Chapter 55
She had just opened her eyes dazedly and before she could see who was calling her, the knock on the door rang out again.
Lin Qingyi's first reaction was to look at Ning Cong'an beside him, but he only saw an empty bed.
Her heart sank, and she inexplicably felt that something bad must have happened.
The knocking continued and she didn't care about the slippers beside the bed and ran to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Mu Yewu looking nervous, and behind her, there were a few people who were also woken up by the knocking on the door.
Mu Yewu originally wanted to talk to Lin Qingyi alone, but Ziyin saw that her face looked very bad and was unwilling to do so no matter what. They were a whole team, and they had to face whatever happened together.
When the other members heard her say this, they couldn't help but straighten their expressions and followed her. So less than five minutes after Mu Yewu entered the villa, everyone had gathered in Lin Qingyi's room.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Ning Cong'an was not in the room.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Mu Yewu didn't wait any longer and directly told the most important thing: "Ning Cong'an is missing."
"What?!"
Lin Qingyi's expression changed drastically, and his face turned pale immediately. Everyone's expression also became worse and worse.
Mu Yewu knew the situation was urgent, so she didn't keep it a secret and asked Lin Qingyi to try calling.
Lin Qingyi called more than ten times in a row, but there was no response. Ning Cong'an's phone was not turned off, so something must have happened and she couldn't answer the phone now.
Seeing that she couldn't get through, Mu Yewu frowned. She had called the police early in the morning, but the police said that the person had been missing for less than 24 hours and they couldn't file a case for investigation. Mu Yewu could only secretly send her assistant and bodyguard to investigate the matter.
The assistant found the movement of the license plate number, but it was obvious that the other party had been prepared. The car was parked in a remote wilderness. They went there and found that the entire mountain was deserted. They could not check the road surveillance, so it was difficult to track the next move.
But everyone basically has a guess in their mind, and that is Ning Youqin.
But there is no evidence now, so it is impossible to directly question Ning Youqin.
After Mu Yewu finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.
They really can't do anything now.
As long as there was no news from Ning Cong'an, they couldn't concentrate on their work, especially Lin Qingyi, whose face was now pale.
Just when the seven people were at a loss, Lin Qingyi's cell phone suddenly rang.
It's an unfamiliar number.
Lin Qingyi didn't care about anything anymore. Even if she saw a harassing call clearly written on the phone, she would probably answer it without hesitation.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope.
As Lin Qing answered the calls one by one, his expression changed again and again.
Ziyin didn't say anything, but gestured for her to turn on the speakerphone.
Lin Qingyi placed the phone on the table, and the voice coming from the phone was Ning Youqin's.
"You don't need to look for Ning Cong'an, she's here with me."
As if she heard some noise, Ning Youqin repeated what she had just said to Lin Qingyi.
Mu Yewu reacted almost immediately and didn't intend to remain silent. She said calmly, "Imprisoning someone is illegal, even if that person is your own daughter."
As soon as she finished speaking, laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"How do you know I was imprisoned and not her own choice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard on the other end of the phone.
The footsteps soon stopped, and then another voice was heard.
"I'm sorry, I chose to quit the forest."
Lin Qingyi only took a second to recognize that it was Ning Cong'an's voice.
Ning Cong'an's tone was calm, almost exactly the same as usual, without any ups and downs in his voice. If it were someone else, they might really believe it.
But Lin Qing understood her again and again. If she wanted to leave, how could she leave now?
Of course, we are not fools, so how could we easily believe this statement?
But before Lin Qingyi could ask any further questions, the call was hung up.
Looking at the disconnected page, Mu Yewu cursed and then picked up the phone to call the police. This time the reason was no longer Ning Cong'an's disappearance, but it directly escalated to his imprisonment.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the police asked her to go directly to the police station to explain the matter clearly, and the others gradually calmed down.
The phone call was more like a sedative. At least I knew that Ning Cong'an was safe and could still speak.
Several people followed Mu Yewu and rushed to the police station to tell them about the incident. Mu Yewu didn't care about anything else and just exaggerated the matter. As a result, the police immediately started looking for Ning Cong'an's whereabouts.
Yan Jieping also received the news and rushed over.
Lin Qingyi never expected her to come over. When she saw Yan Jieping appear at the door of the police station, she thought she had seen it wrong.
Yan Jieping is the boss after all, and he is calmer and more experienced than everyone else present.
Early in the morning, Mu Yewu started contacting Yan Jieping.
She didn't think too much about it at the time, just thinking about contacting as many people as possible. Afterwards, she felt a little annoyed. Ning Cong'an had no relationship with her, and their group was not affiliated with Yan Jieping's company. Why did she subconsciously contact Yan Jieping?
However, seeing Yan Jieping handling things in an orderly manner, she gradually felt more at ease.
