Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 252: A True Account

Ma Junjie floored the accelerator, and the car sped along the road.

The houses and trees along the street rushed past, and Ma Junjie's thoughts were in turmoil, his mind filled with the image of Liu Bingbing leaving in a huff.

Especially Liu Bingbing's last sentence,

"Ma Junjie, I never want to see you again."

In addition, Liu Bingbing's reddened eyes,

At this moment, the images kept replaying in Ma Junjie's mind, refusing to leave.

If Liu Bingbing really disappears this time,

To put it bluntly, if Liu Bingbing really is in danger, and something bad happens to her...

Then I will be forever trapped in deep self-blame for the rest of my life.

Thinking of all this, Ma Junjie felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by a hand, and even breathing was painful.

Twenty minutes later, Ma Junjie turned a corner and the car came to a steady stop in front of Liu Xiong's villa.

Ma Junjie quickly pushed open the car door and got out, just in time to see the housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, open the door and come out.

Without hesitation, Ma Junjie rushed straight into the door.

Aunt Zhang, carrying groceries in both hands, saw a figure flash by and screamed in panic.

"Hey, who's there?"

"Hey, what do you think you're doing? Stop right there!"

Ma Junjie ignored her and ran straight into the villa without turning his head.

As soon as they rushed into the villa, they were shocked to see Liu Xiong sitting on the mahogany sofa in the living room, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Uncle Liu... Uncle Liu..." Ma Junjie called out abruptly, somewhat stammering.

No sooner had she shouted than the housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, stormed in from behind.

He pointed at Ma Junjie and shouted,

"Hey, what do you do for a living?"

"Get out of here! I'm calling the police!"

Ma Junjie turned to look at her and called out softly.

"Aunt Zhang, it's me, Ma Junjie. I've been here before."

When Aunt Zhang saw it was Ma Junjie, she immediately put down her phone.

His face showed an expression of utter disgust.

"cut!"

"Those who've been here before... can just barge in?"

"Country folks really have no manners!"

When Aunt Zhang said these words, her facial expressions and gestures were very rich, with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

Ma Junjie already knew Aunt Zhang's character and couldn't be bothered with her.

Seeing that Ma Junjie remained silent, Aunt Zhang, taking advantage of his kindness, prepared to scold him a few more times.

Just as he was about to speak,

Carina Lau shouted from the side.

"Aunt Zhang, you can go out now!"

"We have important things to discuss with Ah-Jie, so don't cause trouble!"

"Huh? This?" Aunt Zhang seemed a little surprised.

However, judging from Carina Lau's tone, she seemed a little angry.

He quickly bowed and scraped, speaking respectfully.

"Yes, miss, I'll be right out."

"Master and Miss, I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang lowered her head, turned around, and left.

Looking at Aunt Zhang's appearance, Ma Junjie shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Ah Jie, come here quickly!" Carina Lau shouted.

Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze and quickly walked towards Liu Jialing and Liu Xiong.

He slowly walked up to Liu Xiong, his gaze landing on Liu Xiong's tense face across the coffee table.

Finally, he turned his head to look at Carina Lau.

"Sister Liu, what's the situation now?"

Carina Lau's face was expressionless, but her skin was visibly pale.

"Ah Jie, I've been calling since this afternoon, but I haven't been able to get through."

"I came to find my dad, but I couldn't get through to him either."

"The current situation is that Bingbing can't contact anyone."

"This has never happened before. Although Bingbing is a bit immature, she would never play disappearing act."

As she spoke, Carina Lau suddenly stopped and sniffed hard.

Ma Junjie's heart sank.

My emotions plummeted to rock bottom.

At this moment, Liu Xiong suddenly spoke, his tone serious and profound.

"Ah Jie, you need to understand, the situation is critical."

"Tell me everything you know, completely and verbatim!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie immediately looked towards Liu Xiong.

In a flash,

He then saw Liu Xiong staring at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Ma Junjie's heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, it was all my fault yesterday, I..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong immediately raised his hand to interrupt Ma Junjie.

To put it simply,

"Ah Jie, this isn't about blaming anyone, just explain things clearly!"

Carina Lau echoed this sentiment from the side.

"Yes, A-Jie, tell me exactly what you know."

"After all, Bingbing disappeared with you in the end."

Ma Junjie nodded, took a deep breath, and thought for a moment.

Some things are indeed difficult to say aloud.

However, given the critical situation, Ma Junjie couldn't worry about anything else.

"Uncle Liu, Sister Liu, this is what happened..."

Ma Junjie made no attempt to hide anything, explaining exactly how Li Xuemei came to his house to borrow the bathroom to take a shower.

Then a pair of underwear was left behind.

Ultimately, it was because of these underwear that Liu Bingbing misunderstood herself.

In a fit of anger, he stormed out of the house in the night and disappeared into the darkness.

"Uncle Liu, Sister Liu, it's really my fault, my negligence..."

"I shouldn't have put my clothes back on then; I should have just rushed out and chased after her..."

"Oh, I'm so stupid, so incredibly stupid!"

Looking back now, Ma Junjie is indeed very regretful.

He raised his hand and slapped his head hard.

I feel really sorry for Liu Bingbing.

If anything were to happen to Liu Bingbing, she would never forgive herself.

"What time did she leave? How much money did she have with her? Did she say where she was going?" Liu Xiong's voice was hoarse, clearly suppressing his anger.

Ma Junjie thought for a moment and answered them one by one.

"It was around 1 a.m., she was carrying a bag, and she seemed to be holding her phone, but she didn't say where she was going..."

Ma Junjie's voice grew softer and softer, his guilt deepening.

Carina Lau, watching from the side, added,

"Dad, I checked Bingbing's bedroom. Her clothes are all there, and the cash in the drawer is still there. She probably... didn't come home."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong abruptly stood up.

Several teacups on the coffee table were accidentally knocked over and fell to the ground.

With a "crack," it shattered into pieces.

Liu Xiong's eyes were fixed on Ma Junjie like a hawk's, while he pointed at Ma Junjie with one hand.

The tone was icy and chilling.

"Ma Junjie, Bingbing left because of you. If anything happens to her, you...you just wait and see!"

Ma Junjie was startled, but he didn't refute her. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

He said, word by word,

"Uncle Liu, if anything happens to Bingbing, I don't need you to say anything more. I'll pay with my life!"

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and heavy.

Carina Lau walked over to Lau Hung and gently patted him on the back.

"Dad, please don't say that..."

"We both know in our hearts that Ah-Jie is a good person. He's already very upset, so let's not talk about him anymore."

"The most important thing right now, like you said before, isn't discussing who's right and who's wrong, but finding Bingbing as soon as possible!"

Liu Xiong was probably overcome with anger and blurted out those words in a moment of panic.

He certainly believed in Ma Junjie.

Now that Ma Junjie has finished explaining, the group is completely clueless and has no idea what to do.

So how do we find Liu Bingbing?

"Ah-Jie, what are your thoughts now?" Carina Lau suddenly asked.

"For example, if Liu Bingbing were kidnapped by bad guys, who do you think is the most likely suspect?"

Upon hearing Carina Lau's question, Ma Junjie fell into deep thought for a moment.

A few seconds later, Ma Junjie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted,

"Sister Liu, I understand, I understand!"

"It's him, it must be him!"
