Chapter 649: Confusion (56)
Knowing that there will be no results.
Qiao Xi still sent a message to Zhi Liao.
(Did you do this?)
She had been asking Zhiliao this question since she called the police yesterday, but she hadn't received a response until the next day. She shouldn't have held out hope, but she had to give it a try.
As expected.
Still no response.
The police agreed to send someone to protect her, and in the next few days, Qiao Xi was indeed receiving protection.
It's as if nothing happened.
Calm sea.
Those who first discovered the murder scene met with a psychologist and received some counseling. It must be said that it was indeed effective.
Nan Xiangzhu was much more relaxed than before.
However, when recalling the world behind the door he had just seen, Nan Xiangzhu fell silent for a moment.
After all, he is needed to provide clues.
He was the first one to open the door.
He told every detail he could think of and noticed, but... the triggered memories lingered in his mind.
He didn't think much about it at that time.
Holding Qiao Xi's hand, subconsciously, after seeing that scene, the first moment he reacted was to hug Qiao Xi tightly, hold the girl's head, let her lean on his arms, and not look.
The thoughts at that time.
He was actually worried... Qiao Xi would be scared to death when she saw this kind of thing.
If it were Gan Youmeng.
After seeing that scene, she probably still hasn't recovered until now and still needs his company and comfort. Because Gan Youmeng is much more timid and naive.
But Qiao Xi still exceeded his expectations.
Unexpectedly, the person who was calmer than him was Qiao Xi in his arms.
The woman called the police.
He narrated the incident in a calm tone, explaining the details of the process. After giving the address, he waited with them there for the police to arrive.
During this period.
The photographer carrying the equipment was the most mentally broken. He sat on the ground with weak legs and trembling. It was obvious that he was very frightened and could not calm down at all.
Nan Xiangzhu wanted to calm the other party down.
However, the other person was already in a state of extreme fear and was unable to communicate at all. Finally, this person passed out from shock and was taken away by the police and the accompanying medical staff.
At that time.
Qiao Xi is very quiet.
Nan Xiangzhu even felt that she was unnaturally quiet and behaved too calmly. He wanted to ask Qiao Xi why she wasn't afraid, why she could still be so indifferent.
But he didn't ask.
Instead, Qiao Xi seemed to see through his thoughts. She smiled at him and said, "Is it terrible? Is there anything more terrifying than the human heart? Have you ever seen a deeper hell? Have you ever been so scared that your life is threatened, that you walk on the edge of a knife every day, abandoning your self-respect and begging for mercy, living in fear?"
No.
It goes without saying that Nan Xiangzhu had the answer in an instant.
He didn't understand why Qiao Xi asked him these questions, but when the girl talked about these things, her expression was so cold, as if she had lost all emotions and was soulless.
Occasionally revealed from those clear eyes.
Emotions like memories.
All of them were covered by more sharpness and coldness. It seemed that there was some unknown secret buried in her. Nan Xiangzhu was not clear about her past. He only knew that the news said that she had been kidnapped.
Kidnapped abroad.
So, that must be something she encountered abroad.
He couldn't imagine what Qiao Xi had gone through.
He couldn't imagine the pain of others, nor could he empathize with them. However, when Qiao Xi said, "In some places, human life is the least valuable thing," his heartstrings were inevitably touched.
Why can you use such a cold expression?
Saying such words without any care, showing disregard for life?
Every life should be respected.
It is also the thing that should not be trampled upon, but what is the reason that can make her say such words with the attitude of an indifferent bystander?
He thought.
He will never know. There is always a mysterious part of Qiao Xi that he can never touch or explore in his lifetime.
I just had this feeling for no reason.
He couldn't see the man clearly.
Just like Nan Xiangzhu couldn't clearly see his feelings for her, he didn't know what kind of emotion it was and had never figured it out. It was very complicated.
Do you like it?
no.
But if not, why would he naturally hold Qiao Xi's hand when going upstairs because he was worried about her?
If not...
Why, when encountering such a thing, the first subconscious reaction is to be nervous, worried that Qiao Xi would be frightened when seeing that scene?
He doesn't know.
It's hard to explain this complex feeling with a protective desire.
