Just as Lu Xingzhi had said, sometimes he was easy to talk to, and sometimes he was a man of his word. Those who knew him well knew his character.
After leaving the branch office, Lu Xingzhi went to Chen Cui's house in person. Chen Cui had been a nanny for decades. She had watched her two children grow up and study. She did not have the ability to buy a house in the city, so she rented a house in Luo City. However, she had rented it for more than ten years and lived in an old alley.
Because of their mother's disappearance, Chen Cui's daughter and son were waiting for news at home. Neither of them went to school.
The old alley was very narrow, and the car could not enter. Lu Xingzhi got out of the car at the intersection.
Perhaps it was because of his military uniform that he stood out in the crowd. From the moment he got out of the car to the moment he walked to Chen Cui's house, he was surrounded and stared at by people. Some of the neighbors were even guessing the relationship between Lu Xingzhi and Chen Cui's family.
"You are?" Chen Cui's daughter, Wang Pingping, had been waiting at the door. She probably wanted to see her mother come home as soon as possible. The whole morning had almost passed, but her mother did not come. Instead, she saw a man in a military uniform.
"I'm your mother's employer a few days ago," Lu Xingzhi said.
"You're Dr. Jiang's husband?" Wu Pingping immediately reacted and then hurriedly invited Lu Xingzhi into the house.
Lu Xingzhi shook his head and had no intention of going in. Instead, he stood at the door and told Wu Pingping the purpose of his visit. "I'm here to ask about your mother. When your mother went out yesterday afternoon, other than asking for a bracelet from my wife, did she have anything else to do? For example, did she mention looking for a new job? Or did she have an appointment with a new employer? "
"No, my mother won't be able to find a new job so soon after coming home." Wu Pingping shook her head. "When she went out yesterday, she said that she was going to the hospital to look for Dr. Jiang. She said that if she could make it in time, she would also go to the market to see if there were any pork bones to buy and stew some soup for my brother."
"What did you say to the police after you called the police?" Lu Xingzhi asked. "Do you think your mother and my wife, or even me, might have a disagreement? The police went to the hospital this morning. My wife was performing surgery on a patient, and the police called my wife out of the operating room. They questioned her, and suspected that my wife was harmful to your mother. "
Wu Pingping was in her twenties. How could she not understand what Lu Xingzhi was trying to say?
After listening to Lu Xingzhi's words, Wu Pingping was shocked.
"How? Dr. Jiang is a great national hero. Although you fired my mother, my mother and my brother made a mistake first. When my mother came back, she also said that Dr. Jiang and you are very good people. She only worked for a few days and did something wrong, but you still gave her a full month's salary. My brother and I have never told the police that we suspected Dr. Jiang. Why would the police interrogate Dr. Jiang like that? "
The astonishment on Wu Pingping's face was not an act. Obviously, although she was worried about her mother, she never thought that her mother's absence for a night had anything to do with Dr. Jiang.
"I got it." Wu Pingping's words eased Lu Xingzhi's tense expression for several days. He nodded. "I hope you can always trust me. As for your mother's whereabouts, I will do my best to help you."
