Chapter 40
Xue Xiaotao's parents and Xue Mi arrived a few minutes later.
Both my aunt and uncle were kind-looking people with good tempers. Xue Mi followed them with a smile on her face, looking like an ordinary guest.
After a few simple greetings, the parents of both sides soon started chatting animatedly. The young couple pursed their lips and seemed to be sitting aside obediently, but in fact their glances were more lively than their conversation.
Ma Wei's aunt was bored watching from the sidelines, but she didn't have the guts to cause a scene, so she simply pulled Xue Mi aside to talk to her: "Are you her sister? I thought they had an only child in their family."
"I am Xiaotao's cousin." Xue Mi said.
"Cousin... My daughter is also Ma Wei's cousin. She works at a magazine called XXXX. You young people should have heard of it, right? She is friends with several celebrities. My child also said that when her cousin gets married, she will give him a watch endorsed by a big-name celebrity. That's very valuable. It will also have XXX's autograph and a big red envelope. By the way, what are you going to give him then?"
Xue Mi glanced at her and smiled faintly: "I should give my sister a house."
My aunt was stunned and smiled awkwardly: "Is it a house model? I have seen it on the Internet before. It is quite exquisite and has a good meaning."
"Of course not," Xue Mi shook her head. "I have already picked out a house in S City for her. I also have a few flats in B City. Let's see if Xiao Tao is interested. If she likes it, I will give her another house here."
She has only one sister getting married, so the dowry must be splendid, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
My aunt's face turned pale instantly, and she stammered for a long time without saying anything. On the other side, the manager of the private club came over, whispered hello, boss, and specially brought a bottle of fine wine.
Xue Mi met him when she came to City B a while ago, but she was short on time and didn't come here for an on-site inspection.
The manager exchanged a few words with Xue Mi and then left. They spoke in low voices so as not to disturb others - except for Ma Wei's aunt who was sitting next to Xue Mi.
From then on, Ma Wei's aunt was like a wooden stake and didn't dare to say a word.
After returning home, she described the grandeur of the private club to her daughter in vivid detail. Her daughter was shocked: "That place is very famous. Many celebrities are members of that club. Xiaotao's relative is the owner of that club? We must get to know him. Maybe in the future, when the magazine needs to solicit sponsorship for an event, we can ask him for help!"
The aunt smiled awkwardly, too embarrassed to tell her daughter that she even used the wedding gift her daughter had prepared to compare with others on purpose.
As a result, he was beaten so badly that he had no face left.
Xue Mi is the type of person who gets even more aggressive when others are aggressive, but she is also very easy to talk to if others are negotiable.
At least from Ma Wei's parents' side, they thought Xue Xiaotao's cousin was a kind person who didn't talk much and was very gentle.
As for what my sister said about him being a wealthy man and having a ton of money, I didn't take it too seriously.
After all, my sister loves to make a fuss about nothing. She will make a big deal out of the smallest matter. If you believe everything she says, your life will be meaningless.
"Besides, the relatives who have money belong to them. Look, you live a good life, and our family has never taken advantage of you." She also made a sarcastic remark to her sister.
This person is quick to join in the fun, so it would be difficult to borrow some money from her.
"How can that be the same?" Ma Wei's aunt murmured, "Compared to others, the little money we have is nothing..."
She now never mentioned anything about local or other places, and just kept nagging that the gap between the two families was too big, and if they got married, Ma Wei would probably become a son-in-law.
"What are you talking about?" Ma Wei's mother had a good temper and was used to her sister's behavior. She was unhappy now. "They are a good couple, but you are saying such discouraging words to them. I think the elders in the child's family are all very nice. Your brother-in-law and I are very happy with this marriage. Don't interfere."
"That's right. Besides, they already have an older son at home, so why would they want Ma Wei? If they really want him, I'd be very happy. He's only been back for a few days, and he's already jumping around all the time. It gives me a headache just to see him like that." Ma Wei's father said.
That’s why they say they are a perfect match. These two kids are both playful and noisy. When they are together, they are just like two little kids. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. You’ve been back for a long time - you should just stay away!
