When Wen Zichuan was at his lowest, he met Cheng Sizhou, who was naturally cheerful, gentle, and knowledgeable. His heart stirred, and the way Cheng Sizhou looked at him was not entirely innocent e...
The person who had the missing person notice and the one who each held half of the jade pendant appeared...
After Lin Hanzhen said this, the scope that had already been narrowed immediately expanded again.
Not to mention that there were dozens or even hundreds of people in the archaeological research institute back then, even these people might not have stayed in their original units. Some might have been promoted, some might have been transferred, or even some might have looked through the information and, interested in it, told others about it.
Wen Zichuan and Pinot were in distress. This was a situation they had never imagined.
But no matter what, they didn't know any of the people in the Archaeological Institute, and more than 20 years had passed, and people had moved on and things had changed. Except for the police, no one could check those experts and professors one by one.
"To identify the true culprit, we definitely need evidence," Lin Hanzhen deliberately reminded them. "Then why not think about it from another angle? The Beiling villagers have been guarding the tomb for generations. Has no one ever wondered where Wu Heng and the others were when the tomb was robbed? Did they ever see the true culprit?"
"Zhou... Cheng Sizhou said that when the second archaeological team carried out a rescue excavation of the ancient tomb, Beiling Village was already deserted. They speculated that the tomb-guarding clan should have moved away." Wen Zichuan still felt a little uncomfortable when he occasionally mentioned that name.
"Impossible," Lin Hanzhen said firmly. "Even if Wu Heng came to her senses and led her people on a migration, she'd only take the young people with her. The old ones wouldn't leave. I've seen the cemeteries they've planned for themselves. They've even marked each person's burial location according to age. Even after death, they'll return to their roots."
"I also heard that some tomb-keeping tribes in the country are extremely loyal to the tombs they guard, and this loyalty has been passed down from generation to generation and will not stop for thousands of years," said Pinot.
"Zhou Zhou, are you wearing that jade pendant?" Lin Hanzhen asked.
"Yes." Pinot took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to her.
"This is a token of trust between Wu Heng and me. She said that as soon as she sees this, she will come to see me."
For Lin Hanzhen, the jade pendant was a token of her love, but it was also the reason why she felt most sorry for Wu Heng.
Wu Heng regarded her as a sister and was worried that she would give herself to Wen Duo and put her trust in the wrong person, so she gave her this jade pendant before leaving.
The living conditions in Beiling Village were indeed primitive, but if one day she really had nowhere to go, Wu Heng would accept her and leave her a way out.
Facts have proved that Wu Heng's prediction was correct. Even though Lin Hanzhen became pregnant and gave birth to a son and a daughter, Wen Duo still went abroad without caring about anything.
At that time, she had neither the ability nor the face to return to Dragon Ridge Mountain, so she broke the jade pendant in half and gave it to her two children. If the children had the chance to see Wu Heng again, they would call her Auntie and hope that she would no longer blame her for her selfishness and greed.
"We're going to find her through the jade pendant?" Pinault suddenly had an idea and looked at Wen Zichuan. "Brother, you already have over five million followers. If you post a photo of the jade pendant online, will Wu Heng see it?"
In the past, if you wanted to find someone, you would either place an ad in the newspaper or go to the TV station, but now it’s different. Some big-name stars have tens of millions of fans, and an occasional update from them can stay on the hot search list for three days and three nights.
Wen Zichuan thought for a moment and said, "I just said that I found the jade pendant and asked the owner to come and claim it?"
Pinault shook her head. Huang Yun was right. Her brother hadn't realized he was a big star. "No, that wouldn't work. Your backstage support would be in jeopardy. You'd have to conduct a special investigation to weed out those irrelevant people who were just looking for attention and publicity."
"Actually, as long as the jade pendant is seen, it's fine, right? Then just send the photo and add a sentence at most..." Wen Zichuan said to Lin Hanzhen, "Mom, do you have anything you want to say to her?"
