Chapter 48 Sophie Missing

"What the hell does this woman mean?"

After leaving Zhou Cheng's house, Shen Xiu kept thinking about what Zhou Cheng's last sentence meant.

Get yourself back to work first?

Should I go back to the company, or the Bureau of Foreign Affairs?

Also, what does the rest refer to?

Shen Xiu buried her head in deep thought while walking forward.

After a few minutes, I suddenly looked up and was dumbfounded.

There are a few magnificent villas scattered around, with green grass filling the gaps between the villas. The shrubs beside the walkway are pruned in a unique shape, and dozens of precious tree species are embellished in an ingenious layout.

In the distance, there is a small lake, with blue waves sweeping by with the breeze, creating circles of ripples.

Looking around, it looks like a quiet and elegant private park.

I have to say that the house is expensive for a reason, and the scenery is really pleasant.

But Shen Xiu's question now is, where is she?
No matter how you look around, these surrounding areas don't look like the road leading to the gate of the villa area.

Have you lost your way?
Unwilling to accept this fact, Shen Xiu's expression changed. After a battle between heaven and man, she decided to continue "walking" and look for a way out.

As for whether you can get out of this villa community covering an area of ​​[-] hectares, you can only leave it to fate.

An hour later, someone who was reported by a resident appeared outside the gate of the villa with a complexion like the bottom of a pot.

"Master, do I look that much like a thief?"

Shen Xiu cast a resentful glance back at the gate of this maze-like villa area, turned and left full of resentment.

With Zhou Cheng's "instructions", Shen Xiu naturally didn't dare to make up her own mind and started investigating the matter without authorization.

After struggling all afternoon, he still chose to go back to work at the company first.

"Those guys shouldn't be so daring, they just attacked me in broad daylight?"

The next day, Shen Xiu stepped into the company building with a normal face, but her heart was still beating.

The family was "patronized" by some people, and I haven't had time to tell the bureau, so I still don't know who did it.

When choosing one of the two yesterday afternoon, he originally intended to go to the Bureau of Strange Affairs to wait for Zhou Cheng to recover, but when he thought about the number of his absences.

It was inevitable that Zhou Chengqiu would have to settle the score later and had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.

After saying hello to the company's front desk, Shen Xiusi thought about it, and finally called Zheng Qinghe and told him about the robbery at home.

Zheng Qinghe only replied that there is no need to worry, and did not say how to arrange it, so he hung up the phone.

This made Shen Xiu feel restless, so she forced herself to comfort herself and suppressed this trouble in her heart for the time being.

Under a series of surprised gazes, Shen Xiu came to her desk and sat down.

Before his buttocks warmed up, Xiao Wang from the next station poked and leaned over.

"Brother Shen, why did you come to the company?"

Shen Xiu glanced at him sideways, saw the ghostly expression on his face, and said angrily:

"Why, do I need your approval before I come to the company?"

After hitting a soft nail, although Xiao Wang felt unhappy, he still didn't suppress his curiosity, and continued:
"Brother Shen, you haven't been here for the past few days. Everyone thought you were taken away by the Foreign Affairs Bureau for questioning. Unexpectedly, Brother Shen, you came today. It seems that those two people will be back soon."

Shen Xiu was originally not going to pay any more attention to this "junior" who was good at adapting to the wind, but she had no choice but to become more curious.

"them"?
Is there anyone else besides yourself who hasn't come these days?
Shen Xiu looked up and looked around.

In such a large office area, there are at least three NO.40 people.

At a glance, it's hard to tell who's missing.

Withdrawing her gaze, Shen Xiu turned her face sideways and asked:

"Besides me, who else didn't come?"

Generally speaking, people in the company will not absent from work unless they are forced to.

Even if something really happened, I would say hello and ask for leave in advance.

After all, it is better to ask for leave and deduct wages than to be reported for absenteeism and deduct bonuses.

Xiao Wang was stunned, as if he didn't expect Shen Xiu to ask this, and said in a strange tone:

"Who else is there, Wang Shufen, who has always been very withdrawn, and intern Sophie. After you were absent from work a few days ago, Brother Shen, the two of them have never been here again. Everyone is guessing whether you were arrested by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs. Please go drink tea, after all, brother Shen, your situation"

Speaking of this, Xiao Wang suddenly realized something, quickly shut up, and carefully looked at Shen Xiu, seeing that he was not angry, he didn't have the nerve to continue, chatted casually, and then went back to his desk.

After the annoying guy disappeared, Shen Xiu looked up again.

It is true that Wang Shufen and Sophie are not at their workstations.

Considering that Wang Shufen may have something to do with the old sect, she was not there because she was afraid of being targeted by the Foreign Affairs Bureau and ran away.

But this little girl, Sophie, is innocent and Zhou Cheng's friend, why is she absent from work?

Shen Xiu pondered for a while, but couldn't come up with a reason, so she put this matter aside and started to deal with the long backlog of documents.

Busy times always pass quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it was almost time to get off work.

After finishing processing the data on the last form, Shen Xiu leaned heavily on the backrest and stretched.

I glanced at the time on my computer and saw that I still had about ten minutes to go before I got off work.

"knock off!"

Zhou Cheng was recuperating at home without supervision, so Shen Xiu naturally wouldn't obediently sit on a chair in a daze.

Packed up the workstation, picked up the backpack and left.

In the next few days, Shen Xiu also spent time between the company and the haunted house.

During this period, the dark shadow in her mind has never been noisy, and the Old Sect and the Bureau of Strange Affairs have not bothered her.

Evil gods, horror movies, forbidden areas, everything seems to have never appeared before.

If it wasn't for the need to go back to Jiajia's place to spend the night every day, Shen Xiu would have been in a daze. Was it a nightmare a few days ago?

On this day, Shen Xiu came to the company according to her own schedule, and before she could put her bag away, the phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Zhou Cheng, and he had a bad premonition for no reason.

"What is this woman doing on the phone?"

Seeing the non-stop ringing mobile phone and feeling strange gazes from colleagues around her, Shen Xiu took the mobile phone to a quieter place and pressed the call button.

"Hello, Director Zhou, you"

"Sophie is missing."

Before Shen Xiu finished speaking, Zhou Cheng's indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shen Xiu vaguely felt a trace of worry hidden in her words.

Shen Xiu frowned slightly, and said:
"I heard from other people that she did not come to work recently, but are you sure she is missing instead of not coming for other reasons?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Shen Xiu, can you go to her house for me?"

Shen Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

Having known Zhou Cheng for so long, this was the first time he heard Zhou Cheng begging for help, and he had an indescribable feeling.

But from this point of view, it can also show that the relationship between Sophie and her may be better than he imagined.

Shen Xiu didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed.

Not to mention that Zhou Cheng is his partner, this is just a matter of little effort, and it will definitely help.

Just because of what Sophie told him before, he was going to do it.

After asking about Sophie's address, Shen Xiu took her backpack and left gracefully under the surprised eyes of Xiao Wang and others.
