Xu Liang prepared the relevant documents in advance, as well as proof that the elderly man was currently living in Yian Community.
She asked the doctor who treated the old man when he was hospitalized, and the doctor gave her a contact number and told her to go directly to the Shinan Branch to find Officer Chen.
After Xu Liang arrived, she waited in the front hall for a long time. After confirming with the police officer on duty, she was taken to the office in the back.
Officer Chen carefully looked over the information she brought and had it verified before he was completely relieved.
"Mr. Qi is willing to take this elderly man in unconditionally. He is truly a visionary and kind-hearted entrepreneur."
Xu Liang shook his head and said modestly, "Officer Chen, I came here today mainly to inquire about the missing granddaughter case of Grandma Zhang."
She then pulled out Grandma Zhang's medical diagnosis and explained, "Grandma Zhang currently has severe cognitive impairment, commonly known as Alzheimer's. She may also have post-traumatic stress disorder, and sometimes experiences aggressive behavior and mood swings when stimulated."
"But we don't understand what exactly stimulated her or what the source of her stress is. We're also struggling with caring for her, so we'd like to ask for your help."
Xu Liang tried to explain everything as comprehensively as possible so that Officer Chen could understand her real needs at the moment.
Only then did Xu Ying realize that Lin Cheng’s disappearance was not reported by anyone in the Yikan Nursing Home where Grandma Zhang was at the time, but by the parents of Lin Cheng’s boyfriend.
Police Officer Chen said that the two had lost contact for nearly a month at the time. Because they had mentioned that they were planning to go out for a trip, their parents thought they were going out and even went to the nursing home to visit Lin Cheng's grandmother.
Afterwards, the two planned to clean the wedding room prepared for their two children, but they saw that their ID cards were still at home.
Unable to contact their son and Lin Cheng no matter what they did, they had no choice but to report the case.
Later, the police investigation found that Lin Cheng was supposed to go to Yikan Nursing Home to visit her grandmother after get off work one day. According to the surveillance footage at the time, she last appeared at the subway entrance near the nursing home.
However, the people at the nursing home said they had not seen her come, and the cameras at the entrance of the nursing home did not detect any trace of her.
As for Lin Cheng’s boyfriend, the last place he was captured by surveillance was near the Yikan Nursing Home, possibly to pick up Lin Cheng.
However, neither of them went to the nursing home, and no one around them said they had seen these two people.
The two men had simple social connections and were not rich, so the possibility of kidnapping was quickly ruled out.
There has been no news since then.
To this day, the two have not been found.
In other words, they just disappeared for no reason?
And he has been missing for so long without any news?
Xu Liang had no idea either, so he asked Officer Chen for photos of the two of them, saying he would help him post a missing person notice.
After coming out of the police station, Xu Liang looked at the two photos.
The girl in the photo is very beautiful, with crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes. Her clean and simple face reveals pure kindness.
Those clear eyes seemed to reflect a bit of tenacity, and were full of her passion for life.
She seems to be a very positive and optimistic girl.
The boy and girl were of similar age, not too old, probably around 23 or 24 years old, and they looked quite a good match.
It’s a pity that there has been no news of the two until now, and we don’t know if anything happened to them.
…
After returning to Yian, Xu Liang asked Liu Zhu to prepare for the distribution of missing person notices through both online and offline channels.
She just saw Qi Yu's message.
The note he left for her in his phone was still "Venomous Wild Rose".
But he should have also seen the note she specially changed for him:
"'Arrogant Techno-Geek' asks you, what's going on with you at the police station?"
Looking at the notes on the screen, Xu Liang found it a little funny.
Suddenly there was a strange atmosphere.
A little... ambiguous?
However, she quickly pulled herself back to her senses.
What ambiguity?
They should be fighting each other.
Giving people ugly nicknames is clearly a provocation.
Xu Liang briefly mentioned that he wanted to help the old man find his granddaughter, but there was no response from the other end.
Xu Liang sent him two more messages:
"If you go back to work, Tong Xin still has a position as the vice-president. I will leave it to you. Then you can share some of your and Yi Ling's work."
"Also, can you help me ask my senior brother if he knows Grandma Zhang and Lin Cheng? Grandma Zhang saw my bracelet and recognized Tong Xin, and she also knew Grandpa. Maybe my senior brother will get to know Grandma Zhang if he follows Grandpa."
She had other things to do and turned off her phone.
It's almost half past ten now, and the retirement community should have finished checking the rooms.
The new plan for renovating the community was almost finished on the computer. Xu Liang finished it and planned to go to the community in the afternoon.
…
Song Ying was on night shift today, and she knew Xu Liang was going to the community in the afternoon, so she suggested going with her to see Grandma Zhang.
The two of them met up for lunch at noon.
"So Brother Zhou is going back to Tongxin to continue working?"
Song Ying heard Xu Ying talking about Zhou Qingyue and asked casually.
Xu Liang nodded and said that she would keep his position. Her grandfather had always valued him when he was alive, and this was also the wish of her grandparents.
“It would be nice if grandpa and grandma were still here.”
When mentioning this, Xu Liang couldn't help but feel depressed.
When her grandparents were around, she had someone to back her up, so she could do anything with confidence, whether it was innovation or inheritance, because her grandparents would always support her.
Now she is in a high position, a position that requires her to consider many things. She bears the responsibility of the entire nursing home and is also burdened with the last wishes of her grandparents.
She couldn't make any mistakes and had to be careful with every step.
Although her parents would always guide her, they were not in this line of work after all. Her mother once thought about quitting her job to help her, but she refused.
