"Miss Bai, excuse me. It's the young master who's looking for you."

This time it was the housekeeper Uncle Nan who personally delivered Bai Shuiru's cell phone and the sheep doll that could make real-time calls that Hei Huomian had given her last night.

"What were you doing just now? You didn't answer my call, and you didn't bring the sheep with you."

On the other end of the phone, Hei Huomian tried hard to conceal his complaints and exaggerate his grievances.

Bai Shuiru couldn't help but widen her clear almond eyes and began to lie:

"Ah? I, I was in a hurry to go downstairs and forgot."

The man snorted and said, "I heard that Min Ying personally sent something to you?"

Why does it feel like the grievance in Heishenmian's words is even stronger?

What is he aggrieved about?

Bai Shuiru scratched his cheek and responded:

"Well, he just brought me all the things that I wanted to get yesterday but failed to get."

The man snorted again.

"I'm going to a neighboring city to sign a contract."

The man's first sentence was "I wanted to say goodbye to you in person just now, but you avoided me like a vegetable."

From the man's tone, Bai Shuiru had already imagined that he was clasping his arms across his chest, with his head turned away and his lips pouting in a proud and coquettish manner.

Before hanging up the phone, the man gritted his teeth and said with a mixture of hatred and resentment:

"Keep your cell phone and sheep with you at all times, otherwise - I'll fire you!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

This was the first time that Hei Huomian threatened him in a furious manner, which made Bai Shuiru unable to help but sneer at the chairman's childishness.

——Bai Shuiru, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!

In the dream, the man's cruel and treacherous smile echoed in her ears without warning, causing Bai Shuiru to shudder unconsciously, and her cell phone immediately fell on the carpet.

On Hei Huomian’s private helicopter.

Li You saw that his boss' mood was gradually improving, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he hurriedly handed over the investigation report on Hao Mianmian.

"According to the investigation, there should be nothing wrong with that Hao Mianmian. She and Miss Bai have been classmates, desk mates, and best friends since junior high school. She often invites Miss Bai to her home to spend the night."

"Ms. Bai started her business of handmade jewelry in high school, while Mianmian Hao came from a much better family than Ms. Bai and started making handmade collages during college. Later, the two of them joined groups such as the Creative Market and organized themselves to set up stalls in various business districts to sell their handicrafts."

"In recent years, the consumer group's interest in creative markets has declined, and the effect is not as good as in previous years. Hao Mianmian simply stayed at home and live-streamed collages, which led to better popularity and sales."

"Apart from gathering with people in the circle, Hao Mianmian also dates her boyfriend. The last time she met Miss Bai was on the night three days before Miss Bai was taken back to the Zhong family. At that time, they attended an offline gathering of the handicraft circle."

Black Fire Mian's long finger hovered over the tablet. In the photo:

Hao Mianmian turned her head to look to the side, blocking almost half of the back of the tall man in black clothes and black pants in front of her.

"According to the entry and exit records, Hao Mianmian left the country four days ago and entered Yao Country for transit three days ago. She held a tourist visa valid for three months."

"The following are photos of Hao Mianmian and her companions entering and leaving the house they rented in Yao Country."

Hei Huomian withdrew his gaze from the photo he had been staring at for nearly a minute and glanced at his assistant.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this Hao Mianmian?"

Li You, who was originally confident and certain of the results of the investigation, was questioned like this and felt his heart beating. After thinking for a few seconds, he said:

"Nothing suspicious has been found about Hao Mianmian for now."

Hei Huo Mian turned the tablet towards the other party.

"What about her boyfriend?"

Two hours later, in Lin City, at the signing ceremony between Mingxin Group and a certain group, spotlights were flashing non-stop.

To show solemnity, the second-in-command of the two contracting parties personally exchanged a document that their side had already signed, opened it, and placed it on the table in front of Hei Huomian and the other party's president.

"Emperor Ming, I just contacted the two subordinates who were protecting Miss Bai half a minute ago, but I didn't get a response."

The leader of the twelve secret guards reported with some trepidation:

"I'm afraid something went wrong with Miss Bai."

The person in charge of the cooperation party had already signed his name neatly. He turned around and saw that Hei Huomian not only held the pen in his hand but also frowned. He couldn't help swallowing and looked at the people accompanying him, making eye contact.

Check immediately! Hei Huomian almost drew a wavy line in the signature column, ignoring the reporters who were filming and taking pictures at the scene, he threw down his pen and stood up to leave. Before he completely stepped into the exit of the venue, he had teleported away.

Li You was so frightened that he quickly chanted a spell to create a substitute for Hei Huomian to continue striding forward for his boss. He looked around and made sure that no one noticed, then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hei Huomian had just stepped out of the space vortex when his cell phone rang. He lowered his eyes to glance at the caller ID, hesitated for half a second and quickly answered the call:

"Hei Huo Mian, is Shui Ru missing?!"

"Do you have any news about her?!"

Hei Huomian had never felt as happy as he did at that moment when he received a call from Min Ying.