Lin Hanzhen sighed: "Just quote the saying 'If you don't think about it, you will never forget it'. She will understand."
Wen Zichuan's social media account was handed over to the company when he signed the contract, and is managed jointly by him and the company. Anything he wants to post needs to be reviewed by the team before it can be sent out.
He doesn't like to show his face too much and is afraid of trouble, so most of the time, the team regularly arranges push notifications for new drama trailers or variety show highlights to ensure the activity of the account.
As planned, as soon as he returned to the company, he asked Xie Bing to publish this update.
Xie Bing's freshly ironed hair almost exploded when she heard this. "What do you mean by 'I can't forget you even if I don't think about you'? Are you crazy? How is posting this any different from announcing a relationship?!"
Wen Zichuan was calm and composed: "It's not an official announcement of love, it's a missing person notice."
Xie Bing pouted up to the sky: "No, I don't agree."
Wen Zichuan was confident: "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Wei."
Wei Jing knew it wasn't an official announcement of their relationship. He stared at the photo for a long moment, "Is it real?"
Wen Zichuan nodded: "The texture is ancient and there are bite marks everywhere. It is genuine unearthed jade."
Wei Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Tsk, it's great to have some connections inside. You can always get some real stuff. Okay, use your account to send it yourself, but let me see the jade."
"How long?"
"About three to five days."
Wen Zichuan wasn't afraid that he would "take it for himself." Boss Wei was a wealthy family, so he might not be interested in the jade. However, this family heirloom was of special significance, and he didn't want it to remain with an unrelated person. "It's been a while, unless you agree to one more condition."
"What conditions?"
"Let all the artists in the company help to forward this."
"……OK."
Wen Zichuan felt that his five million fans were still not enough. After all, Xingyu Feiyu was best at generating traffic, and he didn't even have any representative works, yet he created the illusion that he was extremely popular.
I don't know whether Mr. Wei or Xie Bing made some arrangements, or whether the artists under his company have particularly high emotional intelligence. Not only did they cooperate very well and forwarded his post one by one, they also commented and wished him and Xiaoming's dual male lead drama a big hit, and looked forward to his high-profile career.
The result was that those who didn't know him questioned whether Xingyu Feiyu had changed its prince. Those who knew him were all screaming that this was some kind of group pet treatment.
Officially announced a relationship? That's impossible. Who would announce a relationship with more than a dozen celebrities at the same time?
Things have come to this point, and all we can say is that Wen Zichuan will use the company's influence to the maximum extent to try to find her. If there is no news in a month or two, he will think of other ways after he finishes recording the variety show.
On the other hand, although Lin Hanzhen recognized her daughter, she did not choose to stay in Dengyuan.
Before leaving, she told Wen Zichuan to take good care of his sister and himself, and to tell her if he had any new clues or plans, and not to think about fighting alone.
After Wen Zichuan saw her off, he felt extremely emotional.
Their time together was so short that he didn't even remember to tell his mother what happened between him and Cheng Sizhou. However, his mother seemed to be able to read his mind and told him not to be "alone".
If no one came to ask him, he could continue to pretend nothing happened, but when his mother suddenly said something to comfort him, he immediately felt very aggrieved.
"Xu Jiaxuan, there is a radio drama that is short of people, and the director asked me to recommend someone. Would you like to try?" Wen Zichuan opened the chat box and sent a message quickly.
"Wow! Such a good thing, why did you think of me?" Xu Jiaxuan was so happy that he danced with joy. Before he even stepped into the university, he could cooperate with all kinds of great people. Wouldn't his classmates be envious of him?
"I'll give you twenty minutes to think about it. Tell me whether you're coming or not."
"Come on, come on, where are you? I'll come to you right away!"
Twenty minutes later, Xu Jiaxuan appeared downstairs of Xingyu Feiyu and said he wanted to treat everyone to a meal at McDonald's.
Wen Zichuan didn't like to eat these, so he ordered a glass of water. The rest of the time, he just watched Xu Jiaxuan eat happily.
