"We can't contact Lu Mingfei. His mobile phone is turned off."
I don't know how many times I tried to dial the phone to no avail. Su Xiaoqiang, who was sitting on the edge of the light fountain, frowned slightly and looked up at the already lit street lights.
It was already very late now, and the rows of street lights between the high-rise buildings were shining with a warm yellow light. Occasionally, vehicles would pass by on the road next to the fountain, and the sound of tires rolling over the road could be heard in the distance.
There was only the sound of water rustling in the park, and the green and blue light followed the ups and downs of the fountain water column, quietly illuminating the surrounding green plants and gardens hidden in the darkness.
"Shut down? Did something happen?" Wei Lewa stood by the fountain with her hands folded. Next to her, Ling An stood quietly in the shadow of a tree. If she didn't pay attention, she would be ignored.
"It's not unusual for him to lose his chain, but even if he messes up something, he will report it to us truthfully. The problem now is that we can't contact him at all." Su Xiaoqiang held the mobile phone in his right hand and rested his left hand on the edge of the fountain's seat with his fingers.
He touched the clear pool slightly, intending to use the coolness to relieve the vague uneasiness in his heart.
"There are still about ten minutes left before the rendezvous time." Veleva glanced at the black watch on her wrist. The luminous dial showed that it was now 10:18PM, Bei'an time.
They made an agreement with Fingel and Susie, who were in charge of subway exploration, to arrive at their current location, International Financial Center Line 2, on time at 10:30PM, Beijing time, unless major clues were discovered.
This fountain park collection near the subway station.
""
Su Xiaoqiang thought for a while, then picked up the phone again and dug out the chat software that she had not opened for a long time. She found the group chat of classmates who had gradually become a dead group since going to college. She took a look at the group leader's ID and it was still the same.
Click directly to chat privately, "Are you there? I have something to ask you."
After the message was sent, Su Xiaoqiang covered her phone and waited patiently on her lap. Veleva just scratched her eyebrows lightly and waited with her hands folded. Su Xiaoqiang had the final say in their group now. She and Ling only needed to obey orders.
And just make suggestions occasionally. Judging from the current situation, Su Xiaoqiang has indeed made no major mistakes in his thinking and overall view, and he can handle minor accidents smoothly.
After waiting for about five minutes, Su Xiaoqiang felt the phone vibrating on her lap. She turned over and saw the other party's reply:
"Su Xiaoqiang? Didn't you go to the United States to study?" You can feel the other party's surprise from the punctuation marks.
It's no wonder that the other party was surprised. A high school classmate whom he hadn't contacted for a long time suddenly came to visit. There were only a few possibilities, either to borrow money or to have a class reunion.
First of all, the person opposite knew very well that Su Xiaoqiang, an old classmate, would never ask him to borrow money. It would be a blessing if others did not ask Su Xiaoqiang to borrow money. Recently, he could see Su Group’s bidding announcements everywhere, and from time to time in
The cooperation list seen on the national official website proves that the old Su family has become richer and richer in recent years. It is definitely not a joke to have so much money to burn for heating. It is nonsense to talk about borrowing money.
Then it can only be a class reunion? But didn’t Su Xiaoqiang go to the United States to study? Could it be that after a long absence, I wanted to have another class reunion on a whim? This kind of thing is in line with the personality of the little goddess who is whimsical and can come up with her own ideas.
.
Of course, it could also be account theft, and the probability is not low.
Seeing that the other party had replied, Su Xiaoqiang quickly typed and sent: "It's urgent. Do you still have Chen Wenwen's phone number? Send me one, thank you."
"Typing" started to appear next to the ID on the opposite side, but disappeared after a few seconds. After a while, "Typing" appeared again and then disappeared again. Nothing was sent in the chat bar.
Obviously, Su Xiaoqiang's words burned up the opponent's CPU.
"Why do you want Chen Wenwen's phone number from me?" The other person held back his words for a while, but at the same time he also knew that the account here was not hacked, because the hacking dog would not know about Chen Wenwen, let alone find him.
I want Chen Wenwen’s phone number.
"You are Chen Wenwen's ex-boyfriend. If I don't look for you, who should I look for?" Su Xiaoqiang typed and asked.
Yes, at the other end of the mobile phone chat column is Zhao Menghua, Chen Wenwen's real ex-boyfriend and the leader of the chat group. When Su Xiaoqiang wanted to find Chen Wenwen's phone number, the first thing that came to mind was this person. In her opinion, she knew him.
Among those who know Chen Wenwen well, apart from Lu Mingfei, there is no more suitable candidate than Zhao Menghua.
The appearance and disappearance of "Inputting" happened again. After a while, Zhao Menghua on the opposite side asked in an extremely puzzled tone, "What are you looking for her for???"
