Chapter 331 Chinese Valentine's Day (2)

"Everyone says you're the pride of this village, capable and intelligent. But after all this time, how come you're still such a loser?"

The person who spoke was wearing red, and from the back, it looked like a woman. Seeing Tian Xin faint on the ground, she laughed contemptuously, then squatted down and looked down at her.

Tian Xin lay on the ground, completely unconscious. Before she hung up the phone she had just called, she heard a burst of rapid shouting, accompanied by the sound of a car speeding past.

"You are so capable that you even know to ask for help!" The woman hung up the phone with a sneer, took the phone from Tian Xin's hand, and threw it into the field beside her.

Then, her face began to turn vicious and she smiled sinisterly, and she kept slapping Tian Xin's face with her hands.

"After all these years, do you know how long I have waited for this day? Ah!"

She slapped Tian Xin hard in the face: "Why do you have so much? We all come from the same background and work just as hard, so why do you think you're superior to others? Do you know that every time I'm about to succeed, you run out and take everything away from me?"

The woman became more and more angry as she spoke, and her hands became more and more fierce. After a while, as if she felt the pain on her face, Tian Xin moved unconsciously, but she still did not wake up.

"What, you feel it?" The woman sneered and helped her up, half dragging her in the direction she had just come from. This direction was exactly the direction back to the village committee.

"If you still have any conscience, today, let's settle the debt you owe me. I will repay you clearly for all the suffering I have endured over the years, one by one! Otherwise--"

She turned her head and glanced at Tian Xin, who was supported by her with her head tilted, and said in a cold tone: "Just go to hell!"

The cell phone that was thrown into the field kept ringing.

But as the two walked further and further away, the phone rang several times before it died down! Then, their backs disappeared at the intersection of the main road and the village committee.

At this moment, a red car suddenly rushed up the road. Due to the high speed, the people in the car did not hear the phone ringing in the field, and continued to drive while calling the number on the car.

Seeing that no one answered the phone, the car drove directly to the entrance of the village committee.

"Where's Tian Xin? Why didn't you answer the phone?"

As soon as we got off the car, Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan were waiting at the door, not knowing who they were waiting for.

Hearing someone talking, Zhang Ying shone her flashlight at the person: "Oh, it's Zhang Shuai! Why are you here?"

"I just got a call from Tian Xin, but she didn't say anything. The person who answered the phone didn't sound like her. I was a little worried, so I came to check! Where is she?"

Zhang Shuai said this and stepped over the threshold and walked in.

The room was completely dark, and nothing could be seen clearly. Several shopkeepers sat in the yard, anxious and worried.

"She just went out. Didn't she tell you?" Zhang Ying followed Zhang Shuai, her words stammering in her anxiety. "We were planning on having a great day, but for some reason the power went out! She went to check the meter. Didn't you run into her when you came here?"

Electric meter box?

Zhang Shuai was stunned and immediately turned around to ask, "When?"

"What when?"

"When did she go out? How long has it been?"

"About ten minutes ago!" Zhang Ying said: "You just came over, didn't you run into her? She should be at the electricity meter box..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shuai had already stepped out of the door, got into the car and left.

It takes no more than 2 minutes to drive from the village committee to the electricity meter box.

He parked his car near the electric meter box, ran over and saw that there was no one there.

It's strange, it's such a small place? Where did it go?

He walked around looking for her, calling her as he went.

The ringing of a cell phone came from the haystack in the field. He ran over and saw that it was Tian Xin's cell phone.

Why are you throwing your phone away for no reason?

He put his phone in his pocket, mumbled something, and started looking again.

"Everyone says you're the pride of this village, capable and intelligent. But after all this time, how come you're still such a loser?"

“…”

Zhang Shuai suddenly felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.

Who said this on the phone just now?

Why didn’t Tian Xin answer?

The phone was thrown away, so where is she?

Could it be...

Damn, this is not good!

He was startled, then realized what was happening and immediately turned back to the village committee.

Zhang Ying was still at the door. When she saw him come back, she hurried over to ask him, "Have you seen Xinxin? I can't get through to the power bureau. How about we let everyone..."

"Sister, let me ask you something!" Zhang Shuai interrupted her, his face visibly tense, his hands shaking uncontrollably. "Besides saying she was going to check the meter, did Tian Xin mention anyone else she was looking for?"

"No, she just told us to call the power company and she'd go check it out first!" Zhang Ying looked behind him and was also surprised: "Why, didn't you find her when you went there just now?"

"No! She's not there!" Zhang Shuai shook his head, then took out the phone he had just picked up from his pocket and asked: "Is this her phone?"

"Yes, yes, it's her phone!" Li Xiaoyan rushed in, "How did it get into your hands? Where's Xinxin?"

"I don't know," Zhang Shuai said, turning back to the car. Seeing him leaving again, Zhang Ying and Li Xiaoyan asked, "Where are you going? Xinxin isn't here. Go find her quickly. It's dark out, and it's late. Don't let anything happen to her."

"I told you to follow her, but you wouldn't let me," Li Xiaoyan muttered to Zhang Ying, but her eyes turned to Zhang Shuai, who had stopped by the car door, and asked, "How about we go with you to look for her?"

Zhang Shuai had already walked to the car door, but suddenly stopped.

But he ignored what the two men said.

Instead, it became quiet.

"Is everyone okay now? Is anyone causing trouble in the group?" He turned and asked Zhang Ying.

"Not yet, we just told everyone. But the power company's phone keeps getting through, and we're worried the power won't come back. Everyone's worried!"

"Then let me check the electricity meter. You just stay here and don't go anywhere. Keep her phone for her. If she comes back later, call me immediately!" said Zhang Shuai.

After explaining all this, he turned around and went to the electricity meter box!

It turned out that the main switch was turned off!

No wonder the whole village lost power.

He tried to push the switch up with his hands.

The lights in the surrounding houses suddenly lit up. There seemed to be screams coming from several houses nearby.

Okay, the electricity is coming!

If the person on the phone just now was a villager, then the boss should be walking back now!

Thinking this, he prepared to turn around and go back.

I didn't run into the boss on the way up, so she shouldn't have gone too far! Since she's heading in this direction, she's nearby.

If we search along these few households, we should be able to find...

…

…

What's this?

He was analyzing where to start looking for someone, and after taking two steps, his eyes suddenly flashed and he saw something on the ground.

Shiny and sparkling!

What?

He picked it up curiously and took a look, then was immediately horrified!

That's a necklace!

It was the necklace that Lin Zhou gave Tian Xin, which she always wore around her neck and never took off!
