Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 263 She's Still Looking

Gu Xingruo is in urgent need of all kinds of clues now.

When she saw it was Bai Banxia calling, she answered the call without thinking, without even considering what to say after the call was connected.

Fortunately, the other party had already helped her find a topic: "Hello? Is this Senior Sister Yang Yiyao? I want to ask, have you contacted Xia Ning now?"

Gu Xingruo took a long time to react before she remembered that she had lied that her name was Yang Yiyao in order not to arouse Bai Banxia's vigilance.

She coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, then asked knowingly, "Aren't you her friend? She didn't contact you?"

"I tried to call a few more times, but no one answered." Bai Banxia explained the reason.

She wasn't worried at first, after all, they usually kept in touch whenever they had the chance.

But this time it’s different. Xia Ning is far away in Tibet, so it’s inevitable that something unexpected will happen.

Gu Xingruo thought for a moment and said, "How about this, the school is also looking for her, why don't we go out and meet and see if there is any other way to contact her."

If we could call Bai Banxia out, we would definitely be able to get more useful information.

Some things can't be explained over the phone.

Bai Banxia hesitated for a moment, and just when Gu Xingruo thought she was going to fail, she said softly, "Okay."

After the two agreed on a meeting time and place, they hung up the phone.

Gu Xingruo also gave up the idea of ​​calling Xu Ling. It would be better not to alarm Xu Wen’s family first. After all, she didn’t understand what was going on.

Cao Yanan was sitting nearby and also listened to what was said on the phone.

"Are you really going to talk to that woman's friends?" She really admired her best friend's execution ability.

"Of course, maybe she really knows something." Gu Xingruo said as she fiddled with the phone again.

"But hasn't she seen you before? She thought your name was Yang or something. What if you meet her?" Cao Yanan questioned.

"Then of course we need to find the real Yang Yiyao." Gu Xingruo dialed the phone right after she finished speaking.

The young lady stated her request on the phone, but was rejected outright.

Yang Yiyao said that she had made appointments with several customers in her store today and had no time at all.

"Twenty thousand. I'm going to take over your store today. Come here quickly." Gu Xingruo said in an unhappy tone.

"Okay, boss. I'll be there right away." Yang Yiyao's tone changed instantly.

Before meeting Bai Banxia, ​​the two met with the former president of the Student Union of Linjiang University.

At Gu Xingruo's instruction, she specially wore a set of clothes that normal people would wear.

The red windbreaker paired with the light blue long skirt makes her look like a professional white-collar worker who has been in the workplace for many years. It would be even more suitable if she holds a glass of iced American coffee in her hand.

When Cao Yanan saw the person coming, she was immediately attracted by the huge body under the white shirt. Is this real?

She thought the name Yang Yiyao was made up by her best friend, but she didn't expect that such a person really existed.

"I need your help with something very important." Gu Xingruo went straight to the point.

She told him everything about the recent anomalies and her speculations.

Cao Yanan was listening nearby.

Although there are many abnormal things now, she still doesn't think it's a big deal.

Everyone is an adult.

Maybe Xia Ning and Xu Wen just wanted to have some time alone, so they didn't answer anyone's calls.

It's not as complicated as they think.

Cao Yanan originally thought that Gu Xingruo was the only abnormal one, and most of the others were normal.

As a result, the girl named Yang Yiyao nodded repeatedly in agreement after listening to it.

"Your suspicion is not without reason. I once did divination for Xu Wen and Xia Ning's relationship, and the third card he drew was the Three of Cups reversed." She analyzed seriously.

She said that under the card pattern at that time, the reversed Three of Cups represented conflict and breakup, and maybe something really happened between them.

After listening to this, Cao Yanan suddenly felt that the world was hopeless.

How come even divination has come out?
Can't there be more normal people in the world?

Yang Yiyao and Gu Xingruo had the same idea, and she also decided to join the search for Xu Wen.

Of course, she still accepted the 20,000 yuan. After all, one thing is one thing.

Seeing the two people so excited, Cao Yanan began to understand Xia Ning a little bit who was playing disappearing.

Maybe it's because I was harassed every day at school, so now that I finally have a holiday, I want to have a serious relationship.

If the investigation goes to the end, the result is that Xu Wen said: "Ah, we saw it, he just deliberately didn't answer the phone."

