Chapter 18 He Disappeared
The red Ferrari was speeding along the city's main road like a ball of fire. The exciting roar of the engine sounded like a Grammy queen singing passionately, attracting the attention of passers-by and vehicles.
A luxury car and a beautiful woman, such a configuration should make any man happy.
However, for Lu Mingfei, no matter the beautiful woman who was close to him or the envious eyes of others, they could not arouse his interest in the slightest.
Just now on the elevated road, he had already seen the building surrounded by many tall buildings.
The style has not changed much, except that the words "Black Prince" are no longer Tianjiao Group but three big characters.
The boy's back, which was originally tense and straight, was completely pressed against the back of the chair at that moment, as if all his strength had been drained away.
The red-haired girl in the driver's seat had been observing with her peripheral vision. Seeing this, she said half-jokingly and half-tentatively:
"What's wrong with you? You look so distraught. Did a girl dump you?"
She didn't think about the Black Prince Group. After all, Lu Mingfei had never come into contact with this behemoth in his 17 years of life.
Moreover, the young master of the Black Prince Group is her younger brother, who has been studying abroad since kindergarten, so it is impossible for Lu Mingfei to have any intersection with him.
So where exactly is the problem? Nuonuo secretly analyzed Lu Mingfei's abnormality today, but because he was driving, his brain could not function at full power.
We can only hope that Norma can help and dig out some unknown past of Lu Mingfei.
But what she didn't expect was that the joke she made turned out to be true.
“It’s pretty much the same.” Lu Mingfei leaned back in his chair, his eyes penetrating the car window, chasing the setting sun in the distant sky, his face full of stories.
“…”
The silence lasted for a while, and the red-haired girl couldn't help but ask: "And then?"
According to the normal trajectory, shouldn't Lu Mingfei use a sad and confused tone to narrate the process of his acquaintance and separation with a lilac-like girl?
Why did it suddenly end here? "It's not a broken heart, I just lost contact with my friends." Lu Mingfei replied indifferently.
Nuonuo was surprised when he heard this: "You still have friends?"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Her stabbing was too fast and too unexpected.
Lu Mingfei was not angry, but just glanced at her calmly and said, "If you don't even have a friend in this world, you are such a failure."
After he finished speaking, he kept silent. No matter how Nuonuo tested and tried to trick him, he just ignored her.
Seeing his scoundrel look, the red-haired girl wanted to kick him out of the car.
However, this is a valuable talent after all. If she kicks him to the e-sports club, the principal will probably go crazy.
Fortunately, this embarrassment did not last long, and the red Ferrari soon arrived downstairs of the Black Prince Group.
Pushing open the car door, Lu Mingfei looked up at the skyscraper that was almost going to become a landmark building, his eyes gloomy and uncertain.
The security guard in front of the building saw a car parked at the main entrance and wanted to step forward and ask the person to move the car away.
But after seeing the red-haired girl getting out of the driver's seat, he silently returned to his original position.
This girl is of some importance. She calls the chairman uncle and you can't afford to offend her.
"Now that we're here, what are you going to do?" Nuonuo leaned against the car door with one hand and said seductively, "If you want to go in and take a look, call me sister and I'll make sure you have access."
She seemed to want to show off her elegance as a senior, but unfortunately a future junior did not appreciate it.
"No, thank you." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
With one last look at the skyscrapers, he left the tall and bright girl behind him, hid in the shadows under the high-rise buildings, and walked away alone.
There was no romantic dusk or sunset, but Nuonuo still felt a kind of loneliness as if she was abandoned by the whole world from that thin back.
I was fine this morning, why did I suddenly become depressed?
“Norma.”
"I am here."
The red hair hanging down beside her ears was blown by the breeze, revealing the delicate and small earphones. The girl said softly, "Have you found the owner of the 'Summer Cake Shop' and the 'Haunted House in the Forest' that Lu Mingfei was looking for before?"
“I haven’t found any information related to the Xia Tian Cake Shop. The owner of the abandoned villa went south to do business ten years ago, and now the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Strangely, the other party seemed to have forgotten about the villa and never put it up for sale.”
"Anything else?" Nuonuo was aware of the school's usual practice. The N96 mobile phone given to Lu Mingfei was 100% equipped with a tracking device.
Even the moment he connected to the Internet, he might have been completely under the academy's surveillance.
However, Norma's answer was hilarious.
It turned out that the school had evaluated that even if this N96 was delivered, Lu Mingfei would not have the opportunity to use it.
Because his uncle and aunt would take the phone away for safekeeping or other reasons, the equipment department did not make any modifications to the N96. It was just a communication device.
When Norma successfully obtained Lu Mingfei's mobile phone information, she only saw that he was browsing posts about Chu Zihang again, as if he had an inexplicable obsession with this senior.
So, has the school been prepared to use the best tactics early on?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Nuonuo was speechless.
But indeed, no one could have imagined that Lu Mingfei, a cowardly guy all his life, would suddenly stand up and resist his aunt's tyranny.
"What did the professor say?"
With such unexpected events, she didn't believe that Professor Guderian could still sit still.
After all, if Lu Mingfei was successfully admitted, there was a high probability that he would become his second student.
Norma said regretfully, "The academic interview work has not been completed yet. Professor Guderian is temporarily unable to come and give guidance. He asked you to help keep an eye on it and not to always think about playing."
"Okay." Nuonuo sighed and got back into the car: "The happy time is over~"
…
That night, after wandering around the city like a ghost for half a day, Lu Mingfei returned to his hotel in the CBD.
Ice-cold liquid gushed out from the shower head, turning into dozens of piercing water jets, mercilessly washing away every speck of dust that had adhered to the body during the outing, temporarily relieving the slight fatigue on the body after the long journey.
But the fatigue in my heart is like the ice frozen in winter, no matter how the cold water washes it, it can't be shaken at all.
Lu Mingfei looked in silence at the young man in the mirror with messy hair, bloodshot eyes and a slightly haggard face.
After separating from Chen Motong, he traveled to many places.
He went to the rental house where he lived with his parents before, wandered around the Children's Palace where someone's legend was spread, and looked at the luxurious villa area called Peacock Residence from a distance...
Finally, he confirmed one thing in a very unique braised food restaurant that was very much loved by a big boss.
The man named Chu Tianjiao, like the brother and sister, disappeared from this world.
"Old Chu, he passed away in a car accident, and he's been gone for many years."
The owner of the braised meat shop had a Bai Liquan cigarette in his mouth. He clearly didn't light it, but the words he said were like second-hand smoke, which made people's eyes red for some reason.
"Bang!"
The mirror reflecting the boy's pale face and thin body shattered.
A hint of dark red quietly flowed, slowly spreading along the staggered cracks of the lens, outlining a sad and beautiful blood-red flower on the mottled broken surface.
Warm blood slowly slid down from the tip of his fist, each drop was heavy and decisive, hitting the cold sink, making a tiny and dull sound.
In the shattered mirror, the pretty face looked hideous and angry.
"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."
"The report only says he's missing. There must be something else going on!"