Even Nan Xiangzhu himself doesn't understand it now.
What exactly is he to Qiao Xi, or what kind of existence is Qiao Xi to him in his heart.
Just a fiancée in name only?
No……
In fact, even he himself was very clear that this nominal relationship had completely disappeared as early as when Qiao Xi chose to give up his identity and leave the Xi family.
They are nothing.
Just friends who hate each other.
But it’s not that they hate each other now. He doesn’t have any aversion to Qiao Xi. On the contrary, the girl is still lukewarm towards him and still seems reluctant to get close to him.
Then change it.
He has a friend who hates him and doesn't consider him a friend.
After thinking about this kind of relationship, Nan Xiangzhu himself found it a little funny. But it was the most appropriate way to describe him and Qiao Xi.
They disagree on many things.
The two's initial acquaintance was also full of conflicts, and there were few times of peace.
However, in this matter.
The only thing they didn't mention was that this was their last bit of tacit understanding. Qiao Xi didn't explore his attitude towards her after seeing that scene, nor did he ask what Qiao Xi had experienced.
sometimes.
This friend of his who hated him actually understood him quite well.
The two haven't seen each other much in the past few days. They only met when the program crew gathered together for dinner. Apart from that, Nan Xiangzhu has never seen Qiao Xi in his private time.
At such a sensitive moment.
It really makes people feel bad.
Nan Xiangzhu passed through the hall of a public place and heard several familiar voices. He also took a look over there.
They are Yu Zhi and Gan Youmeng.
Yu Zhi had just taken out a bottle of sports drink from the vending machine, while Gan Youmeng next to him was holding a glass of juice in her hand, smiling and talking to the man about something.
The two looked very close.
Just like a couple in love.
But Nan Xiangzhu, who had been in such a relationship, knew how hypocritical it was. He felt it was a bit ironic and turned away without looking at it any further.
However.
Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, followed by another slightly familiar voice.
He looked back.
"Qiao Xi! Is Qiao Xi here?"
The police officer who had questioned him was now in plain clothes and was anxiously looking for something with several colleagues.
“No.”
Yu Zhi, who happened to be standing next to the vending machine, heard this and took the opportunity to speak.
Gan Youmeng next to him was a little confused.
"What's wrong? If you want to find Qiao Xi, just go to her room and find her."
Except for meal times.
Qiao Xi basically never left her room, and they just thought they were witnessing a bloody scene. Qiao Xi didn't react, so she temporarily isolated herself.
They were thinking about it too.
I wanted to let Qiao Xi be quiet for a while and sort out her mood, so I didn’t disturb her.
Anyway, girls will show up on time at mealtime.
But the moment Nan Xiangzhu saw them appear and noticed their anxious expressions, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart, like some kind of sign.
Once that premonition arises.
It began to spread until it occupied his entire mind.
Outside the hotel, the sky, already shrouded in darkness, was overcast. Thick, gray clouds brewed the prospect of a rainstorm. The small town, weighed down by the dark clouds, was shrouded in the infinite terror that preceded the onset of a storm.
Silence is spreading.
The chaotic footsteps faded away, and the anxious shouts of those searching for someone gradually died down.
Until they were long gone.
Nan Xiangzhu's fingers moved, and he subconsciously reached for the phone in his pocket. Without even noticing, his hands were trembling slightly as he frantically swiped open the message box.
Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi...
I clicked on it, typed, my hands shaking uncontrollably. Then, I sent it.
One second, two seconds...
One minute, two minutes... no reply, no message. This was normal under normal circumstances, but if he sent Qiao Xi something important, most girls would reply immediately.
But now there is no news.
Where did she go?
Nan Xiangzhu instinctively looked out the window, while Yu Zhi, who had already opened the ring of his Coke can, took a sip. The lifted can also took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the cold emotion that was spreading in the man's eyes.
Kidnapped?
Yu Zhi probably knew who it was. It must be the person who wanted to kill him that Qiao Xi mentioned when they met him before.
He thought that at least he would die before Qiao Xi.
After all, the person whose identity he didn't know seemed to care a lot about Qiao Xi, so no matter what the other party said, he would probably find a way to eliminate the people around Qiao Xi.
