Chapter 278, Room No. 716, Name: Xu Meiying



Zhou Chunhua turned around and scrutinized Lu Ming.

She couldn't trust this man at all.

This was true when I was in school, and it's even more true now.

With a snap, Lu Ming snapped his fingers again.

The waiter came over again, this time carrying a very delicate cake.

The pure white cream is adorned with exquisite fruits.

The chocolate decorations give it a subtle fragrance.

Before the waiter could even touch it, Lu Ming stood up and placed the cake from the plate in front of her.

"Try it, you'll definitely like it."

Meeting Lu Ming's gaze, Zhou Chunhua changed the subject: "Didn't you say that once I sat down, you would tell me how to get to Sha Tin Tsui?"

"Don't rush," Lu Ming said with a smile as he sat back down.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Chunhua felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at.

After all, the last time he gave me that look, he didn't do anything good.

However, the thought of being in such a public place made her feel much more at ease.

Her impression of Lu Ming was not good, even back when they were in school.

During high school, Lu Ming didn't focus on his studies. Instead, he dyed his hair yellow and spent all his time hanging out with hooligans. He was also a henchman of the school bully.

Because whenever the school bully caused trouble for anyone, it was always Lu Ming who took action.

Back then, people would gossip about Lu Ming behind his back during their free time.

After all, he entered high school with the highest score in the entire school.

During the opening ceremony, Lu Ming also spoke in front of all the teachers and students as a representative of the new students.

At that time, he aimed for military academy and aspired to be a soldier.

His inspiring speech captivated not only the new female students but also the upperclassmen who stared at him with shining eyes.

And he put it into action after the start of the school year.

With the highest score in the grade, he was hailed as a top student.

But his good fortune didn't last long; one day, he suddenly stopped coming to school.

The teacher only said that he had taken sick leave. At that time, several girls in the class even made plans to buy gifts and visit him.

Later I heard that they went there, but didn't see anyone.

Two weeks later, Lu Ming came to the school, but from that day on, he seemed like a completely different person.

Instead of paying attention in class, he lies down and sleeps.

At first, the teacher was quite protective of him.

Not only was there no criticism, but even when classmates talked about Lu Ming behind his back, the teacher would speak up for him and criticize those classmates, saying that Lu Ming slept in class but still got better grades than them.

They should be reflecting on themselves and why they are not as good as a classmate who sleeps in class.

Back then, none of the boys in the class gave Lu Ming a friendly look.

However, Lu Ming's grades plummeted, and criticism from his teachers followed one after another.

However, Lu Ming still wouldn't listen. He not only slept in class, but also went from occasionally skipping class to not coming to class for several days at a time.

From that time on, Lu Ming learned to smoke, drink, fight, and get his hair permed.

Later on, he started hanging out with some idle teenagers.

They started bullying classmates, extorting protection money, and arranging fights.

Looking back on the whole process now, it's like an angel falling into demonhood.

She also remembered that whenever the homeroom teacher mentioned Lu Ming, his face was full of regret and heartache.

As a result, none of the teachers liked him later on.

But no one knows why Lu Ming has become like this.

Those female classmates who were once infatuated with Lu Ming, in today's terms, have all stopped being fans.

A once arrogant and high-spirited young man eventually fell into the clutches of a pariah.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Lu Ming's voice pulled her back to reality.

"I'm waiting for you to tell me how to get to Sha Tin Tsui," Zhou Chunhua said irritably.

Lu Ming still didn't answer, but pointed to the cake in her hand and asked, "Why aren't you eating it? Isn't it said that you women can't resist the temptation of desserts?"

“You said it yourself, it’s women who can’t resist.” Zhou Chunhua sneered, “I’m already a middle-aged woman, long past the age where I can’t resist temptation.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Lu Ming's face disappeared.

Whether it was because of his appearance or because she had a prejudice against Lu Ming, she felt that Lu Ming's eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

"If you want to know how to get to Sha Tin Tsui, then come with me to a place." Lu Ming stood up, shrugged irritably, and walked back the way he came.

Zhou Chunhua followed five steps behind.

As soon as we left Yuelai, a nanny van pulled up in front of us.

After the car door opened, Lu Ming turned to the side, tilted his head at her, and gestured for her to get in first.

Zhou Chunhua hesitated for a moment, but gritted her teeth and got into the car.

She would not give up any possibility of finding Nini.

Moreover, she didn't come unprepared today.

If Lu Ming dares to do anything illegal again, she can definitely send him to jail for a few years.

She sat in the back, and Lu Ming sat opposite her.

The car slowly started moving...

"Where to?" Zhou Chunhua asked.

Lu Ming looked out the window and replied, "You'll know when we get there."

They didn't speak for the rest of the journey.

Zhou Chunhua clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with wariness.

However, Lu Ming, contrary to his usual behavior, stared out the window without saying a word.

The car drove for a long time before finally pulling into a sanatorium in the suburbs.

Zhou Chunhua had never been there, and had never even heard of her.

However, the garden design of the sanatorium clearly indicates that it is not an ordinary place.

After all, there were vast grasslands, towering pine forests, magnificent fountains, and this luxurious building with a strong retro feel in front of you.

None of them are cheap.

"Come with me." Lu Ming went up the steps.

Zhou Chunhua followed her inside.

The two young women at the registration desk at the entrance were tall and slender with striking features; they were undeniably beautiful.

The pink nurse uniforms and sky-blue floral nurse caps they wore gave them both a pure and elegant, demure charm and the approachable warmth of angels in white.

"Mr. Lu has arrived."

One of the slightly taller girls greeted them with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded.

The little girl clasped her hands together at her lower abdomen and led them further inside.

Once inside the elevator, the little girl pressed the number 7.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, she followed the path all the way to the end of the corridor.

As Zhou Chunhua walked along the corridor, she noticed that the doors to the rooms on both sides were closed.

Moreover, unlike other sanatoriums and hospitals, the doors don't have peepholes.

The doors here are not only luxurious in appearance, but they also prevent you from seeing inside.

In addition, there is a display screen hanging next to the door of each room.

The notice included the room number, the name and age of the occupant, and any allergies they had.

In short, it's very detailed.

When she stopped, the nurse frantically operated the display screen.

Zhou Chunhua saw on the screen that the room number was 716 and the name was Xu Meiying...
