Chapter 144: Leave
Zhan Tingyu's whole person was as if he was petrified, standing under the cherry blossom tree, at this moment, no one except himself could understand the earth-shaking in his heart.
Only one voice and thought echoed in his mind, it was her, it was her!
Zhu Hong was a little worried about his state, "Sir, you ......"
Zhan Ting turned around suddenly, and the light in his eyes startled Zhu Hong, "Don't go back to Cold City." Go find her, use all your manpower to find her, quick!"
Zhu Hong was taken aback, "Miss Gu?"
"Hmm!" Zhan Tingyu's expression was cloudy and frightening, and Arnold suddenly realized something from his expression, "Sir, you have promised to let your wife go, and you can't go back." ”
Zhan Tingyu glanced at her, and at that glance, there was almost no warmth, and he didn't answer her question directly, but was talking to Zhu Hong, "Lock her up, she is not allowed to come out without my permission." ”
After saying this, he turned around and took out his mobile phone to dial the men who settled in City B.
"Sir......" Arnold stepped forward quickly and stopped in front of him, even though Zhan Tingyu's momentum was pressing at this moment, even though she knew that what she said next might anger him, but she had to say, "Sir, the freedom that Mrs. bought with her life, since you promised to let her go, you can't go back!"
Zhan Tingyu didn't seem to hear her words, and ordered directly to the subordinate on the other end of the phone, "Go find Gu Zixi's whereabouts, and I want her specific location within ten minutes." ”
"Sir!" Arnold's eyes were filled with disbelief, "you know the character of the wife, if you force her back, she would rather die." Mr...... She's so hungry for freedom, she's so pathetic......"
"Say no more!" Zhan Tingyu let out a low roar, his brows furrowed, and there was anger in his eyes.
Arnold knew he was really angry.
Arnold bit her lip, and she suddenly remembered what Zhu Hong had told her before: "I have followed my husband for so many years, and I have never seen him change what he has decided." ”
He decided to let his son go, but now he regrets it, why?
…………
At this moment, a train from City B to Los Angeles slowly stopped, and on the radio, the voice of the female announcer announced the arrival time and arrival name in a standard manner.
"Ma'am, ma'am, wake up......" Zi Xi vaguely felt that someone was pushing her, she woke up from a deep dream, and raised her eyes to see the smiling face of the flight attendant, "Madam, it's time to stop." ”
Zixi turned her head and glanced out the window, with tiredness between her eyebrows, after a day on the train, she was now extremely tired.
"Is it L.A.?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am. The flight attendant replied with a smile.
Zixi dragged his suitcase off the train, a strange city, an unfamiliar platform, it was already night, the lights in the station were on, hanging above his head and emitting a faint light. A gust of wind blew, a little cold, she reached out to wrap her coat tightly, and pulled her suitcase in the direction of the platform exit.
Los Angeles, a city far away from the cold city and far away from City B, she needs to stay in this place, maybe put down roots here. After the wind calms down and she is sure that Zhan Tingyu will not be entangled anymore, she will secretly return to Cold City and continue to find Shen Xiao's whereabouts. Now is not the time, in case the court of war is reversed......
Standing on the steps outside the crowded train station, she took a deep breath, sucked all the completely unfamiliar air into her lungs, and then exhaled it comfortably. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes finally came back to life.
I found a small hotel to stay in and ordered a simple dinner. The train bumps all day made her feel very tired, she took a shower and just lay in bed and watched TV.
Her purse was deflated, and there were less than five hundred dollars left. She didn't take the money given by Zhan Tingyu, since she wants to break it, let's break it cleanly. All this money is her own money, the money she worked for before, and now the card is empty, and all the belongings in her body are only these five hundred yuan.
Stay here for one night tonight, and ask the owner tomorrow where there are cheaper houses to rent. Find a simple place to live, and it will be stable. As for money, she has hands and feet and a little wisdom, she can find a job and earn money.
Zixi leaned on the bed, pinching the five hundred yuan, feeling that he had been numb for so long, and finally had a little humanity restored.
With the five hundred dollars in her hand, she quickly fell asleep.
She slept until midnight, and heard a voice in a daze, but she didn't care about it at first, until she grabbed the five hundred yuan in her hand with both hands, and Zixi woke up suddenly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a dark shadow in front of her bed through the faint light in the room. Realizing that she was awake, the man snatched the money from her and jumped out of the window.
