Chapter 367

Over there, Lu Yu was having a dream.

She had fallen into the sea and was struggling hard but couldn't get up.

So this is what drowning feels like; it really is too uncomfortable.

But she felt like she was on the bed in the guesthouse, not on a fishing boat in the ocean.

She felt her face was all wet with water; she wanted to open her eyes in terror, but she couldn't open them no matter what.

Over there, Cao Jing couldn't find the switch on the wall, but she had woken up. She couldn't see anything in the darkness and could only scream in terror, "Lu Yu, Lu Yu..."

Mouse Da called to its younger brother: 【Let's go!】

Mouse Er darted very high. The little master said that it and its brother were Mouse Xiaobao spirits and also underground kings; they absolutely would not give that woman a chance to accidentally touch them.

She is a bad woman with a dirty heart and dirty hands.

Mouse Er landed and, together with its brother, darted under the bed, entered a hole through a crack, and then ran out of the guesthouse area. It was only a matter of a few breaths before they met up with Hua Hua, who was waiting outside.

Although the little yellow dog couldn't participate, it had come too.

It was guarding at the main gate.

Now seeing that everyone had come out, it breathed a sigh of relief; it had also been worried about its little companions being caught.

Hua Hua said: 【No need to report to the little master; the little master should be sleeping now. Let's go to the lakeside for a party.】

Night owls, night owls...

Both cats loved the night. Having successfully completed a big job together, they certainly had to share it with the old turtle and the others.

The few birds were naturally the same.

They weren't afraid of staying up late; anyway, they didn't have to go to work or school tomorrow.

Thus, taking advantage of the night, they all ran toward Red Star Lake.

The next morning, Qin Hengzhi drove over to pick up Lu Qiaoge and Lu Yun.

After thinking it over, he decided to meet in the food factory's conference room.

Lu Qiaoge and Lu Yun entered the food factory, while Qin Hengzhi drove to the guesthouse.

Lu Yun stood at the main gate and asked Lu Qiaoge, "Is this where the Xiang Yang brand instant noodles were born?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Yes, at that time this was still a pickle factory; at first, it only made corn cakes and crispy cakes."

Lu Yun rarely showed a smile: "You girl, listening to your tone, those who didn't know would think you were reminiscing about the old days, but in fact, it hasn't even been half a year. It's truly remarkable."

Such talent is rare even in Nanyang.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and opened the conference room door. Lu Qiao Ling had arrived early and brought two teacups.

She said a few affectionate words to Lu Yun and then walked away with light steps.

She had to start preparing for the recruitment work.

It was her first time doing it, and although there were several leaders above her, she felt the burden on her shoulders was very heavy.

But at the same time, she felt full of ambition.

She must do it well and let the recruitment proceed smoothly.

Meanwhile, Qin Hengzhi arrived at the guesthouse and listened to Cao Jing complaining to him in a way that was hard to describe.

"Hengzhi, Aunt Lu and I didn't sleep well all night last night. If it weren't for the fact that your partner is also in this unit, we would have reported it to the police at the time."

Over there, Manager Tian of the guesthouse rolled his eyes inwardly, but still endured and said, "Representative Qin, the situation is like this..."

Late last night, Cao Jing frantically called for the attendant, saying that her shoes were full of sand and that water had been splashed on her face. At the time, they took it very seriously because they were not only Lu Qiaoge's guests but also from Beidu, so they always had to be a bit careful.

But the problem was that their room door had been bolted from the inside; unless someone kicked the door down, no one could get in at all.

The same went for the windows; the latches were bolted securely.

Manager Tian said sternly to the two: "Although it's not clear what happened at the moment, I hope you two will be realistic and not make wild guesses."

He then added: "Did you two have a nightmare and accidentally knock over a water cup?"

Cao Jing said angrily: "Then what about the sand in my shoes? You saw it just now, I wasn't lying, right?"

Lu Yu's face was pale: "And the opened canvas bag."

The attendant said in a low voice: "Could it be sleepwalking? I was on duty last night and fell asleep in the second half of the night."

Cao Jing denied it flatly: "I don't have the habit of sleepwalking at all."

Lu Yu also said: "Neither do I."

A strange feeling rose in Qin Hengzhi's heart, but he still asked in a standard way: "Aunt Cao, Aunt Lu, did you lose money, food coupons, or other things?"

The two shook their heads; Lu Yu said: "No money was lost."

Qin Hengzhi: "Then are you going to see Lu Yun, or are you prepared to report the incident that happened at night to the public security bureau and then investigate the truth?"

Manager Tian's face changed, but then he remembered what the attendant had said and felt relieved.

In fact, he didn't know what was going on either.

It was truly too strange.

The window latches were bolted, and the door bolt was the same; there were only the two of them in the room.

Who knows what these two were up to?

Cao Jing frowned, her heart beating unsteadily.

Thinking of what happened last night, her mind was still a mess.

But Manager Tian was right.

She called the attendant, but the attendant couldn't open the door; it wasn't until she slid the bolt open that the attendant and the duty manager came in.

It was impossible for anyone to have entered their room.

This was a standard room, with beds against the walls and two nightstands beside them, and a wardrobe against the north wall. When the attendant and the duty manager came in, both the space under the beds and the wardrobe had been checked.

Moreover, the attendant had repeatedly guaranteed that she had checked before the guests moved in, and it was impossible for anyone to be hiding in the room.

But if it wasn't a person, what could it be?

Lu Yu also felt uneasy. She asked: "If we report it, how will they investigate?"

Qin Hengzhi first stood in front of the window to open it, then closed it and checked the door, before saying in a deep voice: "With the latches bolted, no one can enter the room."

Manager Tian nodded vigorously: "Representative Qin is right, unless you opened the door or windows from the inside."

Qin Hengzhi looked at Cao Jing and said seriously: "Aunt Cao, if you report it, all this will definitely be written in the record book. If you don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, I suggest Aunt Cao try to describe what happened in the room at night as realistically as possible."

Cao Jing and Lu Yu looked at each other.

They understood Qin Hengzhi's implication.

That is, if these things were written in the record book, someone might say they were being mysterious and engaging in feudal superstition.

Cao Jing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Forget it, let's leave it at that for now.

Because it was indeed strange; the windows were closed, and the door was locked from the inside. Who could have come in?

She frowned and said: "Let's go, we'll go with you to see Lu Yun; that is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Manager Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Hengzhi took the two downstairs, got into the jeep, and sped toward the Xiang Yang Street Office Food Factory.

After everyone had left, the attendant whispered to Manager Tian: "They looked very scared, but they also scared me. Manager Tian, I swear to you, there absolutely couldn't have been anyone in that room, because it was impossible to get in."