But I didn’t expect…
That person actually attacked Qiao Xi directly.
Or, does she want him dead as well as Qiao Xi? This possessiveness is so morbid that it's terrifying, like a final deadline.
Qiao Xi did not make a choice.
Then, the man's patience ran out, so he took action. Without anyone seeing or even noticing, a hand silently reached out and took the man away.
Such means were not noticed by anyone.
It wasn't until Qiao Xi couldn't get in touch that they discovered how far that person had penetrated the forces here. I'm afraid it must be an unimaginably large intelligence network.
Yu Zhi was thinking about these things, and a hint of darkness flashed across the gleam in his eyes.
Gan Youmeng next to him was completely unaware.
He didn't even realize how special Qiao Xi was in this matter.
They didn't make it public, but those inside knew that those people's purpose was to retaliate against Qiao Xi, in order to retaliate against them. Therefore, the first target to be protected was Qiao Xi.
But now...
People disappeared right under their noses, without anyone noticing.
Where did you go?
No one could give an answer. Everyone had different thoughts. The atmosphere, which had been slightly relaxed, became panic-stricken again because of Qiao Xi's sudden disappearance, and the air was filled with tension.
Heavy rain was mixed with thunder.
The roaring sound tore the clouds apart, and the streaking lightning illuminated the sky like daylight in an instant.
A dull and surprised atmosphere lingered.
When Qiao Xi regained consciousness, her limbs were extremely weak and she could not use any strength. However, the steady footsteps she was familiar with seemed to be gradually approaching from a distance.
until--
Stop beside her.
Qiao Xi forced herself to wake up and slowly opened her eyes. It seemed as if she had been drugged, leaving her completely powerless. Her vision was still hazy, and she seemed to be unable to adjust to the surrounding light quickly.
But even so.
It was also enough for her to see the people around her clearly.
The man in a suit had a calm expression as he wiped the marks on his slender fingers with a white handkerchief. His movements were slow and elegant, like a nobleman appreciating a work of art.
Noticing Qiao Xi's gaze.
He also cast a look, as if giving alms to a pitiful person, an indifferent and superior look, deep and dark, without any waves.
"woke up."
The two words that came out calmly from the man's thin lips, not knowing if it was Qiao Xi's illusion, actually felt a rare hint of satisfaction.
But his voice was still cold.
Like a dark deep sea, it reaches deep into people's hearts and brings endless fear.
The smell of blood that permeated the surroundings seemed to become even stronger.
Along with it came the smell of gunpowder.
Because of this body, Qiao Xi's senses are better than those of ordinary people. Naturally, she is very sensitive to the difference in taste, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
And now.
The smell of blood that permeated Zhi Liao's body was so strong that it was outrageous.
He was like a blood-soaked demon walking out of purgatory, using extremely cruel and violent methods to seek supreme pleasure for himself.
Suddenly, a pain came from my wrist.
It was Zhi Liao who pulled her up. The man stared at her with his deep, dark eyes and let Qiao Xi, whose limbs were weak, lean in his arms.
The force was so strong that it hurt Qiao Xisheng.
It was as if even the bones were about to break, causing Qiao Xi's bright and clear eyes to be involuntarily covered with a layer of mist.
The tip of my nose felt sore.
Her emotions seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment, tears welling up in Qiao Xi's eyes. Her beautiful eyes, as clear as glass, were also stained with an imperceptible panic at this moment, but even so.
She asked anyway.
With a trembling voice, he forced himself to sound normal, suppressing his fear.
"Did you... kill someone?"
Is that person your masterpiece?
Was the gift mentioned in the message really for her? There were so many questions she wanted to ask. In fact, the answers had already surfaced the moment she met this person, but she still couldn't help asking.
The fear that hangs over the town is him.
He is the one who can manipulate and fool everyone.
In his eyes, those seemingly perfect protections could be easily destroyed at any time, just a word from him.
He gave Qiao Xi a chance.
I gave her many choices and opportunities to turn back.
But Qiao Xi always chose other men. When he asked her whether she should tell Yu Zhi and let her choose, she left and told Yu Zhi anyway.
Qiao Xi's partiality.