Xiaotao's parents had similar thoughts. When they talked about their children's embarrassing moments, they instantly felt a sense of sympathy for each other and became closer to each other.
As for marriage, the parents on both sides are more enthusiastic than their children. The more they talk, the more interested they become, and they wish they could just pack up their children and send them away.
In the end, the wedding date was moved forward from the original Spring Festival to National Day. Anyway, there is a call to not hold large banquets nowadays, so just inviting relatives and friends for a simple meal on both sides does not really require much trouble.
Xue Xiaotao originally thought that getting married was a very simple matter. She just informed her parents and lived her life as usual. It would not have any impact.
But now looking at her parents' expressions, she felt a little regretful about her previous impulsiveness.
She glared at Ma Wei and asked, "What were you thinking at the time, proposing to me out of the blue?"
How could I have agreed to it in such a rush?
Ma Wei scratched his head innocently, and inexplicably felt nervous: "I just... thought you were great, and I was impulsive. Otherwise, how about we tell our parents that we regret not getting married?"
"Then you go and tell me," Xue Xiaotao ordered him, "I don't dare. My mother will definitely twist my ears off."
Ma Wei also had a bitter face: "I don't dare either. Don't look at my father's smiling face. He broke my legs when I was a child."
"Then...then let's get married..." Xiao Tao compromised weakly.
It's no wonder that these two people are very childish. Getting married is just like playing house, with lots of hassles. No wonder the parents of both sides took advantage of this momentum and decided on the marriage.
The children don’t really need to worry about what happens next. As long as everyone arrives on time and nothing unexpected happens, the elders on both sides will be thankful.
————
Xiaotao and Ma Wei took two days off, plus two days of weekends, so they had to go back to work after not staying for long.
My aunt and uncle retired a long time ago and stayed in City B for a few more days. He also had a good tour of City B with the hospitality of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Xue Mi only spent one day with her aunt and uncle, took a look at her own properties here, and then went abroad directly.
She is going abroad to watch a fashion show and to take care of the business left by her mother there.
Lawyer Feng has urged this matter several times, but there are always various things in the country that hinder her progress, so it has been delayed until now.
This time the timing was right and she had nothing to do, so she finally made up her mind to go abroad.
Xue Mi had never been abroad before. When she was boarding the plane, she felt a little nervous listening to the announcement in two languages.
The flight took nearly 10 hours, and she had never been on a flight for so long before.
Sitting on the plane, she couldn't help but think of a bunch of horror movies she had seen before, as well as various news reports.
In order to divert attention, Xue Mi chatted with the assistant who was also taking an international flight for the first time: "Have you seen the first Final Destination?"
This is a very old movie, but it is a classic. Especially for horror movie fans, it is one of the genres that cannot be missed.
The assistant had indeed seen it, and gave the boss a look of panic that seemed a little out of control.
She was a little nervous to begin with, and after hearing what Xue Mi said, she seemed even more panicked.
Tsk, what was said on the Internet turned out to be false. Chatting doesn’t relieve the tension at all.
Even though she knew rationally that the accident rate of airplanes was actually lower than that of cars and ships, Xue Mi still couldn't help but worry.
The more worried I am, the more I want to look up the answers in advance.
She glanced at Lawyer Feng and Lawyer Feng's assistant next to her. They had already shaken hands before, but it was useless.
The same goes for the assistant, whose life is ordinary and dull, and there is no gossip that can cause her abilities to react.
There weren't many passengers in the first-class cabin of the plane, and the space was large, so it was very quiet overall.
Sitting behind and to the side of Xue Mi's seat, there should be a family of three, a young couple with a little girl of five or six years old.
The girl was quite pretty, with her big eyes rolling around. When she noticed Xue Mi was looking at her, she narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Really... so cute!
Xue Mi stretched out her hand, shook hands with the little girl, and said hello to each other.
The little girl nodded steadily like a little adult and said hello, "Sister."
Not only does she look sweet, but her mouth is also so sweet!
Xue Mi didn't expect that the first person she attacked would get something in return.
