After the thunderbolt smashed down on the head, despite the huge emotional impact, Su Chengyi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The more times like this, the more you have to be calm.

If you behave out of control at this point in time, you will not be able to get more effective information from Li Lu.

"What's going on?"

Su Chengyi's tone was calm, as if he was asking something that had nothing to do with him.

Li Lu really observed his expression and made sure that he was the same as usual before replying:

"I also just found out that she missed all the exams. I can't contact her now, and the number I gave my parents has always been empty."

Su Chengyi took out his mobile phone, and the chat interface between the two only stayed at the good night he sent last night.

"Don't worry, I'll get in touch later. She had been in this situation in school before, and maybe she decided to give up the college entrance examination temporarily. ”

Li Lu opened the student information form and prepared to look up the student's address.

"Don't bother the teacher, the parent numbers are all fake, can the address be real?"

Su Chengyi lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

The calmer he seemed on the surface, the more turbulent his heart became.

It shouldn't be a debt collector.

In the past few days, Brother Xiaofei has sent him a message every day to report, and the people who are watching him nearby say that the gang has never been here.

I guess I really feel that there is no oil and water to squeeze.

As for the temporary decision to give up the college entrance examination, it is even more unlikely.

Su Chengyi didn't believe that such a possibility would arise at all.

If Chen Jinzhi had been ready to give up a long time ago, how could this period of time still be in this state of learning?

Brushing up questions day and night, just for something that has already decided to give up?

Then there is only one reason left.

"I see."

Su Chengyi made a decision in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, just nodded at Li Lu.

"This matter will be dealt with by the teacher and the school in the future, and the reason will be figured out, don't be impulsive."

Li Lu frowned, and there was a little worry in his eyes.

It doesn't look like it's that simple to get out.

Su Chengyi still just nodded slightly.

Back in the crowd, everyone was still jubilantly discussing tonight's event.

Su Chengyi stood not far away and hooked his hand at Xu Yang.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Yang was originally smiling, but when he saw his expression, he suddenly felt something strange.

"Help me get my bag. After a while, if Mr. Li asked, he said that I went to the toilet. ”

"Uh-huh, okay."

Although he didn't know what the situation was, since it was Su Chengyi's request, Xu Yang of course patted his chest and made a guarantee.

Su Chengyi patted him on the shoulder, walked quickly through the chaotic crowd, and went straight to the taxi at the door.

"Olive Road bus entrance. Master, hurry up. ”

The taxi driver is very powerful, and the speed is already at the limit in the city.

Su Chengyi always felt that it was not fast enough.

It was as if something was slipping through his fingers at a rapid pace, and no matter how hard he tried to hold on to it, it would be useless.

Chen Jinzhi did not come to take the college entrance examination.

What does it represent, it means that the efforts in the past few months have been in vain.

It's like a four-year trainee career, and suddenly he didn't count the night before his debut.

This time, she's back to square one.

"It's here."

As soon as the driver said this, the car had not completely stopped, and the sound of the door opening came from the back seat.

"This kid is so anxious that he doesn't want to escape the order, there is no charge for college entrance examination candidates today."

The driver smiled helplessly, and when he turned his head again, he saw a brand new red bill lying on the seat.

Su Chengyi was just walking fast at first, but then he was already running uncontrollably.

The setting sun was blood-red, reflecting the whole street turning into a magnificent gold, stretching his figure very long.

When I finally stood at the familiar gate, the first thing that caught my eye was a few bags of garbage piled up at the door.

There was no sealed take-out box, and it leaked all over the floor.

None of the beer bottles were intact, and shards of green glass were everywhere.

The rotten fruit was also thrown haphazardly, and the flies buzzed around.

If Chen Jinzhi is here, he will definitely not let his door become like this.

Su Chengyi glanced in through the railing, and the light in the living room was on.

He looked up and saw that the fence was not very high.

The outer walls of such buildings are generally just for appearance.

Su Chengyi did not hesitate, and took advantage of the fact that there were no passers-by facing this side, grabbed the gap in the railing, and turned in.

I stepped on the overgrown ground and groped my way to the entrance of the three-story building.

I listened to it against the wall, and the sound of the TV was turned on very loudly, as if it was playing some game.

This was complemented by the sound of beer bottles slamming against the tabletop, and every now and then someone burping.

Su Chengyi closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down.

In any case, the answer is in front of you, and you can't drop the chain at this time.

He turned on his phone and typed in the eleven phone numbers he had already knew.

There was a harsh ringing of mobile phones in the room, followed by the voice of a middle-aged man scolding, and he immediately chose to hang up after discovering that it was an unfamiliar number.

