The taxi driver only heard the nice voice of the girl in the back seat. She was wearing a baseball cap. He took a peek at her in the rearview mirror but couldn't see her face clearly.
He pressed the meter, answered the call, turned the car around and drove towards Tsinghua University.
…
The taxi drove smoothly on the road.
Qiao Nian opened the car window to let the wind from outside blow in.
He lowered his eyes, took out his cell phone from his pocket and turned it on.
A lot of messages popped up on the phone.
She didn't read any of the messages, but found WeChat and opened it.
The first contact on WeChat is still silent and no one has replied to her message so far.
She pursed her lips, her eyes darkened, she exited WeChat, and then flipped through her contacts.
Qiao Nian thought about it for about a minute, then dialed the number.
"Beep..."
After the call was connected, the other party did not answer immediately.
Qiao Nian waited very patiently, with her arms folded at her sides and her long legs propped up. She sat in a rather untidy posture and looked a little nonchalant, but her eyes revealed her seriousness.
Quite restrained.
"Beep..."
The phone rang seven or eight times but no one answered. It hung up automatically after a while.
Qiao Nian narrowed his eyes, put the phone away, took a look, and called again without hesitation.
She has noticed since yesterday that a large group of people in Beijing City have been too quiet!
Besides Qin Si looking for her, Zhang Yang would also send her messages from time to time.
But ever since she couldn't contact Ye Wangchuan, the two of them disappeared, never showing up on WeChat or in the group chats.
There has been no news since yesterday.
Forget about Zhang Yang.
It is illogical for a talkative person like Qin Si to suddenly become as quiet as a chicken.
But since Qin Si and the others were avoiding her, Qiao Nian estimated that even if she went to their house, they would not tell her what happened. She was busy with Su Huaiyuan's affairs until one in the morning last night, and found a hotel nearby, and basically did not sleep.
Early in the morning, I rushed back to Beijing from the ring road.
She is not in a very good mood at the moment.
The phone rang about ten times, and just when she thought no one answered, it finally got through.
Qiao Nian supported herself with one arm, her eyes showing a reassuring power, and her voice was steady and powerful: "Hey, Aunt Ye, where are you? I'll come find you."

the other side.
Qin Si and his team are ready to set off.
They waited all night last night but Bo Zheng didn't call back. Even a steady man like Bo Jingxing couldn't keep his cool this time. They discussed it in the morning and decided to rush to Shuangjiang City to take a look, which was better than staying in Beijing and waiting.
Qin Si picked up the person and was about to drive off.
Ye Lan called.
Qin Si answered the phone and said hoarsely, "Hello, Aunt Ye?"
Bo Jingxing and Zhang Yang are going too.
Tang Ning couldn't go because she was a girl and had other things to do.
Everyone sat in their seats, ready to go.
Seeing Qin Si receiving Ye Lan's call, they both looked over.
"Now?" Qin Si put one hand on the steering wheel, rolled down the window, looked at the landmark building on the side of the road and said, "I'm on Chang'an Avenue, next to the shopping mall. We're about to leave... Well, not yet. Bo Jingxing has contacted his third uncle, and he knows we're going there."
I don’t know what Ye Lan said on the other end.
Qin Si's expression showed displeasure: "I see, when will 'he' come over?"
Who did Zhang Yang originally want to ask
But seeing that Qin Si was still on the phone, he was too embarrassed to speak.
