Of course, Su Ji did not try it on. She only told Xu Mingzhi that it was only a sample and that it would be changed later.
Xu Mingzhi did not believe her and wanted to ask her more, but Su Ji thought about Dong Xiyou and went upstairs with the box, not giving her the chance to.
After returning to the room, Su Ji put her costume aside. It was not to brush Madam Xu off, but Dong Xiyou’s matter was indeed infuriating.
She sat in front of the desk and opened the investigation results related to Dong Xiyou that Pei Huai had sent her previously.
There were many blind spots in the TV station building, and it was not much better outside. Therefore, the surveillance video was not very useful. Then, combined with the testimonies of the people around, the approximate timeline was as follows:
After Dong Xiyou called Su Ji for the last time on the 5th of this month, she took leave on the 6th. From then on, all the messages about her were replied to through WeChat. No one had seen her in person, let alone heard her voice.
But…where could she be?
It must be a relatively safe place that would not be discovered by others.
Su Ji’s first thought was the television station. Pei Huai had the same thought at the time, but they soon realized that although there were many surveillance blind spots, there were no hygiene blind spots. The station head was especially obsessed with cleanliness. From top to bottom, every room, cubicle, and office…had to be cleaned every day.
It was impossible to hide someone there for seven days without being discovered.
According to a mystery novel, the abandoned factories and demolished buildings in the suburbs of A City were also suspicious.
The people sent by Pei Huai had started to search for these clues last night. Although they had not been able to find all of them, they had checked according to the order of the possibility. They had not found anything yet, so the possibility was not high either…
With each passing day, Dong Xiyou’s state became more and more perilous.
After seeing Anna yesterday, the possibilities of danger increased.
Dong Xiyou was really cute.
It wouldn’t be surprising if people have bad intentions towards her.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. In the end, Su Ji could not sit still anymore.
They had not contacted Dong Xiyou’s parents for the time being. Her parents were out of town. They were just anxious when they found out. What was certain was that Dong Xiyou definitely did not return to her hometown.
Su Ji brushed her hair in frustration. Outside the window, Wang Zhicheng was washing his car. She looked out the window and waved at him.
The gold medal driver was available!
She can’t wait any longer–
He Yu didn’t sleep the entire night. Su Ji didn’t wake him up and went out to look for her herself.
As long as she was on the road, there was always hope.
Wang Zhicheng’s car drove along the vicinity of Lychee TV’s building. The car window was down, and Su Ji rested her elbow on the window as she looked outside.
Thoughts were running quickly in her mind, and Wang Zhicheng never disturbed her when she was thinking. He just drove quietly.
After driving for two hours, they had basically gone around the entire area. It was meaningless to search again and again, so Wang Zhicheng asked Su Ji, “Miss, where are we going?
Su Ji was momentarily at a loss. “What do you think, Uncle Wang?”
Wang Zhicheng thought about it seriously and gave his answer a few seconds later. “I think we can go to Erhuan.”
“Erhuan?” Su Ji asked.
Wang Zhicheng nodded. “There are a few great masters over there. We might be able to ask them for help…”
After Master White Dragon was taken down by Madam Du and her men, a group of imitators started to appear.
Su Ji frowned. “Let’s go to her rented apartment.”
“Oh,” Wang Zhicheng said in a dejected manner. He did not know why such a good suggestion was not adopted, but he turned in the direction of Ms. Dong’s rented house.
The external iron staircase was rusted, so there was a rusty smell.
When they went up the stairs, they would make a loud sound. Wang Zhicheng walked behind Su Ji. When he saw the trembling stairs, he could not help but raise his hand to support her from behind, afraid that she would fall.
When they arrived at Dong Xiyou’s unit, Su Ji raised her hand and knocked again for some reason.
After waiting for half a minute, nothing happened.
She Imocked a few more times, and the result was still the same.
The rubbish outside had been left there for several days. It was impossible for her to have come back.
Su Ji looked at her surroundings. There was not a single surveillance camera here.
She pressed down the brim of her baseball cap and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, she heard the sound of the door lock turning. She turned around and saw that the door was opened next door. The old man from last time poked his head out with a red nose. When he saw Su Ji standing next door, he cursed, “f * ck, it’s next door again. The sound insulation in this f * cking crappy place is really terrible.”
“Sir,” Wang Zhicheng, who was wearing a jacket, stood in front of the young lady like a veteran. “Please speak properly and use civilized language.”
“Where the hell did you come from? You’re her father, not mine. Don’t be a busybody.” He had a bad temper today. The team he supported had lost.
Wang Zhicheng: “…”
After enduring for half a minute, he convinced himself not to cause trouble when he was with the young miss!
“Miss, since Ms. Dong hasn’t returned, let’s look elsewhere.”
However, Su Ji stood where she was, as if she was thinking about something.
“Why aren’t you leaving yet!” The man shouted.
Wang Zhicheng cracked his knuckles, his face still looking kind. “Miss, let’s go back to the car and think about it.”
Su Ji was like an old monk in meditation.
The man closed the door and returned to his house after cursing at them. However, just as the door was about to close, a hand grabbed the door. Su Ji seemed to have suddenly woken up and teleported in front of him.
At such a close distance, he finally recognized her. Wasn’t she the girl with strange strength from yesterday?
He tried to close the door and pulled it a few times, but the door did not budge. He started to feel fear. “What are you doing??”
Not only did Su Ji not let him close the door, but she also pushed the door open. The old man’s hand was on the doorknob, but he was thrown on the floor by the force of her opening the door and he fell on his face.
Wang Zhicheng shouted in his heart.
Su Ji grabbed his collar and pressed him to the ground. “What did you say just now?”
The man was fearful and said tremblingly. “I…said what are you doing?”
“Not this one!”
“The previous ones were all curse words. Let’s not repeat it.”
Su Ji’s eyes were burning. “The first sentence you said when you opened the door!”
“Well, I heard some noise and thought it was outside my unit, but when I came out, I saw it was next door, so I said…”
Su Ji asked, “did you say ‘again’? Did someone from next door come back recently?”
He swallowed hard.. “Yeah, isn’t someone living next door? Yesterday, you came here with a man…then, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, I could hear the sound of someone returning every day…”
