Su Mi said: "Sister Qiaoqiao flew to Jingzhou today to meet with Zhao Menglou to talk about finding someone, but after getting off the plane, I couldn't contact her. Her phone was always turned off, so I contacted Zhao
Meng Lou, they haven’t answered the phone over there.”
Zong Lu frowned: "You mean, Miss Jiang and Meng Lou lost contact together?"
"Yes. I only know Zhao Menglou's mobile phone number. Let me see if you can contact Zhao Menglou again."
Zong Lu didn't say anything, signaled Su Mi to come in, and called Zhao Menglou's personal mobile phone. Sure enough, the other party didn't answer for a long time.
Another call was made to the Zhao family's landline.
Turn on the speakers.
The servant of the Zhao family picked up the call over there. When he saw it was Zong Lu, he said respectfully:
"Hello, Mr. Zong."
"Where's the Fourth Young Master? Let him answer the phone."
"Four Young Masters went out early this morning and haven't come back yet."
"Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know, Fourth Young Master didn't tell us."
Su Mi couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, a familiar sweet and lively female voice came from the other side of the phone:
"...Who is calling?"
It's Zhao Xige.
Su Mi quickly took a look at Zong Lu.
Zong Lu understood what she meant: "Give the phone to your lady."
The call was quickly received by Zhao Xige: "...Brother Zonglu? Are you looking for my brother?"
Su Mi said to the phone: "Xiao Xi, do you know where your brother is now?"
When Zhao Xige heard Su Mi's voice, he beamed with joy: "Sister Mimi!...My brother? I don't know. He went out very early, saying that someone came from Tancheng to meet him."
"Your brother made an appointment with Miss Jiang, my partner in Tancheng Private Investigation Agency, but now I can't contact them. I'm worried that something has happened. Can you help find your brother?"
When Zhao Xige heard this, he quickly said: "Oh, don't hang up the phone yet."
With that said, he dialed the cell phone.
After a while, he said: "I called him, but he didn't answer. I also called his assistant He Feng, but he didn't answer... It's really weird. Although he occasionally misses home, he rarely doesn't answer the phone...
"
Su Mi became more and more anxious. Zong Lu told her not to worry yet and asked:
"Xiao Xi, when your brother makes appointments with people to talk about things, where does he usually meet?"
Zhao Xige scratched the back of his head: "Brother, we usually talk about things in our own hotel."
Zong Lu pondered for a moment, said thank you, hung up the phone, and immediately called Uncle Chao: "Call a few hotels under the Zhao family's name to see if the Fourth Young Master is here. In addition, how many hotels under the Fourth Young Master's name are there?"
Look for it over there, too."
Uncle Chao will do it immediately.
The two waited for a while, and Uncle Chao came back: "It was said in several places that the Fourth Young Master is not here, and he has not been there today."
Su Mi looked at Zong Lu: "Where will you go?"
Zong Lu frowned: "That boy Zhao Menglou has several private properties in Jingzhou, but he hasn't told me about them all."
At this moment, Su Mi's cell phone rang. When she saw it was Zhao Xige, she picked up the call: "Xiao Xi."
"Sister Mimi, my brother hasn't come back yet. Have you found him and Miss Jiang?" Zhao Xige was still awake because of this matter.
"No, I've searched for hotels and houses, but the Fourth Young Master didn't go. Xiaoxi, do you know if your brother has any other houses outside?"
Zhao Xige thought hard and said, "Have you looked for it at Cuixia Lake?"
"Cuixia Lake?" Su Mi glanced at Zong Lu.
If Zhao Xige hadn't wanted to please Sister Su Mi, he wouldn't have revealed this secret: "Well, my brother bought a villa there two years ago, but he didn't tell his family. I also found out about it when I accidentally found him renovating it.
I thought he had some kind of girlfriend and was hiding his beauty in the golden house there. I told me not to tell anyone. I wanted to use this to threaten him to do things for me in the future, so I didn’t tell anyone."
Su Mi: "..."
Well, what a good sister.
Not caring about anything else: "Do you know the specific address in Cuixia Lake?"
"That's not clear."
Zong Lu made a gesture. Su Mi said a few words to Zhao Xige and hung up the phone.
"The private villas near Cuixia Lake are all in that area. We should be able to find them if we look for them one by one."
Zonglu puts on his coat.
Su Mi picked up the phone and followed him out of the room.
Zong Lu saw that she was about to make a phone call, so he asked as he walked: "Who to call? Second Master?"
"Well, I'll tell him and see if he wants to go together." Huo Shenxiu went back there after dinner.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zong Lu stretched out his hand, gently covered her cell phone, and turned it around:
"No need. He has gone back. It's so late. Don't bother him."
**
Cuixia Lake Villa.
The night is getting darker.
The door finally opened again.
Zhao Menglou came in with a tray with a cup of milk and a plate of southern-flavor fried vegetarian rice noodles.
Put it on the bedside table and take a look at the tired person on the bed:
"Are you hungry? It's time to eat."
Jiang Qiaoyue glanced at the milk that was close at hand, and saw a faint smell of milk.
It's goat's milk.
She is lactose intolerant and rarely drinks milk.
Unexpectedly, he still remembered this.
And that plate of southern-style fried noodles...
When she was in Maple City, she got entangled with him after Yun Yu.
He followed her with a backpack on his back and couldn't be beaten away. He followed her for a whole day, and in the end, he came over to her with a shy face:
"Little sister, I'm hungry."
She couldn't help it, so she invited him to have a meal at a roadside stall.
Just eat the southern style fried noodles.
He actually still remembers every detail of what happened two years ago.
She pulled back her thoughts: "If you want me to eat, you have to untie the rope."
"I'll feed you."
When she saw him sitting down and handing over the milk, she tilted her head.
Zhao Menglou narrowed his eyes: "It's not good if you have to force me to do it."
She slowly turned her face: "Untie me and I'll eat it myself. Don't worry, I won't run away."
Zhao Menglou doubted whether she had really figured it out and made no move.
Jiang Qiaoyue looked at him: "You lock me here, you can't feed me three meals a day, right? Besides, besides eating, I always have to go to the bathroom, right? You also help me?"
Zhao Menglou then smiled faintly, put the milk on the cabinet, leaned down, and untied the ropes from her hands and feet.
The man's body collided with her slim and soft body intentionally or unintentionally.
From time to time, he would rub it innocently.
Jiang Qiaoyue felt hot and sweaty on her back again. She cursed in her heart and held it back.
There was still a rope on one hand that had not been untied, so Zhao Menglou stopped.
Jiang Qiaoyue was startled, shook her right hand that was still tied, and reminded him: "There is one more."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Menglou took out something shiny silver from the drawer, like a metal ring, and put it on one of her slender ankles.
