Chapter 292 Zhang Sheng
As Mr. Lu gets older, he becomes more nostalgic.
Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao looked a little anxious, fearing that the old man's health would be affected by his emotions.
After a sad moment, Mr. Lu held Lu Jingyao's hand tightly and said, "The Chen family has been friends with our family for so many years. If something happens to them, we can't help but help them."
Lu Jingyao nodded quickly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will ask someone to help find it, and notify Grandpa Chen as soon as I have any news."
Xu Youyou also said, "Miss Chen is a lucky person. She will definitely be found. Don't worry, Grandpa."
Mr. Lu nodded, then looked at the two of them and said, "You two should also pay more attention. It's right to go out with a large number of bodyguards like you do now... Like the other girls in the Chen family, she didn't study enough abroad and doesn't like bodyguards following her. She always says things like she's not free... You must not learn from her..."
Listening to Mr. Lu's mumbling, the two of them nodded continuously, and after coaxing him for a long time, Mr. Lu finally went to sleep.
When there were only two people left in the study, Xu Youyou whispered, "Jingyao, what do you think of Miss Chen..."
Xu Youyou was reluctant to continue, but Lu Jingyao understood what she meant and said:
"The person was in Hong Kong City, but he disappeared. With the ability of the Chen family, they couldn't find any trace of him. Most likely, he is gone."
Xu Youyou sighed, which made her more determined to carry a group of bodyguards with her to protect herself.
The next morning, the two bodyguards who were in charge of surveillance came back with news that no one had entered or left the house all day or all night.
Xu Youyou found it very strange. Even if there was stored food at home, there might not be fresh vegetables. Did the people hiding in the house not need to supplement vitamins?
The detective hired by Xu Fang also provided information about the house.
"Boss, according to what they found out, the original owner of this house was an elderly man in his sixties. It is said that he rented it to a young man, but none of the neighbors have seen what that young man looks like. It is said that every time he appears in front of the neighbors, he wears a mask and a baseball cap."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Wearing a mask and a baseball cap to cover her eyes, this guy sounded like a sociopath.
"When was the last time you appeared in front of your neighbors?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Fang: "It was said to be last Friday, which is five days ago."
"You haven't gone out for five days?" Xu Youyou frowned even deeper.
For a moment, she couldn't figure out whether the tenant was really not in the house or was just a socially anxious person.
"Where is the owner of the house? Can we contact him?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Fang shook her head and said, "The old man doesn't seem to live in Hong Kong. He has always lived on an island outside. He doesn't like to come to Hong Kong very much, and he doesn't like to contact people. It is said that he has a strange temper. A few years ago, he had a quarrel with the telecommunications company and directly unplugged the phone line, making it even more difficult for outsiders to contact him."
Xu Youyou thought this was even more strange and asked, "Do you have the specific address of the landlord on the island?"
Xu Fang nodded: "The landlord lives on Lamma Island and has a specific address."
Xu Youyou made a prompt decision and asked two smarter bodyguards to go to Lamma Island: "When you go there this time, you must meet the landlord and tell him that I am interested in buying his house in Mirador Mansion at a high price. Come back in twelve days at the latest."
When the two bodyguards heard what Xu Youyou said, they understood that she took this matter very seriously and did not dare to slack off at all. After packing their clothes in the shortest possible time, they set off.
The person Lu Jingyao found also had the results of the investigation. It was a rare occasion that Lu Jingyao could help Xu Youyou. He had just listened to the content of Xu Fang's investigation and instructed his people to dig up as much other information as possible. At this time, they actually brought back some new content.
"The owner of this house is an old landlord in Hong Kong. He disposed of his properties in the early years. He has a total of five houses in Mirador Mansion and eight other properties in other parts of Hong Kong. The old man originally had two children. His son went to the UK and never came back. His daughter committed suicide for love. He has been living in Lamma Island for retirement these years. He has a bad temper and other relatives ignore him. Only one nephew is still in contact with him."
Xu Youyou asked, "Is my nephew also on Lamma Island?"
Lu Jingyao shook his head and said, "His nephew's registered residence is in Sai Kung, but he usually stays in Hong Kong. It seems that he lent a house for his nephew to live in, and it seems to be the house in Taikoo Shing."
Xu Youyou didn't hesitate too much and immediately asked the driver to prepare the car. The group hurried towards Taikoo City.
Taikoo Shing is one of the old neighborhoods in Hong Kong, and all kinds of equipment and facilities are a bit old. After some twists and turns, Xu Youyou and others finally arrived at the door of the landlord's house in Taikoo Shing.
There is a layer of dust on the door, and the doormat is dirty. I don’t know how long it has been since it was cleaned.
Xu Youyou still asked the bodyguard to go forward and knock on the door.
This time, no one opened the door either. However, the bodyguard lay on top and listened for a long time. Then he turned around and said helplessly, "It seems that there is really no one inside."
As they were talking, the neighbor's door opened and a middle-aged woman in her forties came out.
When the middle-aged woman saw this huge group of people, she immediately became alert: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Hearing the other person speaking Cantonese, Xu Youyou felt like she was listening to a foreign language. However, Lu Jingyao often accompanied his grandparents in Hong Kong during the winter and summer vacations, so he could chat with him easily.
"Sister, we are here to look for Zhang Sheng. We have no ill intentions."
The middle-aged woman listened to this and said, "Zhang Sheng is a good guy. Although he hasn't been home for a while, he has helped us a lot in the past. Don't try to embarrass him."
When Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou heard this, they couldn't help but picture in their minds the image of a young man who respects his friends and neighbors.
"We really have no ill intentions. We just want to contact his uncle through him. We want to buy his uncle's house in Mirador Building." Lu Jingyao said.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, the alertness on her face disappeared and she said, "Mr. Zhang hasn't been here for a while. You won't be able to wait for him here."
Lu Jingyao immediately asked: "Sister, how can we wait for him? We are in a hurry to buy a house."
The middle-aged woman waved her hand and said, "I don't have his phone number, and I don't know how to contact him. If you are in a hurry, why don't you go directly to Lamma Island to find her mother-in-law? He only comes to the house here once a month."
"Once a month? Then when was the last time he came here?" Lu Jingyao asked.
The middle-aged woman tilted her head and thought for a while: "My daughter came back the last time he came over. It seems to have been more than three weeks... How many days exactly..."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at the person coming out of the stairs: "Zhang Sheng, you're back!"
