1The night passed in silence. The next day, Meng Fan woke up and checked his phone. Seeing that there were no missed calls, his heart was filled with melancholy. At the same time, he dialed Liu Xia's number.
However, the news that he had received from Liu Xia had once again disappointed Meng Fan. After a night of searching, there was not even a single hint of news about William. It was as if he had really vanished from the face of the earth.
With a heart full of disappointment, Meng Fan came into the living room. Seeing Liu Xu and Zhou Qing sitting on the sofa with worried expressions, Meng Fan's heart trembled. He asked, "What's wrong?"
"You're back?" Hearing Meng Fan's voice, the two women realized that Meng Fan had an expression of surprise on his face. In fact, he even seemed a bit happy. The worry that had been on their faces moments ago was now mostly gone.
"I came back last night. What happened to you?" Seeing the appearance of the two women, Meng Fan's eyebrows shot up. He didn't understand why the two of them had changed so much.
"Why didn't you tell us when you came back, causing us to worry for a long time. And here we were, thinking that something had happened to you!" Zhou Qing looked at Meng Fan reproachfully, but didn't seem the least bit angry.
"Alright! I came back rather late yesterday, so I didn't disturb you. How were you yesterday? Is everything all right? " At this moment, Meng Fan understood what the two of them were thinking. They were only worried about him, so he immediately changed the topic. Since he had mentioned what happened yesterday, he didn't want to continue discussing that issue.
Meng Fan was very clear about Zhou Qing's thoughts. However, every time he mentioned these things, Meng Fan would subconsciously change the topic, no longer asking about it. Considering his current situation, he could face danger at any time, and he did not want to put Zhou Qing in danger because of his own matters.
"Not bad!" After separating with you, we went to the Shang Pai Pavilion. After we went there, we heard that everything was fine, so we came back. It's just that you didn't come back, so what happened? " Hearing Meng Fan's words, before Zhou Qing could say anything, Liu Xu sat on the side and asked with an ice-cold tone.
Liu Xu seemed to understand Meng Fan's thoughts, so she took the initiative to change the topic. Although her face was cold, a trace of embarrassment flashed in the depths of her eyes, as if she was trying her best to conceal something.
"It's nothing. Chengying was taken away by William and I'm still looking for him. I hope I can find him quickly and get Chengying back. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble!" Hearing Liu Xu's words, Meng Fan didn't try to hide anything as he spoke in a clear voice.
"Chengying has been snatched away?" However, after hearing Meng Fan's words, Zhou Qing cried out in surprise. She looked at Meng Fan, and even Liu Xu, who had always been cold, couldn't help but feel shocked. Meng Fan's words clearly frightened her quite a bit.
After all, even if Liu Xu and Zhou Qing were together, they would still be aware of how important Cheng Ying was to Meng Fan. If Meng Fan really didn't care about Cheng Ying, and had handed him over right from the beginning, then so many things wouldn't have happened.
But now, Meng Fan actually said that Cheng Ying had been snatched away by someone? Although they couldn't react in time, they could only stare at Meng Fan with stunned expressions, as if they were still lost in shock, like two wax statues.
"It was taken away!" And right now, there's still no news of William. Maybe I'll have to go out once in a while, and if I don't find Cheng Ying, I might not even be able to live a good life! " Seeing the two girls acting like this, Meng Fan bitterly smiled, his face showing a bit of worry.
After reaching an agreement with the security group, Meng Fan was merely a custodian. Now that Cheng Ying had been taken away, although Old Lu from the security group didn't say anything, Meng Fan knew very well that if he didn't find Cheng Ying, he would definitely be targeted. Although he might not lose his life because of it, Meng Fan didn't want to offend him.
Even though Meng Fan dared to expose Old Man Hu's plan, it did not mean that he could ignore the national machinery. In some cases, he could only do things the wrong way, because when he exposed Old Man Hu, he was very clear that if he didn't do that, he would end up taking the blame for Old Man Hu's death.
Meng Fan didn't dare to do that to this so-called security group. If he were to use the security group to compare the two, then they wouldn't be on the same level. The people in the dark would have to follow certain rules, or else they wouldn't work together with Meng Fan to set up a trap to kill those forces outside of the border.
The security team, on the other hand, was different. They were a military force, and although they belonged to the military, they were directly in the service of the entire country. They were like a transcendent organization.
A group of people with a killing permit, even Meng Fan, would not dare to lightly offend him. After all, he was now one of them, and considering his previous identity, if he really wanted to deal with Meng Fan, there wouldn't be any trouble at all. As long as he casually made a connection, Meng Fan would definitely be killed.
After all, the kidnapping of Liu Xia before was a typical example. If the security team was really an organization that followed the rules, why would they kidnap Liu Xia to threaten him?
It could be said that when Meng Fan had agreed to Elder Lu's conditions, he had been completely forced to do so, all because of Liu Xia's life. If he hadn't agreed to Elder Lu's conditions, Liu Xia wouldn't have survived until now, and Meng Fan probably wouldn't even have had the chance to see him one last time.
That was also the reason Meng Fan feared him. He was well aware that as long as he remained in the country, he would have no chance at all in front of the security forces. He would always be silently suppressed.
