Chapter 171 Missing Person
"It's already ten o'clock. Why haven't you come back yet if you have food?"
In the dark night, a lone moon hangs high in the sky.
Jia Zhang held the stick in her arms and looked out the window with a worried look on her face.
She had already served dinner to her two sons, and had originally thought about getting to know Xu Youliang well after he came back. They were both fathers, and it was not good for them to go out early and come back late every day!
But Jia Zhang never expected that it was already ten o'clock in the evening and Xu Youliang had not returned yet!
Looking at the dark Yi Zhonghai's house opposite, for some reason, Jia Zhang had a bad feeling in her heart.
"With food, nothing will happen to him, right?"
Jia Zhang's heart skipped a beat and the more she thought about it, the more anxious she felt.
She blinked her eyes, and after much hesitation, she finally walked out of the house holding the stick in her arms.
The house of He Daqing's house was still brightly lit, but Jia Zhang, for the sake of face, did not ask He Daqing for help. Instead, she carried the child and went directly to Yan Bugui's house in the front yard.
Ever since I became pregnant, the relationship between the two families has been pretty good because I often come to Yan Bugui to buy fish.
Moreover, Yan Bugui is now the second boss in the courtyard. If something happens, Yan Bugui will not refuse.
"Second uncle!"
Jia Zhang came to the door of Yan Bugui's house cautiously. After hesitating for a long time, she finally knocked on the door.
"My family's food hasn't come back yet, and I'm worried that something has happened. But I have a child in my arms, can you please help me find my food?"
At this moment, Jia Zhang was very nervous.
Before they got married, it was fine for her to raise Jia Dongxu alone, but now that she has experienced life with a man, even though they quarrel every few days, she feels at ease.
She really didn't want to live a helpless life anymore.
"What? It's already past ten o'clock and he's not back yet? Did he go out for a drink?"
Yan Bugui had just returned from the cafeteria night school and was preparing to wash up and go to bed. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
During this period, Old Xu gave their family a lot of money, so Yan Bugui naturally couldn't pretend that nothing had happened.
After blinking his eyes, Yan Bugui put on his clothes and walked out.
"No, if Old Xu drinks, he will tell me in advance."
Jia Zhang frowned, looking worried.
"Look, can you help me find it?"
Yan Bugui, "..."
My goodness! He had worked all day at Red Star Primary School and had to go to the cafeteria to attend night school at night. He was already exhausted. Now it was the middle of the night and he was asked to go find someone?
The city is so big, where can he find people?
Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?
But seeing Jia Zhang's worried look, Yan Bugui sighed helplessly.
"It's such a big city, how can I find it? Well, you go to the backyard and call Lao Liu, and I'll go get the others. There's strength in numbers, let's see if we can find it!"
After all, he is the second uncle in the yard. Since someone asks him for help, Yan Bugui can't just ignore it.
However, He Daqing has now become the manager of Fengze Garden and is very busy all day long. Therefore, Yan Bugui did not intend to trouble He Daqing, but directly asked Jia Zhang to find Liu Haizhong.
After all, this is just Jia Zhang's one-sided statement. What if Xu Youliang just drank with someone and got drunk? Asking everyone in the hospital to look for him would offend people!
But it’s different in the bangs.
This guy has been very enthusiastic recently. What he likes most is when someone asks him for help. For this kind of thing, he should ask Liu Haizhong, right!
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, Jia Zhang's mouth twitched.
She usually doesn't like Liu Haizhong, otherwise she wouldn't come to the front yard to look for Yan Bugui. She never expected that Yan Bugui would ask her to look for Liu Haizhong again...
"it is good!"
Although she was very reluctant, when she thought about the whereabouts of her man, Jia Zhang didn't care too much and walked towards the backyard holding the stick.
"What? Old Xu didn't come back?"
As expected, when Liu Haizhong heard that Jia Zhang was looking for Xu Youliang, he didn't even bother to be affectionate with his wife, and just put on his clothes and walked out.
"Come on, let me get some people to look for him. Old Xu is already a father, but he still doesn't come home at night! If I find him, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
While Liu Haizhong was nagging, he called out Xu Wude and Xu Damao who were opposite him.
"You two, come with me to the grain store to look for it. Old Yan, go to the place where Xu Youliang used to live and ask around. Let's all look for it together!"
Recently, Liu Haizhong has done a lot of things for the people in the courtyard. After going through the whole process, Liu Haizhong has unknowingly developed the style of a leader.
"It's so noisy late at night!"
"Yeah, let's not sleep anymore!"
Xu Wude and his son Xu Damao, who were called out by force, were breathing heavily and complaining in dissatisfaction.
But even though the father and son kept nagging, they liked to change their attitude according to the situation. Liu Haizhong was very successful now, so they dared not provoke this old man.
So Xu Wude and Xu Damao followed Liu Haizhong to the grain store to look for someone.
Yan Bugui took two young men from the yard and went to Xu Youliang's original yard to look for someone.
However, two full hours passed.
When the two teams returned to the yard panting, they found that neither of them had found Xu Youliang.
"Hey, this is strange, where can this person go?"
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and felt that something might have happened.
He turned and looked at Jia Zhang.
"Where else can your man go on weekdays besides the grain store and the old yard? Does he have any relatives or friends?"
"Ah this..."
The man did not come back, and Jia Zhang was also very panicked. When she heard this, her voice trembled.
"Since my family got married, they have almost cut off contact with other people. Every day, apart from going to work, they go home and have nowhere else to go!"
Jia Zhang usually kept a strict control on Xu Youliang and basically didn't let him go out to fool around. But now, there was no one at the grain store and no one at the old courtyard. Where could Xu Youliang go?
When she thought of this, Jia Zhang became more and more panicked.
"Think about it carefully. Has he done anything unusual recently?"
Yan Bugui frowned and continued to ask, trying to find some clues.
But Jia Zhang thought about it again and again, and found nothing unusual except that her husband came home late in the past few days.
Yes, ever since Jia Zhang became pregnant, her attention has been on herself and her child, and she rarely cared about Xu Youliang. How could she know that there was anything abnormal about Xu Youliang?
"No, he seems normal except that he looks tired recently."
Jia Zhang said guiltily.
Yan Bugui, "..."
Liu Haizhong, "..."
Xu family father and son, "..."