This little girl looks like an ordinary child with a sweet appearance now. I never expected that she would become one of the first astronauts to land on Mars in the future. She is also giving space science classes to children on Earth on Mars. It is really proud to see her.
Xue Mi was instantly relieved. They would be able to go to Mars in the future, and there would definitely be no accidents with the plane this time.
It’s nice to get a sneak peek at the answer.
Xue Mi relaxed instantly and chatted with the little girl for a while. Her parents were listening nearby and couldn't help laughing.
The future astronaut really showed her unique qualities early on. The little girl didn't like dolls and beautiful clothes. She was already obsessed with studying astronomy and geography. She even asked several questions related to cross-time zones. Unfortunately, Xue Mi couldn't answer any of them and had to retreat in embarrassment.
However, it doesn't seem to be shameful to be stumped by a future top astronaut.
She later overheard that the little girl's parents were also stumped by their daughter's series of questions and couldn't help but smile sympathetically.
Sure enough, gifted children are not so easy to raise.
The rest of the voyage was uneventful. Xue Mi ate, drank, slept, and watched a bunch of disaster movies happily. Finally, she arrived at her destination safely the next morning.
Xue Mi stayed here to attend the fashion week, while Lawyer Feng took her assistant to deal with the preliminary issues first. When the preparations were almost done, the two sides would reunite.
The journey went smoothly afterwards. The brand provided accommodation throughout the entire process and even found a local international student to serve as Xue Mi's translator.
She was a cheerful and lively girl who studied fashion art here and was determined to break into the fashion circle and create her own brand.
After Xue Mi shook hands with her, her face looked a little heavy.
The translator keenly noticed that his client was in a bad mood and quickly asked if it was his problem.
Xue Mi shook her head and forced a smile: "I just feel a little uncomfortable with the local climate."
"Then let's go back to the hotel and rest," the translator smiled brightly again, "The room has been prepared for you. You can enjoy all the services inside at will. The brand will pay for it."
She winked at Xue Mi playfully, and couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity with her fellow villager.
Xue Mi also smiled at her.
"Just a secret, although this place claims to be drinking water, if you don't want to lose your hair, don't try it casually." She whispered in Xue Mi's ear.
Xue Mi was amused by her and nodded to indicate that she remembered it.
As an important VIP customer, the brand's arrangements along the way were very thoughtful, including luxury suites in top five-star hotels, various fashion shows, a bunch of cocktail parties and brand hospitality activities. The entire itinerary was packed and looked tiring.
However, Xue Mi is not a star, so there is no need for her to cooperate with the arrangements so diligently. As a picky consumer, she simply crossed out several activities that she was not very interested in, and declined most of the cocktail parties. She only attended the opening cocktail party of this fashion week and a few shows that she was a little interested in, and that was enough.
Xue Mi used to think that her mother bought so many top VIP titles just by shopping, but later she found out that her mother not only bought various luxury goods, but also bought a lot of shares. As the only heir, she is now also an important shareholder of many internationally renowned brands. The shares of each brand are not many, but when added together, they are quite significant.
No wonder the headquarters of several big brands are so attentive.
Therefore, the brand cooperated throughout the process with Xue Mi'ai's attitude of whether to go or not, without saying a word.
Because she had checked off two activities, Xue Mi could rest for one more day the next day. However, she could lie down and rest directly in the first-class cabin. She was not very tired anyway, so she simply took the translator and walked around the city.
Before going out, the translator reminded Xue Mi not to carry anything obviously valuable and to keep her cell phone in her hand as much as possible. However, if she was robbed, she should not resist because the other party might have a weapon.
Xue Mi: ...
"After all, it's a famous big city in a developed country. Why is it so chaotic?" Xue Mi asked with a look of disgust.
The translator smiled helplessly: "It was better before, but it has become even more chaotic in the past two years. I can't control it even if I want to."
"Have you ever considered returning home as soon as possible?"
"It's a rare trip, I have to make some achievements before I go back," the girl laughed heartily, "My family is not rich, my parents spent a lot of money to let me be willful for once, I can't let them down."
Xue Mi was silent for a while.
