Chapter 50: Calculated
In the early morning, the sky was gray, and gradually, the sun rose, giving the sky a special layer of red, which is very beautiful!
Today is the 28th of the lunar month, there is no 30th lunar month this year, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. Lao Qi, who has been busy with the restaurant, finally squeezed out some time to prepare to go to the street to buy New Year's goods today, and carefully looked at a shopping list that had been written from beginning to end, for fear of missing something, and after repeatedly making sure that there was no leakage, he folded it, stuffed it into his pocket, picked up the car keys on the table, walked out of the door, glanced at the next room, walked straight over, and knocked on the door, "Kiki, are you up?" ”
In the next second, the door opened, and Fang Zhiqi walked out neatly dressed.
Seeing that Fang Zhiqi looked good and was not affected by those words last night, Lao Qi was relieved for a while, and said with a smile: "After breakfast, I will go to the city!" ”
Fang Zhiqi smiled.
……
Since waking up, Fang Zhiqi doesn't seem to have gone shopping, and she doesn't know what the commercial street of S City is like, now she is like a bird that has just come out of the cage, and she is very curious about everything outside, through the car window, she saw red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, and the street was crowded with people, everyone was carrying heavy New Year's goods in their hands, with a happy smile on their faces.
Suddenly, a large advertising TV set outside the car window caught her eye, or more precisely, the characters in the TV caught her eye.
At this time, Shangguan Nan's talk show was playing inside, and Shangguan Nan in a suit and leather shoes was sitting on the screen, even if he didn't smile, but the sculptural cold and handsome face made all the women can't help but scream.
The sound insulation of the car window was very good, and Fang Zhiqi couldn't hear Shangguan Nan's cello-like low voice, only saw his thin lips move a few times.
"Kiki, get out of the car!" Lao Qi parked his car in the open-air square of Wanfu Shopping Mall.
And that oversized, eye-catching advertising TV stands tall in the middle of the open square.
"Kiki, get out of the car!" Seeing that Fang Zhiqi didn't move, his eyes looked out of the window in a daze, and Lao Qi reminded again.
"Oh!" Fang Zhiqi came back to his senses and quickly pushed the car door.
Seeing the crowd in front of him, in order to prevent the two from getting separated, Lao Qi simply took Fang Zhiqi's little hand.
However, Fang Zhiqi didn't notice the temperature and strange touch coming from his little hands, his eyes were still staring at the eye-catching advertising TV, and he listened carefully to the familiar voice coming from the TV.
Shangguan Nan: It's not just me who does it, but my brother and assistant.
Hostess: Then how did you know that the trafficking gang would smuggle Chinese women abroad that night?
Shangguan Nan: I didn't know there was such a gang before, but that night, it was because one of my female friends had disappeared.
Interviewer: Your friend was on the smuggling boat at the time?
Shangguan Nan: Yes! In order to prevent more women from suffering, they were simply destroyed.
Moderator: I see, thank you for all the women! Thank you for the girls you saved, if it weren't for you, I really can't imagine what kind of life they are living at this moment!
……
Lao Qi followed Fang Zhiqi's line of sight, and saw that the person on the screen was Shangguan Nan, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, thinking: Could it be that Qi Qi still can't forget him? Could it be that she remembered the days with Shangguan Nan? For some reason, when he thought that Fang Zhiqi couldn't forget Shangguan Nan, Lao Qi panicked inexplicably, turned sideways, deliberately blocked Fang Zhiqi's sight, and urged:
"Kiki, let's go! I'm going to have to buy it for many years! ”
Fang Zhiqi came back to his senses suddenly, lowered his eyes, and saw that his little hand was wrapped in a wide and warm big hand, his heart suddenly panicked, and he wanted to pull out his little hand urgently, but the big hand was clamped tightly like pliers.
"Don't move, there are too many people today, it's better to lead!" A low, hoarse voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Seeing Lao Qi's indifferent expression, Fang Zhiqi stopped struggling, and let his little hand be held in the palm of his rough and warm hand.
Lao Qi's hand tightened, and the soft and boneless real touch suddenly set off a stirring in his heart, lowered his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the girl's well-behaved face, and the corners of Lao Qi's mouth couldn't help but outline a beautiful arc.
The mall is full of people, and there are shopping pushers everywhere, which can be described as 'impassable'.
Lao Qi firmly held Fang Zhiqi's hand, for fear that the two would be broken up, so he held the girl's hand with one hand and selected the New Year's goods with the shopping list in the other.
Unconsciously, the New Year's goods in his hands gradually increased, and Lao Qi had to let go of the hands of the two.
"Big brother, give me a little bit of it!"
Lao Qi hurriedly shook his head, he is a big boss, how can this thing bother girls! "No, what's so difficult about this little weight, Kiki, look at it, what else do you need to buy?"
Seeing that Lao Qi stubbornly refused to let her share, Fang Zhiqi thought for a moment, "Why don't I go and pick up a shopping basket!"
"Okay! It's just behind, not far away, I'm waiting for you here! "Looking down and seeing that his hands are full, it is really inconvenient, the old seventy is very annoyed, why didn't he think of taking a shopping basket when he just came in!
Fang Zhiqi got through the crowd, and after a while, he saw the few shopping baskets in the corner.
