Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School Novel - Chapter 985
Chapter 985: Let My Mother Help
Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen and asked, “Did you call your sister? I don’t have her number.”
Jian Yichen nodded. “I did. I couldn’t get through.”
Jian Changsheng was also a little anxious. It was almost eleven in the evening. Usually, his daughter would be asleep. She had never been home so late before.
They couldn’t get through to her on the phone, and she had left Yaochi. They couldn’t help but think of something worse.
“How about this? My mother works here. I’ll ask her to help me retrieve the surveillance cameras tonight. Because the check-out time for their private room is around ten, I think Jian Yiyi left at that time,” Jian Ai said as he looked at Jian Yichen and Jian Changsheng.
Jian Changsheng’s heart trembled.
Didn’t Meizi leave Yaochi? Back then, he specially came back to look for her. The waiter told her that Manager Wang had already resigned!
Why was she back?
He felt inexplicably nervous. Because he felt guilty towards Wang Yunmei, Jian Changsheng would instinctively feel nervous every time he saw Wang Yunmei. This time, he was even more nervous because Xiao Ai was also there!
He had no intention of acknowledging Xiao Ai. He was afraid that Wang Yunmei would misunderstand him.
Jian Ai naturally knew nothing about this. She only wanted to help Jian Yichen find Jian Yiyi.
Wang Yunmei was not in the hall. Jian Ai called Wang Yunmei and briefly explained the situation.
When Wang Yunmei heard that someone had lost their child, she hung up and took the elevator from the office upstairs to the lobby on the first floor.
When she saw Jian Changsheng, and her daughter was standing beside him, Wang Yunmei was stunned and froze on the spot.
At this moment, her mind was blank, and she could not react.
Jian Changsheng was quick-witted. He rushed forward and gave Wang Yunmei a look. He said, “You’re Xiao Ai’s mother, right? I’m sorry to trouble you. My daughter came here to play with her friends at night. She left at around nine in the evening and hasn’t been home. I would like to trouble you for help.”
It was unknown if Wang Yunmei had received his look, but she had heard Jian Changsheng’s words. She couldn’t help but look at Jian Changsheng suspiciously.
Jian Ai walked forward. “Mom, it’s my classmate. She’s not home yet. Can you help Uncle Jian check the surveillance cameras and see what happened?”
Jian Ai’s words pulled Wang Yunmei’s dazed mind back. Looking at Jian Changsheng and her daughter’s condition, something didn’t seem amiss.
Wang Yunmei calmed herself down and nodded. “What time did your daughter leave?”
Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai.
Jian Ai thought for a moment. “I bumped into Jian Yiyi in the bathroom at night. It should be around nine in the evening. When I called Yichen, it was ten in the evening. We should look at the surveillance cameras during this hour.”
“Follow me to the surveillance room,” Wang Yunmei said and turned around to lead the way.
Losing a child was a big deal. No matter how much Wang Yunmei hated Jian Changsheng, she still had to help him. After all, it had only been an hour since Jian Yiyi left Yaochi. They did not consider her to be missing and they couldn’t call the police yet.
In the surveillance room, the staff adjusted the surveillance cameras in the hall and the corridor outside Jian Yiyi’s room to nine in the evening and played the footage quickly.
Not long after, Jian Ai appeared in the scene first, followed by Jian Yiyi. This should be the scene of the two of them returning to the private room after meeting in the bathroom.
After about forty minutes, Jian Yiyi appeared in the surveillance footage again. This time, her entire body was limp, and she walked out of the room with no reaction with the help of two boys.
