Opposite him, Mu Xiaoxiao was waving her hands about, signalling him to give her phone back to her.
After Yin Shaojie was done with his speech, he offered the phone to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao took her phone. Before Song Shijun could say anything, she said, âHurry up and tell me what youâve found about Annie! Stop pulling other things into the conversation; youâre so garrulous that itâs going to be the death of me!â
Song Shijun felt aggrieved.
He had been about to tell her, but the Great Master Yin had snatched her phone away and even showed off his love on the other side of the phone. He had been miserably abused as a single dog but he didnât even complain!
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed him, âYou donât have to tell me anything else, only where she is right now.â
âWhere she is right now? I donât know about that!â
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as she asked, confused, âWhat do you mean? Didnât you say that youâve found her?â
Song Shijun sighed. âI did find out the hotel she stayed in previously, but she had already checked out of her room on Sunday. I donât know where she went after that, and I didnât manage to find out whether sheâs staying in another hotel or not.â
âWhich hotel was she staying in previously?â
âGrand Luxury Hotel.â
â¦
In the car, Mu Xiaoxiao urged Yin Shaojie to drive faster.
Yin Shaojie looked at her as he said, âGrand Luxury? That hotelâs not bad either. How about we stay the night there then?â
A blush flooded Mu Xiaoxiaoâs face as she said anxiously, âYouâre still thinking about getting a room? The most important thing now is to find her!â
Yin Shaojie handed his phone to her.
âHereâs the information about where sheâs been after she arrived in China.â
So he had indeed found something.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao regained her senses. She took the phone from him and looked through the information.
She gave the few pages a rough scan and finished reading it.
Annie had been to some of the older towns in City A for fun. The last piece of information stated that she had checked out of her room at Grand Luxury Hotel, and that was her last known location before they lost track of her.
It was only upon reading the words âlost track of herâ that Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a sense of unease.
She looked towards Yin Shaojie and asked anxiously, âDo you think⦠somethingâs happened to Annie?â
Yin Shaojie said, âDidnât you say that she had superb luck? Nothingâs probably happened to her. Maybe sheâs even met her Prince Charming already.â
They arrived at Grand Luxury Hotel in no time.
Mu Xiaoxiao rushed to the front desk and asked anxiously, âMy friend checked out of her room two days ago, but I donât know where she is now; I want to ask ifâ¦â
The lady at the front desk was a little stunned by her. Courteously, she said, âMiss, please calm down and tell me about it slowly, alright?â
Mu Xiaoxiao also felt that she had been incoherent, and that it was thus normal for the other party to not understand her.
âItâs like this: Iâve got a friend, her nameâs Annie. She arrived in City A and two days ago sheâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the hotel manager walk over swiftly and stand in front of them. Nodding respectfully and deferentially, he said, âHello, Young Master Yin. Is there anything we can help you with?â
Yin Shaojie commanded like a king, âI want to check the surveillance feed for Sunday.â
The hotel manager instantly agreed to his demand, of course, and brought the two of them into the surveillance room.
Yin Shaojie told the manager about Annie, and he enquired the front desk immediately and got Annieâs check-out time.
In the surveillance room.
The manager ordered his employees to extract the feed corresponding to Annieâs check-out time.
Mu Xiaoxiao was really anxious. She pounced forward and watched the feed on the screen.
âEh? Why is there a man beside Annie? Sheâs being pulled by a manâ¦â
After getting a clear view of the manâs face, Mu Xiaoxiaoâs mouth fell open in surprise.
Ye Sijue?!
