The man bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Miss Zhou, my benefactor would like to see you. Could you please come with me?"
"Ning Chengen?"
...
The award ceremony had ended for nearly half an hour, and the scene was completely silent.
Lu Hua drove over quietly to take Zhou Xiaoqing home.
After sending a message to Zhou Xiaoqing, he waited in the garage for a while. Five minutes later, Zhou Xiaoqing still didn't come downstairs.
I called and it said the phone was turned off.
He frowned, put on his mask, and went upstairs fully armed to find her in person.
There was a sign on the door saying "Zhou Xiaoqing's dedicated rest room". Lu Hua pushed the door open and went in, but there was no one inside.
He immediately called his special assistant Hua Yun, "Check the surveillance thoroughly, Xiaoqing is missing!"
...
Zhou Xiaoqing was forcibly taken back to the Ning family's ancestral home by her bodyguards.
It was very dark, and she stood at the door of the Ning family's ancestral home, feeling baffled.
"Why did Ning Chengen ask you to bring me here? What does he want to do?"
The bodyguard didn't explain, he just stretched out his hand to signal her to come in.
Zhou Xiaoqing didn't move and wanted to send a message to Lu Hua. As soon as she took out her phone, the bodyguard snatched it away.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhou. My dear, he will not harm you. He himself is the one in the bureau who upholds justice for others. He cannot do anything that violates laws and disciplines. What's more, you are a celebrity and well-known."
She followed the bodyguard in doubtfully.
Finally, at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the bodyguard opened the small door and bent down: "My grace is waiting inside, please go in."
Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Ning Chengen was selling in his gourd, but in a solemn and solemn place like the ancestral hall, Ning Chengen wouldn't be able to do anything bad.
She walked in, and the lights were turned on in Nuo Da's ancestral hall. There were candles burning in front of the ancestor's tablets, and the whole house was filled with a light scent of sandalwood, which was fresh and pleasant.
Ning Chengen had a futon under his knees, his phoenix eyes were slightly condensed, covering his amber pupils, and he was holding incense and worshiping his ancestors.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ning Chengen kowtowed for the last time before standing up and turning around to look at Zhou Xiaoqing who was standing by the door.
He smiled lightly and said in a very easy-going voice: "Miss Zhou, do you still remember the last time we met?"
Zhou Xiaoqing showed no expression, "Please tell me if you have anything to say, I'm very busy."
"Okay, I won't waste your time. Let's make a long story short."
He walked up to Zhou Xiaoqing, took out a photo from his arms and handed it to her, "Look at this."
Zhou Xiaoqing took it inexplicably.
The photo shows a woman who looks to be in her early thirties. She is staring at the camera with a gentle smile.
His appearance is not stunning, but he is clean and attractive. The most important thing is that his eyebrows are 70% similar to hers.
But she confirmed that she had never worn the outfit in the photo, nor had she ever filmed a modern drama.
The woman in this photo cannot be her.
She became even more suspicious, raised her head and looked at Ning Chengen, "What do you mean?"
Ning Chengen's eyes were soft and apologetic, "I'm sorry, it's my brother's fault. I have been too busy with business these years and I don't usually pay attention to the entertainment industry. If I hadn't seen you at Ji's house that day, I might not have a clue now.
You have suffered more than twenty years outside for nothing."
"elder brother?"
Zhou Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the photo in her hand and then at Ning Chengen, in disbelief.
"Did Master En make a mistake? I have been in Fangcheng Orphanage since I was a child. I am no match for the Ning family, and it is impossible for an extra brother to appear out of thin air."
Ning Chengen clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the ancestral tablet again, and began to speak calmly.
"The Ning family was in chaos when you were born. I was only eight years old. My father went to Europe and Africa on a business trip. When he came back, he brought his one-year-old illegitimate son Ning Chengxu with him."
Zhou Xiaoqing was puzzled: "What does Ning Chengxu have to do with me?"
