involuntary [entertainment circle]

When Ling Heng heard Xiao Xia on the other end of the phone anxiously and frightenedly tell the news of his mother's disappearance, his brain almost went blank instantly.

What do you mean... missing?

Ling Heng found himself somewhat unable to understand this simple Chinese sentence.

Ling Heng has no time to care about these messy things with Yin Nuo for the time being, he put away his phone wallet key, and quickly walked out the door.

Seeing this, Yin Nuo quickly followed.

Ling Heng soon found that Yin Nuo had been following behind him silently, but he didn't say much, and he was acquiescing to the other party's actions.

After the two entered the elevator, Ling Heng's pale face looked even paler under the bright lights, and the entire small space seemed to be filled with a dull low pressure, oppressing people's nerves.

Yin Nuo looked at Ling Heng's frowning brows, and wanted to comfort Ling Heng, but didn't know what to say. Finally, after thinking for a while, he simply said, "Don't worry, Auntie will be fine."

Hearing this, Ling Heng gave Yin Nuo a complicated look, but didn't speak.Without any hope, he took out his mobile phone and called his mother. Sure enough, as he expected, the cold female voice of the system reminded her that the phone had been shut down.So Ling Heng stopped doing these useless efforts, and just wanted to rush to the hospital as soon as possible, so as to understand the specific situation of the matter.

Ling Heng drove very fast, but due to the long distance, it took the two of them a lot of time to reach the hospital safely.After getting off the car, as soon as they walked to the inpatient department building, Ling Heng saw his mother's special nurse greeted him anxiously.

"Mr. Ling, have you contacted Ms. Qi?"

"No," Ling Heng shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Xia, tell me first, what's going on with my mother?"

Xiaoxia followed Ling Heng, and said as she walked: "I went to check Ms. Qi's physical condition as usual this morning, but unexpectedly found that she was not staying in the ward. I was a little puzzled at the time, but I didn't think much about it. Thought she was just out for a walk."

"Later I also asked Sister Fang at the nurse's station, and she said that she did see Ms. Qi go out for a walk alone in the morning, but she never came back." Xiaoxia pondered for a moment, and added, "Ms. Qi usually likes to go for a walk. , and alone, no one is allowed to accompany him."

Speaking of this, Xiaoxia paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then continued: "I don't know what's going on today, I haven't seen her come back after waiting for a long time, no one answered the call at first, but later It's turned off."

"At this time, I also noticed that something was wrong. I searched around the hospital and found no one, so I quickly called you." Xiao Xia carefully observed Ling Heng's expression while describing the situation at that time.When she saw Ling Heng's face getting darker and darker, she couldn't help trembling in her heart.After all, she is Ling's mother's special nurse. If Ling's mother really disappeared in the hospital and Ling Heng pursued her, the hospital and her would have nothing to do with her personally.

After listening to Xiao Xia's explanation, Ling Heng was indeed a little angry. He really wanted to ask why the other party, as a nurse, didn't take good care of his patients.But after thinking about it for a while, Ling Heng still decided to give up. The most urgent task right now is to find his own mother, and save the other bad debts to settle later.

At this time, several people also walked to the ward where Ling's mother had been staying for a while, and the furnishings in the room were no different from what Ling Heng saw last time when he came here.

Ling Heng walked to the chair next to the hospital bed and stopped, and touched the back of the chair in a daze. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "Did you send someone to look outside the hospital?"

"Sent, we searched around the hospital before you came, but we didn't see Ms. Qi. And I asked the security at the gate, and they said they didn't see Ms. Qi leaving the hospital."

"Then besides the sister Fang you mentioned, did anyone else see my mother later?"

Xiao Xia slowly shook her head, "No, Sister Fang was the last person to see your mother, around seven o'clock in the morning."

After hearing Xiao Xia's answer, Ling Heng was not surprised at all, but his heart inevitably became a little heavier.

In fact, everyone knew very well that Ling's mother was such a big person, and the hospital only had such a large area, so it was impossible for her to get lost. If she was discharged from the hospital, she would not just leave without saying a word. ...I'm afraid it's probably an accident.

But no one wants to say the last sentence first.

Xiao Xia's eyes followed Ling Heng all the time. After struggling for a long time, she suggested in a low voice: "Should I call the police..."

"The missing time is not enough, and it is useless to call the police." After hearing Xiao Xia's proposal, Yin Nuo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.Then he thought about it, then turned his head and comforted Ling Heng in a gentle voice: "Don't think too much, maybe Auntie just went back to the city for something, and it just so happened that the phone ran out of battery."

However, the hypothesis put forward by Yin Nuo is not even convincing to himself. There are surveillance cameras and security guards at all exits of the hospital. If Mother Ling really left the hospital, how could no one find out?

Hearing Yin Nuo's clumsy comforting words, Ling Heng didn't have any superfluous reactions. He strode towards the door and said indifferently, "I'll check the surveillance."

Yin Nuo followed with a blank expression, "I'll be with you."

After the two arrived in the monitoring room, they first chose to check the monitoring at the hospital gate. However, they had just watched for about ten minutes, but they hadn't found any clues before they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Ling Heng heard the reputation and found out that it was Xiao Xia who brought them two boxed lunches.Xiao Xia put the boxed lunch on the table, and at the same time persuaded softly: "You rushed over in a hurry after receiving the call, you probably haven't had lunch yet? Why don't you eat something first."

Hearing what Xiaoxia said, Ling Heng realized that he was indeed a little hungry.Moreover, Ling Heng hadn't paid attention to the time before, and just glanced at his phone, he suddenly realized that it was already afternoon.

