Dong Zijun suddenly lost his voice.

In the courtyard of the small town, Ruan Bai took out the bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and asked, "What's the matter, Special Assistant Dong? Can you hear me?"

One minute passed, two minutes passed...

There is still no sound from Dong Zijun...

The colleagues living in the upstairs room got up early, and there were several people going back and forth in the yard. Zhang Chao was still collecting water and watering the flowers, and he kept muttering: "I read the weather forecast, and the temperature will drop from next Wednesday. These pots of flowers have to be raised in the house, who of you is willing to take in two pots? If no one wants to, I will raise them all myself."

It was so noisy that Ruan Bai couldn't hear if there was any other movement from Dong Zijun's side.

From the third minute when it was confirmed that Dong Zijun had stopped talking, Ruan Bai decided to press the hang up button, thinking that Dong Zijun might be busy all of a sudden, or the signal was not good.

But at this moment, Dong Zijun spoke again, and his voice sounded very clear.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ruan, the signal suddenly went bad just now." Dong Zijun said.

"It's okay, I guess the signal is bad, and I'm planning to hang up." Ruan Bai handed the bowl to another female colleague.

The female colleague carried all the dishes and chopsticks to the table.

"Miss Ruan, what did you say just now? I didn't catch it very clearly." Dong Zijun clearly heard it clearly, but now he asked the question again knowingly.

Ruan Bai was really worried that the two children would suffer cold violence from his own father, so he had to repeat: "I said... I was worried that he would have a bad temper and vent his anger on the two children."

Dong Zijun was always surprised that Ruan Bai was not usually interested in the boss's two children.

But that's all between the boss and the boss's woman. As a special assistant, he just does things according to the boss's orders: "Miss Ruan, let me tell the truth, after returning to city A, has the boss vented his anger on the two children? I really don't know, but I heard..."

Having said that, Dong Zijun suddenly stopped.

"What did you hear?" Ruan Bai's heart suddenly twitched.

Dong Zijun said, "The boss just came back yesterday, and he was called to the wine bureau. The two children were thrown in the apartment and no one took care of them... They didn't even have dinner. Zhan Zhan was so hungry that he took his younger sister downstairs to get some food. I gave a little change to buy food, and the community manager saw it and didn't dare to stop it, but since the two children left the apartment last night, there has been no news..."

"What?" Ruan Bai's voice suddenly became unstable. The child went downstairs to buy food and never came back?

Dong Zijun explained again: "I also just heard this morning that the boss drank a little too much last night and slept in a hotel. He hasn't sobered up at this point. No one dared to call."

While talking, Dong Zijun heard a busy tone from the phone.

Ruan Bai rushed back to City A in a hurry, and before he could explain anything, he just said to the team leader Zhang Chao: "Sorry, something urgent happened at home, I have to go back."

Zhang Chao nodded quickly.

There is an emergency at home, who can stop it?

On the way back to City A, Ruan Bai couldn't sit still on the high-speed rail, and called Mu Shaoling's cell phone number from time to time.

shutdown.

...

the other side of the city.

The leaves in front of the villa have turned golden yellow, and there is even a circle of red, which is really beautiful. Three luxury cars drove up in the distance, the one in the front was exactly the same as the one in the back, and the one in the middle was slightly different. The person sitting in it was Lin Wenzheng, the secretary who came home from a meeting in Beijing.

Zhou Qing received the call and went downstairs with her daughter to answer it.

Lin Ning approached sensiblely and took the briefcase from his father: "Dad, the weather is getting colder. Is it cold in Beijing? You must pay attention to your health outside."

Lin Wenzheng nodded, and only asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I knew you were coming back, so I waited for you." Zhou Qing said, and handed her husband's coat to the nanny behind her.

The nanny took it away and hung it on a hanger.

Another nanny has already stepped forward, pouring hot porridge into everyone's bowls.

Lin Wenzheng was at home, and there was a newspaper on the breakfast table. He had the habit of reading newspapers when he was young, and all the men in the Lin family were like this.

Lin Ning saw that his father looked tired, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Mom and Dad, eat slowly, I'm done."

"How can you eat so little, you are not allowed to lose weight, be careful of your body." Zhou Qing thought that her daughter was afraid of getting fat, so she deliberately ate less.

"Before Dad came back, I was so hungry that I couldn't resist stealing a steamed bun in the kitchen." Lin Ning said in embarrassment, pouting.

Zhou Qing said she was naughty.

"Dad, shall I read the newspaper to you?" Lin Ning picked up the newspaper: "When I finish reading, you will finish eating too. Go back upstairs to rest earlier."

Zhou Qing was pleased, and praised her daughter's filial piety from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Ning read the newspaper carefully. After being adopted by the Lin family for so many years, she knew exactly what news section Lin Wenzheng liked to read.

After reading what Lin Wenzheng is interested in and concerned about, Lin Wenzheng's expression will change significantly. As Lin Ning read, he read the financial section.

There was news about Mu Shaoling on the financial section today. Lin Ning knew in advance that when the newspaper was delivered in the morning, she opened it first.

After confirming that there was news about Mu Shaoling, she decided to take the initiative to read the newspaper to Lin Wenzheng.

"The development and construction of the town is imminent, and the housing prices outside the fifth ring road to the east of City A are in a rare skyrocketing trend for many years. The composite development strategy model has benefited the economy of City A."

Lin Ning left this passage for the last to read, so that he could listen to his parents' discussion.

The newspaper also published a black-and-white photo showing the solemn opening ceremony of the township project development.

Mu Shaoling stood out in a suit and leather shoes among a group of elites and bureaucrats, and he was the most outstanding, showing a mature and steady businessman air all over his body.

Lin Ning became more and more fascinated by watching, and with his slender fingers, he stroked the strong body of the man in a suit in the newspaper photo.

"Ning Ning, what's the matter?" Zhou Qing saw that her daughter sitting beside her stared at the financial section for a long time, and even touched Mu Shaoling's blurred photo with her fingers.

They were all women, and they were all young. Zhou Qing instantly understood what her daughter was thinking.

"Nothing... I finished reading, let's go upstairs and read the script first." Lin Ning expected Zhou Qing to see what she was thinking, so he blushed, put down the newspaper, and ran away.

Lin Wenzheng was a typical straight man when he was young. He didn't understand women's psychology. He chased Zhou Qing. He just thought that Zhou Qing was good-looking, with a docile personality. Who wouldn't want a good-looking and gentle daughter-in-law? You will be my daughter-in-law.

Lin Wenzheng, who has reached middle age, doesn't even understand women's psychology. Seeing Lin Ning running away shyly, he looked at his wife Zhou Qing in confusion.

Zhou Qing sighed, "My daughter is interested in Yali and her son."

Only then did Lin Wenzheng understand. He took the newspaper, glanced at it, and said with satisfaction: "This matter is easy to handle. I will arrange it myself later. Our daughter has a good vision."

...

Arriving in City A, Ruan Bai first went to Dong Zijun to get the apartment key.

On the way to the apartment, Dong Zijun's words played back in Ruan Bai's mind: "To tell you the truth, everything about the boss's business is impeccable. It's really not suitable to raise children."

Opening the door of the apartment, Ruan Bai wanted to see if there were any clues in the apartment. Maybe the two little guys left a note and explained where they went?

But when she opened the door of the apartment and entered the room, she saw the man who should have been drunk and slept in the hotel, lying on the sofa, frowning, as if he had fallen asleep.

The man was lying in the arms of the drooling Ruan Ruan, tightly hugged by his arms, and Zhan Zhan was lying on the sofa on the other side, like an octopus...
