Chapter 1 Door-to-door (thanks to Ran Jiu ad Wan
On a sunny afternoon, at the door of a villa in the suburbs, a young man in casual clothes wandered around for several minutes nervously, but he was reluctant to step forward.&1t;/p>
Finally, as if he had made some decision, the man took a deep breath, walked forward and rang the doorbell. However, he waited for a few minutes, but no one responded.&1t;/p>
"Duan Xiyan, are you at home?"&1t;/p>
Through the fence, Jiang Li stood on tiptoe and shouted loudly to the yard. The flowers in the yard were as gorgeous as before, and they were carefully cared for. The leaves of the flowers and plants were still stained with dew, and the water marks on the ground in the yard were still there. Jiang Li affirmed that the other party should not have left.&1t;/p>
There is no way to find him. After all, I had hated Duan Xiyan before, so I naturally did not leave any contact information from the other party. It has been a full week since the last mission. During this period, Duan Xiyan never contacted him again. Even the status of the game account shows that the other party has never been online since the last copy.&1t;/p>
Thinking of his help to himself before, and in the end, he even destroyed the curse props. Thinking of this, Jiang Li was even more worried about his situation. After hesitating at home for several days, he finally made up his mind to come to Duan Xiyan to ask clearly. But now... the other party seems to be really not at home.&1t;/p>
"Young man, who are you looking for?"&1t;/p>
At this moment, an elderly couple appeared behind him. Seeing that the two were holding a lot of ingredients in their hands, the old man pressed the password lock of the villa opposite again. Jiang Li realized that the two should be the neighbors living opposite Duan Xiyan.&1t;/p>
"I... am here to find a friend."&1t;/p>
Jiang Li pointed to the door of Duan Xiyan's house and smiled awkwardly. The two old men didn't seem to think much, especially the old woman. Seeing him sweating profusely, she couldn't help but say, "Are you here to find Xiao Duan? Oh, he moved here for half a year, and I haven't seen any friends coming to the house yet. Why don't you go back to the house with us to have a drink?"&1t;/p>
"No, no...I want to ask, do you know where he went? I...can't contact him recently."&1t;/p>
Jiang Li rarely lies, so he speaks angry and is a bit stumbling.&1t;/p>
However, the old woman smiled distractedly. She walked up to look at Jiang Li and said kindly: "Xiao Duan him, it seemed that he had something to go out a while ago. I haven't looked at him for several days. This child has always been busy with work. Sometimes at night, he can still see his room working with lights on."&1t;/p>
Another old man opened the door and turned around to greet Jiang Li and said, "Child, I'll see you've been in vain. Xiao Duan will definitely not be able to come back today. A few days ago, when I was taking a walk, I saw him dragging a suitcase. When he said he was saying he was going on a business trip. These days, the nanny came to clean the house. Why don't you go into the house to drink water and leave quickly?"&1t;/p>
"Is that so? He is not at home." Jiang Li sighed in a slight disappointment, and then said to the two elders: "Then I'll go back first..."&1t;/p>
"Oh, it's okay, come in and sit in. We are retired too. The children insist on buying a villa in the suburbs to live in the elderly. There are few people here, so we are both bored. Just come and let us relieve our boredom." The old woman smiled kindly and pulled Jiang Li into the house.&1t;/p>
Jiang Li couldn't refuse his affection, so he had to bite the bullet and visit his second hometown.&1t;/p>
Similar to Duan Xiyan's family, the old couple's home is also so luxurious that it is jaw-dropping. The place you see is full of carved mahogany furniture, and fresh green plants are planted. The layout is simple and elegant without losing its nobleness. Of course, Jiang Li also knew in his heart that those who could live here are naturally people who are either rich or noble in the city.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
"I won't make tea when it's hot. Is iced mineral water OK?"&1t;/p>
"Thank you." Jiang Li took the water and nodded politely to the other party. The old woman brought a plate of washed fruits. While greeting her husband to cook, she started chatting with Jiang Li.&1t;/p>
The reason why Jiang Li decided to stay was to ask about Duan Xiyan as much as possible from the two old people. The old woman introduced herself. Her surname was Jiang and the old man's surname was Lin. Both of them were retired state-owned enterprises.&1t;/p>
"Xiao Duan, he moved here half a year ago." Speaking of the neighbor opposite, Mrs. Jiang praised: "I really like children like Xiao Duan. She is a special elite in Beixin City Public Security Bureau at a young age. She is low-key and diligent, and very patient. We don't know how to use computers or anything else. Every time we ask him, he will come to the door to help solve the problem."&1t;/p>
"Do you have his contact information?" Jiang Li's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Thinking that Duan Xiyan had inadvertently mentioned that he rarely used social software, Jiang Li made up an excuse: "My mobile phone was stolen before, so I can't contact him. He is like a person, neither using QQ nor WeChat, so it's a hard time to find him."&1t;/p>
"That's it, I said, why did you come to the door? Fortunately, I saved his phone number here." Old Mrs. Jiang did not doubt his words and gave Duan Xiyan's contact information on her phone. In the subsequent chat, she told Jiang Li that Duan Xiyan's parents did not seem to be in China. He has always lived alone opposite each other, and rarely mentioned his own affairs to outsiders, nor did he see any peers around him. Therefore, today, when he first saw Jiang Li coming to the door, the two elders were surprised.&1t;/p>
For Jiang Li, although he didn't see him this time, he did not get anything.&1t;/p>
"Thank you, grandma, I really disturbed you today. I didn't bring anything to the door with me now. Next time I have time, I will definitely come to visit you and chat with you to relieve my boredom." Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Li slowly stood up and decided to go home quickly.&1t;/p>
"Don't you stay for a meal?" Old Mrs. Jiang seemed to like the handsome and polite young man in front of her very much. She held Jiang Li's hand and looked at her carefully, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes: "By the way, Xiao Jiang, are you in love now? I have a granddaughter, about the same age as you..."&1t;/p>
"Uh, mother-in-law, this..." Jiang Li blushed when he heard this.&1t;/p>
Mr. Lin laughed and said to him: "It's okay, don't take it to heart. My old lady is like this. When she sees a beautiful young man, she wants to match her granddaughter. So, Xiaoduan's phone call is so forced to come."&1t;/p>
"What are you talking nonsense? Xiao Jiang's family background is good, and his major is as good as Miaomiao. Besides, being able to be friends with such an excellent child as Xiao Duan is definitely a top-notch scholar."&1t;/p>
Looking at Jiang Li's redder face, Mr. Lin waved his hand and quickly relieved him: "Okay, don't tease others, Xiao Jiang must have something to do, right? Then we won't delay you."&1t;/p>
"Okay, thank you grandparents, then I'll say goodbye first. I'll come to visit you two when I have time next time." Jiang Liru walked to the door with amnesty, pushed the small yellow cart and waved his hands to the two elders, and then he quickly left.&1t;/p>
He looked back at Duan Xiyan's home behind him and murmured to himself: "I can't tell that this guy is quite good at pretending in front of others. Duan Xiyan, Duan Xiyan, which one is the real you?"&1t;/p>
Looking at the phone in the memo, Jiang Li thought about it and stuffed his phone back into his pocket.&1t;/p>
However, as soon as he rode out of the villa area, a black luxury business car appeared at the intersection and stopped him on the side of the road. After seeing this car, Jiang Li's heartbeat suddenly dripped.&1t;/p>