After speaking, Ling Heng took out a lunch box, pulled out disposable chopsticks and put them on it, and handed it to Yin Nuo habitually.It wasn't until Yin Nuo took it that Ling Heng suddenly realized, why did he habitually want to take care of the other party?

But soon Ling Heng persuaded and spurned himself: This is just basic etiquette, it's a big deal, why do you care about being hypocritical?

After the two began to eat, Xiao Xia still stood beside them and did not leave, her hands were twisted together uncomfortably, and at the same time she stared at Ling Heng intently, as if hesitating to speak.

After noticing Xiao Xia's eyes on Ling Heng, Yin Nuo was a little unhappy, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xia, and asked coldly: "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Xia faltered and replied: "The news came from the station master just now, saying that the hospital has been searched, and now it is basically confirmed that your mother is no longer in the hospital."

Hearing this, Yin Nuo pondered for a while, and then raised a relatively high possibility, "Auntie must have been taken away..."

It's just that Ling's mother disappeared without a trace. If she was really taken away by someone, I'm afraid the person who came was not kind.

In fact, Ling Heng had thought of this possibility before, but he really couldn't think of anyone else that his mother had offended. The only thing he could recall now was the people in the casino, but the usury had already been paid off, and the other party had no reason to continue. Kidnap your own mother.

Yin Nuo thought for a while and said, "There are too many surveillance cameras here. I'll find a few more people to help. Maybe I can find some clues." , "Can I?"

Hearing Yin Nuo talk to him so cautiously, Ling Heng's mood suddenly became a little complicated. After staring at the other party for a while, he calmly replied: "En, thank you."

After eating, the two continued to watch the surveillance video at the entrance of the hospital for a while.This place is a private hospital and it belongs to the suburbs, so the daily flow of people is not very large.However, the two of them stared at the screen for a long time, but they didn't see anything suspicious.

You let Yin Nuo watch the stock market quotes, he is very good at it, but you let him watch this kind of black and white surveillance screen, he only thinks that every pedestrian who comes in and goes out looks similar.

Fortunately, after a while, the people Yin Nuo called finally arrived at the hospital. There were quite a few people, five or six, and they seemed very professional and reliable.After Yin Nuo told one of them about the general situation, the other party immediately said that the matter was on their shoulders, so that Yin Nuo could go home and rest first, and would report immediately if there was any new situation.

After hearing what the other party said, Ling Heng didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore, since he couldn't help much anyway.Ling Heng wanted to leave, so Yin Nuo naturally wouldn't stay.

After the two returned to the car, Ling Heng remained expressionless. He said to Yin Nuo without emotion, "I'll take you back first."

"how about you?"

"I'll look elsewhere."

Yin Nuo was silent for a moment, then said lightly, "I'll be with you."

After a while, seeing that Ling Heng didn't reply, Yin Nuo said again: "Tell me a few places where my aunt might go, and I'll send someone to look for it, it will be faster."

At this time, it was almost time to get off work. Although it was less than twelve hours since Ling's mother disappeared, Ling Heng had a bad premonition in his heart that something happened to his mother.At present, Ling's mother's missing time has not yet met the conditions for filing a case, but the sooner the search operation is naturally carried out, the better.

After thinking for a while, Ling Heng reported a few place names.

Ling Heng said to take Yin Nuo home first, but he didn't ask where the other party was going, so he drove the car back to Yunzhong Jincheng.

When the car arrived in the urban area, unfortunately, it was in the rush hour, and the eight-lane main road was also blocked.It was already dark when the two arrived at Jincheng in the Clouds.However, after arriving at the finish line, Yin Nuo didn't get off the car immediately, but sat silently on the seat without saying a word.

Surprisingly, seeing Yin Nuolai staying in the car, Ling Heng didn't have any intention of urging him. He was lying on the steering wheel a little tiredly, looking forward motionlessly, his beautiful eyes seemed to lose focus. .

After a while, Yin Nuo said softly with a cold face: "Go back, if there is any news from Auntie, you can know it earlier."

Both of them knew that this was just an excuse, but after hearing this, Ling Heng pulled out the key without much hesitation, and at the same time dropped two words, "Let's go."

Yin Nuo didn't expect the other party to agree so readily. He was stunned for half a second, and after he realized it, he quickly followed up, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily raised a weak arc.

In fact, Ling Heng didn't expect that he would come back here so soon, he didn't even have time to check out the hotel room.But since he's back, let's live and watch. He already regarded this place as his home.

After returning home, Ling Heng first put away the half-packed luggage in the morning, then went to see what ingredients were still in the refrigerator, and prepared to make two simple dishes.

Of course, the contents of the refrigerator are the same as when he left. After all, Yin Nuo has never lit up the life skill of "cooking".

While cooking, Yin Nuo followed Ling Heng quietly, without saying a word, just watched Ling Heng cook, like a small pet waiting for its owner to feed.Originally, Ling Heng didn't say anything at first, but after Yin Nuo accidentally interrupted him a few times, he couldn't help but glared at him several times.

However, Yin Nuo pretended not to see Ling Heng's dissatisfied eyes, and asked without changing his face: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, you can rest outside."

After hearing this, Yin Nuo still didn't go out, but moved a few steps away from Ling Heng.

Seeing this, Ling Heng said helplessly and a little funny: "You don't have to stare at me, I don't know how to run."

Yin Nuo retorted blankly and solemnly: "I learn to cook."

Ling Heng: "..."

Ling Heng felt that he had made another wrong decision by choosing to come back, but it was too late now, so Yin Nuo had to go.

But this time Ling Heng guessed wrong on one point, Yin Nuo stared at him not because he was afraid that he would run away again, Yin Nuo just... simply wanted to stare at him.
