Chapter 14: Crazy Kiss 3

  Ling Shuiyue arrived in Guangzhou and went straight to Hong Street. The Third Prince had already rented a house on the opposite corner of Hong Street according to Ling Shuiyue's instructions.

  "How is it?"

  "Lao Liu didn't show up, and I couldn't see anything else. You stay here for a day, take a look if there's anyone you know, if not, I still want to keep an eye on Lao Liu, he thinks it's the most direct and valuable lead."

  Third son is right. Ling Shuiyue sat in front of the window, looking at the crowd at the street corner: "You rest, you've been tired for so many days."

  The Third Prince stood in front of the window stretching his limbs: "I'm tired and that's justified, I rely on this to make a living."

  "I had the Fourth Prince attend to something else, did he tell you?" Ling Shuiyue asked.

  "You said it. You let us brothers handle things for you, that's because you think highly of us..."

  Ling Shui glanced at the Third Prince hastily: "You've also started flattering people and bootlicking?"

  "When will I do that? I'm telling the truth, from the bottom of my heart..."

  "Lao Liu has arrived." Ling Shuiyue saw Lao Liu walking towards the apartment across with great enthusiasm.

  The third son explained on the side: "He also entered that apartment last time, and after coming out, I felt he was like this now, very excited. That night, I couldn't see clearly."

  Ling Shuiyue glanced at the time, 17:05: "What time did he come last time?"

  "Probably... just a moment." The Third Prince took out a small notebook from his pocket: "18:22, four days ago."

  "What time is it?"

  19:36!

  More than an hour.

  "Last time I didn't know what he was doing here, and I was also afraid of startling him, so I didn't dare to get too close. It's just that when he came out, he seemed very happy and unhurried, so he should be familiar with the people inside. After leaving this place, he stopped working and changed his residence from a poor dormitory to a nationwide chain hotel, although it's not expensive, but someone who doesn't have an income of tens of thousands of yuan per month won't stay there for long, besides, he eats at high-end restaurants every day..."

  "Could it be stolen?" Ling Shuiyue's gaze never left Lao Liu.

  "I've thought about it too. But first, no one reported the police here, second, when he came out, he was not in a hurry, very calm, feeling that his whole body was emitting joy."

  Ling Shui couldn't be sure that the side was Nie Shi Luo, he came over just to witness it first hand. If Lao Liu comes out of prison and looks for Nie Shi Luo, then the accident nine years ago must have something to do with Nie Shi Luo...

  It's already 11:00 PM and no one has shown up. Ling Shuiyue and San Taizi can only rest.

  The next morning after getting up, the two continued to take turns keeping watch. Finally, after 5:00 pm, Lao Liu appeared at the corner of Red Street and walked straight towards the apartment building across the street.

  Ryōsui and Santaro were getting dressed while staring at the apartment's front door.

  Only twenty minutes later, Lao Liu came out, seemingly in a huff, accidentally bumping into a passerby, and in a fit of rage, he kicked the passerby and stormed off.

  Ling Shuiyue and San Taizi exchanged a look, split into two groups, San Taizi followed Lao Liu, while Ling Shuiyue arrived at the opposite apartment.

  Ling Shuiyue casually mentioned an apartment number to the doorman and wrote down the doorplate number of the apartment that Lao Liu was looking for earlier.

  The door creaked open and a fifty-year-old woman looked at the man in front of her with confusion.

  "I'm looking for Guan Shipei." Ling Shuiyue thought that Guan Shipei's name was quite formal, so it wouldn't be bad to borrow it.

  Middle-aged woman slightly frowned: "Guan Sipei? Sorry! I just moved in yesterday."

  Ling Shuiyue maintained a smile: "Really? May I ask, which intermediary did you rent the house through? Thank you!"

  The old woman hesitated, unsure whether to tell Ling Shuiyue or not.

  Ling Shuiyue explained: "Guan Sipei is my uncle-in-law, he had a fight with my aunt and left home. He just called me the other day saying he was staying here. I just wanted to persuade him to go back home."

  "Is that so? The Century Agency is just at the end of Red Street." Such a respectable man, she shouldn't have doubted him in the first place.

  "Thank you!" Ling Shuiyue said gratefully.

  Ling Shuiyue left the apartment and arrived at the Century Agency at the end of Red Street. The agent took out a registration book, and Ling Shuiyue's heart almost jumped out: it was Nie Shiluo! In addition to his mobile phone number, there was also a photocopy of his ID card.

  Ling Shuiyue read it silently twice and memorized the phone number. As soon as he walked out of the agency, the first thing he did was dial the phone number that he had remembered in his head.

  Unfortunately, shut down!

  Ling Rao stored his mobile phone number, bought some beer and returned to the room previously rented by San Taizi, quietly waiting for news from San Taizi.

