"I'm a little uncomfortable. Ask them not to disturb me."
"Okay. I'll try to come back as early as possible to accompany you."
The housekeeper who was wiping the stairs heard the exchange upstairs. There was a sound, and immediately, the male host Ding He walked down.
"Madam has a cold. She has already taken medicine. Don't disturb her without instructions."
"Okay, sir."
Ding He went downstairs. , go out, get in the car, and leave home as if nothing happened.
“Ding ding bell…”
On the co-pilot, a cell phone rang.
The screen shows Fang Jun.
Ding He ignored it and drove for nearly two hours to a garbage treatment plant.
Ignoring the pungent stench, he stopped the car, walked out, and came to the back of the car.
Inductive trunk opens automatically.
There were two black plastic bags quietly placed inside. The plastic bags were airtight and you couldn't see what was inside.
Ding He lifted up the two plastic bags, and then he could see that one of the plastic bags seemed to contain some kind of sphere, and the other was a long strip with more than one object, making strange collision sounds. .
Downstairs in the trunk, Ding He looked around, then walked to a garbage pit, raised his hand, and threw down the two plastic bags one after another.
Also.
That cell phone.
After standing by the garbage pit with an indifferent expression for a while, Ding He turned around and got in the car again, driving the BMW X5 back to Tianhe Law Firm.
“Lawyer Ding.”
“Lawyer Ding.”
"Lawyer Ding."
The subordinates greeted him one after another. At the same time, they were all a little surprised by his "return".
I don’t know what Ding He has been through after disappearing for a few days. His face has lost the friendly smile of the past. Facing the greetings from his subordinates, he just nodded.
“Are you ready?”
He walked to a work station.
The male lawyer who was sorting out the information raised his head, as if he had not slept well, and his brows showed visible fatigue, but he still responded quickly: "Everything is ready."
"Well, inform them that we will set off at four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay Lawyer Ding."
After explaining, Ding He walked towards the office.
“Is the German case really completed?”
A lawyer from the next booth looked over.
The male lawyer who attended Fang Qing's farewell party rubbed his brows and said, "You shouldn't be able to run away. Didn't you listen to Lawyer Ding? I'll fly over today to pick up the case."
"That case The progress is so fast? "
"How did I know? In the early hours of yesterday morning, I was asleep, and Lawyer Ding suddenly called me and told me to leave today. In order to prepare various materials, I stayed up all night. , did you see the dark circles under my eyes?”
Although the other party had already known this, he never knew he would be so anxious.
But that’s the way this business is, the customer is God.
As long as customers have needs, they must satisfy them as quickly as possible.
"Isn't it just that I haven't slept all night? What's the big deal? Think about how enviable it is to travel abroad at public expense. I haven't been to Germany yet."
Colleagues took a picture His shoulders, "Cheer up and wait until you get on the plane. You will have plenty of time to rest."
"Oh, that's all we can do."
The lawyer surnamed Yu sighed, forced himself to cheer up, and continued to make final preparations before going abroad.
Office.
Although I haven’t been here for a few days, the entire law firm is running in an orderly manner.
Ding He looked around slowly, then took out his mobile phone and made an overseas call.
"Dad, is your leg feeling better now? Do you want me to bring you some medicine?"
"No, you can't buy any medicine here, so why don't you bring it from home?" It’s so troublesome to take you all the way.”
“No trouble, I’m planning to come see you anyway.”
“You’re coming to Italy?”
The other person is surprised.
“Yeah.”
"Are you here on a business trip?"
"No, I haven't seen you for more than a year. My son just wants to come and see you two."
"I understand, your mother and I are here, okay "Very well, you don't need to worry about it. You're busy with work, so there's no need to worry about it."
Ding He's tone was calm, but his face was trembling unconsciously.
"Dad, are you...still blaming me."
The other party did not respond and fell silent.
Of course.
For the Fang family, he was a well-deserved phoenix man, so much so that when they got married, his parents didn't even sit at the main table.
Although his family is not rich, at least it is definitely not bad. It is above the social standard. If he does not choose this shortcut, he should not be too bad.
But the human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
Not everyone can stay awake in the face of temptation.