Su Xiaoqiang gently pinched the fingers of her left hand that were soaked in some fountain water. Although the expression on her face was very calm, deep down in her heart, she had a bit of the natural wilting of women. She was really thinking about whether to disgust the other person at this time.
Okay, okay, she knows that it is completely unethical to ask someone for help and disgust others, but considering the issue of stance, she has a close relationship with Lin Nian. Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei are brothers, which means she is on Lu Ming's side.
Friends who are not on the front. The "tool man" opposite the mobile phone is undoubtedly Lu Ming's enemy on the opposite front. Doesn't it seem more logical to take benefits from the enemy and then disgust the enemy at the same time?
"I'm looking for Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei couldn't get through, so I wanted to call Chen Wenwen, but I don't have Chen Wenwen's number." Su Xiaoqiang followed her heart. She felt that if the person sitting here now was Lin Nian, Lin Nian
She will definitely reply to the other party like this - she just did what Lin Nian would do, and it is not considered moral corruption!
This time the other person was silent for nearly a minute, taking a minute to digest the words in the chat column.
Why did you call Chen Wenwen when you were looking for Lu Mingfei? Isn't Lu Mingfei studying in the United States like you? And shouldn't you go back to your hometown after returning to China? Chen Wenwen is studying at Peking University, does this mean you are now in Bei'an? And
Lu Mingfei is still inexplicably with Chen Wenwen? What can they do together? Have they gotten back together after the farce in the pizza restaurant last time? But it’s none of my business that they are together? Oh, it seems to be none of my business, you
It’s not just people who come here to ask for my phone number. There are so many people, why do you ask me for my phone number? That’s disgusting, right?
It is not difficult to have all the above murmurs in your mind within one minute. If given a few more minutes, you might be able to murmur several times as many times.
"So, do you have Chen Wenwen's phone number? Or did you delete it after the breakup?" Su Xiaoqiang typed and asked.
Then a moment later, she saw a string of phone numbers sent to her from the other side. It seemed that she had not deleted it or simply memorized it? After all, it would take a long time to forget the ex-girlfriend's number that she had memorized.
Opposite Zhao Menghua actually didn't want to give this number, but he thought of the current situation of Su Xiaoqiang's family, and he used an adult's thinking very maturely. Considering that his father's company was going to be listed recently, it was very likely that within the scope of business
When I came into contact with the Su Group, which is now at its peak, it is difficult to describe it properly.
Dad has been whispering in his ears many times, intentionally or unintentionally, that the daughter of the CEO of the Su Group is your classmate in high school, right? Do you still have contact with her now? It bothers him so much that he can’t say anything, so he can only hold it in every time.
You said angrily that she already has a boyfriend! Your son also has a fiancée. Didn’t you say last time that the conditions of Miaomiao’s family were good?
Every time, my father would only choke on his beard and stare, shake his head, sigh, and leave with a look of rotten wood.
This time, Su Xiaoqiang took the initiative to come to him for help. Although this task made him uncomfortable and uncomfortable, at least he was able to establish a new line after a long absence. He contacted his old classmates, sold a few favors to each other, and helped each other in the future.
When there is any trouble, borrowing the other person's energy to solve the problem can be regarded as an adult's performance of "going out into society".
"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner at the class reunion next time I have the chance." Su Xiaoqiang got the phone number as she wished.
"Farewell, there is no need for the class reunion. Let's talk about the next time next time." Zhao Menghua declined the proposal tactfully. The plot of the last class reunion was still vivid in his mind. If the little goddess comes next time, then she must be there.
Someone Lin will also be there. With someone present, Lu Mingfei will obviously follow him, and then he will drag out the picture of Chen Wenwen. He can't even think about it. Is that a meal? It is simply a banquet.
Just imagining the scene of that table made him want to commit suicide.
"Let's talk." Su Xiaoqiang exited the chat software and entered Chen Wenwen's phone number.
After waiting for a few seconds, I got feedback immediately after dialing the call. It was just an unexpected result, "Sorry, the user you dialed is not in the service area. Please call again later."
Not in the service area?
Su Xiaoqiang took the phone away with a strange expression. Her first reaction must have been to think about where in Bei'an the signal base station has not yet covered, and then the answer she got was that it was most likely an underground subway transportation system. Does this mean that Chen Wenwen
Are you taking the subway now? So maybe Lu Mingfei's cell phone turned off because it was out of battery? If it were someone else, she would definitely not think about it, but for Lu Mingfei, this situation seems much more reasonable.
"They're coming." Wei Lewa suddenly raised her chin to indicate the end of the stone road in Fountain Park. Su Xiaoqiang, who was on the phone, looked over and saw a hand holding a hot small barbecue sprinkled with cumin spices.
