After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

but…

She looked away and said calmly, "It's not the right time yet. Now, get up, go into the bedroom, lie down on the bed and take a nap. When you wake up, we can start talking again!"

"what?"

Seeing his surprised look, Lin Guiyi feigned displeasure: "What? Didn't you understand?"

"No, it's just..." Xu Qiuye stammered, "But you were in a real hurry, you even came all the way here..."

Lin Guiyi interrupted: "Who said I was in a hurry? I was in a hurry, yet I took my time letting you wash up, drink porridge, and even made you honey water! You should go to sleep now, I don't want you to suddenly die while we're talking."

Xu Qiuye nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to sleep right away, but what about you?"

"Don't worry about that, go to sleep." Lin Guiyi came to his side and pushed him into the bedroom. "Sleep well."

After confirming that he was lying in bed, Lin Guiyi left the bedroom, closed the door, and sat in the living room for a while. After making sure that there was nothing unusual in the bedroom, she quietly left.

She casually tossed the trash she was carrying into the bin as she passed by.

Her phone rang at that moment. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, so she hung up immediately.

The phone rang again. She stared at the screen for a while before answering.

Hopefully it's not some spam call, otherwise she'll regret answering it.

When the call connected, Lin Guiyi was about to ask a question when he was stunned by a string of profanities coming from the other end.

"Lin Guiyi, what are you doing? I've called you so many times and you haven't answered. Are you deaf or something? Are you feeling guilty for not answering the phone?!"

"Stop, stop... Lin Shuyun?"

The person on the other end gave a very strong "hmm".

Lin Guiyi frowned: "What do you want from me? I'm busy right now and don't have time to chat with you."

Lin Shuyun chuckled coldly twice: "Playing dumb, huh! You don't know what you've done? Hand over Xiaoxiao now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Deep well ice!

Lin Guiyi thought to himself, but said aloud, "Are you stupid? How would I know where Lin Xiaoxiao is? She's over twenty years old, she has hands and feet, where did she go? Why make such a fuss?"

Lin Shuyun was infuriated by her shamelessness: "You tied Xiaoxiao up, and you don't even know where she is!"

"Yes," Lin Guiyi said lazily, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but Lin Xiaoxiao probably just went out to play. Why did you drag me into tying her up? Why would I tie her up? To humiliate her or beat her up?"

"Haha, I called Xiaoxiao as soon as I finished the show yesterday, but she didn't answer. I thought maybe something was wrong, but I called her today and she still didn't answer. I asked her friends and acquaintances, but they didn't answer either. Is that reasonable? No, it's not!"

Lin Guiyi rolled her eyes: "What's unreasonable about it? She just doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

"Impossible! Xiaoxiao tells me everything, and my investigation found that no one has seen her since the first day of this show." His voice was anxious and hurried, full of worry.

Upon hearing this, Lin Guiyi realized that Lin Shuyun might be telling the truth, and Lin Xiaoxiao really had disappeared!

She was somewhat surprised and wondered if Lin Xiaoxiao had deliberately used this tactic to better control Lin Shuyun, manipulate his emotions, make him constantly think about her, and then appear innocent and bewildered again.

However, considering Lin Xiaoxiao's personality, she felt it was unlikely; the other party wasn't that kind of person and wouldn't use such methods.

"Then you shouldn't have come to me. You should have gone to the police officers instead."

Perhaps her words angered him, because Lin Shuyun cursed angrily: "It's because you used some despicable means that Xiaoxiao disappeared."

She didn't like hearing that and interrupted repeatedly: "Don't frame me! I don't know anything. Don't throw all this nonsense at me."

"Who else could it be but you? You've been the one who can't stand Xiaoxiao all this time, and you've been bullying her all the time. And at the very beginning of this episode, you used tricks to make Xiaoxiao leave the show, and then you just disappeared after following Xiaoxiao. You say it has nothing to do with you! Nobody believes that."

Lin Guiyi blinked, a thought seemingly forming in his mind.

He continued talking to the other person, saying, "That's not necessarily true. Lin Xiaoxiao has offended a lot of people. After all, she's a two-faced green tea mistress. She's probably offended a lot of people in private, you just don't know it."

"Shut up!" Lin Shuyun's furious voice rang out. Lin Guiyi irritably moved the phone away and rubbed his ears.

"Keep your voice down"

A roaring voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by heavy breathing; he seemed to be furious with her.

Lin Guiyi smiled broadly, clearly pleased with himself: "I advise you to call the police or find someone else. Don't waste your time on me, since I really don't know anything."

"Lin Guiyi! This is a human life! You're a heartless animal! Tell me everything you know!"

"I already said I don't know. Instead of wasting your time whining here, why don't you go find someone? This is a matter of life and death, why are you still dragging your feet? You're sick in the head!"

"you…"

Lin Guiyi didn't know what happened next, because she hung up the phone right after she finished speaking.

She stood there, thinking about Lin Xiaoxiao's matter, and hesitantly opened her chat history with Yan Cigui. She typed some words, deleting and rewriting them, but at the last moment, she deleted them.

She sighed in frustration and resignedly put her phone in her pocket.

Forget it, these are none of her business.

Besides, isn't seeing Lin Xiaoxiao suffer the thing she always wanted to see?

Lin Guiyi lifted his foot and continued walking forward, stopping after a few steps.

She was somewhat annoyed by her own thoughts and impatiently took out her phone to confirm her guess, hoping it wouldn't be what she thought.

Seeing her agitated state, the system in her mind spoke up: "System, let's eat some melon seeds to find out if Yan Cigui is involved in this matter or not."

No, Yan Cigui is now considered my friend, and I want to confirm this matter myself.

Okay, fine.

The system watched as Lin Guiyi typed a line of text, directly asking if he knew anything about Lin Xiaoxiao's sudden disappearance.

Lin Guiyi held his phone, staring at the words being typed on the screen. He felt inexplicably nervous, his hand gripping the phone tightening unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the screen, feeling dry.

However, this tense feeling didn't last long, as Yan Cigui sent a message.

{? Missing? I don't know, what happened?}

Lin Gui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message, and couldn't help but laugh at his own emotions just now.

{No, let me ask}

{…Lin Guiyi! You suddenly asked me if I'm the one who caused Lin Xiaoxiao's disappearance? You don't believe me!}

Upon receiving this message, Lin Guiyi felt a little guilty: {Haha, I was just afraid you'd do something for me again, wasn't I?}

{...I'm angry, and I need someone to coax me to feel better.} (Image: A cute little angry emoji.)

Lin Guiyi was amused by the cute emoji, feeling that he could imagine Yan Cigui's angry face through the words.
