"Yeah." In Xu Tian's situation, it's useless to go to Mr. Tang, it's better to let him recover from his illness.

The sudden disappearance of the Patriarch of the Tang family caused the entire family to fall into an unprecedented panic. Some people even maliciously speculated that Tang Bingyan was dead, and the Tang family would soon be in chaos.

As for the high-ranking members of the Tang family, who were originally active, they were very active in making small moves in the dark. Fortunately, before Mr. Tang fell down, he forcefully asked all those who knew the news to block the news, otherwise the Tang family would have been torn apart by now.

But blocking the news is not a long-term solution. If Tang Bingyan's whereabouts can't be found, the Tang family will still face a situation of falling apart.

Right now, the Tang family seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there is a dark tide, as if it is the tranquility before the storm, but they don't know who will break this tranquility.

It is impossible for Tang Bingyan not to know that her departure will have a huge impact on the Tang family, so Xu Tian is not sure about her previous judgment.

Could it be that a strong external force really intervened to take Tang Bingyan away?

"Mr. Xu, I still have a lot of things to deal with here, so I'll go first. Don't worry too much. If there is any news, I will call you immediately." Ah Wei comforted Xu Tian a few words, and then Hastily left.

Xu Tian stood in the living room for a while, then went upstairs to Tang Bingyan's study.

He doesn't have any clues now, and he can only hope to find some clues in her study.

Tang Bingyan's study was in a mess, the antique cabinet was empty, and there were broken pieces of porcelain on the floor that hadn't been cleaned up in time, probably because she didn't allow servants to come in and clean it up.

Xu Tian glanced at the furnishings on the desk, and first noticed the phone in the corner. The receiver of the phone was hanging on the side, but it didn't ring. It was probably because Tang Bingyan broke the phone when she lost her temper.

In fact, the frequency of mobile phone use is so high now that no one would use a landline phone, but I don't know why Tang Bingyan keeps this phone in her study.

Xu Tian stepped forward and picked up the dangling earpiece and listened to it, but it really couldn't be used.

However, although the phone was broken, the display screen was still on. Xu Tian glanced at the incoming call notification and found an unfamiliar number that had called many times.

In fact, this phone is rarely used at ordinary times, and it is only used by the servants in the villa when they encounter urgent matters and need to ask Tang Bingyan for instructions, so even if there is a caller ID, it will only display the number inside the villa.

But Xu Tian had never seen this number before, and the components didn't look like domestic number segments.

The time of the last call also happened to be before Tang Bingyan lost contact.

Xu Tian took out his mobile phone and tried to dial this number but couldn't get through.

He immediately called Yan Qingxue again.

"What's wrong?" Yan Qingxue was processing the contract at the company.

"Can you check a number for me?" Xu Tian reported the string of numbers straight to the point.

"What is this?" Yan Qingxue frowned, "It's not from China, and it doesn't seem to be from around the Asia-Pacific region. Where did you know this number?"

Xu Tian: "Check it out for me."

"Wait." Yan Qingxue clasped the phone between her ears and her shoulders, typing on the keyboard skillfully.

When she worked for that scumbag Xu Rixin before, she had mastered the search skills proficiently. In addition, she had minored in related majors in college because of her interest. It was not a problem for her to check a phone number.

Xu Tian felt restless when he heard the "crackling" keyboard tapping sound.

"Ah..." After a while, Yan Qingxue exclaimed.

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Xu Tian asked.

"I can't find it. It's not a phone number at all. It can't match the number range of any country, and it's not a deliberately encrypted number." Yan Qingxue concluded, "In short, it's just a string of strange numbers."

"Not the phone number?" Xu Tian was shocked.

How can this be?

This number called Tang Bingyan several times, and Tang Bingyan answered every time.

But she never took the initiative to broadcast this number, it seems that the owner of this string of numbers has been unilaterally contacting her.

With Tang Bingyan's strong personality, it is impossible to endure one-sided contact, but she did not take the initiative to contact the other party once.

"Xu Tian, ​​did you remember wrongly? Yan Qingxue's voice sounded again, "If you add another digit, maybe you can get through. "

"That's right, this must be a phone number, if you have time, keep looking it up for me."

"Okay then, I'll try again."

Putting down his phone, Xu Tian walked around Tang Bingyan's study again.

He always felt that this number might be related to Tang Bingyan's disappearance, but now he didn't have a clearer clue.

So he planned to continue looking for clues in the study.

There were documents of the Tang Corporation in the drawer, most of which were contracts and financial statements. Xu Tian roughly searched through them, but found no useful clues.

After checking the desk, the person who found nothing walked to the bookcase again.

Originally, he thought that the bookcase was not affected by Tang Bingyan's anger, but when he got closer, he realized that the books on it had been shuffled, and some of them were upside down, as if they had been stuffed in hastily.

Xu Tian's eyes skipped over these books one by one, and he took out the books that he thought were questionable, flipped through them, but still found no useful clues.

Just as he was about to put the book in his hand back into the bookcase, he suddenly found a corner of the cowhide file bag exposed inside the bookcase.

It was only then that Xu Tian discovered that there was a gap between the book and the wall panel inside the book, and this gap was large enough to accommodate an A4-sized portfolio.

He hastily removed all the books that were blocking his eyes, and reached out to take out the file bag inside.

This is an ordinary portfolio, but there is an "x" marked with a red marker in the upper left corner.

Xu Tian couldn't wait to open the file bag, only to find that there was only a piece of paper inside, and the number on the piece of paper was the number he found just now.

Now Xu Tian can be sure that this series of numbers is very important to Tang Bingyan, but what makes him even more troublesome is that there is only one series of numbers, and it is completely impossible for him to find out the reason for Tang Bingyan's disappearance.

Because he discovered the secret of the bookcase, Xu Tian simply moved out all the books on it.

When the bookcase was being emptied, he was surprised to find that there was a groove on the inside of the bottom wall panel, and a rectangular box with a lock was placed inside the groove.

Xu Tian bent down to take out the box, tried two sets of codes that Tang Bingyan might use, but failed to open the lock.

There must be something important in this box, otherwise it would not be locked inside the bookcase with a combination lock.

And every time the password lock is entered incorrectly, there will be a time to be locked.

Xu Tian tried three times, and the locked time has been as long as two hours.
