Chapter 54: Eat while you can

Qi Mohan’s tone of speech in Tang Xu’s ears has a different taste. He was more than a friend, so Tang Xu felt intense more and more.

But Tang Xu knew clearly that now was not the time to analyze the identity of the other party, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

Faster than expected, Tang Xu received Qi Mohan’s second voice recorder message.

Qi Mohan asked him if he had contacted Si Si’s family or friends. What did he mean?

Could it be that this person was just like him, and had no contact information for Si Si’s close friends?

He continued to reply, and Xiao Mujin was recording with a voice recorder.

[As far as I know, Si Si has several good classmates in schools in other places, but I’ve never heard them come to her place.]

[As for her relatives, such a big thing happened in her family, but no one came to help. I think that she would come to them.]

Qi Mohan received the recording from Xiao Mujin again and was roughly sure that something must have happened to Si Si.

He was angry that he was incompetent and couldn’t follow the two little kids to Si Si’s place, otherwise he wouldn’t be in such a helpless state now.

Right now, the best way is to keep in touch with this person named Tang Xu, so that he can grasp the situation there as soon as possible.

He recorded another recording with a voice recorder: [If something like this happens, will the Yamen over there not care about it?]

Also, I have some special circumstances here and cannot appear at your place. The only way I can get news about Si Si now is through you. I just hope that the contract between us will not be broken.]

As for how to continue, Qi Mohan didn’t know. He hoped that Tang Xu could understand what he meant and give the two little kids a way to contact him at any time.

Tang Xu naturally understood what Qi Mohan meant, but he was confused by the word “Yamen” that the latter said at the beginning.

This was already the 21st century, only the old men talked like this. Although Qi Mohan’s voice is deeper, it sounds very light. How can he use the word “Yamen” to describe the police station?

Although he was confused and full of doubts, Tang Xu chose to ignore the other party’s speech style for the time being.

He was not sure what the relationship between Qi Mohan and Si Si, but there was no doubt that he cared about Si Si.

Tang Xu simply didn’t care so much. As long as Si Si could return safely, it didn’t matter, even if he couldn’t be her boyfriend.

After thinking about it, Tang Xu told the two kids to start recording.

Earlier, Tang Xu was very consistent with Qi Mohan’s tone: [Since I discovered Si Si’s whereabouts, I have gone to the Police Station three times. The Police Officer said that Si Si’s disappearance must be more than 24 hours before a case can be filed.]

[If Si Si doesn’t show up by 9 p.m. tomorrow, I will report the case again. At that time, someone from the Police Station will come forward and start looking for her.]

After speaking to Qi Mohan, Tang Xu patiently taught the two little kids how to call him. He taught them for almost a minute and only hung up the phone after making sure they had mastered it.

Qi Mohan was smart. Although he doesn’t know exactly how many hours the twenty hours, Tang Xu said, he also said that he would report again after 9 o’clock tomorrow night. Based on this, Qi Mohan concluded that twenty-four hours was equivalent to a day and a night in their place.

Having to wait for a day and a night, not knowing what would happen to Si Si, Qi Mohan’s uneasiness became more and more intense.

However, he has no other way, just like his mother said, he can’t do anything now, he can only wait for the news from the two little kids……

Waiting was like being thrown into the dark abyss with hands and feet tied, making him feel extremely painful and helpless. Every moment becomes so long, like days passing by.

The worry and anxiety about knowing the outcome were like thousands of ants gnawing in his heart, making him unable to sit still.

At this time, Qi Mohan and Tang Xu were both suffering from the same pain.

During this endless waiting, their thoughts gradually drifted away, and various possible endings kept popping up in their mind, but they didn’t dare to think about any of the possibilities, for fear that they would become reality.

Time seemed to have frozen, everything around them became blurred, and only the anxiety and uneasiness in their heart became increasingly clear.

Si Si has been trapped in the mountaintop villa for several hours.

During this period, except for Si Chaojing and Wang Jun who came to the glass room at first, no one came to the glass room again.

However, she could hear the conversation between Wang Yanbo and Wang Yanheng outside through the door.

The content of their conversation was basically about longing for the beauty of being rich.

In fact, Si Si was deliberately eavesdropping on their conversation. On the one hand, her purpose in doing so was to understand how long they planned to keep her here and what they planned to do next. On the other hand, the most important reason was that she was looking for a chance to escape.

Looking out the window, the sky to the east has revealed a hint of fish belly white, which indicates that a new day has arrived.

Si Si missed the two little kids. She wondered if they would be worried and scared if they couldn’t see her in the room, and Qi Mohan. If she couldn’t think of a way to escape, how would the food problem of the people of Qiushui City be solved?

She thought of Tang Xu again. He was the one she had contacted the most in the past few days. She wondered if the latter had noticed her whereabouts and called the police.

If the police were called, would the police come here to rescue her?

At this moment, Si Si’s heart was filled with countless thoughts and worries, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

In this way, with chaotic thoughts, Si Si finally made it to daylight.

Suddenly, the door was rudely pushed open from the outside, and Wang Yanbo walked in impatiently carrying a box of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water.

He glanced at the whole room, and then his eyes fell on Si Si again, and then he put the instant noodles and mineral water on the tea table.

“Eat it while you can.”

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang and locked it outside again.

Si Si glanced at the instant noodles on the tea table. They must have been freshly brewed, and they were still steaming.

She needs to eat well so that she won’t lose strength when she escapes.

Without second thoughts, Si Si picked up the instant noodles and started eating them.

After eating all the instant noodles and drinking half a bottle of mineral water, she leaned on a wicker chair and rested.

She had already thought clearly that not eating or sleeping on her own was not the solution to the problem at all. Besides, she wanted to run away and now was not the best time.

After all, she had just been captured, and the two people outside had just started to look after her. She was not tired yet, so she could only wait for them to become more relaxed, and then find a way to escape.

Si Si slept all night, and it was already afternoon when she woke up. She put her ear against the door, trying to hear what was going on outside.

She doesn’t know if it was because the two brothers were asleep, but there was no movement at all outside.