That would be too frustrating.

If there was another normal person, Cao Yanan might have been able to persuade her best friend.

But now with another weirdo, she has completely lost her voice.

Gu Xingruo went to the computer mall next door and bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones and a voice recorder for Yang Yiyao.

It made them seem like they were conducting espionage.

When the agreed time was almost approaching, the three of them went to the cafe together and waited for Bai Banxia to appear.

Yang Yiyao was in the room, holding a recorder in her hand and wearing a very small Bluetooth headset on her ear.

Gu Xingruo and Cao Yanan were in the dark, responsible for helping decide what to say and how to ask.

"Dong Yao, Dong Yao, I am Dong Guai. Please reply if you receive this. Please reply if you receive this." Gu Xingruo lay on the table.

Yang Yiyao frowned speechlessly: "Don't tell such a cold joke."

Bai Banxia didn't keep the three waiting for long and soon appeared in the cafe.

Gu Xingruo still could not forget that heart-wrenching night and was deeply impressed by this troublemaker.

She recognized Bai Banxia as soon as she appeared.

This girl had the same disgusting cold white skin as Xia Ning. Her appearance was barely pretty, with many acne scars on her face.

Gu Xingruo scolded Xia Ning again in her heart.

The eldest lady had an evil thought that the scheming bitch only wanted to be friends with Bai Banxia to highlight her own beauty.

After all, Yang Yiyao has rich social experience.

Without waiting for Gu Xingruo to remind her, she recognized that the person who walked in from the door was probably the person she was waiting for.

"You must be Xia Ning's friend." She took the initiative to greet her.

Bai Banxia was obviously frightened by this mature aura. She sat opposite timidly and greeted him.

The conversation between the two soon got down to business.

Yang Yiyao found an excuse very naturally. She said that Xia Ning participated in the school debate competition, and now the school has selected her to participate in the provincial competition, but they cannot contact her.

Cao Yanan hid in the dark and watched silently. She knew how Gu Xingruo became like this.

The silly young lady from the past is gone, and she has even learned to lie.

If she was surrounded by people like Xu Wen or Yang Yiyao, would she not be able to learn?

Gu Xingruo was also listening, but she hadn't found a breakthrough yet.

The conversation on the other end continued.

Yang Yiyao was very patient. She asked Bai Banxia if there was any other way to contact Xia Ning. "I have tried all the methods, but I can't contact her. Now the only thing left is to call her parents." She replied in a melancholy tone.

My best friend was fine a while ago, but suddenly I couldn’t contact her anymore.

"Why don't you try calling her parents?" Yang Yiyao suggested.

Bai Banxia only had the phone number of Xia Ning's mother, He Shujin, but she was a little afraid of that woman, so she never called her.

But now it seems that this is the only way.

Bai Banxia took out her cell phone and after hesitating for a long time, she finally called He Shujin.

She asked cautiously on the phone, followed by a continuous “hmm hmm”.

After hanging up the phone, her originally nervous expression eased a lot.

"Her mother said she was traveling in Tibet. She sent her photos the day before yesterday and said she would help contact Ningning." Bai Banxia was completely relieved after learning that her best friend was fine.

When Xia Ning comes back, she will ask her why she didn't answer the phone.

"Look, they are traveling." Cao Yanan slumped down in his seat.

Real life is not a TV series, there are not so many unexpected things.

If the call doesn’t go through, it means the person probably won’t answer, so just don’t call again.

She thinks Gu Xingruo has finally given up this time?
"I heard that she went out for a trip on the 14th. It's already the 19th, so she should be back soon." Yang Yiyao sighed, pretending to be indifferent.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Banxia immediately retorted: "It wasn't the 14th. She left on the 12th, and I helped her pack up."

As soon as the number "twelve" appeared, Gu Xingruo's nerves instantly tensed up.

That scheming bitch really did tamper with her and Xu Wen’s departure time.

The photos posted on QQ space are completely for the purpose of confusing people around you.

Gu Xingruo recalled an incident that happened when they were in high school and had something to do with their math teacher Zhou Xiaoji.

If the principal hadn't been so determined to smooth things over, Xia Ning might have taken advantage of the situation to replace the teacher.

Although the matter was resolved in the end because of the appearance of her father, she also witnessed how scheming this girl was.

