Chapter 22: Happiness and Sorrow (Part 1)

Knocking on the door, Pet Tiange and Night Baby Ning walked into Dr. James's office one after the other, and the doctor was carefully looking at the eye X-ray and CT scan in front of him.

Seeing them come in, the doctor looked up, took off his glasses, and looked delighted.

"Mr. Pet, I think you can finally relax a little. Judging from the CT scan, the recovery is much better than I expected!"

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Ying Ning felt that her eyes were hot, before, she was almost desperate, if it weren't for the fact that Pet Tiange insisted on taking her to the United States for examination and treatment, she would have even thought about giving up completely.

"Do you mean that as long as you continue to treat and follow the steps, you can get better completely?"

Compared with Ye Yingning's excitement, after listening to Dr. James's words, Pet Tiange calmed down.

Dr. James raised his hand, motioned for him to come closer, and pointed out the film to him.

"Originally, this area was injured, but fortunately it wasn't too serious, because it was still a little bit away from here......"

He explained in detail, although the words were mixed with some medical terms that the two of them didn't understand, but they still understood the general meaning.

"Next, you can choose to return to your home country to continue your treatment, after all, it is still not very convenient here. ”

Dr. James put forward his opinion, Pet Tiange wanted to continue to stay in the United States, but Ye Yingning felt that this was too much to delay the company's affairs, and she decided to return to China as soon as possible.

He couldn't resist it, so he had to agree.

After coming out of the hospital, the mood of the two people finally relaxed completely.

"What do you want to eat?"

Pet Tiange turned on the car stereo, played noisy rock music, and took the night baby Ning around the city, he hadn't expressed his emotions so recklessly for a long time, and at this moment he seemed to have returned to himself ten years ago, venting the happiness in his heart wantonly.

Ye Ying Ning also seemed to be infected by his emotions, and the depression in her heart for many days was swept away, if it wasn't for the time difference, she really wanted to tell the good news to Pet Jingxuan immediately, and tell him that her mother would soon be able to return to China and live with him.

"I want to eat Chinese food, I don't want to eat Western food. ”

She answered honestly that she had been in the United States for many days, and she really missed home-cooked food.

Pet Tiange said yes and drove the car directly to Chinatown.

Washington's Chinatown, located at the junction of 7th Street and H Street in downtown Washington, is still far from New York's Chinatown, not only there are few Chinese restaurants, but also the taste is average, and there are even many shops on the street that have nothing to do with Chinese characteristics. But in any case, at least this is the most Chinese taste in the city, more or less, it can still make Chinese feel the taste of home.

Pet Tiange parked the car, and then walked hand in hand with Ye Ying Ning through the huge archway, and the two stopped and stopped, wanting to pick a restaurant that looked good.

It's a pity that most of the restaurants here seem to be based on the style of Guangdong and Chaoshan, which makes the two northerners who grew up in Zhonghai can't bear it. In the end, though, they chose one of the restaurants that looked acceptable.

The restaurant is the first and second floors, although the first floor is dissatisfied, but it is a little noisy, pet Tiange directly and Ye Ying Ning went to the second floor, the second floor is very quiet, not even a single guest.

The boss who speaks Teochew dialect came to receive him in person and highly recommended several of his signature dishes.

Pet Tiange is very face-saving, basically, he ordered all the signature dishes, and the boss naturally smiled, and the hospitality was more enthusiastic and courteous.

"Madam, do you want to go to the bathroom, over there, I can take you there. ”

The boss was very attentive, and it happened that Ye Ying Ning also wanted to go, so he stood up and asked him to lead the way in front.

Pet Tiange immediately got up and said to go with her.

Ye Ying Ning originally wanted to say that she didn't have to, but after thinking about it, she was not familiar with life here after all, and she thought of the terrible news she had seen on the Internet, and immediately felt palpitations, nodded and said okay.

The three of them walked in the direction of the restroom, with the owner of the restaurant leading the way in front, and soon, they reached the door of the restroom.

At the door, a middle-aged aunt was cleaning, and Pet Tiange gave her a tip, making sure that there was no one in the women's bathroom, he pushed the door in and checked. Seeing that the bathroom was not big, there were only two partitions, but it was very clean, he checked around and made sure that there was no one inside, so he let Ye Ying Ning in.

"I'm waiting for you at the door, shouting if there are any questions. ”

He stood at the door very vigilantly, blocking the way, although the middle-aged aunt couldn't continue to work and was displeased, but after all, she had just taken a big tip, so she had to stand aside with a smiling face.

Night Baby Ning walked into the bathroom with her bag, walked to the second compartment, and locked the door.