Although the security here is not very reassuring, the exotic customs are still a feast for the eyes. You must be careful when taking pictures, and it is best not to use a camera pole, because the phone is particularly easy to be stolen when placed on the pole.
Apart from that, it's quite pleasant to walk around.
A rich aroma wafts from the street cafes, and the freshly baked bread tastes different from the ones in China, but it also has a unique flavor.
Xue Mi’s favorite is the toast here, which has a rich milky aroma mixed with the aroma of caramel, butter and vanilla. It is a particularly pure and simple delicacy.
In the square, even the pigeons were lazy. They were so fat that they could hardly fly. They wandered around swayingly, pecking at the food given by tourists from time to time.
Xue Mi was happily eating a big ball of ice cream covered with chocolate sauce, but when she saw the group of pigeons, she slowed down her movements involuntarily.
The consequences of getting fat are really heartbreaking!
They also saw a newly married couple who had just come out of the church on the street. They were surrounded by a group of friends who were throwing streamers at them. They looked very happy.
The two of them watched from the side for a while. Xue Mi felt average, but the translator couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on his face.
Xue Mi glanced at her and said, "Do you have a boyfriend? Is he Chinese or from here?"
"He's a local," the girl said sweetly, "We met at school. He's a year older than me."
"How long have you been dating?" Xue Mi continued to ask curiously, seeming a bit gossipy.
Fortunately, the translator is a girl who loves to share: "We have only been dating for a few months, but he treats me very well and even said that he is willing to return to China with me in the future for me."
"It sounds really good." Xue Mi nodded and smiled.
The girl laughed heartily: "I also know that this kind of promise is unreliable, but who cares? Let's just enjoy the happiness of love first."
This idea is not wrong in itself, and it would be even better if the object was a little more reliable.
Xue Mi nodded slightly heavily.
As soon as she returned to the hotel, she sent an email to Lawyer Feng, asking him to help investigate someone.
The person to be investigated was actually the translator's boyfriend.
Xue Mi herself did not expect that she would meet the victim of a homicide case that happened not long ago.
The victim was the international student girl who was smiling brightly and happily during the day.
The murderer was her boyfriend - or rather, a perverted serial killer who disguised himself as the girl's boyfriend.
The murderer's purpose was not simply to pursue the pleasure of blood and murder, but for art - bah, this is shitty art!
Anyway, Xue Mi couldn't understand this at all and even wanted to vomit.
Because she saw a series of disgusting images yesterday, she had no appetite for dinner. But today, everything seemed delicious to her and she accidentally exceeded the calorie limit again.
Xue Mi felt that she should find that pervert and seek justice for him.
Lawyer Feng has long been calm about the strange requests that clients often make.
Anyway, as long as he gave the money, he was too lazy to ask anything else.
Moreover, when investigating strangers in China, they have to consider the issue of legality and compliance. Here, as long as you are willing to spend money, they can easily dig up your entire family.
What's more, he is just an ordinary-looking local, so it shouldn't be difficult to investigate him.
Unexpectedly, the client added: "Please help me carefully check for any missing or murder cases that have happened to this person."
Lawyer Feng sent a big question mark.
He's just an estate lawyer, not a criminal lawyer.
Although some criminal lawyers occasionally work as detectives, he is clearly not one of them.
"Are you trying to tell me that you can't do it?" Xue Mi asked.
"No problem, our law firm is particularly good at this." Lawyer Feng responded immediately.
Big clients are meant to be pampered. Even if you are not good at it at the moment, you should find ways to find someone who is good at it.
It’s just a matter of finding a criminal lawyer who has a good relationship with the police. He will definitely be able to find him in his address book!
Xue Mi expressed her satisfaction with Lawyer Feng’s service and hinted that she would renew the contract next year, most likely with them.
Next, Xue Mi occasionally visited various places of interest written in history and geography books, and occasionally participated in fashion week events.
She still went to the opening reception, but unfortunately she didn't feel very good - the language barrier was bad, and she didn't even know a few people. She stood there stupidly, watching a group of foreigners in all kinds of exaggerated dresses socializing. She felt like an alien who had accidentally broken in.
