Chapter 387: Chapter 271: Don’t Call My Name

Su Wenhe also couldn’t get in touch with Tang Xi, and she found it strange, wondering how one could become unreachable just by attending a jewelry design competition. But now she was soothing Tangtang, "Mommy is probably busy, tomorrow after I drop you off at school, I’ll go visit her workplace."

Tangtang hung her head, "I miss mommy."

She took Su Wenhe’s phone and dialed Tang Xi’s number several times, but the calls couldn’t get through.

-

Not far from building number eight, there were some benches where the elders from the community usually rested after exercising.

Fu Tingzhou was sitting there, having smoked an entire pack of cigarettes.

Fu Tingzhou’s mind was slowly emptying and then tightening.

He held his phone and dialed Ning Daisu’s number.

Ning Daisu said that there was still no news of Tang Xi.

In reality, Ning Daisu wasn’t making much effort to search; she would be better off if Tang Xi disappeared completely.

But on the surface, she had to show anxiousness, "Tingzhou, where are you now? It’s so late, I waited outside your room for a while but didn’t see you return. I have some business documents from the Shangguan Group that need your review."

"Tell Shangguan Nanxian, if we don’t find Tang Xi within two days, I will immediately withdraw all funds!"

"What? Brother Tingzhou... please don’t be impulsive, this is no small matter."

"Ning Daisu, during work you can call me President Fu, in private, you can call me Mr. Fu. This ’Brother Tingzhou’ isn’t something I can bear, our relationship isn’t so intimate that you can call me by my first name," Fu Tingzhou’s voice was cold and deep, "You are only my assistant, you have no say in my decisions. If you can’t handle this position, go back to North City immediately."

Ning Daisu clenched her teeth; she was resentful but helpless.

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Fu."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Ning Daisu, infuriated, started throwing things around in the room.

Meanwhile, her phone rang again.

She was irritable and didn’t want to answer, but when she saw it was a call from the detective she had sent out, she picked up. The caller informed her that they had traced some clues related to Tang Xi’s disappearance.

Someone had seen Tang Xi being taken onto a boat by two people, heading towards the southern waters.

Ning Daisu hadn’t expected to genuinely find clues about Tang Xi’s whereabouts. The detective, quite proud, said, "I’m informing you as soon as I got the news, I haven’t even replied to Miss Shangguan yet."

Ning Daisu quickly said, "I’ll pay you a sum to keep quiet from now on, just say, you didn’t find any information about Tang Xi."

"This... isn’t right..."

"1 million," Ning Daisu tightened her grip on the phone.

The other end hesitated for a moment.

Ning Daisu gritted her teeth, "1.5 million! Take the money and shut up, there won’t be such an opportunity to make money in the future!"

Although her family was well-off, 1.5 million was her limit.

The other end agreed, and Ning Daisu breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Xi, since you’ve disappeared, then just vanish completely from North Island!

Xiaoliang Village.

Tang Xi was exhausted, despite not sleeping soundly in the unfamiliar place, she still slept till dawn.

Just as she woke up, she saw a blurry figure appearing in front of her.

She was startled and immediately sat up, alert.

Liang Zheng cracked a smile, "Time to eat."

Tang Xi subconsciously checked her clothes, they were intact. She sighed with relief and looked at the man smiling foolishly in front of her. "Liang Zheng, right... do you have a phone? Could I use it for a bit?"

Liang Zheng shook his head.

Liang Zheng handed Tang Xi a bowl of porridge and an egg, "Eat."

Tang Xi was hungry too.

She picked up the porridge and drank it all at once, it was millet porridge, sweet and flavorful.

She noticed the door was open and immediately wanted to step out, but Liang Zheng grabbed her hand. Tang Xi instinctively tried to shake him off, she didn’t like strangers touching her, but the moment she shook him off, Liang Zheng started to cry.

Like a wronged child.

Tang Xi was stunned.

She felt somewhat helpless.

Because Liang Zheng was simple-minded, his pitiful crying really overwhelmed her, as if she had done something terribly wrong. She quickly coaxed him, "Okay, okay, don’t cry, let’s... let’s go play, alright?"

"Sure!" Liang Zheng pulled her hand and walked outside.

Feng Jiamei was in the courtyard drying fish and smiled when she saw Liang Zheng pulling Tang Xi out, "Going out to play, huh? Good, come back early, around ten o’clock we’ll go to the village head’s house."

Tang Xi thought Feng Jiamei would stop them.

Isn’t she afraid that I would run away?

Tang Xi hastily walked out with Liang Zheng, who with the mindset of a six or seven-year-old, seemed to regard Tang Xi as his personal belonging, not letting go of her hand.

Tang Xi had no choice but to coax him.

She coaxed Liang Zheng the way she would coax her own daughter, and Liang Zheng was receptive to it.

"Liang Zheng, is there a small store in the village? Aunt... ah sister, shall I buy you a lollipop?"

She wanted to find a place to make a phone call.

Liang Zheng nodded and took Tang Xi to the small store.

Tang Xi felt embarrassed because her pockets were empty.

Not even a dime.

Liang Zheng took out ten yuan from his pocket, "Eat, eat, I want this one."

As he picked out two lollipops.

The store owner, also from Xiaoliang Village, seemed very kind, smiling broadly, "Little Zheng ah, is this your wife? She’s beautiful."

Tang Xi looked around and saw no public phone.

She knew she couldn’t borrow any communication tools here.

It seems she had to figure out a way to leave this village on her own.

Liang Zheng walked her out of the store and handed her a piece of candy.

Tang Xi hesitated for a few seconds and did not take it.

Instinctively, she was repulsed by the simpleton in front of her.

And that old woman Feng Jiamei, she even wanted her to marry this simpleton.

Being trapped here, she was in no mood or disposition to be pleasant.

But Liang Zheng was very cheerful, perhaps always joyfully entertaining himself; he directly unwrapped the candy and brought it to Tang Xi’s mouth, "Try it, it’s really sweet."

Liang Zheng was very handsome, the age where he should be a university student, in school, he would surely attract countless girls. Right now, his smile was filled with pure simplicity, Tang Xi sighed softly.

Such a pity.

So young and yet simple-minded.

If he were normal, he would have a promising future.

She put the candy in her mouth.

Then she pulled herself free, "Liang Zheng, I’m not your wife, I have been kidnapped here, I have my own home, a daughter, I need to go back, back to my own home."

Liang Zheng seemed to understand, yet he didn’t quite get it.

He scratched his head, repeating, "Go home, go home, grandma is waiting for us."
