After hanging up the phone, Zhan Xiaocheng's expression remained calm.

"Meimei, I have something urgent to go out, so you and Huaizhou will wait for me here, and I will pick you up when I get off work."

When Jiang Yunmei looked up, she saw a hint of worry and anxiety hidden under the calm in Zhan Xiaocheng.

It must be extremely urgent to make him show such an expression.

"Okay, I see, you are busy with your work."

Zhan Xiaocheng walked up to her, leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"Be obedient, don't go anywhere, just wait for me in my office."

Originally Jiang Yunmei wanted to say that she and Yun Huaizhou drove home by themselves, but seeing Zhan Xiaocheng's slightly pleading eyes, she nodded silently.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here, and pick me up earlier when you finish your business."

Watching Zhan Xiaocheng leave, Jiang Yunmei covered her thumping heart, feeling a little flustered.

Obviously the years are quiet and everything is perfect, but for some reason, her heart is beating wildly, and she always feels that something big is about to happen.

When Yun Huaizhou came in, he saw Jiang Yunmei was restless.

"Miss Jiang, what's the matter with you?"

Jiang Yunmei raised her head to look at Yun Huaizhou, smiled, and said, "I just feel... a little weird, Huaizhou, do you think my days have been too smooth recently?"

Hearing this, Yun Huaizhou was taken aback.

"Isn't it good to go smoothly? You have suffered so much grievances before, and God probably can't stand it anymore. That's why you are living better now."

Jiang Yunmei leaned on the sofa, stroking her rising and falling belly.

The two little guys in her belly were extra active today, and the way they punched and kicked made her belly a little tight.

Outside the CEO's office, Zhan Xiaocheng ordered Wen Ning in a cold voice.

"You don't do anything today, just stay here, no matter who it is, you are not allowed to let in, you know?"

Wen Ning understood what the CEO meant. The company's surname is Zhan, so there are naturally Zhan Liancheng's confidantes in it. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't make trouble while the CEO is away. After all, the woman sitting there is the woman the CEO cares about most.

"Yes, I know."

Wen Ning answered with a nod, with a solemn expression.

Zhan Xiaocheng looked back at the direction of the office again, and then strode away, heading straight for the Zhan family's old house.

I hope this is just a misunderstanding, and I hope grandma is just going out temporarily.

Zhan Xiaocheng drove back to the Zhan family's old house, but the house was calmer than he imagined.

The servants were sweeping the floor and sprinkling water. It was peaceful and peaceful. Where was the sense of urgency that the old lady was missing?
As soon as he entered the west courtyard, Rong Hua had already rushed over, tears streaming down his face.

"Second Young Master!"

Seeing Ronghua's posture, Zhan Xiaocheng frowned.

"Where's grandma?"

When Wen Mingyue was mentioned, Ronghua's tears fell even more fiercely.

"I woke up this morning to help the old lady get up and wash up as usual, but when I opened the door, there was no sign of the old lady in the room."

Ronghua stopped crying, and said: "At first I thought she was going for a walk in the yard, but I searched the whole old house, and I didn't see anyone from the old lady!"

"Second young master, the old lady is not like this on weekdays. She reads the scriptures for a while after getting up, and then goes out for a walk after drinking water and breakfast. She definitely won't go out before dawn. I'm worried, she Something went wrong."

Hearing Ronghua's words, Zhan Xiaocheng asked coldly: "Did you tell the South Court?"

The South Courtyard refers to Ren Qing. After all, in name, this old Zhan family house is still in charge of Ren Qing.

"I've said it, I said it early in the morning, but she, she didn't believe it, and said that I was made out of nothing, and that the old lady is a living person, so how can I get lost?"

Ronghua choked up and said, "It's okay for others not to know the old lady's habits, but I know best. I searched inside and out all morning but to no avail. That's why I can only look for you."

Zhan Xiaocheng looked around, and saw that there was no sign of a fight in the house, and the doors and windows were intact, and it didn't look like they had been pried.

"I see, my father's side, have you notified?"

"I've said it, I've said it, he lives far away, and he's probably still on his way back now."

Ronghua turned around in a hurry, his tone of voice trembling.

Without saying a word, Zhan Xiaocheng walked directly to the south courtyard where Ren Qing lived. As soon as he entered the arched door with hanging flowers, he saw Ren Qing standing under the eaves playing with birds.

"Hey, this is a rare guest, why did President Zhan come to my place?"

Ren Qing smiled when he saw Zhan Xiaocheng, his voice was indifferent.

"Do you know about grandma's disappearance?"

Zhan Xiaocheng stood in the middle of the courtyard, his voice was cold and his expression was dark.

"Missing? Isn't it just that the old lady went out for a walk by herself? It's not the first time she's here, and she doesn't suffer from dementia, so why is she missing? Wait, maybe she'll be back by lunch."

Ren said calmly, without worry or anxiety at all, as if Wen Mingyue's disappearance had nothing to do with him.

"You don't want me to find the old lady, do you? Zhan Xiaocheng, do you think I have a good relationship with your grandma? She hasn't respected me, and I naturally don't respect her. You know this very well!"

Zhan Xiaocheng and Ren Qing looked at each other, obviously they were the closest mother and son, but they were alienated like strangers, no, like enemies.

"I don't intend to ask you to find grandma, I just came to tell you that the disappearance of my grandma has nothing to do with you, Ren Qing, you know the consequences!"

Zhan Xiaocheng didn't call his mother anymore, but called Ren Qing's name directly.

Hearing this warning, Ren Qing's face suddenly changed.

"What do you mean? You mean I killed your grandma?"

Zhan Xiaocheng turned and walked out, with a gloomy voice: "I also hope that you have nothing to do with this matter, otherwise, this Zhan family and this Beicheng will not be able to tolerate you!"

After all, Zhan Xiaocheng went straight to the monitoring room of the old house.

But when he proposed to adjust the surveillance video from last night to this morning, the security guard looked embarrassed.

"It's broken, the monitoring system was broken a few days ago, and it's being repaired these days, no, it hasn't been fixed yet!"

As if afraid that Zhan Xiaocheng would not believe it, the security captain pointed to the screen, which was all black.

broken?Is it really such a coincidence that it broke down at this juncture?
"Let all the security guards on duty last night come over, I have something to ask."

Zhan Xiaocheng swept across the security captain's face, his voice was indifferent, but it made people feel scared.

For a moment, five or six security guards stood under the steps, waiting for Zhan Xiaocheng's inquiry.

"From last night to this morning, has anyone seen the old lady go out?"

Zhan Xiaocheng asked straight to the point.

"No."

"I didn't see it."

……

The security guards answered in unison, no.

No?Did a living person just disappear out of thin air?Moreover, this person has lived in this old house for many years!

If she went out, it still made sense, and it might be that the old lady wanted to do something on the spur of the moment.

But now, no one sees the old lady going out, but she evaporates in this house. Isn't this an accident?
Thinking of this, Zhan Xiaocheng suddenly thought of Liu Xiaoxiao from Xikuayuan, could this woman be related to grandma's disappearance!