Zhilu Dao was guarded by Pet Tiange outside, she was not too afraid, and her heart was full of ecstasy for her eyes.

When she flushed the water and pushed the door to wash her hands, as soon as the door of the next seat opened, a handkerchief fell towards Ye Ying Ning's face.

She immediately smelled an indescribable smell, panicked in her head, and then her head was dizzy, and her whole body involuntarily went weak and weak, and she fell forward.

A thin man immediately caught Ye Ying Ning, glanced around quickly, and then stretched out his hand and removed the exhaust fan on the wall, and there was immediately a big hole in the wall, and he quickly stuffed her in.

There seemed to be someone inside answering, and soon, the thin man disappeared into the women's bathroom with Night Baby Ning.

Pet Tiange outside the door didn't know about this, he was still waiting outside, after three minutes, he heard no sound inside, he was a little anxious, and couldn't help but raise his voice and ask: "Ying Ning, are you uncomfortable? Do you still need me to help you buy tampons?"

He thought she had a sudden menstrual period and was unprepared, so he was grinding inside.

Unexpectedly, there was no response at all.

Pet Tiange frowned, hesitated for two seconds, and immediately didn't think about it, kicked the door and rushed in.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, the bathroom was empty, Ye Ying Ning's handbag fell to the ground alone, and other than that, there was nothing.

His brain suddenly "buzzed" in an instant!

Ten minutes ago, Pet Tiange had a premonition that it was not good, and now it seems that he is not unfounded!

Ignoring the strange eyes of the aunt outside the door, Pet Tiange rushed out of the room, found the restaurant owner, grabbed him by the collar and pressed him against the window on the second floor.

"Say, are there any other exits in the bathroom? Where does it lead? Don't say I'll just kick you down!"

After all, he really pushed the boss down the window.

"I said, I said, go next door, and I'll occasionally have someone bring some very cheap gutter oil...... Business is not good...... Anyway, domestic counterparts use this oil, and they can't eat dead people......"

The boss obviously didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, he just thought that Pet Tiange was the one who came to investigate the food safety here of him, and said with a wrong mouth, thinking that it was just a fine, and he could afford it, so he said with a face full of indifference.

Pet Tiange was furious, flew up and kicked him directly.

After finishing the restaurant owner, he immediately turned back to the women's restroom, banging on the wall like crazy, and finally found an area near the exhaust fan opening. Pet Tiange slapped hard, and sure enough, the exhaust fan fell, and behind it was a dark passage that was large enough to pass through an adult.

He gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and went straight in.

Sure enough, on the other side of the passage was another 24-hour convenience store, and a clerk who was tally the goods was startled when he came out.

"Where's the people? Did anyone come out just now?"

Pet Tiange asked again in Chinese, and looking at the other party's blank expression, he angrily asked again in English.

"No, no, I only got my shift five minutes ago...... We are shift ......"

The clerk stammered and replied, and after speaking, he pointed to the checkout counter, "We have a work schedule, I don't believe you can look at ......"

Obviously, the other party was stuck in a small break between two sets of clerks to hand over the work, and secretly took people out of the city from here!

Pet Tiange calmed down, he took out his mobile phone, first dialed 911 to call the police, and then called Wu Chengjun, telling him that no matter where he was or what he was doing, he had to rush over immediately.

Wu Chengjun didn't know what was going on in Dao, but he had never heard of Tiange's tone before.

Cold, numb, bloody, as if something big had happened.

When he arrived according to the address on the phone, he learned that Ye Ying Ning had been kidnapped, and Wu Chengjun almost didn't faint.

"How can this be? How can this be? Haven't you been following her all the time? Why is it that people are just gone?"

He was extremely surprised and puzzled, and asked again and again.

At this time, the police had already arrived first, they were doing various surveys at the scene, and a female police officer was making detailed records for Pet Tiange, asking him to carefully recall the whole process after entering the restaurant, without letting go of any details.

The restaurant owner, the cleaning lady and the supermarket clerk were also subjected to rigorous questioning, but the police did not arrest them because there was no direct evidence that they were all involved in the disappearance.

"Missing? This is obviously a kidnapping! If you can't catch the murderer, then good, I'll look for it myself! Sure enough, the police from all over the world are all the way!"

Pet Tiange was furious, and almost scolded.

Wu Chengjun stopped him and personally negotiated with the police for a moment. After all, he grew up in the United States since he was a child, and he is relatively familiar with the situation here, and he is more calm than him at the moment.

"There are surveillance cameras at the main entrance and on the first and second floors of this restaurant, but there are no cameras installed in the restrooms due to the need to protect the privacy of guests. And according to the passage you just found, they won't enter the restaurant through the main entrance, which is more troublesome. ”