There is a high probability that it is a debt collector.

Su Chengyi looked at the call termination interface on the screen, thought about it, and edited a text message to send it over.

"Hello, I just called you and I didn't get through.

This is the Shunfeng Express Service Center.

Mr. Chen Wende, you have a courier that needs to be signed for in person.

If it's not you, ignore it. ”

After the delivery was completed, he immediately dialed again.

This time, perhaps seeing the text message, Chen Wende did not choose to hang up, and picked it up with extreme impatience:

"Hello?"

Across a wall, Su Chengyi could smell the disgusting smell of wine on his body, but he still said politely:

"Hello, Shunfeng Express, is it Mr. Chen Wende?"

"Yes, what courier? I haven't bought anything. ”

"It was sent from Yangcheng, the sender's surname is Su, urgent, please sign for confirmation in person."

"What's wrong with you couriers? Wouldn't it be okay to put it at the door? I have to sign for it myself, and I have to pretend to be 2580,000 yuan. Grass. ”

Although Chen Wende was scolding, Su Chengyi had already heard him get up from the sofa.

"I'm in trouble."

After Su Chengyi finished saying these three words, he pressed the hang up button expressionlessly.

Listening to the sound of the old security door unlocking, Su Chengyi untied the strap of the old-fashioned quartz watch on his wrist.

Instead of putting it back in his pocket, it slowly wrapped it around his fingers.

The moment Chen Wende showed his head, his eyes were dark, and his ears were buzzing.

Something hard slammed into his face, sharp shards cracked, thorns pierced into the skin, and in an instant the mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

Then he kicked straight to the abdomen, and before he could see the comer, he could not control his backwards and fell to the ground.

The drunken state was already a little delirious, and after being hit like this twice, Chen Wende had no strength to resist, just panting.

Su Chengyi came in after him and closed the door with his backhand.

The expression on his face was still calm, and only the slightly trembling fingers showed that he was already a little out of control.

Looking at Chen Wende, who was lying on the ground, clutching his abdomen and screaming in pain, he didn't have a trace of pity in his eyes, he just took two steps forward, grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

"What about Chen Jinzhi?"

Hearing his question, the man on the ground who was struggling couldn't help but laugh out loud as if he had heard some joke.

"Who am I supposed to be, a kid who hasn't grown any hair, and you want to find her? Yes, pay over there. ”

Su Chengyi listened to him finish speaking, raised his finger to look at the dial that had been shattered, and punched it down again.

"Where is she now?"

Chen Wende spat out his broken teeth and struggled to open his eyes, his eyes full of banter.

"If you have a kind of, you will beat Lao Tzu again. Lao Tzu told you not to want to see her in the next life. ”

Su Chengyi was silent for a moment, took out a few banknotes from his pocket, crumpled them into a handful, pinched his chin, and stuffed them into his bloody mouth.

With a case of beer piled up at his feet, Su Chengyi picked up a bottle casually, smashed the mouth of the bottle, and poured the bubbling beer into his mouth stuffed with banknotes.

Chen Wende did not have the slightest shame of being humiliated, but swallowed the moistened money like this, and his smile was close to madness.

"Yo, don't you say it early when you know a rich Kaizi like you. Do you say so? It's a mess. Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, Su Chengyi had already pierced the untidy beer bottle that had just been knocked open into his palm.

Only then did he realize that the fingers of his left hand had completely disappeared, leaving only a bare palm, which was bubbling out of blood at the moment.

"Knowing so many rich people, she can ask for Lao Tzu's life-saving money as soon as she opens her mouth, why doesn't she ask for it?"

seemed to be poked at the sore spot by Su Chengyi's somewhat surprised look, and Chen Wende's eyes finally showed a bit of hatred.

"Let Lao Tzu become like this, okay, she doesn't want to be happy. Ha, want to go away and fly high? Fly on the branches to make a phoenix? Is it possible? ”

"The madman's daughter is also a madman, and she looks exactly the same, and I feel disgusted to look at it again."

"Why didn't they die together back then?"

Su Chengyi felt that there was not much reason left, and now even the last string had broken.

So this incident was really caused by Chen Wende.

Chen Jinzhi didn't help him borrow money to pay off his debts, he held a grudge and ruined Chen Jinzhi's college entrance examination.

Su Chengyi stood up and stepped on Chen Wende's face.

Seeing the blood spit out from the corner of his mouth soaking into the cracks in the floor, Su Chengyi turned around and went to the kitchen.

