Chapter 1792: I have already returned to China

At this moment, Shi Misi had no idea that Ye Chen had not left him a single chance to kneel, kowtow, and apologize.

As for Ye Chen, he was currently on the flight path back to Jin Ling.

Although Ye Chen's private jet did not have the speed of the Concorde, its interior was no less luxurious than the Concorde's. At this moment, Ye Chen was resting in a guest room more opulent than any five-star hotel, completely free from the exhaustion and toil of the journey.

Meanwhile, Shi Misi had spent the entire morning searching for connections at the Washington police department, going to great lengths to investigate Ye Chen's residence.

Because he only knew how to read Ye Chen's name but did not know how to spell it in English letters, the search had been quite a laborious process.

Later, a friend at the police station used a filtering method to compile the data of all male Chinese nationals who had checked into hotels in Washington yesterday. Shi Misi sat in front of the computer and looked through the photos one by one. After an hour, he finally confirmed the hotel and room number where Ye Chen was actually staying.

His friend at the police station made a call, then patted Shi Misi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You don't have to be too anxious. I've already asked the hotel; this guy named Ye Chen booked a room for a week, so he definitely won't be leaving Washington anytime soon."

Shi Misi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Pete. I'll treat you to a drink another day!"

The other party smiled, "Don't be so polite. Do you want me to go with you?"

Shi Misi waved his hand, "No, no. I'm going to apologize. If I bring a police officer along, the other party might think I'm trying to threaten him."

"Alright." The other party nodded, "Then I'll give the person in charge at the hotel a heads-up so they don't stop you from entering."

"Good!"

Shi Misi left the police station, got into his car, and hurried toward the hotel where Ye Chen was staying.

Upon arriving at the hotel, he informed the security staff of his name. Having already received the message from the police officer, the security staff immediately swiped a card to let him take the elevator to the guest room floor.

Standing at the door of Ye Chen's room, Shi Misi felt very uneasy.

He was terrified that Ye Chen would open the door and immediately slam it shut, or perhaps look through the peephole, see it was him, and simply refuse to open the door at all.

After hesitating at the door for a long time, he could only bite the bullet and press the doorbell.

The doorbell rang three times, but there was no movement inside.

Shi Misi kept his eyes fixed on the tiny spot of light in the peephole.

Looking from the outside into the peephole, it was impossible to see anything, but one could see the light from within.

Shi Misi wanted to use the changes in this light to determine whether anyone was walking around inside.

It was just that he had pressed the doorbell several times, and the spot of light in the peephole had not changed at all.

Shi Misi was somewhat puzzled, thinking to himself, "It doesn't make sense to pretend not to hear it while inside the room, right? Wouldn't that be too childish?"

Helpless, Shi Misi could only continue to press the doorbell while knocking forcefully on the door, shouting, "Mr. Ye, it's me, Shi Misi. May I ask if you are awake?"

There was still no response from inside the room.

Shi Misi cupped his chin, "Strange... it doesn't make sense to pretend not to hear it while inside the room, right? Wouldn't that be too childish?"

Shi Misi had no choice but to continue knocking forcefully.

At this moment, the door to the adjacent room pushed open, and a shirtless, burly man cursed angrily, "Are you looking for death? What are you knocking for so early in the morning! Do you believe I'll smash your skull in?"

Facing this typical cowboy-style, bearded brute, Shi Misi could only apologize repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll be quieter, I'll be quieter..."

The man pointed at him and gritted his teeth, "Quieter? From now on, if you dare to make any more noise, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Shi Misi quickly shut his mouth, kept saluting with his hands, his expression very submissive.

Only then did the other party let him off and return to his room.

Shi Misi had no choice; he simply sat cross-legged at the door of Ye Chen's room, muttering to himself, "I can't knock or call out, but sitting here waiting for Ye Chen should be fine, right? I don't believe Ye Chen can avoid me without coming out for breakfast? This is the twenty-second floor, after all; he certainly can't climb out the window to escape..."

Having made up his mind, Shi Misi sat at the door of Ye Chen's room to wait, not daring to slack off even though his stomach was growling with hunger.

At the same time, he kept calling Ye Chen's phone while sitting there. It was a pity that no matter how he called, the other party remained powered off.

During this time, he also asked the hotel staff to call Ye Chen's room, but the response remained that there was no answer.

Shi Misi waited until noon. By this time, the plane Ye Chen was on had finally landed at Jin Ling Airport in the night.

There was a twelve-hour time difference between the two locations, so it was already midnight in Jin Ling.

After the plane landed, Ye Chen immediately turned on his phone. He had wanted to report to Ye Chen, but thinking it was too late, he decided not to disturb him.

Just as the plane hadn't come to a complete stop, his phone suddenly rang. The call was from Shi Misi.

At this moment, Shi Misi had been sitting at the door of Ye Chen's room for four hours, having made hundreds of calls, completely unaware that Ye Chen had already returned to China, thousands of miles away.

Ye Chen answered the phone and asked in a cold tone, "Mr. Shi Misi, why are you calling me again?"

Shi Misi stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, I'm sorry! I apologize for all my previous behavior and remarks. I am currently at the door of your room. Please open the door and let me apologize to you in person!"

At this moment, Shi Misi was prepared: once Ye Chen opened the door, he would kneel down before saying anything else.

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "What door of my room?"

Shi Misi blurted out, "It's the door to your room at the Hilton Hotel, 2208. I've been waiting at the door all morning, Mr. Ye. Please open the door and let me apologize to you in person!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "But I'm not at the Hilton Hotel. I've already returned to China."

"What?!" Shi Misi was stunned, blurted out, "Mr. Ye, you'd better stop joking with me. Didn't you just come to the United States? How could you have returned to China?"

Ye Chen let out a cold laugh, "I did indeed come to the United States to handle some business, mainly wanting to find Mr. Shi Misi to help resolve the difficulties of getting Nine Mysteries Pharmaceutical's drugs listed in the United States. But as you know, you rejected me, so why should I stay in the United States? I had no choice but to return and report to my boss."

"No..." Shi Misi thought Ye Chen was playing with him, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, I know you must be very angry with me. I truly feel extremely sorry! You were right; I was indeed a frog in a well. I have already realized my mistake. You can beat me or scold me, and I won't have any objections. I only ask that you don't hold it against someone like me and give me a chance to correct my mistake..."
