Chapter 223 Magical Unfolding
Chapter 223 Magical Unfolding
Chen Cheng was a man who lived an honest life. After sending Chen Luoyi to Shanghai to study at university, he felt relieved.
He always thought that his son was studying hard in Shanghai, and that finding a good job in the future was his biggest wish. As for whether he could stay in Shanghai, he didn't dare to think too much about it.
He also often calls his son on weekdays to ask about his well-being and whether Chen Luoyi has enough living expenses and how his studies are going.
But about three days ago, Chen Luoyi's phone could not be reached. Either no one answered, or the call was occasionally hung up.
Chen Cheng suddenly lost contact with Chen Luoyi completely.
Chen Cheng was a little worried, so he contacted the school to inquire about Chen Luoyi's situation.
As a result, the school told him that Chen Luoyi had been on leave for several months.
And it seems that the parent's signature on the leave application was forged...
This is completely different from the information Chen Cheng usually receives. Two days ago, Chen Luoyi said that he was preparing for the final exams at school!
After thinking about it, I felt that the situation was serious, so I took a leave and came to Shanghai.
He took a hard seat train all night and arrived in Shanghai this morning. He immediately went to Fudan University and ran around the campus all day but gained little. His classmates said they hadn't seen Chen Luoyi for a long time.
Some people were even surprised that Chen Luoyi's father was so poor.
Chen Cheng learned some confusing information, such as that Chen Luoyi was very rich and had been very popular when he was in school. It was also rumored that he knew some people in the underworld.
Of course, this actually involves Bai Xi’s dark history, but not many people dare to mention it now, and most people treat it as a joke.
Just by piecing these things together, Chen Cheng inferred that Chen Luoyi must have "learned bad things."
But now it doesn’t matter whether you have learned bad things or not. What matters is where the person has gone?
If he wants to beat him up and drag him back to school, he has to find the person first!
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so he subconsciously went to the police station near the school to seek help.
But Chen Luoyi is an adult, not a child. The fact that he has not been contacted for just three days will not attract the attention of the police unless Chen Cheng can prove that Chen Luoyi's personal safety has been threatened.
According to the police, situations like Chen Cheng's are not uncommon. They receive a large number of similar cases every year. A child may not be contacted for a week while staying in an Internet cafe, or may not contact his parents for several days while going out with his girlfriend/boyfriend.
It was impossible to file a case for investigation, so we could only keep an eye on him and ask the police to keep an eye on the young people staying in Internet cafes during their patrols, and then let Chen Cheng go back and wait for news.
This is understandable. If every parent who cannot find their child (adult) is investigated, how much police force will be needed?
Not answering parents' calls, being a bad student, or dropping out of school are not situations where the police need to intervene.
Chen Cheng was unfamiliar with the Magic City, so he wanted to get a result after coming here, at least to confirm that Chen Luo was safe.
I was restless until the evening, and finally, holding on to a glimmer of hope, I contacted Bai Xi nervously.
I figured Bai Xi was also in Shanghai, and we were from the same hometown, so maybe he knew something...
After listening to Chen Cheng's words, Bai Xi frowned slightly.
Of course, she had no time to pay attention to Chen Luoyi. His life or death had nothing to do with her, but even so, it was a bit too much to say so in front of his father.
Bai Xi pondered for a moment and was about to speak to persuade him.
Chen Cheng's cell phone vibrated.
He had been keeping his phone in his hand all these days and even bought a power bank. He was afraid of missing Chen Luoyi's message, so he immediately looked over.
But I found out it was a remittance text message.
The sender was a stranger, and the note read, "Dad, please keep this money."
The amount is 50.
......
Chen Cheng counted it three times and found that five hundred thousand was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
But he didn't feel happy at all, instead his heart sank.
Combined with his previous inference that "his son has become a bad person and is hanging out with people outside", Chen Cheng's hands were shaking.
"Where did all this money come from... Is this the money to buy Chen Luoyi's life?"
As a native of Guangdong, he had heard a lot of things when he was young.
Especially during the era when Hong Kong gangster movies were popular, Guangdong was one of the places most affected.
He immediately thought that the gang leader might have bought Chen Luoyi's life and that was why he had so much money.
Chen Cheng felt his eyes go dark and the world was spinning.
Bai Xi took the phone, glanced at it, and frowned slightly: "This... Don't worry, I'll ask someone."
After saying that, Bai Xi called Xiao Rui and asked him to help investigate the situation.
Xiao Rui was very quick and within a short while, Bai Xi received a call back.
It's just that Xiao Rui's tone on the phone was a little strange, and Bai Xi's eyes got bigger and bigger as he listened...
"What the hell?"
......
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xi briefly told Chen Cheng what he had learned.
A few minutes later, Chen Cheng also widened his eyes.
"Brother Zhang? Business K*V? Earning hundreds of thousands of yuan a month?"
Chen Cheng felt that in just a few days, his three views had been reshaped.
"Bai girl...are you talking about Chen Luoyi?"
Am I too old-fashioned, or is the Magic City too magical?
Wasn't it like this when my son was sent here to study?!
Is this the Demon City or the Demon Cult?!
Bai Xi's expression was also very strange, but he still tried to calm Chen Cheng down and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen..."
Now at least there is still a place to ask...
Just need to change someone...
.......
"Hello, boss. I'm from Jiang Province."
"Hello, boss. I'm from Sansheng."
"Hello, boss. I'm from Ontario."
Inside "Yuting Dihao Business xx", Chen Cheng had a stern face.
He really didn't know what expression to use...
So I can only choose to remain silent.
It's so damn abstract to sit in a place like this with people arranged by my son's friends!
What’s even more abstract is that this store is managed by his son!
Xiao Rui standing by was quite natural, holding a glass of beer and shaking it slightly.
At times like this, try to act normal.
It’s definitely not that I, Xiao, am very familiar with this kind of place.
Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, I have really given too much for you.
Xiao Rui took a quick look and said to the foreman, "Change the batch."
The foreman was a woman in her thirties or forties. Perhaps because she had been staying up late for a long time, her figure was still good, but her face was a little sagging, with traces of plastic surgery, and was very stiff.
He had a smiling expression, but he gave Xiao Rui a cold shoulder.
"Boss, it's getting late. This is the last batch."
As he was speaking, another row of contestants walked past the door. It was very lively and it was obvious that the foreman was talking nonsense.
However, the other party's face was tested by time, and he remained calm. He blinked his eyes and urged Xiao Rui to hurry up.
What a joke, there are only two of you, you can't drink much, you can't have much fun, and you're not even a regular customer, why should I go through so much trouble?
She even felt a little annoyed that two people occupied one private room, which lowered today's sales.
Xiao Rui said to Chen Cheng beside him, "Uncle Chen, is there anything you like?"
When Chen Cheng smiled, his face was stiffer than the foreman's face after plastic surgery. Although he knew that he was here to inquire about the situation...
But he really couldn't follow through with this.
"Ahem, Xiao Xiao, just watch...Uncle doesn't know how to do this..."
Xiao Rui put the wine glass heavily on the coffee table with a "bang".
"Can't we have fun with fewer people? Can't I order ten? Hurry up and change the batch! And this beer has no taste. Open me an XO, and I want the most expensive one."
The foreman's eyes lit up: "Boss is right, it's boring with fewer people. I'll call some more people to accompany you!"
It turns out that he is a rich second generation who is not short of money!
You should have told me earlier!
