As Lin Zhiyi was struggling with the image in her mind, the scent of soothing tea wafted under her nose.
When she raised her head, there was a steaming cup of soothing tea at her hand.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she looked at Gong Chen again.
The man held the chopsticks in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. The crisp lines of his shirt outlined his broad shoulders and thin waist.
Seemingly nonchalant, but exuding an unattainable aura.
But it doesn't overlap with the figure in my mind.
Lin Zhiyi drank two sips of tea silently, and after a while, Gong Chen placed the cooked noodles in front of Lin Zhiyi.
"Eat."
Lin Zhiyi came back to her senses, pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I'm not hungry anymore..."
Cuckoo.
Her belly growled at an inopportune moment, causing her face to turn red.
Gong Chen held the bowl and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I feed you?"
Lin Zhiyi knew that he was a man of his words, so she quickly took the bowl.
Afterwards, neither of them spoke.
Gong Chen stepped back, leaned against the stove, lit a cigarette, and stared at her through a thin layer of mist.
Lin Zhiyi pretended not to see it, took a mouthful of noodles, and was slightly stunned.
As she expected, Gong Chen was not someone without cooking skills.
The noodles are just the right amount of chewy, they can't be cooked for two minutes longer.
But why did he do this?
Lin Zhiyi couldn't ask and could only eat in silence.
When they were almost done eating, Gong Chen asked calmly, "Why did you leave the hospital?"
Lin Zhiyi paused with her chopsticks and looked down at the clear noodle soup in the bowl: "My uncle wants to ask about the pregnancy test, right?"
Gong Chen smoked a cigarette and agreed.
Lin Zhiyi's eyes were sore. He turned his head to look at the stars outside the window, and his stomach, which had just been full, began to churn.
Since Gong Chen has seen the list, he should know the result.
He asked because he didn't believe her at all.
To this day, he still thinks she is a scheming woman who wants to gain power through pregnancy.
But he would never know what she lost in trying to escape him.
Lin Zhiyi put down her bowl and chopsticks, got down from the center island, and looked up at him: "The examination was arranged by your friend. If you still don't believe it, we can do it again. I'll be free tomorrow."
Gong Chen's face darkened instantly, his eyes were cold: "The noodles were all fed into the dog's stomach."
Lin Zhiyi raised her head: "I can spit it out to you. Anyway, didn't you say that I was born in the year of the dog?"
Gong Chen: “…”
Having said that, she jumped out.
Worried that Gong Chen would catch up and really make her vomit, she had to limp and speed up.
Back in the yard, the house was as quiet as when she left it.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the antique clock on the wall. It was almost twelve o'clock. Why had Liu He and Gong Shiyan not returned from their social events yet?
Although Gong Shiyan is also the vice president of Gong Corporation, he does not have much real power and usually has an easy job.
Even when I was socializing, it was never this late.
Especially since Liu He was by her side, she needed to have a good sleep and had to be back at 11 o'clock.
Lin Zhiyi was a little worried, so she picked up her phone and called Liu He, but it was turned off.
At this time, she was not too anxious, thinking that Liu He's phone might be out of battery or on silent mode.
She quickly dialed Gong Shiyan's number again, but her private phone was unreachable and her work phone was turned off.
has a problem!
Fortunately, Lin Zhiyi found the phone number of Gong Shiyan's driver from the memo next to the landline.
"Driver Zhang, are my mother and uncle with you?"
"No, they said the dinner today was more important, so I didn't need to follow them and could just wait in the car."
Doesn't that mean they are the only two attending the dinner?
Lin Zhiyi said worriedly, "Driver Zhang, please go to the dinner box to check. I can't get through to them. It's impossible for my uncle to shut down his work phone. I'm worried."
"it is good."
Ten minutes later, driver Zhang called back hurriedly.
"Ms. Lin, something bad has happened. There is no one in the room. The waiter said that the person left two hours ago."
"Who set up the game today?" Lin Zhiyi asked anxiously.
"Yes...Mrs. Song, Miss Song's mother, said she wanted to introduce a big client to you to apologize."
"Apologize to me? But you didn't invite me to be there? What kind of apology is this!" Lin Zhiyi didn't care about the pain in her feet and stood up directly. "Go find the manager now and ask them to keep the surveillance. Does the Gong family have any drivers who are on good terms with you?"
"Have."
"Please ask him to take me there."
"No problem, Miss Lin."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhiyi wrapped himself in his coat and limped out of the mansion.
The driver is already waiting.
As soon as we got in the car, we headed quickly towards the hotel.
Chen Jin, who was getting into the car to leave the Gong family, watched Lin Zhiyi get into the car and quickly called Gong Chen.
Gong Chen was changing clothes and answered the phone with his shirt open.
"what's up?"
"Ms. Lin just left in a hurry."
"wait for me."
……
restaurant.
Lin Zhiyi walked in front of the manager with the help of driver Zhang.
The manager glanced at her and didn't look at her any further, his tone full of hypocritical official rhetoric.
"Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, we can't inspect our hotel at will. I can only ask you to leave first."
Lin Zhiyi knew what he meant.
Seeing that she has little influence, I don't want to help.
She sneered, "Okay, I can go. When I walk out of this door, I will call the police immediately and notify the Gong family to come over. By then, you'd better pray that there is nothing abnormal in the surveillance. Otherwise... your job as a manager is over."
The manager's lips tightened and he clasped his hands tightly in front of him.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." The manager called her, "Come with me."
After entering the monitoring room, the manager pointed at a small black area on the screen helplessly.
"Ms. Lin, it's not that I don't want to show it to you, but it just so happens that the surveillance camera outside the box is broken, and we haven't had time to repair it yet."
Despite this, Lin Zhiyi still saw his arrogance and casualness from the reflection on the screen.
Obviously he had known that the surveillance was broken, but he didn't explain it just now. It seemed like he was stalling for time.
Lin Zhiyi thought about it, leaned over and slid the mouse: "It doesn't matter, I just need to find the entrance and exit."
The manager immediately pressed the mouse and explained, "Ms. Lin, I know you are eager to find someone, but the people who come to our restaurant are either rich or noble. Our hotel has promised not to show others their information of coming and going. You are making things difficult for me. Didn't the waiter say that the second master and the second wife have left? Maybe they went somewhere to have fun. They will definitely go there tomorrow morning."
As he said that, he stuffed the mouse directly into his pocket.
Lin Zhiyi knew that he couldn't win, so he suppressed his anger and asked in a good temper: "In this case, let me ask you one last question."
"You said."
"When did Mrs. Song leave?"
"A little after nine o'clock."
"Are you sure?" Lin Zhiyi stared at him.
He changed his words again: "I remembered it wrong, it should be around ten o'clock."
"Sure?"
"Yes, sure." The manager nodded.
Lin Zhiyi didn't ask any more questions and left the monitoring room with the driver.
Driver Zhang worriedly asked, "If they disperse after ten o'clock, where will the Second Master and Second Madam go?"
Lin Zhiyi raised his eyes and stared at the sign, and said firmly: "They are still in the hotel!"
The manager didn't allow her to look at the entrance surveillance because he was afraid that she would find out that Liu He and Gong Shiyan had not left the hotel at all.
Plus, he kept stalling for time, and kept saying that they would go back tomorrow morning.
This shows that he is very aware of their current situation.
Then only in the hotel!
