You Are Deep in The Stars

Chapter 24 - The Missing and Conscientious Assistant II



“I don’t want to talk now,” Wang Yuanchen said weakly.

“You’re not really here for a meal, are you?” Han Zhuo asked. “What happened?”

“I, I don’t know either.” Liu Chunchun looked at Mr. Wang innocently, ‘so you see, you have to speak.’

Wang Yuanchen took a breath, pointed at Liu Chunchun, and asked Bai Xi: “Why don’t you let him work in your company?”

Liu Chunchun said in surprise: “Ah?”

“My company? Of course, I want to.” Bai Xi smiled and put the cushion into Liu Chunchun’s arms. “But according to Chunchun’s strength, there are a lot of good companies waiting for him to choose. If we want to cross the river, we have to know the stones. Of course, I don’t mind having my friend working with me. But my place is too small for him.”

“But the situation is different now.” Wang Yuanchen grabbed a bunch of Liu Chunchun’s hair, like a shop owner showing goods to customers roughly. “He can’t stay at home all the time, and he can’t go to a strange company. Then there is no doubt that only the last road remains.”

Liu Chunchun gasped: “It hurts, it hurts!”

“But…” Bai Xi still hesitated. He looked at Liu Chunchun and asked, “Are you willing?”

“Of course, I am willing!” Liu Chunchun finally managed to get away from his secretary. He moved over and hugged Bai Xi. “But Brother Bai, don’t be stressed. I have five million. If you don’t pay me for five years, it’s still okay, I won’t starve and die!”

Bai Xi glanced at Han Zhuo again.

Mr. Han raised his lips and acquiesced to this proposal.

If Liu Chunchun was not willing to be a professional painter, then letting him stay with Bai Xi for the time being was obviously the best choice at the moment. Firstly, he could accumulate normal work experience without interrupting his resume. Secondly, it could also reduce the risk of accidents.

“That’s okay.” Bai Xi put his arm around his shoulders and made a formal decision, “When your waist heals, come and work with me!”

The new job came without warning, and Liu Chunchun was a lso very excited, wishing that he could embrace his new life immediately.

.

After the two left, Han Zhuo handed over another glass of wine: “I have another suggestion, do you want to listen?”

“Of course, what is it?” Bai Xi asked.

“Find an opportunity to tell Chunchun about the superpowers, at least let him know about the existence of this group.” Han Zhuo said, “Since the person has been involved, he has the absolute right to know, and looking at it from another perspective, this is also good for us.”

“I will consider it.” Bai Xi nodded, but after a while he felt helpless, “But Chunchun has always been very timid, I think he might be shocked.”

“Not necessarily. Maybe he will be surprised,” Han Zhuo smiled, “After all, it is a completely different new world, just like a scene in a movie.”

“Then will you let him see the little star?” Bai Xi asked.

Han Zhuo shook his head: “No.”

He then added: “Because the little star belongs to you alone.”

Bai Xi stretched out his right hand with the palm facing up.

Mr. Han nodded lightly, and the falling light flickered very slowly this time.

Like a sleepy, confused little star.

.

A week passed quickly.

Liu Chunchun’s waist injury had not yet healed, and Bai Xi was still setting up his office, but another big thing happened—Zhao Xiaojuan disappeared, and no one knew where she went.

“Missing?” Bai Xi asked in surprise. “Have you called the police?”

“It is said that the Zhao family’s parents originally wanted to call the police, but Huang Jingyuan stopped them,” Daisy said. “So, except for them, no one has discovered this yet.”

“She might have been sent to the laboratory by Huang Jingyuan.” Bai Xi hesitated to guess. He was originally unwilling to make such a cruel assumption, but after all, Zhao Xiaojuan already had a child in her belly, and that was what the underground warehouse wanted.

“I thought that was the case at first, but later I discovered that Huang Jingyuan was also looking for her,” Daisy said. “He looked quite angry. He didn’t have to act like this, so the disappearance must be real.”

The CCTV video of the entire block was played. They could only see Zhao Xiaojuan going out with a small satchel, first visiting two small convenience stores, and then completely disappearing from the camera.

Not in the hands of Huang Jingyuan, not in her parents’ home, Daisy, her only “new friend,” had no idea at all. She didn’t bring a wallet, a mobile phone, an ID card, or a change of clothes. No one could guess what she was doing or for what purpose she chose to leave.

“Are you sure the person is still alive?” Han Zhuo asked again.

“She cares about the baby very much. Logically speaking, she should cherish her own life and there is no possibility of suicide,” Daisy said. “I guess she didn’t tell her husband about the baby, otherwise she wouldn’t have had the chance to act alone.”

It sounded a bit unbelievable that an introverted and unsociable young woman disappeared in a neighborhood full of cameras, and after her disappearance, the people in the underground warehouse were mobilized, but they could not find out where she had gone.

Daisy regretted it very much. She felt she should have taken Zhao Xiaojuan home at that time instead of releasing her to the devil and letting her continue to be tortured until she disappeared without a clue.

“It’s possible that she was rescued,” Bai Xi brought her a cup of tea. “There are so many people with superpowers, and there must be more than a few who want to go against Huang Jingyuan, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Daisy sighed. “But in fact, I know almost all the superpowers in this city, and it is unlikely they would do such a thing.”

Bai Xi frowned slightly.

“Also,” Daisy patted his hand, “You must pay more attention to your surroundings recently and don’t leave Han Zhuo easily. I have a hunch that this will be the beginning of all conspiracies.”

Bai Xi nodded. “I know, so do you.”
