In the office, Lin Zhou was in a daze holding the crumpled card, and even Fu Mocong and Sun Yi didn't notice when they came in.
"Stop looking, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Sun Yi took the photo in his hand and put it aside.
"bad news."
Lin Zhou took the photo that was put aside and put it away. Sun Yi glanced at Fu Mocong, who nodded and stepped forward.
"The Sima Factory you went to before, Sun Yi came back and told me that I sent people to check again and found an entrance to the basement under a very inconspicuous big box. When they went down, there was no one inside, but There are obvious signs that someone has lived there, and there is an open handcuff on the ground... "
"I see, what's the good news."
Lin Zhou interrupted Fu Mocong and asked again.
"The good news is..."
Fu Mocong looked at Sun Yi.
"Mo Cong asked his friend from the traffic police to find out the license plate number you told me about. The owner of the car is Wang Ruonan, and..."
Sun Yi stopped and smiled on his face.
"And what?"
Seeing his smile, Lin Zhou knew that he must have found something, and he was a little excited.
"Moreover, Mo Cong's friend just called and said that he saw the car appear in the sky. Through zooming in, he saw two people in the car. He has been checking his route based on the direction."
"Quick! Take me there!"
Lin Zhou suddenly regained his energy, stood up and dragged the two people away.
"Hey! Wait, wait, wait! Look what time it is! He has already got off work."
Fu Mocong paused for a moment and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Lin Zhou looked at the clock on the wall and was stunned for a long time before saying anything.
"Why...it's so late."
"Okay, don't worry, it's okay. Let's go home first and go there tomorrow morning."
Sun Yi said comfortingly.
Lin Zhou froze there for a long, long time, so long that the two of them thought he was dead. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Zhou spoke first.
"go home."
"Um???"
Before the two of them could react, Lin Zhou had already walked to the door.
"I'm going to lock the door, come out quickly."
Sun Yi and Fu Mocong hurried out and watched as the door of Linzhou Bar's office closed before the three of them returned home together.
In the evening, after Lin Zhou took a shower, he leaned against the bed and lit a cigarette in a daze.
Tan Zihe has been missing for a week, and only then there is some news. He never thought something like this would happen. From the car accident to now, he would rather he bear these injuries alone.
He wanted to do his best to protect Tan Zihe, but he didn't expect that he would be hurt so much.
He hadn't had a good sleep at all in the past few days. Tan Zihe was not here, the bed was empty, and his heart was also empty. He didn't want to sleep at all. Sometimes he would rather go to the small sofa in the study to sleep on it. Lying on the bed, he felt like he couldn't sleep well without Tan Zihe.
"I will definitely rescue you."
Lin Zhou looked at the empty bed next to him and muttered to himself.
… … … … … … … …
Tan Zihe slept very unsteadily at night, and it took him a long time to adapt to this strange place when he woke up several times. Even though it was very comfortable, it always made him feel empty.
When he woke up for the third time, the sky outside had become slightly brighter. Tan Zihe simply stopped sleeping and sat up holding the pillow.
"Zhou...I remember it so much."
Tan Zihe muttered, his nose was sore and he wanted to cry. He wanted to touch the ring on his finger out of habit, but found that it was missing. He was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that his ring was missing. His hands were handcuffed So he didn't care whether the ring existed.
Tan Zihe remembered when the ring disappeared. He got up and got out of bed and started rummaging around. He held on to a glimmer of hope that the ring had not fallen off until he arrived here. After a search, there was no result. Tan Zihe seemed to have lost his temper. The deflated ball suddenly collapsed in the corner.
He was still sitting there all morning until the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in to deliver breakfast.
"Mr. Tan...breakfast is brought to you."
The butler put the dinner plate on the table, looked at Tan Zihe in the corner and said.
Tan Zihe looked up at the housekeeper and then at the breakfast on the table and asked
"Butler, have you seen my ring?"
The housekeeper was stunned and thought for a long time before answering.
"Sorry, Mr. Tan, I didn't see it, but you can tell me the style of the ring and I can help you find it."
"No need to bother, thank you."
Tan Zihe forced a smile and shook his head.
"If there's nothing else to do, I'll go out first."
"um. Thank you."
After the butler left, Tan Zihe started to feel dazed. The ring was gone, which felt like half of the sky had fallen to him.
I don't know how much time passed before Wang Ruonan opened the door and walked in wearing pajamas. As soon as he came in, he saw Tan Zihe sitting in the corner, stunned.
"Why don't you sleep in a bed and go to the corner to sleep?"
Wang Ruonan walked over and sat down on the bed, looking at Tan Zihe in the corner and said.
"Have you... seen my ring?"
Tan Zihe looked at him and asked.
"What ring? I didn't see it."
Wang Ruonan shook his head.
"Really?"
Tan Zihe thought he was lying and asked again.
"It's fun for me to lie to you."
Wang Ruonan was unhappy that he didn't believe him.
Tan Zihe hugged his knees with his hands and huddled together, lowering his head and not speaking.
"What ring is missing? Could it make you like this?"
Wang Ruonan was confused, but then realized that it must have been sent by Lin Zhou, otherwise why would he be so sad.
"You can't see things well. You really don't take it seriously. If I were Lin Zhou, I would have dumped you a long time ago. People like you can just have fun."
Wang Ruonan began to sarcastically mock him again. If he couldn't keep Lin Zhou, he might as well start with Tan Zihe. He thought that no matter how tough a person was, he couldn't stand being verbally humiliated for a long time.
Tan Zihe still buried his head in silence, and Wang Ruonan continued to be sarcastic. He said almost all the words he could think of, but after finishing speaking, Tan Zihe still ignored him.
"Hey, you didn't fall asleep, did you?"
Wang Ruonan stepped forward and kicked him, and Tan Zihe looked up and glared at him angrily.
"Oh, you still have a temper. I thought you would cry."
Wang Ruonan continued to be sarcastic.
"get out."
Tan Zihe's voice was low, he was really angry.
"Huh...interesting."
Wang Ruonan's voice was still so harsh and harsh.
"you go!"
Tan Zihe almost roared.
"I still heard about my temper. I won't argue with you, uncle, but you will still be punished."
Wang Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, took Tan Zihe's untouched breakfast on the table and left.
The housekeeper didn't come to deliver food for a whole day, and Tan Zihe also understood what the punishment Wang Ruonan was talking about was.
… … … … … … …
Lin Zhou went to knock on Sun Yi and Fu Mocong's door at around five o'clock in the morning. He finally opened the door and saw a sleepy-looking Fu Mocong staring at him fiercely.
"Boss, it's only five o'clock. It's too early. They don't go to work until eight o'clock. Please be kind and let us take a nap."
Lin Zhou looked at his sleepy expression and hesitated for a moment, then said
"Six-thirty, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After Fu Mocong finished speaking, he closed the door, leaving an anxious Lin Zhou outside.
"He's going to die. That Wang Ruonan is really a killer with a thousand cuts."
Fu Mocong complained and lay back on the bed.
"Okay, if it were you, I would do the same."
Sun Yi turned over and put his arms and legs on Fu Mocong's body.
Fu Mocong, who originally wanted to take a nap, became more and more awake.
"My uncle's."
Fu Mocong couldn't help but curse. He looked at Sun Yi next to him, hesitated for a moment and still pressed on him.
"What are you doing if you don't sleep?"
Sun Yi was awakened by the weight of the surprise attack and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Fuck you."
Fu Mocong said and went to unbutton his pajamas. It was still early anyway.
"You're crazy... um..."
Sun Yi's lips were sealed before he finished speaking...
