Chapter 128 Mysterious Disappearance

Feng Bujue called as expected. Xu Nian could clearly feel that the other party was trying hard to suppress his nervousness, as if he was very worried that Xu Nian would burn the bridge after crossing the river.

Xu Nian felt a little funny, but considering the other party's identity and the fact that the other party was still investigating his case, he did not regret it, but told the other party not to worry, saying that since he had promised, he would definitely not break his promise. .

Feng Bujue was relieved, and praised Xu Nian's character again and again, and said that he would have someone send the things over in two days.

Xu Nian was even more amused, thinking that if it weren't for the 300,000 glorious coins and 100 bottles of spiritual catalysts promised last time, he would not have agreed so easily.

Finally, there was the body of Brother Liu Bucheng. Perhaps because it could be arranged as a bonfire, the courtyard took the body away before he was resurrected, and no one knew where it was placed.

It is said that the order was given by the eldest lady herself.

The Steel Rose Legion also had ideas, but they had no choice but to let the people in the courtyard take it away under the order of the eldest lady.

This is what happened after Xu Nian's "death". Although only one or two days have passed, too many things have happened.

Especially that Peng Zijiao, who knew from some unknown source that Xu Nian had the old slate that could revive him, always came to assassinate Xu Nian and tried to destroy the slate.

Zuo Qiuyue stopped her several times before, but this time Zuo Qiuyue left because of something, so Peng Zijiao took advantage of it again.

Fortunately, Xu Nian was finally resurrected this time, so she didn't give Peng Zijiao another chance.

When Zuo Qiuyue talked about this, she sighed, as if she was thankful that Xu Nian was lucky and had a good life. It was really the right time to wake up.

There was nothing to do next. Zuo Qiuyue had to deal with Wu Qunyou's affairs with the people from the Glorious God Cult, and Xu Nian had to go back to explain to Sister Wang about Brother Liu Bucheng's situation, so the two separated.

Xu Nian drove back to Minglun Street alone.

Sister Wang was still burning paper for her husband in front of the mourning hall, but her expression was obviously much better.

Seeing Xu Nian coming back, Sister Wang's eyes flashed with hope.

Xu Nian sighed inwardly and repeated the prepared story.

In his words, Liu Bucheng was not killed by Peng Zizhen who took advantage of their old relationship, but was suddenly attacked by a monster while reminiscing with his comrades, and died to protect his comrades.

As for the army's vague words, it was because his comrade was the head of the Steel Rose Corps, and because of his sensitive identity, the army had to keep it secret.

After listening to Xu Nian's embellished and touching story, Sister Wang cried even more sadly, but Xu Nian could feel that the anger in Sister Wang's eyes disappeared, replaced by the peace of relief.

"Xu Nian, thank you. I believe you. I believe that your brother Liu sacrificed for his comrades."

Xu Nian's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "Sister Wang, please accept my condolences. I have asked the city defense army. They are going to increase the compensation three times and arrange a good position for Brother Liu in the martyrs' cemetery for generations to be admired by mankind."

Sister Wang nodded with sobs: "Thank you!"

Xu Nian looked at Sister Liu's sad look, and he felt bad, especially after he had just finished telling a deliberate lie. He was even more uncomfortable, so he said in a complicated tone: "Sister Wang, the dead are gone, and the living must live well after all. Even for Brother Liu, you have to cheer up."

Sister Wang looked at Xu Nian gratefully: "Don't worry, I will remove the mourning hall tomorrow. Remember to come to my store to show your support."

Xu Nian looked at Sister Wang, whose complexion was gradually getting better, and was relieved. He blinked and smiled: "Then I understand, you won't be polite?"

"Little guy!" Sister Wang burst into tears and laughed, rolled her eyes, and stood up.

Seeing that Sister Wang had finally recovered her spirits, Xu Nian was completely relieved and stood up to say goodbye.

Sister Wang tried to keep him, but after Xu Nian said that she had something else to do, she stopped forcing him to stay and only told him to remember to come and eat rice noodles tomorrow.

Xu Nian naturally nodded in agreement.

Just like that, after returning to the office, he finally sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally have a good rest.

However, before he could be happy for too long, Fang Shuwan ran in with a panicked look on her face.

Xu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly comforted the other party to sit down, and then asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fang Shuwan's eyes were red, and she said anxiously: "It's Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi is missing!"

Xiaoqi?

Xu Nian was stunned at first, then frowned and said: "Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Fang Shuwan saw Xu Nian's calm appearance, and her heart inexplicably calmed down, and she quickly told the story again.

It turned out that in the morning, her son Zhou Qi said he wanted to play with the old man's ring with brother Xu Nian. She said that your brother Xu Nian was not there, so Zhou Qi was very unhappy and stayed in the room alone.

She didn't think there was anything wrong. She thought that no matter how unhappy the child was, he would forget it in a while. As a result, just now, she was going to call Zhou Qi to come out for dinner, but there was no response after calling for a long time.

This time she was anxious, so she forced the door open and found that Zhou Qi was gone!

"Gone?"

Xu Nian frowned when he heard this: "Are you sure he didn't go out?"

"I'm sure!"

Fang Shuwan shook her head firmly: "Since Xiao Qi entered the room, I have been watching TV in the living room and have not left in the middle. If he sneaked out, he couldn't avoid me!"

"What about the window in his room?"

As soon as Xu Nian finished asking, he slapped his head: "I actually forgot about this. All the windows on Minglun Street have security windows."

"Yes." Fang Shuwan's eyes burst into tears, "I obviously watched Xiao Qi enter the room, but why is he missing now?"

"Don't worry yet!" Xu Nian patted her shoulder comfortingly and thought, "Did you call the police?"

"I called." Fang Shuwan said and cried: "But the people at the security office said that a case cannot be filed if a person has been missing for less than 24 hours. They asked me to look for it myself first!"

Xu Nian's expression changed and he said angrily: "If anything happens to these bastards who are not doing anything serious, it will be over within twenty-four hours!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Xu Nian, what do you think I should do?"

Fang Shuwan burst into tears and held Xu Nian's arm tightly.

Xu Nian thought for a while and said seriously: "In this case, you take me to Xiaoqi's room first, maybe I can find something."

Fang Shuwan nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Next, Xu Nian went to the other party's home under the leadership of Fang Shuwan.

This is not Xu Nian's first time here, but this time he feels very embarrassed because there is a photo hanging on the wall behind the sofa in the living room.

In the photo, he, Fang Shuwan and Zhou Qi were eating together.

It wasn't there when he came last time, but now it was hanging openly in the living room. It was impossible to say that he wasn't embarrassed.

Fang Shuwan seemed to realize something, and waved her hands with a flushed face: "Yes, I'm sorry, I just..."

But she couldn't say what happened next.