Qiao Xi's flirtations with him and her feelings for him had always been fake. Zhi Liao knew she was a complete liar. Yet, he still wanted to have that one moment, to receive some favor from this liar.
Favoritism in front of others.
It's not just a preference that's shown in front of him.
Unfortunately, the ideal ending often doesn't go as he wishes. This is also the only emotion he can't control. The more he can't get it, the more he wants to confirm what Qiao Xi's purpose is in staying by his side.
He knows.
But even so, Qiao Xi, who chose to approach him after knowing his true identity, should pay the price for her choice.
He has never been a soft-hearted person.
Once he decides that something is his, he will eliminate all the unstable factors in order to ensure ownership.
He was waiting for Qiao Xi to tell Yu Zhi and then come back to him.
But no.
As the day passed, Qiao Xi would only think of him when something happened or when she needed him.
Talking about provoking his woman.
She still had no self-awareness, so Zhi Liao had no choice but to come and pick her up in person and bring her to the devil.
There was no answer to her question.
The man's slender hand hooked Qiao Xi's chin and leaned down to kiss her lips. The girl's cold lips were invaded by him, and the inadvertent collision of lips and teeth did not bring the sweet feelings like before.
He is verifying and identifying.
The man's big hand passed through Qiao Xi's fingers and interlocked with hers. It enveloped Qiao Xi, wrapped her up, and conveyed warmth.
But this hand.
A second ago, it was stained with blood, and that blood had just been wiped away by him with a clean white handkerchief.
What is she doing?
She is fighting with the culprit...
Even if he knew, he couldn't resist. Zhi Liao had too many infiltrating forces. It was so complex and intricate that it couldn't shake his foundation. Those who opposed him were dead, and those who wanted to arrest him would never return.
Because there is not enough evidence.
There was no evidence pointing to his guilt, or to Zhi Liao himself.
It also allows this demon to always live in the light, where everyone can see and touch it. By bypassing layers of relationships, he can arbitrarily deprive someone of their right to life or death.
The truth will never be revealed to him.
Is this power?
The supreme power, which covers everything in one hand, makes everyone afraid.
So what could be a breakthrough?
When faced with such a person, without any evidence, how could he be charged with a crime? At least he could expose Zhi Liao and have direct contact with him.
Is there?
There is no need to think about the answer. It comes to mind the moment the thought comes to mind.
It's her.
It’s Qiao Xi who is now missing.
All clues point to Qiao Xi as their target. They want revenge for her stabbing of foreign forces. She disappeared despite the strict protection of the police. Only the culprit could do this quietly.
It is also Zhi Liao's only flaw.
Why take the risk at this juncture?
This was more like a blatant provocation. He was enjoying this farce behind the scenes in the audience and admiring the way everyone was doing their best to find him.
The entangled soft lips and teeth exchanged each other's breath deeply.
Such an action should be sweet and happy, but Qiao Xi was like a person about to drown, her heart kept tightening and aching, and her vision became increasingly blurred.
Zhi Liao raised his eyes inadvertently.
He stumbled upon a tear sliding down Qiao Xi's eye, and his movements paused at this moment. Every time he finished his work, the intense excitement brought by depriving people of life and death kept urging him on, and he couldn't calm down at all.
The more so.
The more he wanted to get Qiao Xi.
It was as if he was driven by something, wanting to pursue physical decadence and indulgence without restraint. By now, his first choice had unknowingly become Qiao Xi.
Beneath the glamorous appearance.
The base human nature and the most primitive greed and desire were clearly visible. Contrary to Zhi Liao's indifferent appearance, his body was burning hot and the temperature was constantly rising.
The originally indifferent man began breathing slightly heavier.
Qiao Xi, with tearful eyes, looked at him like this, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind. She took the initiative to reach out and push the noble and arrogant man down, kissed his lips, and let him fall into lust.
To get what you want.
What bargaining chip did she have? Perhaps it was only this body that interested Zhi Liao. Apart from that, she was nothing. So all she could do was try her best to make Zhi Liao more interested in her.
To her, addiction.
Until I can no longer let go.
This was undoubtedly a despicable and despicable act, and no one would treat someone who sold their body with kindness. This cheap, despised selling of one's body could, however, provide a moment of respite for the town currently shrouded in gloom.
