Dead but not stiff

After the frustration of confessing his confession that night, Fang Shi seemed to have deliberately asked for leave to avoid suspicion, and did not show up at the company for three consecutive days. Shen Bai was secretly relieved about this.Because although he was also confessed, in Shen Bai's heart, Fang Shi was different from Wu Jiaying.

Needless to say, Wu Jiaying was forcibly betrothed by her parents, and she was extremely hypocritical. Later, she dared to bully the old lady and Gu Xien—bah, she even dared to bully the old lady.

As for Fang Shi, one is Gu Xien’s friend — bah, Tong Ying’s student, with an introverted personality and a pure heart, and the other is that he agreed to the other party’s approaching him at the beginning, although he didn’t know Fang Shi had other intentions at the time , but it's always right to like someone, and it's hard for him to endure it for so long when he was still with that person.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai actually felt a little bit of guilt in his heart. Did he refuse too ruthlessly? See if he forced the child to dare not show his face for two or three days in a row. Don't think about doing stupid things again.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, Shen Bai couldn't sit still, he walked out of the office quickly, walked to Zhao Wanwan's place, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Fang Shi asked for a few days off?"

"Ah?" Zhao Wanwan looked at him in a daze, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'm not in charge of his leave process."

"Go and ask." With a succinct sentence, Shen Bai straightened his suit and tie, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and strode out.

When Shen Bai's elevator got down to the company's garage, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number from S City. He wanted to refuse to answer it, but when he pressed his finger, he accidentally picked it up.

A slightly familiar male voice asked him in a serious and eager tone: "Is it Shen Bai? Is Gu Xi'en with you?"

When Shen Bai heard the name, his heart skipped a beat reflexively, but he asked indifferently: "Who are you?"

"Lu Chuening." The other party continued to ask him concisely, "Is Gu Xi'en with you?"

Shen Bai laughed and said: "You are looking for someone too roundabout, don't say that I have nothing to do with him now, it just has something to do, he is a person from City C and lost, you can call someone from City S to look for it, it will help ?"

"I'm with him in City S," Lu Chuening said in a still serious tone, speaking quickly: "I came here a few days ago, I had something to separate from him yesterday morning, but since yesterday afternoon he has been unable to get through the phone, I have something to do now If you can’t leave, you can figure it out yourself.”

After saying this sentence over there, he hung up the phone, and what was left to Shen Bai was a beeping busy tone, and a heart that gradually began to beat violently.His thoughts only froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and quickly dialed out the string of numbers that he had memorized in his mind. He was struggling, but after a few seconds, he heard a mechanical female voice prompting that he could not connect.

"Fuck." Shen Bai suddenly burst into an angry curse, because he suddenly remembered that his mobile phone had already been blocked by the other party, and no matter what, it would only be in a state of being unable to connect.

In a hurry, he immediately called Jiang Yingyue again, and immediately reported Gu Xien's cell phone number to the other party, "You can call this number now, and tell me the result."

During the more than a minute of waiting for the news, Shen Bai stood in front of the front of the car with his arms folded, his right hand clenched into a fist against the tip of his nose, his rapid breathing matched his heartbeat, which made him almost unable to control the frantic emotions that were approaching the critical point.

The phone rang again and pulled him back from the edge of the abyss. With trembling hands, he pressed the connection quickly, and heard Jiang Yingyue's same low voice replying to him: "I can't get through."

"Fuck..." He punched the roof of the car, turned around and leaned heavily on the car door. Jiang Yingyue over there asked softly, "Is it Gu Xien's call?"

"Yes, he came to S City, with his friends, but now neither I nor his friends can contact him. Damn it, Gu Xien, where the hell did you go!" Shen Bai couldn't hold back Finally roaring out, Jiang Yingyue sensed his out-of-control emotions, paused, and said calmly: "Don't worry, he is an adult, he must have the minimum safety awareness. Maybe he went to the signal Bad place, or simply lost the phone."

"I can't do it." Shen Bai's voice was panicked, and hearing Jiang Yingyue's ears stunned him, "If it's someone else, even my parents, I can calm myself down first. .But he is Gu Xien, I can't help it because he is Gu Xien."

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yingyue said quickly, "I'll call Tang Qi."

"Wait," Shen Bai stopped him, his expression finally calmed down a little, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell Tang Qi that Gu Xien came with Lu Chuanbu's younger brother."

"Okay." Jiang Yingyue responded quickly and hung up the phone.

Shen Bai put down his cell phone, opened the car door and sat in, the churning thoughts in his heart were like a mess.

If it was true what Lu Chuening said, from yesterday afternoon to now, it has been almost 24 hours since he couldn't get in touch, how many things can happen in 24 hours, Shen Bai dare not think about it.He slammed his fist on the steering wheel again, his whole heart seemed to be tormented in an oil pan, and a deep pain was transmitted to every pore in his body in an instant.

