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

Chapter 266 Wake up again

Xu Wen inexplicably felt like he had survived a calamity.

Thinking back to the last time he woke up from darkness, his hands and feet were tied with ropes and he was lying on the bed unable to move.

But now he is lying in a warm ward.

The sun was shining outside the window, making him feel warm all over.

He felt like he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and at this moment he had a strange yet familiar feeling.

"It's over, you won't become a vegetable, right?" Seeing that Xu Wen didn't respond for a long time, Gu Xingruo stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.

The tears on the eldest lady's face had not been wiped clean yet, and her nose was sniffing.

Xu Wen finally realized that now was not the time to be sentimental as there was someone next to him.

"Can you please hope that I get better? I'm fine now," he corrected.

After saying this, Xu Wen tried to struggle to get up from the bed, but he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, which made him grimace in pain.

Seeing this, Gu Xingruo quickly reached out to help him, allowing him to barely sit against the wall.

"You really scared me. You don't even know how much blood you lost that night." She kept using her hands to calm herself down.

Seeing Xu Wen wake up, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as everyone is okay, it's good. As long as everyone is okay, it's good.

Gu Xingruo was afraid of disturbing the patient's rest, so after saying the last sentence, he sat quietly in the chair, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence.

She had a lot to say, but she was afraid that she would start making noise and disturb Xu Wen's rest.

So I can only bear it for now.

Finally, Xu Wen took the initiative to ask: "How long have I been unconscious?"

Gu Xingruo finally reacted. She quickly opened the cabinet next to the bed, took out her cell phone and handed it over.

"Today is the 22nd, and it's already the second day." She answered truthfully.

Ever since Xu Wen fell into a coma, she has been staying in another bed in the ward, and today she finally saw him wake up.

Xu Wen rubbed his aching head and looked at the time on his phone.

It is now 9:12 in the morning of January 22nd, and exactly eleven days have passed since he was imprisoned.

Those eleven days were so long that they seemed as long as his entire life.

I originally thought I would go to Tibet to relax, and cleanse my soul by looking at the blue sky, white clouds and prairie.

What I ended up seeing was white ceilings and dark rooms for eleven whole days.

There are now red marks on his hands caused by the silver bracelets.

After Xu Wen got the phone, in addition to checking the time, he also noticed the overwhelming amount of messages on it.

Many people contacted him during the time he was missing, but he did not respond to any of them.

Xu Wen took a deep breath and began to process the messy messages.

The first thing he looked at was the news from the studio, including messages from the work group and messages sent to him by Jia Mingliang.

Xiaozhi Search had a bug during this period, but the impact was not significant and it was fixed quickly.

Lianlian became an instant hit after it was launched on January 20th, with download volumes much higher than that of Xiaozhi’s newly launched search engine.

Xu Wen had originally been planning to wait until Valentine's Day to launch a big campaign, but he didn't expect it to become so popular so quickly right after it went online. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Are men and women of this era so thirsty? Has he underestimated the potential of dating apps?
When he was wondering, Jia Mingliang's chat records answered his doubts.

During the period when he was out of contact, Lan Qiusheng, as the person in charge, played a huge role.

She took it upon herself to use Xu Wen's photo as a signboard to attract female users, promising that as long as they downloaded Lianlian, there would be a chance to match with the "W Wen Senior" on Weibo.

The only question is what the specific probability is, and that is of course zero.

However, this does not prevent a large number of female users from downloading the software because of this gimmick.

At the same time, Lan Qiusheng also spent a lot of money on publicity and promotion, promoting their software, saying that there are a large number of female users, the proportion is as high as 80%!

After becoming a hype, Lianlian also launched the slogan: Matching in the same city, one-click love.

This was the advertising slogan Xu Wen had thought of before he left.

The combination of several conditions quickly produced a chemical reaction, and many people downloaded Lianlian as soon as it went online.

The next few days will be spent on the software’s seven-day retention and actual revenue-generating capabilities.

Xu Wen originally let Lan Qiu Sheng be the project leader just to solve her life problems and prevent her from wasting time as a tutor.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally brought someone back.

As for using his photos, just use them. Aren’t photos taken to be used?

Just remember to say sorry after using it.

Gu Xingruo leaned over and observed Xu Wen's every move.

