Chapter 64: Falling short
Chen Xi still had a lot of questions to ask Li Jinwei, but it didn't seem convenient for him there, so he hung up the phone without even telling the flight number.
In the afternoon, Chen Xi picked up He Jiaqi and went to Pengcheng International Airport.
After getting in the car, He Jiaqi said: "Listen to what you mean, Li Jinwei wants to stop every time he speaks, I feel that this matter is not simple." ”
As an investigative reporter, He Jiaqi is quite keen, things are weird, and she doesn't worry about Chen Xi going alone.
Chen Xi: "I don't want to do so much, I just hope to see Zhuo Cheng quickly and bring him over for my aunt to see, but she has fulfilled her wishes." ”
After the two arrived at the airport, they waited at the international flight pick-up gate. It's just that when it gets dark, I still haven't heard from Li Jinwei.
He Jiaqi felt that she couldn't wait like this, so she contacted her master Ouyang to see if there was any other way to find Li Jinwei, but before Ouyang could reply, a man wearing the uniform of an airport maintenance officer walked up to Chen Xi and said to her,
"Mr. Li asked me to tell you that the thing that brought people back failed, and he is very sorry."
When Chen Xi heard this, most of the blood on his face disappeared in an instant, stared at the man, and asked, "Where is Mr. Li?" ”
"He had an accident, what happened, he will contact you when it is convenient for him." After the man finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but He Jiaqi pulled his sleeve.
He Jiaqi didn't let him go, "Who are you?" Did Li Jinwei come back to Pengcheng? ”
"Miss, please let me go. All I can say is that Mr. Li has done his best. When he was investigating in Japan, he encountered many obstacles and was injured as a result. ”
There were many people around to look over, and He Jiaqi had to let go of the man.
The man glanced at Chen Xi again, and merged into the flow of people.
He Jiaqi gritted his teeth a little, "Did Li Jinwei fool us?" ”
Chen Xi flipped out the photo that Li Jinwei sent her in the morning and said: "This photo was taken at the terminal of Haneda Airport in Tokyo, and there is today's date on the screen, and they should have gone through the security check at that time." ”
On the way back, He Jiaqi called Ouyang again and asked him to ask about Li Jinwei.
Two days later, Chen Xi tried to call Li Jinwei, but all of them turned off his phone.
She came to the painting village to look for him, but the staff at his coffee shop said he hadn't been back recently.
Chen Xi returned disappointed, Jiang Yiying saw her look of sorrow, and proposed, "Xixi, have you told Gao Zhexing about this?" With his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone in Pengcheng. ”
Chen Xi shook his head, "I haven't told him, he's been busy with projects in Hong Kong City recently, and we haven't seen each other for a week." ”
But Jiang Yiying's words made Chen Xi want Gao Zhexing to help find someone, and Ren Ying couldn't wait.
Leaving the oil painting village, Chen Xi drove to Gao Zhe's house.
Gao Zhexing was not there, he was still on his way back to Pengcheng in Gangcheng.
After Chen Xi took a bath, he sat in the living room on the first floor and waited for him, but when his eyes were sleepy, he hadn't arrived home yet. Chen Xi didn't want to call him to urge him, lest he feel that he was verbose.
Gao Zhexing arrived home in the early morning, and when he entered the door, he saw Chen Xi who was asleep on the sofa.
He walked over and picked him up, Chen Xi woke up and saw him, his nasal voice was thick, "You're back?" ”
"Why don't you go up to the bedroom and sleep?"
"Waiting for you."
Gao Zhexing curled the corners of his mouth and landed a kiss on Chen Xi's forehead, Chen Xi put one hand on his shoulder, and let him carry him upstairs.
Entering the bedroom, Gao Zhexing went to take a bath, Chen Xi took a nap just now, and now he is not sleepy, and he took out his mobile phone to watch the news.
But I can't see it, my mind is full of Ren Ying's things.
Gao Zhexing came out, saw Chen Xi looking out the window, approached her, and asked, "Why do you want to be so engrossed?" ”
Chen Xi's expression became serious, "There's something I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Gao Zhexing looked at her, his eyes were slightly dark, "What are you busy with?" ”
Chen Xi told Ren Ying and Li Jinwei to find someone, and said,
"That person named Li Jinwei should have found Zhuo Cheng, but he suddenly evaporated like the world, I can't get in touch, can you help me find him?"
Gao Zhexing said: "You are looking for a broker to do business, why didn't you tell me before?" ”
His tone was calm, but Chen Xi inexplicably felt a trace of displeasure in him.
"I...," Chen Xi sighed, "I don't want to trouble you for everything." ”
"I'll handle the follow-up, don't contact that person again." Gao Zhexing said, picked up the mobile phone on the side, and left the bedroom, Chen Xi didn't see the ruthlessness that flashed in his eyes.
Fifteen minutes after he came back, Chen Xi was already lying down, and with the dent of the mattress behind her, she was scooped into his arms.
Chen Xi turned around, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his fingertips on his stubble, "Have you been tired lately?" ”
The stubble had grown, and the more tired the thing was, the easier it was to grow, and she could tell he was in a bad mood.
Gao Zhexing looked at her, his eyes were deep, as if some emotions were surging and brewing, and he said for a long time: "Xixi, when this time is over, we will go on vacation." ”
Chen Xi remembered that the last time they quarreled over the matter of Putuo Technology, he also said something similar, but he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
"Okay." Chen Xi teased him, "But you said the same thing last time, I don't know when Mr. Gao will have time to cash in?" ”
Gao Zhexin kissed her forehead, "I won't let you wait too long." ”
"Hmm."