In fact, the organizers did not neglect her and even introduced many celebrities to her. Unfortunately, it would have been better if there had been no introductions, as Xue Mi didn't know any of them.
The girl who worked as a translator was quite excited. She enthusiastically introduced the identities and resumes of these people to Xue Mi's ear. Unfortunately, for someone who had never paid attention to the fashion circle, this was no different from listening to a foreign language.
They are both equally headache-inducing.
Compared to being surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar faces and hearing all kinds of foreign languages, traveling to scenic spots and historical sites is obviously much more relaxing.
I can even run into fellow countrymen from time to time and speak a few words of Chinese. It's so comfortable!
Although she had only been abroad for two or three days, Xue Mi was certain that she could not stay there at all. Both her stomach and ears were missing her hometown madly.
Toasted toast is delicious, but she can't bear to eat it every day. As for fried foie gras and roasted snails, in her mind, they are not as good as the braised pork elbow. Steak and mashed potatoes are okay, but eating too much will make her feel irritated.
So, she really wants to go home. If she doesn’t go back, she will lose several pounds!
The fitness coach may feel relieved, but the problem is that she doesn’t feel happy at all!
Fortunately, the translator girl rescued Xue Mi, who was about to collapse, in time - she took Xue Mi to a Chinese noodle restaurant and ate a big bowl of braised beef noodles.
Ah, I suddenly felt like I was saved!
The translator laughed so hard: "This is actually a city with quite a lot of delicious food. Some of my friends in other countries are even worse off. But I couldn't get used to the food when I first came here. Whenever I couldn't stand it anymore, I would go to the noodle shop here and have a bowl of noodles, and then I felt like I could hold on."
Xue Mi patted her belly contentedly: "I think I'm OK again."
It’s not that foreign food is bad, but the mouth and stomach are most receptive to familiar tastes and aromas.
Xue Mi really couldn't imagine how her mother had managed to survive back then.
In addition to a bowl of hot noodles, another good news is that Lawyer Feng's people finally found a way to investigate that person thoroughly.
Xue Mi can only see the future in her illusion, but cannot know what happened in the past.
However, seeing how skilled that guy was, Xue Mi was very sure that the foreign student girl who served as her translator would not be the first nor the last victim.
Such a cheerful and lively young girl, full of expectations and ambitions for the future, became a victim of so-called art just because of some perverted obsession - it would have been fine if she hadn't seen it, but since she had encountered it, she couldn't just ignore it.
Catching a perverted murderer in a foreign country can be considered a good deed.
Xue Mi’s guess turned out to be correct.
Even Lawyer Feng was surprised.
The white boy who looked handsome in the photo, had young women starting to disappear around him when he was 16 years old. The youngest was 7 years old and the oldest was 21 years old, a total of 6 people.
Each case seems to be fine individually, but when put together, there is a strange sense of coincidence.
Xue Mi couldn't help but complain, are the police here just there to do nothing? They didn't even discover such an obvious perverted murderer.
"It's normal that no one has found her. Most of the missing persons are young women of other ethnic groups. This person's activities cover a wide range. Several disappearances occurred in several regions far apart. It's not surprising that they have not been connected." Lawyer Feng said something fair.
"You're just here to eat." Xue Mi continued to complain coldly, not giving any face at all.
"My friend also thinks this person is suspicious and wants me to ask you, how did you find out that something was wrong with this person?" Lawyer Feng asked again.
"This guy is the boyfriend of a translator of mine. He doesn't look very good. Before I went abroad, I happened to see a news report saying that there are a lot of perverted murderers here, so I wanted to ask you to check it out. I didn't expect to run into him." Xue Mi was talking nonsense, but it seemed to be true when she made it up.
After all, it is absolutely true that there are many perverted murderers in foreign countries, and it is not wrong to say that there are so many novels and movies that like to write about this kind of stories the most.
As for facial features, that depends on personal opinion and you can say whatever you want.
