Located on the eighteenth floor of the hotel is a suite, although it is not a presidential suite, but the reception room, room, bathroom, and a large floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the new area of S City, all make Lu Yao feel that his "temporary guest" has finally been taken seriously.

As soon as the long-dead mobile phone was charged, all kinds of text messages and missed call prompts flocked to it.

Lu Yao looked through the past one by one, there was a news from the TV station informing her of the recording time of the show, there were photos of the camp and Simba sent by Eric, there was a message from Xiao Meng asking if he had arrived safely, and ......

Lu Yao slid the phone screen up and down, looking at this unfamiliar number, from last night until just now, a total of dozens of calls were made to her, it seems that her mobile phone is out of battery because of it, before Lu Yao called back, Master Meng's call came.

"Haruka? Where are you? ”

"I ......" Everything that happened yesterday was too sudden, and she actually hadn't contacted Xiao Meng at all, so she lied to Lu Junfeng that she would go to Xiao Meng's coffee shop, she just wanted to find a reason to leave.

"Haven't you been back to South Africa yet?" Xiao Meng's tone was a little anxious, "Where did you go yesterday?" The phone has not been able to get through, and I thought something had happened to you! ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Yao sensed something strange from Xiao Meng's words.

Since she didn't tell Xiao Meng that she was still in China at all, then according to the time, if the plane was not delayed, Lu Yao should have just gotten off the plane now, because they were all on the plane before, Xiao Meng naturally couldn't make a call, why would he think something was wrong because he couldn't get through to his own phone?

Xiao Meng didn't care about the explanation, and said anxiously: "Where are you now?" I'll pick you up! ”

So Xiao Meng knows that he is still in S City!

"I'm still at the hotel I was staying at before."

"Okay, you just wait at the hotel, I'll come over right away, and I'll talk about it when we meet."

Xiao Meng hung up the phone in a hurry, although Lu Yao felt that Xiao Meng was a little strange, but he thought that he would come over in a while, even if there was anything, he would know immediately.

Xiao Meng really came "immediately", because Lu Yao changed the room, so he called her in the hotel lobby.

Lu Yao said on the phone: "You just wait in the lobby, I'll come down, just go have a meal together." ”

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and when the door was opened, Lu Yao was squatting to tie his shoes, and he stood up and was about to step out of the elevator after tying it, but his eyes were caught off guard by a person standing outside the elevator.

Lu Yao stood in the elevator and didn't get out, and the man stood outside the elevator and didn't come in, the two looked at each other like this, and their eyes were patrolling back and forth on their respective faces, but they didn't dare to fall easily.

Finally, before the elevator door closed automatically, the man outside the door reached out to block it.

"Brother Tang Fei, what are you doing standing outside the elevator? Has it come down from afar? Xiao Meng walked quickly from the lobby to the elevator.

In the end, they didn't go out, and ate directly at the hotel restaurant where Lu Yao was staying.

Because it is an internal restaurant in the hotel, it is usually not open to the public, plus Lu Yao and they have only four or five tables of people, and there are not many waiters, and there are only occasional conversations in the whole restaurant, and the atmosphere is quiet.

Lu Yao and his entourage sat by the window, the restaurant was on the twelfth floor, and outside the transparent glass wall was the appearance of the new city of S City under construction.

Lu Yao has been to many places, and feels that every city seems to be like this, the bustling old city has become crowded day after day, year after year, and the old dragon clock has almost reached a saturated state, so that the people who live in the city can breathe quickly. As a result, a new city quickly emerged on the other side of the city, extending the city outward, moving the population, facilities and center of gravity out little by little, giving the city new vitality and future.

This new city in S City was built very quickly, at least before Lu Yao left, it was just an inaccessible tidal flat, and now it can even be advertised in the new real estate with petty bourgeois advertising slogans such as "A home facing the sea and spring flowers is not a dream".

"When Brother Tang Fei came to me yesterday, I thought to myself, 'Damn, didn't you miss it again!' Later, Brother Tang Fei told me that you didn't go back to South Africa, but he went to the hotel to look for you and didn't see you, and thought you were with me. ”

Lu Yao held the teacup in her left hand, her right hand on the dining table, her index and middle fingers alternately knocked on the tabletop, making a rhythmic percussion sound, her eyes only fell on her fingers, and she listened to Xiao Meng's explanation quietly.

And there was another person who also set his eyes on her.

"Yaoyao, how have you been in the past few years?" This was the first thing he said to Lu Yao since he appeared.

Lu Yao then moved his gaze to the person who said this, showing a little bit of "respect", Lu Yao said: "How do you know that I didn't leave?" ”

Tang Fei had already guessed that she would ask such a question, he stared at Lu Yao's face, looking extremely seriously, but he smiled and said nothing.

