On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Soon it was time for lunch, and a fulfilling morning came to an end.

It was still the enthusiastic manager who was walking in front and acting as a tour guide for the team.

After receiving the notification from Yu Wangze, he led several people out of the small room inside one by one.

Chen Qian was still thinking about something, and unconsciously walked in the front, unconsciously leaving the others far behind, and soon arrived at the separation point.

Chen Qian didn't think of speaking and was very quiet. The floor was covered with a thick European-style carpet, which made no sound when stepped on.

So when he came to the door of the reception hall and stood beside the crowd who were standing silently and thinking, no one noticed him.

As soon as he approached them, Chen Qian noticed the heavy atmosphere around them. Although they were standing in different positions, they were all looking at the other end of the corridor - that was the direction of the lobby leading to the racecourse exit.

He silently took a few steps forward until he was between Yu Wangze and Chen Tian. Then he followed the others and looked towards that position, but he only saw two figures flashing by, with very similar figures.

One of them, Chen Qianben, already had the answer; it was Chi Mu, whom he had met before.

And the other one... he thought it was Chi Yuxing.

Before I could think about why Chi Yuxing appeared here, the person next to me had changed.

It was as if the stagnant air, suppressed emotions and uneasy expression were all just a daydream of Chen Qian.

The people who had sad faces suddenly put on smiles, and the others who had just been left behind also caught up. The noise filled the spacious hall again in just a moment.

Chen Tian pretended to be natural and put his arm around Chen Qian's shoulders, and there was no more worry on his face.

He rubbed Chen Qian's head affectionately and asked softly, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

Chen Qian looked at him, and after their eyes met for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Anything is fine, it doesn't matter to me."

He forced a smile, but in his heart he silently confirmed that their previous state was not an illusion.

At least, Chen Tian's gaze was not as his appearance showed.

It is the complete opposite, full of regret, helplessness, and perhaps even unwillingness.

……

After lunch, they did not return to the isolated European-style villa in the suburbs, but were suddenly sent back home.

The remaining luggage and other items will be packed up and sent back by people sent by Yu Wangze.

It was said that there was a wedding of a distant relative today, so when Chen Tian and Chen Qian entered the house, it was almost empty.

Zhong Yi was bored in his room. When he heard someone coming upstairs, he came out of the room and greeted the two of them.

After greeting him, he calmly asked Chen Qian, "Do you have time?"

Chen Qian didn't understand what was going on, so he said "yes" truthfully and followed him into the room.

After entering the room, the two of them sat on the single sofa and the edge of the bed in the corner of the room respectively, looking at each other.

"I'm going back to Denmark tomorrow." Zhong Yi said simply and clearly.

"So soon, should I go back?" Chen Qian was a little surprised.

"No, it's a personal matter." Zhong Yi shook his head, then he thought for a moment and continued, "Take a rest for the time being."

Hearing this, Chen Qian was even more surprised.

They haven't had a formal vacation or rest for a long time. They usually rest for a while before moving on to the next location.

This was the first time he heard Zhong Yi talk about taking a rest.

"So when does the vacation end?"

"Three or four months."

"Okay, be careful on the road then."

After finishing the discussion on the work arrangements for the second half of the year, Chen Qian walked out of Zhong Yi's room and went straight to his own room.

Chen Qian was sitting at the desk with a small velvet box on the table.

The box was opened, and inside lay a moon pendant inlaid with a yellow gem.

Different from the sun that Ikemu entrusted to him.

Because Chen Qian once sent it to a silver jewelry store to wash it on a free afternoon, and then it was sealed up for various reasons.

So the chain now shines as if it just came from the hands of a silversmith.

Looking at the necklace that he had carefully kept, Chen Qian was filled with a myriad of emotions.

He reached into his pocket and when he felt a hint of coolness, he took out the thing and placed it on the table.

The two necklaces, which had been separated for six years, were now placed together by Chen Qian, with the moon and the sun close together.

Under the sunlight from the window, the two gems emitted a rainbow-like light, just like when they were first separated, which was very dazzling.

Chen Qian's gaze was fixed on the two gems that were close to him.

When something happens, people will only wonder.

But if something else is happening at the same time, people start to wonder if there's a connection.

As for Chen Qian, he had already started to worry.

"Xiao Qian..."

"Xiao Qian?"

Chen Qian's wandering soul was suddenly caught back. He looked up at Chen Tian across the table in a daze and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?"

"Nothing, just daydreaming." Chen Qian smiled, shook his head slightly, and then asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said I have an appointment tonight, you don't have to wait for me." Chen Tian picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Chen Qian's bowl.

"Then I'll be alone tonight." Chen Qian put the ribs into his mouth and muttered with a melancholy look on his face, "We were supposed to go to the wedding banquet, but ended up staying to travel. Zhongyi also went back to Denmark yesterday..."

"No one cares about you, so just be happy." Chen Tian glanced at him speechlessly.

"But you haven't gone to work yet, is that okay?" Chen Qian stuffed another big mouthful of rice, puffing up his entire face.

"I can't take a holiday?" Chen Tian didn't raise his eyes and ate his meal quietly and politely.

Chen Qian nodded nonchalantly.

After dinner, Chen Qian curled up on the sofa and scrolled through his phone out of boredom.

Just as he was thinking about whether to play a game, an unbelievable news push popped up, confirming his difficult-to-dispel worries in recent days.

The headline of the news item was: "The President of Shibai Group and the Young Master of the Chi Family are suspected to be missing."