There is no way she could change her departure date without a reason.

Even though Xia Ning's mother said that she and Xia Ning had been in contact and that Xia Ning had sent her travel photos, she still didn't believe it.

If the departure date can be changed, then the travel photos can be changed as well.

Gu Xingruo also understood Xu Wen. No matter where he went, it was impossible for him to not reply to anyone's messages.

He is a person who values ​​work and his career more than anything else.

Lianlian has just come online. This is his hard work and he will definitely not abandon it.

"Please ask her for me if Xia Ning has behaved in any unusual way recently, such as suddenly changing her travel destination, or planning to go to some remote place." Gu Xingruo whispered into the Bluetooth headset.

It was at times like this that her mind started to work faster.

Since Xia Ning is still in contact with her mother, it means that she has not had an accident. The only person who could have had an accident could be Xu Wen.

Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart.

Eloping? Imprisonment? Abuse? Or murder of passion?

All kinds of bad words popped up in her mind, and she had already thought of all the worst possible outcomes.

Perhaps Xu Wen had already been killed by Xia Ning.

Four seniors in the studio recommended her an anime called "School Days".

In the finale, the heroine chopped off the hero's head and carried him on the boat.

She regretted it more and more now. If she had known earlier, she should have been tougher. She shouldn't have waited so long for Xia Ning and Xu Wen to break up.

If anything really happened to him, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

After hearing the voice in the Bluetooth headset, Yang Yiyao said, "Number 12? I saw number 14 on her ticket. Is she going somewhere else?"

As she spoke, she stirred the coffee in the cup. Her every move showed laziness, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

"Really? Then they might have rented a house first. You know, young couples are like this. They can't wait to be together every day, and it's inconvenient with parents around." Bai Banxia teased.

She felt much more relaxed since she finished the phone call.

She said it simply, but this sentence instantly hit Gu Xingruo's fragile nerves.

"Hurry up and ask her where she rented the house!" she said excitedly.

Yang Yiyao repeated the exact words, but the answer she got was "I don't know".

"Ningning only told me that she used her royalties to rent a house and she won't live at home anymore. I don't know where she is now," Bai Banxia explained.

Gu Xingruo already knew everything she wanted to know.

Although there was no evidence, she was now completely certain that Xu Wen was being held captive in that rental house by Xia Ning.

This is why he has never contacted the outside world.

Gu Xingruo waved her hand and stood up from the chair: "Let's go and find the surveillance footage from January 12."

Not knowing it was surveillance, she also planned to use the mysterious power to investigate the rental agency.

Someone recently signed a contract with a woman named Xia.

Cao Yanan didn't have the chance to speak at all, she could only follow closely behind.

As soon as the two got up, Bai Banxia saw a familiar figure.

Before she could react, Yang Yiyao on the opposite side also stood up and said, "Thank you, little sister. Thank you for the clues you provided. We will definitely find Xia Ning."

No matter how stupid Bai Banxia was, she could now see that they were in the same group.

Although she didn't know what happened, Yang Yiyao's words made her feel like she had said something she shouldn't have.

She wanted to ask what was going on, but the people had already left the coffee shop.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart sometimes." Yang Yiyao said with emotion.

Gu Xingruo had no intention of responding.

She urged Yang Yiyao to drive her car quickly: "We may not have much time. Xia Ning will probably know that we are looking for her soon."

After some research, Xu Wen already knew how to remove the decorations on the bed.

This way he could free himself from the chain around his neck.

But he did not run away immediately because he was still wearing silver bracelets on his hands and feet, which made it difficult for him to move. It would be bad if Xia Ning gave him another shock.

There is only one chance, and all he can do now is wait quietly.

But the problem now is that Xia Ning doesn’t sleep at all. He fell asleep once, but she still didn’t sleep.

But Xu Wen knew that she would not be able to bear it sooner or later, and the next time they did something together would be the opportunity.

What he needed to do now was to figure out where the door key was. Xia Ning would always lock the door with the key, so he couldn't get out without the key.

While waiting for an opportunity, Xu Wen planned to give her one last psychological counseling to see if the issue could be resolved in a more peaceful way.

Maybe after talking for a while, she will be able to resolve her worries?

During a meal, Xu Wen took the initiative to ask: "How long have we lived here?"
