Chapter 495: One is more unlucky than the other
“Disappeared?!”
The other members of the Du family all gathered around and looked nervously at Du Junyan, who brought back the news.
"What do you mean by 'disappeared'? Wasn't she arrested for some kidnapping case not long ago? How could she be released? Could it be that the unit that detained her made a mistake and someone redeemed her?"
"That was an attempted kidnapping. There are witnesses and evidence. It's basically the same as a conviction. How can someone just take the person away casually?"
"Even if there was no kidnapping, she is still a target that needs to be closely watched. She is capable of kidnapping for a little profit. You can imagine the character of such a person. Letting her out at this time will cause great danger. Don't they have any idea of it?"
As the mouthpiece who brought back this news, Du Junyan was no less surprised than his family members. Facing everyone's chattering and questioning, he only responded with one sentence.
"Disappeared means that no one redeemed her, and no one released her. She disappeared right under the noses of everyone in the detention center."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into silence for a few seconds, and then it was like an explosion of boiling water!
"How is this possible? How could a living person just disappear into thin air? Is this a mistake? Did they see her disappear with their own eyes? Could it be a trick?"
"According to the detention center, no one saw her disappear, but from the surveillance video, she did disappear in an instant."
Du Hexuan's face darkened slightly: "Is there something wrong with the surveillance video? Could it be that someone deliberately tampered with it?"
"At first they thought so too and asked professionals to check it out, and they found that there was no trace of editing or splicing in the video."
Father Du's face was not looking good either: "Did the people who were in charge of watching her say anything? Did she have any unusual behavior before she disappeared? How long did she disappear before they discovered it? Was there really no one who saw her leave during this period of time?"
"There was nothing unusual, and that's exactly why we were caught off guard. According to what they said, she disappeared between 6 and 7 p.m. At 6 o'clock, she was still there when the person in charge of looking after her brought her dinner. When they finished other things and went in to collect the dishes at 7 o'clock, they found that there was no one inside, and the food was untouched. She had completely disappeared."
Afterwards, the person in charge of looking after her discovered that she was missing. Naturally, his first reaction was to check the surveillance footage, but he didn't expect to see the footage of her disappearing out of thin air. This is how the news reached Du Anrao and others.
Unlike the other members of the Du family who were worried, Du Anrao's heart, which had been restless, sank when he heard the news. He inexplicably felt a sense of understanding and melancholy that it was just as it should be.
Just when the Du family was full of worries, fearing that Xi Yangjia's disappearance would have a negative impact on Du Anrao and the current situation, a sudden voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"She is one of the heroines of the two books related to An An."
Everyone subconsciously looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Xi Jingyue and Du Desheng walking in together.
"Mr. Xi, why are you here?"
Du Anrao looked at him with some surprise, and was very surprised that Xi Jingyue appeared at this time.
Du Junyan was too lazy to even act and asked through gritted teeth, "Boss Xi, have you been...free lately?"
Are you done with your own company's work? Have you finished the things in the group? Why do you come to our house whenever you have something to do? If you don't know, you might think this is your home. Bah, bah, bah, what do you think? No one can think that!
Xi Jingyue seemed not to notice the sharp and unfriendly looks from the Du family, and smiled faintly, "No matter how many things there are, they must be prioritized. In my eyes, nothing is more important than what is happening here."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked as if their teeth were in extreme pain.
Even Du Desheng, who brought him here, glanced at him subtly and coughed twice to remind him to get his business done.
"I rushed here because I heard about Xi Yanjia's situation."
Father Du's eyes flickered, and he said coldly: "She is from your Xi family, you should know her whereabouts."
Unexpectedly, Xi Jingyue shook his head with a serious expression: "After learning about this, I immediately asked someone to check the recent situation of my second cousin's family, and found that she did not go home. I also asked some of Xi Yanjia's good friends, and they haven't seen Xi Yanjia recently, and they don't know where she went."
Everyone in the Du family looked at each other and frowned at the same time: "How do you know they are not lying?"
"In fact, after my cousin was arrested, my second cousin and his family were influenced by her. Their company was investigated, and the previously agreed cooperation basically fell through, causing heavy losses. It wasn't long before her brother was exposed for bullying classmates, forming cliques, molesting girls and other bad scandals. He was directly expelled from school and became a negative example in the upper class circle."
"Especially in the past few days, I don't know what happened to their family, but they have been in bad luck one after another. First, my second cousin who loves to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs accidentally stepped on empty air when going downstairs in the middle of the night and hit his head. When he woke up, he was not only paralyzed on one side of his body, but his face and mouth were also crooked. The doctor said that there was blood congestion in his brain, which compressed the nerves and caused a stroke."
Everyone in the Du family: "???" What kind of Mongolian doctor is this? Why does he sound so unreliable?
"Then her mother, my second aunt, went to a sister party and was accidentally pushed into the water. It was just a common cough that didn't last long, but it inexplicably developed into acute pneumonia. She is still lying in the ICU."
"And my cousin, he gave up on himself after being expelled from school, and spent his days hanging out with those second-generation rich kids who flirt with cats and dogs, going to bars and singing karaoke, living a life of luxury. On the night my second aunt got into trouble, he also got into a serious car accident due to drunk driving and was hospitalized, and he is still in critical condition."
Now not only Du Anrao, but everyone in the Du family also heard something amiss from Xi Jingyue's description.
It would be fine if it were just one or two things, but so many things happened in succession, and the entire family of three except Xi Yanjia were admitted to the hospital, and the things they encountered were worse than the last. This is quite interesting.
No one in the Du family thought this was a coincidence, especially during such a sensitive and special period.
"In addition, when I asked her close friends and classmates to inquire about her whereabouts, I found that these people had all encountered some bad luck recently, ranging from spraining their ankles when stepping on a stone when going out to being hit on the head by a flower pot falling from a high altitude while walking on the road, and there were no exceptions. "
Duan Rao's eyes shone when he heard this, and he almost immediately guessed Xi Jingyue's thoughts: "Are you suspecting that they... have all had their luck sucked away by Xi Yangjia?"