"I've made an agreement with the director that you have to come to the studio for an audition first. Only if you pass can I give you the role. Don't mess around." This little brat has always been unreliable in doing things, so he had to give him a few more instructions.
"I know, I know. Hey, you obviously know so many great people, why did you come to me?" Xu Jiaxuan puffed out his cheeks and chewed. "I know, you still need me. You need me to gather information for you."
Wen Zichuan ignored him and thought to himself that precocious children were really scary.
"Okay, okay. I was thinking of giving you a surprise in a few days, but you gave me the opportunity to audition, and I can't take advantage of you for nothing." Xu Jiaxuan glanced at him with a cunning look on his face.
Wen Zichuan was playing with his mobile phone when he was suddenly startled by a series of message alerts.
He opened the chat box and saw it was filled with photos of Cheng Sizhou from all angles. The worst thing was that there were also some photos of him exercising on fitness equipment with his upper body naked.
He is an artist and he knows best that taking secret photos is an invasion of other people's privacy.
Xu Jiaxuan took the photos of Cheng Sizhou secretly to please him, so half of the fault lies with him.
As an elder, he should have guided Xu Jiaxuan. It was wrong to do so, but he was selfish and did not give a strict ban because he was afraid that he would never get any news about that person again.
"Did he go to the gym?" Wen Zichuan asked.
"He's moved out, but he didn't go back to his parents' house. He rented a house near the Beijing International Lighting Expo," Xu Jiaxuan licked the ketchup on his fries. "Actually, I didn't mean to follow him. I just went to the mall to play and happened to run into him working out. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Yangliuan is going to be demolished, but it seems that it has no impact on Cheng Sizhou's life. He just rents a house in a new place and goes to work and live his life as usual.
Wen Zichuan guessed that Cheng Sizhou went to the gym because of his illness. It is said that more exercise can secrete endorphins, which is good for treating depression.
Seeing that he was distracted, Xu Jiaxuan picked up his drink and clinked glasses with him: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I've also sent you the address of my new home and the gym."
"This is the last time. Don't do this again." Wen Zichuan said in a serious tone.
"No problem. But you have to seize the opportunity. If he really likes someone else and is not just pretending like He Mengpian, then no matter how much I watch him, it will be useless." Xu Jiaxuan wiped his hands with a tissue and said it lightly.
It's not comfortable to hear that you like someone else.
Wen Zichuan has been brooding over the fact that Cheng Sizhou had an ex for a long time. Even after they broke up, he couldn't accept that Brother Zhou liked someone else.
The afternoon is the hottest time of the day. If you walk a few laps under the sun, you will get a layer of sunburned.
Wen Zichuan took Xu Jiaxuan to the studio for a rehearsal and assigned them roles. He then gave him a bunch of instructions before going about his own business.
After that update was posted, as Pinault said, many people asked privately and made many random guesses. He didn't want to explain, so he put them aside for the time being.
Cheng Sizhou, who had just finished exercising, was sweating profusely. When he was reaching for a towel, a message suddenly popped up on his phone.
That was his habit when he was a big fan of Teacher Wen. Whenever the main character posted something, there would be a special reminder.
He kept the jade pendant in the photo close to him for more than half a year. At that time, he felt that the shape of the jade pendant was a bit strange. It turned out that it had another half.
Did the person who shared half of the jade pendant with Zichuan appear? He must be someone very important, right? Did he also have a fiancée who was betrothed to him since childhood?
Cheng Sizhou covered his face with a towel and wiped it hard, but he couldn't stop his thoughts from running wild.
In fact, he had dreamed of Zichuan's wedding many times. The scene was decorated extremely elegantly and romantically, but the bride never showed up.
The people in the dream were waiting, from dawn to dusk, and the other person in the body was shouting: Go, take him away! Take him away, he is yours!
But his feet felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't take that step. Finally, the lights went out and people left. Zichuan's lonely and desperate eyes woke him up from his dreams countless times.
