Xiao Ye followed Cheng Cheng into the house.
The house was decorated in a very cozy style.
When the lights are turned on, they emit a warm, yellow light.
It's a small place, but it's full of life.
Cheng Cheng sat down to greet Xiao Ye. Not wanting to be direct, she could only say indirectly, "Why don't you rest for a bit? I'll get you a glass of water."
Without waiting for Xiao Ye's reaction, he took a cup from the cabinet and washed it.
After washing up, Cheng Cheng was still in the kitchen, pouring water as she said, "A-Ye, the room next door isn't cleaned yet. Why don't you sleep in the same room as me? You can bring your things in too."
"Um."
After sending Xiao Ye away, Cheng Cheng was extremely anxious and made a phone call to Mr. Cheng and Ms. Sun.
As soon as the group call connected, Cheng Cheng said anxiously, "Mom and Dad, A-Ye is back! What should I do? What should I say?"
“Tell me the truth,” Mr. Cheng said earnestly.
Ms. Sun, who was standing next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can you tell the truth? How heartbroken A-Ye would be if he knew!"
“We can’t keep it from him anymore. He’ll find out sooner or later, otherwise how will you explain their disappearance?” Mr. Cheng looked at Ms. Sun helplessly.
Ms. Sun was conflicted and didn't know how to say it.
This happened very suddenly, and they were all caught off guard. They never gave up searching for them all these years.
Cheng Cheng listened to them talk for a while but still couldn't make up her mind. She could only sigh and say, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell you the truth."
Just as Cheng Cheng hung up the phone, staring blankly at his phone, Xiao Ye's voice came from behind him: "What are you doing?"
"Ah!" Cheng Cheng was startled, and her phone almost flew out of her hand.
He quickly grabbed his phone, then turned back and glared at Xiao Ye, still shaken: "Why are you scaring me?"
"No, I just wanted to call you." Xiao Ye paused, glancing at him suspiciously as he looked furtively.
Cheng Cheng coughed twice, put away her phone, stood up and pretended to be calm as she took out a cup and filled it with water: "Let's go, let's go outside and sit down."
After sitting down, Cheng Cheng didn't speak.
Xiao Ye, on the other hand, took a sip of water and asked, "Can you tell me about my family situation?"
Cheng Cheng was still lost in thought and did not answer Xiao Ye's question.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye called out again, "Acheng, answer me."
“Ah Ye…” Cheng Cheng had just started speaking when he met Xiao Ye’s sharp eyes.
Cheng Cheng pursed her lips, knowing she couldn't avoid it anymore.
He could only honestly say, "Aye, you must hold on."
"This is what happened..."
Seeing Cheng Cheng's evasive manner, Xiao Ye knew that the matter was very serious.
He frowned slightly as he listened to Cheng Cheng's explanation.
This incident likely occurred when Xiao Ye was working undercover.
Then something really outrageous happened.
The Wen family's main house suddenly sank and disappeared.
Xiao Ye's father had some connections with people at the Wen family's main residence, and the area happened to be within his jurisdiction, so he went to investigate.
During the investigation, Xiao Ye's father disappeared.
Before he disappeared, it is unknown what message he sent to Ms. Zhou.
After receiving the message, Ms. Zhou didn't say a word, packed her things and went with them.
As a result, both of them disappeared.
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any information.
To avoid distracting Xiao Ye, the people above did not tell him about this matter.
They've been searching for over two years now.
"They just disappeared?" Xiao Ye frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
A short while later, he clenched his fist and looked at Cheng Cheng beside him: "Not a single piece of news?"
No news.
Cheng Cheng said helplessly, "They have indeed disappeared. We haven't been able to find any trace of them, and we can't find any trace of the buildings in the sunken area of the Wen family's main residence."
It felt like falling into a black hole.
If it weren't for the huge pit on the ground indicating that something once existed here, no one would guess that this was once the main residence of the Wen family.
Xiao Ye's father and mother disappeared without a trace, having obtained some clues.
The police sent a lot of people, but they found nothing.
Cheng Cheng told Xiao Ye the whole story, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Ye, I didn't mean to keep it from you. I was just afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it."
After working so hard away from home for so many years, I still don't have a home to return to.
How could I not feel bad?
Seeing Cheng Cheng's guilty expression, Xiao Ye comforted her, "It's okay, don't be like this, it's not your fault."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ye asked again, "By the way, Cheng, do you know the address of the Wen family's old house? What's the situation there now? Do you have any information?"
Cheng Cheng immediately understood Xiao Ye's plan.
He nodded and said, "I've also been to the Wen family's old house and look for it; I even have the address."
Ah Ye, don't rush. Let me finish filming my scenes, and then we'll go look for it together, okay?
Judging from Xiao Ye's expression, Cheng Cheng knew that he was in a bad mood.
Fearing he might do something rash, Cheng Cheng could only quickly try to dissuade him.
"good."
Xiao Ye couldn't bear to see Cheng Cheng so worried about him, so he could only nod and agree: "Then I'll take a look at the information and make a plan."
"Okay, I'll send you the information in a bit." Cheng Cheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He handed the blanket to Xiao Ye, patted his flat stomach, and said, "Xiao Ye, I'm hungry. Shall we order takeout and eat together tonight?"
After cautiously glancing at Xiao Ye's expression and confirming that he hadn't changed much, Cheng Cheng asked again, "Or if you'd like, could we go out to eat?"
Xiao Ye did not speak.
“Say something,” Cheng Cheng nudged Xiao Ye.
After glancing at Cheng Cheng, Xiao Ye said, "Let's go out to eat."
He had originally planned to cook.
But I'm in a bad mood right now, so I think it's better to go out.
"Okay, I'll go remove my makeup first." Cheng Cheng hurriedly ran inside.
Xiao Ye was waiting at the door.
The two quickly went out for a meal.
After returning, Xiao Ye went to Cheng Cheng's room and used his computer to look up information.
There is absolutely no information about the key data.
What intrigued everyone most was what message Ms. Zhou received that allowed her to leave and disappear into the pit despite the vigilance of so many people.
Xiao Ye read through the information from beginning to end, but still found nothing.
"Ah Ye, you must be tired after coming back. You should rest first," Cheng Cheng advised when she saw this.
Xiao Ye nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Xiao Ye packed everything away, lay down on the bed, and went to sleep.
Not long after, Cheng Cheng also lay back down.
"A-Ye, A-Ye," Cheng Cheng called out several times, but Xiao Ye did not respond.
He turned on the light and saw Xiao Ye's resolute face.
At this moment, Xiao Ye's eyes were closed, his breathing was even, and he had fallen asleep.
"Ah Ye!" Cheng Cheng called out a few more times, still worried, and found that Xiao Ye was indeed asleep.
He then turned off the light, lay down comfortably, and began to sleep.
About ten minutes later, Cheng Cheng fell into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, Xiao Ye opened his eyes...