, Fingel raised his other hand to greet them, Susie followed him quietly with her hands in her pockets, half of her face buried in a black silk scarf, and her eyes glanced at the surrounding streets from time to time.
It seems that the subway search has no results, but the search for late-night barbecue is a great success. At first glance, it is not obvious that Fingel is on a mission. He has completely integrated into the role of a tourist foreigner.
.
"Have you eaten everything? It's you!" Fingel seems to have learned Chinese quite well, and his greetings are beginning to be full of Beijing flavor, but the accent is still a bit serious and looks nondescript.
Fingel came over and divided the small barbecue with his hands. He wanted to pass a few handfuls to each person, but Su Xiaoqiang, Ling and Wei Lewa all refused. Naturally, he started looking for a gluttonous companion who would never refuse a delicious midnight snack, but instead he found
He asked, "Is Lu Mingfei not here yet? Is he late again? Or is he playing games in the Internet cafe until he forgets the time?"
"Did you find anything on the subway?" Su Xiaoqiang asked Fingel as usual.
"Nothing was found. The only thing worth noting is that there was a fire at the Xizhimen station of Metro Line 13 tonight, which led to the closure of the station. The matter was quite big. It was discussed on the forum. I heard that it was a short circuit." Susie Tifen.
Geer, the team leader, answered the question, "What about you?"
"The game company does have a lot of problems, but no one was found. We also suffered an attack in the office building, and the opponent's identity was a hunter. The specific situation will be discussed after returning to the hotel, and by the way, we will summarize and arrange the future plan direction."
Su Xiaoqiang turned off the phone screen and stopped doing useless work.
"Waiting for Lu Mingfei to come and gather? If he comes later and doesn't find anyone, won't he be very sad and feel that he has been excluded and bullied?" Fingel ate a small barbecue with delicious bites. The only pity is that
It didn't matter if he didn't have cold beer or a bottle of crooked beer on hand. He had enjoyed this after trying Chinese liquor last time.
"Don't wait for him. He may have encountered some accidents there, but we can't contact him for the time being. He will know how to go back to the hotel."
"Why don't you give Lin Nian a call? He knows the best about Lu Mingfei. Maybe there will be news from him?" Fingel said whimsically.
"The tasks on Lin Nian's side are also tight. It seems that it has reached a critical moment. Don't harass him if you have nothing to do." Su Xiaoqiang waved his hand and Wei Lewa also shrugged. Neither of them thought that there would be news about Lu Mingfei on Lin Nian's side.
The action trajectories of the two are completely different from each other.
"Anyway, it won't be a big deal. The more useless a person is, the more his life will be. What's more, he is still the best among the useless. The good-for-nothing junior brother Ji Ren has his own destiny. Maybe he will come back in disgrace at night and tell us that he has found the Dragon King.
Where is his lair?" Fingel was quite tolerant and didn't think that anything life-threatening might happen to Lu Mingfei.
"Go back to the hotel first. We haven't learned anything today." Su Xiaoqiang stood up from the pool and took the lead to leave the park and walk towards the subway elevator at the intersection diagonally across the street. This is why she chose Fountain Park as the meeting point.
, there is the subway across the street. After getting off, transfer one stop, and then you will reach Wangfujing Station in two or three stops at most.
But when Su Xiaoqiang led everyone to the elevator, he found that there was a maintenance sign at the door of the elevator and a warning cordon. It seemed that the barrier-free passage was repaired, so he could only go around and take the stairs. Before leaving, Su Xiaoqiang had a lot of questions.
She glanced back at the closed elevator, and then turned around to glance at the Bank of China building in the distance for no apparent reason. She always felt that something was wrong, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Fortunately, we missed the evening rush hour. You have no idea what it's like on the subway at six or seven o'clock. My schoolmates and I were almost squeezed into small pieces. I say there really are Nibelungs in this kind of environment.
Are we looking in the wrong direction at all?" On the way down the stairs to the subway, Fingel complained about the terrible evening rush hour in Bei'an while jerking off his string vigorously. Without Lu Mingfei to help him share the load, he had to
Double your eating speed to finish these special delicacies before going through the security check.
"The Nibelungen is in the subway, not in the subway station. The subway stations we passed only account for only a few thousandths or even a few ten thousandths of the area in the entire subway transportation blueprint. The rest of the winding and long tunnels are
It's the possible hiding place of the Dragon King." Susie flatly rejected Fingel's demoralizing statement.
"I really don't want to squeeze into the subway during the evening rush hour anymore. I'm beginning to miss the subway transportation in Germany. Although it's a little worse, it's a lot older. The environment is also dirty and messy. There are a lot of robberies and thefts. Occasionally, it's OK.
