Return of the Daughter: The Earl's Astronomically Valuable Wife

Chapter 148 The Consequences of Curiosity ([-])

Early next morning!

Lan En frowned when he heard Robert's report, looked back at his lover who was sleeping on the bed, walked out of the room and closed the door, then looked at Robert and asked, "Have you looked for everything?" Go, why did the person who was fine last night suddenly disappear?

"I've already looked for you, sir! I haven't found Miss Jiang." Robert's face was full of worry. He came over this morning and wanted to see Miss Jiang, but when he arrived at her door, he found her door was open. She couldn't sleep because of her foot injury. She knocked on the door, but got no response. She went in and took a look on her own initiative, only to find that there was no one inside. Thinking that Miss Jiang had an injury on her foot, she shouldn't have walked too far , I searched all over the house, and later even searched the front and rear gardens, but still did not find anyone, so he had to pay attention to it and inform the Earl.

While speaking, Lan En had already come outside Jiang Lingling's room, opened the door and took a look, but there was no one in the room, his sharp eyes swept over the bed, he looked back at Robert and said, "Send someone to look for it, even if the whole island is given to you." I'll turn over and find him too."

A bad feeling rose in his heart. Although Jiang Lingling was lively and mischievous, she was not ignorant of propriety, and that girl was very trustworthy. Since she promised the kitten to stay in the room obediently yesterday, she would never run around. .

"My lord, I have sent someone to look for it." Robert said, when he came to report to the Earl, he also asked the servants on the island to look for it.

As soon as Nan Jun came, he saw Lan En and Robert standing outside Jiang Lingling's room with serious faces, and his heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, Lan En? What's the matter, Lingling?" Entering the room, but found that there was no one in the room, my heart skipped a beat, and I looked back at the two of them, "Where's Lingling?"

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" As soon as Nan Jun's words fell, Nan's mother's voice rang out. Nan's mother, who was also here to see how Jiang Lingling was doing, brought Nan Shu over and saw Lan En They all gathered outside Jiang Lingling's room and couldn't help asking.

Lan En calmed down all his emotions, and nodded to Nan's mother and Nan Shu with a gentle expression. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Nan Jun's emergency step.

"Lan En, where is Lingling going if she isn't in the room?" Nan Jun naturally saw all the changes in Lan En's expression, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he asked anxiously. The guy might have an accident, so his heart tightened tightly.

"What's the matter? Isn't Lingling in the room?" Nan's mother was also taken aback, and hurried into the room to check, but she didn't see anyone. She turned her head and looked at the solemn faces and said, "Is Lingling unable to go out in the room?" ?”

"I'll go find her!" Nan Jun secretly clenched his fists, finished speaking solemnly, turned around and went downstairs to find someone.

Seeing this, Nan's mother also said, "Xiaoshu, let's go and help find it."

"En!" Lin Yue nodded with her usual expression, turned around and left with Nan's mother. Before leaving, she turned her head and looked at Lan En with an unclear expression, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly in joy, and then she walked away quickly.

Robert watched the Nan family leave, looked at the adults around him and said, "Master, do you want to tell Madam?"

"The kitten is still resting, don't bother her for the time being, and send everyone out to look for it." Lan En looked back at the direction of their room, thinking that the kitten's body burden was getting bigger and bigger, and shook his head decisively. It's best to find people before.

Robert nodded understandingly, and saluted respectfully: "My lord, I will also help find Miss Jiang."

Lan En nodded. After Mudong Robert left, he turned his head and took a look inside the room, then turned and walked towards his and Ruan Xin's room, entered the door and looked at his lover who was sleeping on the bed, his tense expression eased a little. He walked lightly to the side of the bed and lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead, then changed clothes as lightly as possible, turned around and walked out of the room to the study, turned on the computer on the desk, and adjusted the surveillance outside the house.

