"Ha...haha, senior is really something. I guess he is busy with something again. I'll give him a call." Lin Yuhui smiled, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She took out her mobile phone and called Shen Cheng.
"The number you dialed is turned off..."
The final result made Lin Yuhui's smile freeze again, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart became stronger.
"What's wrong with the master, meow?" Looking at Lin Yuhui's appearance, Cheese couldn't help but ask.
"Ah...his phone is turned off. It must be out of battery. Wait for me to call Liusu." As she said that, Lin Yuhui called Liusu again.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
On the western side, Liusu cried in Liu Xiaobao's arms for a while, and then sat on the sofa like she did at the beginning, with a dull expression, like a piece of wood, motionless.
The cell phone she placed on the coffee table was buzzing at this moment, but Liusu seemed not to hear it. She was still sitting there in a daze, her eyes fixed on the two pistols on the coffee table.
Looking at "Sister Huihui" displayed on the caller ID, Shao Silin and the others looked at each other, and no one dared to reach out to answer the phone.
Chen Cheng fell off the cliff because he was covering their retreat, and now they have to face Chen Cheng's family...
"...What should I do? Should I tell her the truth?" Ji Yuanqiu asked gritting his teeth when the second call came.
"Boss Shen may not be in trouble. Let's keep it secret for now and wait for the exact news..."
"If Brother Chen really... wouldn't it be a huge blow to his family when they receive the news? At least we should let them be mentally prepared..." Dong Yuanhua interrupted Shao Silin.
"If Boss Shen were still alive, he certainly wouldn't want them to hear such news, right?" Shao Silin replied in a low voice.
“…”
Everyone fell silent, and during this time, the third call came in.
"Tell her that Shen Cheng is missing." Dr. Xiaoliang sighed.
The news of his disappearance was definitely better than directly telling them that Shen Cheng had fallen off a cliff.
Shao Silin nodded, picked up the phone and clicked the answer button.
The moment the call was connected, Lin Yuhui's anxious voice came: "Liusu, you finally answered the phone! Senior..."
"I'm Shao Silin. Liusu is busy and her phone is not with her."
Shao Silin forced himself to cheer up so that his voice wouldn't sound so low: "Please be mentally prepared for what I'm going to say next."
"Eh?" Lin Yuhui's expression froze on the other end of the line. She glanced at the women around her and carefully turned her face away so they couldn't see her expression. "What's wrong?"
"Boss Shen... is missing!" Shao Silin took a deep breath. "He disappeared while conducting an investigation in Kunlun Mountain. Our team from the Institute of Biological Sciences is already looking for him. Don't worry, Boss Shen will be fine."
When Lin Yuhui heard the news of Chen Cheng's disappearance, her head felt buzzing, and the uneasiness in her heart burst out. She became so confused that she didn't listen to what Shao Silin said later.
Senior... is missing?
How could this happen... He was fine last night...
And didn’t they say... that this mission was not dangerous?
"Oh... okay... I understand..." After coming to her senses, Lin Yuhui responded briefly and then hung up the phone silently.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuhui seemed as if her soul had been taken away. She stood there in a daze, as if she had not yet digested the news.
"Sister Huihui?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Lin Yuhui quickly put away her expression and put on a normal smile. She turned to the girls and said, "Senior, you're fine. You just had some tasks to do, so your phone is off."
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the girls, Lin Yuhui's smiling face, which she thought was normal, was full of incongruity.
"Sister Huihui, what's wrong with the master, meow..." Even Cheese could see that something was wrong. He saw her with her cat ears drooping, looking at Lin Yuhui with an uneasy face.
After looking into Cheese's eyes for a moment, Lin Yuhui gradually put away her smile, her expression quickly became gloomy, and her voice became a little hoarse.
"Senior... he's missing..."
…
"Huihui is a very optimistic and kind person..." As Shen Cheng talked, time unknowingly turned into night, and all the red fruits on the ground turned into fruit cores.
Huihui and the others should have finished get off work by now, right?
Seeing that the rescue team from the Institute of Biological Sciences had not arrived yet, Shen Cheng couldn't help but sigh, and felt a little anxious.
Maybe I'll make them worry again...
Feeling his sleeve being tugged, Shen Cheng turned his head and saw Xiaolu Niang blinking her eyes at him, as if wondering why he suddenly stopped talking.
"By the way, you don't have a name yet, right?" Shen Cheng suddenly said to Xiaolu Niang after remembering something.
The little deer girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"That's great!" Shen Cheng clapped his hands. Didn't this just point to his strengths?
Xiaolu Niang was startled at first, then blinked and looked at Shen Cheng.
"As for your name..." Chen Cheng pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the cliff that seemed to have no end.
After a moment, Shen Cheng whispered, "Let's call her Meng Nian..."
The thought of missing, or the thought of longing.
Hearing this, Little Deer Mother smiled and nodded, and it was obvious that she liked the name very much.
"You...can't speak?" Looking at Meng Nian's appearance, Shen Cheng asked doubtfully.
Chen Cheng discovered that Meng Nian seemed to have not said a word from beginning to end, and she didn't even make the "hmm" or "ah" sounds that Ying Yu made when he first met her.
It's like there's no vocal organ...
Meng Nian stared at Chen Cheng blankly for a moment, then shook her head.
Chen Cheng had a slight headache. After all, the rescue team didn't know when they would find him. Now he only had Meng Nian by his side. If Nian Nian couldn't speak, communication would be much more difficult.
He tried to teach Mengnian how to pronounce a few syllables, but Mengnian just tilted her head and looked at him.
In the end, Shen Cheng had no choice but to give up.
The sky was already covered with a layer of black cloth, and Shen Cheng had no tools to start a fire. The moon was blocked by the cliffs, and the grass was pitch black.
Chen Cheng had the night vision ability of Mao Huanya, so the black sky couldn't affect him, but the temperature inevitably dropped.
Looking at Meng Nian's thin dress, Shen Cheng thought for a moment, took off his coat, and put it on Meng Nian.
Meng Nian sniffed Shen Cheng’s coat and looked at him with some confusion.
"You are wearing such thin clothes, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Chen Cheng smiled, then lay down directly on the grass, using the ground as his bed and the sky as his blanket. He hoped that the rescue team would find him as soon as possible, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
Meng Nian, who was wearing Chen Cheng's coat, blinked, thought for a moment, lay down beside Chen Cheng, and fell asleep.
