"What's going on? Are you in love too?"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaomei teasingly, with a teasing smile on her lips, and was playing with a pen that she had just picked up from the cash register.

The soft background music in the store and the relaxed conversation between the two people interweave to create a leisurely atmosphere. It is normal for them to fall in love at their age.

Xiaomei frowned slightly when she heard this, and her expression instantly became serious, "No, Xiaoxiao, didn't you notice that there are fewer people in our store?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned and the pen in her hand stopped unconsciously. She quickly scanned the store, trying to find something different, but for a moment she didn't notice anything unusual.

"Is there?" she murmured to herself, obviously having forgotten Fang Xiaohui.

Seeing this, Xiaomei shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand and gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, with a tone of blame and worry in her voice: "Xiaoxiao, you...are finished. There are only about ten people in our store, and it is usually as lively as a family. Xiaohui, Xiaohui, she hasn't come to work for two days. Moreover, she doesn't seem to have asked for leave, and her phone can't be reached. She doesn't reply to WeChat messages. It's really frustrating! You are the boss, but you didn't notice that she didn't come."

"Oh, I forgot, you weren't in the store these two days."

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a complicated look flashed across her eyes.

"Well, Xiaomei, Xiaohui won't be coming back anymore. She...has already resigned."

There was a hint of subtle complex emotions in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice. She tried her best to make her words sound objective. After all, it was not a glorious thing to talk about others behind their backs. She just said that she had resigned and didn't say anything else.

Xiaomei's eyes widened when she heard this, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Resigned? Why? Why didn't she tell me anything? Did her so-called uncle come again and forcibly take her away? I heard that her uncle wanted to marry her to an elderly rich man. How can this be possible! I have to call and ask clearly right away."

Xiaomei anxiously took out her phone and swiped her finger across the screen, trying to dial Xiaohui's number, but she only got a cold "unable to connect at the moment." Her brows were furrowed, and the worry in her eyes became more and more intense.

Xu Xiaoxiao saw it, but couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

She knew that the identities of Xiaohui's so-called "family members" were mostly fictitious, and the real Fang Xiaohui had probably already returned to the mysterious organization to which she belonged.

But she couldn't say these words to Xiaomei and could only keep them in her heart. Sometimes it is better to have less trouble than more.

"No, Xiaoxiao, I'm really worried. I decided to call the police. I can't let Xiaohui get hurt. Xiaoxiao, can you go to the police station with me? We have to take action as soon as possible. We can't let Xiaohui's uncle succeed. You know, he actually wants to marry Xiaohui to an old man in his seventies or eighties. This is simply too much!"

Xiaomei said anxiously, her eyes full of worry and anger.

Nan Weiwei overheard their conversation and interrupted impatiently, "Call the police? What police? She's gone, what does it have to do with us? It's so annoying, don't mention that name anymore!"

Nan Weiwei's tone revealed obvious displeasure. She was already in a bad mood, and mentioning Xiaohui at this time added fuel to the fire. This woman actually drugged Nan Yifeng and was ready to make the matter a fait accompli.

Xiaomei ignored Nan Weiwei's indifference and said firmly: "No, I absolutely cannot just stand by and watch. Xiaohui must have encountered some difficulties, otherwise she would never suddenly disappear. I must find a way to find her, otherwise she might be in dire straits."

Nan Weiwei looked at the stubborn girl in front of her and felt helpless, but at the same time she was moved by her sincerity.

So, Nan Weiwei asked softly, "Then how are you going to find her?"

Xiaomei's eyes flashed with determination. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to investigate the last place she appeared and see if I can find some clues. Maybe someone has seen her or knows where she went."

Sister Na frowned and said worriedly, "This is too dangerous, and it may not produce any results. Let's call the police first and let them handle this matter."

Xiaomei shook her head and said firmly: "No! Calling the police is too slow, I can't wait that long. Xiaohui may be in danger now, we must find her as soon as possible." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Sister Na hurriedly grabbed her arm and advised, "Xiaomei, don't be impulsive! It's too unsafe for you to go out and look for it alone. Can we think of other ways together?"

Xiaomei stopped and looked back at Nan Weiwei and Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then nodded, indicating that she was willing to follow Sister Na's advice.

As she spoke, a hint of determination flashed in Xiaomei's eyes, as if she had made up her mind to find Xiaohui and ensure her safety no matter what.

Nan Weiwei didn't want to hide it any longer. She took a deep breath, looked at Xiaomei firmly, and decided to confess everything:

"Xiaomei, I know you've always cared about Xiaohui, but there are some things you may not know, but... Xiaohui has indeed submitted her resignation report, and... she is not as simple as you think. She does have an uncle, but it's not like what she said. Her uncle did bully her every day before, but now her uncle doesn't dare to touch her easily. Do you want to know the reason?"

Xiao Hui frowned, looked at the other person in confusion, and shook her head gently: "I don't know? Why is it like this? Is there some factor or secret that we haven't noticed yet? Is she the kind of agent in the TV series? Or does he have an unknown past or identity background?"

Nan Weiwei looked at the innocent Xiaohui and shook her head. "The reason is that Xiaohui is not as ordinary as she seems. Now her uncle has to be cautious. So, don't worry that Xiaohui will be hurt. She is capable of protecting herself. I have been hiding these things from you out of respect for Xiaohui's privacy. Now that you have discovered the clues, I think I should explain to you that Xiaohui is a person of extraordinary status."

Xiao Mei's eyes widened, and she reached out to interrupt Nan Weiwei, touching her forehead at the same time: "Weiwei, I was talking nonsense too, you... look, what are you talking about? Do you have a fever?"

Nan Weiwei waved Xiaomei's hand away impatiently: "Go away, you are the one with a fever. Listen to me, Xiaohui, she was actually hired by Fu Yanchen to protect Xiaoxiao. She is a professional bodyguard, do you understand? Bodyguard! Who dares to do anything to her? Those stories about her life experience were all made up to deceive us."

"She left because Xiaoxiao and I already knew her true identity. She felt ashamed to see us again, so she left on her own initiative."

"Ah?" Xiaomei was so shocked that she almost jumped up. "How...how is this possible? Xiaohui...she has always been so gentle and kind, how could she be a bodyguard? And look at her, she doesn't look like one at all!"

Nan sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It's hard for me to believe it, but this is the truth. Fu Yanchen was worried about Xiaoxiao's safety, so he specially arranged for Xiaohui to protect her secretly. Xiaohui's so-called family and her past were all fabricated to make it easier for us to accept her."

Xiaomei stood there blankly, digesting this sudden information.

She recalled every moment she had spent with Xiaohui, and those warm memories were now shrouded in mystery. She didn't know how to accept this fact, let alone how to face Xiaohui's sudden departure.

"Then...then she should have told us. Why is she like this? Doesn't she consider us her friends?" Xiaomei murmured to herself, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

Nan Weiwei shook his head, indicating that he was helpless: "Forget it, don't think too much, but since Xiaohui has chosen to leave, let's respect her choice. She is not the same as us."

Xu Xiaoxiao listened silently, feeling mixed emotions. Seeing Xiaomei's distraught look, she couldn't help but feel sorry and sympathetic. She knew that this was too much of a blow for Xiaomei, who really regarded Xiaohui as a good friend.

"Xiaomei, don't be too sad." Xu Xiaoxiao comforted softly, "Maybe one day Xiaohui will come back and tell us everything. Now, we can only hope that she will be safe."

"This is the only way now." Xiaomei nodded a little disappointed.

At this time, Nan Weiwei's phone rang, and she picked up the phone, "Hello...what?"
