0013 Lan Lan's decision
Lan Qin took Lan Lan's little hand and left the venue, the two got into the Lamborghini, Lan Qin said: "The black family is like this, it is very mysterious, they rarely come into contact with ordinary people. Sister help you find a way to get his contact information, hehe, don't say it, that kid does have a bit of a look, worthy of our Lan Lan. ”
"Sister Qin......" Hearing the ridiculous words, Lan Lan glanced at Lan Qin, who was driving, and shouted in a strange tone.
"Don't be shy, sister will definitely help you find a way." Lan Qin loves this cousin the most, and as long as there is an excellent man around her, he will introduce her to her.
"Sister Qin, I can drive back by myself, aren't you going to the airport? Sending me back will not delay your boarding. "Lan Qin is very busy, flying all over the world, and he has to rush to the Singapore branch for a morning meeting early the next morning. It was already 10 o'clock at night at the end of the banquet, Lan Qin's plane was two o'clock in the morning, and now he had to send Lan Lan home first, and the time was really rushed.
"How can I rest assured that you go back alone, I heard that there have been perverts near your home recently, and it is not safe for you to live there alone, and you don't need a few bodyguards and drivers arranged by my sister for you. They'll show up at the door at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so don't say no. When you get home, you don't want to go out. You know? ”
"Perverted? What's the situation? Lan Lan looked at Lan Qin in surprise.
Lan Qin, a woman with an extremely wild temperament, drives better than a man.
She said in a disgusted tone: "Some residents have reported that in the past month, they have always seen a dark shadow moving in the villa area, and the residents next door also said that they feel that someone has been peeping at night." You be careful and stay safe. ”
"I see. Sister, you also pay attention to safety, in two days, I will go to the Hongmeng Pavilion to have a look. Lan Lan nodded obediently, Lan Lan was very busy, and flew back from abroad in order to accompany herself to watch an ancient martial arts performance. She was moved in her heart and decided to go to the Hongmeng Pavilion to sit down.
Lan Qin laughed happily, and reached out to pinch Lan Lan's little face as white as ivory, causing a burst of coquettish complaints.
Lan Qin recalled while driving: "6 years ago, the family was going to add an escape room project to the amusement park, and it really scared us when I heard you say that you wanted to design it yourself. In the end, it didn't disappoint us, and designed such an excellent work of Hongmeng Pavilion. ”
Lan Lan was less than 20 years old at the time, and although she had obtained a double bachelor's degree from the University of California, she had never participated in interior design, let alone the design of a live-action escape room-themed scene. It's not that the family doesn't trust her, it's really a bit unexpected by everyone.
The whole project will invest billions of dollars, hundreds of branches will be opened across the country, and at that time, there were already 7 world-renowned designers out of the design plan, suddenly let a less than 20 years old, no design experience Mao girl to serve as the chief designer, will definitely be opposed by all parties in the family.
The young Lan Lan did not give up easily, and with the support of her uncle, it only took three months to design an amazing plan.
Lan Lan said softly: "Sister Qin, I don't dare to take credit, in fact, most of the ideas of the Hongmeng Pavilion come from my mentor, Mr. Menjing. I'm just combing through and blending the ideas he puts forward with traditional Chinese culture, legends and folk tales. A few more tweaks and changes have been made. ”
Lan Qin looked at his baby sister Lan Lan with a smile, and saw her speak lightly, and some worries in her heart were put down a lot. Lan Lan has spent too much energy on the disappearance of her parents, and her family has always been worried that she will be too persistent and crazy.
Mr. Menjing is indeed a very good man, but Lan Lan has no heart for him, and she will never force Lan Lan to do things against her will, and her feelings cannot be forced. Even if the door mirror is very suitable for being the son-in-law of the Lan family, she will stand firmly on her side.
Lamborghini stopped in front of the villa, and Lan Qin explained a few more words and ran to the airport with one foot on the accelerator.
......
Bite!
There was a prompt sound from the stereo, Lan Lan opened the email, and the sender was the door mirror.
"Dear Lan, I haven't seen your beautiful face for a month, I miss it so much. You are like the sun in the sky, shining on every inch of my heart. In addition, two months later, I was invited to participate in the World Mystery Symposium in China, can you invite you, beautiful lady, to be my female companion? I hope you will grant my request. Your mirror. ”
Lan Lan Hei Dai frowned lightly.
The mentor has a complicated background: he grew up in Europe and China, moved to the United States with his aunt at the age of 18, and is of both Chinese and Austrian descent, and is said to have had one of his ancestors from Egypt.
Although he is very familiar with Chinese, he is still used to communicating in English, and his expression is in line with the standard polite language of English, but she is just a little uncomfortable. She couldn't tell where the weirdness was, but every time she got along with the mentor of the door mirror, she would be unconsciously vigilant.
She was just about to politely refuse, when a new email beep rang in the mailbox.
"Dear Lan, I forgot to tell you that there was a discussion at this event about the mysterious disappearance of the 'Mary Celeste'."