"Fang Zhiqi, why are you here? Are you here to buy New Year's goods? ”
A delicate female voice sounded in her ears, the hand carrying the basket paused, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a fashionably dressed woman coming to her side, Fang Zhiqi thought in her mind that this woman was so familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Kiki, don't you remember me?" Gu Panpan asked in surprise.
Fang Zhiqi carefully looked at Gu Panpan, who looked like a flower and jade, and after waiting for a moment, he suddenly realized, isn't she Shangguan Nan's wife?
"I remember you, you are Shangguan Nan's wife."
"Hmmm! Not only that, but you and I are the closest friends! After speaking, a trace of unnoticed calculation flashed in the depths of his eyes.
When the words fell, Fang Zhiqi looked at Gu Panpan with a delicate face in front of her in surprise, I don't know why, in her opinion, didn't the main room want to kill the third party when she saw Xiao San? Why are they still best friends? It's a bit abnormal, and it doesn't even make sense!
"Alas! How did you forget about me? By the way, I'll show you a photo of us in the past! ”
After Gu Panpan finished speaking, she opened her mobile phone and flipped out the photos of the two before, these photos were specially stored in her mobile phone in advance, in order to meet Fang Zhiqi one day, and these photos can make her trust herself.
Sure enough, the simple-minded Fang Zhiqi looked at the old photos one by one, and immediately believed what Gu Panpan said, that is, the two of them used to be close friends.
"Kiki, we haven't been together for a long time, and today is the right opportunity, let's go to the café downstairs and sit down!"
"Next time! Big brother is still waiting for me! ”
"Oh! Okay, next time! By the way, I'm going to buy some New Year's goods too, let's go with you! ”
Fang Zhiqi nodded with a smile, carried the shopping basket, and got into the crowded crowd again, Gu Panpan in the back saw Fang Zhiqi squeezing into the people who were rubbing shoulders, and her back was numb, but what made her even more vomiting was that the eldest lady in the wealthy family vomited that there was an unpleasant smell of sweat and fox smell everywhere, and she forcibly endured the overturning of the river and the sea in her stomach, and followed Fang Zhiqi's footsteps into the crowd.
On the other side, after Fang Zhiqi walked away, a shopping mall staff walked up to Lao Qi, looked at Lao Qi's New Year's goods, and said, "Sir, hello!" Do you want all these New Year's goods? ”
The inexplicable words made Lao Qi suddenly angry, glared at the man next to him angrily, and said unceremoniously: "Nonsense, don't, what am I doing with it?" ”
"Sir, if you really plan to buy, go and pay immediately, today the mall is holding an event, the number of these New Year's goods in your hands is limited, and it is a limited-time promotion, now it is only fifteen minutes away from the time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please pay quickly!"
"What? And forcing people to pay? Hum! If you say this, you won't be uncommon! After Lao Qi finished speaking resentfully, he discarded the New Year's goods in his hand on the shelves on the side at will.
"Sir, if you don't buy them, please put them back where they belonged!"
"What? Lao Tzu is biased! What can you do with me? Lao Qi's neck was crossed, and he asked coldly.
"Then I don't mind calling a security guard!"
After the man finished speaking, he really took out the walkie-talkie on his waist, "Security, come to the third floor of the mall!" ”
After a while, sure enough, several uniformed security guards came, and they were all tall and mighty.
"You ......"
Before Lao Qi finished speaking, he was taken out by several powerful security guards.
When Fang Zhiqi arrived, there was no trace of Lao Qi at all.
"Where's Big Brother? Where did it go? Fang Zhiqi stood up, his eyes anxiously searched around, but in the vast sea, there was no trace of Lao Qi at all.
"You came with Lao Qi?" Gu Panpan beside him asked.
Fang Zhiqi nodded, "You also know my eldest brother?" ”
"Of course! Know him before you do! So be it! You look this way, I'll go that way! Gu Panpan pointed in another direction
Fang Zhiqi did not doubt that Gu Panpan's arrangement was false, and quickly looked for it in the direction that Gu Panpan said.
Seeing Fang Zhiqi's disappearing back, Gu Panpan's apricot eyes, which were as clear as water, instantly turned into a wild eagle-like yin owl and fierceness, all the kindness and gentleness before seemed to have never been, and he took out his mobile phone, "Zihan, I've done it, you can do it over there!" After speaking, the corners of his mouth hooked a sad smile.
After Lao Qi walked out of the security room for some reason, he felt more and more that things were a little weird, for some reason, he had a very bad premonition in his heart, when he rushed to the place where he was waiting for Fang Zhiqi before, he waited left and right without waiting for Fang Zhiqi's trace.
"Can't wait any longer! She's definitely in the mall! Lao Qi comforted himself while squeezing towards the crowd in a panic, and finally found that a person's strength was too small, so he called all the relatives and friends in S City to help find someone.
Half an hour passed, an hour passed,...... Two hours passed, and the entire Wanfu Shopping Mall was searched several times by them, and it was almost three feet into the ground, but Lao Qi still did not find any trace of Fang Zhiqi.
Lao Qi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea, and a fear that he had never felt before struck sharply.
"Fang Zhiqi, Fang Zhiqi ......"
Lao Qi went crazy in Wanfu Shopping Mall over and over again, shouting Fang Zhiqi's name heartbreakingly, and all that answered him was the surprised eyes of everyone looking at them like crazy.
Kiki, where are you? Tell me where you are?