It was like someone was playing a bad and vulgar joke on me.
Even life and death are controlled by people they have never met, and the people living here are completely unaware of it, unaware of the huge web that surrounds them.
The rain continues to pour down.
The rain outside the car window kept hitting the window, making a chaotic and harsh sound. Zhi Liao, who had already straightened his clothes, glanced sideways at the woman lying curled up in his lap, sleeping soundly.
Qiao Xi.
Two hours ago, he took Qiao Xi into the car and destroyed her cell phone. Since then, Qiao Xi has completely cut off contact with the outside world and has been by his side.
The man looked at her quietly with his deep eyes.
There seemed to be some subtle emotions in the depths of Zhi Liao's eyes. The noisy rainstorm outside the car window did not deprive him of his thoughts. He knew better than ever what to do at each step and how to advance the plan.
Getting Qiao Xi is one of the links.
But he didn't expect that he would feel some strange emotions inadvertently.
Zhi Liao hates unexpected things happening.
For someone as meticulous and well-planned as him, all uncontrollable factors were things he should try to avoid and eliminate. However, right now, no one had told him how to eliminate the tenderness that was overflowing from his heart.
It's funny.
Even though he was like this, he actually felt a sense of security because he had Qiao Xi and had Qiao Xi by his side, where he could reach her at any time.
This has never happened before.
He didn't care where he lived or where he stayed. But now, with Qiao Xi by his side, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction and stability.
What is this?
He finally looked a bit like a human being, something called a weakness?
It was different from the countless times he had acted like he cared about Gan Youmeng and valued her, but in reality, he had no real feelings and no actions. No matter how many times he emphasized it, he never cared.
Qiao Xi was someone he didn't deliberately emphasize how much he cared about.
However, Zhi Liao would think of her when he occasionally had free time.
After completing a transaction, looking at his temporary residence and the empty space around him, he would occasionally think of her sleeping beside him in the villa.
I will also remember it.
When he went back home late at night, he couldn't find her, and she was sleeping in his bed.
He did not reject this kind of life where Qiao Xi was waiting for him to come back and where Qiao Xi was by his side.
He doesn't care even if Qiao Xi is involved with someone else.
As long as she finally chose him as her destination, it would be enough. However, all signs showed that he actually cared and would be jealous of everything that happened around Qiao Xi like an ordinary man.
Zhi Liao looked at the rain outside the window.
"Hmm..." A low moan interrupted his thoughts, which seemed particularly unreal in the pouring rain, but Zhi Liao still caught the sound.
The moment Zhi Liao lowered his head to look at her, their eyes met.
Qiao Xi, who had just woken up, was also obviously stunned.
However, the girl reacted and realized that she was lying on the man's legs. She was still a little lazy and didn't want to get up so quickly, so she took Zhi Liao's warm hand and rubbed it against her cheek.
I can no longer smell the blood.
Just a clean and refreshing light shower gel scent.
After doing that, Zhi Liao should have carried the unconscious girl to take a shower, after all, she had changed her clothes.
But this time is different from before.
Qiao Xi found that she had no new injuries, which meant that Zhi Liao had not attacked her as usual. Noticing this change in the man, an idea emerged in Qiao Xi's mind.
Those who are favored are always fearless.
Now, can she try to verify this point on Zhi Liao?
There are always people who have no choice.
You have to hurt yourself to get redemption, but that's reality.
Things went against her wishes. She was gambling on Zhi Liao being able to fall in love with her, and Qiao Xi being able to feel a little special towards her. Wasn't that like playing with her life?
Who won their bet?
It's still a little early to draw conclusions if you ask this question at this time. But this is not enough, it can't be defined as love yet. Qiao Xi still needs some time to confirm it.
so.
She rubbed the man's hand, and when she looked up at Zhi Liao who was looking at her deeply, she also smiled with her lips curved.
"What's the situation with the others now?"
Zhi Liao said that she wanted to know the current situation of those people who had some contact with her.
"Which one are you asking about?"
As she expected, the man lowered his eyes and looked at her, his gaze becoming a little colder. It was as if he had been touched at this moment, but he still spent his remaining patience on Qiao Xi.
"Yan Liang."
