Chapter 163: Rejuvenation
The moment the door was pushed open, Wen Lan's feet suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he lifted them several times, but he didn't take that step.
From her point of view, there was a pale-faced woman lying in the empty hospital room. Look at the book
Even though the distance of seven or eight meters away, the weak breath of a woman tormented by illness still made Wen Lan feel a kind of collapse and sourness.
"Brother Li finally took us here, you hurry up and take a look, is it aunt!" Si Yao didn't notice Wen Lan's emotions at all, and urged.
Wen Lan leaned against the wall and slowly walked into the ward.
When the woman's pale and shriveled face came into her eyes, she was immediately disappointed!
Because this woman is not Ji Minxin!
A deep despair welled up in her heart, and she looked at Li Desheng and Si Yao in disappointment, muttering, "It's not—"
"Then there's really no way." Li Desheng was a little embarrassed, "I have searched for all the Chinese female patients in the hospitals and nursing homes in Kacheng."
"Although I haven't found it yet, I still want to thank Brother Li." Wen Lan looked at Li Desheng gratefully.
"It's already noon, find a restaurant to get rid of the lunch first, and then let's figure out what's wrong." Li Desheng's brows furrowed.
He and Jiang Jingci have known each other for more than ten years, Jiang Jingci almost responds to his needs, this time he finally had the opportunity to help Jiang Jingci, and he was unwilling to end it in such a hurry.
The three of them came to a Chinese restaurant near the sanatorium, and after ordering, Wen Lan took the initiative to settle the bill.
Li Desheng kept calling and asked if there were any other Chinese female patients who had not been counted.
Si Yao persuaded Wen Lan not to be discouraged, saying that as long as Ji Minxin was in Jiacheng, he would be found sooner or later.
These words made Wen Lan very weak, because she only came to Jiacheng with the address of a few emails, and it was still unknown which country Ji Minxin was in.
During the meal, Li Desheng kept messages on his mobile phone, and he replied while saying to Wen Lan, "Wait a little longer, whether your aunt is in Jiacheng or not, you will find out in the evening."
"Brother Li, does your information cover all the hospitals and nursing homes in Kacheng?" Wen Lan asked cautiously.
Li Desheng nodded confidently: "I dare to say that as long as the Chinese are in Jiacheng, they will not be able to escape the network I have spread."
Leaving the Chinese restaurant, Li Desheng drove to several more sanatoriums.
Wen Lan was full of hope every time, but every time he left with disappointment.
In the evening, Li Desheng had no choice but to send them back to the hotel first.
On the way, Li Desheng looked at Wen Lan from the rearview mirror and said meaningfully, "Lao Jiang has arrived at the hotel."
Wen Lan was stunned.
Because Jiangcheng has not had a flight to China in the past two days, if you rush here from last night, you have to go to Gangcheng first.
"Mr. Jiang is here too? What a surprise." Si Yao laughed in disbelief, "When I contacted him yesterday, he didn't reveal half a word."
"If Lao Jiang is seen through by you, he won't be Lao Jiang." Li Desheng also laughed.
Wen Lan was a little uneasy.
If Jiang Jingci was still in the tentative stage for her before, then this time, her intention is already obvious.
Jiang Jingci stayed in the hotel where Wen Lan and Si Yao stayed, and when Wen Lan saw him, he was tired and haggard.
After a period of greetings, Li Desheng teased him: "I really can't imagine that the old tree is rejuvenating quite quickly!"
"I can't keep my heart like dead wood." Jiang Jingci smiled lightly, and when he responded, he glanced at Wen Lan with the peripheral vision of his eyes.
At this time, Si Yao also looked at her, and her cheeks turned red.
Li Desheng had to wash the dust for Jiang Jingci, and settled on a Western restaurant with a good reputation in the Chinese circle.
With Li Desheng and Si Yao here, Jiang Jingci didn't interact with her much.
For dinner for four people, except for Li Desheng, the three of them had their own thoughts and did not eat very happily.
Especially Si Yao, since he saw Jiang Jingci, his expression was very unnatural, both excited and unconcealable.
Li Desheng specially asked for two bottles of very high vintage red wine, and Si Yao said that he was allergic to alcohol and could only replace wine with tea.
Wen Lan was embarrassed to brush Li Desheng's heart, and after a few sips, a flush appeared on his cheeks.
At the end of the dinner, Li Desheng received a phone call, and after listening to it, he said to Wen Lan with a solemn face, "I'm really sorry, I still can't hear from your aunt. I feel like your aunt isn't in Cana."
"I'm already very grateful to Brother Li." All Wen Lan's hopes were dashed in an instant, and he raised the goblet in his hand to Li Desheng in a sneering manner, "Brother Li is busy for me today, I will toast Brother Li with a cup."
"What you should be thankful for is Jing Ci. Something happened to the pawnshop in Shangjing, and he needed to deal with it immediately. But he didn't worry about you, so he left everything behind and flew for more than ten hours to come to Kacheng."
Li Desheng smiled deeply, and smashed Jiang Jingci on his side with his elbow, "Isn't it, Jingci?"
Hearing this, Wen Lan had the illusion of being poked in the backbone.
Jiang Jingci's gaze swept over Wen Lan's tense face, and he said calmly, "Wen Lan is my friend, and her business is my business."
"Of course, I want to thank not only Brother Li, but also Mr. Jiang and Si Yao." Wen Lan's words were very decent, and he raised his glass to the two of them with a smile, "All my thanks are in this glass of wine."
Si Yao picked up the glass of water under his nose and touched it with the three of them.
This time, Wen Lan drank half a goblet of red wine.
When leaving the restaurant, Li Desheng asked Wen Lan what his plans were, and Wen Lan said that since he came, he would go to a nearby city to have a look.
Li Desheng patted his chest and said that he would still accompany him tomorrow.
The substitute driver sent the three of them to the hotel first, and Wen Lan found that Jiang Jingci's room was actually on the same floor as them.
After the elevator door opened, Si Yao took the initiative to say good night to Jiang Jing, and Wen Lan also echoed and prepared to go back to the room with Si Yao.
"Wen Lan, I have something to say to you." Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingci suddenly stopped her.
Her body trembled, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow." She stopped, not ready to stop.
"Okay." Jiang Jingci's voice was full of melancholy, and he watched her door close before returning to his room.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Wen Lan's mind was full of Ji Min's heart.
If she wasn't in Kathaya, where would she be?
Si Yao seemed to be in a bad mood and went to bed early.
When she woke up in the morning, Wen Lan didn't see Si Yao, thinking that she had gone down for a run and morning exercise, and when she washed up, she found that Si Yao's suitcase was also gone.
Wen Lan hurriedly dialed Si Yao's phone number.
Si Yao didn't answer, but only sent a message on WeChat: I'm sorry, Wen Lan, I have other work arrangements, I'll go back to Jiangcheng first. Mr. Jiang has settled the honorarium for these two days, so don't read it. I wish you a speedy search for your aunt.
