with the detectives, combined with the boss's usual bad habits, he guessed—

The eldest brother's "disappearance" for a long time this time is very likely to be related to gambling and messing with the relationship between men and women!

But he couldn't discuss it with his sister-in-law openly. This virtuous woman is already very difficult, and he must no longer rub salt in his wounds...

"He seems to be shouting, shouting 'Lan Lan'... I—I can't remember... I, I was - I didn't hear clearly... Alas, "The woman's face twisted, her body shook, and she almost fell?"

Ning Lao Er stretched out his hand to help his sister-in-law, but when he saw this, he retracted and thought:

"Lan Lan? Lan - Lan ...... Could it be 'Liu Guanglan'? ”

At this time, Zeng Ming'e squatted down, curled up, covered her face with both hands, and stopped speaking.

The man estimates that the woman is crying, but he doesn't know where to persuade him? The only thing he could do was to squat out of the woman's half-arm, in case the woman fainted and overturned...

The sound of the car horn "beep-beep-" attracts the attention of the two adults, and the little Qiang sisters also run out of the house?

A red Paul sedan drove into the school gate and pulled to a stop near the dormitory.

"Little Auntie—" Little Qiang shouted excitedly, running to the car door—

Ning Yuanmei got down from the passenger cab, carrying a large food bag in her hand, and shouted to the running little girl:

"Little Qiang, don't run—beware of falling—"

Ning Yuanli, who was driving down, turned around and opened the rear door, took out a fruit basket, kicked on high-waisted leather boots, and hurriedly greeted her eldest niece-

The scene immediately became lively:

The greetings between adults and the cheerful surprises of the two little girls rang out!

"Cough-cough" Ning Yuangui coughed dryly, put on a brother's posture, and instructed Xiaoli to give the child "food pie"; Beckoning to sister-in-law and Xiaomei—follow him into the bedroom.

After closing the door, the smiles on the faces of the three adults in the room immediately disappeared.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, I checked the room in the morning and didn't bring my mobile phone. Xiaoli found me, I finally found a little sister on the top shift, and I only arrived now, so I made you anxious. Ning Yuanmei explained softly:

Although she was worried about her father and eldest brother, after all, she was a nursing professional, and she still kept her emotions calm!

"Your eldest brother, he... He still hasn't heard from him-" Zeng Ming'e finally lost control, fell on her sister-in-law's shoulder, and sobbed.

"Sister-in-law-" Ning Yuanmei's eyes were red, and she stroked her sister-in-law's back and said:

"The second brother is trying to find a way, and we are also inquiring? Now the top priority is: how to hide from your parents and fathers? Also-Dad's 'old problem' is committed, I'm afraid he will have to be hospitalized as soon as possible? ”