Anyway, after all this nonsense, Lawyer Feng's foreign friend suddenly developed a strong interest in Eastern physiognomy, and wanted to pester the only Chinese person he knew to learn physiognomy from him, which annoyed Lawyer Feng so much that he finally introduced him to a master on the domestic Internet. But that's another story.
All in all, it is cause for celebration that this well-hidden pervert has finally attracted the attention of relevant parties.
But Xue Mi felt that this was not enough.
Those people are missing, no one knows whether they are alive or dead, who knows when we can find evidence.
And this girl who had been with him for several days was going to be killed soon.
In any case, Xue Mi couldn't just watch this happen.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to reveal a little bit of the truth she had found out.
Of course, before revealing the secret, she wanted to test how much her translator loved her boyfriend.
After all, if this girl is deeply in love, she will definitely not dare to say anything.
"What about my relationship with my boyfriend?" The translator thought about it seriously and smiled, "It's OK. Studying abroad is bound to be lonely, and it feels good to have someone by my side."
"But he is definitely not as good as my family's relatives and friends, let alone my parents," the girl said very rationally, "Anyway, I will definitely return to China in the future. If he is willing to stay with us, that would be great. If not, we can only break up."
When it comes to the topic of breaking up, she just shrugged her shoulders and there was not much regret on her face.
She seems to be a sensible girl, and I can reveal some things to you.
"You mean, you have a lawyer friend who found out there's something wrong with my boyfriend?" the translator said in disbelief.
This girl has been law-abiding all her life. Except for her slightly bold decision to study abroad, her life has been ordinary.
She never imagined that one day she might be associated with a perverted murderer.
"Could there be some mistake? I think my boyfriend is a nice person, not like... not that kind of person." She couldn't really tell what kind of person he was, she just felt that such horror stories were quite far away from her own life.
Xue Mi counted with her the number of young women who had disappeared from her boyfriend's life over the years, and the girl's face finally turned completely pale.
My boyfriend’s hometown, the district where his university is located, and the district where his graduate school is located - the time and place where the disappearances occurred really seem too coincidental.
Thinking about her boyfriend's sudden pursuit of her and the fact that those minority girls were missing, she finally couldn't help but shudder.
"Come to think of it, he has been inviting me to visit his hometown and asked me not to tell other friends. Could it be that..." The girl stopped talking halfway and didn't dare to continue.
"Maybe..." Xue Mi said.
In fact, she really wanted to nod her head vigorously, because judging from those disgusting phantoms, the translator's guess was indeed true.
So that guy is really damn good.
"Since he has attracted the attention of the police, why don't you arrest him as soon as possible?" The translator still didn't quite understand.
"The main reason is that we haven't found any evidence," Xue Mi said regretfully, "otherwise, sentencing him to death ten times would be enough - by the way, there is death penalty here, right?"
The translator shook his head regretfully, saying that no matter how serious the crime, no one would be sentenced to death in this country.
"Even if he is a perverted murderer, it won't work. Maybe he will be released after a few years." She said helplessly.
Well, I accidentally found one more reason why I don’t like being here.
"I suggest you try to keep your distance from that person, and of course be careful not to arouse his suspicion." It would not be good news if that pervert was provoked into a corner or took action prematurely.
The main thing is that the investigation into Lawyer Feng’s friend is still unclear, so there is nothing we can do except to be careful.
The translator seemed to suddenly remember something: "Will there be any clues in that place he has always wanted to take me to?"
Her boyfriend had described the trip as a secret journey - to be honest, she was quite attracted by it and was eager to try this mysterious trip.
But now when I think about it carefully, I just feel creepy and scared.
When Xue Mi heard about the abandoned farm and barn, she also felt that the matter was settled.
Aren’t these exactly the places she saw in her visions!
Most importantly, the translator happened to know the address of the abandoned farm, which made the search even easier.
After getting this key information, they said they would start an investigation immediately and soon made surprising progress. They should be able to issue an arrest warrant for that person soon.
Xue Mi and the translator finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fashion Week is finally coming to an end.
In the past few days, Xue Mi took her translator to watch several fashion shows. The translator was very focused, but Xue Mi felt like yawning.
