"Xiao Ning, everything is fine at home. You don't have to worry about it. Did you go to the capital with Gu Feng?"
Listening to Zhao Qiufen's concerned inquiry, Ye Ning felt warm in her heart.
In order not to worry her parents, Ye Ning just said "hmm".
"That's good. Your dad and I went to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law a few days ago. They said that you two haven't written or called home for a long time. You can tell Gu Feng later, don't I forgot to call them too." Zhao Qiuben was also worried about her daughter.
"Okay." Ye Ning agreed, but she knew in her heart that she could only make the call.
Zhao Qiufen kept chattering, and Ye Dong shouted twice from time to time.
Finally, under the urging of the village chief, the two reluctantly said goodbye to Ye Ning.
"Xiao Ning, if you are not busy after the new year, come home and visit. Your dad and I miss you."
These were the last words Zhao Qiu Equinox said. After putting down the phone, Ye Ning sat alone in the room, listening to the increasingly deafening sound of firecrackers outside, and her nose suddenly became sour.
It turns out it’s true that we miss our loved ones even more during the festive season.
She hesitated for a while before calling Gu Feng's village.
But this time I was not so lucky. The phone rang for a long time without being answered.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, a day when every family reunites. Naturally, we can't expect that there will still be people in the village brigade so late.
When the call didn't go through, she was relieved, at least she didn't need to lie to her parents-in-law.
Standing up and going to the window, looking at the lights outside, Ye Ning's eyes wandered far, far away...
In the still closed and messy courtyard, a young man excitedly came to Liu Xiezi who was drinking.
"Brother Scorpion, we found the woman!"
Liu Xiezi immediately became energetic. He first glanced at Zheng Quanqiang and Chu Mu who were sitting on the other side, and then used his eyes to signal his younger brother to keep quiet.
The younger brother immediately understood and whispered into Liu Xiezi's ear.
Liu Xiezi's eyes lit up after hearing this.
It really took no effort at all. They didn't expect the beauty to be so close to them!
"Didn't you alarm her?"
"Probably not, but I just don't know when she will leave. If Brother Scorpion wants to do it, he must do it as soon as possible."
The younger brother obviously knew Liu Xiezi very well and reminded him specially.
Of course Liu Xiezi was extremely itchy and wished he could just touch it tonight.
But he also knew that if he caused trouble in the guest house, the police might have been alerted even before the beauty could be found.
"You should keep an eye on the person first and then find an opportunity to kidnap the person."
They are already familiar with this kind of thing.
"Yes, Brother Xiezi." The younger brother did not dare to neglect Liu Xiezi's orders.
Zheng Quanqiang was drinking with Chu Mu. For people like them, New Year's Eve was no different from ordinary days.
Chu Mu looked back at Liu Xiezi from the corner of his eye without any trace, picked up the wine bottle and poured Zheng Quanqiang a drink.
"Boss, we have been here for a long time. When can we take action?"
"Why, are you anxious?" Zheng Quanqiang looked at him casually.
Chu Mu said calmly, "I'm not worried, I'm just bored."
A smile appeared on Zheng Quanqiang's lips, "You are used to fighting and killing. It's rare for you to be quiet for a few days and you are still not used to it. This is not okay."
Chu Mu was noncommittal and still didn't get the answer he wanted.
But he did not ask a second time, but continued to drink with Zheng Quanqiang.
About four or five minutes passed before Zheng Quanqiang said, "The wind has been tight recently, so we have to wait."
Chu Mu lowered his eyes to hide the flash of emotion in his eyes.
"I remember you said that you were an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. Do you want to call the orphanage this New Year?" Zheng Quanqiang said this with a smile.
"The orphanage doesn't have a phone, right? Or maybe you don't remember?"
Before Chu Mu could answer, Zheng Quanqiang added another sentence.
The atmosphere was tense.
Under Zheng Quanqiang's gaze, Chu Mu calmly stood up and walked towards the study, because only in the study was there a landline phone.
Zheng Quanqiang immediately glanced at Liu Xiezi, who immediately followed Chu Mu to the study.
Compared with the noise in the living room, the study is much quieter.
Of course, Chu Mu knew Liu Xiezi's purpose of following him, so he calmly dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly.
Liu Xiezi stuck to the other side of the microphone, listening to the voice coming from inside.
"Dean Liu, I am Chu Mu, do you still remember me?"
"Chu Mu? Are you little Chu Mu? Of course I remember you. Are you okay now? I didn't expect that you could still call me after leaving the orphanage for so many years."
An old woman's voice came over the phone. She obviously remembered Chu Mu and was extremely excited.
Liu Xiezi then distanced himself from the microphone and sat down on the desk.
Chu Mu chatted with the other party for a few words, mainly wishing the other party a happy new year, and then hung up the phone.
"Are you satisfied now?"
He glanced at Liu Xiezi lightly.
Liu Xiezi smiled, showing his big yellow teeth.
"This is because the boss cares about you."
Chu Mu did not expose Zheng Quanqiang's purpose for asking him to make this call.
Zhou Quanqiang is a suspicious person by nature. Although he saved his life, he did not completely trust him.
"I know you want the boss to trust you quickly, but your origins are indeed suspicious. If you are really anxious, I can help you with an idea. As long as you can do it, I guarantee that no matter whether it is the boss , or all of them will trust you unconditionally and treat you as their own brother."
As Liu Xiezi said this, he put his arm around Chu Mu's shoulders and kept showing his goodwill.
This time, Chu Mu did not refuse, but took advantage of the situation and asked, "What's your idea?"
It was rare for Liu Xiezi to see him be so cooperative with her, and he couldn't wait to say: "It's the little girl we met the day before yesterday. As long as you get her over to me, the boss will definitely not doubt you anymore."
After all, if Chu Mu was really a spy, he would definitely not harm a decent woman for no reason, and this woman was probably someone he knew.
"Have you found that woman?" Chu Mu's eyes glowed with danger.
But Liu Xiezi laughed sinisterly, "As long as it's the woman I like, no one can escape."
Although he didn't tell where Ye Ning was now, he already gave Chu Mu the answer, and then continued talking.
"Actually, I can handle it even if you don't take action. Now I'm just giving you a chance. What do you think, do it or not?"
