The stars are the scars of the night sky, and the moon is just a surgical lamp.

Sitting in the yard until early morning, Xia Chen washed his face.

Then he called Lin Cheng.

……

18 The house leaks when it rains─

stayed up all night.

Lin Cheng, who didn't sleep, looked at the group photo on the coffee table in the empty home.

The originally beautiful eyes are now covered with bloodshot eyes, and it can be seen that Lin Cheng's mental state is really worrying.

She hadn't remembered such a tired moment for a long time.

The source of exhaustion is not a long stay up late, nor is it the stress of work.

It's an outright panic.

On the coffee table is a family portrait from when they were young.

At that time, my mother was still alive, and my father was still very young. At that time, the young me could even be held in my father's arms.

Facing the photo, smiling.

After a long time, his mother passed away due to illness, and his father reborn as the manager of Lin's enterprise.

He became a key person who would shake the whole Naoe when he coughed.

Everything seemed to be going well, but just 24 hours ago, his father disappeared.

Disappeared without warning.

Because of this incident, the executives who knew the inside story were panicked.

Not letting more people know about this matter now, because if it is fully announced, everyone will know how big the impact will be.

It's not just the whole company's problem, but it will also greatly affect the brand of Lin's enterprise.

However, Lin Cheng, who temporarily had a less absolute right to speak in the company, chose to call the police. The police were investigating the matter, but 24 hours had passed without any progress.

It's not even clear if it's kidnapping or something else.

Because no one called to ask for a ransom, even if they called, at least they knew what happened to Lin Xiasong and his father.

Lin Cheng didn't even know where the direction was, and her work was put down. Lin's company, which seemed to be still operating normally, was now experiencing huge turmoil.

It seems that with Lin Xiasong's sudden disappearance, too many squeezed troubles, and events waiting to be dealt with slowly, were all pushed on the table for a while.

Now Lin Cheng doesn't even want to go to the company.

Lin Cheng, who was leaning on the sofa, really felt the importance of her father at this time.

He has always existed like a protective umbrella, protecting himself from wind and rain, and even making a living for the tens of thousands of employees in this enterprise.

He is the best captain of this huge ship, and now, the captain disappeared, the wind and waves filled the air, and everyone could smell the crisis.

Suddenly the phone rang, and Lin Cheng glanced at the phone, but it was the boy he didn't expect.

Perhaps because the pressure in her heart needed to be released, she connected the phone.

"Hey."

With a tired voice.

The other party only asked one sentence.

"Are you in trouble now?"

Lin Cheng thought for a while, and felt that she really couldn't hide anything from him, so she just nodded and answered.

"That's right..."

"Well, didn't you sleep?"

"No…."

"have you eaten?"

"nor.…."

"Okay, open the door for me later."

"Ah...? Are you coming over?"

Lin Cheng didn't get an answer, so the other party hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly domineering and direct at this time.

The young girl didn't have any chance to refuse or ask... About 10 minutes later, the doorbell at the door of Lin Cheng's room rang.

And Lin Cheng hadn't fallen asleep yet, even though she was very tired.

She immediately came to the door, and through the camera at the door, she clearly saw Xia Chen coming with a few plastic bags. He looked at the camera calmly, and even waved his hands mischievously.

This gesture made Lin Cheng want to laugh. Although he was depressed, it was undeniable that the appearance of this boy would always bring inexplicable stability and relaxation.

Lin Cheng opened the door.

Xia Chen walked into the room quite naturally.

Looking at himself, Xia Chen smiled.

"Why did you become so haggard all night, you go to sit on the sofa first, I will cook for you, and you take a rest."

Lin Cheng didn't ask too many questions about why the other party suddenly cared about her so much. In her opinion, Xia Chen must not be that simple. He might have learned some clues from other channels.

The girl just nodded not easily.

"There's always going to be some trouble. ... Life doesn't always make it easy for us."

"Okay, go sit down."

Xia Chen didn't waste a lot of time chatting and comforting, he didn't like to do such meaningless things.

Cooking is very easy, and the sound from the kitchen really made Lin Cheng feel a kind of stability similar to home.

Just listening to it, she felt her mood calm down a lot.

Soon, Xia Chen came out with the food and put it on the coffee table in front of Lin Cheng, and even brought the rice bowl and chopsticks very considerately.

But there is only one bowl and one pair of chopsticks.

Lin Cheng looked at Xia Chen in surprise.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Xia Chen shook her head.

"I've eaten it, you can eat it, look at you, go to bed after eating, don't you know that staying up late will make you old?"

Lin Cheng rolled her eyes angrily, how could she say things like getting old in front of a girl?

The dishes are still delicious as always, and Xia Chen seems to have considered something, they are all appetizers, even if he is not in the mood to eat, but once he eats, he can't help but can't stop

.

The charm of food probably lies in this.

While Lin Cheng was eating, Xia Chen watched quietly, and when she was almost done eating, Xia Chen opened her mouth slowly.

"Now tell me what happened?"

Lin Cheng originally thought that Xia Chen was here to take care of herself, but she didn't expect to actually ask about her troubles now.

He hesitated.

"Do you really want to listen?"

Xia Chen nodded, her attitude was very obvious.

Lin Cheng thought about it, but she didn't choose to hide it, either because she was really tired, or because the current situation seemed to be irresistible by herself.

The mood of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor is probably the current self.

"My father disappeared. He disappeared the day before. It has been more than 24 hours. No one knows his whereabouts now."

It was not too unexpected for Xia Chen, after all, the family photo placed beside the coffee table can explain a lot of things.

"Did you call the police?"

Lin Cheng nodded.

"The police were called, and the nearby surveillance was deployed, but the surveillance showed that after he entered the company's underground parking lot after get off work, he had no whereabouts, and the car did not even leave the parking lot. And that

Some cars leaving the parking lot are being investigated one by one, and there are no clues so far.It is even suspected that a supernatural person may have committed the crime. "

Xia Chen thought about it.

"It's not kidnapping or something?"

"It shouldn't be...Actually, we haven't figured it out yet, and no kidnappers have called. Now everything seems abnormal."

Xia Chen nodded.

"Okay, you can't solve these things now, why don't you take a nap and rest, adjust your state and deal with it later."

Xia Chen's calm words contained a reassuring magic power.

Indeed, what the other party said is also true, and things won't change in any way if you stay here.

Lin Cheng nodded.

"Okay... I'm going to take a rest."

Just as Lin Cheng was about to put down her chopsticks, her phone rang.

There was no taboo in front of Xia Chen, she connected the phone.

But it didn't take long for Lin Cheng's brows to wrinkle tightly.

"What? There are more than 100 people here? What salary, why did they come to our company without salary to quarrel? Okay... okay, I see, I will deal with it soon."

Lin Cheng sighed.

Putting down the phone, he even stroked his long hair anxiously.

He looked at Xia Chen helplessly.

"Now it's a leaky house and it's raining continuously."

……

19 Nothing is impossible──

After speaking, the woman stood up, and she seemed to be about to change clothes sloppily before going out, as if she didn't even care about her makeup.

Seeing the other party's gesture, Xia Chen said calmly.

"Sit down and take your time."

This was something Xia Chen had never said to herself. Lin Cheng looked at the other party in surprise, and at the same time was a little puzzled.

"Tell me what it is first."

Xia Chen never seemed to care about these things. Today's attitude is indeed a bit strange, but Lin Cheng did not make random guesses or panic. After all, no matter how much he can't guess this man, Lin Cheng does

Believe that the other party will not harm yourself.

This is a kind of trust that comes naturally even if you don't know each other well.
