Return to the Road of God

Ian arrived at Ke Jing's house according to the address Ye Yufan provided, but was in vain. He rang the doorbell for a long time but no one answered. It was the phone call with his brother on the way that gave Ian a new idea.

Back at the hospital, Ian told Ye Yufan the truth.

The 24-hour medical care made the hospitalization fee ridiculously expensive. Ye Yufan's injury was not life-threatening, and his fainting was also caused by an attack on the back of the neck. In this case, most hospitals would not recommend the patient to be hospitalized.

Ye Yufan leaned on the hospital bed blankly, not knowing what to do, even if he found Ke Jing, it would be inconvenient to go and disturb him, thinking of Ke Jing's brother-in-law, he frowned again.

"Since your friend is away, are you interested in staying with me for a while?" Ian suggested, "The doctor said that if you wake up, you can be discharged tonight, but your injuries will definitely need a period of rest."

"Here," Ye Yufan and Ian met for the first time. Although the other party was his savior, the proposal was a bit sudden, "...would it be too much trouble for you?"

"Don't worry, my house is big, but I live alone, and I'm usually very busy, and I may not be here often, but there is a maid named Sara who can take care of your daily life, and the environment there is quiet and suitable for health care."

Ye Yufan was even more embarrassed when he heard that he said he was very busy, but he had delayed the other party for a whole day: "Mr. Ian, I..."

"Don't rush to refuse, think about your current situation, if you try to be brave again, you will find yourself guilty." Ian mentioned at the right time.

Ye Yufan was startled, lowered his eyes, his mind was spinning rapidly...

I always feel a little strange, why is a stranger treating me so well?Not only did he rescue him, but he also put forward various favorable conditions to help him without any desire or demand... just because he is Chinese?

Just now Ye Yufan asked Ian to find Ke Jing. In fact, Ian could also leave a note for the other party, write down the contact number, and wait for the other party to contact him, but Ian didn't, and instead enthusiastically took over the matter.

Ye Yufan can't be blamed for being suspicious, what happened today completely shocked him, the person who beat him came from an unknown source, not only Tang Zhen's admirers were suspected, but others were also suspected, because he carried all the secrets of SA Fale and Xia Xiaochuan...

"I also know a few Chinese friends who live at 43 Old Ham Street." Ye Yufan looked at Ian, "There is a man named Luster, who is the young master of the official family, Guan Hongze. He is also studying in Xili, do you know him? "

"Officials? I seem to have heard of it..." Ian couldn't remember, and asked, "Who is he?"

Ye Yufan observed Ian's expression and asked, "Are you not familiar with the domestic art circle?"

Ian: "Well, I went to country F with my brother when I was nine years old."

Nine years old, 15 years ago?

"Your brother is an art lover, so is he familiar with the domestic art world?" Ye Yufan blinked, pretending to be innocent and curious.

"It's okay, I heard him say something when I was very young, but he doesn't like the domestic art atmosphere very much..." Ian seemed to think of something, and asked, "Is the official family the art dealer of the Yun Group? ?”

Ye Yufan nodded, half envious and half admiring, "You went to Country F at such a young age, yet you can speak Chinese so well."

"Eh..." Ian's handsome face showed a hint of shyness, "I'm ashamed to say, I was very introverted when I was young, and I was only clinging to my brother, and I was even a little autistic until I was 14 years old. My brother couldn't stand it. I was sent to boarding school, and I began to really integrate into the environment of country F. Before that, I only spoke Chinese..."

Ye Yufan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and considered Ian's proposal.

Ian still hadn't forgotten Ye Yufan's topic, so he asked naturally: "You said just now that your friend lives on Old Ham Street? Do you want me to help you see it again?"

Ye Yufan was a little touched, it seemed that Ian was only eager to help because he was a compatriot.

He shook his head and said sincerely: "I want to bother you from left to right. I'd better go to your house to disturb you for two days. When I feel better, I will find a place to live by myself."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes," Ian stood up and said, "I'll go through the discharge procedures for you."

Ye Yufan: "Well, please leave a receipt for me, and I will return the medical expenses to you in full."

"Okay." Ian smiled and didn't say anything this time.

-

On the wide and desolate roadside, several people stared at the blood on the ground, their expressions were ugly.

"I hope it's not him..." Ke Jing murmured with a pale face.

Guan Hongze analyzed calmly: "Assuming it's really Ye Yufan, either there was a car accident here, or he was robbed."

Fu Tingxin frowned and said, "Will you be robbed in Xili in broad daylight?"

Ke Jing gave the man next to him a gouging look, and the man shirked his responsibility with a blank expression: "I asked to call a car for him this morning, but he refused."

Guan Hongze: "Let's go to the nearby police station and ask. If it's the former, the police will definitely come to deal with it after the incident."

An hour later, several people came out of the police station with gloomy faces. There was no record related to Ye Yufan...

Everyone went to Guan Hongze's house to discuss countermeasures. As soon as they got home, people gathered around to ask what was going on. Both Bai Qing and Tang Zhen were there, and the latter was especially frowning.

Guan Hongze relayed the situation, looked at his watch, and said, "If you report missing, you will have to wait another ten hours."

