After that, he didn't like studying anymore, but fell in love with a fool. He didn't continue to hang out outside, but went back to school to study, hoping to get into the same university as her.
Liang Bowen came back from his distraction and saw Qiao Nian frowning as she flipped through the address book. He said nonchalantly, "Sister Nian, don't worry too much. I don't think Chen Yuan is the kind of person who can't figure it out. When Old Shen called, he might not have picked up his phone and didn't answer the call."
Qiao Nian didn't stop, he found Chen Yuan's phone number and called him.
“Beep…”
The call went through the first time, but after a few rings, no one answered.
She was not discouraged and called again.
This time I couldn’t get through, the phone was turned off.
A mechanical female voice came from her phone: "Sorry, the user you dialed is powered off. We will inform the other party via text message later. Please..."
Qiao Nian hung up the phone, his brows becoming serious.
Liang Bowen was right beside her, so he was naturally dumbfounded when he saw her call go through for the first time and shut down the second time. He froze in place, murmuring worriedly, "No way, is there really something wrong?"
A shadow loomed over Qiao Nian's heart. Her slender fingertips slid back and forth on the screen, and she was wondering whether she should send a message to Aunt Chen to ask.
The phone suddenly lit up.
It’s Aunt Chen calling.
Qiao Nian's eyebrows began to twitch.
A bad thought filled my mind.
She walked to the corner of the corridor and answered Aunt Chen's phone call. Her voice was hoarse: "Hello, Aunt."
"Niannian, are you circling the city?" Aunt Chen's voice sounded anxious, and she looked panic-stricken: "Chen Yuan is missing."
Qiao Nian knew what was going on, but her heart sank when she heard her say that. She tapped her phone with her fingers bent, suppressed the anger in her eyes, and spoke slowly: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, why did Chen Yuan disappear?"
Aunt Chen briefly explained what had happened.
Actually, it was nothing. It was just that the night before yesterday, when Chen Yuan was helping her set up the stall after school, the thugs who had been to their stall before came again. In order to stop them from causing trouble, Chen Yuan left with them. Before leaving, he told her that he was just chatting with friends and would be back soon. But when she closed the stall and went back that night, she didn't see Chen Yuan come back.
Later she called Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan kept telling her that everything was fine and that she shouldn't worry and that he would be back soon.
It wasn't until she called Chen Yuan just like Qiao Nian and found out his phone was turned off that she started to panic.
They didn't know anyone in the ring city, and apart from He Yujuan, they only knew Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian has always been mature and calm beyond her age. Many times, she trusted Qiao Nian as her spiritual pillar, so when something happened, her first reaction was to talk to Qiao Nian.
In fact, it is not necessary for Qiao Nian to help solve the problem. The main reason is that when people are panicked, they always want to find a backbone, otherwise they will become more anxious.
Aunt Chen was very anxious at the moment. Her husband had been lying in bed for several years, and her son suddenly disappeared. No one could calm down. She asked Qiao Nian in a panic, "Niannian, is Chen Yuan going to fool around with those people again?"
Chen Yuan had a criminal record, but he gave up his studies and chose to go out into society.
If Qiao Nian hadn't pulled him back, he would still be struggling in society.
Aunt Chen was the first to suspect that he had returned to his old ways, and that he no longer wanted to study hard but wanted to take the wrong path.
Qiao Nian replied without thinking: "No. He said he would get into a good university."
"Then he..."
Aunt Chen was upset, her mind was a mess, and she couldn't figure out where Chen Yuan had gone.
