The two returned to the yard, and soon a servant brought in six sets of clothes and three sets of pajamas.
Meng Sheng was stunned as she watched each servant hold two sets of clothes and show them to her. "Why are there so many..."
She was only staying for one night.
It's not like we're settling down in this old house.
The servant replied with a smile, "The old lady said that it's better to be prepared. Everyone has different tastes and styles of dressing, so naturally we want you to have the choice. You can wear whichever suit you like.
If you like them all, you can take them with you back to Chengnan tomorrow."
"I see. Thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Sheng came back to his senses and nodded slightly to thank them.
Several servants helped hang the clothes in Pei Sui's cloakroom, politely said, "It's your duty, go to bed early," and left the room.
Pei Sui asked beside her, "Shower first?"
She nodded and took a set of apricot silk pajamas, "I'll go first."
She took a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom. When she came out, half an hour had passed, and her wet hair was still wrapped in a towel.
Pei Sui found a hair dryer, asked her to sit on the sofa, and helped her blow dry her hair.
This isn't the first time I've helped her.
Compared to the previous two times, his technique was much more skillful this time.
It took more than ten minutes for her hair to be blow-dried.
Pei Sui put away the hair dryer, took his pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Meng Sheng didn't move and continued sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone. Suddenly, a WeChat message flashed above the phone.
It was from a private investigator.
She tapped her finger and clicked into WeChat: [Ms. Meng, Ning Weiwei is missing. She seemed to have noticed my presence. I was afraid she would notice me this afternoon, so I kept my distance from her. As a result, I lost her.]
I looked for her everywhere but couldn't find any trace of her, so I had to go back to the hotel where she was staying to wait for her, but she didn't come back. I felt something was wrong, so I asked the hotel staff, and they said she checked out in the afternoon.
I'm sorry, Miss Meng, I will try my best to find her. 】
Lost you?
Meng Sheng frowned, his outline hidden in the shadows, his expression unclear.
According to the private detective's daily schedule report, Ning Weiwei has been relatively single since she was released from prison and has not had any contact with other people.
She spent most of her time in the hotel, didn't mention looking for a house, and didn't even contact her mother, Lu Qiuling.
Until now, Lu Qiuling is still looking for her everywhere, just to get her back on track.
But for Ning Weiwei, who was blinded by wealth, she would never be content with being ordinary because she had some things.
And those things have long become her obsession.
She was deep in darkness, and there could be no light.
It’s pitiful for all the parents in the world. Everything Lu Qiuling did was probably in vain.
After being a teacher for so many years, he was finally betrayed by his own daughter.
Meng Sheng pursed his lips, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and he inexplicably felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Her intuition told her that Ning Weiwei would not give up easily.
There must be a trick waiting for her.
This is also the biggest reason why she has been asking private detectives to help keep an eye on Ning Weiwei.
But now Ning Weiwei is out of her control...
She imagined in her mind the places Ning Weiwei could go or would go. Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated and a crisp "ding" sound rang out in the quiet room.
She immediately brought all her thoughts back.
Another text message popped up on the phone.
At 10:16, Ning Weiwei will secretly use the key she previously made to enter the art gallery through the southwest gate. Her lust will burn through the exhibition. Stop her now!
Meng Sheng's pupils shrank and his heart suddenly tightened.
My first reaction was that it was ridiculous!
Burning down an art exhibition?!
Is Ning Weiwei crazy?!
Wasn't those two months in jail enough?!
What also surprised her was that Ning Weiwei actually had a key to the art museum.
She has been away from her job for so long. Given her previous despicable behavior, if she really had the key, why would she wait until now to attack the art museum?
As Meng Sheng’s best friend, Ning Weiwei definitely knows how important the art museum is to her.
but……
Meng Sheng listened to the sound of raindrops and the muffled thunder outside.
Why did Ning Weiwei choose to set fire on a rainy day?
She frowned and subconsciously looked at the time in the upper left corner of her phone. It was already four minutes past ten, only twelve minutes before the reminder time in the text message.
The southwest gate is the place with the weakest surveillance among the four gates of the art museum, and it is also the farthest from the four exhibition areas.
The cleaners who often clean the art museum rarely go through that door.
However, that happened to be the main switch area of the art museum, and there was an elevator at the end of the corridor that could go directly to the office area on the second and third floors.
Thinking of this, she had to put aside the endless doubts in her mind again, and without further delay, she quickly found the phone number of the security team leader from the address book.
"curator……"
The security captain was a little surprised when he received Meng Sheng's call at this time.
Meng Sheng didn't waste any time talking to him and asked directly, "Didn't it rain in the south of the city tonight?"
The captain replied in surprise, "Yes, after the rain stopped around four in the afternoon, the sun came out for a while."
Her heart sank as she asked, "Who's on duty tonight?"
The captain replied truthfully.
The museum's security department, including the team leader, consists of ten people in total, working in two shifts, and usually conducts night patrols every two to three hours.
Meng Sheng didn't hide it. "Send someone to guard the southwest gate immediately. Someone wants to burn down the art museum tonight."
"Wha…what?"
The captain launched himself into the air and said, "Who is so brave... I understand. I'll make the arrangements right away. Don't worry, Director, leave it to me."
He hung up the phone in a hurry and called several security guards who were on patrol to inform them.
When Pei Sui came out of the bathroom, he saw Meng Sheng sitting on the sofa, staring at the vintage vase on the shelf in the distance. He seemed to be in a daze, with his brows furrowed, and he was obviously a little uneasy and restless.
He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Sheng came back to his senses in a trance, raised his eyes and looked into his deep eyes which always had a hint of coldness, making people feel that it was difficult to approach him.
A refreshing and pleasant cool fragrance wafts towards the tip of the nose.
Not unfamiliar.
Because she used the same shower gel when she took a shower.
She opened her mouth and was about to explain something when Meng Sheng's phone suddenly rang.
It was the head of the security force calling.
"Director, we just saw a very suspicious dark figure circling near the southwest gate, but the person behind him saw us and left. We didn't catch up with him."
Meng Sheng pursed her lips. Although she had called to alert the security, the incident had not been completely avoided and she was still worried.
Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did you see the man's appearance clearly?"
"No, he looks very cautious, wearing a black mask and a large hat. He's probably not very tall, though. Director, do you think we should call the police?"
After calling the police, what should she say to them?
In the absence of any concrete evidence, she couldn't possibly say that she was alerted by a mysterious text message, right?