"Um, then wait a little longer," a young man came up and suggested, "Are you hungry? Let's eat first!" The person who spoke was Fang Yi, but no one responded to him.

In a foreign country, among the few Chinese people, a classmate friend whom I just met a few days ago is missing, who is still in the mood to eat?

Fang Yi sighed and pretended to be concerned: "This kind of thing will happen in Xili!"

The only strange man in the living room stared at him suddenly, and said coldly: "Nothing is impossible."

Fang Yi's whole body was trembling, and he had an inexplicable feeling of being seen through.He smiled awkwardly and asked, "This gentleman seems to be meeting you for the first time! What's your name?"

Guan Hongze introduced him: "This is Ke Jing's brother-in-law, Qiu Song, Mr. Qiu."

"Qiu Song?" Fang Yi's expression changed, and he called out, "Are you Director Qiu of the Maple Leaf Group?"

The man nodded, Fang Yi laughed loudly: "I have admired you for a long time, I said why are you so familiar, last year my father took me to participate in the charity event in China, and I saw you there!"

"Hehe." Although Qiu Song was smiling, his eyes were still cold.

Fang Yi looked at Ke Jing: "Hey, Ke Jing, why didn't you say it earlier, we were very worried about you after your father's accident. We have been old classmates for several years, and if we have difficulties, we don't say hello and just hide in a silent voice." Get up... Fortunately, your brother-in-law is taking care of you!"

"Hmph." Ke Jing snorted coldly, making no effort to hide his disgust.

Qiu Song glanced at Ke Jing, and the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible arc.

"Let me tell you, you guys have also booked your flight tickets to return home the day after tomorrow. What if you can't find Ye Yufan?" Fu Tingxin asked suddenly.

Guan Hongze replied almost without thinking: "Reschedule."

Bai Qing shrugged: "Anyway, I'm going with Hongze."

Tang Zhen hurriedly said, "Well, I'll wait until Ye Yufan has found his whereabouts."

Fang Yi became anxious, looked at Tang Zhen and said, "That guy doesn't have a deep friendship with us, he hasn't seen us a few times in a year..." This time it was Guan Hongze who shut him up.

Guan Hongze looked at him angrily and said, "If something happens to Ye Yufan in Xili, I won't sit idly by."

Tang Zhen glanced at Fang Yi impatiently: "Why are you talking like that! If you find it troublesome, go back first!"

Fang Yi: "..."

Qiu Song took out the cigarette case from his pocket, flicked it lightly with his fingers: "Can I smoke?"

"Come here." Guan Hongze opened the glass door leading to the garden from the living room for him. Qiu Song walked over and gave Guan Hongze a look. smoke, followed out.

"What do you want to say?" Guan Hongze asked straight to the point.

Qiu Song took a puff of cigarette slowly and said, "That kid surnamed Fang probably has something wrong."

Guan Hongze: "What do you mean?"

Qiu Song: "He is deliberately diverting your attention."

Guan Hongze: "How do you know?"

Qiu Song lowered his eyes and chuckled: "I'm an outsider, and the bystanders are clear."

Guan Hongze frowned: "...does he know Ye Yufan's whereabouts?"

Qiu Song: "I don't know about that."

"Could it be..." Guan Hongze suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed.

The young man turned around and extinguished the cigarette on the stone platform, leaving behind a sentence: "Mr. Qiu, thank you." The cigarette burned for a third of the time, and he never took a puff from the beginning to the end.

"You're welcome." Qiu Song watched him leave with a faint smile, thinking, the official family has cultivated an excellent successor...

-

"This is it." The villa Ian rented was in the northern suburb of Xili, surrounded by trees, it was really quiet.

Because part of his body could not move yet, Ye Yufan was carried out of the car by Ian. Ian put the boy gently on the wheelchair rented from the hospital, and pushed him towards the door. A young blonde maid came to open the door. Originally smiling, when he saw the person in the wheelchair, he exclaimed, "God, what's going on!"

Ian explained to Sara with a smile, and entrusted Ye Yufan to her: "I will trouble you to take care of him in these two days."

Sara assured, "This is my duty, sir."

After Ye Yufan settled down, Ian went to the car and dragged his suitcase out: "This big guy also looks like it has a lot of scars, isn't there anything fragile inside?"

Ye Yufan's expression froze, and he struggled to remember: "There's a guitar inside!"

Ian comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you open... the password?"

Ye Yufan: "0920."

Ian: "September [-], your birthday?"

Ye Yufan: "Hmm..."

With a click, the lock was unlocked, and Ian saw that the guitar case obliquely took up most of the space in the suitcase, with some close-fitting clothes and small gift bags crowded around, "Can you play the guitar?"

Ye Yufan: "Give it to a friend."

"The one who called during the day?" Ian smiled: "Hehe, I don't remember any of the other people's phone numbers, but he knows everything by heart. You two have a good relationship." Before the other party could say anything, he opened the guitar case, " Gibson! It’s a good brand, it should cost a lot of money, right?”

"It's okay..." Ye Yufan's ears turned red, and his voice subconsciously lowered a lot, "Do you know the piano?"

Ian lightly plucked the strings, and a series of pleasant piano sounds sounded in the room instantly: "I have learned it for several years!"