The phone rang again, waking him up from the sweaty nightmare. He answered it without even looking at it. The voice sounded manic and eager. The other person was frightened by his intense emotions, and stammered: "Shen ...Mr. Shen, I asked, and the manager of the administration department said that Fang Shi didn't ask him for leave, and...I also called Fang Shi's cell phone just now, but it said that he couldn't get through. "

"Fuck..." Shen Bai finally uttered the third swear word today. Zhao Wanwan was completely shocked and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, if you have something to do first, I thought you were in a hurry, so I directly I'm calling. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll hang up first if I have nothing to do."

"Wait a minute," but Shen Bai stopped her and said to her: "I will send you a mobile phone number, which belongs to the teacher of Fang Shi School. You can contact him directly to ask, and let me know the result."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Wanwan responded repeatedly with lingering fear.

After Shen Bai sent Tong Ying's mobile phone number to Zhao Wanwan, he leaned back dejectedly and covered his face with his palm.

Gu Xien, don't get into trouble.

You can do whatever you want, even if you take my heart and play with it wantonly again, you must definitely treat me well.

About five or six minutes later, the phone vibrated again. Shen Bai picked it up and looked at it. A look of disappointment flashed across his face, but he still picked it up and asked Zhao Wanwan calmly, "How is it? Have you got in touch yet?" ?”

"The big thing is not right, Mr. Shen!" Zhao Wanwan's suddenly panicked tone made Shen Bai's heart sink to the bottom of the abyss, "Fang Shi's teacher said that Fang Shi hadn't returned to school since the day before yesterday. The family hasn't received his call these days. Mr. Shen," Zhao Wanwan's worried voice turned into tears: "You think Fang Shi met some bad guys, right?"

"Don't worry," Shen Bai said calmly, "Tell their teacher to call the police directly. By the way, ask the classmates or friends who saw him last time, and ask Fang Shi what he told them."

"Okay," Zhao Wanwan hurriedly responded, and before hanging up, Liushen asked Shen Bai helplessly: "Mr. Shen, do you think Fang Shi will have something to do?"

"No." Shen Bai replied to her almost without thinking, "Do as I tell you, don't think about it."

It has been an hour since Jiang Yingyue replied to Shen Bai's message, and during this hour, since Shen Bai hung up Zhao Wanwan's call, he continued to stare at his phone intently, as if looking away slightly, It would be like missing the first call from Jiang Yingyue.

"I found it," Jiang Yingyue finally brought good news, "A hotel staff member said that Gu Xien went out from the hotel gate at around two o'clock yesterday afternoon, walked across the road and got into a Mercedes-Benz Metris. The staff said he didn’t see the license plate number clearly because he was too far away. At the Lu’s house, Tang Qi also asked someone, but it had nothing to do with them. When Lu Chuanbu heard that you were looking for someone, he specifically asked if he wanted to help.”

"Okay, I see." Jiang Yingyue's heart was terrified by Shen Bai's unexpected calmness, and he slowed down his tone to persuade: "You want to drive a little bit, since you are getting on a commercial car that looks respectable, don't you?" As for what excessive things will happen, it may be a matter of work."

"I couldn't think about it, just thinking about anything that could happen to him in 24 hours, I felt like I was going crazy."

"Shen Bai!" Jiang Yingyue suddenly raised her voice, "Since you fucking still like him, why did you break up? Is the drama of bitterness fun?"

"It's not that I want to break up," Shen Bai said gloomily, "If I were given another chance, I would never let him go out that morning."

Jiang Yingyue choked for a moment, and asked cautiously after a while: "Then what do you want to do now?"

"Give me the address of that hotel."

"Hey, they said they didn't see the license plate number clearly."

"Someone will always see it," Shen Bai said slowly, "as long as the money is enough."

According to Shen Bai's instructions, Zhao Wanwan called Fang Shi's teacher and told them to call the police immediately. Tong Ying treated this kind of thing vigorously, and immediately dialed 110 to report the case to the police and explained the situation.Unexpectedly, just half an hour later, I received a reply from the police, and directly checked Fang Shi's appearance and identity information with Tong Ying again, and then told him that just two days ago, another district received a reply from the police. A call to the police at the front desk of a chain hotel said that someone committed suicide by drinking sleeping pills in their hotel room. Although he was rescued in the hospital, he is still in a coma. The police are also eagerly looking for his family members.

Shen Bai hurriedly drove all the way to the hotel, but halfway received another call from Zhao Wanwan. He waited for a few seconds, and finally decided to answer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the connection was made, I heard Zhao Wanwan's wailing voice, piercing the eardrum through the mobile phone with great impact, "Mr. Shen, Fang Shi has been found!" Shen Bai just wanted to know, so he listened. She continued to cry and said: "But, he sneaked away to take sleeping pills and committed suicide! The police said that although he was rescued after being sent to the hospital, he is still unconscious. What should I do, Mr. Shen? Do you want to contact Fang? Are the family members coming over?"

Shen Bai drove to the side of the road, slammed on the brakes, and said in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Zhao Wanwan sobbed and said, "I didn't believe it when I heard it just now. Is there anything Fang Shi can't think of about committing suicide? Mr. Shen, I'll give you the address of the hospital. If you're fine, go and see him first. He His teachers and classmates are already rushing there, and I will go to see him after get off work later."

