Chapter 226 Mother-child Vermin (2/2)
”You don't need to go.” Shen Xinglan had arranged everything. ”Ding V will go, of course. I will ask Shen I to bring some people to take care of them. There should be no problem.”
Unlike the times before, now even stockaded villages in South Xinjiang had to listen to the government. Things like vermin had not been exposed to the public for a long time. That was why those ordinary people thought the vermin only existed in the novels.
”It's a good thing that you didn't say you would go there yourself.” Le Yi had thought that Shen Xinglan would go there in person anyway.
Shaking his head, Shen Xinglan said, ”I won't leave A Miao alone.”
”Then... do you want to look for Yu Sihan?” Le Yi said and took a business card from a drawer.
There was only a line of beautiful characters in cursive style on the business card. It was Yu Sihan's name along with his telephone number.
”No,” Shen Xinglan answered with a glint flashing across his eyes.
The purpose of Yu Sihan's vermin was nothing more than to control A Miao, for fear that they would go back on their word a year later.
”If Yu Sihan knows that we are going to help A Miao get rid of the vermin, will he do something to harm A Miao?” Le Yi suddenly became concerned.
However, Shen Xinglan closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment. ”Actually, I hope that he will take action.”
”Why...” Le Yi opened his mouth and tried to ask something, but he soon understood what Shen Xinglan meant.
If Yu Sihan took action, it meant that he was afraid of the vermin being taken out of A Miao's body. But if he did nothing, it meant that... It meant that he was not scared at all because the vermin could not be taken out of her body.
It was three days later that A Miao discovered that both Wei Meng and Ding V were missing.
”Did she return to the lab again?” asked A Miao. She thought that Wei Meng was back at the lab to do her research on something again.
With great composure, Shen Xinglan peeled a shrimp for her and answered, ”I suppose that's the case. Le Yi told me so.”
”Then, it is true!” Thinking of Wei Meng's enthusiasm, A Miao replied, ”No wonder I haven't seen her in several days.” She ate the shrimp and asked again, ”Ling Lang will leave the hospital tomorrow. Do we need to visit her?”
”No need,” said Shen Xinglan. At this time, Shen Xinglan was trying his best to keep her away from the hospital. That was because he was afraid there would be trouble if she met with an accident once again by chance and triggered the movements of the vermin.
A Miao nodded. ”I agree. We can visit them after they get back home.”
”It will be pretty convenient to visit them in the future.” Shen Xinglan stretched out his hand and pointed to the right. ”That villa on our right belongs to Le Yi.”
”The one with the red roof?” A Miao said excitedly, ”That makes us neighbors, and it will be very convenient for us to pay visits to each other in the future!”
Shen Xinglan put down his chopsticks. ”Right, we will visit them when we have time later.”
At first, everything was going along pretty smoothly. No matter how anxious Shen Xinglan was, he could succeed in holding back his emotions. But before he had gotten any news from Wei Meng, He Shishi arrived at his place.
”A Miao, Wei Meng is missing,” He Shishi said with a solemn look.
A Miao was arranging flowers in her hands! Hearing what she said, she was stunned.
”Didn't she go back to the lab?” A Miao asked.
”No,” He Shishi replied and showed her telephone to A Miao. ”You see, she never replied to my messages, and her cellphone cannot be reached either. This morning, I specially went to the lab but didn't see her. Her colleagues told me that she hadn't come back yet.”
A Miao also began to feel panic, and then she called Shen Xinglan in a hurry.
Shen Xinglan was reading documents in the living room. He had overheard everything they said. When he heard what He Shishi said, he knew he was in trouble now.
”Shishi told me that Wei Meng is missing.” A Miao walked up to him with her hands on her belly.
Shen Xinglan threw a cold glance at He Shishi, who looked utterly blank at this time and didn't know why Shen Xinglan had suddenly become so upset with her.
”I already know about it,” Shen Xinglan said, helping A Miao sit down. ”Ding V has something to deal with, so she followed him.”
A Miao said confusedly, ”But you told me before that she had returned to the lab.”
”Yeah, I thought that Ding V went there alone, I didn't expect that he would take Wei Meng with him.”
He Shishi threw a question at him. ”What kind of thing can be so important that she even refuses to answer the phone?”
Shen Xinglan really wanted to throw this woman out...
”Even you have no idea?” Seeing that Shen Xinglan remained silent, A Miao started to guess by herself. ”Ding V didn't even tell you about this thing that means that it must be pretty big.”
”Em, everyone has their personal affairs. We should leave them alone,” Shen Xinglan said indifferently.
Although He Shishi felt that something was wrong, she dared not ask anything more when she saw Shen Xinglan's serious look. She left without having supper. But the next day, she came back.
”I still feel that something is wrong.” This time, He Shishi was a little more cautious, she pulled A Miao into the room and spoke to her in private.
A Miao yawned. ”What's the matter with you this time?”
”Where is Shen I?” He Shishi asked. ”I didn't see him yesterday.”
”It seems that I haven't seen him in the past two days...”
A Miao thought for a while and then said, ”Maybe he has something to do.” A Miao didn't think twice.
”Why don't you ask Shen Xinglan?” He Shishi didn't want to give up.
”Don't you have anything else to do?” Glancing at her, A Miao said, ”Wei Meng left you alone, so now you must feel bored.”
Curling her lips, He Shishi stood up. ”Forget it. I will go to play with Ling Lang. Do you want to go with me?”
In the study, Shen Xinglan received a call from Shen I.
”Boss, things are not going well.”
