Chapter 06 The greatest happiness is having someone who cares about you

First, she returned home, then went to the newspaper office, and continued to visit all the places she could possibly go, yet she could not find a trace of her anywhere

Xu Manyu felt that he could pass away peacefully and achieve immortality.

The ringtone of Xi Yangyang suddenly rang again, and she almost instinctively jumped up high: "Afu?"

She shouted several times, but did not hear a single response. She knocked on each door, yet still saw no one. Where has that dead woman gone! Did she fall into the toilet? She pulled out her phone to call her, but when the cheerful ringtone of "Pleasant Goat" rang out from her bag, she felt an overwhelming silence, as if everything had vanished.

Bearing the disdainful gazes of the crowd, she quietly walked out of the restroom. Where on earth has that wretched girl, Xu Duo Fu, gone without even taking her phone and not being in the restroom!

I will take you back" Jiang Chengyue glanced at her and walked straight out

In Xu Duo's mind, there was a loud bang, as if fireworks had exploded. Amidst the flickering lights, she could only see Jiang Chengyue's face, quietly gazing at her. She let out a soft "um" and bit down on Shao Rongping's tongue that had ventured into her mouth.

Not far from the dock, Jiang Cheng could see many blessings in the McDonald's from a distance. Looking at a little boy across the street with a gentle smile, he couldn't help but clench his fist tightly, then slowly relaxed it. George stood beside him with a mocking expression: "I told you she would be fine, as long as you obediently hand over all the goods to us. I really want to do that business, so don't be upset with me. We still need to cooperate well in the future! Alright, that girl is returned to you." George stood beside him with a mocking expression: "I told you she would be fine, as long as you obediently hand over all the goods to us. I really want to do that business, so don't be upset with me. We still need to cooperate well in the future! Alright, that girl is returned to you."

What can he do to me!" Huayu immediately retorted, "He blocks my house every day! I broke his bones! Do you want to go and offer your condolences?

As Xu Manyu's heart raced, he pressed the phone tightly against his ear, barely hearing Jiang Chengyue's emotionless command: "Hang up the phone!"

Help! ... ..." As soon as the call connected, Shao Rongping heard a cry of despair from the other end. Upon listening closely, it was clear that it was not Xu Mufu's voice.

"Who should I contact? Her phone is left here!" Jiang Xiaoman continued to rant angrily, showing no courtesy to the young security guard on the other side, while everyone's attention was focused on this scene.

You should like it. Jiang Cheng glanced at her rolling eyes, then got out of the car to open the door for Xu Dafu. Xu Dafu had no choice but to swallow hard and stepped inside.

He finally relented, staring at Xu Mofu, his eyes filled with a look of hurt

Jiang Cheng took a step back, pulled out a chair, and sat down, his eyes still fixed intently on Xu Mofu: "What are you doing here?"

Cao Aifen called early in the morning, after a lengthy conversation, she subtly expressed her feelings of missing someone. Many Fu knew that she was quite lonely at home, although she had her aunts and cousins to play a little mahjong with, it was not the same as having her own daughter to share joy with. In any case, there wasn't much work at the newspaper, so she planned to request leave in advance to go home and spend the New Year with her.

What happened to her? Where is she? Shao Rongping straightened his body and stared into the dark night ahead, his face looking quite frightening

When I rushed into the store, the young security guard at the entrance immediately took several steps back, blushing as he said, "You, you are back, huh? I have been looking for you for a long time..."

Could it be that out of shame and anger, one would resort to abandoning a corpse in the wilderness

Upon first hearing Jiang Chengyue's voice, Xu Manyu felt a bit dazed, but as soon as she understood his words, an inexplicable sense of loss washed over her. She had kindly reached out to greet him, yet he hurriedly urged her to hang up. Hadn't they agreed to be friends? The underworld truly does not keep its word. She pressed her lips together and, without waiting for Yang Yihao to speak, she directly ended the call.

When she called back, Jiang Xiaoman scolded her fiercely, leaving her feeling utterly humiliated. Later, it was Shao Rongping who answered the phone, speaking in a calm tone that revealed nothing of his feelings, only saying that it was good she was fine. Upon hearing this, she felt a sense of unease; she had originally been eager to return, but now she felt like an ostrich, unwilling to face Shao Rongping. Perhaps it would be better to wait until he left before addressing the matter.

The young security guard hurriedly left, and to onlookers, it seemed as if Jiang Xiaoman was the arrival of the CEO

Xu Fu held the phone in a daze for quite some time, and was somewhat shocked to hear Hua Yu cursing. After a while, she cleared her throat and quietly asked: "What did he do to you?"

"Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" Xu Dufu looked at Jiang Chengyue's calm demeanor with a puzzled expression and said with a smile, "Are you kidding me? I was having dinner with a friend, and I completely forgot to tell her! Oh my God! What time is it now? It's already dark outside! This is a disaster! How could this little brat take me so far! How am I supposed to get back?" Xu Dufu was truly anxious and jumping around. At that moment, she had acted out of kindness, thinking that his mother would be just outside the store, but little did she know that he had taken her so far while chatting and laughing!

Upon hearing her masterful idiom, Xu Manyu let out a sigh of relief, and the previously awkward atmosphere eased considerably. Before she could approach, she saw Jiang Xiaoman freeze for a moment, then dash over, staring at Jiang Chengyue and exclaiming: "Ah! So handsome! How can someone be so extraordinarily handsome!"

Both of them ate until they were stuffed, lying on the chairs pretending to be corpses, not moving at all. After a long while, Xu Fufu finally held his stomach, with a tearful face, and said: "I need to go to the restroom, wait for me"

Xu Duo Fu smiled as he watched him leave, but upon turning around, he saw Jiang Cheng Yue's gloomy face, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat: "What are you doing here? Weren't you in the hospital? Is your leg better?" As he spoke, he bent down to check his leg.

"What kind of alarm should I report before 48 hours? Do you think I'm illiterate?" Jiang Xiaoman glanced at her with disdain, then plopped back down onto the sofa, waving her hand and saying, "Hurry up and help me think of a way to go. Aren't there surveillance cameras? Quickly pull them up and take a look!"

Jiang Xiaoman noticed that Xu Yufu, who had been smiling like a groundhog, suddenly changed his expression and couldn't help but approach curiously, asking: "What happened?"

The young security guard, with his face flushed and bruised from her shouting, strained his neck to explain to her: "Miss, this is our oversight, we will help you find it right away, and you might also try to contact us again..."

"How is your leg?" Xu Manyu looked at his labored steps and intended to step forward to assist him, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chengyue seemed to avoid her without intention. Her hand hovered in the air for a long time before she awkwardly lowered it. She had caused trouble for herself and now needed him to help her back; he must certainly find her bothersome.

Jiang Xiaoman explained in a vague and grandiose manner, and then cried on the phone: "I am sorry, Senior Brother. I am unforgivable, my sins are heinous, and I would willingly die a thousand deaths to be remembered forever..."

I also asked Jiang Xiaoman, but she was completely indifferent, saying that she had no intention of going home and was solely focused on her own shopping spree, unwilling to miss out on the great opportunity of discounts

After her head spun 360 degrees, she finally realized that the phone was with her. Upon flipping it open, she saw that it was Shao Rongping.

"Did you really break a bone?" Xu Manyu chuckled awkwardly, truly believing that this was the doing of Huayu, who had been practicing Sanda since childhood! Struggling to switch her phone to the other side, she suppressed her laughter and asked, "Did you really break it? How could you be so ruthless?"

Xu Manyu did not catch his meaning and also mentioned Jiangcheng Yue, stifling a laugh and advising: "Who told you to provoke the number one cold beauty of our newspaper! You are asking for trouble! Oh, by the way, she called me and asked you to stop harassing her. After all, she is my friend, and I do not want to see her being bullied. There are plenty of girls on the street, can't you find someone else to entertain yourself with?"

While carrying large and small bags, Huayu received a phone call

On the table were merely three dishes and a soup: stir-fried minced meat with eggplant, boiled meat slices, celery with lily bulbs, and West Lake beef soup. It appeared quite ordinary, something one could easily prepare at home, yet the taste was a different experience altogether. She couldn't help but nod and smile: "It doesn't look like much, but the flavor is quite good."

I know you must love to eat as well. Jiang Cheng straightened up, looking at the dishes on the table, and unexpectedly smiled for a moment. Although brief and fleeting, many could still see the momentary satisfaction on his face, but in an instant, a hint of sadness flashed through his eyes

Returning to the community's ground floor, Xu Manyu immediately spotted Shao Rongping's silver-gray Mercedes, and her heart tightened. Why hasn't he left yet

Yang Yihao did not know how to respond, so he could only search the city frantically. Many Fufu had been taken away by George's men, but when they called from that side, they refused to reveal her whereabouts, insisting that only Brother Yue go to the dock to deliver the goods. He recalled that the last time Brother Yue had a car accident was because they had learned about Many Fufu, secretly took over a hundred photos to threaten Brother Yue, stating that if he did not hand over that batch of goods, Many Fufu would undoubtedly die. Brother Yue went alone to negotiate with George, racing cars to determine the outcome, and in the end, he injured one leg but managed to preserve the remaining seventy percent.

