Nearly half of the people in the castle were gone.
The fountain water was reflected in the sunlight. Feng De got out of the car and walked in quickly, bypassing the winding corridor, and walked into the living room.
The heating is on here like spring.
The glazed lamps are beautiful.
A slender figure was sitting on the sofa. Her long black skirt made her look even thinner. Her feet were bare on the ground, one of which was wrapped in gauze.
As soon as he saw her, Feng De couldn't help but frown.
Shi Xiaonian was sitting on the sofa. Her bare face looked slightly sunken and extremely thin. She held the antique telephone receiver and listened to Lian Luo Qi's accusations against her on the phone.
Luo Qi cried while cursing.
"Why can't I find Gong Ou after sending out so many manpower and material resources? The kidnapping case has turned into a disappearance case again. No matter what happens to me, I must find Gong Ou! Otherwise, you won't have a good life either. !”
Luo Qi cried and cursed and hung up the phone.
“…”
When the phone call came down, Shi Xiaonian didn't say a word and just sat there.
She sat there for a long time before putting the receiver back stiffly, her eyes looking straight ahead without focus.
"Miss Xi, we still haven't found any information."
Feng De stood in front of Shi Xiaonian and said.
Over the past five days, every time he saw Shi Xiaonian, he would say this sentence again.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian sat silently.
A maid came over carrying a tray with steaming food. When Feng De saw this, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xi, you haven't eaten again."
In the past five days, Shi Xiaonian only slept once. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he put several sleeping pills in the milk before she fell asleep.
The food is even less delicious.
People lose weight very quickly.
"Feng Guanjia." Shi Xiaonian sat there, looking at the ground blankly, "Why do you think I have to park the car?"
“…”
Feng De frowned. He had heard this sentence said by Xiao Nian many times in the past few days.
"I obviously felt very bad that day and always thought something would happen, but I went to park the car. If I had stayed there, nothing would have happened to Gong Ou." Shi Xiaonian said, as if talking to himself.
"Miss Xi, this has nothing to do with you. The young master has some skills, but he was taken away by that commercial vehicle."
Feng De said.
"Why should I park the car? I shouldn't have to."
Shi Xiaonian seemed not to hear, and continued to murmur, describing being thin.
She didn't believe in kidnapping. She thought Gong Ou was just too sad and needed to hide from the crowd for a while.
But it’s been five days, five whole days.
She didn't believe he was willing to leave her alone for five days, he wouldn't.
Something must have happened to him, but she couldn't even imagine what could happen to him.
Feng De knelt down in front of Shi Xiaonian with a frown, stared at Shi Xiaonian and said, "Miss Xi, please don't do this. If you fall down like this, how will I explain to the young master when he comes back?"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's eyelashes trembled slightly and she looked down at him, "Don't worry, I won't fall. I won't let Butler Feng support this situation alone."
She won't fall.
Because she still has to wait for Gong Ou to come back.
"It's good that Miss Xi can think like this. The master and his wife stayed behind closed doors before, but now that the master is missing, they will send someone over soon as soon as the media exposes it." Feng De said, "I'm afraid Miss Xi will eat some No matter what, I will protect you for the young master."
"I know." Shi Xiaonian nodded.
"So you must cheer up and eat as much as possible."
Feng De said.
Shi Xiaonian was not too stubborn and nodded. He took a bowl of white rice from the maid's hand and moved the rice to his mouth with chopsticks. There was no sound at all. He just chewed it a few times and swallowed it. What does it taste like? Didn't even taste it.
Feng De stood up from the ground and said, "Then I'll go get busy."
Shi Xiaonian looked at his figure and asked, "Butler Feng, has the money been spent again?"
Gong Ou has not signed any legal documents before, and they are not married yet. Now she cannot touch his assets without permission.
Finding someone is a matter that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. The money is urgent. No one from the Gong family has been sent yet. All the money currently used belongs to Shi Xiaonian and Feng De.
Shi Xiaonian had used up all the money he could use.
"Money is a trivial matter. Miss Xi, I still have a few properties under my name. It just so happens that this year is also bad, so I took the opportunity to take them away." Feng Deyun said calmly.
"don't want."
Shi Xiaonian immediately refused, stood up from the sofa, handed the dishes to the maid, and said, "I have packed the jewelry and some clothes and bags, and someone will come to handle it soon. It's cash." Settlement. If it’s not enough, Tianzhigang has two houses in my name that can be resold immediately.”
One set was bought for her by Gong Ou, and the other set was bought by the Xi family.
"Jewelry?" Feng De was shocked, "Those were bought for you by the young master."
"It's okay." Shi Xiaonian raised her hand, the diamond ring on her ring finger shining brightly, "This is enough for me, the rest can be sold."
"Miss Xi..."
