The bar was a bit noisy. Chen Xing frowned and walked in the direction of the restroom. On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiaojing heard that Chen Xing didn't speak. She thought that Chen Xing still didn't believe her. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
Miss Lu, where did Huang Ming go at noon? Didn't he tell you? Chen Xing stood outside the restroom. It was a lot quieter here.
He went to socialize with the people from the bank at noon. Our hotel wants to borrow a few hundred million from the bank, so he invited the senior management of the bank to play. Lu Xiaojing explained and said, "His cell phone has never been turned off before. Even if it was because the battery ran out, he should have come back in the evening since he went to socialize at noon."
"Did you call the person from the bank who was with him at noon?" Chen Xing was very confused. Huang Ming wasn't a three-year-old child. This kind of thing shouldn't have happened.
"Yes, the person said that they left the club at noon."
"That's strange. Didn't Huang Ming tell you he was going somewhere else?"
"No. Even if he was going somewhere else, he wouldn't turn off his cell phone. He never did that before."
Listening to Lu Xiaojing's words, Chen Xing was also full of doubts. "How could a living person disappear? Was he kidnapped in broad daylight?" Chen Xing remembered that Huang Ming was kidnapped once when he just arrived in Nanzhou, but the situation was special. It shouldn't happen again.
"Miss Lu, did you offend anyone recently?" Chen Xing asked subconsciously.
"No, we are doing business honestly. How could we offend anyone?" Lu Xiaojing smiled bitterly. Now in the business circle of Nanzhou, most people knew that they were friends with Chen Xing. Few people would deliberately make things difficult for them.
"That's really strange." Chen Xing frowned and didn't know what to say. He could only comfort Lu Xiaojing with a few words. He didn't need to think to know that Lu Xiaojing must be calling the police directly to Lu Ming. Otherwise, Huang Ming couldn't be contacted for seven or eight hours from noon to now. The Public Security Bureau couldn't file a case. It didn't meet the conditions of a missing case.
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Ming told Lu Xiaojing not to worry too much and to contact Lu Ming if anything happens, then hung up.
Chen Xing stood there for a while with his phone in his hand. Soon, he walked back and stopped thinking about it. "Huang Ming might have gone to do something," Chen Xing thought. He didn't believe that an old man had really disappeared. As for kidnapping, the possibility was even smaller.
Chen Xing walked back to his original seat and sat down. When he looked at Li Yong again, he didn't see Li Yong's figure. Slightly stunned, he turned his head to look at Zou Yang, who was swaying to the music from time to time, and asked, "Yang, where is Li Yong?"
He had just left with that woman. Zou Yang said.
Let's go then. Hearing this, Chen Xing immediately stood up.
Uncle, you're leaving now? Zou Yang had just arrived and was obviously reluctant to leave.
"En, you can come again when you have time. We're leaving tonight." Chen Xing nodded. Afraid that Zou Yang would be addicted to the bar, he warned him, "Don't come to this kind of place too often. It's okay to come here once in a while to relax."
"Uncle, don't worry. I rarely come here now, only when I'm bored. Besides, I won't touch those messy things." Zou Yang smiled.
Chen Xing nodded and pulled Zou Yang away. When they reached the door, Chen Xing saw a car he couldn't be more familiar with drive by. It was his exclusive car. Usually, when he didn't have a car, it was Li Yong who drove it. It was obvious that Li Yong drove to the bar to have fun.
Looking at the car disappearing into the night, Chen Xing was expressionless. He had just seen a woman sitting in the front passenger seat of the car, and if he was not mistaken, it was the woman that Li Yong was hugging earlier.
"Uncle, Li Yong is driving your car to pick up girls. Is it private use of the public car?" Zou Yang leaned over to Chen Xing and said with a grin.
"The car is not my car. It belongs to the state." Chen Xing shook his head. Interrupted by Zou Yang, Chen Xing also withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go back." Chen Xing patted Zou Yang's shoulder.
After taking a taxi back to the hostel, Chen Xing asked Zou Yang to stay in the hostel for the night and went to take a shower. After coming out, he sat on the sofa and looked at the phone on the tea table. An idea came to Chen Xing's mind. He picked up the phone and called Li Yong.
Soon, the phone was connected. Chen Xing asked in a normal tone, "Xiao Li, what are you doing now?"
"Secretary, I just took a shower and am going to bed." On the other end of the phone, Li Yong didn't expect that Chen Xing would suddenly call him. He nervously made a shushing gesture to the woman next to him.
"Going to bed so early?" Chen Xing raised his hand and looked at the time. It was not yet half past nine.
"I haven't slept well recently, so I want to go to bed early to refresh myself. Otherwise, I will always be sleepy when driving." Li Yong said with a smile.
