"What? Don't you recognize me?"
"Sister Xiaotian?! Is it really you?! Why did you come to Huacheng?" Mu Yu hugged Yin Xiaotian and screamed in disbelief.
"Come to the branch here to take care of some things. I happened to be free at noon today, so I came here to see you." Yin Xiaotian grabbed her shoulders and sighed softly, "Xiaoyu, why are your eyes so bloodshot? Your face doesn't look like that. Great, isn’t the workload here too heavy?”
"Do you look bad?" Mu Yu asked himself, covering his face with his hands.
"Your face is not as rosy as before. Mr. Qin doesn't really know how to take care of others, right?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Xiaotian pursed her lips and looked nervously into the hotel.
Understanding the look in her eyes, Mu Yu explained with a chuckle: "He is not here, he has returned to Ancheng."
"Oh, it turns out that this is the reason why you look so bad. I wrongly blamed Mr. Qin." Yin Xiaotian covered her mouth and chuckled, "Fortunately, Mr. Qin didn't hear it, otherwise you would have blamed me for slandering him. Xiaoyu, are you going to Going out?"
"Well, get ready to go out and do some errands."
"Oh, what a coincidence?" Yin Xiaotian looked disappointed, "It's rare that I have nothing to do at noon today. I originally wanted to surprise you and ask you to have lunch together. We haven't eaten together for a long time."
Just as Mu Yu was about to speak, Cheng Xiang's car stopped beside her. She looked at her watch and asked Yin Xiaotian if she could accompany her to do errands first and then have dinner together at noon.
Yin Xiaotian thought for a while and asked her to go do the errands first: "Call me after you finish the errands."
"How about you wait for me at the hotel? I'll come here to find you after I finish my work." Mu Yu said while taking out the room card.
"No, then I'll do something else first. The company assigned me a car, which is very convenient."
Because she was familiar with her, Mu Yu didn't force herself and waved to her: "Okay, I'll contact you later."
"Is Miss Yin coming to Huacheng for vacation?" Cheng Xiang interrupted as he rolled down the glass.
Mu Yu explained for Yin Xiaotian while opening the door: "No, Sister Xiaotian came to the branch to handle something."
Cheng Xiang was surprised: "Qingtian still has a branch in Huacheng?!"
"It's not Qingtian's branch," Yin Xiaotian hurriedly answered, "it's Yongyi's branch."
After speaking, he looked at Mu Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, I forgot to tell you that I resigned from Qingtian a few days ago."
"Resigned?" Mu Yu immediately darkened his face, "Is someone in Qingtian making things difficult for you? Who is it? Tell..."
"No, no, the people in Qingtian are very good to me, especially Mr. Qin, who takes special care of me. I resigned not because of them, but because of myself." Yin Xiaotian sighed, "To be precise, you also Because of Brother Han, he has been eager for me to go to Yongyi to help him. Because I don’t want to live in his shadow, I have always refused to leave Qingtian. This time he injured his hand and it was inconvenient to go to work in the company. He used the excuse of not trusting me to leave the company to someone else to take care of it, so he forced me to go back to Yongyi. In fact, his company was managed in an orderly manner and everything was running smoothly. It didn't matter if he didn't go to the company every few days. No, he asked me to come back. He asked Yongyi to go to work, and there was nothing for me to do, so I sat in his office for two days, which almost made me choke. I saw something was wrong with the Huacheng branch yesterday, so I took the initiative to come here. ”
Seeing the look of grievance on Yin Xiaotian's face, Mu Yu quickly comforted her: "Brother Yihan did this out of concern for you, because he was afraid that you would be annoyed and hurt while working outside."
Then she laughed again, "Everyone wants to be the boss's wife, so why don't you leave the good boss's wife alone and go out to be a working girl?"
Her words made Yin Xiaotian laugh, and Yin Xiaotian gently poked her forehead: "Don't just talk about me, aren't you different? It's inappropriate to leave a good young lady alone and come to such a far place to suffer and take risks. It's okay if your eyes are red. Xiao, it will be a big deal if your personal safety is not guaranteed. By the way, you won't encounter any danger later, right?"
"Thank you, Sister Xiaotian, for your concern. I'm fine, not a hair is missing." Mu Yu smiled and moved her body to show that she was safe and sound.
After Yin Xiaotian stared at her carefully and made sure that she was really okay, he took her hand and shook his head and sighed: "It's okay. You don't know that when your brother Yihan told me the reason why his hand was injured, I My legs were so scared that I immediately wanted to persuade you to come back. However, I heard from Yihan that President Qin had also come to Huacheng, so I didn't call you because I knew that President Qin would be able to protect you anyway. Pay attention to safety and protect yourself!”
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaotian, I will definitely protect myself. Let me tell you a secret. In fact, I am very afraid of death."
Yin Xiaotian immediately shook his head at her, pretending to be angry: "Yes, yes, don't say anything about death, I don't like to hear it."
"Okay, okay, then I... Oops! I forgot about the real thing again while we were chatting. Sister Xiaotian, don't talk anymore. I have to go and get busy. If you are late, it will delay our lunch time."
"Go quickly, go quickly," Yin Xiaotian waved to her and warned, "Pay attention to safety."
"Well, Sister Xiaotian, you should also pay attention to safety when driving." Mu Yu said as he got in the car.