Just because he had been fighting for his son for decades and married Fang Ai, he suffered countless looks from his eyes, and even his parents were implicated.
So far, Fang Ai has never called his parents "parents". On the wedding day, she only called uncle and aunt in a perfunctory manner.
And ever since.
Fang Ai never saw his parents again.
On the third year of his marriage, he used his connections to send his parents abroad to enjoy their old age.
“It’s all in the past, so why are you bringing this up? As long as you live well, it doesn’t matter to your mother and I. Besides, we are now staying in Italy, which is quite comfortable. How many people envy us to be abroad? "
Although I was angry with the boss at the beginning, I still felt sorry for my son.
"Son, your mother and I are getting old. Who knows how many years we can live. At our age, if there are some things that we can't figure out, we can figure them out. As for you, you don't have to have any psychological burden. The road is yours to choose, so just walk on it steadily and don’t think too much.”
Ding He held the phone and said nothing.
"How are you and Fang Ai doing now?"
The old man asked tentatively.
Ding He, whose heart was as solid as stone, moved his lips and said with a smile: "It's pretty good."
"That's good."
The old man was relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled: "You are not young anymore. You have been married for so many years, but you have never thought about when to have children?"
"Dad, I am busy with my career now. ”
“No matter how busy you are with your career, you cannot neglect your family. Children are the strongest bond between a couple.”
"Dad, I know, you want to hold a grandson, right?"
"Haha, don't tell me, sometimes when I go out for a walk, I really like those foreign babies when I see them."
The old man said and paused, "But even if you have children, I'm afraid it won't be your mother and I's turn to take care of you."
man.
Seven feet tall.
The most basic responsibility is to prevent parents from being humiliated.
But what did you do?
No matter how tall, spacious and grand this office is, what's the use?
"Dad, you are still blaming me. If you had been more firm at that time, for example, severing the father-son relationship with me, maybe I would have listened to you."
" I am your father and you are my son, but I have no power to control your life. How can I, as a father, risk my life to stop you?"
< br>"So you would rather be wronged?"
The old man smiled and said, "When you are a parent, you are here to pay off your debts. When you become a father, you will understand."
< br>Ding He also laughed, but the corners of his eyes were moist and red.
But as a barrister, his true feelings were not revealed in his tone.
“Where’s mom?”
He changed the subject.
"She went to dance. Your mother can endure it. She formed a dance team here and led those old Italian ladies to bomb the streets every day."
"Mom is more energetic. . ”
“Who says it’s not the case?”
“Dad, let’s just say this first. I’ll fly to Germany today and I’ll come over after doing some things.”
"Okay, where is Fang Ai? Come with you?"
Ding He's smile remained unchanged, "I went to Germany for work, how can I take her with me."
"Well, then you Get busy.”
"Dad, see you in two days." Ding He put down his phone, raised his head, looked at the ceiling, exhaled slowly, suppressed the surging emotions, then wiped the corners of his eyes, walked behind the desk, sat down, and turned on the computer , did not work, just edited a scheduled email and then saved it.
Immediately, he lowered his head, put his hands on the table, intertwined his fingers, and kept beating.
“Tuk, Tuk, Tuk…”
I don’t know how long it took.
There was a knock on the office door.
Ding He, who had also not slept all night, suddenly raised his head and looked at the office door. After a while, he said: "Come in."
"Lawyer Ding, the time is up, isn't it? Time to go?”
Lawyer Yu came in.
Ding He stood up and said, "Let's go."
Tianhe attaches great importance to this cooperation with Germany, including the founder personally taking action and deploying a team of nearly ten people.
When he came downstairs, Ding He, who was surrounded by people, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked back at the law firm he founded.
Everyone looked at him.
A few seconds later, without saying a word, Ding He withdrew his gaze and got into the commercial vehicle with the door open.
No. 6, Gongyuan.
The sky is getting dark.
"Housekeeper Li, why hasn't Mr. come back yet? He should have got off work by this time, right? Madam hasn't eaten anything for a day."
The housekeeper also felt that something was wrong. Although I have been staying in the room, I will not starve myself.
But she didn’t have the guts to go up.
“I’ll give Mr. a call.”
