Mingren had his first formal communication with Feng Ce. How should I put it? He felt an oppressive feeling. He didn’t look like an ordinary person. Instead, he looked like a powerful Taoist priest. But when he felt it carefully, the feeling of oppression was gone.
It seems that everything that happened before was just an illusion.
Mingren frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
On the other side, Lenny was telling Wen Qi what had happened with red eyes.
Last night, after Guan Changfeng sent her and Catherine back to the hotel, the two of them took a shower and went to bed. Because the day's schedule was very tight, they had been talking about work since they got off the long-distance flight. Now that the dust has finally settled, they just want to have a good rest.
But before going to bed, they made an agreement. The next day, that is, today, they would visit various scenic spots in Yunhai City and taste authentic Chinese food as a reward for successfully reaching an agreement.
When she woke up in the morning, Lenny sent a message to Catherine, but there was no response. She just thought that Catherine had not woken up yet. She tried to contact Catherine again after breakfast, but still failed.
Lenny was a little unhappy at this time. Although today was a holiday, as an assistant in a foreign country, she shouldn't be up so late and make her, her boss, wait so long.
By ten o'clock in the morning, Catherine still hadn't replied to her message. Lenny couldn't sit still, so he went to Catherine's room and knocked on the door - for safety reasons, they lived in a suite with two bedrooms and a living room.
Lenny didn't expect that the door would open as soon as he knocked. Looking over, he saw a few clothes at the end of the bed. They were the suit that Catherine wore yesterday, but the bed was very tidy and didn't look like anyone had lived there before.
Catherine went out last night and hasn't come back yet! Naturally, Lenny made this guess and became even angrier.
On the one hand, they were worried about Catherine's safety. After all, this was a completely unfamiliar place. Even though Catherine's ancestral home was in China, she had never lived in this city.
On the other hand, what annoyed her was that Catherine actually left her in the hotel, went out alone and did not come back at night! Who knows which handsome guy she is sleeping in now! Lenny wiped her tears and said, "I really thought so at the time, and I was very angry. But until noon, I did not contact Catherine, which was very different from her usual rigor. Even if she did not come back all night, she should not leave me no message at all. I realized that something might have happened."
It was around 1 p.m. when Lenny went downstairs to the front desk to request the surveillance footage.
But after watching the surveillance footage for two hours straight, including the elevator, front door, and even the stairs and back door, there was no sign of Catherine anywhere.
Lenny had to admit in horror that Catherine had disappeared inexplicably.
At that moment, Lenny thought of many ancient, mysterious and terrifying legends about China. He scared himself and almost fainted. It took him a long time to recover before his breathing returned to normal.
The hotel staff was so scared that they had to call 120.
Then, the staff wanted to call the police but were stopped by Lenny. She felt that it was useless to call ordinary police for such a bizarre matter, but she didn't know the Chinese Taoist priest, so she finally found Feng Ce in a panic.
After learning that Feng Ce's wife Wen Qi was the Heavenly Master, Lenny cried out of relief.
Lenny grabbed Wen Qi's hand, crying, "Please, you must find Catherine, even if..." She choked and said in a trembling voice: "Even if it's a corpse..."
Wen Qi patted her soothingly, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. Now, I'm going to check on your hotel room."
Lenny nodded repeatedly, wiped away his tears, and was about to take Wen Qi and Mingren back to the hotel.
Feng Ce also followed silently.
Guan Changfeng wanted to cry but had no tears, and silently shouted: "We can't get involved in Mr. Feng's matter, why are you following him? You haven't finished your work yet!"
Feng Ce seemed to know what he was thinking. Before leaving, he turned around and asked him a question in a very dignified manner, "As a partner, shouldn't I care about something so serious?"
What else could Guan Changfeng say? He could only smile and nod, "I think so."
Feng Ce nodded and said calmly, "Thank you for organizing the documents. If you need my signature, you can send the electronic version. If you can't send the electronic version, wait until I come back."
Guan Changfeng continued to smile, "Okay, Mr. Feng. Take care, Mr. Feng."
Feng Ce stared at him and said, "Your smile is too fake. You don't have to laugh if you don't want to."
Guan Changfeng's face fell instantly.
Feng Ce nodded with satisfaction, "It's much better now. See you later."
Guan Changfeng took a deep breath. Considering his annual salary... this is what he should do!
Wen Qi walked in and took a look around, his eyes flashing with gold, and finally locked onto the bedroom on the right, "Is this Catherine's room?"
Lenny's eyes were still red and he looked very depressed, "Yes, it's her room."
Wen Qi signaled Mingren that he could start investigating.
Mingren took out a small paper man from his pocket and put two red dots on the man's face with cinnabar. The man instantly climbed up and jumped off the ground.
The little paper man jumped into the room, rolled twice on Catherine's clothes at the end of the bed, then returned to the door and walked inside while pretending to take off clothes.
Walking to the bed, the little paper man pretended to throw clothes on the bed, but did not stop and went all the way to the bathroom.
Wen Qi showed an interested look when he saw this, "Your paper figure actually has such a function." The scene was reproduced and it was very practical.
Mingren touched his nose embarrassedly, "It's just a little trick, as long as you collect enough breath."
At this time, Feng Ce walked behind Wen Qi, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I can let you see directly what happened last night."
Wen Qi's earlobes were numb from his hot breath. She raised her hand to rub her ear and warned him in a low voice: "Stop it, we are doing business."
Feng Ce snorted in dissatisfaction.
Wen Qi had no choice but to put his hands behind his back, hold his hand, and comfort him a little.
Feng Ce pinched the soft flesh on her palm and was barely satisfied.
Not long after, the paper man came out of the bathroom, walked to the closet, and made movements of taking clothes and putting them on.
At this moment, the paper man suddenly staggered, took two steps back, with his hands on his neck, as if struggling.
Wen Qi's expression was startled, and he watched the paper man's actions carefully.
Something seemed to be pulling the paper man's neck and dragging it backwards, all the way to the window, and then pulling it out! "Ah!" Lenny exclaimed, pointing at the window and shouting uncontrollably: "This is the twelfth floor! Did Catherine fall out of the window?!"
As he was speaking, the paper man floated back with the wind, jumped back onto Mingren's body, and took the initiative to crawl into his chest pocket.
"It must have been taken away by something." Mingren explained: "The paper figure didn't fall down, and the scene ended outside the window."
Wen Qi also nodded and said, "Something flying must have taken Catherine away from the sky, so the surveillance camera didn't capture anything."
Lenny covered his eyes, "Then where will she be taken... Please, save her."
Wen Qi frowned and suddenly asked, "Cellphone, where is Catherine's cell phone?"
Mingren knocked on the little paper man on his chest, and the paper man jumped down again, ran under the bed, and dragged out a mobile phone.
When I picked it up, I saw that it had run out of battery and was turned off.
Wen Qi plugged in the charger, and the phone screen lit up after a while. Just like Lenny said, today's communication was full of her calls and messages, but because the phone was muted, Lenny, who was separated by a wall, could neither hear nor see, so he mistakenly thought that Catherine went out by herself.
"Have you got any idea?" Feng Ce asked.
Wen Qi walked to the window and felt it carefully. "There is no evil spirit. It is not a ghost. If it is a spirit, there are too many possibilities. If it took Catherine away for food, it has been almost a day and a night. Catherine may have been killed."
Hearing this, Lenny burst into tears again.
"Don't cry yet." Wen Qi said with a smile: "I'm talking about local monsters. If it's an evil species from outside, maybe she can still be saved."
Mingren was stunned, "What alien species?"
Wen Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "For example, vampires." (End of this chapter)
