Tender trapping

Zhuo Wenlang lost contact.

Ran Xu's first reaction when he heard the news was disbelief.

He even thought about the possibility of Lee cheating him with this matter, but it was quickly overturned by Ran Xu himself——Zhuo Wenlang would never use such a low-level behavior, in essence, that person is a very delicate romantic , His lies are only based on "elegance", and Zhuo Wenlang can't do this kind of thing that is easy to be exposed and has no aesthetic feeling.

He asked Lee loudly on the phone why they couldn't contact Zhuo Wenlang - Ran Xu couldn't believe that he had such an aggressive day.

"Zhuo Wenlang is a person who separates public and private affairs very much. As you know, he likes to divide his life into different parts, work, love, hobbies...they have clear boundaries and do not interfere with each other, because It will make life easier and more secure for him."

"I don't want to hear about your professional knowledge right now..." Ran Xu's face was full of confusion, "How can I help you?"

Lee couldn't answer this question, he just sighed and told Ran Xu that Zhuo Wenlang's assistant was going to pick him up now.

"I was just thinking maybe he'd like to see you."

Ran Xu didn't understand what was the point of Lee telling him these things now, they didn't even know where Zhuo Wenlang was, so what did it matter if they wanted to see him or not?

Sit in the car again and go back to Chenshan Villa. The street scene there has changed. From spring to summer, the leaves of the green trees have become more lush, and the crabapple flowers have also withered, disappearing among the many ordinary trees.

Ran Xu didn't even realize that he hadn't seen Zhuo Wenlang for more than a month, because the figure of that person still appeared in his mind from time to time, and couldn't get away... as if he would never leave.

He didn't understand if this was the "change" that Lin Yingying said, but the name Zhuo Wenlang was like a thorn in the middle of his change of seasons, blocking the passage of time, and also made Ran Xu feel some kind of space disordered trance—— So much so that when he heard Lee say "something went wrong", his heart almost stopped beating.

Everything in the Chenshan villa is the same as when he left, all the furnishings have not changed, the blanket that Ran Xu brought out from the guest room is still draped next to the sofa in the living room, and on the coffee table in front of the sofa, in a white porcelain vase, are standing several branch of fresh blooming lilies.

The oldest aunt in the villa was waving her hands in a panic, clarifying to the man in the suit in front of her: "Since Mr. Ran left, Mr. Zhuo hasn't been back to the residence here, ah, let me think... I called once and reminded me to change the water for the lilies at home, take good care of them, and buy new ones if they wither, and I did so..."

The man in the suit was very impatient and interrupted violently: "No one wants to talk to you about flowers! I'm asking, Zhuo Wenlang! Do you know how terrible it would be for the company if he disappeared!"

"Okay, if you make things difficult for her, you won't be able to ask anything." Zhuo Minghui was also in the room unexpectedly, and he grabbed the arm of the man in the suit.

"Zhuo Ming..." Ran Xu couldn't help calling his name in a low voice.

Zhuo Minghui turned his head and saw Ran Xu in surprise. He seemed to have something to say, but he quickly closed his mouth, let out a "hum" from his throat, and stopped talking, but stepped aside and stood with arms folded , shortening the distance between the two.

Lee had to come out to smooth things over at this time: "Okay, now is not the time to argue about this."

Ran Xu's rapidly beating heart returned to its normal speed with the passage of time, he had to calm down, panicking at this time would not help things at all.

There were quite a few people in the room, most of whom were unfamiliar faces to Ran Xu.

They were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and looked like those successful elites. They chattered about Zhuo Wenlang's disappearance, and the word that was mentioned the most was "loss". Ran Xu worked hard to deal with it. The key information -

These people were afraid that Zhuo Wenlang's disappearance would cause irreversible losses to the company. For this reason, they even did not hesitate to bring the young master Zhuo Minghui over.

"This matter must not be spread. There are too many people waiting for our jokes." But his expression was very serious, a bit pathetic and funny, "My plan is to create the illusion that brothers are fighting to usurp power, and then let Zhuo Minghui take over."

"It's ridiculous!!" It was another man who accused him, and he glared at the fat man, "Everyone knows Mr. Sun's heart! Zhuo Minghui is a kid who doesn't understand anything. If he comes to take over the company, he will become a Your puppet emperor, ridiculous!"

"I'm doing this for the sake of the company, so don't spit on people!"

All parties in the living room were arguing, but Ran Xu just sat aside blankly. He was like a bystander, watching those people "dancing and dancing" to express their opinions, and the words mixed in them were just money, money, money... …Those who don’t know seem to think that Zhuo Wenlang is dead, and a group of vicious dogs are waiting to tear his bones out.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

Zhuo Minghui didn't know when he had already sat next to him. The summer weather was hot, Zhuo Minghui changed into short sleeves, and his strong forearm appeared in Ran Xu's field of vision, with complicated tattoos painted on it.

Ran Xu didn't look up at him, but kept silent.

"You may sympathize with Zhuo Wenlang, but you have to know that the world around him is constructed by himself. He is like an ignorant person. He won't invest his feelings in others, and naturally he can't exchange them. Sincerely... even if he knows the face of these people, but for him, as long as these people can bring him benefits, they are good pawns."

"Chess pieces naturally don't worry about the life and death of chess players, they only worry about winning or losing the game."

The quarrel on the other side was still going on, and they seemed to have forgotten that the most imminent thing was Zhuo Wenlang's whereabouts.

Lee tried to quell the whole quarrel, but to no avail, he had to turn around and walk towards Ran Xu, bent down slightly, and brushed his sweaty hair: "Oh, I really can't do anything about them, these are a few from the company. It’s a big shareholder, but Zhuo Wenlang still has people from his family, and they’ve already gone looking for clues.”

"By the way, classmate Xiao Ran, maybe he told you where he is going? After all, speaking of it, his disappearance is to make you...... Well, after a while, he probably didn't find anyone else on the way." Lee I am ashamed to say the word "house arrest", especially in front of Zhuo Minghui.

Ran Xu replied "I'll think about it", and then fell into a long silence.

Time passed by, and the quarrel between those people seemed to be intensifying. Ran Xu had a headache when he heard it, and finally couldn't help but explode.

"Get out! Get out and make a noise!"

He was like a fiery little piece of metal thrown into the water. The sudden eruption caught everyone by surprise. Ran Xu didn't know how he had the courage to sweep out those so-called "social elites". A thin film, before he could react, his body had already acted first.

He's had enough.

Zhuo Wenlang, this person seems to be tormenting him no matter whether he appears or disappears... Ran Xu's heart seems to be twisted, and every time it beats in his chest, it hurts badly.

"I might know where he went..."

Ran Xu sat back on the sofa dejectedly: "He did tell me that he was going to shoot."
