Outside the doctor's office.

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "This is the first time in my life I've ever heard of someone starving themselves to the point of not having their period."

Sun Mengjia chuckled: "Damn! I think it's pretty good, at least I won't suffer every month."

"Now look what's happened! I get my period every month, and it's such a heavy flow! I'm seriously speechless!"

"I used to be able to use 180 without any problems, but now even 240 and 360 leak like crazy. I have to use sanitary pads. I'm so fed up! They're like diapers, so ugly."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at her.

"Let's go, call Xiaoxue, let's go have a big meal."

Sun Mengjia: "I want to eat king crab!"

Jiang Chen: "Crabs are considered a cold food, and doctors have said we shouldn't eat them."

Sun Mengjia: "What do you know? Regular crabs are regular crabs, and king crabs are king crabs. They sell for so much for a reason. Besides, even if I have terrible menstrual cramps, even if it kills me, I'm still going to eat king crab today!"

However, the two chatted and laughed as they arrived at the rest area.

The long, straight black hair that used to sit here is gone.

"Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Sun Mengjia looked around, then took out her phone and sent a voice message: "Where the hell have you been?"

After waiting for half a minute with no response, Sun Mengjia didn't take it seriously and made another call.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Sorry..."

Sun Mengjia frowned: "Damn it, my phone died at this crucial moment. Isn't this going to ruin my chance to eat hairy crabs?"

Jiang Chen patted Sun Mengjia on the shoulder: "When are you going to change your habit of swearing casually?"

"She's still your best friend, and her phone was already dead, yet you're still yelling at her."

"Go to the bathroom and check. Take some toilet paper and sanitary napkins with you. I have them with me. She doesn't have anything."

Sun Mengjia rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen: "You think you're so thoughtful, trying to show off your abilities, huh?"

But the next second, he chuckled and said, "If I go to the bathroom without toilet paper, will you have someone bring me some?"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at her and waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost!"

"Okay!" Although Jiang Chen didn't reply, she knew his answer; she just wanted to ask.

"Xiaoxue, I've brought you some paper. Where are you?"

However, no one responded.

Sun Mengjia pulled at the door, and after being scolded, she came out grumbling, "Old man, nobody's here."

"Where the hell did that girl run off to?"

"You're an idiot too, making me deliver toilet paper to her. I knocked on every single stall and got yelled at. How are you going to take the blame for this?"

Before Jiang Chen could answer, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I know why you brought me here for a medical checkup."

"Damn it, you're using your parents as a cover."

"The way you're looking at me and Xiaoxue is so intense, it's like you're trying to get inside us."

"Don't worry, once the results come out, I'll let you have your fun in the car first."

Jiang Chen's face turned bright red: "You're talking nonsense!"

"I didn't! I didn't! You're slandering me!"

However, all she got in return was a cold shoulder from Sun Mengjia.

Jiang Chen coughed lightly: "Well, let's go to the nurses' station and ask where Xiaoxue is."

Because it is a private, high-end health checkup center, there are not many customers, and the nurses provide excellent service.

There was indeed a nurse who saw Zhao Xue.

"Oh, that beautiful woman, I just saw her answer a phone call and then rush downstairs."

"Did they go downstairs?"

The two exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss.

Fortunately, there were nurses guarding the hospital elevators and elevator entrances, and they knew I had gone to the first floor as soon as I asked.

Neither of them spoke, and they simply went downstairs in silence.

Once they reached the lobby on the first floor, looking at the luxuriously decorated hospital, Sun Mengjia asked, "Old man, where did Xiaoxue go? Who called her?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

His hands were clenched tightly, clearly indicating some nervousness.

After all, everything was fine a second ago, but after receiving a phone call, he rushed downstairs without even saying hello, and his phone was turned off. It was clearly not a good thing.

I can't exactly go pick up takeout, can I?

Jiang Chen didn't have time to respond to Sun Mengjia. He looked at the nurse at the elevator entrance on the first floor and asked, "Excuse me, have you noticed where that girl wearing a white down jacket, jeans, and a high ponytail went?"

"It looks like she ran out crying."

She even cried?

Jiang Chen's unease grew stronger.

