Lin Yi clenched his fists. His expression was terrible.
Xiao Qi said at the right time, "This banquet was hosted by Lu Luan. Why don't we ask him?"
"Let's go." Lin Yi raised his head slightly and strode over.
At this moment, Lu Luan and Chu Xi were toasting Old Master Lu.
Lin Yi grabbed Lu Luan's arm rudely and stopped him from toasting. "Help me find her."
"Find her?" Lu Luan looked at him with a faint smile. "Is this the attitude you should have when you're looking for someone?"
"Isn't this Lin Yi? You're here too. " Old Master Lu smiled happily and did not get angry. On the other hand, Chu Xi felt unnatural for a moment.
Lin Yi let go of Lu Luan's arm and greeted Master Lin. Then he said, "Li Weixi is missing. You hosted this banquet, so you should be responsible."
"Li Weixi?" Lu Luan frowned. "Do you know where she went in the end?"
"The backyard."
"There …" Lu Luan was also a little embarrassed. "There are no surveillance cameras there. It's a bit difficult. Did she have any altercations with anyone?"
Lin Yi looked at Xiao Qi, who immediately said, "No. After Miss Li came, she only knew that she was with Roman and Ji Xi. Moreover, she went to the backyard with Ji Xi. After that, Ji Xi disappeared."
"Two people?" Lu Luan's face darkened. "How dare someone do such a thing at my banquet?"
"Li Weixi is Lin Yi's fiancée, right?" Old Master Lu said, "You have to look for her carefully. Otherwise, Old Master Lin will definitely nag me again. You can forget about living a good life."
"I understand." Lu Luan sighed and looked at Xiao Qi. "Have Ji Xi and Li Weixi only interacted with Roman?"
"Yes."
Lu Luan thought for a moment and said to Chu Xi, "I'll go over there and ask. You stay here with the old man."
"Okay." Chu Xi smiled gently. "Are you the Miss Li we met last time? I think she's a good person. She shouldn't have any grudges with anyone. Maybe it's someone who had some conflicts with her before. "
With just a few words, she was able to clear her name. She didn't know if Lu Luan and Lin Yi would believe her.
The two men didn't say anything and went directly to Roman to ask her questions.
When Xiao Qi was looking for her, Roman had vaguely guessed something. She glanced at Chu Xi and felt very conflicted. She didn't expect that Li Weixi would be involved in this matter.
Lin Yi and Lu Luan walked up to her and asked directly, "Where are Li Weixi and Ji Xi?"
"I don't know," Roman said lightly. "They're gone?"
"They're gone. They only saw you before they disappeared."
"I don't know about that." Roman said, "I separated from them later. As you know, Ji Xi and I don't get along very well."
Lu Luan looked at her deeply. "I hope you're telling the truth."
Roman smiled and didn't answer.
As she watched the two of them leave, the smile on her face slowly disappeared. She turned to look in Chu Xi's direction and saw that she was smiling meaningfully at her.
So be it.
Roman was a little tired. Chu Xi was a smart person and wouldn't touch Li Weixi.
She had left herself a way out.
So, she didn't have anything to worry about … right?
Roman looked confused for a moment. She silently watched Lin Yi and Lu Luan looking for her and felt more and more tormented.
In the end, she couldn't help but secretly send a text message to Lin Yi and Lu Luan, asking them to ask Chu Xi.
The two of them didn't say anything when they received the text message. They quietly searched around and returned to Old Master Lu.
Old Master Lu was also quite concerned about this matter, so he asked, "How is it? Have you found her?"
The two of them shook their heads. Lin Yi-leng said, "We've asked all of them. I don't think there's any problem. There are only two people we haven't asked yet."
"Who?"
"Old Master Lu, you and your granddaughter-in-law."
"You're suspecting me?" Old Master Lu looked at him with a smile. His expression didn't change. Chu Xi was also calm, but her hand secretly pinched her clothes.
Lu Luan noticed this detail and asked her, "You just said that it might be an old grudge. Why do you say that? You've never been so talkative in the past. "
Chu Xi calmed herself down and smiled. "How long have we known each other? Usually, you're the one who's involved in work. Of course, it's not appropriate for me to interrupt. But it's different now."
"It really has nothing to do with you?" Lu Luan stared intently into her eyes. "If you know something, it's best to be direct."
Chu Xi avoided his gaze. "It's not me. I don't know what happened either."
"Is that so?" Lu Luan replied indifferently and didn't continue asking. Old Master Lu was present now, and Chu Xi was the person Old Master Lu had found for him. Even if he didn't give Chu Xi face, he had to give Old Master Lu face.
However, he was polite. Lin Yi was much more direct as he threatened, "I advise you to return her before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, even Old Master Lu won't be able to save you, let alone your Chu family."
Chu Xi's expression changed for a moment, but she still gritted her teeth. "I don't know why you're suspecting me, but I really didn't do it."
"Since you've said so, it's up to you to decide what to do." Lin Yi said indifferently, "Old Master Lu, you'd better have a good talk with her. Otherwise, if something happens, you won't be able to bear the consequences. Remember, this is China, not overseas. Your Lu family's words don't count."
With that, he left immediately. It could be said that he didn't give Old Master Lu any face at all. This made the people who were watching the show a little afraid to say anything for a moment.
Old Master Lu didn't think much of it. He even chuckled and said, "This kid from the Lin family is really not bad. He's much more daring than you. I admire him."
He turned to look at Chu Xi. There was a hint of sharpness in his gaze. "You really didn't do it? If you did, you'd better listen to this kid from the Lin family and let her go quickly. Otherwise, Master Lin will make a move. It won't be as simple as just a threat. "
Chu Xi said helplessly, "Grandpa Lu, I really didn't do it. I only met Li Weixi once. What grudge could there be between us?"
"You don't have a grudge against her. What about Ji Xi?"
Chu Xi was stunned. She played dumb and said, "What's wrong with Ji Xi? I don't even know who she is. "
Lu Luan's eyes flickered. He didn't say anything and slightly tightened his grip on his phone.
Roman, who had been paying attention to the situation, couldn't help but feel nervous and worried when she saw that they didn't seem to get any answers. At this moment, she was a little regretful. If something really happened to Li Weixi and Ji Xi, she was afraid that she wouldn't feel good either.
After leaving the banquet hall, Lin Yi said to Xiao Qi, "Contact Lu Luan and ask him if he's willing to cooperate. If he's not willing, then forget it."
"Okay." Xiao Qi nodded. "Where are we going now?"