When Jiang Xiaoman was found, she was crying uncontrollably. Upon seeing Shao Rongping, she rushed over to confide in him. He quickly helped her carry her belongings to the car and drove off with her, leaving a cloud of dust swirling behind the vehicle

Just after hanging up the phone, Jiang Chengyue called again, and as soon as the call connected, he shouted: "Have you found her yet! Where could they possibly hide her! George and his gang can do anything! Damn it, I've already given them thirty percent, how can they still not be satisfied!"

Jiang Cheng gazed at her panicked face and calmly asked, "Are you looking for your phone? It was left with your boyfriend, and he is still searching for you"

Jiang Xiaoman stopped in her tracks, suddenly turning her head to glare at him: "What do you want from me? Are you looking for my sister?"

That restaurant is truly nothing out of the ordinary; the dishes are average, the environment is average, and the service is also average. Many patrons do not understand why they come here to dine. It is usually not the Imperial View Nightclub, nor is it the Golden Radiance Hotel. What is this place supposed to signify, that his taste is unique?

Hey! Sister Xu! What do you mean by that! Am I that kind of person!" After saying this, he felt it lacked persuasiveness, so he could only awkwardly smile and say, "If that were the case, it was in the past. I promise, Sister Xu, I really want to win over Hua Yu! It makes me so angry! How can a woman dare to treat me like this!"

Go! Of course, let's go!" Jiang Xiaoman immediately abandoned her gossipy nature and pulled Xu Mofu straight out of the mall

Well, next time you should be more careful and not go out alone, otherwise your mother will worry. Xu Fufu stood up and patted the little boy's head, advising him. The lady who had just arrived also smiled and thanked him repeatedly, then hurriedly took the little boy and walked out.

Her relationship with her is merely average, just a working relationship, a superficial acquaintance at best. Therefore, when Xu Fufu struggled to take out his phone and saw Hua Yu's name, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. As soon as the call connected, he heard Hua Yu let out a long sigh of helplessness: "Duofu, could you talk to that Mr. Yang Yihao? Could you please ask him to stop harassing me? Otherwise, I really might have to call the police!"

Shao Rongping watched him warily, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes, yet he did not deny it; instead, he retorted, "You are a friend of Duofu? I have never heard of that."

In fact, Yang Yihao truly harbors some resentment towards Xu Mofu. Clearly, he had no ties with Brother Yue, yet he has already become someone else's leverage. Brother Yue's leg was injured for nothing! After lying in the hospital for so many days, how many times did she visit? The only time was when he dragged her there. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt, but he had no choice but to continue focusing on searching for Brother Yue. He had no idea how many calls he had made, and it was only after countless attempts that he finally received a call from Jiang Chengyue. His voice was filled with exhaustion: "Old Seven, stop looking. I've seen the person." The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt, but he had no choice but to continue focusing on searching for Brother Yue. He had no idea how many calls he had made, and it was only after countless attempts that he finally received a call from Jiang Chengyue. His voice was filled with exhaustion: "Old Seven, stop looking. I've seen the person."

She is like a little sunflower, always full of vitality, always smiling, her eyes curved like crescent moons. Although that smiling face does not yet belong to her, he firmly believes that it is just a matter of time, and he will wait until she is willing. But how could there ever be a day when he cannot find her

Jiang Chengyue looked at her with great satisfaction as she enjoyed her meal, while he himself hadn't even touched his chopsticks, merely sipping tea continuously. Xu Manyu had just swallowed a piece of meat and accidentally choked on it, feeling a burning sensation in his throat, and he hurriedly reached for a cup to drink water. Jiang Chengyue promptly handed it over: "Take your time, no one is competing with you."

"Have dinner with me, and then I will take you home." Jiang Cheng did not even glance at her, abruptly turning the steering wheel and then turning into an alley.

Jiang Cheng watched coldly as George's figure disappeared, and after standing for a long time, his legs began to ache faintly. Leaning to one side, he quickly supported himself against the wall of a nearby shop. When he saw that Fu Anran was safe and sound, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart at that moment. Despite a thousand worries and ten thousand concerns, he never expected that she was happily eating McDonald's with the children! However, when he learned that she was sitting there completely unharmed, smiling and chatting with others, he let out a huge sigh of relief. The tension that had built up for so long immediately eased, and as the pain in his legs gradually subsided, he limped into that McDonald's.

