In the next three days, the military government and the Xi family almost searched Yancheng, but they could not find Xi Wenlan or Du Xueru.
This matter appeared in the newspapers.
There are different opinions as to where the missing young lady and wife of the Xi family went.
The press and the public have their own speculations.
Some people said that they must have been kidnapped, while others said that the possibility of "eloping" was extremely high. At first, they said that the two of them ran away separately, but later they thought that their stepmother and daughter had a relationship, and the family did not tolerate it, so the two ran away.
.
The direction of the topic caught people off guard.
The Xi family rejected the possibility of "elopement" because Du Xueru and Xi Wenlan did not bring any money with them.
Fourth Master Xi just took a nap on the sofa in the living room for three days and didn't sleep much.
He was very haggard.
The bags under his eyes drooped, causing his entire face to look down, as if he had aged by ten years.
He was indeed worried about his gray hair all night long, and it seemed that he had more and more gray hair in the past few days.
Yun Qiao is at home on leave.
Her friends came to visit her one after another, comfort her, and try to find ways to help her find someone.
Qian Changping and Zhu Yucheng also came, saying that the Youth Gang would help. However, the people just disappeared and there was no trace at all. It was as if they disappeared from this world after leaving the mansion.
On the sixth day, Fourth Master Xi collapsed.
He was waiting for news on the sofa, wanted to stand up and drink water, and then became dizzy.
He hadn't eaten or slept much in the past five days.
The doctor said it was caused by malnutrition, so he should rest more and eat nutritious food.
But Fourth Master Xi struggled to get up.
Yun Qiao held his shoulders: "Don't move, the doctor wants you to lie down for a while."
She sat beside Fourth Master Xi's bed and remained silent for a long time.
Fourth Master Xi didn't speak, his eyes were a bit empty.
"...Do you want to know the truth, or are you willing to live in confusion forever?" Yun Qiao suddenly asked him, "You have to think about it carefully. There is no room for regret in this matter."
Fourth Master Xi: "Of course I want the truth. I want to see the person alive or dead. Those are my wife and daughter!"
Yun Qiao: "Then you wait quietly for now. Let's leave the hospital in the afternoon and go find the truth."
Fourth Master Xi looked at her in astonishment.
Suddenly, he suspected that Yun Qiao had kidnapped Du Xueru and her daughter.
How is it possible that even the Green Gang and the military government can't find any clues? The Xi family has offered a reward of 10,000 yuan, and anyone with information can come and report it, but they still haven't found anyone.
The only possibility is that one of the Xi family or the Qing Gang is guarding and stealing.
Fourth Master Xi looked at Yun Qiao, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "You..."
"Please be patient first," Yun Qiao said, "Remember what I say and don't say anything for the time being, otherwise you may not know the truth for the rest of your life."
Fourth Master Xi felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Yun Qiao didn't come until after five o'clock in the afternoon.
It was already the eleventh month of the New Year, and it was almost dark after five o'clock. Yun Qiao came over to handle the discharge procedures for Fourth Master Xi.
Although the doctor thought he should stay longer, he did not disobey Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao drove the car himself.
She gave Fourth Master Xi a box of chocolates: "This stuff can replenish your physical strength. Eat a little to avoid running out of energy later."
Fourth Master Xi didn't say anything bad, nor did he ask any questions. He was just very nervous, and his hands and feet were trembling.
The Western chocolate was extremely sweet, but he could not bear to eat two pieces.
I don't know if it was self-delusion or the sweet chocolate had an effect, but when he got out of the car, he felt that his legs and feet were no longer shaking.
They stopped in front of a bungalow.
The tall courtyard wall is three meters long, and the iron gate is heavy and towering, a bit like a fortress.
Yun Qiao knocked on the door and opened the small door on the big iron door.
She led Fourth Master Xi inside.
Fourth Master Xi felt that his heart was high, as if there was some demon hiding in this room and was about to engulf him.
He took each step in vain.
When he entered the door, he saw a figure sitting on the sofa in the dark. There was only one wall lamp turned on in the room, and the light was dim, so the person was both familiar and strange at the same time.