Immediately, she dialed Ding He's number, but the male owner, who had said he would come back early when he left in the morning, had his phone turned off at this time.
"Housekeeper Li, it's better to go up and ask. If something goes wrong with Madam due to hunger, we can't bear the responsibility."
After thinking over and over again, the housekeeper who couldn't get through the phone could only bear the responsibility. Duty, walked upstairs to the door of the master bedroom, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Madam, are you feeling better?"
No one responded.
She knocked on the door again, "Madam, do you need anything to eat?"
Still nothing happened,
It was dead quiet inside, so quiet that it was terrifying.
With Madam’s temper, if nothing happened, she would have gotten angry a long time ago.
Is he really seriously ill?
The housekeeper felt nervous and did not dare to neglect. She knocked hard on the door again.
"Madam, if you are okay, please reply."
Finding that there was still no movement, the housekeeper no longer hesitated, stretched out her hand to hold the doorknob, and twisted it.
“Click.”
The door did not open.
This was completely beyond the housekeeper's expectations.
She had always cleaned the master bedroom herself, so she knew very well that Madam never had the habit of locking the door.
"Bring the spare key."
She walked quickly to the stairs and shouted downstairs.
The nanny sent the keys.
The housekeeper inserted the keyhole and quickly opened the door.
"Bah."
When the door was opened, an indescribable and strange smell hit his face instantly, and the room was dim.
"Madam?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to turn on the light, walked slowly to the bed, and then froze.
Then, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled away the quilt.
“Crash!”
After pulling back the quilt, the bed was empty. There was really no one!
The housekeeper was stupid.
She clearly heard the conversation between the host and hostess in the morning, and she didn't see anyone coming downstairs all day.
Where did the hostess go?
"Madam!"
There is no bathroom.
There is no cloakroom.
Not only the master bedroom, the housekeeper and the nannies searched the entire mansion, even the utility room.
But still found nothing.
"Did you see Madam coming downstairs today?"
The housekeeper frowned.
“No.”
The nannies said in unison, equally incredulous.
Can a living person evaporate out of thin air?
The housekeeper's heart tightened, and she realized that there might be a big problem, so she tried to call Ding He again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off, please call again later."
The housekeeper no longer hesitated,
"110, I want to report the crime, I My employer disappeared..."
An hour later.
Outside this mansion.
Police lights flashing.
But there was no whistle.
Most of the heads of households who live in Gongyuan No. 6 are very important, so we must pay attention to the impact.
All the nannies were invited out of the mansion and stood outside the courtyard at a loss.
"You mean, you heard Miss Fang's voice in the morning?"
The housekeeper is being interrogated.
Not only was it the police in charge of the area, but a minor disappearance case even alarmed a deputy director above.
The big man looked solemn at the moment, watching the police officers coming in and out, and kept looking down at his watch, as if waiting for something.
Not for a while.
A Hongqi lost its stability and drove over at lightning speed, almost hitting a police car.
Fang Jun opened the door and got out of the car, looking at the scene of the mobilization of troops and the crowd, his face was deep.
"Hu Ju, what's going on now?"
Hu Ju looked grim and hesitated to speak. In the end, he just said, "Follow me."
He led Fang Jun through the cordon and into the mansion.
Inside the mansion.
The police officers were busy, some were taking photos, some were measuring, some were exploring everywhere... Everyone's face was very serious, as if some big case had happened.
Fang Jun glanced over, then stepped upstairs to the door of the master bedroom.
"Hu Bureau."
"Hu Bureau."
"Hu Bureau."
"Stop for a moment."
Hu Ju’s voice was deep.
All the comrades in the bedroom stopped.
"Where is my sister?"
Fang Jun asked.
He made a call today, but no one answered. He didn't think it was strange. He just thought that the other party was in a bad mood during this period. But who knew that he received a call from the police in the evening.
In the bedroom where everything seemed normal, the police comrades had complicated expressions.
Director Hu did not respond and ordered: "Turn off the lights."
"Pa."
The lights in the room were turned off.
"Turn on the ultraviolet light."
In the dark room, a purple beam of light lit up.
The bedroom that was originally the same seemed to have completely changed.
Fang Jun's pupils slowly shrank, his expression frozen. (End of this chapter)
