Qin Jiamiao was relieved when he heard this, "You guys should go back to Shicheng quickly. Don't let the police discover any clues. Ling Zheng has a friend who is quite cunning."

"Okay, don't worry, your mother and I have already left by car. We are taking the provincial road, so we won't be discovered."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jiamiao looked at the Qin family's flower-filled garden with ruthless eyes.

All this belongs to her, Ling Zheng, you'd better be reincarnated as soon as possible.

I hope you can choose a better family in your next life.

……

In the elegant and quiet western restaurant, the gorgeous crystal lamp reflects a dreamlike light.

Cheng Xi, who was sitting by the window, glanced around.

The restaurant business was very good tonight and all seats were packed.

Pei Yanzhou, who was sitting opposite her, opened a butterfly-shaped diamond necklace and said, "Happy holidays, baby, this is for you."

Cheng Xi's hand holding the glass paused slightly.

When she had dinner at Ling Zheng's house last time, she heard that Pei Yanzhou asked Lu Chongli to bring her a 520 gift from abroad. She said it was unnecessary at the time, but she didn't expect that he would prepare it anyway.

"What's our relationship?"

Cheng Xi put down the glass, took the necklace, and shook it gently. The beautiful diamonds were immediately wrapped around her fingers. She smiled like a delicate fox, "It's just a matter of spending money to meet a need, so why should I give you such a gift?" Expensive gift, you said you were grateful to Ben."

"This necklace is not expensive." Pei Yanzhou said with a smile.

"It's not expensive, but it's a real necklace. It has to cost tens of thousands of yuan."

Cheng Xi looked at the size of the diamond carefully and said, "How many nights do you have to serve to earn back the money for this necklace?"

While pouring her water, Pei Yanzhou said: "As long as you are happy, it will be worth it no matter how hard I work to make money. Can I put it on for you?"

Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Pei Yanzhou immediately stood up and put the necklace on her.

Cheng Xi didn't have the habit of wearing jewelry, and her neck was always clean. After putting on the necklace, the butterfly-shaped diamond necklace set off the delicate collarbone, which was extremely beautiful.

"The necklace suits you perfectly."

Pei Yanzhou resisted the idea of ​​bending down to kiss her and sat back down in his original position.

"Okay."

Cheng Xi lowered his head and glanced, "Did Lu Chongli bring this back from abroad for you? He has a good taste."

"No, I picked this in Su City." Pei Yanzhou retorted in a low voice, "Is it possible that only Lu Chongli has good taste and I don't have good taste? Would I like you if I didn't have good taste?"

"..."

Cheng Xi was depressed, how should she answer this.

If he had to say that he had bad taste, he would have to deny it himself.

But she didn't want to praise Pei Yanzhou.

So I lowered my head and started scrolling on my phone, and when I opened Douyin, I suddenly saw a video: [A certain beverage company in Suzhou went on a team-building hike. An employee disappeared on the mountain. The Suzhou Fire Brigade went up the mountain overnight to look for him. 】

Cheng Xi's heart suddenly trembled when she saw a familiar milk tea drink bottle flashing across the video. She remembered that the brand on it seemed to be from Lingzheng Company.

By the way, she seemed to remember Ling Zheng saying that the company team building was today Saturday.

It can't be such a coincidence.

"Cheng Xi, have a meal with me. Are you so boring? It makes you want to watch short videos."

Pei Yanzhou on the opposite side spoke depressedly.

Cheng Xi ignored him and immediately found Ling Zheng's phone and dialed it. The phone was turned off and could not be reached.

I tried calling Ling Zheng's WeChat video again, but still no one answered.

A panic gripped Cheng Xi tightly.

She stood up abruptly, "I'm not going to eat anymore. I just checked Douyin. Lingzheng Company was doing team building at Niangniang Mountain today, and an employee was missing. I just called Zheng, but I haven't been able to contact him."

Pei Yanzhou was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up, "Let me go with you. Niangniang Mountain is quite far away and it's not safe to drive at night."

Cheng Xi nodded.

Along the way, Pei Yanzhou saw her anxious look and comforted her: "Don't worry, Ling Zheng is very cautious, so nothing should happen to her. The accident probably happened to someone else. Ling Zheng couldn't answer the phone, so she should leave in the morning." Climbing a mountain, and now a colleague is missing, she must be staying there too, the phone may have run out of battery after being used for a day and taking pictures.”

Cheng Xi thought about this possibility.

When the car drove to Niangniang Mountain, it was already past eight o'clock at night.

At the foot of the usually peaceful mountain, there were several ambulances parked at the moment, and many reporters were also present at the scene.

When Cheng Xi got off the car and passed by, he happened to see Qi Haochu sitting exhausted in the makeshift shed, holding a mineral water bottle in his hand.

Many reporters were filming him. A middle-aged man stood in front of Qi Haochu and said, "Can you please stop filming? We, Mr. Qi, don't want to delay employees' rest during weekends. It's the company employees who want to solve the single problem on 520, so We just organized this team building. When the employees disappeared, we, Mr. Qi, were the first ones to look for them. In order to find someone, Mr. Qi ran up and down the mountain several times. Only now did he have the strength to drink water. When something like this happened, We Qi are more miserable than anyone else."

Cheng Xi looked around but couldn't find Ling Zheng, so he simply pulled over an employee and asked, "What's the name of your missing employee?"

"Ling Zheng."

After the other party uttered these two words, Cheng Xi felt like his brain was exploding.

"No, how could it be Ling Zheng."

Cheng Xi suddenly walked towards Qi Haochu as if losing her mind, and Qi Haochu's tall body was pulled up from the chair by her.

"Let me ask you, is it Ling Zheng who is missing?"

Cheng Xi stared at him sharply.

Qi Haochu also recognized her, with deep regret and guilt on his stern face, "I'm sorry..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xi slapped Qi Haochu in the face and cursed with red eyes: "You can't even guarantee the safety of your own employees. What kind of team building are you organizing? It's not enough to let employees act like cows and horses. You can't even guarantee the safety of your own employees." No one is allowed to rest on weekends. Let me ask you, why did Ling Zheng disappear? Has she been found now? Is she still alive?"

Qi Haochu pursed his thin lips, his handsome face pale.

An employee came up to stand in front of Qi Haochu, "Are you a family member of Ling Zheng? Don't accuse me unfairly. It was Ling Zheng who insisted on rushing in front alone. Our company employees wanted to follow her, but she was unwilling. Everyone is here When we gathered on the mountain, even before everyone arrived, Mr. Qi was already concerned about Ling Zheng, and none of us knew why she suddenly disappeared. Maybe she walked on an unsafe mountain road and got trapped."

"Cheng Xi, calm down."

Pei Yanzhou also supported Cheng Xi, "Swearing now won't solve the problem. Let's first understand the whole thing clearly, such as where Ling Zheng disappeared, who was the last person to see her, and the current progress of the fire brigade. , I figured it out, I will definitely find a way to find someone to come over and look for Ling Zheng together. The weather on the mountain is cold and there are poisonous tongue worms, so we must find the person tonight."