Chen Xi wanted to move over and turn off the light to sleep, but was pressed under Gao Zhexing, the two were completely skin-to-skin, and his desire for her was so obvious.
Lust is not easy to explain. Obviously, there were a lot of things in his heart, but at the moment when he pressed himself, Chen Xi still felt extremely excited and happy.
The two haven't been together for more than a week, they miss each other, and all the intimacy just falls into place.
She responds to his kisses, to his movements.
Gao Zhexing's dark eyes contained deep desire, his jaw was tensed, his strong waist hit powerfully, and sweat flowed down, staining a piece of erect dark wheat-colored pectoral abs and abs.
Gao Zhexing was very excited this night, he seemed to be venting something, he had endless energy, and his sturdy body kept galloping on her, making Chen Xi go back and forth between heaven and hell several times, and finally he didn't even know whether he passed out or fell asleep from exhaustion.
...
Chen Xi arrived at the company at almost 11 o'clock in the morning.
He Chengcheng teased her, "You also have today!" ”
Embarrassment flashed on Chen Xi's face, when Gao Zhexing woke up in the morning, he asked her to get up, but she was really sleepy and tired, she fell asleep again, and when she woke up again, he had already left after the point of work.
Chen Xi quickly changed the subject, "Anna called me just now, she was leaving. ”
It was also because she received a call from Anna, a follow-up interpreter in Japan, who said that she had to stop on the side of the road and talk on the phone for half an hour about leaving her job.
He Chengcheng was quite surprised, "Why did she suddenly want to leave?" ”
Chen Xi: "Anna said that she wanted to return to China for development, and insisted on completing the handover at the end of the month. ”
He Chengcheng didn't believe it, "Anna's advantage is Japanese and medical background, neither of which is advantageous when returning to China. And I remember that she had a doctor boyfriend over there, and I only saw her show her affection on Moments two days earlier, and suddenly said that she would return to China, I didn't believe it. ”
Chen Xi nodded, "I think so too, so I plan to have a video chat with her later." But if she insists on leaving, we will do it according to the contract. ”
He Chengcheng thought for a while and said, "I originally asked a friend to go to Tokyo at the end of the month to fetch water, I'll go over tomorrow and just talk to her in person." ”
Chen Xi: "It's okay. ”
The next day, Chen Xi sent He Chengcheng to the airport, and was just about to drive back, when the rehabilitation hospital called her, and Ren Ying left.
After Ren Ying was rescued for the last time, she never came out of the IcU, Chen Xi had already been mentally prepared, but after hearing the news, she still lay on the steering wheel and cried, for Ren Ying's bumpy life.
After all, she still couldn't see Zhuo Cheng.
After Chen Xi called Qin Hui to inform her of Ren Ying's death, she drove to the rehabilitation hospital.
When he saw Ren Ying for the last time in the morgue, Chen Xi couldn't cry again.
It's not that she hasn't experienced life and death, it's the first time to face it alone, it's very uncomfortable, she can't help but call Gao Zhexing, who was connected, she cried and said, "Zhexing, my aunt is gone." ”
At the moment, she longed for him to be by her side.
Gao Zhexing heard her cry, and his heart jerked, "Where are you?" ”
"Rehabilitation Hospital." Chen Xi's voice was very low.
"Xixi, I can't leave now, I'll find someone to accompany you."
"Hmm." Chen Xi was a little disappointed, but he also understood that he was busy with work.
Soon, Gao Zhexing's people came over, it was a middle-aged woman, she called herself Sister Wu, she contacted the funeral service company, and accompanied Chen Xi to go through various certification procedures.
Ren Ying didn't have many friends before her death, and even fewer relatives came and went, so there was not so much red tape, so the funeral was scheduled to be held three days later, and the date was chosen by the master by the funeral service company.
Qin Hui couldn't make it in time, but her current husband Wei Ming came, and Chen Songming and his wife, Jiang Yiying and Wang Haoran all came.
Wang Haoran watched Chen Xi busy before and after, but her boyfriend didn't show up, but he saw the wreath sent by the man.
Also seeing the wreath with Gao Zhexing's name was Chen Songming, he was very puzzled, but he didn't think about his daughter, only thinking that Ren Ying might have made extensive friends during his lifetime.
After the ceremony, Chen Xi thanked the relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral.
One of Ren Ying's friends, Boss Su, looked at Chen Xi, a little speechless, Chen Xi was more familiar with him, and asked, "Uncle Su, do you have anything to say?" ”
Boss Su glanced at Ren Ying's portrait, his face was sad, and he said after a while: "Xixi, are you still helping Ren Ying find that Zhuo Cheng?" ”
Chen Xi nodded, his tone regretful, "It was a bit eyebrow-raising, but unfortunately it fell short in the end." ”
"Zhuo Cheng is still alive." Boss Su is not in a questioning tone, but in an affirmative tone.
Chen Xi looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Uncle Su, do you have any news of him?" ”
Boss Su: "My Malay friend told me not long ago that they had seen Zhuo Cheng in the local area, the news is not certain, I dare not tell Aunt Ren easily, until recently, I went to Malay and saw the photos in my friend's store, so I was sure that the person was Zhuo Cheng." Moreover, he had remarried many years ago. ”
When Chen Xi heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't control his expression, and even his lips opened gently.