Lan Lan hesitated for a moment and replied helplessly.
"I promise to be your female companion for this event, Lan Lan."
Didi !!
As soon as I turned off the computer, the WeChat on my mobile phone sounded again.
This time, the sender's name is Zi Yanran, who is a friend of Lan Lan from college.
"Lan Lan, why don't you come to play with me when you return to China? I'm angry! "Zi Yanran is half a year younger than Lan Lan, has a cheerful personality, and was Lan Lan's roommate when she was renting a house in college.
Zi Yanran is playful and clever, kind and innocent, and the two are of the same age and soon become good friends.
"Yanran, don't you go to beauty sleep so late, and watch movies on the Internet?" Lan Lan's expression softened, and the displeasure of receiving the invitation to become a female companion was dispelled by the witticism of her friend on the other end of WeChat.
""Chinese Captain" is so good, I went to the cinema twice to watch it is not enough, today there are resources on the Internet, of course I have to watch it a few more times. What about you? Why are you doing it so late? Do you miss me, be honest! Zi Yanran babbled, she has a habit of sending WeChat messages, not word by word, but will split a complete sentence into more than 10 sentences in a row.
The WeChat prompt kept ringing, Lan Lan smiled helplessly, and quickly turned the volume of the phone to silent, otherwise it would be really noisy in the middle of the night.
"Miss you, miss you, I'll go play with you next week."
"Cut, I don't believe it, you are a busy man who has returned to Blue City, so I'll go to you, I can take a day off next Monday!" Zi Yanran sent a few more incoherent messages, and at the end there were a few angry little expressions, which made Lan Lan happy.
Zi Yanran graduated normally, unlike Lan Lan, a student who skipped a grade and graduated with a doctorate at the age of 25, she was just a poor little who was thrown to the United States by her family to gild, and after graduating from college, she returned to her city and opened a clothing design studio.
"Okay, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, so let's get together then." Lan Lan is very happy, she doesn't have many friends, Zi Yanran is one.
Zi Yanran knew Lan Lan's address, and she also knew that the Hongmeng Pavilion in Blue City belonged to Lan's enterprise. Two days later, Lan Lan was going to work in the Hongmeng Pavilion, so she naturally set up the place to meet in the Hongmeng Pavilion.
The two good sisters chatted a few words and shared a conversation that ended after a few good movies that were recently released.
Wow wow wow!!
A shrill siren sounded outside the house, Lan Lan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out, the dark night sky was lit up by a flickering blue light at this moment.
Ding dong!
The doorbell rang, Lan Lan put on her nightgown and walked to the door, where two policemen stood outside.
"Miss Lan, we just received a call to the police, and a black shadow was found in the Blue Bay villa area, according to our investigation, there are often voyeurs in this area, have you found it?"
A middle-aged policeman patiently explained the voyeurism to Lan Lan with a solemn face, and asked her if she had found anything else.
Lan Lan shook her head, remembering what Lan Qin had said before leaving, she couldn't help but be disgusted and asked, "Uncle policeman, what's the situation?" I just came back less than an hour ago and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. ”
The middle-aged policeman raised his hand to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice: "In the past month, we have received 5 calls to the police, saying that there are black shadows in the Blue Bay Villa area, and we called out the surveillance and found that every night after 10 o'clock, there is a person dressed in black near the Blue Bay Villa area, and the residents who called the police are worried that it is a thief, and we visited and found that no one in the 20 households in the Blue Bay Villa Area lost anything." ”
Lan Lan looked at the two policemen suspiciously, wondering why they would pry open her door, she didn't notice anything unusual, let alone call the police. If it's just a door-to-door reminder, just send a community security guard.
As if sensing the confusion of the young woman in front of him, the middle-aged policeman explained: "We found that the area where the man in black often moves is near your villa. ”
Lan Lan was stunned, looked at the middle-aged policeman with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "The Blue Bay villa area is the richest villa area in Blue City, and the security measures are very strict, how can you get into a character like a man in black or a thief?" Doesn't that mean that there are loopholes in the security of Blue Bay Villas? ”
The Blue Bay Villas also belong to the Blue Group, and the security is operated by an international team. The people who live here are either rich or expensive, and there is no room for mistakes.
Lan Lan was a little angry, her family's real estate project was actually broken through by a man in black for a month in a row, she couldn't imagine it.
The middle-aged policeman smiled faintly, he was very uncomfortable with Lan Lan, the information of all the residents in this villa area was in the hands of the police, and he naturally knew who this beautiful and elegant girl in front of him was, and what her identity was, so as soon as she said the questioning words just now, the middle-aged man knew that the other party was a little angry.
"Miss Lan, we didn't doubt the strength of the Lan Group, nor did we find a loophole in the security of the Blue Bay Community, but we have a guess."
Lan Lan settled down, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and seemed to feel that her emotions just now were a little inexplicable, and at this moment she restrained herself and smiled politely at the middle-aged policeman.
"What speculation?"
"We suspect that the man in black who wanders in the villa area of Blue Bay is either a person from the villa area or a master."
