The carriage was unusually quiet.
The talkative Gu Huainan glanced at Lu Yi from time to time, much more restrained than before.
Du Guanglong opened the window, puffed on his cigarette, looked at the traffic jam ahead, and impatiently urged Lao Wang to hurry up.
"Stop him, stop dawdling!"
"Turn, take the back road, I'll take responsibility if anything happens..."
Lu Yi frowned, using the process of elimination to deduce Liang Shiyue's whereabouts.
She's not the impulsive type of girl, especially when it comes to relationships; she would never do anything to worry her mother.
But there is a possibility that she cannot control her own actions.
At this critical juncture when Liang Shiyue went missing, Lin Xiaoya, who had been with her the whole time, ended up in the hospital. It would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on!
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, and he took out his phone to call Gu Keke.
"Coco, could you please contact the professor again and check the surveillance footage to see who else, besides Lin Xiaoya, has been in contact with Liang Shiyue?"
He is not used to assuming the worst about others.
At this point, however, we had no choice but to do it.
Upon hearing this, Du Guanglong pinched his thumb and forefinger together to extinguish the cigarette he had just lit, and then groped his bald head with his other hand.
Seeing Lu Yi's ashen face, he said in a deep voice, "Third brother, have we forgotten someone?"
Gu Huainan was scrolling through short videos.
The news of "Lu Yi's girlfriend going missing" has already spread online.
It's unclear who started this trend, but mainstream comments are mocking Lu Yi for deliberately hiding his girlfriend to gain attention...
He angrily pounded the chair, his teeth grinding together.
Hearing Du Guanglong's cryptic tone, he looked up and scrutinized the faces of the group several times, his expression puzzled.
"Who is it? Who else could it be that we didn't expect?"
Old Wang dodged left and right, finally breaking free from the traffic.
We're getting closer and closer to the hospital.
He breathed a sigh of relief and perked up his ears.
The image of Lu Han's arrogant demeanor instantly flashed into my mind.
Lu Yi and Du Guanglong exchanged a knowing glance and said coldly, "Uncle Wang, pull over to the side of the road."
Old Wang was puzzled, thinking he had been daydreaming and misheard. "Stop the car? We'll be at the hospital in less than five minutes!"
Gu Huainan also wanted to ask, but he just looked at Lu Yi in surprise and did not continue to ask.
He felt that he couldn't keep up with Lu Yi's train of thought again.
But who could that person be?
"Huainan, could you please go to the hospital with Uncle Wang and see Lin Hongtao to see what he has to say?"
"Also, if he asks about me, just say that Mr. Huo has something urgent to discuss with me, and I have to go back to the Huo family first..."
The car moved slowly and came to a steady stop next to the curb.
Old Wang and Du Guanglong were both completely confused. "Why do you say that?"
Lu Yi took a deep breath. "Every second counts until we find Xiao Yue. I'll explain everything to you once we find her!"
With that, he nimbly jumped out of the car.
"Be careful!"
As the car started, Gu Huainan quickly moved to the window and gave a message to the person outside.
Without saying a word, Du Guanglong hailed a taxi.
After giving the address, he hesitated several times before speaking.
Fortunately, Lu Han's hotel was only a 15-minute walk away. As soon as he got out of the car, he couldn't hold back any longer. "Third brother, one of the brothers is keeping an eye on him!"
“He’s been staying at the hotel the whole time and hasn’t gone out. I just asked him about it in the car.”
Lu Yi was about to enter the hotel when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What about the people who were with him? Like the nanny, secretary, assistant, or... driver, they didn't leave the hotel either?"
This question stumped Du Guanglong.
"this……"
Seeing the look of sudden realization on his face, Lu Yi knew that his guess was probably correct.
Although Lu Han appeared to have come to Fengcheng alone, she actually had other capable people with her.
And this person would absolutely obey his every word.
Which room is he staying in?
Du Guanglong snapped out of his daze, "806. The elevator's over there..."
In the past few days, countless unfamiliar faces have come and gone from the hotel, making it impossible for security guards, front desk staff, and lobby staff to check everyone's identification.
Seeing that the two of them headed straight for the elevator, appearing quite familiar with the hotel layout, I greeted them with "Hello" and let them pass.
After Lu Han finished taking care of everything, he covered his head and fell into a deep sleep, sleeping soundly until the end of time.
He was woken up by the urge to urinate and went into the bathroom naked.
The sudden banging on the door startled him so much that he stopped urinating halfway through.
"Damn it, who is it?!"
Still half asleep, he reached for a towel on the shelf above the toilet, wrapped it haphazardly around his waist, stood on tiptoe and shook it, then grumbled as he went to open the door.
Bang!
A dark shadow flashed before his eyes, and before anyone could see who was knocking on the door, he was knocked to the ground, half of his body sliding under the bed.
Lu Han's knees were chafed and aching. She was both shocked and scared, and covered her head, afraid to move.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
His voice trembled as he secretly glanced at the newcomer's feet out of the corner of his eye.
Upon discovering that both were men, her heart pounded wildly, like a rabbit trapped in her chest.
"Young Master Lu!"
Du Guanglong squatted down, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and forced him to raise his head. "Tell me, why did I come to find you?"
As expected of the former top secretary of the Huo family, who was once the most prestigious family in Fengcheng, her words alone were enough to terrify Lu Han.
"I...I didn't do anything, I was sleeping, couldn't you see?"
The bath towel slipped to the ground, with only a small portion hanging around the waist, covering the vital parts.
If he hadn't been curled up, he would have been completely exposed long ago.
He knew Du Guanglong, and was terrified of him.
