Huo Xu was startled, and his heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. He turned sideways and glanced at the girl on his back, "What did you call me?"
"Big brother……"
Yu Ruanruan hugged the man's neck tightly, her breath filled with the smell of alcohol.
She buried her face in the man's neck and muttered.
He had never heard Ruanruan call him this title before. At that moment, Huo Xu had an incredible idea.
Dark clouds covered the bright moon in the sky. On an autumn night, the weather suddenly changed, and a biting cold wind blew through the fallen leaves.
looks like it's going to rain.
The weather will definitely be bad tomorrow.
Huo Xu withdrew his thoughts and looked a little colder. In fact, he felt a familiar feeling on Ruanruan's body more than once.
Even just now, he actually had the idea of Ruanruan and Tangtang being the same person.
Is this the reason why Ruanruan is worried about him finding a substitute?
Huo Xu frowned and couldn't help but reflect.
He had never subjectively considered Ruanruan as a substitute, but in countless moments of getting along, he could instinctively feel that Ruanruan had Tangtang's shadow on him.
Once or twice may be a coincidence, but if it happens more often, it is abnormal.
He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, turned to the assistant beside him and said, "Zhang Mian."
"Master."
"I have a task for you." Huo Xu was carrying the girl on his back. His back was not bent at all by the girl's weight. He remained as upright as a pine. He whispered, "Tonight you go to Nianhua Town."
"Nianhua Town? Where did Miss Yu stay when she was a child?"
"Um."
Huo Xudao, "Go and fetch Ruanruan's adoptive mother."
He once had the ability to read minds and could easily learn about a girl's past and future plans just by listening to her voice. Therefore, out of laziness, he did not investigate Ruan Ruan's experience.
This time he planned to call in Rourou's adoptive mother and ask her carefully.
"yes."
On the way back to the room carrying the girl, Yu Ruanruan, who was in a daze, suddenly grabbed his collar and looked at him drunkenly, "Mom...Mom...it's not me who is greedy, it's...it's Huo Xu
That guy made me drink, and he also made your daughter eat junk food."
Huo Xu: "..."
This girl, after drinking too much, is really bad at drinking, and she is still possessed by the drama queen.
However, Huo Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girl bewildered. Such a relaxed and happy atmosphere was really rare.
Just sacrifice.
Huo Xu walked to the lobby, took out his ID and gave it to the front desk, "Book a suite."
Ten minutes later, he took the girl into the room he had booked and sent a message to Cheng Zishan at the same time.
——[Aunt Cheng, Ruanruan has to go back to school temporarily because of something. I have already sent her back to the dormitory, don’t think about it.]
After doing all this, Huo Xu turned around and left the hotel.
The next morning, when Yu Ruanruan woke up, her head still hurt a little. Next to her were hangover medicine, stomach and digestive tablets, and unopened purified water.
She directly opened the wrapping paper, took a few pills, and swallowed the medicine by the mouth of the bottle.
Thinking of the barbecue last night and the in-depth conversation between Huo Xu and herself, Yu Ruanruan stretched out and lay back on the bed.
Looking at the ceiling, she suddenly fell into deep thought.
Tangtang was eight years old when she disappeared. She was also eight years old when she was abducted by "Canglang". According to the time calculation, Tangtang was the same age as herself, which means that they were probably the same group of girls who were abducted into the organization.
.
When Yu Ruanruan thought of this, her eyes could not help but darken a little.
She remembered that there were not ten but eight girls of her own age at that time. Is it possible that Tangtang was one of those girls?
The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Ruoruan's eyebrows furrowed a little deeper.
Perhaps, she could call Yang Cuihua and ask for information about those children. Before Yang Cuihua escaped from the organization, she was responsible for taking care of abducted children under the age of 10.
Yu Ruanruan took out her mobile phone and dialed the landline number in the slums of Nianhua Town...
"Ding dong ding dong ding dong——"
In the dilapidated corridor, the doorbell rang.
Because the sound insulation of the house here is poor, it soon became noisy and the neighbors came out to curse.
"It's not over yet! Stop knocking!"
A bald man wearing flip-flops came out and said to Zhang Mian, "Who are you?"
"Is Yang Cuihua who lives here not at home?"
"She? She went out alone last month and never came back again."
"Going out?" Zhang Mian frowned and asked in surprise, "Where did she go?"
"Who knows? The nanny who originally took care of her quit. In the past few months, she could only take care of herself. She went out to buy groceries and so on. But last month, she went out one day and didn't come back. I thought she went
She has gone to live with her adopted daughter in the city."
After Zhang Mian investigated the situation, he immediately called Huo Xu.
"You mean, the person is missing?" Huo Xu frowned, feeling more and more strange that something was going on, "Let's find out the origin of Yang Cuihua."
"After asking, Yang Cuihua has lived in Nianhua Town for more than ten years, and some of the surrounding neighbors moved here later. As for Miss Yu, the neighbors said that Miss Yu was already in the town when they moved here.
"
"Go to the nursing home in the town and inquire. Some elderly people in the town will know more. Also, go directly to the local government to report a missing person case and file the file."
Yang Cuihua's disappearance came very suddenly.
Although Huo Xu knew that Ruanruan had no feelings for the adoptive mother, he still felt it was necessary to find the girl and tell her about it.
At this moment, Yu Ruanruan, who was in the hotel, made several calls to the landline in the slum but no one answered, and she already noticed something strange.
She suddenly remembered that Yang Cuihua had a mobile phone for the elderly.
Relying on memory, I entered the number for the old man's phone.
"Dududu——"
After a series of busy tones, the phone was connected, and a deep voice processed by a voice changer came from the receiver, "You finally called. Tsk, I have to write down a number every day. As of today, it is exactly 41.
God, it seems that you and Aunt Yang have never shared joys and sorrows in these years."
"Who are you?"
Suddenly she heard an unfamiliar voice answer Yang Cuihua's call. Yu Ruanruan felt her scalp numb and a layer of cold sweat could not help but creep up her back.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you have rebelled against the organization for more than ten years. Have you ever thought that one day you would be discovered? Huh?"
It was like a whisper from hell, faintly reaching my ears.
At this moment, Yu Ruanruan felt as if someone had cast a restraining spell on her body. The emotion of fear took over her brain. As a result, her whole body became stiff and petrified, and her hands and feet were as cold as ice.
It's a man from Canglang!
"What are you talking about? What organization? I don't understand at all! Wrong number!"
Her pupils trembled with fear, and it took her a long time to regain her senses. She pretended to be dumbfounded in front of the phone. Just when she was about to hang up, a hoarse and weird laughter came from the other side.
"Miss Yu, Wang Hu and Jin Mingxi were both harmed by you, right? You are a cunning woman who has been full of scheming since she was a child. When you grow up, she is like a poisonous scorpion. Miss Yu, or should I call you, star."
