Mysterious level up! Shen Ye cries and begs for reconciliation again

After talking with the planner, he repeatedly swiped the dialog box with Qi Yan. He had refrained from contacting her these past few days because he was afraid that he would be exposed.

In the end, she didn't send any message either.

The last chat happened the day before yesterday, and Qi Yan replied with a period.

He looked at the period on the white dialog box and just found it funny.

My heart feels filled, solid and sweet.

Shen Rao suddenly put away his phone and stood up. He wanted to see her so much that he couldn't wait any longer.

He knocked on Qi Yan's door with a heart full of excitement and longing.

She is off today and should be at home.

After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard inside.

Then the door opened, and Shen Rao's mouth, which had just raised, froze when he saw someone.

"Who are you?"

The person in front of him was not Qi Yan, but a burly man with a round face and a beard.

Shen Rao raised his eyes to confirm the house number. He sent Qi Yan back home every day, so it was impossible for him to get the wrong door.

He looked at the sturdy man's face and it turned cold instantly. He pushed him away and strode in.

The bearded man staggered after being pushed, and when he saw someone coming in, he shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Who the hell are you and why are you barging into someone else's house?!"

Shen Rao walked halfway in and stopped when he saw the interior decoration.

He turned around and grabbed the collar of the bearded man who was about to argue with him, and his voice was so cold that it seemed to be freezing.

"What about Qi Yan?"

The sturdy man was frightened by his momentum and struggled backwards.

"What kind of cigarettes are these? You've got the wrong door!"

Shen Rao didn't listen and pulled him by the collar with bloodshot eyes.

"I'm asking you about Qi Yan?"

The bearded man trembled at his madness, and his strong look instantly became timid.

"I've already told you, I don't know what kind of cigarette you're looking for. You got the wrong one!"

Shen Rao loosened his collar that had been wrinkled by his fist, stood by the living room window with a sullen face, glared at his car downstairs, and dialed Qi Yan's number.

His lips were pressed into a straight line, as if he was trying to suppress something.

A female voice came from the receiver: "The number you dialed is unavailable. Please check before redialing..."

Shen Rao's hand trembled and he almost couldn't hold the phone. His heartbeat stopped instantly.

He endured the discomfort and confirmed the phone number, then dialed again, but got the same result.

The mobile phone number that could be dialed before is now an empty number.

He opened the previous chat box, and when he saw the pinned avatar, his lips trembled and his face turned terribly pale.

The chat records that I had just seen not long ago have all disappeared, and her account has also been cancelled.

It's like this person never existed.

He seemed to be suffocated by an unknown panic.

Shen Rao trembled, held the glass with his hand, and dialed a number.

"Go check where Qi Yan is."

After hanging up the phone, he didn't care about the bearded man who was about to call the police, and left with unsteady steps.

After he came out, he drove straight to Yaqing.

Pulling over Gu Qing who was chatting with the bartender, he asked, "Do you know where Qi Yan went?"

Gu Qing looked at Shen Rao with confusion on his face.

"Shouldn't I ask you this? Aren't you two stuck together every day?"

Shen Rao's face became even colder, and his whole person became gloomy.

Gu Qing then realized the problem: "She resigned and left yesterday after the handover. Didn't you know about this?"

Shen Rao's dark eyes were filled with suppressed anger, like an enraged wolf.

"She resigned, why didn't you tell me."

"Hey, she said she wanted to give you a surprise..."

When Gu Qing saw Shen Rao like this, he also moved back, but he was still gossiping without caring about his life.

"Why, can't she be found? Maybe she didn't receive the call or see the message. Don't worry, I'll contact her for you."

As he said this, he took out his cell phone, checked the message box first, didn't find anyone, then dialed the number and found it was an invalid number.

After repeatedly confirming that the number was correct, my whole body shook.

Looking at Shen Rao, he uttered two words clearly.

"Fuck!"

Just as the atmosphere between the two was strange and depressing, the bartender at the front desk silently raised his hand and spoke.

"Well, Xiaoyan left a note for Mr. Shen. She came here today, left the note and some money, and left."

After saying that, he handed over a folded piece of paper. Shen Rao immediately took it and unfolded it.

Two seconds later, his face turned frighteningly cold.

Gu Qing glanced at it and saw only two words on it.

"Don't worry."

Simple, just like Qi Yan.

Next, all the news Shen Rao received was that there was no trace of Qi Yan.

There wasn't even any surveillance camera capturing her. Even the Yaqing Bar where the bartender said she had been that afternoon didn't have any surveillance footage of her.

Shen Rao sent more people to continue searching. On that day, a big storm arose in an invisible place in the imperial capital.

The target being sought was wearing sunglasses and driving an off-road vehicle at full speed across the border, completely unaware of the size of the trouble he had caused.

The cigarette burns out, the ashes fall into the night, and the memories also come to an abrupt end.

Qi Yan put the cigarette into the ashtray on the balcony, turned around and went into the room. There was heating in the room, and his body temperature gradually warmed up as he came in.

She was just about to go back to wash up and rest when the spare phone thrown in the drawer rang.

Not many people would call this phone, so she took it out and looked at the number. It was a familiar landline.

After the call was connected, she folded her arms and looked at the dark night outside. Her expression went from being indifferent at first to frowning.

His tone was tinged with impatience.

"Isn't Shen Cheng dead? What about my vacation?"

"Shen Cheng is not over. There are other forces behind him. The eldest grandson of the Shen family is now exposed to them. He is in danger. Your next task is to protect him."

Her heart trembled when she heard 'the eldest grandson of the Shen family', but she still couldn't understand such an arrangement.

"I have completed my mission. The list is cleared. Not a single one is left."

"This is a mission, you are not qualified to refuse. The person behind Shen Cheng is hiding very deeply. You killed him, and now this clue is broken. This is the problem you brought up."

Hearing this, Qi Yan felt irritated.

"My mission is to clear the people on the list. Killing Shen Cheng is a normal procedure."

"Alright, follow orders. You raise the issue and you solve it. Your mission now is to protect the eldest grandson of the Shen family. You can take a vacation and wait until the mission is over."

The voice that brooked no argument disappeared when the phone was hung up.

Qi Yan stared at the screen of his mobile phone. After his chest heaved violently, he calmed down, picked up the cigarette box on the table, and opened the balcony door.

As if she didn't feel the cold, she sat on the balcony and smoked all night until the nicotine suppressed her irritability.

She then stood up with a sullen look on her face to clean up the cigarette butts that filled the ashtray.

……

Central hospital.

In the ward, the woman who originally had a rosy complexion and was filled with a glow of happiness, was now lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and barely breathing.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and it looked like she had just cried bitterly. Zhou Ran looked at her with concern while holding the food he had bought.

"Sister Zhao, please eat something. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Think about yourself and the baby in your belly."

Zhao Zhi closed her eyes tightly, turned her face away with a look of pain, and her voice was weak and hoarse.

"get out."

"Sister Zhao..."

"go out!"

Just then, there was a knock on the ward door. Zhou Ran put the food aside and went to open the door.
