Chapter 39: Life and death are uncertain
Luo Xicheng has not been able to receive a letter from Qi Ming for more than ten days, he feels a little uncomfortable, these days, he has a good understanding of the accounts and personnel of southern Xinjiang, and Ding Ning has been excerpted separately if there are problems, just waiting for Qi Ming and Meng Li to come back. However, Meng Li and Qi Ming did not write for a long time. If Luo Xicheng didn't expect it, Qi Ming and Meng Li should be on the way back, but according to Qi Ming's style of doing things, he should have sent a letter before coming back, but he didn't.
Ding Ning saw that Luo Xicheng was worried and anxious, and couldn't help but comfort him, but Luo Xicheng was like what Guan Lu Mo said, he was the kind of person who would be immersed in his own thoughts and thoughts, and not everyone could easily extract him from his thoughts.
In Ding Ning's heart, Luo Xicheng was worried about the safety of Meng Li and Qi Ming, but Ding Ning didn't know that Luo Xicheng was worried about these things he had to worry about at the moment, and he also had to analyze the situation in southern Xinjiang from Qi Ming's only letter. The loss of business is small, and now it is rumored that there is an imminent rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and he has a large amount of money in various shops in southern Xinjiang that is missing, and there are also secret agents of the imperial court in southern Xinjiang in these shops, if this information is used by someone with a heart, he Luo Xicheng and his family will face a catastrophe. Luo Xicheng was thinking about how to solve the problem.
At noon, in the study, Ding Ning looked at Luo Xicheng, who was leaning back on the chair and frowning and thinking deeply, and stepped forward and said gently:
"Xicheng, are you still worried about Qi Ming and Meng Li? We must no longer send people to secretly search for them along the way to southern Xinjiang. The name is not a person who has no explanation, even if Qi Ming can't write a letter, Meng Li can also write a letter, but now there is no letter from either of them, either both of them have an accident on the road, or both of them are safe, it's just that it's inconvenient to write a letter. ”
Luo Xicheng heard Ding Ning say that Qi Ming and Meng Li would have something, and he couldn't help but stare at Ding Ning fiercely. Ding Ning saw Luo Xicheng's eyes and knew that Luo Xicheng was angry, so she added:
"Don't be angry, I just said I could think of it, and I'm sure you thought of it too, didn't you? Besides, based on my analysis, I think the two of them are fine now, but it's just inconvenient to send a message back. ”
Luo Xicheng continued to look at Ding Ning, but now his eyes were no longer sharp, but a little more confused. Ding Ning watched Luo Xicheng's mood gradually calm down, and then analyzed him:
"If you are concerned, I believe that what I am going to say next, you can also figure it out if you think about it carefully. Qi Ming and Meng Li are so loyal to you, if they have an accident, they will definitely find ways to send a message back, besides, if the person who wants to deal with you has already dealt with your subordinates at this time, then do you think he will always watch you in a hurry? He won't take advantage of the victory to chase you down in one fell swoop? ”
Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning with straight eyes, he never thought that this girl could analyze the pros and cons in front of him so calmly. He didn't have to think about it now to know that Aunt Wei and Aunt Qiao had heard some rumors from his second and third uncles, and now they were anxiously thinking about how to get out of the relationship with Luo Fu.
The more Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning carefully, the more uncomfortable Ding Ning felt, because she couldn't see what Luo Xicheng wanted to do from Luo Xicheng's eyes. Luo Xicheng didn't say a word now, so she didn't know how to deal with herself, so Ding Ning simply chose a chair closest to Luo Xicheng's desk and sat down, and looked at Luo Xicheng like Luo Xicheng looked at her.
Luo Xicheng came back to his senses and found that Ding Ning was learning from him naughtily, he walked to Ding Ning with a smile and took Ding Ning and said:
"Ning'er, is she naughty again? When he found that I didn't speak, he learned me here. ”
Ding Ning got up and looked at Luo Xicheng, carefully lowered his voice and said:
"Don't call me so quietly, let others listen to it and be suspicious, I don't want to cause you trouble."
"I'm not afraid, I'm going to call you Ning'er." Luo Xicheng leaked a stubborn child's look.
Since Ding Ning and Luo Xicheng established a lover relationship, Luo Xicheng always showed a childlike appearance in front of him, and Ding Ning even sometimes suspected that Luo Xicheng had pretended to be deep and shrewd for the Luo family's business dealings outside.
"You've worked so hard to keep me alive with a new identity, but now you're exposing my true identity? You're not afraid of people talking about me? Ding Ning was slightly menacingly amused.
Luo Xicheng became serious when he heard this, he naturally would not let Ding Ning fall into trouble again, so he pondered for a moment and said:
"Then I'll call you Madame from now on."
"Madame's analysis just now made me suddenly enlightened, it was my concern that was messy, Qi Ming is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, even if he encounters danger, I estimate that he will try his best to let Meng Li escape and deliver the letter. Even if neither of them managed to escape, I should be able to see my opponent make a move these days. I haven't seen either of these things now, so they may be in trouble and can't contact me. Luo Xicheng seriously agreed with Ding Ning's opinion.
"If only you could figure it out. The more this time, the more we should not panic, I don't know about your business, but I think you can infer their situation in southern Xinjiang as long as you pay attention to whether there have been some changes in your business recently. So, do you want to check the business accounts of other shops now? Ding Ning asked.
