gentle reunion

After finishing the call, Tian Tian went to look for Kong Xichen, but she didn't see anyone, only Ali stood by the window and made a phone call.

Tian Tian went to look for someone else, but Kong Xichen was not found in the entire bathing center.

She beckoned to a waiter: "Xiao Zhang, have you seen my brother?"

When Kong Xichen came over, he was wearing a hat and a mask to prevent being recognized, so Tian Tian told the employees that this was her cousin.

"It seems to have gone to the back door."

"Oh."

Tian Tian went to the back door.

The front and back doors of her bathing center are two worlds. The front door is a wide and bustling road, next to the back door is a very inconspicuous concrete road, and on the other side of the road is an old residential building surrounded by walls.

She walked to the cement road, looked around at the front and rear ends, but didn't see Kong Xichen.

He took out his mobile phone and called Kong Xichen, but he couldn't get through.

She went back to find Ali, but the other party was still on the phone, business was really busy.

She thought about it and went to watch the monitor.

From the monitoring, Kong Xichen went to the back door about a quarter of an hour ago and never came back.

Tian Tian went to look for A Li again, this time regardless of whether she was on the phone or not, she interrupted directly: "A Li, please stop for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Ali looked at her and said to the phone: "Wait a minute."

Then ask: "What's wrong?"

Tian Tian: "Xiao Kong is gone. He didn't come back after going out the back door. I can't get through to his cell phone."

Kong Xichen was called away.

He received a call, and a man asked him: "You are Kong Xichen, do you know Xie Kaiyan?"

"He's my friend, who are you? Where is he?"

"Oh, you're his friend, that's easy. He's in a little trouble now... Shall we meet and talk?"

Kong Xichen: "What's the trouble?"

"A little trouble, he broke my SLR camera, it's very expensive..."

Kong Xichen immediately said: "I will compensate you for him."

"Great." The person opposite said, "Where are you, we're here to find you."

Kong Xichen told him the address.

After about 20 minutes, the other party said that it was coming soon.

Kong Xichen saw that Ali was on the phone, so he didn't bother her, but went out to meet people by himself.

When he got to the first floor, he realized that he forgot to wear a mask. He looked at the front door where people were coming and going, turned around and walked to the back door. At the same time, he also called the person and told him to go in the direction of the back door.

The other party came by car. A black business car was parked at the intersection of the cement road. A man in his 30s was waiting beside the car and said with a smile, "Mr. Kong? Let's talk in the car."

boarding?Kong Xichen hesitated: "Where is Xie Kaiyan?"

The man looked into the car with a smile: "Xie, classmate, your friend called you."

Kong Xichen leaned over to look into the car. At this moment, a pair of hands in the car suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled him into the car. At the same time, someone behind him pushed his back violently. He fell into the car, and the door was quickly closed. .

On the way to the bathing center, Xu Zan received a call from Tian Tian, ​​saying that Kong Xichen had run away.

Tian Tian was very anxious: "His mental state is not particularly stable yet, it's too dangerous to run out like this."

Xu Zan comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe he just went home?"

Tian Tian sighed: "That's fine."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zan called Boss Tan and asked him if he had seen Kong Xichen leave the bathing center.

Boss Tan went to ask his employees—he didn't keep an eye on Kong Xichen himself, but asked the employees to.

The employee said that he had been guarding the front door and did not see Kong Xichen leave.

Xu Zan was helpless, this Kong Xichen had many situations.

After arriving at the bathing center, Tian Tian told Xu Zan and Lan Tianran: "I haven't found him yet. Ali called his friends and no one knew where he was."

Xu Zan: "Before you said he had a friend who couldn't be contacted, can you get in touch now?"

Tian Tian shook her head, and said, "You know that friend of his. Last time we went to see Xichen in the hospital, the guy who was there seemed to be named Xie?"

Xu Zan glanced at Lan Tianran guiltily, he never told Lan Tianran about that incident.

Lan Tianran: "Thank you for your words?"

Xu Zan: "...Yes. He knew Kong Xichen."

Lan Tianran: "Now Xie Kaiyan and Kong Xichen can't get in touch?"

