Chapter 20: Su Mei is missing
Jian Bai was a little surprised by the little girl in front of him, she really learned from someone, she was a master negotiator at a young age, first suppressed and then raised, and finally put forward a tempting condition for you to do things for him, the overall idea is very clear.
If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have any intentions for Li Tingchen, it would be really easy to be fooled by her.
"You didn't even ask who I was and said you wanted to help me chase your brother, aren't you afraid that I will cheat your brother?" Jian Bai also had the idea of teasing her.
"The person who can deceive my brother hasn't been born yet!" Huayu raised her little face proudly. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Jane White!"
"No wonder my brother brought you back, you have a white letter in your name."
Jian Bai's heart moved, and his eyes swept to the piggy bank just now, "That is the person your brother likes?" That person also has a white letter in his name? ”
"Well, you're qualified to chase my brother, you're not the kind of brainless woman!" Hua Yu approached Jian Bai and said mysteriously, "Do you want to know what the name of the woman my brother likes?"
You promise me to pretend to be my sister and go to see my teacher in a while, and I will tell you. ”
Jian Bai looked at her amusedly, "Are you asking the teacher to rush back to call the parents?" What's the trouble at school? ”
"I ......"
"Find someone to pretend to be your parent again? Can you change the approach next time? Before Hua Yu's words were finished, Li Tingchen's deep voice came from the corridor.
Jian Bai's heart tightened, and Huayu was so frightened that she stuck out her tongue.
"I know you're busy, how can you have time to worry about my affairs, and it's all trivial......"
"Nonsense, is it a trivial matter to beat your classmates to the hospital?" Li Tingchen raised his hand and held Huayu's ear, "How many times have I told you, letting you learn kung fu is for you to protect yourself, not to fight with your classmates." ”
"Oh, ears, it's awkward! I can't be blamed for that, it's him who bullied his classmates, and I can't get used to it. Huayu covered her ears and tears were wrung out.
"Mr. Li, I think it's better to find out what is going on, if Huayu is really for his classmates, I don't think it's a bad thing, just pay attention to the proportions of your shots next time."
After all, there are really not many people who are willing to stand up for others now. Jian Bai stretched out his hand to stop it and rescued Huayu's ear.
Huayu took the opportunity to hide behind Jian Bai, "That's it, you always scold me without asking!" ”
Li Tingchen's hand that was about to grab Hua Yu stopped in mid-air, as if what he said touched him something, he put down his hand, "I will ask your teacher to understand the situation today, if I let me know that you are bullying people at school, I can't spare you." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jian Bai again, "I'll let Zhanyi send you back, the license has been done, if you need anything, you can find ...... directly" He paused, "Find Zhanyi." ”
Jian Bai's eyes flashed, and he nodded, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Li." ”
The conversation between the two was rusty, not at all as intense as it had been.
Huayu looked at Li Tingchen and then at Jian Bai with some surprise, and then whispered in Jian Bai's ear, "Did I guess wrong?" You're not my brother's woman? ”
"Huh? Hair?! ”
The next second, Li Tingchen pulled her out of the bedroom with her ponytail.
"That Sister Jane, leave a contact information!"
Jian Bai looked at the flower language that was taken away by Li Tingchen, and inexplicably felt a kind of envy in his heart.
It turns out that being cared for and taken care of will be so carefree and wanton.
Back in the store, Jian Bai finally saw Li Tingchen's strength, the few small cadres who had made things difficult for her before were all dismissed, and even the establishment was gone, and she was completely expelled from the original unit.
Section Chief Chen, who did something to her, not only lost his job, but was also found to have embezzled, accepted bribes, and solicited prostitution. At the beginning, he threatened to send Jian Bai to prison, but he went in himself.
The worst thing is that I heard that his hand was broken that night, and in the future, let alone touching beautiful women, it will be a problem to hold chopsticks.
After getting all the formalities, Jian Bai began to be busy with the opening of the antique store, and before he knew it, the day passed.
