Chapter 401 Wang Chao's Disappearance
The rain outside kept falling, occasionally accompanied by two loud thunderclaps.
Although Gu Chaoxi's sleep was not very deep, it was quite sound.
The lights in the corridor were always on. In the dark night, someone's door was opened with a creaking sound.
It seemed like someone was walking past in the corridor, but the sound of the rain was so loud that it covered up the faint footsteps and no one noticed.
It was not until the next morning that Gu Chaoxi was awakened by the noise outside.
She got up from the bed, tilted her ear to listen to the noise outside, and without being in a hurry, she walked to the sink and started washing.
When she finished washing up and opened the door, she saw Pei Yan standing outside her room.
But he was facing away from her, with his back slightly bent and his hands on the railing.
Pei Yan looked down at the yard. The yard was in a mess, with many workers running around.
Hearing the voice behind him, Pei Yan didn't even turn around.
"Wang Chao is missing, but the little girl is still there."
"How did you find out?" she asked calmly, and closed the door when she turned around.
Pei Yan released his hands from the railing, stood up straight, glanced down, and turned sideways.
Gu Chaoxi had already walked to his side and now raised his head slightly, looking at him.
When He Mei got up in the morning to make breakfast, she found that Wang Chao was neither in the room nor in the kitchen.
She went to the bathroom and looked for him, but didn't see anyone there either.
At this time, He Mei actually didn't think that Wang Chao was missing.
Although Wang Chao does not have a very good reputation at the construction site, he still has a few friends who play cards with him.
Occasionally they would play cards together at night, so He Mei just thought that he had gone to another dormitory to play cards with others last night.
After she finished making breakfast and saw that some workers had already come to eat breakfast, she gradually realized that something was wrong.
Although Wang Chao would occasionally go to other people's dormitories to play cards, he never came back in the morning until breakfast time.
At this moment, He Mei was a little anxious, and happened to see a few people who used to play cards with Wang Chao.
So he quickly asked the other party why Wang Chao hadn't come back yet.
The workers were a little confused by He Mei's questions. It took them a while to react and told her that they did not play cards last night and had not seen Wang Chao.
This time, He Mei was really panicked.
She immediately asked all the workers who came to have breakfast if they had seen Wang Chao, but everyone denied it.
So, basically all the employees who had eaten breakfast started to ask if they had seen Wang Chao.
Unfortunately, the answer was no.
"Maybe he's dead."
Gu Chaoxi asked him.
Pei Yan didn't answer for the time being. He just raised his hand and pointed towards the stairs and spoke to her softly.
"Let's go have breakfast first."
"Yeah." She responded and followed Pei Yan over there.
When I was going down the stairs, I heard Pei Yan talking again.
"Not necessarily. The little girl is still here. I feel like Wang Chao is still alive."
Yes, there are also rumors that the father killed his daughter.
And now my daughter is still alive, so my father should not be dead either.
The two walked downstairs and saw people walking around in the yard.
They went straight towards the dining room. Although He Mei was still in the kitchen serving breakfast to the workers who had not had breakfast, she was obviously absent-minded.
Gu Chaoxi knocked on the window, signaling He Mei to get him some food.
The woman took a plate, served breakfast to the two of them and placed it on the table. Then she looked at the little girl who was sitting obediently beside her with some concern.
Pei Yan raised his hand and touched Gu Chaoxi's arm, and she came back to her senses. She turned around, took the breakfast, and walked to the table and chairs nearby with Pei Yan and sat down.
While the two were having breakfast, Shen Yao and Qin Wei came in from the dining room door.
After a while, Shen Lan and Zhou Youyou also walked in from the door.
As the remaining few people arrived, the table was quickly surrounded and filled.
Qi Chuzhao lowered his head while eating breakfast and asked in a low voice: "Is Wang Chao dead?"
"Probably not." Shen Yao replied. Qi Chuzhao said "hmm" and said nothing more.
To be honest, they still don’t know much about this story and don’t have many clues.
Although we roughly know who has grudges against Wang Chao, we are not sure who killed Wang Chao.
"Let's go there and take a look later."
After eating, Gu Chaoxi wiped his mouth with a tissue and turned his head to look at Pei Yan.
He nodded and continued to eat the rest of the food on his plate without saying a word.
The group of people were so quiet that Zhou Youyou couldn't help but look up and glance at everyone.
She worked almost all day yesterday. Even though she was not very good at something, she had figured it out a little bit by the time she got off work in the afternoon.
If you don’t know, you might think that the other world wants to cultivate her other skills.
I was so tired last night that I went back to the dormitory, washed up, and went straight to sleep. I had no energy at all.
She is a spoiled young lady on weekdays and has never done such rough work, not to mention the tiring work on the construction site every day.
If my family knew about this, they would probably think I was dreaming.
Zhou Youyou looked around and lowered her head again. She really knew nothing and didn't notice anything.
If it weren't for Shen Lan, a young lady like her with a dull mind would have been cheated countless times.
Now in this plane, it is all thanks to Gu Chaoxi and the others that I can get out alive again and again.
Zhou Youyou didn’t dare to think about it. If something happened to Gu Chaoxi and the others, she would probably be close to death.
"We're going to the construction site first. Please pay more attention to any unusual movements today, especially those related to their family of three."
After Pei Yan finished speaking, he stood up and took Gu Chaoxi away first.
Zhou Ze hadn't realized what was going on yet, and raised his head in confusion: "They?"
Qin Wei tilted his head and kindly explained: "Go and verify whether Wang Chao is dead."
The big pit discovered yesterday is most likely a burial site.
The entire construction site and dormitory area is such a large area, but only that side is deserted, so it is very likely that the body is buried there.
When Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi arrived at the construction site, there were not too many people working.
Wang Chao's disappearance attracted the attention of several contractors.
Song Jiangwen naturally knew about it, and now he and several other contractors seemed to be looking for Wang Chao.
After all, Wang Chao was brought in by Song Jiangwen. Although He Mei can also cook, Wang Chao is the one in charge of the family after all.
The profit sharing he had negotiated was also discussed with Wang Chao. Now that Wang Chao is no longer at the construction site, he is naturally a little anxious.
The two men tried their best to avoid the attention of the workers and walked towards the edge of the building.
Go around the wall on the first floor and you will see the weeds.
After they came yesterday, it rained heavily all night, washing away all previous traces. Now it is impossible to tell whether anyone has been here.
Fortunately, the steel pipes and wooden sticks they threw down yesterday are still against the wall.
"Let's go in and take a look." Gu Chaoxi picked up the wooden stick again and held it in his hand.
