Chapter 722 is related to him again?
I thought about it and shook my head and refused: "No, we'll stay in a hotel tonight, you can go back by yourself."
My father didn't force me anymore, just nodded and went to the ward.
"If you don't like going home, we can go back to City A and come back tomorrow morning. It's only half an hour away anyway." Xiao Shiqiu considerately put his arm around me and walked towards the elevator.
"You loser! The round trip helicopter ride is enough to keep us in a hotel for several days! Even if you have a mine at home, you can't do that!" I poked him in the chest. "It's not that I don't like going home, but the bed in my room is only 1.5 meters wide, and it's too crowded for two people to sleep in."
In fact, the real reason is that there is no nanny at home now, and the room has not been occupied for a long time. The bedding needs to be changed. It gives me a headache just thinking about it. It is more convenient to stay in a hotel, and there is ready-made breakfast in the morning.
Seeing that I didn't want to go home, Xiao Shiqiu's eyes were filled with heartache. "Baby, I didn't expect that the shadow your family left on you was so big. I really should have recognized you earlier."
I feel like I've lost my girlfriend for a long time.
Since when did I start to feel that home is not as good as a hotel?
I reflected on it seriously and thought that the fundamental reason was that I was too lazy and didn't want to clean the house. Changing bed sheets and quilt covers is quite troublesome. Besides, I can't ask him to cook breakfast when he lives in my house. I also have to save face.
I felt ashamed for three seconds, then raised my face and looked at him affectionately, "I feel very happy to have you in my life from now on. You are the best compensation God has given me."
He hugged me tighter and said, "Hurry up, I really want to get to the hotel right away."
I knew that any affectionate performance from me could make him passionately perform the animal world.
Facts have proved that I know him very well. When everyone feels that they are working like slaves for their boss, Xiao Shiqiu is actually working overtime to be a slave for me, of course, the spring version of a slave.
The next day, before I even opened my eyes, Xiao Shiqiu's phone rang. He picked up the phone and said "Hello" softly. Lawyer He's steady voice rang on the other end of the line, "Mr. Xiao, I'm in T City. Do you think I should come to you first, or go directly to my client?"
I opened my eyes and looked at him. He thought for a moment and said, "You can go directly to the First People's Hospital. My mother-in-law is in a single room on the top floor of the inpatient department. I'll be there in a moment."
After hanging up the phone, he bent down and kissed me, "Baby, do you want to get up now or stay in bed a little longer?"
"Get up~" I stretched lazily, and saw from the corner of my eye that his eyes had darkened again. I thought to myself that something was wrong and quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash up.
The movements are smooth and flowing. If I am a little slower, it will take an hour longer to go out. I have a lot of experience with this.
After having breakfast on the second floor of the hotel, Xiaoyan drove us to the hospital.
On the way, I suddenly remembered the news I heard in the ward yesterday, and casually asked Xiao Shiqiu, "Do you know what happened to Li Meiwei's disappearance?"
Xiao Shiqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know. I don't usually read entertainment news."
Xiao Yan chimed in, "I saw the news. It seems that Lai Meiwei had no films to film recently, so someone in the industry introduced her to a wealthy European businessman. She then went abroad with him, and her family couldn't contact her after that, so they called the police and reported her missing."
"Oh, maybe she is content to be someone else's canary, and she may not really be missing." I started gossiping again.
"Canary?" Xiao Shiqiu looked at me with amusement. "You even know this jargon?"
I was a little confused. "Slang? Isn't that what all the girls kept online are called?"
"Oh~" He raised an eyebrow, "You know quite a lot. What do you call that kept gigolo online?"
I was immediately stumped by the question. Is there a proper name for it? I hesitated and said, "Golden monkey?"
Xiaoyan burst out laughing, and Xiao Shiqiu couldn't help but chuckle. I was so embarrassed that I became angry. "Sister Xiaoyan and I are having a good chat, why are you, a grown man, interrupting us? Sister Xiaoyan, let's ignore him and tell me about Li Meiwei. Is she really missing?"
"It's hard to say. According to her family, Lai Meiwei is very filial to her mother. After she got settled in City A, she brought her mother to live with her.
Her mother said that she usually calls her mother almost every day when she's out filming, but she hasn't called her mother in over half a month. Something must have happened."
I asked, "It took more than half a month to call the police."
"That's not the case. Her mother called the police after not receiving a call from her daughter for three days. However, if someone goes abroad and doesn't contact their family for three days, the police don't consider them missing. It could be that there's no signal where they went, or there could be other reasons. So the police just registered the case but didn't take any action."
The disappearance of people abroad is different from that of people missing in China. Generally, if a person missing abroad is more than 48 hours and there is no concrete evidence to prove that he or she has suffered physical harm, he or she is usually just registered. It is really too difficult to handle cases abroad. It is impossible for the police to check surveillance footage like in China.
"How do you know so much?" Although Lai Meiwei and I have nothing to do with each other, we are still acquaintances. This feels completely different from the news about missing persons that you see on the Internet.
"The person who took over this case was a former colleague of mine. He told me privately that while it may appear to be an ordinary missing person case, it may actually involve an international human trafficking organization. It's probably more than that."
When I heard Xiaoyan's words, my heart suddenly moved, and I subconsciously looked at Xiao Shiqiu. He seemed to have thought of something too.
"Mengmeng, are you a fan of Lai Meiwei? Why are you so concerned about her affairs?" Xiaoyan glanced at me in the rearview mirror.
I shook my head. "That's not the case. I met her on a plane when I was traveling in Europe before, so we kind of knew each other. Suddenly seeing her disappear, it felt like it was happening to me. It was quite sad."
"Oh? She was traveling, too?" I felt like Xiaoyan's police professional habits were starting to emerge, but I didn't mind. I answered her seriously, "She was filming in the Netherlands. We even had dinner together when we stopped in Moscow."
"Just the two of you having dinner together?"
"And my Lao Xiao and Lu Yuanqing, there are four of us." I said casually.
"Lu Yuanqing? The eldest son of the Lu family?" Xiaoyan was a little alert.
"Yes, that's him." I paused, meeting Xiaoyan's gaze in the rearview mirror. "Do you suspect he has something to do with this? Let me tell you, I've always felt that Lu Yuanqing wasn't a good person."
Seeing Xiaoyan frowning in deep thought, I smiled and said, "You're not a police officer anymore, why are you still worrying so much?"
