Chapter 52 Missing
Xu Qingsui nodded: "I think it tastes pretty good. I like sweet red wine, not bitter ones."
Huo Xilin looked straight ahead with a smile on his face, and said nothing more.
The car stopped under a tree. The farmer was a bearded man in his thirties or forties, with blond hair and blue eyes. One could vaguely tell that he was very handsome when he was young.
He greeted the two people in authentic English, then invited them into the wooden house, poured them some coffee, and then left.
Xu Qingsui was good at English when she was in school and could get almost full marks in the written test, but unfortunately her spoken English was not good.
The farmer spoke such fluent English that she could only vaguely hear individual words.
After the farmer left, she asked Huo Xilin, "What did he just say?"
Huo Xilin patiently translated for Xu Qingsui: "He said that another investor is coming, so let's wait a moment while he goes to the cellar to get some new red wine for us to taste."
Just as Huo Xilin finished speaking, there was the sound of a car approaching from afar in the yard outside the house, and then the engine stalled.
Xu Qingsui guessed that it must be another investor who had arrived.
Soon the 'investor' walked into the cabin.
"Qin Fang?" Xu Qingsui just felt that Country F was too small and he could meet acquaintances wherever he went.
Qin Fang didn't seem surprised to see the two of them. He raised his eyebrows at Xu Qingsui and greeted him, "Hi, we meet again."
Huo Xilin's face was gloomy, and he asked, "Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Qin Fang sat down opposite the two of them, crossed his legs, looking nonchalant. Facing Huo Xilin's powerful aura, he was not afraid at all.
"Are you investigating my whereabouts?" Huo Xilin asked.
Qin Fang raised his index finger and shook it: "NONONO, China is your Huo family's territory, but Country F is my Qin family's territory. I am not interested in your whereabouts at all. I am only interested in Miss Xu's whereabouts. On my territory, I must ensure Miss Xu's safety at all times."
Huo Xilin narrowed his eyes slightly: "I warn you again, Xu Qingsui is my wife, you should pay attention to your identity."
"I know." Qin Fang shrugged indifferently: "I didn't do anything out of line, did I? You reminded me to keep my distance last night, and you see I was very far away today."
Invisible flames of war spread between the two men. Xu Qingsui, who was sitting on the side, felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the momentum of the two men.
She stood up suddenly: "Well, you are all here to discuss investment, right?"
"Since you are here to discuss investment, you guys go ahead and talk first. I'll go out for some fresh air." After saying that, Xu Qingsui hurried out of the wooden house without waiting for the two to speak.
Breathing the fresh air outside, she finally relaxed.
The vineyards outside have all dried up. This year's vines have been pruned, and the dead branches and leaves are hung on the wire racks, covered with a layer of white ice and snow.
Xu Qingsui walked aimlessly along the road.
A black sedan drove in from a distance and stopped in front of Xu Qingsui. The door opened and a man in a baseball cap jumped out, grabbed Xu Qingsui's arm and led her into the car.
This sudden change frightened Xu Qingsui so much that he screamed, "Help!"
She tried hard to pull the car door with her hands to break free, but she was just a thin woman after all and was no match for the strong and tall man in front of her.
What's more, there was another man in the car, who directly tied up Xu Qingsui's struggling hands. The two of them lifted her into the car. In a short time, her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and her mouth was sealed with tape.
After finishing everything, the man in the baseball cap closed the car door, sat in the driving seat in one go, and drove away.
Xu Qingsui huddled in a corner in fear, unable to see the faces of the two people in the car. She tried hard to recall whether she had offended anyone, but it seemed that apart from the Lu family, she could not think of anyone else.
Could it really be done by the Lu family?
After Xu Qingsui left, neither of the two men in the wooden house spoke.
Huo Xilin was drinking coffee when he suddenly felt uneasy and had a bad premonition.
He immediately put down the cup and went out to look for Xu Qingsui, but it was all white outside the house, with no one in sight.
He took out his cell phone and called Xu Qingsui, but the call was hung up after two seconds. When he called again, the phone was turned off.
"What happened?" Qin Fang followed him out: "Xu Qingsui is missing?"
"Look for it!" Huo Xilin's first instinct was that something had happened to Xu Qingsui.
Qin Fang simply couldn't believe that Xu Qingsui could disappear in his own territory. He was just boasting that he would protect Xu Qingsui's safety, but in the blink of an eye he was slapped in the face.
He immediately took Huo Xilin to find the farmer and retrieved the surveillance footage.
But all we could see was Xu Qingsui going out and walking to the left. After a while, she entered the blind spot of the surveillance camera, and her figure never appeared in the surveillance camera again.
“The surveillance camera here was broken before, but I didn’t fix it because there are no grapes and thieves won’t get in,” the farmer said tremblingly.
"I'm short of your money!" Qin Fang was so angry that he almost died: "If anything happens to Xu Qingsui, I'll kick you out immediately!"
Huo Xilin kept his eyes on the surveillance screen, replaying it over and over again. Finally, a black sedan caught his attention.
Coincidentally, the direction the car came in from was exactly the direction Xu Qingsui disappeared, and not long after the car came in, it quickly drove away.
"Check this car immediately." Huo Xilin pointed at the surveillance screen: "The license plate number is blocked. Do you know this man in the baseball cap?"
The farmer looked again and again carefully and shook his head: "His face is covered. I can't see it clearly at all."
"I'll contact the person right away." Qin Fang walked out of the monitoring room to make a phone call. Huo Xilin was not idle either. He immediately contacted his connections and was determined to find Xu Qingsui.
The black car drove out of the farm and headed towards the forest in the distance.
I don’t know how much time had passed, so long that the sky began to darken.
Outside the car window, the dense woods made the light particularly dim, and only a winding asphalt road was glowing white.
Xu Qingsui stared outside and did not dare to close her eyes for a moment. She must remember the way and then find a chance to escape.
Finally, the car stopped at the end of the road.
Two men dressed in black got out of the car, dragged her out and threw her to the ground.
Xu Qingsui felt severe pain in his knees and arms, and he clenched his teeth to keep himself calm.
She watched the two men work together to push the black sedan off the cliff from the end of the road, and then they walked in front of her.