Seeing that he was dealing with work, I couldn't help but say, "Everyone in our bar likes Lianlian very much. I asked everyone who has a smartphone to download it."

Xu Wen continued to look through the rest of the news and asked without raising his head, "What preferential terms did you offer?"

"Just download it and you'll get a free beer card for the whole night." She answered without even thinking.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. Wouldn't his words make it seem like Xu Wen's software wasn't very good?

So she made up for it by saying, "Of course, I also asked someone and they all really like Lianlian."

She made this up on the spot.

She has been staying in the hospital these two days and has no time to go back to the bar.

But even if she wasn't asked, the young lady was sure that what she said was true.

After all, how could anyone not like something made by Xu Wen?
If you don't like it, it's really tasteless.

"What else?" Xu Wen continued to ask. He felt that this was not all.

The cost of this promotion is really too expensive. How can ordinary companies dare to do this? Only young ladies can afford it.

Gu Xingruo knew that she couldn't hide it from Xu Wen, so she answered honestly: "I asked all the good-looking people in our bar to play Lianlian, and I'll give a bonus to anyone who seduces one."

Her tone was a little awkward, but she managed to say it.

In the first two days after Lianlian came online, the beauties in the bar were very efficient and everyone received bonuses several times.

If they are matched, they will say they are in love, but after talking for a few hours and getting the bonus, they will break up.

The handsome guy is slightly less efficient, but also much more successful.

When Xu Wen heard this method, he almost burst out laughing on the spot, but before he could laugh, the wound in his abdomen caused pain all over his body, so he had to hold back his laughter.

Gu Xingruo's behavior reminded him of the rumor that many years ago a certain Mr. Ma pretended to be a girl and chatted on QQ.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's stop all these activities. There's no need to do them now."

Seeing this, Gu Xingruo stood up hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll go call a doctor for you now!"

"It's okay, I'm really fine." He couldn't say that the wound hurt because he was laughing, right?
After finally persuading Gu Xingruo to calm down, he continued to read the following news.

Lan Qiu Sheng also sent him a lot of messages, but most of them were about work and school.

She said Yu Fengling wanted to ask him when he would return to his alma mater to cheer up the current senior high school students.

Xu Wen kept this matter in mind and decided to find time to call back.

In addition to these messages, Xu Wen also saw the chat between "himself" and his sister.

During the time he was imprisoned, Xia Ning had been chatting with Xu Ling under his identity and sending various travel photos.

It was as if the two of them had really set out on a trip to Tibet.

These news made Xu Wen realize that Xia Ning had maintained some rationality during these eleven days. She also knew that this state of life would not last long, so she maintained a false daily routine.

Xu Wen took a deep breath and exited the chat box. As soon as he exited, he saw that his chat with Xia Ning was also at the front.

The time finally stopped at the evening of January 18th.

After clicking in, he saw the following chat.

W: I have cut off contact with everyone, and from now on it’s just us.

Lemon Summer: Well, I will always be with you.

W: You are all I need.

Lemon Summer: Me too.

W: Let’s get married.

Lemon Summer: OK.

Xu Wen didn't know what kind of mood Xia Ning was in when she muttered to herself.

But after seeing it, he inexplicably felt a blockage in his heart.

The past few months of getting along are still vivid in my mind.

The happiness I once had ended up like this.

It's not just because Xia Ning is too extreme, he is also responsible.

Xu Wen exited the chat box and went to deal with the last 99+.

Gu Xingruo had been watching from the side, and when she saw Xia Ning's profile picture, she remained silent.

She also didn't know what Xu Wen thought of this crazy woman now.

But there was one thing she was sure of, the two would not be together anymore.

When she saw Xu Wen open her chat box, Gu Xingruo quickly said, "You don't need to look at mine, they are just small things. I just want to ask where you are."

At first she was just sharing her daily life, but as she shared more she realized something was wrong.

Although Xu Wen rarely replied to her, he never stopped replying.

So what happened next happened.

Xu Wen didn't listen to Gu Xingruo. He turned the pages and asked, "How did you find me?"

He was very curious about this matter.

Although what Xia Ning did was not perfect, it was still difficult for ordinary people to find them.

Maybe the only solution is to call the police.

But the one who came to rescue him was not a policeman, but Gu Xingruo.