"Before the people from the Gong family arrive, I think the money is enough to support me, and I can't touch the capital of the housekeeper. You go ahead, I know there are many hurdles waiting for you to clear, leave the money matter to me. As soon as I get the cash, I will take it to you." Shi Xiaonian said.
"Okay, Miss Xi."
Feng De nodded, turned around and walked out.
Shi Xiaonian stood in the center of the living room, looking down at the ring on her ring finger. Her eyes were red, but no tears fell.
She knew that Gong Ou would come back sooner or later.
So she won't cry.
Tears are the most useless thing.
"Miss Xi, you have only had a few bites, please eat some more." The maid walked up to her and persuaded her.
"I'm full. I'm going to count the jewelry."
Shi Xiaonian said calmly and walked to a nearby hall. In the hall, servants were packing jewelry, bags and other things. There were many jewelry inside that she had never worn before.
Seeing her coming, the servants raised their heads and looked at her with some sympathy in their eyes.
Without the young master, the entire Gong family has reached its most precarious stage. It is really pitiful for Miss Xi to be so thin and in her current condition.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and looked at the jewelry, and suddenly remembered the scene when Gong Ou gave her a ring for the first time. She didn't want it, and Gong Ou just threw it away.
An arrogant man.
Always so crazy.
So she believed that no one could trap him. No matter if someone kidnapped him or he encountered some accident, he would come back.
"Miss Xi, someone is here."
Feng De goes and comes back.
Shi Xiaonian turned her eyes and saw Feng De walking in with a dozen men in suits. All of those men had bright eyes, some had bruises on their faces, or long wounds on their hands. It looks a bit ferocious.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Feng De in confusion. Feng De pointed to the blue-eyed man in the lead and said, "This is Peter, the young master's man."
"Is there any news about Gong Ou?"
Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt happy.
Hearing this, those people lowered their heads. The leader, Peter, looked at Shi Xiaonian and sighed, "I'm afraid, we didn't bring good news to Miss Xi."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stood there, savoring his words carefully, thinking about each word. Then the jewelry box she just picked up fell from her hands, and a pair of sapphire earrings fell to the ground.
She now resists all bad news.
real.
Shi Xiaonian led them into Gong Ou's study. She felt that her legs were a little weak, so she sat in front of the desk, where Gong Ou would have sat.
"boom."
The moment she sat down, the dozen men knelt down towards her, put their hands on their knees, and lowered their heads towards her.
It's all a sign of apology.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at them blankly. If she hadn't been sitting down, she would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
Feng De motioned to her several times.
Shi Xiaonian didn't even speak, she just sat there stupidly. She really wanted to choose not to listen, and wanted to deceive herself.
After a long time, she finally spoke, "Tell me what's going on."
No matter how bad it is, it's nothing more than that.
But if that's the case, what should she do? If Gong Ou really left her, what could she do
"When Miss Xi and Mr. Gong broke up, Mr. Gong ordered us to investigate Miss Xi's life experience." Peter knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "At that time, we began to infiltrate the Xi family."
"Are you going to talk about the Xi family?"
Shi Xiaonian suddenly understood.
They were not here for Gong Ou's affairs, and she was relieved immediately. She would rather Gong Ou had no news than hear bad news.
"Yes." Peter nodded, "It was later found out that Mr. Gong didn't transfer us, so we continued to stay at Xi's house. Some time ago, Mr. Xi was arrested at the border, and Mr. Gong ordered us to investigate Mr. Xi secretly. whereabouts."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned. It turned out that Gong Ou had returned to China to repair the loopholes in the NE system and had not forgotten to send someone to rescue her father.
No wonder he said he was tired.
He has so many things to think about and is so busy. He has to do everything by himself. How can he not be tired
No matter how strong a person is, he has a fragile side.
"Just two days ago, we found out that Mr. Xi's arrest was just a cover and that Mr. Xi was secretly imprisoned," Peter said.
"What?"
Shi Xiaonian stood up in shock.
The father was not arrested but imprisoned? Imprisoned by whom
"Mr. Gong was already missing at that time, and we couldn't report it to him. Knowing that Mr. Gong's ultimate intention was to rescue, we took it upon ourselves to rescue people." Peter knelt on the ground, paused, buried his head lower, and spoke apologetically, " However, the secret prison, which does not seem to be strict, is surrounded by layers of people. We failed to save Mr. Chen, so we came here to apologize."
Shi Xiaonian stood there, her lips trembling and her voice stuttered, "What, what do you mean, failed to rescue?"
Hearing this, a group of people knocked their heads to the ground, "We feel sorry for Miss Xi. During the rescue process, Mr. Xi was shot to death by random gunshots, and there were only twelve of us left to fight our way back." (To be continued)
