"Can I call other people?" Jiang Ning asked, and then used Grandpa Jiang's WeChat account to call her.
soon.
Jiang Ning's cell phone rang in the air.
Jiang Ning hung up the video call and looked at Grandpa Jiang, "Grandpa, your phone is fine. Is Grandpa Zhou's phone broken?"
Grandpa Jiang shook his head. "I don't know either! Logically speaking, if his phone really was broken, it should have been fixed by now, after all this time! Even if he got a new phone, he shouldn't have changed his WeChat account."
At this point, Grandpa Jiang frowned slightly and voiced his doubts, "Ningning, do you think Old Zhou has run into some trouble?"
Grandpa Jiang met Zhou Jinpeng as soon as he arrived in City A.
The two got along very well when they shared an apartment; although they weren't brothers, they were closer than many blood brothers.
Now that Zhou Jinpeng has gone missing, Grandpa Jiang is truly very worried.
Jiang Ning raised her hand to press her temples and suggested, "Grandpa, how about this? I still have ten days before school starts. Why don't I accompany you to Grandpa Zhou's hometown during these ten days before school starts? You promised Grandpa Zhou that you would visit him in his hometown, didn't you?"
If she waits until Jiang Ning starts school, she won't have time.
Grandpa Jiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, let's make a trip tomorrow."
He would only feel at ease if he went to see for himself.
So the next day, Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang boarded a plane to Sichuan.
After a two-and-a-half-hour flight, the plane landed safely at Chuanshi Airport.
However, Zhou Jinpeng did not live in Sichuan City. His hometown was in a township under Sichuan City. Jiang Ning had arranged a car in advance. After the grandfather and grandson got off the plane, they took a private car to Zhou Jinpeng's hometown.
The scenery outside the window was beautiful, but Grandpa Jiang had no time to appreciate it.
He always felt that something had happened to Zhou Jinpeng.
Sometimes having too much money isn't a good thing.
After a two-hour drive, we finally arrived at Zhou Jinpeng's hometown.
Because Zhou Jinpeng had previously told Grandpa Jiang Zhou Changyu's address, with the help of nearby villagers, Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang found Zhou Changyu's home.
But Zhou Changyu's front door was closed.
Grandpa Jiang went over and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
A neighbor who lives next door came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Ning said, "We've come to find Zhou Changyu."
The neighbor continued, "Zhou Changyu? Zhou Changyu made a fortune recently and took his wife and kids on a trip abroad. He hasn't been home lately!"
Traveling abroad?
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang immediately asked, "Did Old Zhou go too? I mean, Zhou Jinpeng?"
"Zhou Jinpeng?" The neighbor thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you looking for Zhou Changyu's uncle?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Grandpa Jiang nodded immediately.
The neighbor continued, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time! He must have gone abroad with his family."
After saying that, the neighbor turned and went back inside.
Grandpa Jiang frowned deeply. "Impossible. Old Zhou couldn't have gone abroad! If he really went abroad for tourism, he would definitely send me a message. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like Old Zhou."
Jiang Ning thought Grandpa Jiang's words made a lot of sense. "Grandpa, don't worry. Let's look around the neighborhood this afternoon and ask around. Maybe we can find some clues."
Now that we're here, we can't just go back like this.
Grandpa Jiang nodded.
But in the afternoon, the grandfather and grandson walked around the village for a long time and only learned that Zhou Jinpeng's four nephews were not in their hometown. As for where Zhou Jinpeng went, no one knew and no one saw him.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Ning and Grandpa Jiang had to return to town and find a hotel to stay in.
The accommodations in the town were only so-so, but Jiang Ning was never one to be picky, so she asked for two rooms.
The driver is a local, so there's no need to book a room.
After booking the room, on the driver's recommendation, Jiang Ning planned to take Grandpa Jiang to try some local specialties.
Just as they arrived at the restaurant entrance, Jiang Ning's gaze was suddenly drawn to a figure standing next to a trash can.
The other person was hunched over, rummaging through a trash can next to the restaurant.
It was the height of summer.
As he flipped through the trash can, flies and mosquitoes kept flying out.
Although the distance was quite far and the other person was even wearing a mask, Jiang Ning still felt that the other person was somewhat familiar.
"Ningning, what are you looking at?" Grandpa Jiang stopped and turned to look at Jiang Ning, asking curiously.
Jiang Ning's gaze remained fixed on the figure rummaging through the trash can, and she called out, "Grandpa Zhou?"
