Chapter Ninety-Eight: Family Pressure
When the eldest sister said these words to me, she was still winking at me, looking very optimistic about my brother. I sneered: "Sister, don't say that, I'll go look for him." ”
I was just about to walk to the restaurant when the eldest sister stopped me: "You Xuan, You Xuan." Come here, I'm talking to you about something. ”
"You say."
She gestured to me to come closer, and I leaned on the marble table at the front desk, and she leaned over and said, "I heard that you have been staying in a hotel for the past two days, and you have not returned to your dormitory." Your brother is also a big man, and if you live in a room with him, you're not afraid of being gossiped about? I'm just going to warn you. ”
I nodded: "Thank you, eldest sister" I understood that this eldest sister had no ill will towards me, and still smiled at her.
When I walked towards the restaurant, I was almost sure that Zong Sheng was in the restaurant. Even if the eldest sister said that she didn't see him come to get the meal ticket, but at this time, what else can Zong Sheng do if he doesn't eat breakfast in the restaurant?
The guest dining room is much more luxurious than the staff dining room, with red carpets, white and red tablecloths, and even beautiful table flags on the window tables. The breakfast here is in the form of a buffet, because the time is still early, there are not many people who come here to eat breakfast, and the dozen or so people of Zongan Group have become the biggest target. As I walked towards their table, I heard Uncle Zong Sheng say, "I really don't understand what my aunt thinks. Both of them are so old, and they still hold on to the mines and real estate and refuse to let them out. Now as soon as Zong Sheng's kid comes back, he will be so big. If this project is completed, his status as the heir in the group will be immediately promoted, and in the future, we side branches may only receive the same salary as others. If this project fails. How rich does he really think his family is? Now his grandfather has to contract the entire county for a rural primary school renovation project. Do you know how much it costs? There are so many rural primary schools, and a primary school has a basketball court, and it will go to tens of thousands. We have all the money in hand, and we will only give the money when the work is finished and accepted. Just because so many rural primary school projects dragged down last year, the money on the real estate side was crushed, and it was the money from the mines that saved the emergency. If there were no mines, we would have been out of work a long time ago. Cut! Zong Sheng! He really thinks he is the son of the richest man, just a few hundred million as pocket money? With such a budget of tens of millions, it is possible to drag Zong An to death. If we really go bankrupt, we are such a big family, and we will all follow that kid to drink the northwest wind. ”
I stood behind my cousin and stomped my foot deliberately, only then did he turn around, and when he saw that it was me, he immediately changed his smile: "Yo, Youxuan is here." Did you have breakfast? Eat with us. He paused, as if he found that the inappropriate words he said just now had been heard by me, and he hurriedly said, "Then, we will go to the Lingling Mansion over there after dinner." In the afternoon, we will go to the government to look at the urban planning, and if there is no problem on both sides, we will be able to make a plan. ”
"Uncle Cousin, have you seen Zong Sheng?" I asked. There were more than a dozen people at a table, and they didn't see Zong Sheng here at all. The heart that I finally put down is mentioned in my throat again.
"I didn't see it, he didn't come down today. He is like this, just explain it in one sentence, and his actions will not be with us. Alas, after all, it is a child who grew up outside, and is not close to our relatives back home. ”
I nodded to him, turned and left. I don't have time to talk nonsense with him, and I can't find Zong Sheng here, I already have a very bad premonition.
Walking out of the restaurant, I called Zong Sheng again, hoping that this time the call would be connected. However, the sound of the mobile phone coming from the non-service area is still unknown. The last time he entered the enchantment, I was weird. How can there be an out-of-service area in the city?
I called Niu Lifan. The mobile phone was quickly connected, and I thought that Niu Lifan was still sleeping at this point, but who knew that he had already said in the mobile phone in high spirits: "You Xuan, so early?" I think you worked the night shift. I just got off work and haven't slept yet. ”
"Is Zong Sheng on your side?"
"No. Didn't he go with you when you sent me back last night? ”
My heart chuckled, and it looked like I was going to think about the worst. As soon as he was in a hurry, his eyes turned red first: "Zong Sheng is gone, he should have disappeared last night." I went to work and didn't see him in the guest room after work. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, think about where he might go, and look for it. Did you call him? ”
"Hit, not in the service area. I found everything I could. And where can he go at this time? He's not the kind of guy who goes out drinking with friends. ”
Niu Lifan also said: "He can't really enter the enchantment of the hotel." ”
"I'm worried about this too. Last night...... "My words were broken. Last night he told me he was going to get some rest, but there was no one to see. Or did he do it on purpose. What happened in the bathroom last night was that he deliberately extended the time, just so that I wouldn't disturb what he had to do. "Niu Lifan, let me go to Zong Sheng again. Maybe he's trapped in it now, just like before? ”
"It's very unlikely, there was a lesson last time, this time, he won't be so risky, wait, if there is no news in the evening, you call me."