"Ahh Before she could take a single step, she fell to the ground with a thud.
Zixi turned on the light and walked to the window by leaning on the wall, but where was there still half a figure in the black hole outside?
That's all her belongings, and without the 500 yuan, what is she going to do here?
Zixi closed the window, limped out, found the front desk, and told what had happened.
The proprietress is a very enthusiastic person, but as soon as she heard her say that there was a thief, the old man immediately pulled his face, and said unhappily: "Little girl, you have to be responsible when you speak, my store has been open here for more than ten years, and no one has ever reacted to your situation when you come to stay in the hotel." I see your face is frighteningly pale, are you having a nightmare?"
"No!" Zi Xi hurriedly explained, "It's not a dream, it's true, you go with me to take a look, that person just jumped out of the window." ”
Zixi was too anxious, she reached out to pull the boss's clothes, and wanted her to go with her to see, but the proprietress unceremoniously shook off her hand, and her tone was already very displeased, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense about unnecessary things, I still have to open the door to do business here, if you say this, if you intimidate other guests and cause my losses, will you compensate?"
"I ......" Zixi didn't expect that the innkeeper's face changed so quickly, and she was stunned for a while.
The proprietress looked at her soft and weak appearance, waved her hand and said, "It's not early, you must be having a nightmare, go back and rest." ”
Zixi bit her lip, "But that's all my money, just lost it, what will I do tomorrow?"
When the proprietress heard this, her eyes widened, "What should I do? How do I know what you should do? I didn't take it, and you told me that it was useless." ”
After saying that, the proprietress turned her back and ignored her.
It's useless to say it's useless.
Zi Xi took a deep breath, and her tone became a little tougher, "If you don't help me track it down, then I'll call the police and let the police deal with it." ”
"If you want to call the police, you can call the police, but it is difficult to say whether the police can come or not. The proprietress said with a smile, looking completely unafraid.
Zixi frowned, "What do you mean?"
Syllable!
The proprietress slapped the things in her hand on the table, supported the corner of the table with one hand and crossed her waist with the other, and continued to look at Zixi with a smile and said: "Little girl, it is the first time you have come to Los Angeles, haven't you heard of the origin of Los Angeles, which has been the territory of bandits' dens since ancient times? As for theft, of course, you have to take care of your finances when you go out, and the police in Los Angeles are busy with peace and prosperity all day long, which thing is not more important than you?"
Zi Xi could hear it, the proprietress was a little intimidating in and out of her words, and she suddenly thought that the room where she lived was the backyard of the hotel when she jumped out of the window. That person can slip away so fast in the middle of the night, and he knows so well, either he is a repeat offender or someone in this hotel.
Zixi didn't plan to listen to her rambling anymore, and it was impossible to be frightened by her few words of intimidation. I took the landline phone on the bar and dialed the alarm.
"Los Angeles police station, who?"
"I'm going to call the police. When Zi Xi said this, the hotel proprietress was still leaning there looking through the account books, and she didn't take Zi Xi calling the police seriously, Zi Xi glanced at her and continued: "I was in a hotel at the train station, and my money was stolen. Right...... The amount?"
Zixi is really afraid that they will really care if they know that it will be five hundred yuan, and the attitude of the proprietress has already made her feel that what she said is not false.
For others, the 500 yuan may be just the price of a meal, nothing remarkable, but for the current Zixi, it is all the belongings. Without those 500 yuan, she will not be able to move an inch in this strange city. It's chilling to think about.
She paused and whispered, "I lost 50,000 yuan." Yes, please call the police as soon as possible......"
Before Zi Xi's words were finished, the phone in his hand was directly snatched away by the hotel proprietor, "Hey, comrade police, that little sister was joking with you just now." How can you lose 50,000, it's definitely not 50,000, it's 500 yuan, right......"
Zixi reached out to grab the phone, but she had already hung up first, "The police said that they would come over when they were free." ”
"Do they really say that?"
"Of course, I said you go to sleep first, don't stand here. "The hostess started to chase people.
She didn't go back to her room, but sat down on the sofa in the hospitality hall of the hotel, "I'll just sit here and wait for the police to come." ”
The proprietress rolled her eyes, "Whatever you want." ”
And he left her alone.
From more than eleven o'clock in the evening, until half past one in the morning, it is getting colder and colder.
