She opened the door, and the whole room was cold and deserted, as if no one had lived there for a long time. She could also smell a faint, cold odor.
The bedding on the bed was still the same as it was before she left, without any change.
In other words, no one has lived here for a long time. At least, no one has lived here since she left. Zeng Xubai is a very clean person. Sheets and quilts are usually changed every three or four days at most. But now it has been almost half a month, why is it still the same as when she left?
Liu Liang walked over and picked up a pillow. There was a small stone inside the pillow. She found it by chance. Since it didn't affect anything, she never took it out. Now it is still here, which proves that it is still the same one and not replaced.
There wasn't much dust in the room. Although no one lived there, it was obvious that someone came to clean it regularly, and everything was kept in its original place without being moved much.
She took out her cell phone and called Zeng Xubai. At this time, no one knew that her fingers were trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?"
The line connected, and Zeng Xubai's usual relaxed voice came over. "How was your trip over there?"
"Not bad."
Liu Jing took a deep breath and tried her best to make her voice calmer.
"Then play for a few more days. It's not easy to go out once, so there's no need to rush back."
"Okay, I plan to stay for a few more days too. The snacks here are pretty good, I haven't had enough yet."
Liu Jing agreed, she walked to the bed with her cell phone and sat down.
"Brother Zeng, those trees are all growing well, right?"
She asked casually.
"very good."
Zeng Xubai responded, "I saw him not long ago. He's grown up quite fast."
"Have you been out lately?"
Liu Liang asked casually.
"No, I've been home all the time."
As soon as Zeng Xubai finished speaking, Liu Jing inexplicably felt a cold wind blowing straight towards her, instantly freezing her nerves.
Later she rambled on for a few more words, and she probably even forgot what she said afterwards.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Liang put the phone on the edge of the bed, feeling as if all the strength in her body was being drained.
Her brother Zeng lied to her. He was someone who never lied to her, but now he lied to her.
Something must have happened to him, but he chose to hide it from her.
Liu Liang knew Zeng Xubai's personality very well. If there were some things he didn't want to say, he would never say a word even if he was dying of depression. So Liu Liang didn't call him again to ask. It would be useless to ask. It would be better to ask someone else.
The person who has the best relationship with Zeng Xubai is Fang Yuan. The two grew up together. There is no reason that Fang Yuan doesn't know.
"Xu Bai..."
When Fang Yuan heard Zeng Xubai's name, he was stunned for a moment, then he said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with him? Nothing. He's just like you'd expect, going to work every day. Don't worry, he's very honest and won't do anything to let you down."
Fang Yuan was actually talking nonsense. Of course, the more he talked, the more guilty he felt. Fortunately, Liu Jing was not there at the moment, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to say these words.
And he didn't mean to lie to Liu Liang.
He couldn't say that he hadn't seen Zeng Xubai for a long time. Since he had a son, he seemed to care about nothing. He was with his son every day and even forgot to eat, let alone Zeng Xubai.
But he didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that Liu Liang would scold him for being heartless.
As for Zeng Xubai, he had no intention of looking for him as long as no one came.
Even the company's affairs were shamelessly thrown to others.
So now Liu Liang asked Zeng Xubai if anything happened, he really didn't know. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. What else could he say? But he didn't dare to say this to Liu Liang. He was afraid in case Liu Liang exploded.
Liu Liang didn't get any news from Fang Yuan. She sat on the bed, holding her cell phone with a gloomy face.
Something must have happened to Zeng Xubai, and it has been quite some time, but she has not noticed it. It is obvious that he seems to have been avoiding her recently and not letting her come back. Something must have happened.
Of course, it is definitely not the case that he found some mistresses for himself.
She absolutely believed that Zeng Xubai was not a man who would be bewitched by a vixen.
As for the reason that could make him wary and even hide from her and not let her know, it must not be a trivial matter.
Liu Liang stood up and prepared to go out to find Zeng Xubai, although she didn't know where he was now?
But there are always places to look, places she works, places she often goes to, and some people she knows. In short, she can get some information, which is better than just sitting here.
Liu Liang picked up her small bag from the table and put it on her back. She didn't even drink a sip of water and walked straight out.
The feeling of uneasiness in her heart has been tormenting her and making her unable to stay here for even a second.
When she reached the door, she lowered her head and looked at her empty hands.
Should she drive over? Otherwise, if she just walked, she wouldn't know how long she would reach the end. 'Just as she was about to go back to the car, her footsteps paused slightly, then turned in another direction and continued walking forward. She was not walking on the main road, but on a less traveled alley.
She rarely walks in this alley on weekdays. It is full of twists and turns. Although the road is easy to walk on, it is inconvenient to go anywhere. The only convenient place is probably for young couples. There are few people here and the road is long, making it an excellent place to talk about love.
Liu Jing continued to walk forward slowly. When she encountered small stones on the ground, she would kick them with her feet. She suddenly stopped and tied her shoelaces. Just when she was about to get up, a hand stretched out from somewhere and covered her mouth with a piece of cloth.
Before she could struggle, she was knocked unconscious.
With a bang, these people stuffed her into the car without any gentleness, just like throwing a sack, without caring whether she was in pain or not.
It's really rare to see someone robbed in broad daylight.
The car left here quickly, but there were still not many people coming to this alley. The sunlight half fell on the wall, still not bringing much warmth to the place.
Even the coldness seeped into the wall, making it icy to the touch.
Where the sun cannot penetrate, there are all kinds of darkness and... sin.