If it weren't for the pain of clenching his fists and pinching his nails into the flesh, Shen Bai would have thought he was in a dream, or maybe God saw that he was living too well, and intentionally added some variety to his ordinary life adjustment?

If he had known that Fang Shi would develop into the current situation, he should not have casually agreed to the other party to come to the company for an internship.

It is said that misfortune comes from the mouth, and Shen Bai a few months ago would never have imagined that a small matter that he said casually, would fall like a bomb a few months later, leaving him with a shocking hole.

No matter what, Shen Bai stepped on the accelerator again, and merged into the forward traffic again.

Gu Xi'en has not heard from him yet, and he really has no time to care about the safety of others, even though a large part of Fang Shi's suicide was caused by his failure to confess to him.But there is only such a small space in his heart, and it is already full to pretend to be Gu Xien.

Shen Bai drove all the way to the hotel quickly, jumped out of the car and rushed in. Under the terrified expression of the front desk staff who was about to pick up the phone to call the police, he asked menacingly: "There is a guest named Gu Xi'en who came from you yesterday afternoon. Go out here, do you remember the license plate number of the car he got in?"

"I'm sorry, sir, we can't disclose this information to you, it belongs to the privacy of the guests."

"So someone still saw the license plate number, right?" Shen Bai asked aggressively.

"Sorry." The front desk lady said politely, "We can't disclose it."

"Where's your manager?" Shen Bai had a gloomy face, which made the front desk lady turn pale, "Call your manager out, I'll talk to him."

The front desk lady looked at him in embarrassment, Shen Bai didn't want to wait at all, so he asked again: "Where's your manager?"

The front desk lady looked away helplessly, but suddenly her eyes widened, she looked behind Shen Bai, and said loudly: "Sir, the guest you are looking for is back."

Shen Bai turned around abruptly, but the next moment, like the lady at the front desk, his eyes widened instantly.

Outside the revolving glass door of the hotel, a black Mercedes-Benz business car was parked directly opposite. The second door was pushed open, and a young man with a good temperament and a handsome face was getting out of the car, and then walked to the front door, followed by The people in the car nodded and smiled, and seemed to say a few words.

"Gu Xi'en!" Shen Bai roared with emotion, and almost everyone in all directions looked here in shock. The young man outside the door with his back to the hotel door couldn't help but tremble when he heard the voice, and then turned around slowly. , looking in astonishment at the man approaching him aggressively.

A middle-aged man asked in the Mercedes-Benz: "What's going on?"

"It's okay." Gu Xien hurriedly turned his head and said to the people in the car, "You go first, thank you for taking me back."

The man laughed, and there was a hint of approval in his mouth: "Madam's sons are really excellent."

Shen Bai rushed to the glass door on the left side of the hotel, but the door seemed to be against him on purpose, it couldn't be opened even if he pulled it in or pushed it out, the doorman on the other side quickly opened the door at his hand, and bent over to signal: " You can come here, sir."

Because of the delay of more than half a minute, when Shen Bai chased him out, the Mercedes Benz outside the door had already started its engine and sped away.

Shen Bai glared at Gu Xien angrily, the strange look in his eyes disappeared for a moment, then he looked at him with a surprised and indifferent expression and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Have you bought this land?"

Gu Xien frowned slightly: "Speak well."

Shen Bai sneered: "I fucking talk like this, you don't like it? I'm sorry, because you can't control it."

Gu Xien stared at him for two seconds, turned around and walked towards the hotel door, but was grabbed by the arm by Shen Bai on the way, but Gu Xien's body felt like an electric shock in an instant, he raised his hand and tried to shake him away, then swung him away The force was so great that it hit Shen Bai, who was half a head taller and much stronger than him, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Before Shen Bai could stabilize his mind, Gu Xien said coldly: "Since I don't care, then I don't want to. The sky is high and the sea is wide, Mr. Shen can go wherever he wants. I just ask you to hold your hand high and let me go."

The face of Shen Bai, who was still in shock, was obviously a little pale, but after listening to Gu Xien's words, a little livid was attached. He was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled lightly. All the mountains and rivers in his eyes faded away, leaving only a piece of In the wilderness, there was a resolute hatred, looking straight into Gu Xien's eyes.

"I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe it. Gu Xien, do you think I'm a complete idiot?" He said with a smile, the smile in his eyes was true, and the words he uttered were also true, "Before you come here I said to myself, even if I take my heart and play with you wantonly again, you must treat me well. But now I suddenly don’t think so, because I think, in fact, you don’t need Such a heart is useless to you."

As Shen Bai said, he slowly walked towards Gu Xien. He stretched out his hand and held the other person's shoulder for the last time. He felt the other person's body trembling as well. More or less, you are also suffering.

Shen Bai lowered his head, and kissed the other person's forehead, "This time, let me do the talking." He looked at Gu Xien's pupils constricted instantly, and felt extremely happy in his heart, and then, word by word, he said affectionately Said to him: "Gu Xi'en, let's separate completely for now."