Xu Duo was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to react and pour himself some water. He gulped down a few mouthfuls, quickly put down his chopsticks, and awkwardly smiled, saying: "Aren't you hungry? Why am I the only one eating? I was already full..."

Steeling himself, he got out of the car and walked over, and from a distance, he saw Shao Rongping leaning against the car door

Many Fu did not know what to say, her whole body stiffened. Just when she felt confused, Jiang Chengyue happened to walk over, extending his hand towards Shao Rongping, and smiled meaningfully: "You are Duofu's boyfriend?"

I? I was waiting with a little boy for his mother! When I went to the restroom, I saw him crying at the door, saying that his mother was missing. I asked him where his mother was, and he said she went to the store to use the restroom but hadn't seen her come out. Then I took him around to look for her but couldn't find her. He said he knew where his mother was, so he led me outside. Suddenly, it seemed like she remembered something, and she jumped up with a startled cry, digging into her pocket, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find her phone.

Suddenly, it seemed like she remembered something, and she jumped up with a startled cry, digging into her pocket, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find her phone.

"I? I am her boyfriend. Where on earth is she?" Shao Rongping's tone rose, and Jiang Xiaoman couldn't help but hold her breath

Hmm? Xu Manyufu, who was just about to make a phone call, was taken aback, with many small question marks appearing on his forehead

The security guard standing nearby instinctively took a step back

Jiang Xiaoman sat uneasily to the side, not daring to breathe as she watched his expression. Shao Rongping had always been gentle and humble; she had never seen him like this before. Moreover, Xu Manyu had gone missing while with her, which inevitably made her feel a bit guilty. She took a deep breath and cautiously spoke: "I will go to the store to inquire, you, please wait a moment."

Many Fosse's good phones were focused on Jiang Xiaoman, who answered off-topic: "I will treat you to spicy shrimp, are you going or not?"

Yang Yihao was originally hiding in Jiang Chengyue's hospital room, where two injured individuals were sorrowfully sharing their feelings, when he received a call from Xu Fufu. He looked at his own bandaged hand, then at Jiang Chengyue's leg in a cast, and finally, overwhelmed by grief, he cried out: "Sister Xu! How is it that you little reporters are so capable? In just a few moments, you have taken us down! Sister Xu, could you show us some mercy?"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoman dragged him into the store. The screen on the computer indeed showed many blessings; when she entered the restroom, she was clearly alone, but when she came out, there were two of them. Following her was a little boy, and then she left the store with the boy.

What kind of meddling is this? Curiosity is a dangerous thing; it can truly lead to one's downfall

Shaorongping, who was standing nearby, clearly had an unfriendly expression. Xuanyufu hurriedly stepped forward to grab Jiangxiaoman, murmuring softly, "Don't embarrass yourself, he is a gangster"

The car stopped at a rather remote small restaurant. Xu Neng shook his head and looked around; this place was completely desolate, not even a bird would defecate here, nor would a chicken lay eggs!

The little security guard's face turned even redder, and he stammered as he spoke: "Well, should we call the police?"

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yihao fell silent for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "You, hello, we are also looking for Sister Xu. She, um, she mentioned last time that she wanted to interview us, and just now, I happened to have some time! Isn't she at the newspaper? Then let's get in touch next time." Yang Yihao glanced at his watch, breaking into a cold sweat, but still managed to remain calm as he responded to Shao Rong in a nonchalant manner. Then let's get in touch next time. Yang Yihao glanced at his watch, breaking into a cold sweat, but still managed to remain calm as he responded to Shao Rong in a nonchalant manner.

However, Shao Rongping refused to let go; his breathing was rapid, and his breath brushed against the top of her head, causing her scalp to itch intensely. Xu Dofu wanted to escape but was helpless as his arms were restrained, leaving him unable to move at all. Xu Dofu struggled to lift his face, about to speak, but suddenly his face lowered, and he kissed her fiercely.

Hua Yu over there could not see the expression clearly, but the anger in her voice was still particularly evident: "He touched me inappropriately! I just twisted his wrist, that's all. I did it for your sake; otherwise, I would have torn him apart!"