  Three hours later, the third prince returned. Seeing the beer on the table, he gulped down a whole can in one go.

  Lao Liu quit his job at the hotel and found a cheaper place to live.

  The Third Prince saw that Ling Shuiyue's face was expressionless, as if everything was within his expectations: "What? Did you find something there?"

  "Lao Liu has gone to find Nie Shi Luo. But Nie Shi Luo has moved out of his house and his whereabouts are unknown, his phone is turned off, he should have changed his phone number." Ling Shui Yue replied.

  "You're really something, going once and finding the important things. And now you won't even let me eat?"

  Ling Shui's mood was slightly heavy: "I was lucky to bump into it, without your previous paving the way, could I have found that room?"

  "Are you sure it's Nieshilo?" asked the Third Prince.

  "Uh-huh. I saw her ID photocopy when she rented the house through an intermediary, it was her."

  "What shall we do next?"

  "Keep an eye on Lao Liu. Remember the principle, whether we find Lao Liu or Nie Shi Luo is not important to us, what we want are photos of them together and important conversation content or shady deals. Without these, their lives have nothing to do with us. Since Lao Liu can find Nie Shi Luo in such a short time, he must be able to find her again. Try not to let Nie Shi Luo see you. I have to go back, there are urgent matters waiting for me at home."

  Muzi Xue flipped through the private investigator's materials that Ah Tang had brought over, filtered by him. She picked two seasoned individuals and dialed their cell phones, making separate appointments with each of them.

  "Ah Tong heard the bell and walked in: 'Manager!'"

  "I have an appointment at 8 o'clock tonight, are you free?"

  "Girlfriend?" Mutou Xue saw Atang's face reveal a difficult expression.

  "It's my fault, nice meeting you! Call Frank over."

  Ten minutes later, Frank walked into Mochizuki's office.

  Meng Xue chose Frank because after this period of contact and observation, she felt that he was the most suitable manager assistant in the company for now: "Frank, please sit down."

  Frank smiled and didn't sit down: "You're too kind, boss."

  "Can you sit down so I can say it out loud?"

  Frank sat down.

  Muxi Xue didn't beat around the bush: "You're a designer. In my heart, designers are mostly deeply in love with their profession."

  "Manager! Are you trying to get me to quit?" Frank couldn't hold back any longer, his heart had been hanging since the moment Atong called him over.

  Muxi Xue thought for a moment and smiled: "So little self-confidence?"

  Frank heard Mu Si Xue say this and instead felt embarrassed: "You've been to the company for so long, but have never met with me alone... You..."

  "I'll get straight to the point... You know, our company has never had a deputy general manager. With such a heavy burden, I've always hoped someone could share it with me, but I don't have the authority to appoint anyone."

  "I don't want to bring in someone like me who doesn't know anything about the company. Among the people I've come into contact with in the company, I think you're the most suitable for management. Moreover, as a designer, if you were to become an assistant manager, it would definitely be easier and faster to coordinate design work and sales production. Are you interested?"

  Frank didn't believe that Mu Si Xue would bypass Li Ping An to find him, before Mu Si Xue arrived, it was always Li Ping An who was in charge of the company's affairs, although he didn't have a title, but everyone at least considered Li Ping An as the deputy general manager in their hearts, how did the wind vane suddenly change and point to himself: "General Manager Li should be the most suitable candidate..."

  Judging from Frank's tone, he should have agreed. Musi Xue smiled and said: "Director Li is excellent, but you have something that he doesn't - interpersonal relationships! As a designer, you have a good relationship with Director Li, and at the same time, your relationship with Zhang Haoran is also not bad. This, I don't see it in others. Also, you seem to be able to see the strengths of each person, and try to only see the strengths of others, ignoring their weaknesses."

  "Manager..." Frank didn't think that Mu Si Xue's simple appearance could be so perceptive of human nature.

  "Don't rush to refuse, consider it, if you still want to work as a designer, that's also possible."

  Frank had a hundred thousand willingness in his heart, but he didn't want to let Musi Xue see that he was eager, even if it was just on the surface: "Okay! I'll give you an answer within three days."

  "Assistant manager! This is all I can give you, the 'deputy' title needs me to report and get approval before I can give you an answer."

  "Thank you, boss! I'll consider it seriously." Frank said with gratitude and left.

  Muxi Xue knew that Frank had already agreed, it was just a matter of sooner or later, so he replied this way to make her think he was steady and dignified, doing things seriously.

  It seems that today's date she can only attend alone. Muxi Xue bitterly smiled and shook her head, for a moment, her thoughts drifted to Ling Shuiyue...

  She wanted to believe her first instinct, but was her first instinct reliable?
