"Ning Ning, why are you back?" Li Chengyu was surprised when he saw her sitting on the sofa.
She is usually very busy at Xie's. Even after get off work, she doesn't stay on the sofa. She usually goes back to her guest bedroom.
"Why are you looking at me like this, in a daze?" He pinched his eyebrows, his face full of gentle concern.
Wen Ning clenched his palms and pretended to be fine, "Have Secretary Xu's funeral affairs been settled?"
"Yes, I accompanied the Xu family to send Secretary Xu's ashes back to Rongcheng today.
You know I'm a good gentleman, and my subordinate was in a car accident, so I sympathize with their family."
Wen Ning looked at his tired face, as if he really cared about his subordinates.
She looked at him without any trace. He didn't seem to be wearing this shirt when he went out in the morning...
Thinking back carefully, there were several times before when he wore different clothes to and from get off work.
However, she didn't pay it any attention.
Li Chengyu shook her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Xu's matter has recently affected the company. I'm busy dealing with it, and the Xu family entrusted me to settle claims with the car manufacturer. Did I neglect you?"
"No." Wen Ning smiled without trace and suddenly asked, "By the way, Chengyu.
While you are handling Miss Xu's funeral at the police station, have you ever asked how the Yaoyuan disappearance case is progressing?"
Li Chengyu paused obviously and turned his head to look over, his gentle gaze mixed with a hint of sharpness.
"The cases between them are not from the same police station." He replied and asked, "Ning Ning, why did you suddenly remember to ask about Miss Zhu?"
Wen Ning looked at her, "I worry about her every day, but you handle the reporting process, so I'm embarrassed to ask you every day."
Li Chengyu looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I've been really busy during this time.
In this case, I'll call the director now, because I don't know, it's better for you to ask him in person."
Wen Ning saw the calmness in his eyes, and she became confused again.
If Yaoyao's disappearance is related to him, he should reveal some clues.
However, Xu Sisi's last text message shocked her too much.
That must be a key piece of information.
Li Chengyu immediately dialed the phone.
The director's voice came from the other side, "Mr. Li, hello Mr. Li, what can I do for you?"
"My wife would like to ask how your investigation into Miss Zhu's disappearance went?
After I reported the case, you were all in charge, and I forgot to ask about the progress, how about it?"
The director was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately, "Mrs. Li, that's it. The police force of the police station is limited. We found the brick factory on the seaside, carefully investigated it, and found a suspected female footprint. We are now checking it.
Ms. Zhu’s shoe size and if it is her footprints, then we speculate that she may have accidentally fallen into the sea while trekking. Of course, this is just a speculation..."
Wen Ning listened, but was puzzled.
Have you really found Zhu Yaoyao’s footprints?
It's impossible. Li Beichen said, Zhu Yaoyao didn't go to the brick factory at all.
Is it because the police are not doing their job well, or... Wen Ning suddenly cast his doubtful eyes on Li Chengyu's face.
Or is he really, as Li Beichen said, secretly telling the director not to investigate Yaoyao's disappearance?
Maybe this investigation result is false and he used it to prevaricate her.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the Li Chengyu presented to her was no longer real.
She remembered that Li Beichen told her that he was injured by Li Chengyu.
"Ning Ning...what are you thinking about? Did you hear what the director said?" Li Chengyu shook her eyes and reminded gently, "If you still need me to supervise the director, just make your request."
"...Forget it. Please ask the police station to follow the rules and help me find Yaoyao."
If that's the case, she can only find Yaoyao secretly.
"That's fine, Miss Zhu may be safe and sound. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Good luck has its own destiny." Li Chengyu rubbed her hair, his eyes full of deep concern.
If it were before, Wen Ning would have thanked him for caring so much about him.
But now, through his gentle face, what kind of face is there?
She only felt her heart getting cold.
Is there really nothing wrong with him? Then why is it such a coincidence that one of Yaoyao and Xu Sisi disappears and the other dies?
"Don't worry blindly. It's rare that you get off work early. You go up and take a shower and I'll cook for you."
Li Chengyu said softly, and suddenly stopped her, "By the way, Ning Ning, in two days Minister Liang will hold a reception banquet for his daughter when she returns to China. Miss Liang, do you have any impression? Mrs. Liang kindly invited me to go with you. They
My family status is very special, I can’t refuse.”
"Okay." Wen Ning nodded absently, she was worried.
No matter if she went to that occasion, if Li Chengyu really had any secrets, she might be able to find out what kind of person he was through his interactions with those dignitaries.
-
The next morning.
Wen Ning suddenly received a call from Jiujiu, "Mommy, haven't you forgotten that you have two little babies?"
Wen Ning was embarrassed and rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, Jiujiu. How are you and Mo Bao staying at Li's house? Something happened to Mommy these days, and your grandpa just woke up, so I didn't even take the time.
Go and pick you up."
She felt guilty inside, but thinking about it carefully, she realized why she could be so relieved subconsciously.
In fact, I still feel that Li Beichen will be good to his two sons.
At his core, he is a very responsible father, she has to admit this.
...What was she thinking, why did she say something nice for that shameless man?
Wen Ning was speechless and heard Jiujiu mutter over there: "Oh, you just forgot about us two when you got busy, right?
Fortunately, the Li family is not a bad family, otherwise Mo Baoke and I would have been mistreated."
Wen Ning frowned: "No way. Grandpa and grandma of the Li family, aren't they good to you?"
"How dare they!" Jiujiu screamed, "Grandma showed up in Mingshan with Mo Bao that night, and grandpa looked surprised when he saw it.
It took a lot of effort for Mo Bao to condescend to pay a visit to the Li family. Both his grandfather and great-grandmother treated him as if they were eyeballs. They worked hard to please him these days, fearing that Mo Bao would feel unhappy and leave immediately.
Every time when daddy comes back from get off work, he is speechless when he sees grandpa and grandma pampering Mo Bao.
But who owes Daddy the most to Mo Bao? Grandpa and great-aunt are not helping him atone for his sins."
"Then... what about Mo Bao's reaction?" Wen Ning also became nervous about Mo Bao's attitude towards the Li family.
After all, Mo Bao is not as stubborn as Jiujiu and is easy to fool.
Jiujiu pouted, "Mo Bao is so proud! No matter how grandpa teases him, he refuses to smile.
He looked indifferent to the Li family.
Only when facing his great-grandmother and grandma, Mo Bao would have a good face.
Isn’t he always like this? He treats girls, no matter young or old, very coquettishly!”
Wen Ning held his forehead: "...Um, do you know how to use adjectives for your brother? How can he be so romantic at such a young age?"
"Fengliu is also like a scumbag dad.
By the way, Mo Bao asked me to ask you, are you coming to take us home?
The two of us are now in Daddy Zha’s apartment, and he said he would take us out for outdoor football, barbecue and hot spring bathing later! Daddy Zha asked you, do you want to come with us?”
