Chapter 241: He Won’t Fall
Pei Xingzhi held Xiangxiang in his arms and poked his head out from the corridor on the third floor: "Come upstairs, I want to coax Xiangxiang to sleep."
Ye Ci: “Okay!”
He had been to the Xie family many times, and he could find Pei Xingzhi's location with his eyes closed.
He ran up the stairs in two steps at a time and walked to Xiangxiang's room with ease.
"Come." When Pei Xingzhi saw him, the first thing he did was to hand the baby to him. "You coax Xiangxiang to sleep. I'll sit down and rest for a while."
"Oh." Ye Ci put the phone into his pocket, carefully took it from Xiang Xiang, adjusted his posture, and began to coax the baby skillfully.
"Be good Xiangxiang, godfather will coax him to sleep." He patted Xiangxiang's butt and waved his hands back and forth.
Xiang Xiang opened her big watery eyes and stared at him blankly, but in less than two minutes her vision became a little blurry.
"What do you want from me?" Pei Xingzhi sat beside Xiangxiang's bed, rubbing his sore brows with his eyes closed.
Ye Ci glanced at him with a somewhat conflicted expression: "It's about the Qin Group slandering the Law of Love for plagiarism. It's not a big deal. I wanted to call you to tell you, but your phone was turned off. I couldn't contact you so I had to drive over here."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi immediately reached into his pockets. After searching for a long time, he remembered that his cell phone was left in the next room.
"...I ran around all night yesterday, and my phone ran out of battery and turned off a long time ago." He sighed and looked up at Ye Ci, "What happened? Did the Qin Group come up with something new?"
Ye Ci: "No. The staff of the studio sorted out the evidence given by Fu Yushu, and wanted to ask you when you will release this evidence."
"When was the original release date?" Pei Xingzhi asked.
He hadn't slept for a whole day and night. Although he didn't want to sleep at all, his brain was too tired to function. He now had no recollection of what had been agreed upon long ago, and every time Ye Ci said something, he would ask "why" in confusion.
"..." Ye Ci was silent for two seconds, and looked at him with a worried look, "Brother Pei, the original release date is today."
Pei Xingzhi: "Then let's post it today. Let the studio staff register an official account and post the evidence directly."
Ye Ci said, "I registered the official account this morning. Since you nodded, I'll ask my employees to pick a time to send out the evidence."
"Okay." Pei Xingzhi kicked off his slippers, raised his legs and lay down on the bed. But he did not sleep. Instead, he touched the ring on his hand and stared at the ceiling above his head in a daze.
Xiang Xiang was very well behaved. Ye Ci had only coaxed him for a few minutes before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Brother Pei." Ye Ci lowered his voice and walked to the bed with Xiang Xiang in his arms, "Xiang Xiang is asleep."
Pei Xingzhi took the child and gently placed him next to him: "Thank you."
"Tsk..." Ye Ci glared at him, "Are we still talking about this?"
Pei Xingzhi curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing.
Ye Ci walked to the sofa at the end of the bed and sat down. Looking at Pei Xingzhi's tired and pale face, he said reluctantly, "Brother Pei, go to sleep for a while. Don't stay up all this time."
"Think about it. I can watch over here, and I can also support the studio. Your sister-in-law hasn't been found yet, so you must not ruin your health."
"I can't collapse." Pei Xingzhi gently touched Xiangxiang's face, with a hint of tenderness hidden in his bloodshot eyes.
"Ayuan is a very strong person. She was kidnapped by Qin Wushuang and taken to a strange place. She must be trying her best to escape. She is so thin and timid, but she is fighting with Qin Wushuang tenaciously. I will definitely not collapse here."
"I will take good care of Xiang Xiang, take good care of my parents, and manage the studio well, waiting for A-Yuan to return safely."
"That's right!" Ye Ci's nose felt sore, and his heart, which had been hanging for a day and a night, finally settled down a little. "Brother Pei, this is how you should be! Qin Wushuang kidnapped my sister-in-law not only to satisfy his perverted psychology, but also to watch you being tortured by this torment until you are neither human nor ghost. You can't fall for his trick, you have to stand up!"
"Sister-in-law is working hard over there, and you should work hard over here. I don't believe he can break up the two lovers!"
"Yeah." Pei Xingzhi nodded, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
Ye Ci: "But the premise of standing up is that you have to protect your body. You haven't slept for a day and a night, go take a nap and think about it. I'll watch over you here."
"No need." Pei Xingzhi stretched out a finger and asked Xiangxiang to hold it. "I'll just sleep next to Xiangxiang for a while. After I wake up, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to check the surveillance. I always feel that there is something wrong with that surveillance."
"What's the problem?" Ye Ci asked.
Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Have you been to see those two alleys?"
Ye Ci: "I've seen it, what happened to those two alleys?"
Pei Xingzhi: "One of the two alleys is a straight alley that leads to a family's backyard and has no exit. The other one is at a fork in the road, and it leads to the next street after going around. The time when Ah Yuan disappeared, the route she was taken away, and the suspected vehicle have all been basically confirmed, but why can't we find any trace of her?"
"The suspected black car was a fake license plate car. The owner has been taken to the Public Security Bureau by the police, but he insisted that he had never seen A Yuan in the alley. Even his car did not find anything related to A Yuan. Don't you think this is too strange?"
"Hiss..." Ye Ci raised his hand and pinched his chin, his eyes a little confused, "It's strange, but wasn't that the only suspect car there at the time? Besides that car, what else could have taken my sister-in-law away quietly?"
"He must be lying when he says he has never met my sister-in-law."
"...Not necessarily." Pei Xingzhi shook his head. "There were actually two cars in the alley at the time, but one of them belonged to a resident in the alley, so the police quickly ruled it out as a suspect."
"But this does not mean that it cannot be a tool to take Ayuan away."
"...What do you mean?" Ye Ci's heart skipped a beat, and all the hairs on his body stood up. "Brother Pei, do you suspect that the suspect car is just a cover?"
Pei Xingzhi: "It's just a suspicion. Whether it's a cover-up or not, we have to let the police investigate to find out."
"Yeah." Ye Ci nodded, "Then go to sleep first, and then go to the Public Security Bureau to resolve this suspicion."
Pei Xingzhi took a deep breath and then closed his eyes: "Call me in two hours."
Ye Ci: "No problem."
“Buzz——”
“Buzz——”
Just as Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes, Ye Ci's cell phone suddenly rang at an inopportune time.
"...Shen Yanhui?!" He looked at the name on the caller ID and widened his eyes in surprise.