"It's good to go to bed early. It's good to wake up early." Chen Xing smiled. "Well, there's nothing else. Go to bed early."
After saying that, Chen Xing hung up the phone directly. Li Yong, who was left on the other end of the phone, was holding the phone in a daze. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with the leader tonight? Why did he suddenly call me like this?"
Li Yong was still confused and lost in thought. He didn't know how disappointed Chen Xing was at the other end of the phone when he hung up. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes last night, Chen Xing might not have believed that Li Yong would deceive him, nor would he have believed that Li Yong would become such a person. For a long time, his impression of Li Yong was still that naive, honest and simple big boy.
He sat alone in a daze. After a long time, Zou Yang sat down beside him, and Chen Xing came to his senses. Almost subconsciously, Chen Xing took out the phone and dialed Huang Jianghua's number.
After a while, Huang Jianghua picked up the phone.
"Xiao Huang, what are you doing?" Chen Xing repeated what he had said just now.
"Secretary, nothing much. I am in the dormitory. I have nothing to do and am reading to calm myself down." Huang Jianghua replied with a smile.
"Really? Reading is good for self-cultivation." Chen Xing nodded with a smile and opened his mouth. He had wanted to ask about the post on the Internet today, but at this moment, Chen Xing suddenly lost interest. If Huang Jianghua didn't tell the truth, what could he do?
"Secretary, what can I do for you?" Asked Huang Jianghua. He knew that Chen Xing wouldn't call him, his secretary, for nothing.
"Nothing, just a casual call." Chen Xing smiled slightly. "Go to bed early. I see that you and Li Yong are not in good spirits recently. You should take a good rest."
"Well, thank you for your concern, Secretary." Huang Jianghua said gratefully on the phone.
Without saying anything more, Chen Xing hung up the phone quickly, leaving Huang Jianghua, who was also as confused as Li Yong, in a daze.
It was a little strange that Chen Xing would call him for no reason. According to Huang Jianghua's understanding of Chen Xing, he wouldn't call him for no reason. At this moment, holding the phone, Huang Jianghua didn't look good. "Does the leader suspect me?"
"Brother Huang, who called? Secretary Chen?" Lin Siyu walked out of the bathroom. She had just washed her hair, and her black hair flowed over her shoulders. She was very beautiful.
"Well, it's him, but it feels a little strange." Huang Jianghua frowned. He was already in a bad mood, but this made him even more agitated. Huang Jianghua didn't know who made the posts on the Internet, but everything was to the point and true, which made Huang Jianghua frightened and angry. To be exact, the fear and fear in his heart had long surpassed anger, especially when his future father-in-law also called him in the afternoon. Although he found some excuses to deceive the other party, Huang Jianghua didn't know to what extent this matter would develop. If it continued to spread, not only would he lose his job as a secretary, but he would also have to go to the police station.
"Siyu, can we really not return the house?" Huang Jianghua turned to ask Lin Siyu.
"The boss of the real estate company didn't allow us to return the house. He said that there was no reason to take back the house that was given to us. I already said that we don't want it, but he still wouldn't let us return it." Lin Siyu said in a low voice, and her mood inexplicably became gloomy.
"Sigh, in fact, it doesn't matter whether we return it or not. I was too naive. Even if we return it, we can still check the records of the real estate company." Huang Jianghua smiled bitterly. Could he get through this hurdle?
The atmosphere was silent. Lin Siyu felt guilty towards Huang Jianghua. She wanted to tell Huang Jianghua the truth, but she couldn't say it. When she thought of Qian Xinlai's demonic smile, Lin Siyu was even more afraid.
The phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. Lin Siyu heard the ringtone and knew that it was her phone. When she walked over and picked it up, the moment she saw the number, Lin Siyu's pupils shrank. Speak of the devil, who else could it be but Qian Xinlai?
Glancing at Huang Jianghua, Lin Siyu hesitated whether to answer the phone or not.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Siyu finally hung up. She was afraid that Huang Jianghua would suspect her, so she didn't dare to answer Qian Xinlai's call at this time.
Siyu, who's calling? Why didn't she answer it? Huang Jianghua turned his head and looked at Lin Siyu.
"No, maybe it's a wrong number. I don't know that number, so I don't want to answer it." Lin Siyu shook her head. Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Lin Siyu looked in the direction of the door in confusion. Her two beautiful curved eyebrows knitted together, wondering why someone would come at this time. Besides, the duplex apartment that she and Huang Jianghua shared should be known by no one except a few people.
The doorbell kept ringing. Obviously, the person outside the door was persistent in pressing it. Lin Siyu and Huang Jianghua looked at each other and walked over in confusion.
