Chapter 1070: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (155)
It was night.
It was 2:30 PM.
Xu Chengfeng suddenly received a call from Xu Yuan. He looked at the time and had a feeling that Xu Yuan, who was also in the Xu family, would suddenly call at this time. Something must have happened, so he immediately sat up.
“Chengfeng, is Zuo Yue with you?”The moment the call connected, Xu Yuan’s voice came through.
Xu Chengfeng’s eyebrows twitched.” It’s not with me. What happened?””
When Xu Yuan heard this, her anxious heart immediately relaxed, but it rose again.”That’s strange. Last night when I went to Zuo Yue’s room, I said a few words before she suddenly ran to look for you, saying that she left something at your place. After that, I went to the front hall. After I was done, it was already very late, so I didn’t go to see her again. Just now, I received a call from the company’s night shift team and couldn’t sleep for the time being. I came out for a walk. When I passed by Zuo Yue’s room, I was worried about her leg injury. In the end, when I pushed open her door, I found that she wasn’t in the room.”
Xu Chengfeng subconsciously got out of bed, picked up a jacket, and walked out while answering the phone.””What do you mean she’s not in the room? It’s 2:30 in the morning now. The Xu family’s door is tightly guarded. If she goes out at night, it’s impossible for you not to know. Have you checked the bathroom?”
“I’ve checked. The bathroom and washroom in her room are fine. If she got up to go to the washroom, she wouldn’t have run out. However, there’s no trace of her anywhere. I thought it was strange. I thought that after she went to look for you last night… He never came back… That’s why I called to ask you.” Xu Yuan’s voice was a little hesitant, but she still said it in the end.
“She’s not with me. She went back not long after she came to my place last night.”As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he had already walked out. It was a cold winter night. Although there were a few street lamps in the Xu family’s residence, they were not lit very brightly because it was already late at night. In order not to disturb people’s sleep, it looked quiet and dark in the distance.
“Then where would she go at this hour?” Xu Yuan’s voice was already questioning,”” Chengfeng, there’s something that I haven’t had the chance to tell you. It’s also because there’s too much going on in the Xu family recently that I didn’t want to mention it. However, after Zuo Yue went to Boston for a few months, I felt that she seemed to have changed a lot after she came back. She used to tell me everything that was on her mind, but now she refuses to say anything. Moreover, she would sit in one place all day without moving, staring into space. I feel that she seems to be hiding a lot of things in her heart now. She doesn’t want to say it out, so she’s just holding it in. What happened to her in Boston? Do you know?”
Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. His eyes were still searching the Xu family’s courtyard quickly. He said indifferently,”I don’t know. Let’s find someone first.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“I remember that Zuo Yue only wore a set of pajamas when she went out. She probably didn’t come back after that. She wore so little. Where could she have gone in the middle of the night?”
Xu Chengfeng suddenly felt a little irritated.
For the first time in many years, he knew what it meant to be out of control. He couldn’t control everything according to the outcome he wanted. That feeling of being out of control made him very irritable.
“Let’s find someone first!” He didn’t say anything else and went straight to Zuo Yue’s place after hanging up.
Xu Yuan had already walked out. When she saw him, she saw that Xu Chengfeng was also very anxious. From this, she believed that Zuo Yue did not stay at his place for too long that night and was indeed not in his room at this moment.
Xu Chengfeng didn’t give up. He looked around Zuo Yue’s room before turning around to look for her again.
In the snow and ice world, the time of the night was so quiet that it could not disturb the other people and guests in the Xu family. Xu Yuan was also worried until now. She kept calling Zuo Yue, but no one answered. At least this proved that Zuo Yue did not turn off her phone.
However, after calling for so long, he did not hear any mobile phone activity around him. It was obvious that Zuo Yue was not nearby.
Xu Chengfeng also took out his phone and turned on the light function of his phone to search everywhere in the courtyard. The Xu residence was not big nor small. He really wanted to find every room and every place that could be hidden. He would not be able to find them all even if it was dawn.
Xu Chengfeng was also calling Zuo Yue. However, if it was not the front line, no one would pick up. He cursed under his breath and continued to look for her in all the places that she might have gone. In the end, he simply turned on the GPS tracker that was already set on Zuo Yue’s phone. The tracker should not be turned on unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it would affect the patrol signal of the local police and be targeted by the police. However, if he did not find her quickly in such a cold night, something else would happen.
Seeing that the red dot was nearby, which was within the Xu family’s territory, Xu Chengfeng was more or less relieved when he confirmed that she had not been infiltrated by anyone with ill intentions and was still safe and sound within the Xu family’s territory. However, at the same time, his brows furrowed as he looked at the place indicated by the red dot.
He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the Xu family’s backyard. Then, he turned around and walked over quickly.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the signal location displayed on the phone, Xu Chengfeng looked up at a tall Roman statue in the backyard. He knew that there was a flower garden behind the statue, but because it was winter, the flower garden was only a very remote open space.
Xu Chengfeng wondered why she was there. As soon as he got closer, he saw several snowmen of different sizes piled up in the empty space behind the Roman statue. He was about to walk over when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Xu Yuan had also found her way here. When she saw the snowmen from afar, she was shocked and quickly walked over.”How can this be!”
Xu Chengfeng glanced at her. Xu Yuan had already walked over and walked quickly behind the Roman statue. As expected, she saw Zuo Yue sitting behind the Roman statue with her knees curled up and her legs hugged. Xu Yuan hurriedly bent down and hugged the frozen Zuo Yue.”Oh my god…”
Xu Chengfeng walked around the Roman statue. Because Xu Yuan was there, he did not show his emotions. However, when he saw Zuo Yue, whose face had turned blue from the cold and was leaning in Xu Yuan’s arms, he could not help but go forward and carry her away.
“Don’t, don’t touch her!” When he reached out, Xu Yuan suddenly hugged Zuo Yue tightly in her arms and blocked Xu Chengfeng’s hand. Then, she turned to look at the snowmen beside her and said with a bitter look in her eyes,””Other than the Zuo family, no one else knows that Zuo Yue was stimulated when she was young…She would only do this when she was in extreme despair…Don’t touch her. Let me do it. I’ll bring her back to her room. Chengfeng, call a doctor over. Don’t let anyone know.”
When Xu Chengfeng heard the phrase ” Zuo Yue was stimulated when she was young “, his eyes were shocked.