Lu Yao flattened his mouth, and complained in his heart: "This person is still the same, the more anxious you are, the more he will take Qiao, just wait for you to take the initiative to call him a nice sound, and you have to pull his sleeve and beg him cutely and coquettishly, so that he is willing to give you a little 'benefit'." This man is like this, and that man is like this, only she is a person who has changed a long time ago, but they all deceive themselves that Lu Yao is still Lu Yao, and nothing has changed. ”

"Brother Tang Fei must have called the TV station and knew that you would stay in China to do the show!"

"When did he come to you yesterday?"

"It's past nine o'clock in the evening......"

"I only received a call from the TV station asking me to continue participating in the recording of the program at about eight o'clock in the evening, but your brother Tang Fei had already gone to the hotel to look for me before this, and then went to you again because he didn't find me, so he is an unpredictable prophet?"

Lu Yao's serious ridicule provoked someone to finally hold back their laughter.

"Okay, don't be weird." Tang Fei put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, leaned back on the sofa, and his bright eyes were clear, "Just ask whatever you want." ”

Lu Yao bluntly asked the doubts in his heart: "Is it you who reported me to South Africa?" ”

Lu Yao stared at the folds on the chest of his shirt and the faint halo under his eyes, and at first glance he was a person who had just taken a long-haul plane.

As soon as he got off the plane yesterday, he should have known that she hadn't returned to South Africa, so he ran to find Xiao Meng when he went to the hotel to find her unsuccessfully, because if he didn't know, then the most likely thing he would do after missing the hotel was to go directly to the airport to stop her!

Tang Fei knew that he might not be able to stop himself in S City, so he put pressure on the South African side in a roundabout way, he didn't need to stop her, he could just let her go!

It seems that she really wronged Lu Junfeng.

"Whistleblowing? What whistleblowing? What's going on? Xiao Meng thought that Lu Yao would not return to South Africa for the time being because he wanted to stay in China and continue to participate in the recording of TV programs, didn't he?

"Your brother Tang Fei, in order to block me, reported my illegal stay in Kenya back then."

"What! You were smuggled in the past!! ”

Lu Yao felt that Xiao Meng seemed to have misplaced the focus......

Although this matter has passed, Lu Yao is sitting in front of him completely empty at the moment, but as a second-generation mainstream gangster Comrade Xiao Meng, who has been in the gray area all the year round, how can he not know that Lu Yao, a little girl in her early twenties, didn't know which country she had found and how many sins she had paid before she smuggled out of the country!

If even one of them goes wrong, she may completely disappear from this world, and she will quietly disappear into a wisp of lonely ghosts floating in a foreign land!

"Wait, wait......" Xiao Meng seemed to think of something, "If Tang Fei is the person you said that you accused you of 'illegal stay', then ......"

Xiao Meng turned his head with difficulty to look at Tang Fei, who was leaning on the sofa and sitting in a relaxed posture.

Faced with Xiao Meng's incredulous frightened look, Tang Fei quickly explained this time, "If I was the one who helped her smuggle her out back then, then I wouldn't have been looking for her for ten years." ”

Xiao Meng came back to his senses at this time, and Tang Fei was right.

Since Lu Yao left ten years ago and lost all the news, Tang Fei has always kept in touch with him in the past ten years, and he probably also wants to know whether Lu Yao will return to China through himself for the first time, so Tang Fei should be the same as himself, he just knew that she has been in Africa for the past ten years.

"I thought you sent her away......"

"At the beginning, it was indeed me who sent her away." When Tang Fei said this, he leaned forward and narrowed the distance between him and Lu Yao, and got as close to her as possible across the square distance of the dining table.

Tang Fei is the kind of person who is very bright, from his appearance to his temperament, he can be recognized at first glance that this person is definitely a person who has lived in a wealthy family since he was a child and has received a very good and high-end education.

But people who know him a little bit feel that his smile, words and deeds are more like a son-in-law who has no worries and worries, he is faint when he smiles at you, and he is also faint when he is angry, although his expression is serious, you just feel that nothing can actually enter his heart.

But there is an exception, and that exception is Lu Yao.

"Back then, I tried to send her to Malaysia, but when I rushed to Malaysia from country M, she was gone, and I only traced her to Singapore, and then, she disappeared in Singapore." That time, Tang Fei almost turned over the entire new horse, I don't know how many people he found and how many roads, bright and dark...... As long as there is a way to "leave", he has asked and looked for it, but Lu Yao seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Back then, Lu Yao wanted to leave, and finding Tang Fei to send her to Malaysia was only her first step, she needed to leave the country first.

As for where to really go in the future, in fact, she didn't think about it at all at that time, she thought that as long as it was a place where no one knew her, there was no Lu Junfeng, no Tang Fei, and no one in the painful memory.

So as soon as she arrived in Malaysia, she secretly ran away to Singapore, and then she was trapped there for a while, until she met the owner of the small hotel where she lived and moved his family back to Thailand, so she followed them, and went by boat, using an old passport of their daughter, and it was also her luck that she was fooled around.
