Overlord, he insists on raising me

"...It's just that his face is paler, his complexion is not very good, and his walking is a bit strange." Lao Kai reported to the hotel one by one.

Duan Qifeng's heart sank, he knew why Kang Yan was like this, he was rational at first that night, but at the end the child cried out in pain, and said poorly that his uncle didn't want him anymore, but he became even more insane for some reason.

"Didn't you call a doctor?"

Lao Kai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xiao Liu told me that the doctor invited him, but Kang Yan didn't want to see it."

Duan Qifeng became even more cold, so Lao Kai stopped talking, thinking what was going on.

"Back to the villa."

The villa was still the same, and it was a bit sluggish in winter. The housekeeper came forward to pick up the clothes, Duan Qifeng waved his hand, stood in the living room and looked up at the second floor. It was obviously quiet as before, but now the quiet has become deserted.

Duan Qifeng went up to the second floor, and opened the door of the second bedroom. The inside was tidy. For a moment, Duan Qifeng felt that the child was going to school and would be back in a few days.But when he saw the bare wall, there was originally a child's favorite oil painting hanging there.

He knew the child would not come back.

It takes more than ten hours to fly from Beijing to London, England.For the past dozen hours, Duan Qifeng went back to the villa as usual, just like usual, except that when Kang Yan's flight arrived, Duan Qifeng's expression was slightly gentler, and he made a call with his mobile phone.

The phone you are calling is turned off.

Duan Qifeng's expression remained unchanged, and he dialed again after waiting for about half an hour.The voice on the phone was as cold as ever.

"Check if Yanyan's flight is delayed?" Duan Qifeng ordered the housekeeper.

After a while, the butler said, "Sir, the flight showed that it arrived on time half an hour ago."

Duan Qifeng frowned when he heard this, stared at his cell phone, asked the housekeeper for the cell phone, and dialed the number with a sullen face.

the number you have call is unavailable.

The kid didn't block his phone.Duan Qifeng was inexplicably relieved, but then he was worried, the flight has arrived, did something happen to the child?

Duan Qifeng contacted the British side again, and the response he got was that the other party had been waiting for Mr. Xiaokang, but he hadn't seen Mr. Xiaokang. He checked the flight and Mr. Xiaokang didn't get on the plane...

Didn't get on the plane.

"Let Lao Kai come over." Duan Qifeng ordered, remembering something, and said: "There is Xiaoliu."

The two arrived shortly after, and Duan Qifeng asked, "Did you personally send Yan Yan to the plane yesterday?"

"No." Lao Kai noticed that the boss's expression was wrong, and he knew that something had happened, so he explained the situation of sending him off to the airport yesterday.Duan Qifeng glanced at Xiaoliu. Xiaoliu had never seen such a cold and unpopular Duan Qifeng, and hurriedly said: "Kangkang talked with me outside, but he didn't enter the gate, and he didn't let me go through the luggage check-in procedures. That's fine, I feel like something's wrong—"

Duan Qifeng interrupted coldly: "Tell the truth."

Lao Kai also stared at Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu's scalp was numb, and he said sorry to Kang Yan in his heart, and said truthfully, "Kang Kang has gone to L City."

In the living room, Lao Kai breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he knew where to go, Xiao Liu was too courageous, who was their boss forgot?Xiao Liu can't help it, he is a boss and a friend at the same time, especially when Kang Kang is harmed by his blind idea, Xiao Liu blames himself, so when Kang Yan asks him for help, Xiao Liu chooses to stand by Kang Yan without hesitation .

Now being seen by the boss, Xiao Liu is a little scared, but he doesn't regret it but is worried about Kang Yan.In the state before Kangkang left, he wouldn't do something stupid, right?

Not only Xiao Liu thought of this, Duan Qifeng also thought of it, and directly asked the housekeeper to arrange a private jet to go to L City.

When the housekeeper made arrangements, the landline in the living room rang.After Duan Qifeng picked it up, he didn't know who hit it, and Xiao Liu saw that the boss's face was getting darker and darker. He was a little worried that something happened to Kangkang, right?In the end, when the phone hung up, the boss didn't say anything, and Xiao Liu didn't dare to ask, and kept on following Lao Kai.

Xiao Liu didn't know what was going on until they went out.

Kang Yan hired someone to send all his luggage back, but the little brother who delivered the goods couldn't come in, so he was on the phone outside in fear.The housekeeper arranged for someone to pick him up, and now the little brother drove a van and parked it in the yard of the villa, unloading nervously and restrainedly.

