But the phone rang for a long time and no one answered. Ye Xinning was confused, so was he busy?
The call automatically hung up when no one answered, so Ye Xinning had no choice but to send a message to Ji Jianshen.
——Tell me Wanwan that you are going to France for business. I am also in France. If you have time, we can meet and I will treat you to dinner.
After the text message was sent, Ye Xinning put down her phone. Ji Jianshen would message her back after seeing it.
After dinner, Ye Xinning called Aunt Wen and asked about Ye Rouxin's situation there.
"There's nothing unusual about Xia He. She's been running around the company and her family recently. We haven't traced her contacts with any suspicious persons yet."
Ye Xinning stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes falling on the dark night in the distance, his eyes dark, "Continue to stare at Xia He, and report to me in time if anything happens."
"Okay, miss."
"By the way, let me know if there is any news from the Huo family. My work here may not be completed until a week later."
"Okay, don't worry, miss, I will always be watched."
"Well, okay, then it's Aunt Wen's fault."
…
Early the next morning, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao left the hotel together to meet their collaborators.
As soon as they walked out of the hotel lobby, they saw Wen Zhu driving a car parked at the door. Seeing them coming out, Wen Zhu greeted them warmly.
"Miss Ye, are you going out?"
"Well, we are going to meet a partner." Ye Xiaoxiao said enthusiastically.
"Where to?"
Ye Xiaoxiao reported her address without any precautions, and by the time Ye Xinning tried to stop her from telling her, it was already too late.
"Ah, just in time, Mr. Shen and I are also going there to do business. In that case, let's send you two there."
"Need not."
"OK."
Two voices sounded at the same time, Ye Xinning in the front and Ye Xiaoxiao in the back.
The smile on Wenzhu's face was a little awkward.
Ye Xinning smiled lightly, "We can just take a taxi ourselves, I won't bother you."
"Ms. Ye, you're welcome. It's no trouble. It's just a matter of course."
Ye Xinning, "..."
"Sister, Wenzhu said it would be nice to see us off. It's getting late. I think it's difficult to get a taxi in this area. It wouldn't be good to delay the meeting with the partners."
"..." Ye Xinning looked at Ye Xiaoxiao. Before she could say anything, Shen Lin in the back seat lowered the window, his eyes fell on her, and his words were very brief, "If you want to be late, you don't have to get in the car."
Ye Xinning twitched the corners of his lips, but finally gave in.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Wen Zhu sat in the front, and Ye Xinning sat in the back seat. As Shen Lin told Ye Xiaoxiao, it was not convenient to take a taxi here. She continued to waste time in front of the hotel, and she might really be late.
Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao got in the car, and Wenzhu was the most relaxed. If these two didn't get in the car, it is conceivable that she would have lived in a depressing atmosphere all morning.
The car started and drove towards the destination. Ye Xinning kept his eyes on the car window and did not look back at Shen Lin without saying anything.
Next to Shen Lin was Shen Lin. The back seat was obviously very spacious, but Ye Xinning felt very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Lin didn't say anything shocking along the way.
The car stopped at the destination. Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao got out of the car, but Shen Lin suddenly held her hand.
"let's have dinner tonight."
Ye Xinning refused directly without thinking, "I have something to be busy with."
"Your cooperation only lasts until noon at most, and you are free in the afternoon. Tell me what you are busy with?"
After the lie was exposed, Ye Xinning's face was a little embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Yes, I just don't want to eat with you. I politely said that Mr. Shen doesn't understand. Then I can express it more straightforwardly."
Shen Lin's eyes were dark, "Have you forgotten everything I said last night?"
last night?
Ye Xinning thought of what Shen Lin said last night, telling her not to stay away from him.
She shook off Shen Lin's hand and left only three words, "I don't remember."
Shen Lin looked at the woman who turned away without looking back. His eyebrows softened unconsciously, and the corners of his lips curved into a beautiful curve without leaving any trace.
"Mr. Shen, where are you going now?" Wen Zhu said from the front.
"Gu family." Shen Lin looked at the person disappearing from sight, and then looked back.
The Gu family, Gu Shilin's home, where Aunt Shen Lin has settled abroad for a long time, is France.
"Okay, Mr. Shen, do you need to pick up Miss Ye that evening? Miss Ye said she doesn't have time to have dinner with you."
"Take it." Shen Lin's eyes were calm. She stepped back and he took a step forward. Don't you have time?
nonexistent.
…
Ye Xinning met with her client in the morning to discuss the relevant details of this case. Her client came to France at the beginning of the year. This time she cooperated with their law firm because she wanted to compete for the family property left by her father in China.
Ye Xinning got all the information about this case from the client and decided to read it after he went back and give an answer.
Afterwards, he had lunch with his client, and then Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao left the restaurant together.
Halfway through, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed, "Ah."
Ye Xinning looked sideways at her, confused, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, I forgot my bag. Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
Ye Xinning had a headache. She didn't expect Ye Xiaoxiao to forget such an important thing. She was also worried that her bag had been lost.
"Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."
"Um."
Ye Xinning stood there waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao. A message came on her phone. She lowered her head and looked at her phone. It was Ji Jianshen's message.
She had forgotten about it after sending a message to Ji Jianshen last night. She only remembered it now after seeing it and quickly opened the message.
——I'm not in France, my original plan has changed, I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you.
Ye Xinning looked at the news on the screen and felt a little regretful, but he also knew that Ji Jianshen was very busy at work.
——Okay, let’s do it next time. I’ll go to Beicheng to find you next time.
The message was sent, and Ye Xinning waited patiently, but there was no reply for a long time.
Ye Xinning waited carefully for the news, not realizing that the danger was approaching her.
Not far away, a group of men wearing hats were coming towards her. The next second, before Ye Xinning could react, a hand knife fell on Ye Xinning's shoulder. Ye Xinning didn't even see clearly who it was. Passed out.
Several men worked together to get her into the car, and the car drove away quickly. The whole process took less than five minutes.
…
Ye Xiaoxiao took out her bag and didn't see Ye Xinning, thinking she had gone somewhere else.
He took out his mobile phone and called Ye Xinning, but no one answered the phone. Ye Xiaoxiao called several more times, but still no one answered.
Now Ye Xiaoxiao panicked.
She quickly called Shen Lin.
"Brother-in-law, my sister's phone number cannot be reached and she has disappeared."
