Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Early in the morning, Zhou Shifeng was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock.

He pressed the alarm

Then there was the sound of constant WeChat message reminders,

He picked up his phone and looked at it, then he woke up instantly and sat up suddenly.

It’s a message from Master Zhu Qingqing.

The master finally contacted him.

He clicked on it and took a closer look. The master left a message on WeChat asking him to buy medicine, daily necessities, clothes, etc.

This is………

What do you mean?

He quickly called his master, but still couldn't get through.

It has been over a month since the master and his family went on a trip and we lost contact. This has made everyone very worried.

To this day, Second Junior Brother Lin Jinyuan is still waiting outside the scenic area for news, hoping to get some clues about the whereabouts of Master and his family.

Zhou Shifeng still remembers his last phone call with his chef that evening. She told them that the family had safely arrived in a small town outside the scenic area and were staying in a unique guesthouse. They had also participated in a roasted whole lamb event and shared a few photos. The chef said they needed to rest early because they were going to see the glacier the next day. She didn't say much, simply urging them to take good care of the restaurant and not bring shame to her.

However, when they tried to contact the chef as usual after closing the restaurant the next night to report on the restaurant's performance, they found they couldn't reach her. Furthermore, they couldn't reach the chef's parents, sister, or daughter, Wu Di, either.

This situation is rare.

Faced with this situation, everyone began to panic. Xie Xiaofei, the lobby foreman, said anxiously, "Could it be that Master Zhu and the others met with an accident?" This sentence made the whole atmosphere tense.

The cashier comforted him, "Don't talk nonsense. Maybe your phone is out of battery or the signal is bad." But everyone knew that this explanation was a bit far-fetched.

It’s impossible that everyone’s phone is out of battery.

Lin Jinyuan: "If nothing happened, how could the call not be connected?"

Zhou Shifeng: "You're overthinking it. Maybe the signal is bad in this remote mountainous area. Let's contact each other later."

Everyone waited for a while.

During this period, Xie Xiaofei searched the Internet for the scenic spot that Master Zhu and his friends had visited, and found several pieces of news saying that an earthquake had occurred in the scenic spot in the afternoon, and some people were injured and some were missing.

Xie Xiaofei showed them the news, and everyone was worried.

I hope nothing will happen to Master Zhu and his family.

Everyone quickly searched the Internet, trying to find more information about the earthquake, but there was no new progress.

In addition to the waiters, several other key personnel stayed in the store all night, making constant phone calls and checking information online, but to no avail.

The next day, they discussed it and decided to send Lin Jinyuan to the scenic area, and Zhou Shifeng stayed to take care of the restaurant. After all, he was the eldest apprentice, and he had already become a master, and the restaurant could not do without him.

After Lin Jinyuan visited the scenic area, he received word that the earthquake wasn't severe, and no tourists had died, only being frightened and slightly injured. However, some tourists and staff were missing. Among them was the Master's family, so he stayed there awaiting further news.

However, more than a month passed and the search and rescue team found no trace.

Zhou Shifeng was a little unconvinced.

Could it be that Master and his family really...

But now he actually received another message from his master...

What on earth is this...

The call still didn't go through, so he tried to reply to the message.

"Master, is that you? Are you all safe?

The message was sent, but there was no reply.

He didn't give up and sent a few messages, basically asking about Zhu Qingqing and the others' situation during this period.

Ask them if they have returned?

Otherwise, why would the master ask him to buy things and say he had to pick them up from the store? When he thought that the master might have escaped danger and returned, he felt extremely relieved.

Then he got up and washed up quickly.

At the same time, I kept checking my phone, hoping to receive a reply from the master.

However, the message fell on deaf ears without even a single bubble popping up.

Zhou Shifeng hurried out of the house. The master asked him to go to her house to get the medicine box, and the key was with him. After the master lost contact, several of them went to her house once.

Now he went over to see if the master had returned.

Zhou Shifeng drove to Zhu Qingqing's house and took a look around, but did not see Zhu Qingqing's car.

Then he got out of the car and ran upstairs.

He knocked on the door first, but there was no response, so he took out the key and opened the door.

The room was very quiet. Because the windows hadn't been opened for a long time, there was already a faint smell...

Zhou Shifeng took a look and found that it was indeed the same as the last time they came.

The master didn't come back.

what is going on actually?

In any case, he decided to do as the master said. The master said that she would pick up these things after closing time, so he would wait until then, and all the mysteries would be revealed.

He went to the study and found the box that his master had mentioned.

He opened it and took a look. Inside were some medical instruments used for surgery. There was also a small box containing a set of silver needles for acupuncture.

Zhou Shifeng is familiar with this. It belongs to Zhu's father. He has used this to give him acupuncture before.

Zhou Shifeng closed the box and hurried downstairs carrying it.

Then I remembered to call Lin Jinyuan, he was still in the scenic area.

"Jinyuan, have you made any progress?"

Lin Jinyuan: "There is no progress. I also went in there myself, but I didn't find anything. It's as if the master and the others disappeared out of thin air.

Some people say that it's possible that an earthquake caused a crack and they fell in. So... Brother, could that be true? Then, what should we do?"

Zhou Shifeng was silent for a moment and then said:

"Hey, Jinyuan, I received a message from Master."

"What, Master contacted you? Are they okay?"

"I don't know either. My master left me a message on WeChat last night when I was asleep. Oh, how could I have slept so soundly? Otherwise, I would have contacted him right then."

Zhou Shifeng was a little annoyed.

...I called right after I saw the message this morning, but I still couldn’t get through. That’s strange..."

"Brother, what did the master leave you a message?"

Zhou Shifeng: "She asked me to buy some things, daily necessities, clothes and so on."

He didn't elaborate, and was too embarrassed to say that he even had sanitary napkins.

Lin Jinyuan: "Brother, I, I have a guess.

Could it be that the master is asking you for something?"

"She wasn't asking for it, she was asking me to help buy it. The chef even transferred the money to me. She left it in the kitchen after closing time and came to get it. I think I'll know what's going on then."

Lin Jinyuan: "It's over, it's over. Master must be... Brother, I heard that after someone has done something, they ask their loved ones to burn something for them, money or something else. It's to pay for passage, so they can live well. You said that Master and his family were hit by a sudden disaster, so they must have nothing. It's been over a month, who else should they turn to if not you?"

Zhou Shifeng felt his scalp tingle when he heard this.

"Don't scare me."

Lin Jinyuan: "How else can you explain receiving the message but not seeing the person? Could it be that someone hacked your account as a prank? But they didn't actively transfer money to you. It's more like they're scamming you."

Zhou Shifeng calmed down and said, "Everything will be clear tonight."
