Chapter 249: 1 rib
In a corner of the city, the magnificent building of the Wushu Association is like an ancient castle, quietly located in the tranquil bluestone alley river bend.
It is a place full of mystery, surrounded by lush trees. The mottled shadows of the trees are cast on the bluestone road, as if telling the story of the years.
At the gate of the Wushu Association, a pair of stone lions squatted majestically on both sides. Their lifelike postures were like loyal guards, always guarding this sacred and inviolable holy place in people's hearts. Their serious expressions seemed to warn visitors that this place must not be desecrated.
A taxi streaked across the street like a meteor, and like an arrow shot from a bow, it drove over at lightning speed and stopped at the gate of the Wushu Association.
The car door was suddenly opened, and Bai Jinrong got out of the car with one swift step. Her eyes revealed anxiety and panic, and her hair was a little messy from running, but she didn't care at all, and just ran straight towards the yard of the Wushu Association.
As soon as she stepped into the office yard, she couldn't wait to shout at the top of her voice: "Dad... Dad..." The voice echoed in the silent yard, with an anxious emotion, and spread into the office where President Bai was.
At this moment, President Bai was immersed in his own world. He looked peaceful and calm, as if the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.
He stood in front of the desk, holding the brush steadily in his hand, and was writing the four big characters "The highest good is like water".
The brush danced lightly on the rice paper. Every stroke contained power and charm. The black ink spread on the paper as if it had life.
However, Bai Jinrong's urgent shouting broke the silence. Bai Jinrong rushed into the office with hurried and flustered steps. She frowned and said with an unhappy look:
"Dad, you still have the mood to write this crap. Jiang Chengyu is missing, and the police are searching for him in the streets with photos! Why don't you mobilize the martial arts association to go out and look for him?"
When President Bai Yixiu heard his daughter's irritable and complaining words, his hands trembled violently, and he stopped writing incredulously and immediately put down the big brush in his hand.
He walked out of the desk quickly, holding Bai Jinrong's shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes full of tension, and asked with a little disbelief: "What did you say? Jiang Chengyu is missing? Is this true? How could such a smart person disappear?"
Bai Jinrong was upset at this time. She irritably pulled her father's hands apart and said unhappily, "Do you think the police officers have nothing better to do than to go around the streets looking for someone?"
Chairman Bai sighed helplessly at his daughter's appearance. Bai Jinrong sat down beside the table angrily, picked up the cup on the table, poured a cup of hot water, and drank it in one gulp. Her cheeks bulged like an angry pufferfish.
Seeing this, President Bai hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone out to find him right away."
In Cao Guohua's office in the Military Hospital, after Cui Jiani and Luo Jinxi learned of Jiang Chengyu's whereabouts, they looked at each other with a hint of surprise and eagerness in their eyes.
Regardless of their hunger, they immediately stood up and hurried out of the office.
Arriving in front of the car, Luo Jinxi quickly opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat. Cui Jiani followed closely behind and walked to the driver's seat and got in.
The car was like an enraged cheetah, the engine emitted a low roar, and it drove towards the gate in a flash. Luo Jinxi sat in the passenger seat, took out his cell phone, and quickly called Qian Zhanyong.
At this time, Captain Qian was alone in the office. He looked thoughtful with a frown on his face, as if there was an unsolvable mystery lingering in his heart.
He held a cigarette between his index fingers, the red butt flickering faintly in the spacious office, and smoke swirled around him.
He paced back and forth in the office while smoking a cigarette. Every step seemed so heavy, and the "clacking" sound of his footsteps was particularly clear in the silent office.
Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the dull atmosphere. Qian Zhanyong walked to the desk, picked up the phone and saw that it was Luo Jinxi. He immediately answered the call and said anxiously: "Hello, Luo Jinxi, what's the situation?"
Luo Jinxi's joyful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Captain Qian, let the police officers withdraw!
Jiang Chengyu followed my father to the Xiaoyang Village Drilling Tunnel Engineering Team to clean up the landslide rubble! I'm taking Mu Xiaoji to find him now. I won't say anything more, Captain Qian, I'm dead now! "
When Qian Zhanyong heard this, before he could say anything, the phone started to buzz with a busy tone.
Qian Zhanyong was immediately furious, and said loudly with a hint of pampering: "Hey... hey... you are such a living ancestor, are you the captain or am I the captain? You are getting more and more outrageous, and you have no discipline when it comes to the opposite sex."
He sighed helplessly, shook his head, then found Zhang Zhekun's number on his mobile phone and dialed it.
Zhang Zhekun answered the call almost immediately after the bell rang: "Hello, Captain Qian."
Qian Zhanyong immediately said, "Notify all team members immediately, Jiang Chengyu has been found."
Zhang Zhekun answered promptly and decisively: "Yes, Captain Qian." After that, Zhang Zhekun hung up the phone.
Cui Jiani's black Volkswagen slowly drove into Jinyang Villa like a black cheetah, the wheels rolling on the smooth road, making a slight friction sound.
