Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Qiao Nansheng kept glancing at his watch, but even when it was time to leave work, the familiar car still hadn't appeared downstairs.

If the entire afternoon of waiting had filled him with the joy of growing love, then when the time came, all that remained was boundless worry.

Song Lingge's phone rang, but no one answered.

Qiao Nansheng suddenly realized that perhaps the panic he felt in the afternoon was not anticipation or joy, but fear and unease.

After waiting for a long time without seeing Song Lingge, Qiao Nansheng called the Zhao family, only to learn that Song Lingge had not returned home since she left.

To avoid worrying Lin Xiuzhi and Zhao Zhangguo, he lied and said that Song Lingge had gone to a friend's house.

Once a lie is told, it must be covered up.

For the first time in his life, Qiao Nansheng was overwhelmed and at a loss.

He tried his best to suppress these emotions. He knew very well that he must not panic, especially at times like these.

He contacted Yu Shaofen and decided to ask her to meet Li Meimei.

"Nansheng, don't worry too much. Lingge is very skilled, she should be fine."

Since they met, Yu Shaofen had never seen Qiao Nansheng's brows relax.

But these words did not make Qiao Nansheng feel any better; on the contrary, they made him even more worried.

Given Song Lingge's intelligence and skills, Qiao Nansheng dared not even consider the consequences if she couldn't dodge.

However, there is another possibility: the bold woman went along willingly.

That's why he decided he had to find Fang Guanghua first. If it really was Fang Guanghua who attacked Song Lingge, even if Li Meimei was unaware of it, she could still find some clues from her.

"Why are you here too?" Li Meimei was genuinely surprised to see Qiao Nansheng and Yu Shaofen appear together.

Qiao Nansheng looked at her and asked directly, "Can you contact Fang Guanghua?"

"Why would I contact him?" Li Meimei asked warily.

"Stop talking nonsense, where's your phone?" Yu Shaofen said to Qiao Nansheng, and then directly grabbed Li Meimei.

Aside from playing around in the dormitory before, Li Meimei had never seen anything like this before, and she screamed in fright.

Qiao Nansheng stopped Yu Shaofen: "Don't do this, let me talk to her."

"There's no point in talking to someone like her. She and Fang Guanghua are birds of a feather." After venting her anger, Yu Shaofen turned away angrily.

Li Meimei was also annoyed: "Yu Shaofen, are you out of your mind? What exactly did you ask me out for? Do you know that I can sue you for this?"

Yu Shaofen wanted to argue, but she held back when she met Qiao Nansheng's gaze.

Qiao Nansheng looked at Li Meimei: "Lingge is missing."

"Gone? What do you mean by that?" Li Meimei exclaimed in surprise.

Qiao Nansheng could tell that Li Meimei's surprise was genuine, and it seemed that Lingge's disappearance had nothing to do with her.

"I'll get straight to the point: I suspect Fang Guanghua kidnapped Lingge."

“How could that be?” Li Meimei tried to explain, but Qiao Nansheng interrupted her directly.

“Lingge has always considered you a good friend, which is why she has reminded you again and again. Whether you appreciate it or not is irrelevant to her, but you know very well whether what she said is true or false. She could have chosen not to say those things, but she did anyway.”

"She said all those things out of consideration for your friendship. Now that she's disappeared, we have no choice but to come to you. You probably know yourself that we wouldn't make baseless accusations without some evidence."

"Even if we disregard Lingge, do you really not want to know if it's related to Fang Guanghua? If something really happens to Lingge because of him, putting aside whether we can accept it, do you think you can accept it yourself?"

Li Meimei could not accept it.

Even though Fang Guanghua had done countless wrong things, she couldn't bear the thought that he might end up with Song Lingge.

"So what exactly do you want from me? But let me make this clear beforehand, I won't allow you to hurt him."

Yu Shaofen glared at her disdainfully. If Fang Guanghua really made a move on Song Lingge, would it be up to her to say whether or not it was permissible?

"Contact Fang Guanghua first to confirm his location." Qiao Nansheng didn't care about these words; he was very clear about his goal.

Li Meimei took out her phone and mustered up a lot of courage to dial Fang Guanghua's number.

The phone rang, but no one answered.

Her heart clenched, and she hurriedly explained, "He might not be able to answer the phone right now."

“Then let’s play again,” Yu Shaofen said.

Li Meimei nervously dialed the number, only to hear a message indicating the phone was switched off.

"What...what does this mean? What should I do now?" The notification sound from her phone completely threw Li Meimei into a panic.

"What else could it mean? Lingge's disappearance is definitely related to Fang Guanghua," Yu Shaofen said angrily.

Li Meimei was now completely at a loss. She no longer cared about Yu Shaofen's attitude and just stared blankly at Qiao Nansheng, hoping that he could come up with a good solution.

Qiao Nansheng's already furrowed brows furrowed even more.

Li Meimei's inability to contact Fang Guanghua seemed to confirm their judgment that Song Lingge had most likely been taken away by Fang Guanghua.

If Lingge went along voluntarily, that's fine; otherwise, who knows what Fang Guanghua might do.

Qiao Nansheng dared not think any further. His immediate priority was to find Song Lingge's location as soon as possible.

"If Fang Guanghua really took Lingge away, he would definitely find a place to hide her, otherwise he would be too conspicuous and would definitely be discovered. So, do you know where else he might be in Nanzhou?"

This question really stumped Li Meimei.

Li Meimei suddenly realized that she knew absolutely nothing about Fang Guanghua.

Aside from their marital home and her family home, she had no idea where else Fang Guanghua could go.

"Can't you think of anything at all?" Yu Shaofen asked anxiously.

This woman's romantic mind is truly incurable; she's become so estranged from the person she shares her bed with.

Li Meimei shook her head dejectedly.

She really wanted to come up with many clues quickly, but... things didn't go as planned.

“I remember Lingge saying that Fang Guanghua has been indulging Zhou Songmei’s behavior, apparently because he wants the business of Nanzhou Middle School. What exactly does he do now?” Qiao Nansheng asked.

“Cement, he previously contracted a cement factory. When Nanzhou Middle School was to be renovated, he thought…” Li Meimei said happily.

She finally felt that she was of some use, and that she and Fang Guanghua were no longer completely unconnected.

Do you know the exact location of the cement plant?

"Ah this..."

"What are you talking about? Don't you even know where the cement factory is?" Yu Shaofen was truly exasperated.

Li Meimei shook her head: "I've never been there. I only know that it's called something like Xinghua Cement Plant."