Qiao Xi said this.
She was also thinking in a daze. After knowing that Yan Liang was fighting against the Yan family and the Xi family, even though she knew that the future outcome would not change, she still wanted to hear the confirmed answer from Zhi Liao in person.
That person Yan Liang...
She won't feel at ease until the country is completely overthrown.
"The situation is hopeless. Although there are directors who support him, after the Yan and Xi families joined forces, such pressure is simply not something they can withstand. A decisive project was also taken over by the Yan family, becoming their trump card and the final blow to him."
Zhi Liao replied.
When the business news came out, it was the eldest son of the Yan family, smiling, attending the launch ceremony of an event, but Yan Liang was nowhere to be seen.
And this project.
Previously, Yan Liang, who was in charge of the Yan Group, had been responsible for following up. Now the person who appeared there was the eldest son of the Yan family. The result was already known without having to guess.
The internal strife within the Yan family.
The remaining winner was still the Yan family, with its profound background. They also announced a partnership with the Xi family for this project.
The two companies have joined together.
If their project can be carried out smoothly, the Yan family and the Xi family will join hands to divide this half of the country, and they will be unstoppable.
This situation.
Is this what Zhi Liao wants to see? To see the Gu family gaining power and leading the future changes?
Qiao Xi thought, that’s definitely not the case.
Zhi Liao naturally would not allow the Yan family and the Xi family to unite. It was such a project that maintained the cooperation between the two families, and Zhi Liao was a prince who was well-connected in both the black and white worlds.
He naturally has his own connections and strength in the business world.
It is absolutely impossible to watch the Yan family and the Xi family dominate.
So what will he do?
Now, people are divided into three camps around that project. Although Qiao Xi is not interested in that kind of news, she is the only daughter of the former Xi family, so naturally she has to pay attention to current affairs.
The one with the greatest power to break the alliance between the Yan and Xi families.
They are the other two ancient families.
The Yu family and the Zhang family.
If these two companies can reach some kind of cooperation and join together, there will be a trend to break the current monopoly situation.
It’s a pity that the relationship between the two families is not very good.
The eldest son of the Yu family is marrying the daughter of a political tycoon. The combination of business and politics is undoubtedly eye-catching.
Although the Zhang family is more low-key.
But he is not a pushover. I heard that Young Master Zhang is in love with the daughter of an oil field tycoon. They have already made an engagement and marriage is a foregone conclusion.
As for the eldest daughter of the Zhang family who is now the president, she is also taking this opportunity to increase the influence of the Zhang family.
None of them are easy to deal with.
If he were to come out in the open, how would Zhi Liao appear and how would he get a share of the spoils of the chaotic battlefield?
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him.
She knew Zhi Liao's intelligence network was extensive, and his connections were not to be neglected. Having swallowed up most of the remaining items, he must have known many powerful individuals.
If he wants to muddy the waters.
This city is destined to never be peaceful.
Qiao Xi was taken abroad by Zhi Liao, and her current status in China is missing. And Zhi Liao, probably not the first time to do this, gave her a brand new identity.
This time.
It also gave Qiao Xi a new understanding of Zhi Liao's power, that he could cover the sky with one hand and even secretly change a person's life.
She is still Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi has the same name and surname, but her identity has changed drastically. She is the daughter of a deceased North American Chinese artist Joe, and she grew up in a family full of artistic romance.
Her past.
Her experiences, even her interpersonal relationships, all of these fabricated things have traces that can be traced, and are so perfect that there are no flaws.
It's like.
As if she really existed.
In such a world, where even life can be faked, what else can't be done? She accompanied Zhi Liao abroad, holding Zhi Liao's hand.
Zhi Liao is still Zhi Liao, but his current identity is a young entrepreneur.
The future is bright.
He was a dark horse who emerged out of nowhere, mainly shining in the field of art. Therefore, he met Joe's daughter at an art exhibition and fell in love with her.
Some words, some rumors.
As the story spread, it became true. The real Joe's daughter actually died when she was still very young.
But Joe couldn't accept this fact.
I haven't cancelled my account yet.
Then, artist Joe passed away five years later.
Qiao Xi's identity.
It was also arranged by Zhi Liao at this time.
