The roar of the locomotive stopped at the entrance of the Gu compound, and Zhao Lingzi took off his helmet and said to Carl, “Go back!”
“How do you know where my house is?” Carl took off his helmet, sweat soaking his forehead hair.
“Young Gu, I’ll just go search on the search engine and find out.”
Zhao Lingzi laughed softly as Carl stepped forward and kissed her thin lips.
“What for, a pre-wedding farewell kiss?” Zhao Lingzi was amused by his serious look.
“Bye.” Carl said solemnly.
“See you later.” Zhao Lingzi rode away, the tears in the corners of his eyes were imprisoned in his helmet, and no one could see them.
“Father, I’m back.” Carl was still holding the helmet that he forgot to return to Zhao Lingzi.
“Carl, you’re back, I missed my dad, you guys go make a shark’s fin casserole for the young master, look how thin you are.” Gu is overjoyed, greeting the servants to go to the back kitchen to cook for Carl, himself pulling Carl to sit on the sofa.
“Dad, I’m back, but I still don’t want to marry Judy, is there any way dad, you love me the most, can you bear to see me sad?”
“It’s not that dad doesn’t want to help you, it’s your brother he doesn’t want to help you, I’ve said everything I should say here, that Vinson is as cold as a rock.”
“Dad, tell big brother I have something in my hand that I want to show him, I’m tired of sleeping on the couch every day for the past few days, eat your own shark fins or whatever, I’m going to bed.” Carl yawned and headed upstairs.
“Yeah, how could I forget, after showing him, I don’t believe Vinson still won’t agree to share his shares with Judy, big deal, we’ll fight him to the death.”
“Dad, give me some money, the tens of thousands spent before.”
“When your brother he comes up with shares, I will give you 100, 000 pocket money.” Gu is in a great mood, this is the real car to the mountain will have a road.
Gu was walking to the study, took out the documents from the locked drawer, took a picture and sent it to Vinson, “Take the shares home tomorrow.”
Ge family.
“Ina, Vinson even sent you home today, look how much he values you.”
Ina beat her face to the punch: “Dad, I want to marry brother Vinson as soon as possible, his company has too many idle people and urgently needs me to take care of it.”
“Look at our Ina, not yet married to start worrying about people’s business, tomorrow I’m talking to Gu is, let him rush Vinson, you are not too young, marriage is the right thing to do.”
Hearing the father’s affirmative answer, Ina reassured back to the house, “Vinson, see how long you have to be high and cold, you can not escape my Ina’s palm, Leanne, Xiaowen and the receptionist, messing with Gu’s future mistress, you will not have good fruit to eat, wait for me Ina to sweep you out of the door. ”
At 2:00 a. m., Leanne’s phone vibrated by her pillow, the most ripe time for human sleep, late at night. leanne observed that although the resort was very well decorated, there was no surveillance, gently opened the door, the lights in the corridor were out, and leanne quietly walked towards the stairway.
The stairwell was filled with miscellaneous items, paper shells and some foam boxes. Leanne turned on the flashlight in her cell phone and the blinding white light instantly illuminated the stairway. The stairs wind down like a monster’s open mouth. Leanne put her phone on silent and walked down the stairs. In order not to make a sound, she came out in her hotel slippers.
Taking the elevator will make a noise, so the safest way is to walk down to the fourth floor. The buildings here are not high, four floors of the resort is already a crane, who would have thought that there is a floor underground.
The first floor is always the sound of people, Leanne crouched on the second floor of the jogging platform and waited a while, heard the sound of people talking more and more distant before quickly passed the first floor, the boy really did not lie to her, the basement stairwell is closed, if opened will certainly have a sound, in case there are people inside, not only will be lost, but also reveal their intentions. leanne held his breath, put his ear to the iron door.
The subtle noises were incessant, and just as Leanne was about to give up, a faint cat cry startled her.
Hand attached to the handle, gently twist, hear the latch click after a sound, the door opened.
“What are you doing?”
Owen is standing tall.
“It’s not that boss, I keep hearing the cat barking, following the sound and actually found that he had locked it up, that’s not animal cruelty!” Leanne hugged the cat tightly, the long-haired cat blocking Leanne’s trembling hands like an old mop.
“How can you hear this from the fourth floor.”
“I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and suddenly I remembered that no one had collected the dishes, so I wanted to come down and find someone to collect the dishes, Owen what’s wrong with you, you’re like this I’m so scared.” Leanne bit her lips softly looking at Owen, in fact, to hide the trembling lips.
Owen slowly walked down the steps and dragged Leanne up off the floor, patting the dust off her, “Come on up, I’ll tell them to bring some milk over and take the plates by the way.”
“Cats can’t drink milk, tell them to get goat’s milk.” Leanne said menacingly.
Owen closed the door to the basement stairwell behind him and smiled as he walked upstairs with his arm around Leanne. And his smile only sent shivers down Leanne’s spine.
When passing the first floor, Owen left for a while, after a while still sleeping man in pajamas ran to Leanne’s front, “Miss, we have few people here, rarely answer the phone at night, trouble you personally down a trip, this animal, no, the kitten is my son picked up, he does not love to keep, a few days ago the cat ran away, ran to where I did not care If you don’t mind, you can take it with you, I’ll go to the market and buy a box for you to take.”
“OK, I’ll take it away, buy some goat’s milk and I’ll feed it.”
Back in the house, watching the kitten lick the warm goat’s milk, Leanne felt her heartbeat was going into overdrive, even when she was the only one left. I don’t know if Owen was too trusting of Leanne, or if he had begun to suspect Leanne but didn’t say so explicitly, but in any case he sent Leanne back and left.
Leanne thinks it’s more likely the latter, according to Owen’s character, nothing will be unwarranted to guess others, let alone where he came across, if Owen has begun to suspect, then the rest is difficult. leanne frowned, stroking the kitten’s long knotted hair.
“Father, are you in the basement?” Leanne murmured as she looked out at the still inky sea.
