My Youth Began With Him

Still unsettled, Zhu Lingling shook her head.

“I’ve told them to get the surveillance clip. I’ll find this bastard and kill him… Damn it, he dared to beat my wife.”

Gao Ran was furious that his wife was beaten.

“Usually, a five-star hotel isn’t so unsafe… Lingling, did you notice anyone following you as you drove from home?” Huo Mian asked.

“I didn’t notice that.” Zhu Lingling was a housewife and wasn’t so alert.

“Then… Why did you open the door to go downstairs?”

“The receptionist told me that there’s something wrong in my check-in information and wanted me to go and check it,” Zhu Lingling tried to remember the details of the incident.

“The hotel was involved?” Huo Mian was surprised.

Gao Ran said immediately, “No, I asked and no one in the hotel called Lingling. It must be the suspect who called her in the name of a hotel employee to get Lingling out of her room.”

“It’s fortunate that he didn’t pretend to be room service and enter the room to commit violence. After all, Boyuan was in the room.” Huo Mian was fearful at this thought.

“Yeah. Fortunately, my son is okay, otherwise… I’d have no reason to live.”

Zhu Lingling began to cry.

“This thing is… very weird. I don’t think it was a random attack…” Qin Chu hadn’t spoken; he had been mulling over the whole incident.

“Anyway, I’ll catch that fellow.”

At this moment, Gao Ran’s cellphone rang and he went out to answer it.

Huo Mian talked with Zhu Lingling for a while. Before they left, Qin Chu asked Gao Ran about the surveillance video in the hotel and Gao Ran told him the camera had indeed caught that fellow. But the figure looked blurry on the video and he wore a cap and a mask, so the video couldn’t help them find the suspect.

On their way home, Huo Mian mulled over her talk with Zhu Lingling and said to Qin Chu, “Hon, the guy who attacked Lingling… must be found.”

“Gao Ran and I are working on it.”

“I don’t think Gao Ran is looking in the right direction. You must investigate around Chen Yuning.”

“You suspect she was involved in it?” Qin Chu was surprised that Huo Mian mentioned Chen Yuning.

“I asked Lingling about the details of tonight’s events. The only clue I have is… Gao Ran went out to a gathering with Chen Yuning and other colleagues and then Lingling received the provocative photo and had a fight with Gao Ran; then Gao Ran went home and Lingling left home… These series of events can’t be coincidental, otherwise Lingling wouldn’t have been targeted the moment she checked into a hotel. After all, Lingling’s car isn’t a luxurious one and she isn’t dressed in brand-name clothes; so I wondered why someone would target her.”

“You suspect that woman was involved in all these things.”

“Yeah. Hon, investigate her… I want to catch the person who attacked Lingling.”

Huo Mian said the words calmly but she was furious inside. Her bestie Lingling was attacked today and had deep handprints on her neck and bruises on her wrists.

Huo Mian couldn’t let it go; she wondered what kind of evil guy could do this to Lingling and her son.

“Okay. Leave it to me.” Qin Chu knew his wife was always right with her analyses, so he nodded his agreement.