Her parents' dream wasn't to run a nursing home; they had careers they loved. So Xu Liang always pushed herself to move forward, even if she was alone.
Song Ying knows everything about her, understands her pressure, and understands her stubbornness and strength.
She took the initiative to avoid the topic, stirring Xu Liang's emotions: "Then who are you going to give the management of the abandoned nursing home you just acquired?"
"I plan to hire someone, and then my senior brother, Yi Ling and I will take turns going there for a few days every week. This is more suitable."
Song Ying nodded, and then thought about the recent rating they had to go through, and reminded them, "Although you have acquired the abandoned nursing home and will focus most of your attention on repairing it next month, I still have to remind you that during this period of time, experts will come to review and evaluate it, so you have to keep an eye on Tongxin headquarters."
"Besides, the person over there now is Qi Yu. Try to explain everything as much as possible. Don't let anything bad happen, otherwise the rating will be affected."
Xu Liang had always kept this in mind. When he was still in the self-evaluation period, Qi Yu also said something like this, saying that he would try his best to ensure that Tong Xin would not encounter any bad incidents and asked her to pay more attention.
Talking about this, Song Ying suddenly asked about Qi Yu again.
"How are you two getting along lately?"
Xu Jing picked up a few strands of pasta with his fork and slowly moved them in a circle. Knowing that Song Ying loved gossiping, he said nonchalantly, "What's the matter? Isn't it always like this when I get along with him?"
"Is this true? You two kissed and lived under the same roof, yet you remain indifferent?" Song Ying felt that these two were either ninjas or completely clueless idiots.
Xu Liang is the former, but he can endure it and is unwilling to admit it. Could it be that Qi Yu is the latter?
Xu Liang didn't respond and turned the topic to her.
"How are things going between you and Dr. Wu?"
Just as Xu Liang expected, Song Ying's excitement about gossiping quickly faded away, and he began to avoid her questions.
There was a piece of tender steak on the plate of pasta. Song Ying pretended not to hear: "Try this one, it's so tender and delicious!"
Xu Liang paused for a moment, his gaze swept over her, and she clearly dodged.
After much hesitation, Xu Liang finally spoke out, "Yingying, Doctor Wu is a really good match. He treats you very well and takes care of every detail. Besides, he's a very good person himself. Some people may not be destined to wait, so don't miss out on the happiness that's in front of you."
There was silence on the other side for a long time, and finally it was the same routine that Xu Liang was used to.
Song Ying stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth as if nothing had happened, with the brightest smile still on her lips. "This restaurant is really good. Let's come back next time. I just saw that they have ice cream toast. I want to try it!"
In the end, Xu Liang stopped talking.
No one could make Song Ying speak out the questions she didn't want to answer.
I just feel so sorry for her, having spent five years waiting for someone from whom there was no news at all.
…
In the retirement community, after the last meeting, when 'Qi Yu' came again, the staff on duty at the service station did not have the 'break' time they had last time.
Although there were not many people in the corridor, there were some elderly people willing to come out and take a slow walk leaning against the railings.
There were also a few elderly people playing chess in the activity room.
Xu Liang and Song Ying walked around every room and checked the numbers of almost all the elderly people.
The elderly people didn't know 'Qi Yu' yet, and most of them nodded blankly. Xu Liang patiently introduced himself to them again and again.
A few outgoing elderly people were very friendly and took the initiative to talk about their lives here. Grandma Sun sat by the bed, patted the smart nursing bed under her, and praised it repeatedly: "This new bed is so much better than the previous one! I always had to turn on a bedside night light when I got up at night, and I couldn't sleep well. Now this bed can automatically sense when I get up, and my sleep quality is much better!"
Xu Liang silently recalled in his mind that Grandma Sun liked to try new things. Although she was almost eighty years old, her mentality was still young.
She has underlying diseases, including diabetes for many years, and is taking new blood sugar-lowering drugs. In addition, this grandmother likes to drink water, so she basically gets up at night.
Song Ying tried the empty bed next to her and said, "This effect is quite practical."
As expected, it still depends on money, and Qi Yu is also very generous.
After visiting all the rooms, Xu Liang finally experienced the function of the smart nursing bed.
Song Ying asked from the side, "What do you think, Mr. Xu? I think this high-tech elderly care is pretty good. Although it has some shortcomings in terms of humanistic care, it is indeed very convenient. This bed can directly transmit the elderly's vital signs to the medical system, which can save a lot of time. Are you really not considering cooperating with Qi Yu?"
"The cooperation between you two great Buddhas may usher in a new era of elderly care."
Xu Liang scoffed, clearly not believing Qi Yu: "Come on, he doesn't respect humanistic care for the elderly at all."
The two finally went to Grandma Zhang's place.
Song Ying came today specifically to give her a massage. After the last diagnosis in the hospital, Song Ying went back to study Grandma Zhang's condition. The medication was still based on the hospital's requirements at the time, and she helped with some auxiliary treatment.
The two also took the opportunity to spend more time with the lonely old man.
Aunt Wang used the old man's smart bracelet to find some suitable music and played it beside him. The old man was lying on the bed, and Song Ying was doing meridian massage beside the bed.
Xu Liang was accompanying her on the other side. She turned her head to look at Xu Liang with a smile on her face: "A Cheng, here she comes..."
Xu Kyung also smiled at her: "Yes, grandma."
Song Ying's hand continued to move, and finally stopped at the old man's shoulder and neck.
She suddenly paused, her fingers seemed to touch something, and she looked over suspiciously: "There's a pinhole here."
