The night was dark and dark, and Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Heng went away for a long time before returning.
Both of their pants were dirty and their shoes were covered in mud.
"None of them! It was dark everywhere in the old house. We bought a flashlight and went inside. We yelled and screamed, but no one answered after searching for a long time."
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and explained: "We also went to the Cai family's old house, and even went in to search the nearby alleys and alleys."
Mother Xue asked anxiously: "Then where will they go?"
Cheng Tianyuan said helplessly: "It's difficult to find someone in the dark, and we have no clue at all. We don't even know where to look."
"Let's wait until tomorrow." Xue Ling quickly made arrangements, "A Heng, you can't go to work. You go home now and see if your aunt is back. Tomorrow morning, you come here with your aunt. In addition,
, you have to ask my dad and third uncle to come over for help. I will ask Boss Liao to come over. Both parties will gather here, and then we will discuss how to find someone."
Xue Heng's eyes flashed slightly and he muttered: "Isn't this bad? That Cai Yunyan's husband might be going crazy..."
"Nonsense!"
He is very wise and came here specifically to discuss with me to understand Uncle Zhilan’s character.”
Xue Heng was slightly surprised and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll go back to find my mother first."
Xue's mother reminded: "Old Xue is with Muhai and the others tonight. You leave him here tomorrow morning and bring him with you. As for the third uncle... I guess you will have to pick him up."
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Do you need Third Uncle? He is very old, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to help."
"Wrong." Xue Ling explained: "Uncle San and my father are the people who know the most about this incident. We can ask them for some clues. Auntie also needs to come. What did she tell Uncle Zhilan to let him
I actually took a week's leave all of a sudden - the direct reason must be related to my aunt."
Xue’s mother murmured and asked, “Will you be back in a week?”
"No." Xue Ling analyzed calmly: "Uncle Zhilan couldn't have left without saying a word. He must have told Auntie something. If she was going to a far away place, Sister Cai would naturally tell her family. She suddenly didn't come home for two nights.
, the family members must be extremely anxious. It is impossible for them not to know that a person in his fifties is not a child."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "Then we can only discuss it tomorrow and then look for it."
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Xue Heng hurried back.
Cheng Tianyuan asked his mother-in-law to go to bed first, then turned around and helped Xue Ling wipe her body, change into hospital clothes, helped her go to the bathroom, and then put her to sleep.
Xue Ling looked out the dark window and sighed in a low voice: "I hope they are safe and sound."
He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry, the Ji people have their own destiny, and nothing will happen to them."
Xue Ling hugged his arm and leaned on him silently.
The love between husband and wife is deep, and even if she doesn't say it, he understands her thoughts.
"Daughter-in-law, no matter how good the old relationship is, it's still old. Even if you can't forget it, it's all in the past and can never be true. Uncle Zhilan is not a cold-blooded person. He is a responsible man. Even if you can't forget the old relationship,
Old love, he doesn’t want to let go of his relatives at home, and he won’t let us down.”
Xue Ling smiled softly, squinted his eyes and sighed: "The emotions in youth are the purest and simplest. Maybe it's because of this that I forget them so much."
"Yeah." Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "I'll go down and hang up the phone with Boss Liao and ask him to come over here tomorrow morning."
"Go ahead." Xue Ling closed her eyes, "I have to sleep well so I can be energetic tomorrow."
Cheng Tianyuan secretly kissed her hair, helped her tuck in the thin quilt, and then gently opened the door and went downstairs.
When I called, someone answered immediately - it was Liao Zongnan.
When he found out it was A Yuan, he seemed a little disappointed, and soon asked if there was any good news.
Cheng Tianyuan explained that he had no idea for the time being. Everyone was worried about whether something happened to the two of them when they went out, and they hoped that they could combine their efforts to find someone.
Liao Zongnan agreed and said he would come over early tomorrow morning.
After a pause, he whispered: "I... didn't let her family know, and I didn't want the children to know. I hope everyone will keep this matter a secret."
This is not something honorable and honorable. Even if the two of them are innocent, it will be unclear if word gets out about it, so it is best that as few people know about it as possible and the more hidden the better.
Cheng Tianyuan naturally understood, and quickly responded and hung up the phone.
…
Early the next morning, Liao Zongnan came.
Seeing his eyes full of red bloodshot eyes, Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan understood that he must have been awake all night, so they hurriedly invited him to drink a cup of morning tea.
Liao Zongnan thanked him and took it.
Mother Xue asked politely: "Have you had breakfast?"
"...Not yet." Liao Zongnan smiled vaguely: "I don't have much appetite."
Mother Xue didn't know what to say, so she said: "I'll go down and buy breakfast, and I'll buy you one too. Eat a little bit, because people are like iron rice or steel, and they have to eat."
Liao Zongnan smiled and thanked him.
Xue's mother didn't have much contact with him. Seeing that although he was over fifty years old, he was elegant and honest, and his temperament was very good, she felt reassured for a moment.
Chen is a bit fat and average-looking, but Zhilan has always been tall and thin, elegant, intelligent, and even more dignified in appearance.
She was secretly worried that Liao Zongnan was a fat, ugly and tacky businessman, and Cai Yunyan might be more likely to fall in love with her old lover when she saw that he was still as handsome as ever.
Now seeing that Liao Zongnan and Zhilan had a good fight, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Ling knew all of them quite well, so without Xue's mother's twisted thoughts, she hurriedly asked Liao Zongnan if Sister Cai had said anything about where she was going.
Liao Zongnan thought calmly, "When Xue Zhilan came to see her the day before yesterday, he seemed to be in a hurry and his expression was not very good. After Yunyan went out to chat with him for a while, she packed up her coat and bag and said she was going out, and then left in a hurry with him
That’s all. That’s all I said, nothing else.”
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask again: "What about before? Was it related to my uncle?"
Liao Zongnan was a little embarrassed and whispered: "She just said lightly that he was her former childhood sweetheart brother and the man she wanted to marry. But fate twisted them and they were forced to separate. When she met me, she was about the age of
She is already a little old. In addition to reading and studying, another reason is that she is waiting for him. Thirty years have passed and her hair has become gray when we meet again. She smiled and said that no matter how heartbroken she was in the past, we would never meet again.
Even seeing each other is indifferent, time can heal everything."
"Since I said this, Sister Cai is relieved." Xue Ling whispered.
Liao Zongnan's face darkened slightly and his tone was a little harsh, "Xue Zhilan shouldn't have been so entangled with her. He came to look for her many times and even took her away for three days and two nights! If it weren't for Yan'er, he and Xiao
Regarding your relationship with Xue, I should have changed my attitude long ago!"
Xue Ling rolled his eyes and asked anxiously: "Has my uncle looked for Sister Cai many times?"
"Yeah." Liao Zongnan nodded firmly: "As far as I know, it was only two or three times. He recognized my home address."
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.
The door opened, and Father Xue and Uncle San walked in with solemn faces.
The ones who came in behind were Xue Heng and Chen.
Chen's eyes were red, her hair was messy, and she looked very embarrassed.
