Chapter 33 The Tranquility Before the Storm

Perhaps this typhoon "Haipa" is too strong, and even Guangzhou has been affected. The distance horizon is flashing from time to time, as if it is about to tear the dark night sky apart.

While opening the software, I drove another bottle of beer, lit the cigarette, and then started searching for high-speed rail tickets to D City. Sure enough, all the cars after nine o'clock had stopped selling. It was now 7:30, and there was the last bus at 8:15. I thought for a while, and my fingers still clicked on the words "Confirm Payment", booked the ticket, and then went to the closet to tidy up a few pieces of clothing and put them in my backpack, put on my shoes and went out.

When I left downstairs, it was already raining outside. I looked up at the dark and invisible sky. Maybe a storm was coming... I didn't have much time left for me, so I had to rush to the high-speed rail station as soon as possible.

At this time, Yang Fan, who happened to come back from get off work, was carrying a bag and a shopping bag in his hand. He greeted me and laughed and said, "Cheng Ting, such a coincidence, have you just come back from get off work?"

"I have something to go out. It's still uncertain how long it will take. I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first." I patted his shoulder and prepared to turn around and leave.

"No, where are you going? A typhoon is coming soon. Although we are not logging in here, there must be strong winds and heavy rains." Yang Fan grabbed my hand and said anxiously.

After pondering for a while, I still told Yang Fan in a long story: "Su Jing hasn't contacted her for a week, and you also know how big this typhoon is... So, I have to go to D City to find her."

Yang Fan's expression also became extremely serious. He thought for a while, looked at me and said, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll clean up immediately, I'll go with you."

I quickly refused and said, "No, this typhoon landed directly on City D. We all know how dangerous it will be. I can't implicate you. Besides, you have just found a job and went to work for a few days. I have to wait for the typhoon to dissipate before I can come back, so you can't go with me."

"It's time. You can find it again after work is gone, but some things are gone, and it's really gone... Wait for me, I'll put my backpack back and book a ticket immediately and go with you."

He was about to turn around and walk upstairs, but this time it was my turn to hold him up: "Yang Fan, listen to me, really, my buddy knows you are for my own good, but you can't go with me."

The rain was getting heavier and heavy, and the dense raindrops wet our clothes. Yang Fan wiped off the rain from his face and said ruthlessly: "Then you go there first, and I will come to you immediately after the typhoon passes. During this period, you must keep in touch with me... Also, you must take Su Jing well for me and come back with me. Have you heard it?"

"Yeah, sure!"

There is no need to say anything more at this moment. I stopped for a while and walked out of the road to stop a taxi and headed to the high-speed rail station.

On the way, I first sent a message to Xu Mengjun, telling her that I had bought a high-speed rail ticket to D City, and now I am on the way to the high-speed rail station. She told me to be safe and just contact her when I got there. Then, I sent a message to Han Yaojing, saying that I would take three days off. Han Yaojing asked me where I was going, but I didn't say it, but she called me directly.

"Cheng Ting, due to the typhoon these days, there will be heavy rainstorms in Guangzhou. Where do you want to take leave?" As soon as the phone was connected, Han Yaojing went straight to the point and asked me.

"I..." I hesitated for a while, but finally gritted my teeth and confessed: "I have urgent matters and need to go to City D, so I have to take leave."

Han Yaojin quickly denied my words and said excitedly: "City d? Go back now at this time... No! You can't go back at this time. It's too dangerous. If you have anything to do, you can't wait for the typhoon to pass before going?!"

"I can't contact my girlfriend. She may...is missing. At this time, the typhoon happened to come, but I couldn't take care of so much. I have to go back to find her."

"No, I am your boss, if you dare..."

For the first time, I hung up the phone call from Han Yaoxian because I had made a decision, and it would be useless to say more. The worst consequence is to resign.

......

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, I finally returned to the once familiar city D, but it seemed that it did not welcome me very much. When I left outside the high-speed rail station, the storm wet my clothes for a short while. The umbrella could not work, but fortunately, I stopped a taxi, but the price at this time increased a lot of money than before.

If it were the case, I would definitely not be able to withstand the driver's behavior in the past, but now the bad weather and I'm in a hurry, so I don't show any dissatisfaction.

On the way back to school, the prosperity of the streets had already left the scene in this storm, and every household had closed their doors and windows to prepare to fight against this super typhoon.

Not long after, the car finally took me to school, and I saw a petite figure standing at the security booth at the school gate. I got out of the car, opened the umbrella and ran towards her.

"Are you stupid? I didn't let you come here to wait, even if I told you to wait."

"What did you say? The wind is too strong and you can't hear it!" Xu Mengjun handed me a raincoat while speaking, "If you put this on, the umbrella is useless."

I nodded: "Okay, let's go in quickly." Then I put on my raincoat and entered the school with Xu Mengjun.

Finally we stopped in the school cafeteria because now it is only here for talking. I took off my raincoat and asked, "How is it? Is there any news about Su Jing?"

Xu Mengjun raised the back of her hand and wiped off the rain from her bangs, and replied in a lossy tone: "No...what do you think you should do..." Her voice gradually became choked, and she sat on the chair with some weakness.

"Have you seen the school's surveillance?"

"No, the typhoon day has been on holiday, and now the students who are staying in school are just here... In fact, it doesn't make much sense to watch the school's surveillance, because we don't know where Jing'er finally went after seeing it. However, I have posted messages in the school's post bar and many groups. If anyone sees it, I will contact me."

I rubbed my eyebrows and took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, but the cigarettes in the box were all wet, which made me even more irritable. An inexplicable anger arose from my heart. I threw the cigarette box away hard, and then took out a pack of new cigarettes from my bag. Fortunately, I specially prepared two cigarettes before coming.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, my mood slowly stabilized. I also faced the reality that had happened. I said in a low voice: "After tonight, if there is still no news, then let's call the police. As soon as the typhoon passes, I will start to issue a 'missing notice'. No matter what happens, I will find her."

Xu Mengjun nodded, and she raised her head and sniffed, trying not to let the tears flow down, but I still saw her raising her hand to wipe her tears unyieldingly. Although I felt very uncomfortable, sad and anxious, I also knew that I must calm down and stabilize my emotions now.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, I lit another cigarette and asked silently in my heart: "Su Jing, where are you..."

......

As the night became deeper and deeper, the wind and rain became even more crazy, and were raging the city ruthlessly. This night I couldn't go out to find a hotel to stay in, so I finally went to a junior brother's dormitory to spend the rest of my stay.

At this time, I only had three people in the dormitory, and I guess everyone else had already gone home early. The other two junior brothers were also smoking, and the three were in the room, with a little window open, and sucking in the room.

"Senior Brother, I read the missing person notice from our school post today. Can Senior Sister Su Jing really not be contacted?" A junior brother wearing glasses suddenly asked me.

It seems that Xu Mengjun's mobilization of personal resources at school is of some use. As for the question this junior brother is asking me now, although I don't want to admit that this is the fact, I still nodded and continued to smoke "bangbang".

"No way? I remember when I went out a few days ago, I met her, but strangely, no matter how I called her, I didn't want to pay attention to me... Oh, by the way, I remember she was with another man at that time. There was a big shopping mall on Huaxing Road in District 1. Those who came out of the mall should go out to buy something together."
