80: Missing
He bumped into Yu Xinyi, who saw the car keys in his hand and asked with a puzzled look, “Where are you trying to go?”
Li Yi, seeing this, awkwardly looked around and said, “Uh… Chen Beixuan has some business, so I’m going to check on him. You know, he’s very important right now, and nothing can go wrong.”
He thought saying this would help him escape, but to his surprise, Yu Xinyi didn’t give him a chance.
“Oh~ then I’ll go with you. I was just about to go to the hospital to ask the doctor a female question.”
Hearing this, Li Yi immediately wanted to cry but had no tears. He decided to make one last attempt, “No need, I can ask for you if you have any questions.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sure, absolutely sure. Don’t forget, I even bought sanitary pads for you in junior high.”
As he mentioned this, the scene from back then flashed in his mind. The way the cashier looked at him made him wish he could find a hole to crawl into.
Finally, giving up, he defiantly told the cashier, “What kind of look is that? Can’t I buy them to pad my feet?”
Yu Xinyi, hearing this, looked at him with a mischievous smile and nodded, “Then help me ask, how do you drain a person dry without harming a man’s life?”
Li Yi, hearing these shocking words, instinctively cried out.
“Ah?”
No, how could such words come from a woman’s mouth?
This made his desire to go to Australia after the New Year even stronger. He wanted to see if there was something special there that could turn Yu Xinyi into this.
“What ‘ah’? Do you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do? Look into my eyes and tell me again, are you trying to avoid me?”
Hearing this, Li Yi stared at her bright eyes, which seemed to contain countless stars.
So beautiful!
He couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Seeing his infatuated look, Yu Xinyi secretly rejoiced.
“Hey, have you stared enough? If not, I’ll let you look again tonight.”
As soon as she said this, Li Yi instantly snapped back to reality and was certain.
The sky in Australia must be yellow, having dyed people’s minds yellow too.
“Xinyi, you have eye boogers.”
Huh?
Hearing this, Yu Xinyi immediately bristled.
She walked forward, grabbed Li Yi’s arm, and pulled him inside, not forgetting to warn him, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I know if you’re trying to be sneaky or not even if you stick your butt out.”
“No, is this all you learned from studying abroad? Are the professors there all human survivors?”
“Don’t change the subject. I’m staying here tonight. I’m scared to sleep alone, so you’re getting off easy.”
Li Yi, hearing this, couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
It’s over!
At the same time!
In Cloud City’s Yinjing district,
Four Bodyguards, after getting Li Gang’s approval, walked directly towards Chen Beixuan’s house.
Song Qi, seeing strangers enter, couldn't help but loudly and warily ask, “Who are you?”
She seemed to want to alert the people upstairs that strangers had arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man quickly walked down from upstairs. This man was Chen Beixuan’s father, Chen Mingjun.
The Bodyguards were somewhat surprised, thinking: Very good, very vigilant.
“Excuse me, are you Chen Beixuan’s parents?”
The Chen couple, hearing this, exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
Chen Mingjun thought something had happened to his son in Jiangcheng, after all, the aura of these four people in front of him clearly indicated they were not ordinary people.
“We are. Who are you?”
The Bodyguards, seeing this, simply stated the situation.
“That’s the situation. Of course, if you don’t believe us, you can call your son now to confirm.”
Chen Mingjun, hearing this, first asked Song Qi to pour some water for the Bodyguards, then picked up his phone to contact his son.
If what the Bodyguards said was true, then they needed to be careful during this period.
Ten minutes later, after clarifying the matter, he hung up the phone and looked at the four people in front of him, finally letting down his guard.
The Bodyguards, seeing this, immediately asked, “Don’t you also have a daughter? Do you know where she is right now?”
Hearing them mention Chen Yanxi, Song Qi suddenly remembered that she had gone to the market and hadn’t returned after such a long time.
“Yanxi went to the market. Speaking of which, why hasn’t that girl come back after so long?”
Hearing this, Chen Mingjun’s heart immediately sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Normally, he might not have thought much of it, but with what was happening now, he couldn’t help but think of the worst-case scenario.
He quickly picked up his phone to contact her.
But the sound from the phone made his expression change.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later!”
The four Bodyguards, seeing this, immediately looked grim. Phone switched off while going to the market?
Clearly, something had happened!
Song Qi was the first to panic, “Switched off? How is that possible? Is her phone out of battery?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mingjun immediately dismissed that possibility, saying in a deep voice, “Impossible. Before she left, I saw her phone charging.”
“You stay home, I’ll go out with them to look.”
With that, he quickly lifted his foot and walked out. The four Bodyguards, seeing this, hurriedly followed him out.
Getting into Chen Mingjun’s somewhat dilapidated Wuling Hongguang, the five drove along the road to the market.
Chen Mingjun, in the driver’s seat, was sweating profusely from anxiety, silently hoping he was overthinking things.
His son and daughter were both the apples of his eye. If something happened to either of them, he didn’t know how he would spend the rest of his life.
Due to his excessive haste, he accidentally crashed into a BMW, completely smashing one of its taillights.
The Bodyguard in the passenger seat, seeing this, quickly comforted him, “Uncle, don’t worry. Your son helped our boss a great deal. No matter what happens, our boss will do everything he can to help you. You take the other three and continue searching, I’ll stay here to handle this.”
The BMW in front was suddenly hit, and the driver’s face darkened, his anger surging.
He had only gotten this car less than a week ago, the tires hadn’t even warmed up, and it was already hit.
He pulled the car over to the side, full of anger, and got out of the driver’s seat, just about to curse at Chen Mingjun’s Wuling Hongguang.
The next second, in his eyes, he saw a burly man get out of the passenger seat.
Seeing this, the words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
“Uncle, time is urgent, hurry up and go. He can handle things here, nothing will happen.”
The Bodyguard in the back seat of the Wuling Hongguang, seeing that Chen Mingjun hadn’t reacted, quickly reminded him.
Hearing the Bodyguard’s voice, Chen Mingjun finally came to his senses and quickly stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.
The BMW owner, seeing this, was angry but dared not speak.
“Let’s settle this privately. Is two hundred thousand enough to compensate you?”
The man, hearing this, didn’t expect someone driving a Wuling Hongguang to be so generous, and couldn’t help but smile and nod repeatedly, “Enough, enough, Big Brother. Why don’t you hit the other one too?”
However, the Bodyguard stared at him intently.
Seeing the Bodyguard’s gaze, the man gave an awkward smile and waved his hand, “Haha, just kidding, just kidding.”
“Give me your bank account, I’ll transfer the money to you now. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”
The man, hearing this, dared not hesitate and gave his bank account.
He couldn’t help but grumble in his heart: You really can’t judge a book by its cover. Are people so low-key these days?