I saw rats running around in the carriage, but at least there weren’t many people there, so I couldn’t fight for a seat.” Fingel walked down the last step of the stairs and stuffed the bamboo sticks in his hands into the trash can. It was quite unhygienic.
He wiped the oily corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.
It's already late now, and the flow of people in the subway is sparse to the naked eye. In the empty subway station, the automatic ticket machines are lined up in the corner, and not many people are queuing.
"Go buy a ticket." Su Xiaoqiang probably thought Fingel talked too much, so he asked him to do something.
"Okay, okay, Her Majesty the Queen." Fingel trotted to the machine to buy a ticket. He turned around and counted the number of people, then took out the crumpled banknotes in his pocket, straightened them hard and tried to stuff them in, but nothing happened.
He was rejected several times, which made him scratch his head. He turned around and asked, "Well, who has newer banknotes? My money seems to have been rejected."
"There's quite a lot going on." Su Xiaoqiang sighed, finally understanding why Lin Nian was so disrespectful to Fingel, his nominal senior brother. Such antics and out-of-touch things made his personality exactly the same as Lu Mingfei's.
In addition, he is a bit more shameless than Lu Mingfei, a German gangster, and he is simply the Plus version of Lu Mingfei.
Just when Su Xiaoqiang was about to take out her wallet, she smelled a scent of white jasmine and ink. It was slightly complex, but overall it was particularly fragrant, with some warmth from hot coffee. A man in a dress walked past behind Su Xiaoqiang.
The scent was probably coming from the tall woman wearing a trench coat and a black and white linen shawl.
"Tom Ford? Jasmin Noir? It doesn't seem right." Veleva, who was waiting with her hands folded next to her, muttered softly. She seemed to be a girl who also had a lot of knowledge about perfumes.
"It's not the scent of a big brand of perfume. I remember that I can only create this scent by myself." When Su Xiaoqiang saw the person walking away to the gate, he turned his head slightly and looked for banknotes while discussing in a low voice with Wei Lewa, "You
Didn’t you smell it? In addition to the smell of jasmine, there is also the aroma of coffee beans, which is not how ordinary perfumes are blended."
Zero, on the other hand, waited aside without saying a word with her eyes slightly lowered. She never used perfume. As for what she smelled like, few people knew because she always kept a distance from others.
"Really?" Veleva twitched her delicate nose, as if she wanted to catch the faint fragrance left in the air, but unfortunately, the subway ventilation environment was so good that the smell dissipated and disappeared after a while.
"But why do I feel familiar? I think I saw someone wearing this kind of perfume in school?" She muttered, folding her hands.
Su Xiaoqiang found a banknote of the appropriate denomination in her wallet, took it out with two green fingers, and was about to walk towards Fingel, but when she heard what Veleva said, she suddenly thought of something and stopped.
, tilting his head slightly.
Is this smell familiar? Yes, she actually feels that this smell is familiar, as if she has smelled it somewhere before, but there is no big brand that has the same smell as this in her mind, so she rejects the argument that this is a brand-name product. But why?
Can you immediately be sure that this was prepared by someone else? How did you get this answer so confidently?
There is only one reason.
That's because this kind of conversation happened once in the past. It was also she who smelled the fragrance, and she also made a guess. It was also the other party who rejected the guess and told her that this was not a brand product, but
I mixed it myself to save some money on cosmetics.
Something suddenly exploded in my mind, and what emerged was a paralysis caused by shock.
Su Xiaoqiang suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate. The woman wearing a black and white linen shawl was already standing on the escalator going down to the platform. Her long black hair hung down her back. That figure from the back was familiar and familiar.
Damn An Xin's longing back figure, I didn't recognize him the first time!
"Wait a moment!"
Su Xiaoqiang only had time to shout out quickly and briefly. The sound was so loud that it echoed in the relatively empty subway station. Many people subconsciously turned their heads to look here, and then they saw the girl quickly chasing after her without hesitation.
The direction of the woman who walked away even jumped over the turnstile on the road like a hurdle. Under the gaze of the security personnel with raised eyebrows, she rushed recklessly towards the disappearing figure on the escalator!
"What's going on? What's going on?" Wei Lewa and Su Qian were both stunned, and Ling Ye suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Xiaoqiang's running back.
"Follow her." Zero rushed forward without any hesitation.
"Hey! It's done!" Fingel, who was concentrating in front of the ticket buying machine not far away, suddenly smiled and watched the machine eat his crumpled banknotes, and successfully accepted several disposable subway cards spit out from below.
.
He picked up the subway card and looked back, and found that several people had disappeared. When he turned around, he saw a few strong figures going through the turnstiles. He was a little stunned, "Sisters, even if you evade fares, don't be so blatant, right?"
