When she got out of the elevator, the property service staff behind her said to the man in the door: "I'm very sorry, sir, she said she knows you."
Mu Shaoling nodded.
The property management staff then left.
Looking at the man in the door, Ruan Bai asked cautiously: "Have you seen my grandpa?"
She was the one who said she wanted to get out of the other person's life, and now it's her who comes to his door at night and asks him questions.
Ruan Bai couldn't help being cautious and embarrassed, but in order to find her grandfather, she couldn't help but lose face.
"What's wrong with your grandpa? He's not at home?" Mu Shaoling lowered his head to tie the belt around the waist of his nightgown. After hearing this, he raised his head and asked her.
Ruan Bai observed his expression and eyes and found that he really didn't seem to know where her grandfather had gone.
The sudden falling feeling in her heart made her confused and shook her head. She pressed the elevator button with trembling hands and planned to go downstairs.
Looking at her pale cheeks and twinkling eyes, Mu Shaoling went out and walked to the elevator.
When she was struggling to cry but didn't dare to cry, he threw her on the sofa and immediately put his arms in front of her. His dark eyes were cold and he asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Tell me!"
Ruan Bai's eyes were full of water.
At this time, two little guys came out of the room.
Ruan Ruan was holding a little white bear in his arms in a daze, rubbing his eyes. Zhan Zhan was so anxious that he wore his slippers inside out, and stared blankly at the adult in a strange posture in front of the sofa.
"Go back to bed. Dad is talking to your Aunt Xiaobai about something." Mu Shaoling turned around and frowned.
Zhan Zhan pursed his lips, said nothing, and took his sister back to the room. Before going back to the room, he reluctantly glanced at Aunt Xiaobai several times...
Ruan Bai also glanced at the two children.
However, she really couldn't laugh.
The cell phone rang.
Ruan Bai seemed to be waiting for some news and immediately took it out to read.
It turned out that the WeChat message was from Li Ni.
Li Ni said in a direct voice: "I didn't see your grandpa, what's wrong? Xiaobai, don't scare me. Is grandpa lost? Where are you? I'll go over now, don't be afraid!"
Mu Shaoling took her cell phone and replied for her: "No trouble."
After saying that, he took her mobile phone and stared into her eyes hidden under thick eyelashes: "I'm going to get dressed, wait for me."
Her cell phone was taken away by him, and she could only wait.
This man probably only wears a suit and shirt 365 days a year, speaking and doing things strictly anytime and anywhere.
When Ruan Bai left the apartment building with him, he attracted the attention of several people at the property front desk.
"This is a couple, right?" a girl at the front desk asked another lady on duty.
The lady on duty, who was busy checking the information, raised her head, looked at the two people walking out, and said: "It's true that they are a couple, but I feel that these two people are quite different. Otherwise, how could the woman not have the key? Enter the door.
We still need to send someone to help her find that man, a lover, I think it’s the kind of lover who is being kept.”
"Maybe they are having trouble. Anyway, from what I can see, that man's face and eyes are full of concern for this woman, unlike a ruthless financier who treats his lover..."
The eldest lady on duty was surprised, "Are you kidding me? A woman like this who is so ordinary and can be picked up by a lot of people has the right to quarrel with that gentleman? Is she tired of life, or has she never been dumped before and wants to taste what it feels like to be dumped?"
"
The girl at the front desk curled her lips and said to the lady on duty: "Where can I catch a lot of ordinary ones? If you look like this without makeup, you can go and grab one for me on the street. You don't need to grab more, just one. If you catch it, it's yours."
sharp."
The lady on duty stopped talking.
…
Mu Shaoling drove the car out of the parking lot.
The black Land Rover stopped at the door of the apartment, and the window was rolled down. He looked at her, "The subway will stop soon. Are you going to take a taxi somewhere? I'm afraid the money in your wallet will be used up soon. Don't find Grandpa."
, your father’s illness has no money to treat.” He forced her to get in the car and accept his help.
Whether before or after breaking off the relationship with him, she was using her own money to treat her father and support herself. Now she has an elderly grandfather.
The burden is too heavy.
She cherishes every penny in her wallet.
Ruan Bai got into the car and leaned his head on the car seat silently.
"Have you asked if there are any other relatives at home?" Mu Shaoling drove steadily, intending to take her home again in case the old man really just got lost and couldn't get through the door now that she was home.
"All the relatives, including my grandfather who I can't contact, I definitely can't contact either." Ruan Bai thought hard and said.
In the car, Mu Shaoling called his grandfather again.
Mr. Mu said that he had never seen Mr. Ruan and asked what happened.
Mu Shaoling prevaricated and pressed the hang up button. Then he looked at her and said, "Call the police first. Don't worry. Grandpa will be fine."
If she calls the police, the police's answer will be that the case can only be opened for investigation after 48 hours of missing...
Mu Shaoling was rich, powerful and well-connected, so he only made one phone call to Dong Zijun to arrange it.
Dong Zijun came forward alone, told the whole story, and handed Mr. Ruan's photos and information to the police.
…
Driving back to the community where they rented a house, Mu Shaoling walked behind Ruan Bai and went upstairs together.
When I opened the door, the room was dark and unusually quiet. Grandpa didn't come back.
Go downstairs again.
Mu Shaoling accompanied her to every corner of the community, even extending to many streets outside the community, but there was no trace of the old man...
The weather at the end of September was cold at night.
Ruan Bai couldn't tell whether it was because his skin was cold or his heart was cold, and his body was trembling.
The police checked the surveillance cameras near the community, but there was no result for a while. There were more bad surveillance cameras than good ones.
"Grandpa, have you returned to town?" Mu Shaoling asked as he walked behind Ruan Bai.
Ruan Bai looked back at him, the water in her eyes had not dissipated in the past few hours. It was almost late at night, and she was like a fragile wretch who did not dare to confront anyone or anything in this world.
Mu Shaoling stepped forward, grasped her small hand with one big hand, wrapped it tightly, pointed to the car parked on the street in the distance with one finger, and said calmly: "Let's go back to town and take a look, leave this place to the police."
.”
Ruan Bai had no choice.
On the way back to the town, Mu Shaoling insisted on giving her the suit jacket.
She is indeed very cold.
"Get some sleep. I'll call you when we get there." Mu Shaoling lit a cigarette and lowered the window to let the smoke disperse.
Driving late at night, he doesn't smoke for fear that he won't be energetic enough.
Ruan Bai closed her eyes for a while and then opened them again. Every late night when she couldn't sleep, she tried to transform her love for Mu Shaoling into the emotion between relatives.
This way, there is no guilt anymore.
The man who was concentrating on driving noticed her inattentive sleep and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Looking at Mu Shaoling, she said calmly: "I was thinking... you are my boss, my boss. Maybe, I can recognize you as my brother..."
The man driving the car flicked the ashes into the ashtray in the car. As if he heard a joke, he opened his cold lips and said softly, "Brother? Do you want to have a brother who wants to sleep with you every day?"