When I came back, I had a clean and reflective weapon in my hand.

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Wende didn't seem to expect this young man to be so ruthless.

"Makes you look a little symmetrical."

Su Chengyi bent his knees and pressed against his elbows, forcing the five fingers of his right hand to spread.

"You're crazy, do you want to go to jail?"

Chen Wende couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but shout in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, do you need my help to call the police?"

Su Chengyi moved his wrist.

"Do you dare? You scum in the gutter, does the law work for you? ”

Su Chengyi looked down at him condescendingly, and the cold light of a sharp weapon was reflected on his face.

Chen Wende suddenly felt that he would definitely do what he said.

"Let me ask you one last time, where is Chen Jinzhi?"

Su Chengyi suppressed the anger in his chest and asked for the last time.

There is no way, Chen Wende really grasped his weakness.

But if the result is already like this, if something really happens to Chen Jinzhi, he will definitely let the damned people die now.

Chen Wende seemed to have awakened the last arrogance before his execution, and said tremblingly:

"Want to know? Next life. ”

So Su Chengyi no longer hesitated, and when he was about to raise the knife in his hand, there was a sudden "clang" at the door of another room, followed by a woman's sharp scream.

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and saw that it was the so-called aunt in Chen Jinzhi's mouth.

She was carrying a basin, as if she had just come out of the shower, and was screaming in a bloody face.

Su Chengyi lowered his head, only to see that Chen Wende on the ground had his eyes closed, and seemed to faint in fright.

He stood up and walked over to the woman.

Behind the woman was the bathroom, and before she could turn around and take two steps, she slipped and fell to the ground, crawling into the corner, unable to retreat.

The young man who walked in was covered in blood, holding a bright knife in his hand, and the man in the living room was lying flat, and it was already difficult to distinguish between life and death.

The woman trembled, and all that was left was the strength to cry.

"Shut up."

After Su Chengyi finished speaking, he immediately realized that she might not understand, so he changed the language:

"Shut up or I'll kill you fucking bitch." ）”

The woman seemed to understand and nodded busily.

Then, before he could speak, she trembled and pointed upstairs, and said incoherently:

"Debt. Debt Hill Building. ”

Su Chengyi frowned,

"Third floor?"

The moment the woman nodded, Su Chengyi turned around and ran out.

After passing through the second floor, which looked like a serious bedroom, the third floor left for Chen Jinzhi was an extremely dilapidated attic.

The railing, which has fallen into disrepair, is crumbling at the slightest touch.

The wooden door looked very unstable, and Su Chengyi pushed it hard a few times, but there was no sign of opening it.

"Chen Jinzhi?"

He raised his hand and knocked at the door.

No response.

In the dark, he felt that Chen Jinzhi must be inside.

"Chen Jinzhi!"

Su Chengyi didn't know that he could still make such a hoarse voice before.

Still no one responded.

The bad feeling is getting stronger.

He took a few steps back, ran and kicked hard.

Then I realized that there seemed to be something heavy behind the door.

Su Chengyi changed his mind, grabbed the old bench next to him and began to smash the upper half of the door panel.

Fortunately, the wooden door was too old, and soon a crack opened, and he grabbed the wooden board and broke it with his bare hands.

The sawdust was stuck in the palm of his hand, and he didn't know it, but he only forcibly removed the upper half of the door panel, and then he saw the scene inside.

The house was in a mess, and there was no trace of Chen Jinzhi.

The bed was moved to the door to block the door, and Su Chengyi leaned over and got into the hole he had smashed out.

There were broken white porcelain tiles on the floor, and a blue word "hot" could be seen on the slightly larger one.

Ah, the cup I bought at the boutique in front of the school to "drink more hot water".

Su Chengyi stepped on the porcelain piece and walked inside.

There were no decent desks in the room, and on the edge of the windowsill were stacked with textbooks and a black notebook spread out.

He didn't need to look at the content to know that it was the art school information that he summarized page by page.

It's no longer needed.

Seeing these things at such a time, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.

What about Chen Jinzhi?

He turned around in a trance and saw the closet on the other side of the room.

He stumbled over, and the moment he opened the cabinet door, his knees went limp, and he almost fell to his knees.

Chen Jinzhi curled up in the corner, his face pale, his eyes closed, and there was no place on his body that was not covered with bruises and scars.

The skin on the forehead is wrinkled, and the body temperature is very cold.

It is a sign of dehydration.

Su Chengyi trembled his hands and held her wrist.

After catching a faint pulse, the "rumble" in his ears finally fell silent, and he heard himself calling for an ambulance again.
