There are desolate mountains and wilderness, and the Gobi Desert is endless everywhere. When driving on the road during the day, one always forgets that one is moving, as if one is always in the same place.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge. It is very hot during the day, and it is suddenly cold at night, so cold that you need to wear a cotton coat.

When I first arrived here, I couldn’t adapt to the climate at all.

The truck in front had already left, leaving only the three behind, which broke down one after another halfway.

"We don't know how long it will take to repair the car. I'm afraid it won't work tonight. Let's just rest for a night and wait for rescue tomorrow morning." The driver in front shouted, and the people who were still expecting, no matter how much they complained, it was useless.

Zhu Weidong looked at the moon in the distance and tightened his coat, which was the one Xiaoling brought for him when he went out.

At that time, he thought he would not need it, but he was reluctant to refuse his wife's kindness, so he carried it with him. He did not expect that he would need it at this time.

We had been riding in the car for the past few days and were already exhausted. After hearing that we could not stay where we were to rest, some of us said hello and went to the Gobi Desert below to find a sheltered place to sleep on the ground. Four or five of us could get together to keep warm.

As a result, there was only one woman left in the truck, and Zhu Weidong couldn't stay, so he followed them into the Gobi Desert.

Zhu Weidong doesn't usually hang out with others, and usually walks alone. He has a young assistant with him. The assistant went out to relieve himself first. When Zhu Weidong came down, the assistant had already found a seat and called Zhu Weidong over.

The young assistant is in his twenties and has just been working in the bureau for more than two years. He has been working beside Zhu Weidong. He has a simple personality, but is very smart and meticulous. Knowing that Zhu Weidong likes quietness, he found a sheltered place away from everyone else.

"Engineer Zhu, please take a rest here first. The terrain here is a bit lower. I just asked the driver for a blanket and some dry firewood."

"Xiao Li, you've worked hard." Zhu Weidong motioned for him to go to sleep first. He looked around and finally pointed to the distance, "I'm going to go to the bathroom."

There was a patch of tall grass over there. Many people had just gone there to relieve themselves. Now the surroundings had become quiet. Zhu Weidong thought that no one should be there, so he went over.

Xiao Li asked again if he wanted to go along, but Zhu Weidong refused.

The moon always looks extra big in the wilderness. Zhu Weidong walked to the bushes, but did not rush in. Instead, he looked up at the night sky, wanting to remember this beautiful moon in his heart, but he also felt sorry that his wife did not see it.

At this moment, a tiny sound rang in my ears.

Zhu Weidong thought it was just a wild animal, but soon he heard a woman's low voice and a man's laughter, and his brows furrowed.

The sound came from not far away. If you want, you can find it by following the sound.

Zhu Weidong was not a meddlesome person. He turned around and left without concealing the sound of his footsteps.

There were footsteps and the man and woman in the bushes suddenly disappeared. Zhu Weidong ignored it, but the next moment, the bushes behind him surged and the sound behind him became louder and louder. Zhu Weidong heard someone running towards him, but before he turned around, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards him, his head hurt, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

"What are you doing?" the woman exclaimed, and followed closely. In the moonlight, I could see his cheek clearly.

It was Lian Qizhen, and the man was Gu Baoshan.

"Let him go back. We can't keep our affairs secret." Gu Baoshan pursed his lips into a straight line and stared at Lian Qizhen sideways. "Or do you not care if others know?"

Lian Qizhen said nothing, holding up his clothes with his hands. After a long while, he said, "Go see who it is and see how he is doing."

Gu Baoshan walked over, turned the man over, and after seeing the person clearly on the ground, the two of them gasped.

"What should we do now?" Lian Qizhen's voice was trembling with fear.

And in his right hand he held a wooden stick, which was the murder weapon.

"What should we do? Let's call someone over." Lian Qizhen was so scared that she had no idea what to do.

Gu Baoshan's eyes shook, "No."

He turned around, his gaze not allowing Lian Qizhen to avoid him, "Call someone over here, we can't hide our affairs, not only will our jobs be ruined, but our reputations will also be hurt."

"So we're just going to leave it alone?"

"Throw him into the bushes, and let's go back together. He'll wake up tomorrow and go back on his own." Gu Baoshan paused, "No one noticed you when you came out, right?"

"The assistant is already asleep." Lian Qizhen's mind was in a mess, and she answered whatever Gu Baoshan asked. "It won't be a problem if we leave him here, right? What if there's a wild animal? What if someone dies?"

Gu Baoshan said in a cold voice, "It all depends on his luck. If he doesn't come earlier or later, but at this time, if anything happens, it's his own fault."

After saying this, he chuckled, "Or do you still have him in your heart? Don't forget that you have a bad reputation now, and you are being pointed at by others, all thanks to him."

"You think too much." Lian Qizhen didn't want to hear this, and her voice became a little colder, "I'm leaving first."

She glanced at the ground again and strode away.

Gu Baoshan stood where he was, watching Lian Qizhen leave. Only after the figure disappeared into the darkness did he return his gaze to Zhu Weidong lying on the ground.

A sinister look flashed in his eyes. Half an hour later, Gu Baoshan returned to the crowd without disturbing anyone.

On the other side, after Xiao Li lay down, he did not fall asleep immediately. He waited for a long time but did not see Engineer Zhu come back, and he felt a little worried.

It was quiet all around and he didn't know who to look for. He was so sleepy that he kept nodding his head and didn't dare to go to sleep.

The sky was getting light, but the man still hadn't come back. He still hoped that the man had gone to sleep somewhere else, but then he thought he was wrong, because Engineer Zhu didn't like to be in crowded places.

After he could see clearly all around, Xiao Li suddenly became alert. He stood up quietly and looked around the place where the crowd was resting. After searching everywhere, he still didn't see anyone.

Xiao Li was panicking now.

He hurried to the driver's side. The driver was in the cab. After being woken up by Xiao Li, he heard that Engineer Zhu was lost. He no longer felt sleepy and his eyes widened.

"Director Wang is in the car ahead. You go over there now and report the situation. I'll go look for him over here." The driver didn't dare to delay and complained to Xiao Li why he came to look for him only after daybreak.

Xiao Li also regretted it, and did not dare to complain at all, and ran forward quickly.

The three cars were not far away, but not close either. It was just dawn, and the noise from Xiao Li's side still woke up some people.

The driver ignored those people, went over and called everyone over, and told them about Zhu Weidong's disappearance.

The head of the project engineering department was now missing, and everyone was panicking. They shouted one by one, and when they gathered together and didn't find Zhu Weidong, they dispersed to look for him everywhere.

Lian Qizhen's clothes were too tight, and Xiaozhuli looked worried, "Engineer Lian, your face is so pale, if you are not feeling well, take a rest first, we will go find someone."
