Run in the opposite direction

Xing Chen came back to his senses, "By the way, before we went to Luojiang to stay at Qiao Qianyan's Inn, did you pay in cash directly or online?"

Xiao Xu: "I originally planned to give cash directly, but at that time the boss Xiao Qiao reminded me that there were discounts on Meituan, so I changed the online order."

Xing Chen looked ahead and said, "Since you have an account, then go and write him some positive comments."

Xiao Xu: "...I never write reviews. I—"

Xing Chen interrupted him mercilessly: "You are asked to write a few good reviews, but not a government work report. How can there be so many words?"

Xiao Xu: "..."

Xing Chen reminded again: "Write carefully, I will check."

Qiao Qianyan only found out that there was an extra 200 yuan in the phone bill every other day. During the holiday, the mobile phone received various order messages every day, and the phone bill was overwhelmed by text messages, and he never noticed it.He ruled out Wen Na, looked at the text message time, and guessed that it was Xing Chen who did it.He sent the screenshot of the notification to Xing Chen: Don't leave a name for doing good deeds, if I don't see it, you are at a loss.

After speaking, he was about to send Xing Chen a red envelope to pay back the money, but Xing Chen called.

Xing Chen sat in the office, looked at the teacup on the table, and said in a low voice, "Qianyan, don't pay back the money yet, there is something I want to ask you for help."

Qiao Qianyan: "What's the matter?"

Xing Chen: "My mother likes to drink the scented tea I bought in Luojiang last time, but I only bought a little at that time, and I lost it when I came back to give it away. So can you send me some more?"

Qiao Qianyan said straightforwardly: "Of course, you send me the address."

Xing Chen smiled: "I'll send it to you later. Are you busy these days?"

Qiao Qianyan was still typing on the computer with the other hand, and replied: "That's not true. Fortunately, my inn only has eight rooms. If there are more rooms, we will be exhausted."

When Xing Chen was in Luojiang, he knew that Grandma Qiao needed to take medicine every day for her illness, and the medicine cost was extremely high.Luojiang's economy is backward and the consumption level is low. The grandparents and grandchildren don't have any big expenses, and all the money earned by the inn has to be used for the old lady's medical treatment.

Xing Chen: "People all over the country point to this holiday in the second half of the year, which is no more crowded than summer vacation."

Qiao Qianyan has a deep understanding. Although summer vacation is the peak season, tourists will not be so dense because of the long vacation.

Qiao Qianyan: "Are you not on vacation?"

Xing Chen: "Going to your place to travel has overdrawn the vacation, and I can only work overtime at the unit during the National Day."

Qiao Qianyan laughed and said, "Looking at the time you're calling, it doesn't look like you're working overtime."

Xing Chen stretched his waist and said, "You can't tell that I'm working from the phone..."

Seeing that another order was placed online, Qiao Qianyan hurriedly hung up the phone: "I won't tell you, I have a guest here who wants to make a reservation."

After putting down the phone, Xing Chen took out the calendar and flipped through it, looking at the date while thinking about how to spare time.

Qiao Qianyan communicated with the guest who booked the room through the background, and the other party was also from Ancheng, so he made a reservation as soon as he saw the name of the inn.Qiao Qianyan asked him when he would check in, and the guest replied that he was already on his way and would arrive in the afternoon.

Mrs. Qiao stayed in the room to sew when there were so many people. On the one hand, she felt dizzy when there were so many people coming and going. go out.

In the afternoon, Qiao Qianyan was sorting things behind the counter when several people came in pushing suitcases.

A woman's voice said: "Boss, I booked a room with you in the morning, we fellow."

Qiao Qianyan raised his head, his eyes met, both of them were stunned.

Qiao Qianyan was expressionless: "Long time no see."

People around the woman asked her, "Sister, do you know each other?"

The woman surnamed Liu didn't meet Qiao Qianyan's eyes, and quickly said, "You can leave the room, we'll find another hotel." After speaking, she pulled the suitcase and strode out.

"Liu Wan!" Granny Qiao's voice suddenly sounded.

Liu Wan and Qiao Qianyan turned their heads at the same time, she looked at the old lady Qiao in shock, and opened her mouth a few times before calling out: "Godmother..."

Qiao Qianyan immediately walked over to block between the two, turned to Liu Wan and said, "Hurry up and leave!"

Granny Qiao grabbed Qiao Qianyan's arm and said angrily, "Don't let her go, I have something to ask her."

Qiao Qianyan pressed the old lady's shoulder: "Grandma, there is nothing to ask about the past."

Seeing the old lady like that, Liu Wan turned around and ran away when she heard Qiao Qianyan let her go.

Seeing Liu Wan go out, Mrs. Qiao trembled with anger: "She has called me godmother for 30 years, and your father regards her as his own sister. Why is she not our family?"

Qiao Qianyan had passed the initial period of anger, he patted grandma on the back to calm her down, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "It's all over grandma."