"Yes. Remember to call."
Mu Yu nodded and waved.
The car slowly drove towards the avenue outside the hotel. She lay on the car window and looked back at Yin Xiaotian. When she saw Yin Xiaotian got into a white Buick parked not far away and started the car quickly, she felt relieved and waited for the car. After turning a corner and seeing Yin Xiaotian's car no longer in sight, she sat upright.
There were not many cars traveling on the road at this time, and the journey was smooth. Half an hour later, Cheng Xiang drove the car to the gate of the flea market.
Weng Yun had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw their car, he came over immediately.
"Young mistress, I have found all the people you want to see, and they are all in the store over there."
Mu Yu nodded and followed him to the private room of a small teahouse not far away.
There were five middle-aged men standing in the box. When they saw Mu Yu and others coming in, they all straightened up subconsciously, with a look of fear on their faces.
Guessing that Weng Yun's aura frightened them, Mu Yu hurriedly explained his intention to come to them with a smile.
"Six or seven years ago, when Li Jianyun was driving for others at the flea market, he often played 4k with a few of us. Well, 4k is a card game in Huacheng, played by four players." With the recommendation of several men, The short man closest to Mu Yu spoke up, "We are very addicted to playing cards. It is common for us to play until midnight. If we gather four people who won't leave the car the next day, we will sometimes play until dawn. Li Jianyun is just as addicted to poker as we are, but because he is lazy and always has money, he spends most of his time standing around watching us play with nothing in his pocket.”
"Sometimes he can watch it all night." The tall and lanky man next to the short man added.
"Yes, sometimes he can watch all night. We often joke that he stood in the water all night." Seeing Mu Yu's confused expression, the short man quickly explained, "Standing in the water all night is the Huacheng dialect, which means It was a waste of time. Every time he faced our ridicule, he didn't get angry, and he laughed and joked that he couldn't sleep without a woman to hold him, so it would be better to watch people playing cards. As for your question.
One winter night six years ago, he didn't go back until early in the morning. We really can't remember this because it was too long. "
The tall and lanky man added: "The main reason is that we used to play until early in the morning and we didn't know which night you were asking about. Besides, when we were in the mood, we only paid attention to the people at the card table and often ignored the people around us. There are people standing watching, because he is not the only one watching, there are often people at one table playing, two tables or even more watching.”
"Besides, even if we knew which night he played late with us, we wouldn't pay attention to where he would go after leaving the lounge."
Their words made Mu Yu a little depressed. She asked a few more questions in succession, but found that she couldn't find any useful clues. She let them go with great disappointment.
"Young mistress, what should we do now?" Weng Yun asked her for instructions.
"You can continue to investigate. Cheng Xiang and I will go back first."
I wanted to try to see if I could make any new discoveries, but I didn't expect that I didn't find anything at all. I was completely unable to do anything. Mu Yu left the teahouse in a depressed manner and prepared to go back.
At this time, her cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Rong Jian, she quickly answered the call.
"Sister-in-law, good news! Good news!" Rong Jian changed his usual calmness and politeness and shouted as soon as the call was connected, "Xiao Xia's identity has been found!"
"Really?!" Every cell in Mu Yu's body was shocked. "Where is she from? What is her name? Who else is there in the family?"
"Her surname is Ling! Ling who picks up her pen at two o'clock of water! Ling who is messy and late in the morning! Her name is Ling Xiaoxia. She is from Qingyuan County, Huacheng City. The household registration information shows that she also has a brother named Ling Xiaodong."
"Oh my God!"
It matches the first three strokes of the blood character left by Li Jianyun!
Mu Yu was so excited that she stamped her feet, "Then where is her brother now?"
"It's not clear yet, I'm investigating. Sister-in-law, after I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go to Lingjia Village, Qingyuan County in the afternoon to learn more about the situation and see if I can find anything."
"I will go with you!"
"I heard that the road conditions in Qingyuan County are very bad, and most of them are winding mountain roads, which are not very safe. You'd better not go there. Just wait for my news in Huacheng."
Mu Yu refused: "Your life is more valuable than mine. You are not afraid of danger. What should I be afraid of?"
Rong Jian was suddenly embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, Ah Huan told me many times before he left, asking me to take good care of you. You had a bumpy day yesterday, and if you have another bumpy day today, your body will definitely not be able to bear it. Sister-in-law, you will stay here temporarily. Just rest in the hotel and I’ll call you next time if I have other tasks.”
"But… "
"I heard that Gong Lilan also went to Qingyuan. Xiaofan had already gone to Qingyuan early in the morning to find her and her mother. I will go to Qingyuan to meet him in the afternoon. There is no need for so many manpower there. Sister-in-law, please stay at the hotel in case there is another one. How about people as enthusiastic as Boss Zou and his wife come to provide clues? Don’t miss any important clues! How about I call you as soon as there is any new progress?”
Rong Jian said this, knowing that he would definitely not take him to Qingyuan, so Mu Yu had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, let's just say it. I'll take care of the matter at hand. I'll contact you if there is any new situation." After Rong Jian finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Let's go back to the hotel." Mu Yu reluctantly put the phone back into his pocket.
"Young lady, please wait! Look over there!" Cheng Xiang suddenly blocked her way and motioned her to look not far away, "She has been following us!"
