Two-three-nine. missing
Chen Ji drove Wan Lan to George's mansion, taking the route Wan Tian usually took, he drove very slowly, but still found nothing.
George immediately contacted the police in the concession and called the British embassy for help. The policemen from several concessions came, as well as the police from the Republic of China in Shanghai, and the room was buzzing, with George in red eyes and cigarette butts in the ashtray.
When Wanlan entered the door, George saw her like a life-saving straw: "Lan!
Before Wanlan saw him, on the way here, she had an uncontrollable speculation, she guessed that if Wantian had an accident, she might have died at the hands of George, because he was going back to England, and she obviously didn't want to go back with him.
She shook her head: "No, I discussed with Yuji and decided to come to see you first, and then go separately to find someone." ”
George lowered his head in despair, inserted his left hand into his hair, took a deep breath, and spit out again: "I asked the police, and they said that they didn't receive a homicide report today, she must still be alive." ”
Chen Ji suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I'll ask ...... Chen" He suddenly stopped, because there were still police officers from the Republic of China in the house.
But Wanlan already knew what he meant, and immediately nodded: "Yes, he knows a lot of people, and he can always hear something." ”
He turned around and went out to find the two Wang brothers who came with him: "Can you contact your boss?"
Although the two didn't know what was going on, they listened and watched all the way, and they could guess one out of ten or two, and immediately said, "Please Mingshan follow you, I'll try." ”
Chen Ji nodded, and casually took out a handful of banknotes and stuffed them to Wang Xiaofeng: "For your emergency use." ”
Wang Xiaofeng was not polite to him, took the money and bowed down to thank him, and left immediately.
Wanlan accompanied George in the living room, and after the couple arrived, George was as tired as if he had found his backbone, and he didn't care anymore. Wanlan looked at the idle policemen in the living room, all of them had relaxed expressions, and some of them were also interested in the Western-style sculptures in the living room, and were carefully observing them with great interest.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Wanlan coughed and said with a pleasant face, "I will work everyone tonight, and please help me keep an eye on my sister's whereabouts when I go back." She asked the girl to take Wantian's photos and distribute them to a few concession policemen, "After the people are found safely, the earl and our Xie family will not treat you badly." ”
The policemen naturally believed that her words were true, so they all took the photos and looked at them vigorously, as if they could see her whereabouts from the photos.
"Then I won't delay you," Wanlan barely maintained the smile on her face, "Please." ”
The policemen pushed and shoved out, Chen Ji was standing outside, and when he saw them leaving, he pushed the door in: "I have already sent someone to find Chen Yingshi." ”
George asked, "Who is Anis Chen?"
"A friend," said George, "he knows more people, and even if he doesn't see anyone, he can get a little news." ”
George's expression was dull, he sat on the sofa for a while, and suddenly stood up: "No, I can't sit still, I'm going out to find her." ”
Wanlan hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move, George, let me ask you, why did Ah Tian get lost by herself? Even if she wants to see me, there should be a driver at home to see her." ”
She said she was upset and wanted to walk over by herself to relax. George tugged at his hair and spun around in a frustrated circle, "God, how could they agree to let her out on her own." ”
The inside of the concession is safer than the outside, and Wanlan herself often walks out by herself, she can't help but shudder when she thinks of this, and is glad that she is blessed with a great life, and there has been no accident so far.
She settled down and asked, "Are you ready to go back to England?"
George was not surprised at all, he knew that Wan Tian would definitely discuss this matter with Wan Lan, and even knew that Wan Tian went out this time to discuss with Wan Lan: "Yes, I can't watch my mother's inheritance also be taken over by that woman." ”
Wanlan knew that the woman he was talking about was his stepmother, a close friend of his biological mother's boudoir.
She asked again, "Then after you go back, do you plan to come back?"
Before George could answer, Chen Ji opened his mouth to stop them: "Okay, now is not the time to say. ”
The phone in his hand suddenly rang loudly, Chen Ji picked it up, and it turned out to be Chen Qimei's voice on the other side of the phone: "Yuji, I heard that something happened to your family." ”
Chen Ji was taken aback first: "How do you know ......"
He only stopped talking halfway, and for Chen Qimei, it was really not a trouble to find the phone number of George's home.
Chen Qimei smiled: "Send a photo of her to the Fatima Hotel opened by a foreigner, and give it to the waiter at the front desk, don't come in person." ”
Chen Ji answered, put down the phone, and repeated Chen Qimei's request to George, and before he could speak, George had already pinched a photo and rushed out of the door.
