"Ring ring ring …"
Before Li Xianer could finish speaking, Hong Zhu's cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
Putting down the plate, Li Xianer looked down at the phone and said with a smile, "See, I told you she would call! Big Sister Hong Zhu, pick up and listen! "
Hong Zhu was stunned for a moment. He casually took the phone and found that it was Lu Shuangshuang's name displayed on the screen. He was delighted and quickly pressed the answer button.
He put the phone to his ear, and before Hong Zhu could speak, a weak female voice came from the other end of the line. "Excuse … excuse me, are you Lu Shuangshuang's friend, Miss Hong … Hong Zhu?"
"That's right, I'm Hong Zhu. May I ask who you are?" Hong Zhu was a little puzzled. This didn't seem to be Lu Shuangshuang's voice. What happened? Was Lu Shuangshuang sick?
"Hi … Hello, I'm Lu Shuangshuang's best friend, Kerr Lin." Kerr Lin held the phone and bit her lower lip as she said timidly, "I'm looking for you to … to ask about Shuangshuang's whereabouts. May I ask … have you seen her recently?"
"Recently? The last time I saw her was about a week ago. What happened? Did something happen to her? "Hong Zhu asked anxiously. He felt that something was wrong the more he listened.
"She … She hasn't been home for five or six days, and she didn't take her hand … phone with her." Kerr Lin gathered her courage and described in detail, "Her grandmother thought … thought that she was playing at my house, so she didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until I came to look for her today that I realized she was missing … I took the liberty of calling you because I left your business card on the table."
"How could this be … Where are you now? I'll rush over to find you immediately! We'll talk about the details when we meet! " Hong Zhu suddenly stood up. He couldn't care less about eating and ran out with the phone in one hand and Li Xianer in the other.
On the other end of the phone, Kerr Lin's cautious voice came through. "I … I live in Shanty Town XX in the west of the city …"
Before Kerr Lin could finish speaking, Hong Zhu had already flagged down a taxi. After telling the driver the address, she said to Kerr Lin on the phone, "I'm already in the car. Don't leave yet. If there's anything, wait for me!"
After that, Hong Zhu hung up the phone, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet, and handed it to the driver, telling him to get to Shanty Town as soon as possible.
The driver was also puzzled. These two girls didn't look like poor people from the way they dressed! Why would he go to a poor place like Shanty Town? Could it be to experience life?
However, seeing how generous Hong Zhu was, the driver did not intend to ask any more questions. After receiving the money, he stepped on the accelerator and sped toward the shanty town.
Not long after, the taxi stopped near the slums. Hong Zhu and Li Xianer had never been here before, so they had no choice but to follow the house numbers one by one.
But what astonished Hong Zhu was that the closer she got to Lu Shuangshuang's house, the more she had a strong feeling that … there was actually a woman with weak spiritual energy hiding nearby!
"Excuse me … Are you Miss Hong Zhu?" Just as Hong Zhu was concentrating on the house number, a beautiful, gentle, and weak little girl came over and greeted Hong Zhu softly.
"I am. You're Lin Ke-er, right?" Hong Zhu turned his head, carefully glanced at Lin Ke-er, and said in an indifferent voice.
At this time, she had discovered that the weak spiritual energy she had felt before was emitted from Kerr Lin!
"Yes, Miss Hong Zhu, is this … is this your friend?" Kerr Lin nodded obediently and glanced at Li Xianer standing next to her.
"Yes, her name is Li Xianer, and she's my good … best friend. You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Hong Zhu. Xian 'er and I are ordinary people, not the daughters of some big family." Hong Zhu replied with a smile.
"I … I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by it, please don't misunderstand … "Only then did Kerr Lin realize that 'miss' was actually a very ambiguous word. Her face immediately turned red and she regretted being too rash!
This big sister in front of her had a hot body and enchanting eyes. Would she mind this?
"It's alright, it's not something important." Hong Zhu casually waved her hand.
She could see that Kerr Lin's eyes were very clear and she was probably still inexperienced. Although she had called her 'miss', it was probably just out of courtesy. She didn't mind it that much.
Kerr Lin let out a light sigh of relief. She rubbed the corner of her clothes and said apologetically, "I … I'm sorry. I lost the house number to Shuangshuang's house. I was worried that you might not be able to find this place, so I specially came out to get you … the two of you."
"Mm, the house number here is a little hard to find." Hong Zhu sized up Kerr Lin a few more times, feeling a little surprised. However, she didn't expose her. Instead, she calmly said, "Let's talk about Lu Shuangshuang! Before she disappeared, did she contact anyone? "
"I … I looked through her phone just now. Because her last call was to you, I took the liberty to call you to ask." Kerr Lin lowered her head and took out Lu Shuangshuang's phone. She handed it over and pointed at the call log.
"She called me?" Hong Zhu took the phone with an astonished look on his face and muttered, "She didn't call me before! What's going on? "
Hong Zhu, who was full of doubts, looked through the call log on Lu Shuangshuang's phone. Aside from a call from Kerr Lin, Lu Shuangshuang had also called him a few days ago. Looking at the date of the call, it should be the night after he met her!
This is too strange. I clearly didn't receive Lu Shuangshuang's call that day, so why is my number on the call log?
Hong Zhu frowned and took out his phone to check again. Sure enough, Lu Shuangshuang's call log from that day didn't show up. He definitely didn't miss it!
"Sister Hong Zhu, could it be that at that time, Lu Shuangshuang had already made up her mind on that matter and wanted to give you a call, but something urgent cropped up at the last minute, so she hung up before the call could go through? That's why there's this record?" Li Xianer thought for a while and analyzed softly.
"Hmm … that's the only possibility!" Hong Zhu thought for a while, then turned to Kerr Lin and asked, "Who does Lu Shuangshuang usually live with?"
"Shuangshuang usually lives with her grandmother. She … she's very filial and takes good care of her grandmother." Kerr Lin was a little nervous and stuttered.
"Then who was the last person to see her? Did that person notice anything out of the ordinary? "Hong Zhu continued to ask.
