Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Missing Lan Ke’er (Fifth Update)
Huang Xiaolong returned to the lawn.
Ultimately, he did not have lunch with Ying Aoshan.
But Huang Xiaolong didn’t care at all.
Deep down, Ying Aoshan was still somewhat arrogant. She carried some form of superiority and aura of a prominent family. Her speech was elaborate, like an ancient person, and Huang Xiaolong didn’t really enjoy dealing with her.
Besides, in order to have a meal with her, one must be chosen by her based on their musical performance. She really thinks of herself as a big deal. Maybe other people would lick her boots with eagerness, but what kind of person is Huang Xiaolong? Naturally, he is disdainful!
“Huh? Little Long, you finished eating so fast?” Sun Wei ran up with a curious look on her face.
At this point, only the Sun family remained on the lawn. Everyone else had dispersed.
Sun Hu and others quickly surrounded them.
“Master Long, you just went in there for how long~~why are you back already?” Sun Hu asked carefully.
“Ah, nothing much, just a disagreement with Ying Aoshan.” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully. “I haven’t eaten yet, let’s go.”
“A disagreement?” The Sun family fell silent!
What the heck, big brother … what are you doing? The Ying Family are the organizers and judges of this Jiangnan City Martial Arts Contest! Have you offended the winning party?
“Let’s go~~” Huang Xiaolong smiled and wrapped his arm around Sun Wei’s petite waist, heading out of Greenwillow Manor. “Don’t worry, I’ve seen Ying Aoshan. She’s pretty decent-looking, but she’s not going to live long. If she doesn’t want to die, she’ll have to plead with me.”
What Huang Xiaolong said nearly scared the Sun family into paralysis.
What the heck is all this!
A crowd of people, escorting Huang Xiaolong, left Greenwillow Manor.
…
Inside the small house.
Not long after Huang Xiaolong and the Sun family left, Ying Aoshan obtained a bowl of water and a handful of soybeans.
Ying Aoshan gave a faint smile, took the bowl of water, turned around, and spat a mouthful of saliva into it.
The very next second, the mouthful of saliva, unlike what Huang Xiaolong mentioned, did not float, but strangely sank to the bottom of the bowl!
“This… This…” Ying Aoshan was stunned.
“Miss, this… this is indeed strange.” Uncle Yun also looked intense.
Normally, when someone spits into water, the saliva definitely floats on the surface, it would never sink!
“Don’t panic~~” Ying Aoshan put down the bowl and then grabbed a handful of soybeans, kept them in her mouth, and swished them around for a good half-minute.
When she spat out the soybeans, they had all swollen up and turned rotten, the seed coats fell off entirely, and even a hint of foul smell was released.
Finally, Ying Aoshan’s face changed color!
“It… It matches… Matches what… Matches what Young Master Huang said… completely…” She seemed a little lost, even slightly frightened. “Could it be that… I… I really got a incurable disease, and am going to… going to die soon?”
“Miss, don’t… don’t panic…” Uncle Yun’s voice also wavered. “The Sun family? Young Master Huang Xiaolong came to Jiangnan City with them. I will immediately investigate the hotel where the Sun family stays… There may still be a turnaround in this matter. Moreover, Miss, you may not necessarily have contracted a disease, maybe… maybe it… it was that Young Master Huang, deliberately spreading fear and intimidating the Miss.”
“Uncle Yun, maybe… we were all mistaken.” Ying Aoshan sighed weakly, “Someone who can play ‘A Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix’, and use the melody to gather birds… How could we possibly see through him easily?”
Uncle Yun’s heart jumped, a sense of inexplicable tension surged, could it be that he, who prided himself on his judgment of people, was really mistaken this time?
…
After leaving the Green Willow Manor with the Sun Family, Huang Xiaolong first went to a restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, the group was leisurely wandering the streets of Jiangnan City.
Huang Xiaolong also accompanied Sun Wei for a shopping spree in the mall.
Sun Wei was quite extravagant. She not only bought a lot of designer clothes and bags for herself, but also purchased many new outfits for Huang Xiaolong – everything from Armani, Versace, Dior… all of them were luxury brand clothing for men.
