Chapter 78 Missing
"Chen Zhu, are you here to pick up Mr. Shang?"

Wen Zhi was not surprised when she saw Chen Jinhuai walking towards her.Although Shang Hexing said that coming to Jingci Temple that day was his personal itinerary, it was impossible for his assistant and secretary not to know about his itinerary!

"Ms. Wen, I'm sorry to disturb you." Chen Jinhuai was out of breath as he walked hastily, and looked very anxious: "I am indeed here to pick up Mr. Shang, but I can't even contact Mr. Shang now."

Wen Zhi asked: "Is there no one answering his phone?"

Chen Jinhuai nodded: "Yes, I have called many times, but Mr. Shang's phone has been unreachable."

That is, losing contact.

Wen Zhi told Chen Jinhuai very calmly: "Mr. Shang lives in a dormitory, and that dormitory is the place closest to the back mountain in the temple. The signal is often poor. I know it well. It is normal to be unable to contact him for a while. Don't worry. , let’s do this, I’ll take you to the dormitory to find him.”

"Then I'll bother you, Miss Wen." Chen Jinhuai was very grateful.

Wen Zhi turned around and said, "Come with me."

Chen Jinhuai followed immediately.

In fact, Wen Zhi never saw Shang Hexing again after returning from Back Mountain.The reason why she believed he was in the dormitory was because she had not seen him leave the temple this afternoon.

It was only when I arrived at the dormitory that I realized he was not there.

The room he lived in was as neat and empty as Wen Zhi had seen when he took a peek in the morning.

"Ms. Wen, I don't mean to question it, I just want to confirm with you, does Mr. Shang really live here?"

Behind him, Chen Jinhuai asked.

Wen Zhi was obviously a little confused: "He lives here because he and I are..."

Chen Jinhuai asked: "What is it?"

Wen Zhi pointed to her room: "It's the opposite door, but I'll move in first. Meng Fan originally lived here."

Chen Jinhuai said he understood, but then he became worried: "Mr. Shang is not in the dormitory, so where will he go?"

Naturally, Wen Zhi didn't know where Shang Hexing was, so he had to say, "Let's look for it first. Jingci Temple is very big and there are several eminent monks who have attained enlightenment. Maybe Mr. Shang went to seek help from the eminent monks."

Chen Jinhuai was in trouble.

Wen Zhi noticed this and asked in a low voice: "Is there no extra manpower?"

Chen Jinhuai told Wen Zhi the truth: "This trip to Linshi is Mr. Shang's private trip, not a public trip. Only Secretary Xu and I are accompanying him in a low-key manner."

Wen Zhi asked: "What about Secretary Xu?"

"Secretary Xu is in the car outside the temple."

Wen Zhi then said: "Chen Zhu, please call Secretary Xu in first and look for him together. I am familiar with the temple. I will go to the living room to ask first."

Chen Jinhuai nodded: "Excuse me, Miss Wen."

"fine."

After Chen Jinhuai turned around and left, Wen Zhi immediately went back to the house to get his cell phone.

She called Shang Hexing, and the situation was the same as what Chen Jinhuai said, but the other party couldn't get through for the time being.

Wen Zhi dialed a few more times, but still couldn't get through.

She looked anxious and dialed several times to no avail, so she had to rush to the living room.

She asked all the monks she met, but no one had seen Shang Hexing this afternoon.

At the end of the question, Wen Zhi's delicate brows were covered with a layer of gloom that could not be dispersed.She couldn't figure out why Shang He suddenly lost contact, but suddenly, a terrible idea came to her mind.

He is in a high position, and some people are watching his right and wrong, and some are watching his life.

Could it be that his private itinerary was exposed?Once this idea pops up, it's hard not to think deeper.

outside the hospital.

Kong Ci came to sweep the floor with a broom. When he looked up and saw Wen Zhi coming down the steps anxiously, he came over with the broom and asked her, "Are you looking for the donor opposite you?"

When Wen Zhi heard Kong Ci's words, he came back to his senses instantly, his eyes filled with hope: "Have you seen him?"

She asked about a dozen monks back and forth, but none of them had seen Shang Hexing in the afternoon. Now that Kongci took the initiative to ask her, Wen Zhi thought he had seen him!
Of course—

Kongci shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the donor this afternoon."

Wen Zhi felt disappointed: "Then where will he go..."

Kong Ci said: "I saw him in the morning."

Wen Zhi pursed her lips and had no reaction, because she had also seen Shang Hexing in the morning.

But Kongci added: "The donor asked me about your whereabouts in the morning. I told him, and he went to the back mountain to look for you. Later I saw you coming back, but he didn't come back."

Wen Zhi was startled: "...He didn't come back from the back mountain?"

Kong Ci put down the broom, held it with one hand, and then looked up at the sky: "It's getting so late, I think he should have come back, but I didn't see him come back with my own eyes. Maybe he is now... Eh? You Where to go?"

Before Kong Ci finished speaking, Wen Zhi had already walked away, leaving only an afterimage.

Kong Ci also discovered that the direction Wen Zhi was going was towards the back mountain.

The dusk was low, and everything under sight was gray.

On his way to the back mountain, Wen Zhi was stopped by a monk: "Donor, it's very late now and it's not appropriate to go to the back mountain."

Wen Zhi looked anxious: "I'm looking for someone. I have a friend. He went to the back mountain and never came back."

The monk first calmed Wen Zhi's anxious mood, and then asked: "When did the donor's friend go up the mountain?"

Wen Zhi recalled the time: "...around eleven o'clock in the morning."

When the monk heard that it happened in the morning, he said to Wen Zhi: "Since it is morning, your friend must have left the back mountain and gone home."

"But I can't contact him, and his friends can't contact him either." Wen Zhi looked anxiously towards the back mountain.

The monk still stopped Wen Zhi from going up the back mountain: "Donor, it is very dangerous for you to go to the back mountain alone. Let's do this. The young monk will inform the abbot of the matter first and let the abbot make a decision."

Only the abbot has the right to send people to search for such a major matter.

But Wen Zhi couldn't wait for a moment now.

Just at this time, Chen Jinhuai arrived with Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He looked quite stylish. When Chen Zhu walked next to him, he looked like one of his subordinates.

After Secretary Xu came over, he glanced at Wen Zhi and said nothing.Chen Jinhuai on the side saw her anxious look and immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Wen, Mr. Shang will be fine."

Wen Zhi sighed: "He went to the back mountain in the morning. If he hasn't come back now, then he will now..."

Chen Jinhuai naturally thought of this, and he said with a calm expression: "Please, Miss Wen, please wait here for support. Secretary Xu and I will go to the back mountain first."

Wen Zhi immediately said: "I'll go too!"

Chen Jinhuai shook his head and said in a solemn tone: "No, Miss Wen, Mr. Shang is not here now, we have to ensure your safety."

Wen Zhi pursed his lips and said nothing more.

While Chen Jinhuai turned around to communicate and negotiate with the monk, Wen Zhi's figure disappeared silently into the dark night.

Secretary Xu's sharp eyes noticed that Wen Zhi had left, but he did not stop him or make a sound.When Chen Jinhuai turned around after negotiating and didn't see Wen Zhi, and asked him why he didn't notice the person, Secretary Xu said nothing, but looked weird.