He hung up the phone, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do. This city is not the city where Zong Sheng grew up, he is not very familiar with this area, where can he go? I didn't care that I hadn't had lunch yet, so I got on the bus not far from the hotel, I wanted to go to Zong Sheng's house to have a look, if I was sure that he wasn't at home, not in the hotel, not at Niu Lifan's, then it was very likely that he had already entered the enchantment.
As the bus swayed, they finally arrived in front of Zongsheng's small villa in the suburbs. I opened the door with the key he gave me. A cold breath rushed over. The room was quiet, so quiet that there was no sound at all.
"Zong Sheng? Zong Sheng? I shouted, from the living room and kitchen on the first floor, to the master bedroom and guest bedroom on the second floor. I even searched the utility room once, but I didn't see him. He was not in the hotel, and he did not follow up on the matter of Lingling Mansion, and he also went home. Where the hell did he go?
Could it be that he is going back to his hometown? With a glimmer of hope, I pulled out my phone and called my mom. I didn't dare to call Grandma Zongsheng for fear of being scolded. My mother's answer to me was, "Zong Sheng? Didn't you come back? If he came back, he would be surrounded by a crowd of people, and the people in the village would definitely say it. I haven't heard of it at all, so I don't think I came back. ”
I became more and more anxious, and my mind kept thinking about the image of Zong Sheng trapped in the boundless darkness.
When I returned to the city in the afternoon, I went directly to Niu Lifan, which was very simple. I'm going to enter the enchantment at night and bring Zong Sheng out. As soon as I walked into his pawnshop, I saw that he was there and said to an old woman: "Don't worry, your daughter-in-law has thick eyebrows, and your son also has thick eyebrows, this is exactly the same pair." ”
"Didn't people say that a woman cares about her husband with thick eyebrows?"
"A man has thick eyebrows, but he loves to take care of his wife. Isn't that just right? Huang Po, you can't not allow your son to marry just because your future daughter-in-law has thick eyebrows. The young couple lives a good life, and it is good if they think it is good. ”
"My son is always in charge of this 。。。。。。"
"If no one cares, your son will be ruined. Eh, Huang Po, I won't talk to you blindly, I have something serious to do. ”
That Huang Po turned around and looked at me, I was already waiting on the side, smiled at me, said hello to Niu Lifan, and went out first.
"I didn't expect you to look at the face too."
"I didn't before, I only read some books after I met Zong Sheng. He seems to be a miscellaneous. Mai, Qimen, and Yang Gong are all involved. Zong Sheng really didn't find it? ”
If I did, I wouldn't have come to him. "Do you think something will happen to him? He's definitely in the enchantment right now. ”
Niu Lifan pulled me to sit next to the sea of Kung Fu Tea in the shop, and while making tea for me, he said: "He couldn't come out last time because of injury and emotional instability. This time, he had a plan to go in, and I don't think it would be so easy for him to get hurt. The likelihood that he will spy on the military is relatively high. If this spy on the military intelligence, he has no problem getting out. You have a blood contract with him, and you're afraid of losing it? Just that blood contract, until they died, they went over there, and they were still together. ”
"So what the hell am I going to do now?" I asked anxiously, and now I had no clue.
"Wait until it's dark. When you can't wait for him, you can bleed again, follow your feelings, and you will definitely be able to walk to him. "Just like last time.
Still, I asked, "If he wasn't hurt, would he have been able to find me under the blood pact?" "It would be unfair if I could find him and he wouldn't find me.
"What can be found, what can be found, even the dead can be recovered." As soon as Niu Lifan finished speaking, I walked out of his store directly: "I'll wait at the hotel at eleven o'clock in the evening, right?" If he hadn't shown up yet, I'd cut the back of my hand myself at eleven o'clock to find him. ”
As soon as I left, Niu Lifan was also anxious: "Hey, hey, wait for me, I'll drive you." ”
Niu Lifan didn't send me back to the hotel directly, but took me to the side of the road for a fast food. He said he hadn't eaten his own lunch. I also remembered when I saw the food, and I also didn't eat breakfast or lunch. I'm already so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back.
But I'm not in the mood to eat, that is, to eat a few bites. Niu Lifan put the meat in front of me: "Eat this, raw blood, don't put some blood at night, people are still found in rice, and people have already mixed it."