Duan Qifeng looked at the luggage all over the floor, and the chill on his body became more and more intense.

The little brother was so frightened that he took out the list and stammered: "Hi, hello, all six boxes have been delivered, and is there a Mr. Duan Qifeng here? Mr. Kang has a letter for him... "The voice is getting lower and lower.

"I am." Duan Qifeng saw that no one was moving, and said coldly: "Believe it."

"Oh, letter." The little brother quickly took out the letter and handed it over.

Duan Qifeng accepted the letter and asked the housekeeper to send him out.When the little brother drove away, he was still thinking, today is really an eye-opener, there are still such affluent places in Beijing, and some of them will blow it when they go back.

It was already dark.

The plane took off to L city.

Lao Kai and Xiao Liu sat in the back row. Xiao Liu secretly glanced at the boss, and then read the letter again. He didn't know what Kang Kang wrote. The boss had already read it on the way here, and now he read it again.

Duan Qifeng in the front row was holding the letter paper, rubbing the words on it with his fingers.

I am sorry.

Arrived in L City overnight, did not stay in a hotel, got off the plane and went directly to the village.

Every household in the countryside in winter goes to bed early, the roads in the village have already been repaired, and there are street lights on both sides. Although it is still quite dim, it is much better than the darkness before.

Xiao Liu's car shuttled through the village, and stopped in front of a tile-roofed house on the first floor of a small farmyard.

Before Lao Kai could open the door, Duan Qifeng came down first.The wooden gate of the yard was locked, and Xiao Liu saw it and ran over and said, "Boss, I can unlock it."

Xiao Liu fiddled with the lock, opened it in twos and threes, and pushed open the wooden door to let the boss go in.After a while, the lights of the neighbor's house turned on, and someone stood in the yard with clothes on and shouted in dialect, "Who is it? Who's there?"

After a while, I saw an old man in his 60s and a young man come out, his face was full of guard. When he saw Lao Kai, the guard disappeared. The old man said cheerfully, "It's Mr. Duan. I thought it was a thief."

"The road in our village was completely repaired two months ago. I haven't had a chance to thank Mr. Duan yet. Why did you come here today? Kang Yan just left—"

"Has Yanyan come back?" Duan Qifeng interrupted and asked.

The old man nodded, and said in broken Mandarin: "I came back yesterday. I went back to the mountain to see his grandparents. This child is filial. No matter how good his life is, he will come back and have a look. He stayed on the mountain for a long time. When he comes down, he will be very happy." It was dark, and the face was pale as if sick, everyone wanted to talk at first, but in the end they didn't say to go back to rest first, so they stayed in the house for one night, and left before dawn in the morning."

Duan Qifeng listened patiently, and when he heard that the child had left again, he asked, "Did he tell where Yanyan went?"

"No." The old man came to his senses and said in surprise, "What's wrong? Didn't Kang Yan go back to Beijing? Did you two quarrel? Kang Yan is really, how old is she and she still plays childish temper. He has no father or mother since he was a child. You Take it easy, this kid doesn't live at home, where can he go if he runs away?"

The old man babbled about old things, and the son next to him saw Duan Qifeng's expression and knew that something was wrong, so he quickly persuaded his father to stop talking.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't be angry with Yanyan." At this moment, Duan Qifeng only worried about the child.

The old man nodded, sighed and said, "This child has had a hard life since he was a child, and he managed to live a good life. I didn't expect that you will soon find the child. I don't know how much hardship I will suffer outside alone."

"Dad, let's not bother Mr. Duan anymore." The young man supported his father, and said with a smile: "My dad is getting old and has been nagging a bit, Mr. Duan, you should do your work first."

Duan Qifeng was not in the mood to greet people politely, so he nodded.The neighbor father and son went back to the house, and could vaguely hear the old man rambling about Kang Yan, this child has a stubborn temper, why would he run away, and he didn't know if he was cold or hungry outside...

"Boss, Kang Yan is not here, do you want to go back to the city?" Lao Kai asked.

Duan Qifeng didn't answer, and walked into the yard.The gate of the tile house is a password fingerprint lock. When Duan Qifeng opened the lock, he remembered that when he set it up, the child took his hand and asked him to record fingerprints first. The password was also the addition of their birthdays.

111326, November [-]th and February [-]th.

Open the door, the orange light is on.

Duan Qifeng stood in the house, the room was tidy and tidy, but carefully looked for traces of the child's life.At this moment, Duan Qifeng seems to have returned to last night. The child bumped into the village alone. He must have cried red-eyed when he went to the grave on the mountain. He returned to the yard exhausted and lonely. This curled up and slept through the night.