Although Old Man Lu had always been smiling, Meng Fan didn't dare to look down on him. His long experience outside told him that the more of this kind of person a person was, the more terrifying they would be.
"Then what are you going to do? Do I have to find Cheng Ying? Is it that important to you? " However, just as Meng Fan was thinking about it, Zhou Qing suddenly reacted. She looked at Meng Fan with a serious expression, as if she were worrying about something.
"You don't believe that Chengying is hiding any secret, do you? You have obtained Cheng Ying for so long, yet you still have no results. There is no need for you to worry about all of this, and I think that without Cheng Ying, at the very least, your life would be much quieter, and there wouldn't be so many things that would happen! "
After hearing Zhou Qing's words, the usually cold Liu Xu also nodded her head in agreement. As she spoke, she seemed to be talking about the past. A trace of fear flashed across her face. At the same time, she consoled Meng Fan.
When we saved Liu Xia, I already had an agreement with the security team, and I only had Cheng Ying in custody. It belongs to the country, and if I don't get it back, do you think my life will be any better? I'm afraid it's better than now! " Hearing the words of the two women, Meng Fan let out a helpless sigh, seeming to be filled with melancholy, but also helplessness as he explained.
"What about you?" Hearing Meng Fan's words, Liu Xu and Zhou Qing also seemed to understand something. The two of them spoke at the same time, but just as they said that, they looked at each other and did not say it out loud.
"There's no other way!" He could only take one step at a time. He tried his best to find William and retrieve Chengying! I have no other choice! " Although Zhou Qing and Liu Xu did not finish their words, Meng Fan already understood what they meant. He immediately continued to reply.
"Alright! No matter what! We all support you! " Zhou Qing was speechless. Although she wanted to help Meng Fan, she knew that there was nothing she could do. She had no way to interfere with matters like this, and could only support Meng Fan in her heart.
"Thank you!" Looking at Zhou Qing and Liu Xu, Meng Fan's heart was filled with comfort. Although his current situation wasn't very good, with the two girls supporting him, Meng Fan still felt a bit of warmth.
When he thought back to everything that had happened, he could not help but feel somewhat relieved. With all this in front of him, the murderous intent that had been lingering in his heart for so long suddenly dissipated quite a bit, and his entire body felt a lot more comfortable.
In the following period of time, with the help of Chef Liu Xu and Zhou Qing, the two girls cooked a huge table of food for Meng Fan.
Meng Fan enjoyed this meal very comfortably. Ever since he had returned home, this was the first time he had experienced this sort of warmth, aside from when he was by his parents' side.
After the meal, although Meng Fan was reluctant to part with it, he eventually left the villa and drove towards the direction of Shang Pai Pavilion alone.
Meng Fan had never been a person who avoided situations like this. Although he was not optimistic, he was not pessimistic. Now that things had developed to this point, he naturally had to face things head on.
Finding Cheng Ying was the only thing Meng Fan wanted to do. Since no one had contacted him for the entire night, even Meng Fan was a little anxious and couldn't take the initiative to urge Zhou Zheng and Elder Lu, so he could only go to Shang Pai Pavilion and find Liu Xia.
Liu Xu and Zhou Qing, on the other hand, stayed in the villa and watched Meng Fan leave. They frowned and looked at each other. They could see each other's worry, and could only sigh. They prayed in their hearts.
On the other side, Meng Fan arrived at Shang Pai Pavilion after half an hour. It was still morning, so the front door seemed a bit deserted. Meng Fan didn't mind this. After parking the car, he walked in.
"Brother Fan!" As soon as Meng Fan entered the main hall, a young man ran up to him with a respectful expression on his face.
"Where's Liu Xia?" Seeing the young man, Meng Fan gave an imperceptible nod of his head. Without wasting any more time, he opened his mouth and asked about Liu Xia's location.
"Brother Liu is upstairs. I told you a long time ago that if you came, I would bring you directly up!" As the young man spoke, he saw Meng Fan nod his head. Without further ado, he turned around and walked upstairs.
Meng Fan followed behind the young man. They arrived at a private room on the second floor and saw a worried expression on Liu Xia's face. When the young man brought Meng Fan to the private room, he tactfully left.
"How is it?! Or was there no news of William? " As soon as Meng Fan saw Liu Xia, he had already guessed the answer. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have such an expression. However, even though Meng Fan had guessed the outcome, he was still unwilling to accept it. In the end, he opened his mouth and asked.
"No news!" This fellow seems to have disappeared. I even suspect that he might have transmigrated, and even if he went straight to the crematorium and got burnt, he would at least have a record of it. It's been more than ten hours, and there's not a single clue! "
From the looks of it, he seemed to be even more anxious than Meng Fan. The current Liu Xia looked like he had aged several years in one night, his hair was messy, and his eyes were a pair of thick black circles. He looked like a national treasure that had just escaped from a zoo.
"Try your best!" There was also no news from Elder Lu and Zhou Zheng's side. The results will be out in a moment. In such a short period of time, I believe William does not have the ability to escape out of the country! " Although he was disappointed, Meng Fan couldn't bear to urge him on when he saw Liu Xia's current appearance. He consoled her softly.