Qiao Qianyan and his grandma were not aware of the specific situation back then. Mrs. Qiao went with him to seek help from Liu Wan, then director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and was rejected four times until Qiao's father went to prison. Did not see the grandparents and grandchildren.Qiao Qianyan had resentment at the time, but later she realized that for public affairs, Liu Wan wanted to avoid suspicion; for private affairs, Liu Wan wanted to protect herself.

But even though I can figure it out intellectually, the relationship that has been like a family for decades is like a stranger overnight, and Mrs. Qiao can't accept it.So after all the dust settled, Qiao Qianyan decided to take grandma out of Ancheng and stay away from the old people ever since.

After Qiao Qianyan persuaded her for a while, the old lady calmed down and went back to her room to continue her work.

After lunch, there were three guests checking out on the second floor, and Wen Na hurried to clean them.Qiao Qianyan went through the formalities for them at the front desk, but a customer lost his ID card and insisted that he lost it in the hotel, and insisted on asking Qiao Qianyan for an explanation.

Qiao Qianyan reasoned with them one by one, and it took a lot of effort to make sense of several people.After sending these people away, Qiao Qianyan went to see Mrs. Qiao's room, but when she opened the door, she found that there was no one in the room.He searched inside and out, and called Wen Na on the second floor to search again, but there was still no one.

Qiao Qianyan's heart suddenly twitched.

Wen Na also became frightened: "Brother Qiao, won't grandma run away?"

Qiao Qianyan remorsefully wanted to slap himself. He should have thought that grandma couldn't stand the stimulation now. When she saw Liu Wan at noon, she probably lost her mind at that time. Looking outside, grandma took the opportunity to sneak out to find Liu Wan.

Qiao Qianyan called grandma, hung up immediately when she heard the bell ringing in the room, and ran to the street outside the inn to search around, but she didn't find it as expected.

Right now, Luojiang is full of tourists from other places. Mrs. Qiao has been out for a while, and she has no idea where she was taken by the flow of people.Qiao Qianyan immediately called the police, because Mrs. Qiao was mentally ill, and the case could be filed immediately according to regulations.But the police also explained the situation to Qiao Qianyan. Now most of them have been transferred to various scenic spots on duty. The police force is insufficient, so it may not be so fast to find them.

Qiao Qianyan naturally understood the work of the police, but he didn't dare to think about possible accidents. He pleaded on the phone: "I understand, but please do your best, okay? I will continue to look for it here."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qianyan ran back to the inn. Several young guests were playing cards in the yard. He walked up to them and quickly said, "Hello, can you help me find my grandma? You have lived here for a few days and you all know each other. Hers. I can waive the room fee, please help me now, can you?"

Seeing that he was very anxious, the guests kindly agreed.Qiao Qianyan took out a map from the room, divided the people into several groups, and each took charge of an area to find people.

Qiao Qianyan left Wen Na at the inn and asked her to wander around the alley. In case the old lady was still nearby, as long as she walked up the street, Wen Na would be able to see her at the alley.

Xing Chen was going to dinner after the meeting in the afternoon, and was about to ask Xiao Xu to drive, but he saw him rushing in.

"Director Xing, look quickly, Mrs. Qiao is missing!"

Xing Chen grabbed the phone, and it was the Weibo homepage of "Ancheng Inn". After a missing person notice, Aite had a lot of media accounts, and there was a photo of the old lady below.

"Didn't you want me to write a good review for the inn? I saw someone in the comments saying that the inn has a Weibo, so I added it. I didn't expect the latest Weibo to be the old lady's missing person notice."

Xing Chen called Qiao Qianyan, and he was on the phone twice in a row, only to be picked up the third time: "Qianyan, grandma is missing?"

Qiao Qianyan didn't have time to ask how Xing Chen knew, and hurriedly replied: "Well, I'm looking for it, so I'll hang up first."

Xing Chen put down the phone and said to Xiao Xu: "You book a train ticket for me immediately, I'm going to Luojiang."

Moving a car is twice as fast as driving your own car.

Xiao Xu stammered: "You, what's the use of you going?"

Xing Chen lowered his head and flipped through his phone. He remembered that his father had a friend who was a leader in the province where Luojiang was located. The police were the most professional in finding someone.Xiao Xu drove him to the train station, and Xing Chen didn't stop making phone calls along the way, and it took several twists and turns before he got in touch with the local second-in-command.Although Ancheng and Luojiang are not at odds with each other, they are both officials of the same dynasty. They were transferred from all over the country, and after a few phone calls, they might have a relationship.

By the time he got on the train, Xing Chen had already contacted Captain Zhang of the local police station.Captain Zhang immediately dispatched a group of people to help find it.

More than three hours later, Xing Chen arrived at Luojiang Central Station. The bus from the station to the scenic spot would only leave if there were enough people. Xing Chen immediately hired a minivan to go to the scenic spot.

It was already dark, so Xing Chen called to ask Captain Zhang about his situation, and the reply he got was that he hadn't been found yet.

Xing Chen's mind is full of Qiao Qianyan's appearance, and Qiao Qianyan is probably going crazy at this time.

Xing Chen was right, Qiao Qianyan was indeed dying of anxiety.He and the passengers in the inn searched all the streets in the scenic area, and went in every shop and inn to ask, until it was dark.