The ground was littered with cigarette butts, and he was anxiously extinguishing the one he had just thrown down. Just as he was about to light another, he was blinded by the glaring headlights of a car. He retracted his lighter and squinted to see, as many figures of fortune stood dazed in front of him

They traveled in silence all the way, when suddenly Jiang Cheng took out his phone and handed it to her: "Make a call back to explain, and then, I am hungry"

She would no longer carefully chew over the word "again" that came from his mouth

Wow! The underworld is the coolest and most explosive.

Hua Yu fell silent for a moment before responding without any emotion: "He deliberately touched my hand while pretending to help me carry something!"

She could only sit in the lobby and wait. After waiting for half an hour, she finally realized that something was wrong. She asked the waiter and the security guard, but unfortunately, many people did not notice her at all. As she watched the sky outside gradually darken, she became truly anxious and shouted at the much shorter security guard in front of her: "Do you have eyes or not? A living person has disappeared in your store, and you don't know anything about it! How can you be a security guard like this!"

The result was delayed for more than half an hour. Jiang Xiaoman was engrossed in playing mobile games and did not notice the time. It was only when she noticed the people at the adjacent dining table glaring at her in frustration that she felt embarrassed, tidied up her things, and went to the restroom to find Xu Mofu

When anything happens to you, no matter how small, if someone is worried about you, you will not be so afraid

Shao Rongping hung up the phone and rushed out of Leituo

Xu Manyu has always been single-minded. Ever since she watched "The Jiangcheng Yue", she believed that the relationship between the two had improved, and the dark clouds that had been hovering in her heart for many days suddenly dissipated, shining brightly with just a little sunlight. Now, as the year-end approaches, she is dragging Jiang Xiaoman to go on a crazy shopping spree.

With a soft "pfft," Xu Duofu couldn't help but let out a laugh. Jiang Xiaoman, who was beside her, looked at her with evident disdain. Xu Duofu smiled awkwardly and then returned to the phone, resolutely stating, "Don't worry, I will speak up, but it may not necessarily be effective!"

Yes, indeed, we reviewed the surveillance footage, and the young lady you described...

Many blessings were buried in his embrace, and she could clearly hear the choked sobs in his voice. She raised her head to explain, but he pressed her back down. She struggled to breathe, wanting to fight back, especially with Jiang Chengyue behind her, her heart became a tangled mess.

Driving back to the building where the spicy shrimp restaurant is located, the sky had completely darkened. He turned off the headlights, and his entire face was shrouded in darkness, with only the faint glow of the cigarette tip proving his existence. In fact, he had not smoked for a long time. When he first entered university, the boys liked to pretend to be mature, buying cigarettes and smoking them one by one, nearly choking on the smoke until tears streamed down their faces. Later, he met Xu Fufu, who always lectured him seriously and sternly. Sometimes, she even personally bought various flavored lollipops to give to him. In fact, he had not smoked for a long time.

Later, he met Xu Fufu, who always lectured him seriously and sternly. Sometimes, she even personally bought various flavored lollipops to give to him.

After hanging up her call, Xu Dofu joyfully dialed Yang Yihao's number: "This is Xu Dofu, um, is your wrist alright?"

Xu Fu almost thought he had seen it wrong

Shao Rongping's heart seemed to start beating again; he could clearly feel his blood beginning to boil. He threw away the cigarette box and quickly approached, tightly embracing Xu Manyufu in his arms, his voice hoarse: "You have finally returned, it is good that you are back"

Xu Fu had long known that he could not persuade Yang Yihao, but it was enough for him to have expressed his intentions. Hua Yu would no longer have a reason to remove her hand. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and held his breath, quietly asking: "Yue Ge, how is it going?"

When they returned to the car, Shao Rongping was on the phone. Jiang Xiaoman quietly took a seat in the passenger seat, waiting for him to finish his call

Jiang Xiaoman immediately perked up her ears

Xu Duo Fu could only feel the crackling sparks in the air, and she did not dare to explain, merely lowering her head to stare at her toes, until she heard Jiang Xiao Man's earth-shattering voice echoing from the hallway: "Ah Fu, you have finally returned, leaving no trace behind!"

Ah, you finally asked about Brother Yue! You have no idea, he is so consumed by thoughts of her that he forgets to eat or drink every day, growing more haggard by the day—" A loud wail came from the other end of the phone. Xu Fufu, feeling confused, glanced at the phone and then brought it back to his ear, hearing Yang Yihao shouting, "Brother Yue, why are you hitting me!"

So, she just left like that? Jiang Xiaoman couldn't catch her breath and slammed the table with a "bang": "That little brat, just wait until she comes back, I'll show her what for!"