Soon, several people began to march towards their destination.
After the police investigated, they found that it was not in Ning Youqin's original house, as if they were worried that they would come directly to her house, but in another suburban villa. This house should be the property that Ning Youqin had just purchased, and the police found that it was recently sold.
Mu Yewu originally thought the same as the police, that is, to go directly to the house to look for the person, but Yan Jieping made another suggestion.
What she wanted was to let Mu Yewu and Lin Qingyi come first to avoid alerting the enemy. After all, Ning Cong'an was still in her hands. Although she was her biological mother, based on Ning Youqin's previous actions, it would not be surprising what she did.
After listening to her analysis, everyone felt that it made sense and proceeded according to Yan Jieping's plan.
So when Ning Youqin opened the door, she saw the two people who appeared at the door as she expected.
Lin Qingyi had a cold face, while Mu Yewu's eyes were full of anger.
Ning Youqin looked at the two people outside the door and smiled. Her eyes glanced at Lin Qingyi and then stopped at Mu Yewu. She seemed to be speaking only to her: "I think I made it very clear on the phone. What can I do for you to come here now?"
Mu Yewu sneered and said, "She's signed under my name now. Can't I come and see my artist?"
"However much liquidated damages are required, I will help her pay it."
"Let me see her."
The two men stood at the door of the villa, without moving at all, as if they would not leave until they saw someone.
Ning Youqin didn't say anything and didn't move. The atmosphere was tense.
The police and members standing by held their breath. The police thought that if Ning Youqin didn't move, they would rush out. Unexpectedly, the next second, Ning Youqin snorted coldly, then moved away, indicating that they could come in if they wanted.
Mu Yewu didn't expect that she would let them in so easily, and was stunned for a moment. It was only until Ning Youqin spoke to urge them that the two of them entered the house.
The house was empty, and one could tell at a glance that no one had lived there before.
Seeing that the two of them were still observing, Ning Youqin frowned and said, "Is observing other people's homes your upbringing?"
Lin Qingyi withdrew her gaze and looked towards the room on the second floor, and began to think about the function of the room on the second floor. Mu Yewu ignored her and continued to look around.
Ning Youqin was furious and wanted to say something, but in the end she held it back. In her heart, she just wanted them to finish watching it quickly so they could leave.
How could she have imagined that the outside was surrounded by a group of police?
Ning Youqin took them to a room at the end of the second floor and then opened the door.
It was obviously a new house, but the door made an old sound, creaking. Ning Cong'an inside turned around, and Lin Qingyi met her eyes.
The room was very large. Ning Cong'an sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with the sunlight falling on her. Lin Qingyi suddenly thought of the time when Ning Cong'an was lying on the hospital bed after helping her block the accidental explosion.
This time it seems to be just as fragile as it was then, like a glass ornament that would break if touched a little harder.
When Ning Cong'an saw Lin Qingyi's face, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he turned his face away and no longer faced them.
It took a total of one day from the time Ning Cong'an disappeared to the time they arrived here.
Ning Cong'an's heart was in turmoil because of that phone call.
Now when I see them, I don’t know what expression to use.
Ning Youqin said at the right time: "I have met her. She is my daughter. What can I do to her? Can you leave now?"
Mu Yewu snorted coldly after hearing this: "I don't know who blew her head off and gave her a mild concussion last time."
When Ning Youqin heard her mention this matter, she felt embarrassed. At that time, she had no intention of hurting Ning Cong'an. She just wanted to teach Lin Qingyi a lesson and give her a warning. Who knew that Ning Cong'an would pounce on her herself.
Seeing her expression change again and again, and finally looking at Lin Qingyi viciously, Mu Yewu said: "Other people's daughters are not daughters."
Lin Qingyi ignored this side. From the moment she entered the door until now, her eyes have been on Ning Cong'an.
After making eye contact with her, Ning Cong'an never looked at her again.
Lin Qingyi felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. In fact, she was not sure what to do if Ning Cong'an really chose to give up? In fact, after all, she didn't know Ning Cong'an that well, right?
She opened her mouth and said, "Can I be alone with Ning Cong'an for a while?" This was the first sentence she had said since she came here.
Ning Youqin and Mu Yewu were arguing with each other when Ning Youqin's first reaction to her words was to refuse.
"It's good enough that we can meet. Why do you want to talk alone? You're not my agent..."
Mu Yewu interrupted directly, "You mean I'm the agent and I have the final say? I agree to let Lin Qingyi stay and talk to her alone."
"What?" Ning Youqin was stunned by her irrational and ridiculous words. Her mind was still spinning for a moment, but her patience had indeed run out. She didn't intend to continue the argument with them. She said in a cold voice, "If you don't leave, I'll have you kicked out."
