Chapter 92: My Brother's Boyfriend is Missing
Lin Zhi was not panicked when his disguise was seen through. Anyway, the identity of the sister-in-law was fake. Instead, he found it very interesting to see the situation develop in this way.
He had a plan in mind and found a way to be in sync with Jing Xun.
With Jing Xun's personality, getting close to him and making him feel safe requires a long process, a long time and patience.
This is not Lin Zhi's style. Although he appears like this, it does not mean that he really has infinite gentle emotions in his heart to influence others. He prefers to do things his own way.
Then this time, let's just consider the opposite direction, make Jing Xun feel dangerous, and attract him to explore.
Jing Xun's creations have long been influenced by his traumas. Those things that he feared, hated, broke, and integrated him have become a part of him.
Lin Zhi withdrew his gaze from the painting, took his coat from the balcony and put it on. His fingers in his pocket casually tapped on the smooth blade. With his other hand, he picked up the phone and sent a message to Wei Jinrong, whose life or death was unknown.
It was not yet nine o'clock, and Lin Zhi had no intention of using the kitchen to make breakfast. She seriously played the role of a person who was unable to eat and was suffering from the pain of love.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere in this house. He was not sure whether Jing Xun was watching him now, so he maintained a depressed look on the surface.
The more realistic his performance was, the weirder Jing Xun felt.
The flaws must be revealed slowly to lure the prey deeper.
The light outside the house became brighter and brighter. When the doorbell rang, Lin Zhi did not rush to open the door. Instead, she looked at Jing Xun who came out of the bedroom and met his gray-blue eyes.
Jing Xun must have just finished a shower, his hair was a little wet, water droplets were dripping down his face, and his gaze had a strange and indifferent erotic feel to it.
Chang Yuhan is always very punctual. The appointment was at nine o'clock. Her car stopped in front of Jingxun's door at eight fifty-nine, and she rang the doorbell at exactly nine o'clock.
The door opened from the inside after a while. Even though Chang Yuhan was wearing high heels, she still had some difficulty raising her head and looking at Jing Xun.
"how are things?"
As an agent, and having been instructed by her aunt and mother, Chang Yuhan paid more attention to Jing Xun's physical and mental condition.
"good."
Jing Xun responded. Chang Yuhan didn't know his true condition. She just thought that he didn't like getting along with people and had mild bipolar disorder.
He looked at Lin Zhi and said to Chang Yuhan, "Please take him to find out the situation."
"No problem. I will try my best to find out for you. There is no entry and exit record. He should still be in the country. If you can't find anything, do you want to consider calling the police?"
Chang Yuhan learned yesterday that her aunt's eldest son was suspected to be missing. She immediately used her connections to find out his whereabouts, but she could not find him. She only knew that he resigned half a month ago and had no idea where he went after that.
Like Jing Xun, Chang Yuhan didn't think the matter was serious. After all, Wei Jinrong was a 30-year-old adult man with a stable salary and a good resume. His early resignation showed that he was prepared to leave, and he might just be traveling alone to relax.
Knowing that Jing Xun was not in a good condition to go out, Chang Yuhan tried her best to make things clear.
"Well, we can file a case."
As the only blood relative present, Jing Xun answered like this.
In fact, they all knew that calling the police was useless. It would just be a file. After all, Wei Jinrong was not a criminal, nor was he a minor. The police also had many cases and it was impossible for them to waste energy looking for someone they didn't know where he was.
The police couldn’t find it at the moment. Lin Zhi, who knew the inside story, answered in her heart.
Not only was it impossible to trace Wei Jinrong's movements, but all the surveillance videos of the day he disappeared were watched over and over again, and no one could figure out how he left.
That day, the company's people disguised themselves as property management and searched the entire apartment door to door in the name of inspection, but no trace of him was found.
Chang Yuhan cast a friendly look at Lin Zhi, and when she was about to speak, she saw the painting in the living room and her eyes lit up.
“Is this your latest painting?”
Chang Yuhan walked quickly to the painting. As Jing Xun's painting commercial agent, Chang Yuhan was also half an insider. Although she was more familiar with commercial operations, she also had a good eye for appreciation and knew clearly the market price and artistic value of various paintings.
Chang Yuhan didn't know whether Jing Xun had finished the painting, but in her eyes it was already very complete.
She didn't see the flowers in the mist at first, but from the details of the painting she saw a light red color like blood stains. The blurred brushstrokes made her feel as if something was hidden in the rain and mist, ready to move.
This made Chang Yuhan feel a chill in the damp and cold autumn day. When she realized that the mist outlined a flower, she found that the rain lines floating in the painting were not raindrops, but light-colored, silky stamens, mixed in the dark-toned paint, like spider silk that was easily overlooked.
“In here…”
Chang Yuhan subconsciously wanted to discuss the details of the painting with Jing Xun, but saw Lin Zhi. She paused, realizing that she was being a little rude and forgetting what she came for. She smiled at Lin Zhi apologetically.
"Then let's go find out the situation first, and I'll talk to you about the painting later."
Chang Yuhan knew that Jing Xun had not produced a painting that touched her heart for some time. When she visited him before and saw the finished or semi-finished works that had been torn up, she felt a little sorry, but she knew that artists were always like this; the more talented they were, the more picky they would be.
She also knew that Jing Xun's wish was to paint a painting that he felt was perfect, and he was still pursuing it.
"An Ye Lake", which made him stand out in the industry, and his representative work, "Gold's Bird", which was rated by the master as having extremely high artistic value and was the most expensive painting sold, were both past tenses that Jing Xun did not fully satisfy.
She curiously asked Jing Xun what kind of perfection he wanted. Jing Xun shook his head and said that he didn't know either, because it was a feeling that could not be created but only captured.