Must be very scared, maybe secretly crying.

How could uncle lose him, don't want him.

"...No, don't want Yanyan." Duan Qifeng looked at the clean bed, as if looking at a child who was curled up and sleeping with tears in his eyes last night, and said in a low voice, "Uncle shouldn't be angry with you."

It may be too late.

This morning Kang Yan left, and no one in the village knew where Kang Yan had gone.Kang Yan's cell phone was always turned off, and Duan Qifeng returned to the city relying on means, and finally saw Kang Yan get on a bus going to the city on the surveillance, but where she got off the bus was not photographed.

Rural roads are long, and it is common to monitor blind spots.

"...Boss, I asked the conductor, and he said he had an impression of Kang Yan, because she looks like a celebrity because of her temperament, and said that Kang Yan got off the bus at Nanjiao Village." Lao Kai was a little embarrassed when he said this, shaking his head and said : "The station road in Nanjiao Village, there is no monitoring for four kilometers before and after, and there is an intersection. The traffic is coming and going, and it is impossible to find out where Kang Yan went last time."

Kang Yan seemed to have disappeared from this world.

Xiao Liu regretted it in his heart, hung his head, and wanted to say something to the boss, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

He had never seen the boss like this before, it wasn't furious or angry, it seemed regretful and sad, he couldn't understand it, he just felt that the boss looked too sad.Xiao Liu feels like crying, Kangkang, come back soon, the boss cannot leave you, he loves you.

……

Four months later, Yuncheng.

Yuncheng is surrounded by mountains on one side, there are rivers flowing through the city, and the climate is mild. As a quasi-first-tier city, the economy is developing rapidly, and the city has a profound historical and cultural heritage. It is suitable for living or starting a business.

In June, there are already some shadows of hot summer.

However, it is much cooler near the south. It is close to the mountains and there is water. The wind is blowing slowly, so it is not hot.A year ago, the government designated a piece of land here and built a block with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere. There are various shops with exquisite craftsmanship, such as handmade ceramics, embroidery, silk, bookstores, handicrafts, etc., intending to do publicity to attract foreign tourists and tourists. Local tourists have turned this remote place in the southern suburbs into a place of tourism and art.

It has not been two months since it opened, and the flow of people here has gradually increased, and it has become one of the Internet celebrity neighborhoods in Yuncheng, and there are street performers singing at night.

There is a two-story building decorated in an industrial style in the central street of the block. From the outside, it looks like red bricks. There is a wooden signboard with two words engraved in black paint - painting workshop.

At 11:30 noon, a camera was set up at the door, and the reporter was introducing the workshop to the camera, which attracted many tourists to stop.

It turned out to be an exhibition hall, oh, it opened today, the deputy mayor please cut the ribbon?

The spectators stopped and discussed privately. They heard that today's tickets are free of charge, as long as they have an ID card, they can enter, but the flow is limited.Some people want to go in if they are not in a hurry to see the excitement, hang around outside, and wait for the opening of the ribbon-cutting ceremony before going in.

After a while, a black car stopped by, and the camera was aimed at the door.The security maintained order and cleared the way. Everyone stretched their necks to look at the car. The rear door opened, and a blond foreigner got out first.

Oh, so there are foreigners. Someone interrupted that foreigners are the masters of oil painting. No wonder the deputy mayor will also come.

Others said they didn't know what to draw.Some people laughed and said that they would know after a while.Some people laughed and said that this foreigner is also bald. Could it be British?

The cameraman couldn't help laughing when he heard that, today the station sent over to interview and knew that there was a young young painter.The cameraman glanced at the sparse head of the foreigner, wanting to say that the name is too exaggerated, what kind of cutting-edge young painter?No matter how you look at it, this foreigner must be forty, right?

The reporter had done his homework and knew that the foreigner in front of him was surnamed Bert. He was the agent of a young painter, and he was a very powerful promoter. Opening, the artist's paintings are the main works.

It's just that she is relatively low-key. She hasn't seen the photos yet, so she can't help but look at them curiously.

"Kang, please slow down." Bert spoke Chinese, but not very authentic.

The reporter only heard a young male voice in the car: "Thank you, don't be so careful, I'm fine." Lu was surprised.

It's just a side profile, this cutting-edge young painter is also too good-looking.

It doesn't look like a painter, but rather like that little fresh meat and little milk dog who hasn't debuted yet.The reporter sighed in his heart.
