C52 Missing
Shrill screams came out of the bar, and the sky seemed to darken.
Xia Jing had disappeared.
Shen Ruo Bai called her as soon as she left the bar, but no one answered. Li Nan's call also came at the right time, "Big brother, something happened. Sister-in-law seems to know about the matter between you and Qiao Le Yan."
Shen Ruo Bai didn't say anything else as she sped all the way to the Blue Sky News Agency.
"Where is she?" She grabbed the collar of the only man in the newspaper agency. Shen Ruo Bai's eyes were spitting fire. Old Wang stared at him for a long time before he reacted, "Shen, Shen Ruo Bai?"
As expected, there were rumors in the industry that one could not write his manuscript casually, and one could not mess with him. As expected, as soon as the manuscript was sent out, the ancestor came to look for him personally.
"I'm asking you who she is?" Shen Ruo Bai's eyes darkened. She let go of his collar and turned around to strangle his neck. Old Wang's face immediately turned red, and then he revealed a look of fear. "Who, who is she?"
"Where did Xia Jing go?" Shen Ruo Bai's patience was finally running out. With a furious roar, the entire office building shook a few times.
"She... She took a leave of absence in the afternoon. I don't know where she went either. "Old Wang's entire body was trembling.
Shen Ruo Bai threw him on the ground and turned to leave. She was in a hurry and her steps were fast.
Li Nan and Xie Yan had already gone out to look for her, but this person seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and they had searched everywhere they could find, but there was no trace of Xia Jing.
After nightfall, it started to rain. The rain gradually intensified. When they passed by a bridge, Xie Yan looked at the water level under the bridge, which was getting higher and higher, and suddenly came up with a thought, "This sister-in-law wouldn't take things too hard and jump..."
"Shut up!" Li Nan scolded him heavily, "You have a jinx. If Big Brother hears it, be careful of your tongue."
Xie Yan was not convinced, "This big brother is not here, so what are you trying to show off for? If you ask me, sister-in-law's personality is one that tends to go to the extreme easily. Look at how much our big brother dotes on her. Now that she suddenly knows that big brother has a woman outside, she definitely won't be able to accept it. This woman's heart is so fragile. Once she can't accept it, it will be easy..."
Before Xie Yan could finish speaking, Li Nan suddenly noticed something on the bridge and directly opened the door to get out of the car.
"Hey, where are you going?" Xie Yan quickly followed him out of the car. The rain was a little heavy, so he couldn't see it clearly. When he got out of the car, he saw that there seemed to be a phone lying where Li Nan walked by.
Xie Yan scoffed at this, "Big brother didn't treat you badly. You get so much in a month. Do you need to pick up people's phones on the road to use them? Besides, it was raining so heavily that even if you picked up the phone, you wouldn't be able to use it. It's more important to find sister-in-law. Let's hurry up and find her. If we can't find her, we won't be able to sleep tonight."
Li Nan didn't say anything for a long time. He picked up the phone and looked at it carefully, then suddenly asked, "Look, is this Xia Jing's phone?"
"What?" Xie Yan jumped up in shock. He went over and took a closer look, "Damn, it's really sister-in-law's phone." The things that Xia Jing used were very easy to distinguish, because they were custom-made for her by Shen Ruo Bai. Every item had a special symbol on it.
Including the phone.
Shen Ruo Bai came in a hurry, and the rescue team had sealed off the entire river bank and had been trying to salvage it. If Xie Yan and Li Nan had not tried their best to stop her, Shen Ruo Bai would have jumped down no matter what.
The water level in the river kept rising. Under the heavy rain, Shen Ruo Bai stood at the spot where Li Nan had first picked up Xia Jing's phone with red eyes. She stood there without moving, as if she was a shell that had lost its soul. There was not a single trace of life in her body.
Li Nan and Xie Yan stood not far away from him with umbrella. Neither of them dared to get close to him, but they were constantly monitoring his every move. Once they discovered that he had the motive to jump over the bridge, they would rush over to stop him.
Xie Yan's jinx was true. Xia Jing had really jumped into the river. On such a rainy day, it would be difficult to even pick up her corpse.
After a few hours of continuous rescue, the rescue team member was finally exhausted, "Mr. Shen, the rain today is too heavy. It is extremely difficult to salvage. Even if we salvage for an entire night, we might not be able to find her."
Shen Ruo Bai clenched her fists tightly. Li Nan quickly pulled the person over and whispered, "If we can't find him in one night, then we have to find him in another day. No matter what, we must find him."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Shen Ruo Bai. His fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white, and his body was already drenched. At this moment, in the rain, his entire body was trembling, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or fear.
Xie Yan had been with him for many years, but he had never seen him like this. He took two steps forward and said with a conflicted expression, "Big brother, maybe sister-in-law just lost her phone and didn't jump down from here. After fishing for so long, if she really jumped, she should be picked up by now."
Shen Ruo Bai didn't move at all. It was as if she didn't hear his words. She just stood there stiffly, her blood red eyes staring at the lake water as if she wanted to see through it.
"Sister-in-law?" Li Nan suddenly called out from afar. Xie Yan reacted the fastest. He looked over and saw a luxury car speeding by. He rolled his eyes at Xie Yan, "I was just comforting big brother. You did it even more seriously than me."
"No, the person who got in the car just now really does look like ..." Li Nan thought for a while and was not too sure, "Maybe I was wrong."
Shen Ruo Bai didn't react at all. He was like a puppet that had lost its soul. The heavy rain kept washing his body until he fell straight down from the heavy rain.
Why? Why didn't you wait for me to explain...
"Achoo ~" As soon as he got on the car, he sneezed. Song Yi smiled and handed him a towel to the back. He quickly accelerated and said, "Why are you alone outside in such heavy rain? He didn't even open the umbrella, could it be that he wanted to jump off the bridge?"
Xia Jing ignored him and looked out the window with a numb expression. Her entire body was wet, and her hair was still dripping. There was not a single spot on her body that was dry.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Song Yi looked at her numb expression through the rearview mirror and his smile deepened. "You really don't want to live anymore?"
"I lost my phone. I was just going back the way I came to look for it." Xia Jing answered his question mechanically. Suddenly, she thought of something and frowned. "Just now, I seemed to see a lot of people on the bridge. What happened?"
The smile on Song Yi's face froze for a moment before returning to normal, "What else could happen? However, some people are heartbroken and jump into the river. Such things happen every day. Why? Do you want to join in the fun?"
Xia Jing was clearly a person who did not like to join the fun. She turned her head and looked out the window quietly.
"Hey, where are we going? Where do you live? Do you want me to send you back?"
Xia Jing did not even look at him and said lightly, "Find a random place and throw me down."