Although all kinds of clothes look good, it's easy to get tired of them after looking at them for a long time. Besides, Xue Mi really can't appreciate those skinny supermodels, especially the clothes worn by these people. She always feels that if she is a little fatter, it will definitely be a disaster.
For example, myself.
After a long period of regular fitness, Xue Mi felt that her figure had improved a lot, but compared with the people on the stage, she was probably still considered a fat person.
Fortunately, Xue Mi has never been anxious about her body shape. On the contrary, suggestions like dieting are more likely to make her anxious.
Even the translator, who was affected by body anxiety, couldn't help but stuff two more pieces of cake into his mouth when he saw Xue Mi eating happily.
"Your boyfriend asked you out tonight?" Xue Mi scooped a mouthful of soufflé and put it in her mouth, carefully feeling the silky and soft texture. "My lawyer friend said that this guy will be arrested tomorrow. You'd better ignore him. To be honest, I think the efficiency here is really too poor. It's been such a long time, and that guy is still hanging around outside."
Anyway, in the country, Xue Mi felt that such a thing would never happen.
“I’ve already turned him down,” the translator said. “Now I’m terrified even texting him. I really hope this matter can be over as soon as possible.”
She has made all kinds of excuses and hasn't seen her boyfriend for several days. He seems to have some suspicions and the wording in his messages is becoming more and more urgent.
There is only one day left, I hope nothing goes wrong.
Although she had done everything she should have done, Xue Mi still felt uneasy for some reason.
"Why don't you not go back to school today and stay in the hotel with me." Xue Mi suggested.
The translator hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.
She was actually a little scared.
But something happened in the end.
The next morning, she received a call from a classmate saying that a roommate in the same building had gone missing, but there were large pools of blood on the steps. The police were investigating at school, and even classes were temporarily suspended.
The translator looked at Xue Mi in shock.
There was no good news from Lawyer Feng either.
The perverted murderer suddenly disappeared and no one knew where he went.
It seems that the news of his arrest was likely leaked in advance.
The efficiency here is as unreliable as ever.
"He should have already escaped," said Feng's friend. "The police estimated that he had left the city early this morning and most likely returned to his hometown."
A fugitive, a fugitive with a missing girl, did not seem to pose any threat to them.
Xue Mi still felt inexplicably nervous.
Her intuition told her that this matter was not over yet.
As long as the perverted murderer has not been caught, she can't help but feel worried.
Xue Mi and the translator had breakfast in the room.
You could say she was overly cautious or timid, but Xue Mi didn't really believe what the police said, that the pervert had already escaped from the city.
Besides, the management here is so lax. Even if he escapes, who can guarantee that he won't come back to attack?
Xue Mi has seen many scenes like this in movies, and only those silly foreigners here could not think of such a possibility.
It's really hard to believe... She sighed deeply.
The translator looked very uneasy about getting his employer into such trouble, and kept apologizing to Xue Mi.
"It's not your fault. Who would have thought that I would run into a pervert so easily?" If Xue Mi hadn't shaken hands with the translator, she would never have thought that such a thing would happen to her.
But since this has happened, it is definitely better to be careful.
After all, if she really faced that tall and strong foreigner, Xue Mi knew that she would definitely not be able to win.
Breakfast was delivered promptly at 9:00am.
The young and handsome waiter, pushing a silver metal food cart, knocked on the door politely, just like in the movies.
Xue Mi opened the door, said thank you, and was about to take the food cart when the waiter smiled politely and indicated that she should push the food cart in.
At this time, the translator walked out of the room and was about to say something when his face suddenly turned pale.
Xue Mi immediately realized something was wrong and stepped back quickly, but the young man smiled gently, as if he was facing two easy prey and was ready for a satisfying hunt.
The translator finally couldn't help but scream. As she screamed, the door of another room opposite was opened, and a group of burly men rushed out of the room.
There were six of them in total, all wearing black suits and carrying batons, looking like a group of uniformed thugs.
They were actually professional bodyguards hired by Xue Mi overnight, the kind that could beat ten men at once.
As a weak young woman with not very strong strength, she had never considered fighting the pervert alone.
