While the two were eating, Pei Sui's cell phone suddenly rang.
It’s Captain Chen calling.
Pei Sui didn't touch his phone. He just reached out and clicked to answer the call, then turned on the speakerphone. Captain Chen's mellow and rough voice came out from the microphone.
"The man who moved Miss Meng's car has been found. He used to work in a car repair shop. His name is Cheng Jie. He was fired after getting into a fight with a customer and has been without a stable job ever since.
The man went abroad that night, obviously to hide from the limelight, so it would be a bit difficult to catch him.
We also checked Ning Weiwei. Ning Weiwei was released on bail by her mother, Lv Qiuling, and she is currently missing.
The main reason I called you is that now that both of them are missing, the investigation into this case may be at a standstill until the two of them are found."
After finishing a long string of words, Captain Chen paused and then added, "Oh, and Miss Meng's car, we can go to the traffic police brigade to tow it this afternoon.
If Ms. Meng is not available, we can also send your car to a designated 4S shop for repairs."
"Okay, got it. Thank you for your help then." Pei Sui was not surprised by the survey results. He just frowned and said in a calm and natural voice, "Thank you for your hard work.
We haven't had dinner together for a long time. Let's have a drink together when He Xian returns home in a couple of days."
"Okay, you two gentlemen, please treat us. I want to drink the most expensive wine! I'm 33 years old and as beautiful as a 40 or 50-year-old. I'm worried about it." Captain Chen joked.
Pei Sui sneered and joked with him for a few words before hanging up the phone and looking up at Meng Sheng.
He explained, “That person fled abroad, obviously because he was afraid of being exposed and arrested.
Therefore, the police investigation will likely focus on Ning Weiwei. Until Ning Weiwei is found, the case will likely not progress very quickly."
Meng Sheng nodded, his expression a little solemn, but his voice was calm and steady. "Yes, I know. There is no evidence, and the person is missing. It is a bit troublesome."
Pei Sui pursed his lips and rubbed his fingers gently, as if he was thinking about something. It took him a while before he spoke out his thoughts.
"It's only been a week since Ning Weiwei was released on bail, and the private detective you hired has been following her closely. She could have planned this, but how did she find Cheng Jie?
Logically speaking, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Ning Weiwei has known Cheng Jie for a long time, and the second is... someone introduced him to her.
The other thing is Ning Weiwei's disappearance. The private detective you hired is quite famous on the night network and has outstanding abilities. She was able to escape from his hands and the police couldn't find any trace of her. I'm afraid..."
His eyes narrowed, a chill in them, and his icy tone was very firm, "Someone is helping her!"
Is someone helping her?!
Meng Sheng paused. In fact, she had a vague premonition in her heart after Ning Weiwei disappeared.
But who will help her?
Whenever this thought came to her mind, there would always be a voice in her heart telling her the answer - Gu Ci.
But shouldn’t Gu Ci know Ning Weiwei?
The two of them didn't have much in common, and Gu Ci was in poor health and spent most of her time in the hospital.
Pei Sui seemed to understand the doubt and hesitation in her eyes. He lowered his eyebrows and frowned at the same time.
After about ten seconds, he spoke again, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will have someone focus on investigating who Ning Weiwei had contact with before she went to prison or after she was released.
As long as she hasn't had any accidents, we can always unravel the details, so you don't have to worry about that."
Meng Sheng moved his lips, thinking that his guess was unfounded, so he didn't say anything.
Moreover, judging from his expression, he might not have thought of this.
However, the relationship between Gu Ci and the Pei family is in a rather awkward position now. If it is not serious, it will be meaningless, but if it is serious, it will not be possible.
She took a breath and nodded slightly, "Yeah, I'm not worried."
With him around, she can be invincible.
The room was silent for about ten seconds before Meng Sheng started talking again.
This is about the academic conference that Yisheng Art Museum and Senlai Art Museum are about to cooperate with Tokyo Art Museum, as well as the legal matters related to the art publishing paper collection.
The legal department of Yisheng Art Museum is usually outsourced to an outside law firm. Ever since Meng Sheng and Pei Sui met, her heart unconsciously leaned towards him out of trust.
So in recent months, she has been looking for Pei Sui for all legal matters related to the art museum.
He also signed a cooperation agreement with Suixing Law Firm and himself.
It has legal effect.
At first, Pei Sui thought it was unnecessary. He was her boyfriend first, and her attorney second.
But Meng Sheng insisted.
Because this cooperation with Tokyo contains many other meanings besides the exchange of interests, there will definitely be a lot of related matters such as business negotiations on the contract.
Even if they are a couple, there is no reason for the entire Suixing Law Firm to suffer.
Suixing Law Firm has three other investors. Although they do not participate in the operation and management, they still receive dividends every year.
This agency fee is not a small amount.
After thinking about it, Pei Sui felt that it made sense and had to sign it.
After roughly understanding the significance and framework of this cooperation, he gave a suggestion: "If we only sign a non-binding letter of intent, it will need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in international affairs.
You can consult your brother about this; he should have a deeper understanding."
“Secondly, academic exchanges usually use the CIMAM (International Council of Art Museums) template agreement. This will only be discussed after all three parties have made a decision.
Another issue is political and cultural compliance, as well as agency rights and withholding taxes for the collection's publication, which also require careful coordination among the three parties."
Later, Pei Sui explained to her in detail many professional terms in international law.
Even if Meng Sheng had a 1TB brain, it would still be a bit too much.
When the conversation was almost over, Pei Sui asked, "When is the academic discussion meeting scheduled?"
"The 18th of this month."
"On the 18th..." Pei Sui pondered for a moment, "I'll go to Tokyo with you then."
Meng Sheng smiled faintly, without questioning his decision, nor did he hypocritically say anything like it would waste his time.
Instead, he said affirmatively, "Okay."
Pei Sui glanced at her, and his pair of cold, frosty eyes seemed to be seeping with warm sunshine, and it seemed as if the ice in front of her was melting bit by bit.
After this topic passed, he thought of Ning Weiwei again and frowned, "I'll pick you up and drop you off at the art gallery and the hospital these days. I'm worried about you driving alone."
No one could have predicted how crazy Ning Weiwei would be.
Will there be some more direct and crazy actions in the future?