As soon as the car stopped, Luo Jinxi pushed open the door hastily as if he was bounced by a spring. With a "bang", the door hit the air.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Jiani also got out of the car. She closed the door with force and efficiency, and the sound of the door closing was particularly loud outside the quiet villa.
The two walked towards the door, each step was filled with urgency. Cui Jiani stretched out her slender fingers and rang the doorbell.
As soon as the doorbell rang, Mu Xiaoji opened the door instantly, as if he was an elf who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Cui Jiani was shocked, her beautiful big eyes were full of surprise, and she asked, "Are you waiting at the door?"
Mu Xiaoji's handsome face showed an embarrassed smile. He scratched his head and said, "I heard you park your car in the bedroom, and I used the Shadow to shuttle down."
Cui Jiani raised her eyebrows and said jokingly, "That's quite a good skill. It hides your birth defect very well. What's there to eat? Let's fill our stomachs. We haven't eaten for a day!"
Mu Xiaoji quickly replied: "You sit there and wait for a while."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoji turned and walked into the kitchen, his back seemed a little hurried. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he immediately started to work.
He first skillfully took a pot, walked to the faucet and filled it with water, then placed the pot steadily on the gas stove with both hands, and turned on the fire with a "click".
The flames immediately licked the bottom of the pot, and the blue flames jumped happily. Then he picked up the pan, gently placed it on the stove next to him, and cracked an egg into it.
The eggs sizzled on the pan, the egg white solidified quickly, and the yolk trembled slightly in the middle, like a golden sun.
While the eggs were being fried, the water in the pot began to boil and white steam filled the kitchen.
He methodically picked up a handful of noodles and put them into the pot. The noodles rolled in the water like a school of small white fish. Mu Xiaoji's movements were smooth and natural.
Soon, the two heard Mu Xiaoji's enthusiastic voice: "You two can come over and eat!"
The two stood up and walked to the dining table. They saw Mu Xiaoji leaning on a cane with one hand and holding a bowl of steaming beef and egg noodles steadily with the other hand.
The noodles were dotted with emerald green onions, like green gems inlaid on white jade. The rich aroma filled their noses, making the two hungry people swallow their saliva instantly, and their throats rolled unconsciously.
Cui Jiani couldn't help but praise: "I didn't realize that Xiaoji can cook noodles?"
Luo Jinxi couldn't wait to go into the kitchen and brought out her own bowl of noodles. As she took a bite, she praised happily, "It still tastes like home."
He walked and ate, and sat down next to Cui Jiani. Hearing the praise, Mu Xiaoji said a little embarrassedly: "I will treat you to a big meal when I come back to find the little monster. I only know how to cook this, unlike the little monster who can fry steak or something."
Luo Jinxi drank a mouthful of soup with satisfaction and said, "It's good enough that you can cook noodles! I can't even cook them well."
Cui Jiani picked up a noodle, put it to her mouth, and secretly looked at Mu Xiaoji with affectionate eyes. There seemed to be a bottomless lake hidden in her eyes, full of love.
However, Mu Xiaoji's heart and eyes were filled with his little monster. His eyes were filled with concern and longing for the little monster. He did not see the emotions in Cui Jiani's eyes at all. It was like a stone thrown into the sea without causing any ripples.
After the two of them finished the noodles in no time, Mu Xiaoji hurried into the bedroom. After a while, he came downstairs hurriedly carrying a bag.
The bag looked very solemn, swaying beside his legs as he walked. Luo Jinxi looked at him puzzled, with doubts in his eyes, and asked, "What are you holding?"
Mu Xiaoji replied as he walked quickly downstairs: "Little Monster's clothes and shoes, let's go!" His eyes were filled with anxiety and his steps became more and more rapid.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinxi hurriedly reached out to take the bag. The weight of the bag made her feel slightly heavy, and then she walked towards the door.
Mu Xiaoji walked in front and picked up the key to the Range Rover, turned around and handed it to Cui Jiani and said, "Jiani, you drive the little monster car!"
Cui Jiani raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a hint of teasing: "You don't mind?"
Mu Xiaoji's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. He said a little embarrassedly: "Little Monster is right, he is back now, there is nothing to worry about!"
Cui Jiani smiled and joked: "You are stubborn and stubborn."
As they spoke, the three of them quickly walked to Jiang Chengyu's Land Rover Range Rover and got in one by one.
As the key was turned, a low and powerful engine roar sounded, like a giant beast being awakened.
The car started slowly, the tires rolled on the ground, then gradually accelerated and drove out of the gate of Jinyang Villa smoothly.
As soon as we got out of the door, the car merged into a long stream of traffic and headed towards the Xiaoyang Village mountain tunnel.
Along the way, Cui Jiani stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car sped away like an arrow.
The speed brought about a gust of wind, and the dust on the roadside was blown into the air, forming patches of yellow smoke.
The leaves on both sides of the road were blown off the branches by the wind, fluttering and tumbling in the air, like a group of dancing butterflies, or as if caught in an invisible storm. They flew up and down with the air currents raised by the traffic, some stuck to the car windows, and then were quickly thrown behind.