"I knew you couldn't protect her!"

"I will find her and protect her! If you don't have any clues, don't waste my time!"

"Hei Huo Mian, do you have any clues?"

"When I find Shui Ru, I'll settle the score with you for monitoring my Sucong Manor!"

When Min Ying heard Hei Huomian hang up the phone, he stepped on the accelerator and sped out of the detachment's parking lot.

Being like Shui, would she just go to a favorite place to relax?

She used to like...the Moonlight Fountain in Moonlight Park the most!

Yes! Let’s go to Moon Park!

Half an hour ago, on a provincial road leading to the suburbs of Shenta City.

Bai Shuiru raised her arms and faced the two unconscious secret guards of Hei Huomian with her palms.

The two secret guards, with their heads drooping and unaware, immediately floated to the side of the road as if repelled by a magnetic field.

"excuse me."

Bai Shuiru bowed to the two of them apologetically, and then shouted, "Get lost!"

She turned back to her rented pickup truck and drove at full speed in the direction of the sign that said "Life Needs Green Pastures".

Although they are the Twelve Secret Guards, I consciously released my ability to dispel floating things to the limit. Unexpectedly, I was able to actually stun them.

After driving for an hour and a half at a speed close to the speed limit, Bai Shuiru just entered the green pasture when he saw the owner riding up to him from afar and calling out:

"Welcome to the 'Let's Go Green Pastures' farmhouse! Little girl, are you here alone? Don't worry, uncle, it's safe!"

The honest, round-faced boss got off his horse and pointed in the direction of the parking lot.

"Just park the car over there. I'll ask your aunt to arrange a single room upstairs for you to stay in. We'll roast lamb tonight."

"Thank you."

Bai Shuiru parked the car, took a backpack and followed the boss to the front desk of the farmhouse to register. She accidentally looked up at the verdict floating above the other person's head:

"Wang Xiaoxiao... was honest and law-abiding, and enjoyed the blessing of having children and grandchildren. He died..." Three days later?!

Baishui, wearing a white shirt and washed white jeans, was lying on the grass slope of the pasture, looking at the clouds rolling in the clear blue sky.

I knew that Uncle Wang would die of acute myocardial infarction, but I couldn't remind him to seek medical attention immediately.

Then I can see what the point of the verdict is?

"You really make me worry~!"

A man suddenly appeared beside Bai Shuiru and sat down with helpless complaints.

The little girl grabbed a handful of grass and threw it at Wu Chu.

"How dare you, a broken stone, show up?! Also, when have you ever worried about me?!"

Another handful of grass was sprinkled on Wu Chu's face.

"Every time I'm in danger and call you, when have you ever shown up?!"

Wu Chu blew away the broken grass on his face good-naturedly and reached out to pinch the little girl's cheek.

"Hey~, haven't you called me recently? I don't know who said 'Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up'."

Bai Shuiru's face turned slightly red, and this time she pulled out a handful of muddy grass and threw it at the other party.

"Why should I waste my time yelling at a stinky stone that doesn't pay attention to me! Stinky stone!"

Bai Shuiru still felt unsatisfied, so she raised her foot and kicked the other person in the butt.

"That's all I have left!"

Wu Chu raised his hand and pressed the back of the girl's head.

"Knowing this principle, live a good life, eat when you should, drink when you should."

He laid lazily on the grassy slope with his hands as pillow, and after half a minute he responded leisurely:

"——If you need to love, then love~!"

Bai Shuiru rested her head on her knees and turned to look at the top of the other person's head. The verdict was mosaiced:

"Stinky Stone, what do you think my future will be like?"

The wind carrying the scent of green grass ran by boldly, occasionally peeking out to make a face in front of the little girl, then laughing and hiding away.

"Spring Bug! How can we call what we can see the 'future'?"

“No one can know whether they will be a stray cat or a maggot in their next life, so——”

Wu Chu stretched lazily, stood up and looked forward, his tone seemed indifferent, but he continued with great certainty:

"I must fight for the ending I want most in this life."

Only the wind seemed to be playing tirelessly on the pasture, but in fact it was loyally staying by Bai Shuiru's side, watching the sun gradually set with her.

Suddenly, the wind roared behind her like a raging beast, rushing towards her as if chasing its prey.

Bai Shuiru turned her head in surprise and looked behind her, screamed "Ah", climbed up using her hands and feet, and ran away.

Behind her, Hei Huomian flew in a helicopter from far away, from the sky to low altitude.

The man held the handle, standing tall on the landing gear of the plane, with his other hand casually in his trouser pocket, looking down at the little girl running on the grass slope.

"Should I consider giving you a piece of jewelry with a location tracker function?"

Bai Shuiru was startled and his steps became faster.

Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling not far behind her, followed by the sound of intensive footsteps and rustling through the grass. Then, the man grabbed her wrist and threw her down the slope.

Bai Shuiru's feet slipped and she felt the hand holding her wrist suddenly loosen, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Hei Huomian really wants to kill me? !