Jing Xun watched Lin Zhi and Chang Yuhan leave, and watched Lin Zhi walk out the door.
When Chang Yuhan reached the door, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Does this painting have a name? Do you plan to sell it?"
Jing Xun responded: "Beauty in the Mist, not for sale."
Chang Yuhan had a puzzled expression, as if asking where the beauty was in the painting?
Is this too much of a stretch? Why is it so difficult for people to communicate with each other?
Jing Xun didn't know how to answer her and remained silent.
His memory was disconnected again. He didn't remember why he created this painting, nor did he remember the inspiration or the details. He only remembered the irresistible feeling.
He did not get rid of the bottleneck. This painting was like a flash of light last night, which made him particularly concerned.
This is what he hates and is most annoyed about his intermittent amnesia. He can forget what he has done, but he cannot forget what he has thought. However, he has no control over this.
The only person who appeared before him last night was his brother's lover. He looked at the painting again and again, trying to recall something, but as usual he could not remember anything.
There was nothing unusual in the surveillance footage. The sister-in-law, who came for the first time in a slightly embarrassed manner due to special circumstances, was polite, quiet and reserved, and did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him at all.
But there must be something going on, it's about my brother's lover.
Chang Yuhan closed the door, and Jing Xun lowered his eyes to look at his own painting. In his mind was Lin Zhi's slightly sad eyes. This completely different feeling was like a dangerous abyss, tempting people to peek inside.
Jing Xun felt an irrepressible irritation in his heart, and when his eyes met Lin Zhi's this morning, he even wanted to study him carefully to see where the feeling of this painting came from. Unfortunately, he still remembered that she was his sister-in-law, and he couldn't scare her like that.
Outside the house, Lin Zhi got into Chang Yuhan's car.
Chang Yuhan was a talkative person, and Lin Zhi did not intend to hide too much, so Chang Yuhan quickly found out why Lin Zhi was looking for someone. Jing Xun did not explain it very clearly in the message.
"Don't be too nervous. Maybe he went to participate in some camping activities or something. There is no signal in the mountains and seas. It's rare for you to return home, so you can go around more. If there is any place you want to go, I can arrange a guide for you."
Chang Yuhan felt that there was an 80% chance that Wei Jinrong had left without saying goodbye, but it was not a good idea to talk about this with his lover, so he simply started talking about other things.
Although she and Wei Jinrong were not particularly familiar with each other, he was also Aunt Jing's son. In short, they were more or less related, so Chang Yuhan had a good attitude towards Lin Zhi.
Mainly facing Lin Zhi's face, I'm afraid few people would not be enthusiastic.
"Okay, thank you Sister Han. I will definitely take a good look around if I have the chance. I haven't been back to China for a long time and I'm not familiar with this area. I just happen to need a guide. I'll arrange it later depending on the situation."
Lin Zhi turned the conversation to the direction she wanted to know without leaving any trace, and asked, "Sister Han, do you know any hotels with good value for money nearby? I don't want to disturb Jingxun all the time. If Jingxun is painting, it's not good to be disturbed. But his paintings are really beautiful. I also knew about it before, but I didn't say it in front of him, for fear that he would think I was trying to get close to him."
"I can ask the hotel for you. Don't worry too much. Jing Xun just doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. Which of his paintings do you like best?"
When talking about Jing Xun, Chang Yuhan became even more talkative.
Lin Zhi talked to her about Jing Xun's paintings. Chang Yuhan found that Lin Zhi was really knowledgeable and had some understanding of commercial insurance. He was not the kind of person who appreciated art but despised the smell of money. Some of his views were in line with hers.
Chang Yuhan became more and more interested in the conversation. When they arrived at the educational institution, she asked Lin Zhi for his contact information before getting off the car and added him as a friend.
Lin Zhi was used to chatting with people, and seemingly passively gave out his contact information. He and Chang Yuhan headed into the organization.
The receptionist at the agency said, "You guys should ask Teacher Wei as well. He resigned half a month ago, and we don't know where he went. We are really sorry."
Chang Yuhan keenly grasped the information revealed in her words. When she was about to speak, she heard the young man next to her ask, "Has anyone else asked this?"
"Yes, he said it was Teacher Wei's friend."
Lin Zhi knew that they were probably from the company or the police, so she continued to ask, "Didn't he say anything before he resigned, such as where he was going and what he was going to do?"
"We don't know for sure. Teacher Wei rarely chats with others. We have also asked other teachers in the past few days, but they don't know where Teacher Wei has gone either."
Lin Zhi, who was diligently playing the role of her missing boyfriend, asked, "Then the last student he tutored before he resigned was not revealed?"
"She said she didn't know either," the receptionist said, and then saw the girl coming in from the main door and said to Lin Zhi, "You can go ask her yourself. She just happened to be here for class."
Lin Zhi turned around and saw the girl in her twenties carrying the cloth bag. She had long hair and a pretty face. She noticed the gazes of Lin Zhi and Chang Yuhan, but had no intention of stopping.
Chang Yuhan walked over quickly, her high heels making sounds on the tile floor.
Chang Yuhan walked up to her and asked, "Wait a minute, classmate, can I ask you something?"
"Is it about where Teacher Wei went? I don't know either."
Perhaps because she had been asked this question before and had experience, the girl answered first.
Lin Zhi apologized, "Sorry to bother you, but I still want to ask if you know why he resigned?"
The girl shook her head. Lin Zhi was silent for a moment and continued to ask, "Is there anyone he is close to?"
Even though the girl in front of him concealed it quickly, Lin Zhi still noticed that her expression was unnatural.
Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly in her heart, but was not very surprised.
It would be even more interesting if Wei Jinrong "cheated".
