The Day Before the Storm
Though Song Ruyu had just arrived in Ningbo, she had only listened to Chang Baji's retelling of what had happened. She had not been to the scene, but she had analyzed everything clearly and logically. Chang Baji, Zhu Qingwen, and Gongsun, who were involved in the case, were stunned. They could not help but admire her.
The onlookers saw the game more clearly than the players.
However, it seemed that Song Ruyu was also involved in the game. How could she be so calm?
Zhu Qingwen could only think that Song Ruyu was too strong-willed. Ordinary people might have broken down after the incident, but Song Ruyu was able to restrain all her emotions and face the matter calmly. She was even able to find the logic behind it.
It was not only because Song Ruyu had grown up in such an environment, but also because of her working environment. Not to mention the pressure of work, she had to be calm and strong enough to deal with all kinds of big shots.
Chang Baji also admired Song Ruyu very much. He had analyzed the possibility, but did not dare to make a judgment at all. Maybe his identity was different from Song Ruyu's, or maybe he had not figured out the logic behind it. However, Song Ruyu was able to analyze it in such a short time. How could Chang Baji not admire her?
As for Gongsun, he just listened quietly and did not say anything. He thought that Song Ruyu was more suitable than anyone else to be the future hostess of the Qin Family. She was like Qin Sheng's mother, who had a strong heart and confidence under her weak appearance. If Qin Sheng's mother had still been alive, the Qin Family would not have been in such a situation.
"I will discuss this with your uncle and uncle. At least it is not the right time yet. We should try our best to find Qin Sheng first." Although Zhu Qingwen was surprised, she did not say it too directly. Some things were not so simple.
Song Ruyu, of course, understood what he meant. She said in a low voice, "Small Aunt, I understand."
All the people present were smart, so they did not have to say it out loud. At this time, Gongsun said, "Girl, it is useless for me to stay here. I will go back to Beijing first."
Why would Gongsun go back to Beijing?
Putting aside the fact that the matters in Shenzhen and Dalian were not over yet, if they were to take action, the Qin family would definitely take action as well. At least in the business field, the Qin family was considered to be somewhat capable.
Gongsun took the initiative to ask Song Ruyu. Obviously, he had already regarded Song Ruyu as the mistress of the Qin family. Zhao Anzhi didn't have so much energy, and Qin Ran was exhausted. Song Ruyu stepped forward. With her identity and background, she would definitely become the pillar of the Qin family.
However, what Gongsun was most worried about was that everyone had guessed wrong. If something really happened to Qin Sheng, what would Song Ruyu do in the future?
Her identity as the fiancée of the Qin Family would be a little awkward. By then, the Qin Family would not be able to have such a mistress.
Song Ruyu said calmly, "Uncle Gongsun, thank you for your hard work."
Since Gongsun had asked, Song Ruyu didn't refuse. She subconsciously regarded herself as a member of the Qin family.
Gongsun nodded silently. He packed up his things and was ready to go back to Beijing with Nangong. No matter how many people stayed here, it would be useless. Moreover, Chang Baji and Zhuang Zhou, the two tycoons, would be safe.
After talking about these things, Zhu Qingwen went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. She was mainly responsible for communicating with the authorities. The tycoons of the provincial and municipal departments only recognized her. Chang Baji went to meet Hao Lei and the others. It was useless for them to stay in the hotel. It was better to continue looking for Qin Sheng.
At this time, Song Ruyu walked into the bedroom, only to see Qin Ran sitting on the bed in a daze. She was still a little depressed.
Song Ruyu walked over slowly and comforted her. "Sister Ran Ran, are you angry?"
Qin Ran shook her head and said, "No, why would I be angry?"
Having been in the system for so long, Song Ruyu could know what the leaders were thinking even if they looked at each other. She had deliberately arranged for Qin Ran just now. How could Qin Ran not be angry?
After sitting down, Song Ruyu held Qin Ran's hand and said in a low voice, "Sister, you are too tired. Have a good rest. I will take care of the rest."
Qin Ran was not so stingy. She just said, "As long as I can find Qin Sheng, I don't care how tired I am. Otherwise, how can I explain to Grandma, Old Man, and Mom? It took me a lot of effort to find him. How could I lose him again? "
As she spoke, Qin Ran's eyes turned red again. These days, whenever she mentioned Qin Sheng, she couldn't help crying.