Sun Mengjia panicked too.

She kept asking Jiang Chen and Sun Mengjia where they could go, and who had made the call, offering her own guesses.

Jiang Chen didn't say a word, and immediately went to the entrance to ask the security guard.

The security guard also said he remembered her; she ran out crying. He even checked, but she didn't take a taxi and he didn't know where she went.

Sun Mengjia stamped her feet anxiously, "It's all over, it's all over, something must have happened to that brat!"

The two rushed out of the hospital gate, looking at the bustling streets and the vast sea of ​​people outside, but there was no sign of Zhao Xue.

The phone is switched off, and the person is nowhere to be found.

This is too dangerous for a girl who has no relatives or friends in this city and has no money.

"What should we do? Do you think it might be her uncle coming to see her?"

"Or do you have some kind of enemy?"

"That's impossible. Little Snowman is perfectly fine, and he's never been here before. How could he possibly run into an enemy here?"

Jiang Chen patted Sun Mengjia on the back and comforted her, "Don't panic, maybe it's just her uncle calling to threaten her again."

Of course, these were just Jiang Chen's words to comfort Sun Mengjia.

In his view, the probability of this is not high.

After all, the fact that Sun Mengjia had the courage to run away from home proves that she is not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated by her uncle.

So what if her uncle comes?

Even if they weren't her biological parents, the key point is that she's already an adult. Even if they were her biological parents, she can't go back even if she doesn't want to.

At this point, Sun Mengjia said, "You don't know, her uncle has called her a lot lately. He even tried to appeal to her emotions, saying she's unfilial and that she doesn't care about her grandparents or anything like that."

"Xiaoxue looks tough, but she has actually cried secretly in bed a few times."

"And, it seems, I'm just guessing."

"It seems there was compensation when her parents died, but her grandparents, uncles, and aunts kept it from her and pocketed the compensation."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about these things."

At this point, there's no need to judge how bad her uncles, aunts, grandparents, or other relatives are, nor is there any need to analyze how much she has been wronged.

The most important thing is to find the person as soon as possible.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen quickly found the security guard and asked to check the surveillance footage.

First, we need to know who made the call and what the conversation was about in order to analyze the situation.

However, when they arrived at the monitoring room, they were stopped by security guards.

"I'm sorry, sir and madam, the surveillance footage involves the privacy of other clients. Without police permission, we cannot allow private individuals to view it."

"Privacy my ass!" Sun Mengjia cursed in exasperation, "The person's disappeared, what privacy are you talking about?!"

"Calm down!"

Jiang Chen grabbed the enraged Sun Mengjia and decisively pulled out his phone to call the police.

Not to mention that this is a hospital, which involves too much privacy.

Even if it's just an ordinary restaurant, if they don't let you check, there's nothing you can do.

Moreover, calling the police is definitely much better than searching aimlessly on your own.

However, upon hearing that she was a 20-year-old girl with several years of work experience, the other party immediately refused after only ten minutes of contact.

They even felt that Jiang Chen was taking up public resources and advised him to calm down and go to the places he frequented to look for him, saying that maybe he was just having a meal.

Sun Mengjia was about to start cursing on her phone.

But Jiang Chen stopped him again.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen tried to persuade her while asking for Sun Mengjia's phone: "Uncle Hat is right. If an adult goes missing for ten minutes, and the police are sent to look for them, we can't even say what happened. It's really putting them in a difficult position."

However, Jiang Chen did not give up seeking help from the police.

After all, Qizhou is a large place, and the fact that the man with long, straight hair deliberately hung up the phone, leaving him to find it himself, was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, Jiang Chen directly said that his phone was lost and suspected that it was stolen by the woman with long black hair, and hoped that they could help him review the surveillance footage for evidence.

This time, just three minutes later, Uncle Hat arrived at the police station at the hospital entrance.

Sun Mengjia was completely impressed by Jiang Chen's actions.

"Damn, old man, you've got guts!"

However, Jiang Chen wasn't very happy.

It's easy to trick Uncle Hat into checking the surveillance footage, but even if you do check the footage, you might not be able to find out where the long-haired girl went.

Without long, straight black hair, everything is for naught.