In one afternoon, Sun Wei had spent almost a million on Huang Xiaolong, which made him feel like he was being kept, laughable and absurd.
After dinner, they returned to the “Carnival Hotel”.
After getting out of the car, Huang Xiaolong stood by the hotel entrance and looked up. Under the night sky, the top floor of the hotel, the 29th floor that ordinary people couldn’t see, was shrouded in heavy clouds and it gave off a deathly stillness.
This hotel gave Huang Xiaolong the feeling of a haunted house!
“Ah~~ Little Long, I’m so tired from shopping in the mall.” Sun Wei said, leaning on Huang Xiaolong’s arm. “Let’s quickly go back to the room to take a shower, and then have a good rest~~~”
“Um… Sister Bai Hu…” Huang Xiaolong glanced at the dark and gloomy hotel, deep in thought. “You should sleep in my room tonight.”
“Pfft~~~~” Sun Wei burst into a giggle. “Little Long, are you so eager to devour me? I am a respected girl…not just any random girl…”
Without waiting for Huang Xiaolong’s response, Sun Wei quickly glanced left and right, then whispered, “Then…then…after I finish taking a shower, I’ll sneak over…”
This expression, this demeanor, was too cute for words.
The group stepped into the hotel lobby.
At this time, a young man in the lobby was hysterically yelling at the receptionists. His face was tight with tension, fury, and even raging thunderously, as though he was about to start a fight with the receptionists at any moment.
There were quite a few people watching on the side.
“Huh? Little Long, something seems amiss.” Sun Wei said in surprise.
“Hmm~” Huang Xiaolong replied nonchalantly, thinking, in such a dirty hotel, how could there not be trouble?
“Damn it, who is this guy? So rude!” Sun Feng, feeling a surge of chivalry, rolled up his sleeves and made his way towards the scene seeing the young and beautiful receptionists being yelled at and almost getting hit.
Sun Feng pulled away the ‘troublemaker’, angrily saying, “What are you trying to do?”
Sun Feng was a martial artist and his strength was remarkable. With his glare and the grip he held on the man’s wrist, the man seemed slightly intimidated but continued yelling, “My fiancée is missing! Right here in this hotel! My fiancée disappeared!”
“Bullshit! How can someone disappear in a hotel? I think you’re deliberately causing trouble.” Sun Feng scoffed.
“Hey, let go,” Huang Xiaolong joined the scene, pulling Sun Wei along with him.
Huang Xiaolong shot a glance at Sun Feng, and he immediately let the man go.
“What’s going on?” Huang Xiaolong asked the man.
“My fiancée has disappeared… just now… I was taking a shower… she… my fiancée said… said she… she’s just going for a walk around the hotel, but… after I finished showering, she didn’t come back… when I called her, no one picked up… she’s missing! Was she kidnapped?” The man seemed obviously very loving towards his fiancée and was now utterly distraught. “I request to see the hotel’s surveillance footage!”
“Oh…calm down.” Huang Xiaolong patted the man’s shoulder and asked a few more questions to the receptionist.
The man’s fiancée was named “Lan Ke’er”, she was pregnant and six months along.
Since the man discovered that Lan Ke’er was missing and reported it to the front desk, all the hotel security staff had been mobilized to search the entire hotel, but they failed to find her!
“Sir, just now we reviewed the CCTV footage during the period Lan Ke’er disappeared. We didn’t see her entering or leaving the hotel, which means, she hadn’t left the hotel. However… we found traces of Lan Ke’er… at… at the elevator entrance, and inside the elevator… her… her…from what we can see from the CCTV footage… her… her behavior was… quite…quite eerie…” a receptionist tremblingly said, as if she had seen something inexplicable through the security footage.
“Oh, you’ve got CCTV footage? Let me see…” Huang Xiaolong ended up peering at the computer being operated by the receptionist before the man who was Lan Ke’er’s fiancé even got to it.
On the computer were some CCTV footages.