Song Ruyu held Qin Ran in her arms and said, "Sister Ran Ran, believe me. Qin Sheng will be fine."
"You don't have to comfort me. Even if it's the worst result, I can accept it. Maybe this is his fate. He's destined to have a hard life," Qin Ran said, holding back her tears. Could she really accept the worst result?
Obviously, she could not.
Song Ruyu said sincerely, "Sister, even if Qin Sheng is really gone, you will always be my sister. The Qin Family is also my family."
Hearing Song Ruyu's words, Qin Ran was very moved, whether Song Ruyu really thought so or just comforted her. However, if Qin Sheng was gone, would Song Ruyu stay single for the rest of her life?
Obviously, she wouldn't.
Even if Song Ruyu thought so, would the Song Family be willing? Neither would the Qin Family.
"I'm sorry that you've been wronged," Qin Ran said from the bottom of her heart. There were too many meanings in her words.
Song Ruyu didn't say anything. She just held Qin Ran in her arms and patted her shoulder gently.
Everyone hoped that Qin Sheng would be fine. Of course, she was the same. However, everyone was afraid that something would really happen.
One day.
Two days.
Three days …
A week passed by quickly.
In Ningbo, after such a great effort, they still couldn't find Qin Sheng, not even a trace. Everyone was a little surprised. Where on earth had Qin Sheng gone?
They wanted to see him, dead or alive.
However, they didn't see him or his body.
What the hell was going on?
Everyone was a little disappointed. The longer they waited, the worse their mood became. However, they had to accept the fact.
However, something gave them hope again. The autopsy reports of the seven corpses came out.
Most of them had died from fatal knife wounds. These knife wounds also showed that they had fought fiercely before they died. However, the cause of death of two of the corpses was strange, especially the old man who died last. He had died from many vital acupoints on his body being killed by a foreign object.
At the same time, it was found that the two corpses had inhaled poisonous gas.
This clue completely verified Chang Baji and Song Ruyu's speculation. That was, apart from the two parties involved, there were other unknown people. It was highly possible that these suspicious people had rescued Qin Sheng or killed Qin Sheng. However, how powerful was Lao Gui? Who could kill Lao Gui?
This was another doubtful point.
These clues were all confidential, and naturally, they would not be announced to the public. Only a small number of people knew about them.
In the end, after a discussion, the Zhu Family finally decided to stop the large-scale search. They only let the regular search in Zhejiang continue. If there were other clues, they would make further plans.
As a result, the Qin Family had to leave Ningbo. Only two or three people stayed in Ningbo to cooperate with the police.
On the day they left Ningbo, no one said anything.
No one knew whether it was good or bad that they didn't find Qin Sheng. If they didn't find Qin Sheng, it meant that Qin Sheng might still be alive. This was the so-called good result. If they found Qin Sheng's corpse, all hope would be shattered.
The bad result was that they didn't know whether the unknown people were friends or enemies. If they were friends, Qin Sheng would come back sooner or later. If they were enemies, it would be an unsolved case.
Although the search for Qin Sheng temporarily came to an end, the real storm seemed to have just begun. However, this time, Qin Sheng couldn't participate in it.
During the period of searching for Qin Sheng, except for the big movements in Ningbo, the other places seemed to be very calm. It was so quiet that people felt a little strange. Everyone knew that this was the sign before the storm.
Qin Sheng had such a big accident and disappeared completely. No one knew whether he was alive or not.
How could the Qin Family let it go?
What about the Zhu Family and the Song Family?
Song Ruyu went back to Beijing with Qin Ran and the others. Zhu Qingwen went back to Shanghai first and then went to Beijing. This time, her husband, Zhu Changshun, went with her.
Beijing.
During this week, Zhu Weiguo didn't leave Beijing, which was rare. He went to the hospital to visit the old lady and the Old Master of the Song Family.
Sanya, Hainan.
Qin Changxing knew everything that had happened in Ningbo, but he didn't take any action. Old Master He couldn't figure out what Qin Changxing was thinking. After all, it was the only son of the Qin Family who had been in trouble.
After all the Qin Family left Beijing.
One day, Qin Changxing finally made a call …