Tian Tian nodded: "Yes, did Xichen go to find Xiao Xie? Xiao Xie seems to be still in college? I'll ask Ali."

She walked away quickly.

Xu Zan held Lan Tianran's hand and wanted to explain the last time he went to the hospital to see Kong Xichen.

But Lan Tianran said first: "I remember Xie Kaiyan's friend's phone number, I'll call him and ask him."

Xu Zan: "...Why do you even remember this phone call?"

Lan Tianran: "I didn't remember it in particular, but I haven't forgotten it yet."

Xie Kaiyan had "disappeared" once, when Lan Tianran and Song Minmin found his friend Zhou Yongyi and found out Xie Kaiyan's whereabouts from him.

Lan Tianran called Zhou Yongyi.

Zhou Yongyi said: "He asked for leave to go home, and someone in the family was seriously ill."

"When did he ask for leave?"

"Last week."

"Is his number still the same as before? Why can't I get through?"

"He said that his mobile phone was broken and he hasn't bought a new one yet. Now he is using an old mobile phone with a very poor signal."

"okay, thank you."

Lan Tianran put down his phone and looked at Xu Zan: "It is said that he is on leave to go home, but the phone is broken because he cannot be contacted."

Xu Zan said: "It's a bit suspicious, but let's find Kong Xichen first."

Ali and Tiantian walked over quickly, and the two pairs of high heels tapped the ground quickly, like anxious drumbeats, which made people nervous.

"Do you want to call the police? It takes 24 hours for the police to accept an adult's disappearance, right?"

Xu Zan shook his head: "No, as long as you call the police, they will accept it."

"Oh..." Ali hesitated, and said to herself, "It's less than an hour now, maybe he'll be back in a while?"

Tian Tian didn't say anything, Kong Xichen was a celebrity after all, if she called the police, things might get serious and troublesome.

"I'll ask the community security if he has returned." Ali walked away with her mobile phone.

Tian Tian sighed.

Xu Zan said, "I'll ask someone to help me check."

He took out his mobile phone, called Xiang Xiang, and asked him to check Kong Xichen and Xie Kaiyan's mobile phones to see if they could be located.

While waiting for a reply, they went to the back door to have a look.

Tian Tian walked to the cement road, looked left and right, then turned to the right: "He should go out this way."

Go right for about 30 meters and you will reach a small road perpendicular to Qianmen Road.

There are residential buildings on both sides of the road, and various small shops on the first floor of the adjacent street.

Xu Zan looked at the few shops facing the cement road intersection, they were all small restaurants, and none of them had cameras installed.

Originally, I wanted to see if any store's camera had captured the scene of Kong Xichen walking out of the cement road.

But if people don't pretend, then there is no way.

After a while, Xiang Xiang called Xu Zan back, saying that he could not find the signals of Kong Xichen and Xie Kaiyan's mobile phones.

"Brother, are they missing?"

"Probably."

"what happened?"

"I don't know yet."

Later, Tian Tian persuaded Ali to call the police.

Xu Zan and Lan Tianran left before the police arrived.

Kong Xichen was bound by his wrists, blindfolded and gagged, and transported to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

He was pushed out of the car, and he heard the person who pushed him say: "Boss, people are here."

A male voice sounded somewhat arrogant and said, "Is this the Kong Xichen that Xu Zan's boyfriend was talking about?"

"Yes, boss."

Kong Xichen's head buzzed, Xu Zan?

The tape on his mouth was torn off, but the cloth on his eyes was not removed. He asked anxiously, "Who are you? What is your relationship with Xu Zan?"

The arrogant man asked, "What's your relationship with Xu Zan? Did he order you to murder Wang Ting?"

"What?" Kong Xichen shook his head vigorously, "No..."

There is chaos in his head, what's going on?

Are these people here for Xu Zan?

Is it the Wang family?

While thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, he was beaten, he bent down, and fell to the ground, his arms and buttocks hit the ground heavily, and there were bursts of sharp pain again.

Then he was kicked on the side, he shrank back, and then was kicked on the back...

After being beaten severely, he was told to speak well, otherwise he would be beaten.

