Chapter 44: Blood Jade
After Chen Yibo left, Nia also immediately dressed up and drove back to her house.
Although what Chen Yibo said made sense, his parents knew it. Although my father is romantic, he occasionally doesn't go home at night, but he still greets his mother in advance every time. And my mother, I always feel that I am four years older than my father, and I am at a loss to him, so I keep a blind eye to his romantic **** outside, as long as it is not too much, let him go. Simply my dad knows how to measure, tastes something fresh every three or five times, and then will honestly accompany his wife at home for a while.
But this time is different, my mother said that yesterday afternoon her father Jiang Zhengwei called to say that he would go home for dinner in the evening, but until eight o'clock this morning, he didn't see anyone, and even Uncle Chen, the old driver who had been following Jiang Zhengwei, couldn't be contacted. This situation is really strange.
Half an hour later, Nia returned to her parents' villa, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother holding something in her hand, walking back and forth in her spirit. Seeing Nia coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Daughter, you're back, I can't contact your father until now, I'm in a hurry." ”
"Mom, don't worry, sit down and let's figure it out together." Nia said reassuring words as she helped her mother to sit down on the couch.
"It's not that mom is in a hurry, look at your father's jade pendant, the color is getting darker and darker, more and more dull, and it doesn't feel warm and moist when you touch it, but it's cool, this has never happened before!" With that, Nia's mother handed the thing she was holding to Nia.
Nia looked down and couldn't help but be taken aback. She remembers her father's jade pendant very clearly, the whole body is smooth, round and full, half white and transparent, crystal clear, half blood red, and the color is gorgeous. But the jade pendant in front of him was not only gloomy, but the blood-red half was still slowly turning black.
Nia knew that her father's jade was different from ordinary jade pendants. I heard my grandfather say that this is a thousand years of incense, and it has been opened by a monk, and it is very spiritual. When my father was born, he used to use his umbilical cord blood to drip on it, and later, every year on his birthday, he would drop a drop of blood, but no matter where you drop this piece of jade, it will automatically flow to the place where the first drop of umbilical cord blood fell, and over time, half of the blood red will be formed. Grandpa said that this is called blood jade, and this jade will be linked to her father's life in the future. People are in jade, and people are dead.
Now Jiang Zhengwei's blood in the blood jade is slowly turning black, and the white half is gradually losing its brilliance, could it be that Jiang Zhengwei really encountered an accident?
For a moment, Nia ran out of ideas. At this time, how she hoped that Chen Yibo could be by her side, help her think of a way, and say something that would comfort her.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed Chen Yibo's number, but after the phone was connected, no one answered until there was a beeping sound. She didn't give up, and dialed again, but no one answered.
Nia lowered her right hand holding the mobile phone and smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that she is not as important as Li Yuqi in Chen Yibo's heart. As soon as I got home, I didn't even dare to answer her phone.
"Daughter, why don't we call the police. sent so many people to the villa under our name and the hotel he often went to and the hotel he didn't go to often, but he didn't find your father, maybe, the police have a way? ”
Nia shook her head, "Mom, my dad only disappeared last night, and it hasn't been 24 hours until now, and the police won't accept it." ”
"What then? We...... We can't just sit still, can we? ”
"Don't worry, let me think first, let me think about it......," Nia thought bitterly as she put her hand on her forehead. Mom, did you ask anyone to find out who my dad saw yesterday? ”
Nia's mother was stunned, "Who did you see?" Your dad was in the company all day yesterday, and the people he saw were nothing more than company employees and a few customers, and what else could there be. ”
"Not necessarily, maybe there are suspicious people. I'll give my dad a call. ”
With that, Nia quickly dialed a number, "Hey? Secretary Liu, please send me a list of all the people my dad met yesterday, especially the people he met before leaving the company in the afternoon. Yes, I want them all. Okay, send it to my phone in half an hour. ”
The usual half-hour was almost unconscious for Nia, but today, it turned into a painful ordeal. Although she also knew in her heart that she might not be able to find her father if she got the list, it was better to have hope than nothing, and she didn't want to let go of any clue that could find her father.
Tick, tick, the phone rang, and Nia almost jumped up and turned it on.
Secretary Liu sent a daily itinerary record, the first ten people were all employees of their group, and Nia had more or less heard of these names. But by the time she got to the eleventh, she looked very strange.
Miss Xia? Who's this? It was still at lunch that my father went out to see him for two and a half hours before coming back.
Nia dialed Secretary Liu's phone again, "Secretary Liu, who is Miss Xia in your list?" ”
"I haven't seen this person either, but she and Mr. Jiang should have known each other for many years, she rarely calls Mr. Jiang, every time Mr. Jiang asks me to help buy a gift, the box must be written with the word Xia, and then Mr. Jiang himself will bring it to her. But there aren't many times like that, maybe five or six times a year. I think she may be a friend of Mr. Jiang, so she doesn't have a special relationship. Because the gifts I buy are all works of art and the like, such things are usually given to friends. ”
"Do you have her phone number and address?"
"I have a mobile phone number, and I don't have an address. I'll report my phone to you first, 138 *********"
"Okay, thank you, I'll look for you again if I have something."
Hanging up Secretary Liu's phone, Nia quickly pressed the phone number just now, but the prompt tone showed that the phone was turned off.
"Miss Xia? Or did your dad know her for many years? ”
When she heard Secretary Liu mention Miss Xia, Niya's mother muttered in her heart.
"Mom, do you know this Miss Xia?"
Niya's mother lowered her head gloomily, "I can't say I know, I just heard your grandparents say a few times, her mother Xia Qiuyi once saved your grandmother, and then I heard that she went to other places, but Xia Qing, oh, it's Miss Xia, she stayed in Suyang City alone." Afterward...... I haven't heard of her. It's just that I don't know that your dad is still in touch with her. ”
Nia saw that her mother's face was not very good-looking, and guessed that this Xia Qing must have some ambiguous relationship with her father.
"Mom, now is not the time to be nostalgic, you go to Dad's study to look for it and see if you can find the news about Xia Qing's address, we must find Dad first."
After tossing all morning, seeing that half a day had passed, the anxiety in Nia's mother's heart was simply scratching her heart. The mother and daughter finally found some clues, how can they easily let go? Hurry upstairs and go to the study to find the address.
Another two hours passed after the two rummaged through them, during which Nia dialed Xia Qing's phone several more times, but each time the phone was turned off. Her father's bodyguards also came back to report it, and it was all useless news. Seeing that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Nia's mother finally found a house sale and purchase agreement in a secret compartment in the study, the buyer was Jiang Zhengwei, and the owner was Xia Qing.
Nia took it and looked at the address: Yulin Shimao Garden-Villa Area 5.
"Mom, I'll go to this address to see, you wait at home." As she spoke, Nia turned to walk out of the study, but before she could reach the door, she heard a thud behind her.
"Daughter, the blood of your father, Jade Perry...... It's all black, and this piece of jade is dead......"