Luo Xicheng thought for a while and said:
"I've already seen the accounts in the morning, and now how about my wife accompany me to the various shops and shops in the city?"
Ding Ning smiled and took Luo Xicheng's hand and said:
"Let's go!"
Luo Xicheng gently patted Ding Ning's hand on his arm and walked to the study with Ding Ning. Luo Xicheng led Ding Ning into the carriage, and the carriage traveled all the way to a shop closest to Luo's mansion, and then stopped in the alley next to the shop to wait for Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning.
This is a silk village, Ding Ning didn't let Luo Xicheng go in with her, after all, when he saw his boss, all the shopkeepers would take out beautiful account books for the boss to see. Ding Ning walked into the silk village by himself and asked Luo Xicheng to wait outside the house. As soon as Ding Ning entered the silk village, the shopkeeper of the silk village was amazed by Ding Ning, if it weren't for the angry Cuilan and Huanxi on the side, it is estimated that the shopkeeper would have rushed over to take Ding Ning's hand.
When the shopkeeper saw such a Peugeot person coming to the store, he happily ran forward and approached Hu and said:
"What kind of fabric is this lady going to buy, if you are not sure what you want to do, I can introduce you to it."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper began to enthusiastically introduce Ding Ning to the various exquisite fabrics in the store, which ones are best-sellers, which are classics, and which ones are new. Ding Ning looked at the shopkeeper's diligence and took the opportunity to inquire about the recent silk and satin fabric business from the shopkeeper, and after listening to the shopkeeper's nagging, Ding Ning walked out of the silk village.
Luo Xicheng waited outside the silk village for a long time, and he was so anxious that he was about to rush in to find it, and when he saw Ding Ning coming out, he said directly:
"I'm going to go in with you next, I'm waiting outside, what's going on, I'm the boss, why am I still hiding."
"You're afraid that I won't be able to deal with it alone." Ding Ning said while pulling Luo Xicheng away.
Ding Ning is a beautiful appearance, Luo Xicheng is handsome and tough, and the two of them are walking on the street, which is simply a beautiful landscape. Most of the people on the road have seen Luo Xicheng and know that this is the most powerful character in the south, but they only know that Luo Xicheng married a girl from the Baili family, but they don't know that the girl from the Baili family is so beautiful and dignified.
Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning inspected the shops along the street, and from the detailed introduction of the shopkeepers and their sophisticated inquiries, Luo Xicheng could be sure that the Luo family's business was not affected by the outside world. After Luo Xicheng explained that the shopkeepers should report their business conditions every day, Luo Xicheng took Ding Ning to the teahouse to rest. While Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning were resting in the teahouse, they summoned several powerful shopkeepers and asked them to go to various places along the way to check the accounts, and they must complete the task within 15 days.
When Ding Ning and Luo Xicheng were resting, they saw Lin Zihao again, who they hadn't seen for a long time. Lin Zihao took the initiative to step forward, and Luo Xicheng was full of displeasure when he saw Lin Zihao.
Lin Zihao approached:
"Lin and the two are really fateful, and they can meet every time they go out. Can I sit down if I don't mind? ”
"Introduce ......" Before Luo Xicheng could speak, Ding Ning took the lead and agreed to let Lin Zihao share the table with them.
As soon as Lin Zihao sat down, he smiled at Ding Ning and said:
"I haven't seen Mrs. Luo for a long time, and Mrs. Luo's complexion has been much worse recently, but what's the trouble?"
Luo Xicheng saw Lin Zihao so blatantly caring about his wife in front of him, Luo Xicheng's face was dark. Ding Ning caught a glimpse of Luo Xicheng's face and felt funny and funny, Luo Xicheng, who has always been moody, would have such obvious emotions.
"Maybe I've been busy making clothes for my husband recently, and I haven't rested, okay, now that most of the clothes are ready, I won't be tired every day." Ding Ning glanced at Luo Xicheng beside him and explained to Lin Zihao.
When Luo Xicheng heard Ding Ning's explanation, he didn't know why he wasn't so angry, but felt that Ding Ning mentioned in front of Lin Zihao that it was a very happy thing to make clothes for himself. Luo Xicheng's originally dark face receded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing an imperceptible arc, Ding Ning glanced at it, and saw this arc at the corner of Luo Xicheng's mouth, and couldn't help but be happy.
Ding Ning and Luo Xicheng only saw a subtle interaction, and in Lin Zihao's eyes, Lin Zihao felt an inexplicable sense of jealousy. He knew that the person in front of him was Ding Ning, although he couldn't come up with any evidence now, but he secretly made up his mind that if he got the evidence one day, he would definitely take Ding Ning back, no matter what Luo Xicheng did to cause today's situation, he would work hard to correct it. He wanted Ding Ning to return to Mrs. Lin's position.
The three of them didn't sit for a while, and Luo Xicheng took Ding Ning to leave and go home.
In the ten days after they went out to check the accounts, the accounts of various places did not change, but they still did not receive any news from Qi Ming and Meng Li, and the two of them seemed to have disappeared. Luo Xicheng also personally wrote to the government office on the southern border of Xinjiang to inquire, but the reply he received was only that they had passed by when they were on their way to southern Xinjiang, but they had not heard that they had returned home.
The life and death of Meng Li and Qi Ming were uncertain, and the person who Luo Xicheng suspected of being in the shadows did not make a move on him for a long time, and Luo Xicheng suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