Kong Xichen first refused to admit that he had drugged Wang Ting, but he would be beaten if he refused to admit it. At first, fists and leather shoes fell on him one after another. After he was beaten to death, those people found another An iron rod was drawn to his leg, and he heard his right calf click, which must have been broken.

He felt that he would die here, and he also wanted to die, because his body was in too much pain, and he was willing to die immediately in order not to hurt, so that the pain would not be there.

He let go, and said in a weak voice: "I, I said, I drugged Wang Ting."

"why?"

"He forced me. I was only 14 years old at the time, and I didn't understand anything. They gave me a game console, and I left with him..."

"You're going to kill him because of that?"

"I didn't, I wanted to kill him, but I didn't dare, I was scared, I just didn't save him, I had nightmares every day when he died, but I'm still glad he died..."

The person who asked the question said angrily: "Shut up, he's not dead yet!"

Kong Xichen laughed intermittently, trembling: "Hehehehe, vegetative people are similar to dead people, right? I think it's about the same..."

He was shot in the back and passed out.

After an unknown amount of time, he was shaken awake by someone who asked, "Didn't Xu Zan tell you to kill Wang Ting?"

"Xu Zan? Xu Zan..." Kong Xichen said dreamily, "Why didn't you help me...why didn't you help me..."

In a box of a restaurant, Xiang Qu and Zhao Hong are eating.

Xiang Xiang said while eating, "Old Zhao, it's really comfortable to eat with you. Your taste is exactly the same as mine."

Zhao Hong pushed his glasses, but said nothing.

What is exactly the same, he just knows that people in Yazhou eat relatively light, so he deliberately does not order heavy dishes, and when he eats with people, he will deliberately observe their tastes, so after a long time, he will know Xiang Xiang's diet Preference, the dishes he ordered are naturally Xiang Xiang's favorites.

Xiang Xiang sent out an invitation: "Let's go sit in the sky at night."

Zhao Hong: "Why?"

"nothing much."

"Ok."

After arriving at Mantianxing, Xiang Qu saw Zhou Yongyi, and remembering Xu Zan asking him to help find Xie Kaiyan during the day, he called out, "Xiao Yi!"

Zhou Yongyi trotted over quickly.

Xiang Xiang: "How is Xiaoyan recently?"

Zhou Yongyi: "He asked for leave and went home."

He said to Xiang Xiang what he said to Lan Tianran.

"Boss, do you have anything to do with him?"

"No, I just thought of him suddenly. Well, go get busy."

"Ok."

After Zhou Yongyi left, Zhao Hong said: "I hope Xie Kaiyan is not tricked into being an accomplice by Sun Zhezhi like last time."

Xiang Xiang: "Probably not, he's not that stupid, is he? If he dares to do it again, my brother really won't let it go."

"Young Master Xiang!" Someone called him.

Xiang Xiang and Zhao Hong looked over together, and saw a man wearing a black and white printed shirt, it was Lu Xianggao.

"Fat deer." Xiang Xiang said, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhao Hong: "Let's go."

Lu Xianggao was drinking with a small group of people. After Xiang Xiang and Zhao Hong passed by, everyone moved aside to make room for them.

Lu Xianggao moved closer to Xiang Xiang: "You know, Sun Zhe was arrested, and he was arrested in Yazhou."

"Really?" Xiang Xiang was surprised, "What's going on?"

Lu Xianggao smiled: "You still pretend!"

Xiang Xiang continued to pretend: "I really don't know, I have no holiday with him, but you, he invested for you and lost your money, are you very upset with him?"

"No holidays? Then why do you ask around about his past?"

"When did I ask around? Don't talk nonsense."

"On my birthday! How dare you say no?"

Zhao Hong said: "That time I was helping a friend of mine to find out that Dongfeng Capital wanted to invest in my friend's company. Inquire about his past affairs, but unfortunately did not inquire about anything in the end."

Lu Xianggao: "There's no need to inquire now, he's already been arrested! It's a pity for his beautiful secretary, that beautiful woman will probably lose her job."

Someone laughed and said, "What a pity, Mr. Lu, why don't you go to the hero to save the beauty?"

Lu Xianggao turned around, yes, he can go to the hero to save a beauty.
