Chapter 857 - 838: Everything She Wants
Just as Lou Xi was worrying, Qin Mobai’s phone rang.
"Mr. Qin, we’ve checked, and there’s no record of a ’Bai Lu’ at any hotel in Dali." The person on the other end had checked all the check-in information, and there was no record of Bai Lu.
"She withdrew money from this area."
"We checked the surveillance at that time, and she indeed looks like the person in the photo you provided us, but there’s indeed no check-in information for Bai Lu. We’ve already notified people all over Dali to look out for Bai Lu, and if anything comes up, we’ll let you know immediately."
"Alright." Qin Mobai replied in a deep voice before hanging up the phone.
Seeing Qin Mobai’s somewhat heavy expression, Lou Xi asked, "What’s going on?"
"Can’t find Bai Lu’s check-in information. She might have used someone else’s ID to check-in, or she didn’t stay at a hotel." Qin Mobai analyzed.
"Then, with Erhai Lake being so vast, how can we find Bai Lu?" If they were searching at Erhai Lake, they wouldn’t know how long it might take to find her.
If they search with great fanfare and Bai Lu finds out, she would surely slip away quietly.
Looking for someone is a difficult task, especially for someone who doesn’t want to be found.
Unless the person appears voluntarily.
"Let’s go to the hotel first, you’ve been on a plane for so long, you must be tired." Qin Mobai insisted that Lou Xi go to the hotel, "As long as Bai Lu isn’t in danger, there’s no rush."
"I suppose so."
...
Nancheng.
Ji Nanming left the hospital, hesitated for a long time, and finally went to the police station with a lawyer.
Seeing Ji Nanming again in the reception room left Lin Qianqian puzzled; this man was truly relentless, coming here time and again.
Lin Qianqian had already told the police at the station that if the fraud charge was confirmed, she would be sentenced to less than three years in prison.
She knew she had done wrong and should be punished; going to prison was the best escape for her.
It would also allow her to cut ties with her previous family; her rural family was the least willing to have anything to do with prisoners.
Therefore, Lin Qianqian was more inclined to go to prison.
"Why are you here again?" Lin Qianqian looked at the enigmatic Ji Nanming, feeling uncertain.
Ji Nanming looked at the unadorned Lin Qianqian; in her calmness, she appeared somewhat closer to Lou Xi.
"I’ll bail you out."
"There’s no free lunch in the world; if you bail me out, what do you want in return?" Lin Qianqian had been mixed up in nightclubs for years, naturally understanding this principle, so when Ji Nanming proposed this, Lin Qianqian naturally thought of this.
Ji Nanming did not deny, "Yes, I have a condition."
Lin Qianqian sneered, "What is it? If it’s killing and setting fires, robbery, or vandalism, I won’t do it."
"You don’t need to do those things." Ji Nanming said, "I will bail you out, return your indenture, and help you completely sever ties with your original family, also send you abroad for studies."
Lin Qianqian looked at Ji Nanming in disbelief.
Those conditions are all Lin Qianqian ever wanted.
She wanted to completely sever ties with the nightclub and didn’t want to return to that rural home; moreover, she wanted a better education to make up for so many lost years.
Particularly during the time she was pretending to be Lou Xi, Lin Qianqian realized that other than sharing the same face, she had nothing else in common with Lou Xi.