If she hadn't appeared in time, Xu Wen felt that he might have been imprisoned for a long time.

Especially after the failure of the first attempt that night, Xia Ning would definitely tighten the restraints again, making it even more impossible to escape.

When Gu Xingruo heard Xu Wen asking about this, she instantly became alert.

"Actually, I noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but they all said that you were out playing and didn't have time to reply to messages. But I just felt that something was wrong. Something must have happened to you." She became more and more excited as she spoke.

The eldest lady told Xu Wen the entire process of the investigation.

After discovering something was wrong, the first flaw she found was that the departure date Xia Ning posted on her QQ space was wrong.

While they were investigating, a girl named Bai Banxia contacted them and revealed important information.

Xia Ning set off on the 12th and rented a house.

Gu Xingruo said that she immediately realized that there was something fishy about this matter. She explained the reason: "I know that what you value most is work. Lianlian will be online on the 20th. It's already the 19th. It's okay if you don't reply to my message, but how could you not even reply to work messages?"

"You misunderstood. In fact, what I value most is money." Xu Wen retorted.

He didn't expect that it was this reason that made Gu Xingruo discover something was wrong.

Of course, if she hadn't insisted on looking for him, he would still be imprisoned now.

Gu Xingruo was particularly happy after hearing Xu Wen's words.

I like money well!
The thing she has the most is money!

However, considering the current topic, she finally did not say something like "If you like money, you will definitely like me too."

Xu Wen is currently heartbroken due to a breakup, and no matter how stupid she is, she would not confess her feelings at this time.

Gu Xingruo continued to tell the rest of the story.

She said that after she found the clue, the first thing she did was check the surveillance footage from the train station on January 12.

Several people's eyes were about to jump out of their sockets when they realized that Xu Wen and Xia Ning never returned to the train station after they left.

At the same time, she also used her mysterious power to ask people to go to all the major rental agencies in Linjiang to investigate whether there was anyone named Xia Ning who had rented a house recently.

Gu Xingruo didn't have any hope at first. After all, Linjiang is so big. If the other person rented the house from a landlord, she really wouldn't be able to find out.

But several groups of people kept investigating until the evening, and finally she found it.

A girl named Xia Ning signed a contract with a rental agency on December 28th.

As soon as Xu Wen heard the date, he understood immediately.

It turns out that Xia Ning stayed at home after Christmas not because she was sick, but because she was preparing these things.

She was very well prepared. If it weren't for Gu Xingruo, Xu Wen felt that she would have to be locked up for at least a month or even two months before the families on both sides would notice something was wrong.

You said you were going to travel, why haven’t you come back during the New Year?
However, precisely because Xia Ning had little time to prepare, she could only look for an agent if she wanted to find a suitable house in a short period of time.

This allowed Gu Xingruo to get the clue.

After confirming the address, she didn't stop for a moment.

Bai Banxia has already alarmed the only person who keeps in touch with Xia Ning. Maybe after she knows someone is looking for her, she will move away quickly, and they will then be disappointed.

Gu Xingruo knew that she didn't have much time left.

She found a "professional" who could pick locks among her friends. After promising a high bounty, he brought his men directly to the rental house.

She was unsure at first, and had already made plans to recover and run away if something went wrong.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Xu Wen wearing a silver bracelet, which confirmed all her guesses.

Then came what happened that night.

It ended with a knife stuck in Xu Wen's stomach.

It was a professional killing knife. It drew blood very quickly and the person fainted before he could even struggle.

"After that, I will transfer you to the hospital I usually go to, and you will be recuperated here first." Gu Xingruo finally finished the whole story.

Xu Wen now felt complicated and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Everything seemed like a dream to him.

"Do my mother and Lingling know about this?" Xu Wen asked.

Gu Xingruo shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't alarm them from the beginning, and they don't know it now."

She knew that if it was Xu Wen, he would definitely not want to make his mother and sister worry.

Cao Yanan initially asked her to contact her family first, but she directly refused and insisted on conducting her own investigation.

Xu Wen nodded, feeling a little more relaxed.

Fortunately, my mother didn’t know, otherwise there would be no way to explain this matter.

After understanding the whole story, he still asked the question that Gu Xingruo had been avoiding: "Where is Xia Ning?"
