Chapter 5 fourth quarter

Following the sound, I saw an old woman with a kind face turned out of the hall, walking towards me slowly. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is an old woman, because her hair has become completely silvery white, and it is attached to the scalp in an undisturbed manner. It is combed into a fist-sized bun at the back of the head. The overlapping wrinkles on her face add to her kindness.I think she must have been a graceful beauty when she was young, because her youthful appearance can still be vaguely shown on that wrinkled face. What surprised me was that this old lady was very well-dressed and very simple, unlike some rich old women who wear red and colorful clothes. If it weren't for the valuable necklace around her neck, I would have thought she was is a servant.

The girl named Xiaoyan finally poured a cup of fragrant Pu'er reluctantly, and put her bulging eyes in front of me.He turned around and went behind the old woman who had just sat down, looking down at me with his chin raised. The old woman smiled kindly: "I made Mr. Yi laugh, this child has never been sensible, don't take it for granted!" Her accent was obviously southern, but the pronunciation of each word was quite pure. "I have been away from the mainland for more than 50 years, and I have been living in seclusion. This is the first time I have come back. I did not expect that the mainland has changed so much." She continued with a smile.

I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Madam kidnapped me here, probably not just to tell me about these changes!" "I'm sorry, these children have spoiled my son. In fact, I just want them to invite Mr. Yi here secretly." "Secret, why do you want to ask secretly?" The old woman smiled kindly and said, "Can Mr. Yi see my identity?" "It's not necessary!" I said casually. "No!" the old woman corrected, "it's very necessary, otherwise you'll think I'm an old woman who doesn't know the slightest bit of manners."

Being told what was on her mind, I had no choice but to smile slightly. "My maiden name is Ma, and my husband's family name is Luo. We came here to visit you from Hong Kong!" She paused for a while, and looked at me with piercing eyes. Maybe she saw that I didn't have any special reaction. Continue to say, "I need Mr. Yi's help with one thing." I still didn't answer, just took another sip of tea and listened to her continue. "My son is lost, I want to ask Mr. Yi to help me find his whereabouts!" Although her eyes are still calm as usual, I can feel the unspeakable anxiety of a mother in these calm eyes and depression.

"Your son Guigeng?" I finally asked. "Forty-two years old this year." "If I'm not mistaken, his name should be Rock." When I said this, I saw a surprised expression on the face of the girl named Xiaoyan. The old woman blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Yi is really smart, yes, his name is Rock." After getting this positive answer, I was still taken aback.What I said just now was just a guess, because with the strength and arrogance shown by her servants, with the elegant demeanor exuded from her, with the hard-to-disguise Hong Kong accent she spoke with , and based on the information she gave, I concluded that the son she was looking for was Roque.

This is not surprising, Hong Kong is just a small place, although the business is developed there, rich people gather there, but if it mentions the rich real estate businessman Luo's family, anyone who pays a little attention to the news is unlikely to be unaware. The Luo family has been in business for generations. During the period of the Republic of China, they were well-known businessmen in the north. Due to the constant wars in the mainland and the rampant powers, the Luo family once quit the business world and emigrated overseas.It was only thirty years ago that he settled in Hong Kong again and returned to business.And the person who made this decision at that time was Mrs. Luo, whose maiden name was Ma.It was she who established the Luo family's unshakable position in the Hong Kong business community.

Of course, this Mrs. Luo, as she said, is a strange woman who doesn't like to show her face. Although Rock was only a teenager at that time, she often appeared in various media. At that time, the media called her a business prodigy .However, anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story knows that this Mrs. Luo, who has been widowed for many years, is the real head of Luo's industry. It was only after Luo Ke became an adult that this Mrs. Luo really retreated behind the scenes. It should be said that Roque has inherited the unique business talent of the Luo family. During the 20 years he has been in charge of the Luo family's business, the Luo Group has expanded several times and achieved astonishing achievements. A business wizard.A financial magazine called him a business leader comparable to Li Ka-shing.In the past ten years, the Luo family has never dropped out of the top 100 richest people in the world.

The disappearance of such a person is enough to cause an earthquake in the business circles of Hong Kong, China. No wonder this Mrs. Luo brought me here so secretly. However, where would such a world-renowned businessman, a figure who would become the focus of media attention wherever he went? "Ma'am, I might as well tell you bluntly. Forgive me for being helpless, because with the prestige and status of the Luo family, even you can't find out the whereabouts of your son, and I, a little 'detective', can't even do it!" I said sternly. "Mr. Yi, since you have already guessed my identity, you can naturally understand my difficulties. I only have such a son. He is my only one and the sole heir of our Luo family property. Missing, this will be a devastating blow to our Luo family, and it will also cause unforeseen shocks in the Hong Kong business community, so we can't start looking for it with great fanfare, we can only turn to experts like you for help! So, please help ! As for the remuneration, you can tell me." The old woman begged.

I shook my head: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this is an impossible task. The world is so big, it's very easy for a person to hide, how to find it? I like to speak straight, where do I say No, please bear with me! A rich man like him, anyone has a reason to attack him. I don't think it will be a day or two for him to disappear, otherwise you will not find me, since there is no news yet , the result may have been very bad. I suggest that you still request the police to open a case for investigation. " A look of pain flashed across the old woman's face, and then she became extremely resolute: "No, he won't die, he just went somewhere and wants to stay for a while."

"Then, was there anything special about him before he disappeared?" "No!" She immediately replied firmly, "That happened two months ago. He drove to the company to work in the morning. Everything was normal, but he never came back at night." "Have any particular signs been left?" "No." The old woman replied firmly. I sighed, and my voice softened: "Ma'am, I can understand your feelings, but I have to say, I really can't do anything. I'm sorry!" After speaking, I stood up and walked outside. "Mr. Yi!" The old woman stopped me and said calmly, "Please don't tell anyone about this."

"I will, please rest assured."