"Send someone to follow him!" Wanlan said urgently, "you can't let him go on his own." ”
The words rushed out, only to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "His mental condition is too unstable." ”
Wang Mingshan was outside the door, and immediately answered when he heard this: "Madam, I'll go." ”
Chen Ji frowned, he knew that Wang Mingshan was used to spy on him.
"I follow this Mr. Yang, I am very familiar with the Fatima Hotel, if there is anything wrong, I can still remind him," Wang Mingshan looked up at Chen Ji at the bottom of the steps, "and ask Boss Chen and Mrs. to rest assured." ”
Chen Ji looked at him deeply for a long time before slowly nodding his head: "Be careful in everything." ”
Wang Mingshan smiled at him, George was already anxious, and urged repeatedly.
Chen Ji and Wanlan waited in the living room, no one spoke, and the self-striking clock in the living room made a dull chiming sound, like a death knell for the souls of the dead. Wanlan couldn't do anything in this atmosphere, coughed lightly, and said to Chen Ji: "That thing, how did you do?"
"He was relieved, and I was a lot less stressed and much easier. Chen Ji didn't finish speaking, and was about to open his mouth to continue, when there was a sudden commotion in the back house, which was faintly inaudible, as if one person was scolding and another woman was crying.
Mr. Housekeeper, who was standing in the living room, hurriedly walked towards the source of the sound, and Wanlan also wanted to follow, but was politely stopped by him: "Auntie, please sit down." ”
The servants in George's mansion were trained according to British rules, and they were courteous, neither humble nor arrogant, and they were very capable of getting on the table.
Chen Ji also said behind her, "Ah Lan, sit down." ”
Wanlan looked at him later, didn't say anything, and sat down as she said. The housekeeper hurried over, Shao Tian's voice was stopped, and after another moment, a maid came with two cups of coffee, and said apologetically: "The girl is ignorant and disturbed my aunt and aunt, please forgive me." ”
Chen Ji was very satisfied with the class of servants taught by George, he took a sip of coffee, praised politely, and asked, "This is what your master taught?"
"Yes," said the maid, who did not want to talk to him too much, and George's teaching that she should step back after serving coffee.
But Chen Ji didn't let him go: "What's the matter?"
"A little thing," she smiled politely, "it's not worth the trouble." ”
Chen Ji sighed: "I heard that the earl is leaving, so some people are ready to move, I don't know if I can find a place to work in the future, so I just steal something valuable and save it first, just in case." ”
The maid was startled: "You ......" She quickly calmed down and sighed helplessly, "You are really discerning." ”
This idiom is a bit strange to use here, presumably she had no education before, and then barely learned a little.
Chen Ji smiled: "Get that person away, and then tell the others, if the earl and the countess are gone, those who are diligent and loyal will be unified to my mansion to serve my aunt and grandmother." ”
The maid was taken aback: "You are talking about ......"
"The gentleman is full of words, in front of my aunt and grandmother, I won't lie to you, just tell them what you say. Chen Ji sipped his coffee and said with a smile, "But if you are active now and are in a hurry to find your next home, then you don't have to force someone to stay, just let him pack up his bed and leave early." ”
The maid could not hide her excitement, bowed deeply and thanked him, and took the order to retreat.
Wanlan complained to Chen Ji: "Ah Tian doesn't know how to do now, how can you beat the idea of his servant right now?"
"I'm here to help him stabilize his backyard, now it's an eventful time, if the people make something happen again, will you take care of it or will I take care of it?" Chen Ji put the quilt on the table, "Give them a reassurance, and they will serve the master well." ”
Wanlan didn't have the heart to argue with him now, Chen Ji explained so, she didn't refute it, just nodded scribbly, and continued to pinch her skirt and look ahead. Chen Ji didn't comfort her, and for her, all the comfort she had now would only make her more upset.
The bell rang again, and it was already half an hour, and George had not returned, and the phone had not rang.
Wanlan couldn't sit still again, waiting was always the most tiring, she first got up and paced back and forth in the living room, and then went to the window to look, and when she turned around, the corner of her clothes accidentally hooked the hook by the windowsill, and was startled.
"Okay, Ah Lan," Chen Ji was a little embarrassed, walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, squeezing it slightly, "You calm down." ”
Wanlan pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, she was now full of confusion, her eyes looked at Chen Ji sadly, seeing that his heart was sour, and she couldn't help but hold her into her arms.
At this moment, the telephone rang suddenly, urgently, restlessly, the receiver jumped on the shelf, a good news...... Or maybe the bad news is coming.
Wanlan almost stumbled over, but the earpiece was picked up by Chen Ji: "Hello." ”
