In the evening, the sky was grey and not yet dark, but it started to rain.

The gentle rain weaved in a dense and slanted pattern. The street lights and the landscape lights in front of the hospital made a mist-like Halo, which was printed on the windowpanes. It was hazy and looked very beautiful.

Qiao man and Wen Cheng chatted for the whole afternoon. Miraculously, the two of them got along very well and were very comfortable with each other. They did not look like they had just met.

In fact, they even felt like they had met late.

The two of them chatted for a while more, and inevitably, they talked about each other’s parents. However, as they chatted, Qiao man noticed that Wen Cheng’s expression was starting to look a little sad, and it was getting more and more intense.

“What’s wrong? Are you homesick? ”

She was only twenty years old, and she had left her hometown and was alone. It was normal for her to be homesick.

Wen Cheng shook her head. Her long hair fluttered slightly as she moved. Under the light above her head, her exquisite facial features became more and more profound. “No, I just, just… I miss my mother a little! ”

“Then stop acting like a child and hurry back to America! ”

In Qiao Man’s opinion, homesickness was the same as missing her mother.

However, what she did not know was that Wen Cheng’s mother had passed away when she was ten years old.

“even if I go back to America, I won’t be able to see my mother! ”

Wen Cheng stood up and walked to the window. She reached out to wipe away the mist on the window. Then, she looked out through the window. She could only see the blue and Purple Mountains and the shadows of the trees under the heavy sky.

“My mother passed away when I was ten years old. There’s someone else now, Mrs. Wen. ”

Qiao man did not expect that this would trigger her sadness, so she got out of bed and stood beside her. Her watery eyes looked out of the window. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know. ”

“It’s okay. ”

Wen Cheng smiled, but she was crying “It was the same rainy day that day. Dad was socializing, and only mom and I were at home. I really wanted to eat dumplings, but there were no dumplings at home. The maid asked for leave, and mom had no choice but to drive to the supermarket because of me. Then… she never came back. ”

“I heard that her car collided with a truck. She was crushed into a bloody mess, and her face was beyond recognition… ”

She raised her hand and casually wiped away the tears on her face. “about three weeks later, my father married again. ”

“sometimes, I often think, why can’t he wait Their relationship was clearly so good, but… … I didn’t dare to ask, and I couldn’t bring myself to ask. I didn’t expect to endure it for so many years. I think this question will probably never be answered.”

Apart from the person involved, who else could explain love clearly?

Qiao Man’s lips curled into a bitter smile. When she thought of her parents, her eyes reddened as well.

Wen Cheng pointed at the distant mountain range and said in an ethereal voice, “man man, my mother is buried there. But it’s been more than ten years, and I haven’t gone to see her once. I don’t dare to go, much less see her. ”

At this point, she paused for a moment and turned to look at Qiao man beside her. “Man man, I want to go and see her. Can you accompany me? Because tomorrow will be the anniversary of her death. ”

It was no wonder that she would break down as she chatted. If it was her, she probably wouldn’t be as strong as her.

“Okay! ” Qiao man nodded and said calmly, “I’ll accompany you. ”

…

When Zhang Sao finished preparing dinner and took a taxi to the hospital, it was already six o’clock in the afternoon.

She pushed open the door of the ward. The lights were not turned on inside. She adapted to the dark light for a while and was afraid that Qiao man was sleeping, so she called her name softly.

“Man man, are you asleep? Dinner is ready. You can sleep after you eat. ”

Zhang Sao walked to the bedside and found that the quilt on the bed was folded neatly and there was no one on it.

She put the insulated lunch box on the cabinet by the bedside and thought that Qiao man had gone to the bathroom, so she sat by the bedside and waited.

Five minutes passed, and Zhang Sao frowned. Ten minutes passed, and Zhang Sao frowned. Twenty minutes passed, and Zhang Sao finally could not sit still.

She took out her phone and dialed Qiao Man’s phone number first, but the other party indicated that she was not in the service area.

Afraid that something might go wrong, she hurriedly dialed Ji Yunshen’s number again.

The beeping sounded for about two times before the other side picked up. When Zhang Sao Heard Ji Yunshen’s voice, she hurriedly said anxiously, “young master, have you contacted man man this afternoon? She’s not here when I sent her dinner. I don’t know where she went. ”

Ji Yunshen was called back to the JI residence by his grandmother because of Ji Han’s matter. He thought that it would be over in about two hours, but the time exceeded his expectations, so he sent Qiao man a message, telling her not to wait for him. He would arrive later.

But what did Zhang Sao mean by saying that she was not in the ward?

“Go to the nurses’ station and ask them if they saw it. I’m heading to the hospital right now. I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes. ”

The distance from the JI residence to the city hospital was not considered close. It would take about half an hour to drive, and it would take fifteen minutes to get there. Was She flying by car?

Of course, she would not say it out loud. She was just doing her job to look for Qiao Man.

The staff at the nurses’station said that they did not see Qiao man, so she went to the rooftop and the restaurant to search again, but she still could not find her.

When she returned to the ward, Ji Yunshen had arrived. His well-ironed suit was drenched by the rain, and he looked a little dispirited and disheveled.

“Young Master, I’ve looked for the nurse station at Tiantai restaurant, but there’s no one there. ”

Ji Yunshen’s eyebrows jumped, and he reached out to tug at his tie. “okay, I got it. You can go back first! ”

After Zhang Sao left, he asked the hospital staff to pull up the surveillance footage and found that Qiao man had left the hospital together with Wen Cheng.

He took out his phone and was about to call Meng Dongxing’s number when the door to the surveillance room was suddenly pushed open. The tall figure of the man was cut into a dark shadow by the light knife in the corridor, and it was somewhat difficult to see him clearly.

“where’s Wen Cheng? ”

Meng Dongxing’s eyes were full of gloom, but his tone was still calm and emotionless. “She stayed in Qiao Man’s ward for the whole afternoon, but just now, the bodyguard told me that she was missing. It’s impossible for her to walk around under the eyes of my bodyguard. ”

So, he thought that he was the one who had captured Wen Cheng?

“For a Pearl Necklace, I’m not so weak that I need to lay my hands on a woman. ”

Ji Yunshen’s denial made Meng Dongxing’s face turn darker. “Ji Yunshen, where does your wife usually like to go? Or tell me which of her close friends she has so that I can check them out. ”

“She wouldn’t have disappeared with Wen Cheng for no reason, unless… they were taken away together. ”

Although the possibility was very small, it was not impossible.

Ji Yunshen pulled up the video again and watched every frame. After watching for a while, he seemed to have found something. “Come and take a look. What is Wen Cheng holding in her hand? ”

“It’s a tribute. Oh No, she went to the cemetery. ”

On the highway in the middle of the night, the smoke-gray Bentley passed through the heavy rain and sped forward.

The rain was heavy, crackling on the windshield, the wipers swinging from side to side, and beyond the fanned area, there seemed to be endless darkness.