Now Jian Bai lives on the second floor of the antique store that is about to open.
Closing the door and locking the windows and doors, she shuffled up the wooden staircase to the second floor.
The space on the second floor is not too large, with a usable area of less than ninety square meters.
Two bedrooms and one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.
Although it is simple, Jian Bai lives with peace of mind.
One room is used as a bedroom, and one room is used as a study.
In the study, a safe was deliberately embedded in the wall, after all, she was an antique shop, and she still had a few valuable things.
Especially the jade dragon that was auctioned at the gambling stone conference.
Jian Bai was so tired that he didn't even have the heart to order takeout, so he casually soaked a bag of noodles for today's second meal. She only ate a few slices of bread and drank a glass of milk at Li Tingchen's house in the morning, and her stomach was already empty until now.
As soon as she ate half of the noodles, she suddenly remembered that Su Mei hadn't called her all day.
It's not her style, knowing that she invited those people to dinner alone last night, she should have called her last night to ask for the results.
Could it be that I haven't heard it after a busy day?
She flipped through the call record of her mobile phone while eating, which showed that the last time she talked to Su Mei was yesterday at noon, Su Mei called her and told her that she couldn't accompany her to socialize at night if she had an emergency.
Something is wrong, even if she didn't call her last night, it would be impossible for Su Mei not to ask her about the progress of the matter all day today.
Jian Bai suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
She hurriedly called Su Mei, the phone went through, but it was always a busy signal, and the phone was turned off again?!
No, it's impossible for Su Mei not to answer her phone, unless she's in a meeting or doing an important interview.
Jian Bai couldn't care about eating noodles, so he hurriedly called Su Mei's mother to ask if Su Mei was at home.
"Xiaobai, I haven't come to eat for a long time, and when I have time to come over and make dumplings for you!" Su Mei's mother's voice was gentle and kind, the kind that Jian Bai longed to hear the most.
Although Su Mei's family doesn't have much money, and her parents are the most ordinary people, they give Su Mei the deepest love. Every time Jian Bai went to her house, her father and mother treated her like a daughter.
She likes to go, but she doesn't dare to go often.
"Okay auntie, is Su Mei at home now?" Jian Bai tried his best to make his voice sound normal, so as not to arouse Su Mei's mother's suspicion and nervousness.
"No, didn't she tell you, she has an interview that is going on a business trip for a few days."
"Yes, she said, I forgot about it in the past two days. She said she didn't say where she was going? ”
"I didn't say it, her appearance is quite mysterious, is something wrong with her? I couldn't get through to her phone today. Su Mei's mother was still sensitive to sensing that something was wrong with Jian Bai.
"No, Auntie, don't think about it, she must be interviewing, you can't answer the phone casually, and I'll get back to you when she's done." If it's not early, you can rest early. Jian Bai hurriedly covered up the matter.
Putting down the phone, Jian Bai's heart sank even more.
She called Su Mei's colleague again, and came to the same conclusion, saying that Su Mei had gone to do an external transfer, and it was not clear where to check anything.
Jian Bai felt her head buzzing, Su Mei was a friend to her, more like a sister and a relative.
Knowing that something might happen to her, her mind was completely confused.
She picked up her mobile phone and wanted to dial 110 to call the police, but she didn't have any evidence to prove that Su Mei had an accident, and the police wouldn't accept it at all.
What to do? What to do?
She began to blame herself, she only cared about opening the store before, and didn't even ask Su Mei where she was going and what she was doing. My friend has failed too much.
Just then, her phone rang, and a text message flashed into her eyes.
She looked at the mobile phone number of the text message, Su Mei's!
Let's take a look at the content again: If you want to save Su Mei, you will take the Jade Dragon to the Beiwan Reservoir before twelve o'clock. Don't call the police, don't take anyone else, otherwise you will collect Su Mei's body.
Accompanying this text message was a photo of Su Mei tied up in a utility room.