No one paid attention to these things. Joe was already down and out at that time, and even his fame only came after his death when people noticed his works, and only after they became known did they have international influence.
And Qiao Xi was assigned this identity by Zhi Liao.
At this time.
As the only daughter of the Xi family, she had been trained by them after being taken back home. She was already familiar with the etiquette of the upper class and the hypocritical interactions.
How to create the perfect smile.
Qiao Xi knew better than anyone how to face strangers in the most dazzling manner.
Art.
This is also an area she has been involved in, and now she is just picking up her past.
They had never paid attention to Joe before.
Naturally, I don't know what Joe's daughter looks like. Even if I have seen Joe's daughter when she was young, after more than ten years, time will fade my memory.
Besides, girls change a lot when they grow up, so it is naturally impossible for her to still be a childish little girl.
In this identity is confirmed.
When Qiao Xi accompanied Zhi Liao in this identity, everyone naturally accepted the fact that the girlfriend of this capable young entrepreneur was the daughter of the late artist Joe.
Zhi Liao thrived abroad.
He appeared as a successful young entrepreneur, demonstrating his abilities and ambitions, and many people were optimistic about him.
As a highly anticipated dark horse.
They are also young people with unlimited potential for success and will always be favored.
but.
In the field of art, several famous artists were invited to attend the banquet of the ancient Xi family. That time, Qiao Xi, as the only daughter of the Xi family, was brought back and made her public debut.
Qiao Xi dyed her hair, changed her makeup, and changed her speaking habits.
But even so.
When two extremely similar faces appear in people's memories, they still feel a sense of surprise and confusion. They are so similar, but with completely different temperaments and identities.
It also gradually dispelled their doubts.
There are many people with the same name and surname.
It just happened that she appeared before their eyes. The difference in status was still different after all.
This trick of replacing one thing with another.
Zhi Liao has figured it out.
Qiao Xi, who was taken abroad by him without his permission, had no ID card or passport. She had no choice but to accept everything he arranged and stay by his side.
She was marked missing in the country.
The amazing thing is that after she disappeared, all traces of her seemed to have disappeared without anyone noticing.
Everything related to her no longer exists.
There was no trace of her past life. Except for the few people who knew her, both Xi Xi and Qiao Xi disappeared as if they had never existed.
Her disappearance.
It was like the last broken clue, and with Qiao Xi's disappearance, nothing was left.
That murder is still under investigation.
But there is still no substantial progress.
The people from the program crew were not trapped in the town for too long. After they left, they all returned to their normal lives.
And depressed.
Naturally, he left on his own private plane half a month later as planned. Unfortunately, the plane crash he expected did not happen.
It's like.
When the person behind the scenes got Qiao Xi, everything else didn't matter.
This also made Yu Zhi feel a little bored.
He reunited with the members of the group and continued his busy idol schedule.
After Nan Xiangzhu left the town that day.
Qiao Xi's disappearance has become a shadow that will never fade from his mind. Even now, he still can't find any trace of Qiao Xi. He can only numb himself, thinking that Qiao Xi, such a clever person, must have escaped long ago.
But is this possible?
This possibility is extremely small.
The Nan family was originally a entrant into this city, so it was impossible for them to completely avoid it. Even if he had a bright future, he still had the burden of the Nan family to shoulder.
Nan Xiangzhu began to learn how to run a company from his father.
He couldn't escape what he couldn't, and he had to take on part of the family business, even if it wasn't his original intention.
The cooperation between the Yan family and the Xi family is progressing smoothly.
When everyone thought there was no suspense and the fruits of victory were about to be plucked by them.
The news suddenly broke out from the Zhang family.
Everyone smelled something unusual. Their young master Zhang was going to marry the daughter of the oil tycoon, and out of courtesy, they sent invitations to other families at the wedding.
The Zhang family has a high status.
The guests who received their invitations were naturally of high status. At this moment, Qiao Xi, who was far away abroad, was moved when she saw Zhi Liao playing with the gold-stamped invitation in his hand.
Young entrepreneurs stop at Liao.
To develop one's own power abroad and bide one's time, one naturally needs an opportunity to return to China. And now, for him.
A wedding banquet attended by various important figures.
