Chapter 9: I will follow you to the end of the world Yu Nansheng03
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?" I looked at my watch.
It was rare that Lu Shuang had a day off after finishing a case. She felt that she had nothing to wear, so she asked me to go shopping with her. But it was almost half an hour after the agreed time, and she hadn't shown up yet. Could she have overslept and hadn't gone out yet?
Or is it that the newspaper has some urgent matters and needs to work overtime?
I called Qi Qi.
"Did Lu Shuang go to the newspaper office?"
There was the sound of flipping through documents, and Qi Qi said, "No, isn't she allowed to take a day off today? She definitely won't come. No, didn't you two go shopping together? She hasn't arrived yet?"
"Well, OK, I'll call her."
"good."
I was just about to call Lu Shuang when I saw her running towards me.
I frowned, pointed at my watch and shouted at her: "Miss, do you know what time it is? You are half an hour late!"
She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just received a call with a tip, so I went to the contact to inquire about the situation. Sorry, it's an occupational disease."
When she said "occupational disease" her tone was particularly proud, I actually calmed down, sighed, and said, "Then why don't you treat me to lunch later? I'm starving! It was you who said you would come out early, but I didn't even have breakfast, and you're still late!"
"Okay."
When we were shopping, I felt that Lu Shuang was a little absent-minded. I picked out clothes for her, and she bought them directly when she saw that the prices were about right.
"Your salary at the newspaper is not low now, and your mother's condition has improved, so you should not be short of money. Why do you care so much about the price?" I asked her.
Lu Shuang bit the straw and said, "You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage the household. I still have to feed my brother! My little one is still growing up, so I have money to buy him some delicious food. He can just wear casual clothes. Besides, why would I wear such nice clothes when I go to work? By the way, let's eat at home later. I decided to cook for you to make amends."
"Okay, okay, I'm in for a treat today. Let's go buy some groceries now, otherwise it will be too late." I excitedly pushed Lu Shuang towards the market.
To be honest, this was the first time I stood in a vegetable market in all the years I had lived here. I felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Watching Lu Shuang buying groceries while telling me skillfully what I should do, I also cooperated like a good student, asking from time to time what I should pay attention to.
“Why are you so nervous? Even if the food you cook is not tasty, no one will blame you!” Lu Shuang glanced at me and slapped my fingers wrapped in plastic bags.
I said, “It’s so rich.”
As soon as she walked out of the vegetable market, Lu Shuang's cell phone rang. She answered the call for a few seconds, then frowned and replied, "I'll be right back."
She looked at me apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, please sort the ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. I'll come and teach you tomorrow! That's it, I'm leaving now!"
I nodded, told her to be careful, and then walked towards my home.
This season is the most comfortable. I walked slowly to the door of my house. As soon as I opened the door, my cell phone suddenly rang.
"What's this……"
There was a text message on the screen, but there were no words, only garbled characters.
I frowned and looked at the sender. It was Lu Shuang. Didn't she just leave? She should be at the factory she was visiting secretly at this time. How could she have time to send such a text message? Could it be that the phone was not put away properly and it was automatically sent?
For some reason, I felt a little uneasy and always felt that something was going to go wrong.
I called Lu Shuang, but no one answered.
I put my things in the house, then went out and hailed a taxi to go look for her.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" I muttered, and noticed that I had arrived near the newspaper office.
I gritted my teeth and shouted to the driver to stop.
I was standing on the street corner making a phone call, but Lu Shuang didn't answer the call, and later her phone was turned off.
Something must have happened!
I got up and ran to the newspaper office. When I pushed open the door, the people who were busy inside were stunned when they saw it was me.
Qi Qi tilted her head and held the phone between her legs, not knowing what she was saying. When she saw me, she paused, quickly hung up the phone, walked over to me, held my hand, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you here at the newspaper office at this time?"
She felt the coldness of my fingertips, frowned, and asked me what was wrong.
"Something might have happened to Lu Shuang. What about Han Shao? What news is their group following recently?"
After hearing what I said, Qi Qi realized the seriousness of the matter and took me to Han Shao's office.
"Why are you here?" Han Shao was writing a report and was surprised to see me.
"Something happened to Lu Shuang."
I kept calling Lu Shuang, and by the time I arrived at the newspaper office, I was already certain that something had happened to Lu Shuang.
I briefly explained the situation and then asked Han Shao, "Which factory did you visit secretly recently? I only heard Lu Shuang say what kind of factory it was, but she didn't tell me the details."
Han Shao actually didn't know either: "No, Lu Shuang has been working on new topics on her own since she came back. I haven't finished my own topic yet, so how can I have time to contact other lines? However, Lu Shuang has always been following the line on ×× Street. I know she always goes there. If it's ×× Street, there aren't many factories that can be named."
I was standing in the tea room, feeling cold hands and feet, and suddenly thought of someone.
"Xia Xingfeng, do you know what news Lu Shuang is following recently?"
I got the exact answer, my eyes lit up, I said "thank you" and quickly hung up the phone. At this time, I was in a panic and forgot to ask Xia Xingfeng to save people first.
When I left the newspaper office, I didn't see Qi Qi and Han Shao, so I could only pull someone over at random: "Please tell Han Shao and Qi Qi that I went to this place, thank you." I gave her the address that I had just copied down, and without time to think about it, I turned around and left.