There are many cameras installed on the island, but he did not install them in the house for privacy.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

Just when Lan En was seriously checking the surveillance, there was a knock on the door of the study. Lan looked up and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Jerry Cook walked into the study in response, looked at Lan En who was sitting behind the desk, frowning and looking at the computer screen, his eyes flickered slightly, walked over and said: "Lan En, I heard that Miss Jiang is missing Alright, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lan En looked up at his cousin, and his eyes fell on the computer screen in front of him again. The six split screens on the top showed pictures of non-stop places on the island. From when they fell asleep last night to this morning, no one left the building. House, raised his hand to pinch the brows that were a little sore from staring at the screen, exhaled and said, "Did my cousin hear anything last night?" After speaking, he couldn't help sighing.

Because this place is on an island, in order to allow the people living here to sleep peacefully, each room is specially sound-proofed. As long as the doors and windows are closed, you can hardly hear the outside sound. He also knew that what he just said was a waste of a question.

Jerry looked at Lan En with a troubled face, an unknown light flashed quickly in his eyes, he shook his head solemnly and said, "I heard nothing, Lan En, have you confirmed that apart from Miss Jiang, Is anyone else missing? If everyone is there, then Miss Jiang is probably still on the island, as long as you look carefully, you should find her soon."

Lan En also watched the surveillance video from last night to the present, but found nothing. After hearing Jerry's words, Lan En stood up and nodded, "You're right, let's go! Let's go check it out too. "As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked out.

Jerry was a step behind Lan En, walking behind him, a sly smile quickly flashed across his face, and soon his face returned to calm, let's find it!Even if you turn over the whole island, you won't find it.

Walking out of the study, Jerry took out the phone and dialed a number. When the other party picked up, he immediately said, "You can start." After speaking, he hung up the phone, his eyes gleaming with cunning and determination.

Ruan Xin was slightly taken aback when she woke up and didn't see Lan En in the room, but she didn't care too much. She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the window with her stomach on her stomach and opened the heavy curtains. The sudden light made her subconsciously wake up. Eyes, it took a while to get used to it before opening, opened the balcony window and walked to the balcony, looking at the blue sky and sea, feeling very relaxed, stretched a little, touched the stomach and the two sides in the stomach A little baby said hello, "Good morning, babies." Then he turned and went into the room, washed up briefly, changed his clothes, and then opened the door and went downstairs.

When she reached the living room, she realized that the house was very quiet. Not only did she not see Lan En and the others, but there was not even a single servant. She couldn't help feeling suspicious, and muttered, "What happened?" Seeing Lan En and Jerry standing in the garden talking, they walked over and asked, "Husband, cousin Jerry, what are you talking about? Why is everyone not here? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lan En immediately turned around. Seeing his lover walking towards them, he immediately restrained his expression, went up to him and held him up, "Why did you wake up? Are you hungry?"

Ruan Xin shook her head, "I'm not hungry." After speaking, she glanced at Jerry, then turned her gaze back to the man in front of her, saw the seriousness in his brows, and asked again, "What's wrong, my husband, did something happen? What's wrong?"

Lan En hugged her waist sideways, sighed slightly, looked at her and said, "Little cat, promise me not to get excited after listening to it?"

Seeing his serious expression for a moment, Ruan Xin thumped in her heart, feeling a bad premonition, she couldn't help but glanced at Jerry, seeing that his expression was the same, she looked back at Lan En, "Husband, What happened?
"Lingling is gone." Lan En said directly without concealment. Thinking that they had been searching for an hour and hadn't found anyone yet, the look on his face became more serious. He had confirmed before that there was no one on the island. Leaving, there are a lot of vehicles on the island, and he didn't see anything leaving the island in the surveillance, but now he can't find anyone.

"What?" Ruan Xin's eyes widened in surprise for a moment, and she couldn't believe what she heard?
"Robert found out that Lingling was not in the room this morning. I searched everywhere but still couldn't find anyone. I have asked everyone on the island to go out for an hour, but I still couldn't find Lingling." Lan En explained the situation with his brows furrowed. It's because he loves his lover that he can't have a good rest so he doesn't want to disturb her. Now that he is awake, he doesn't intend to continue to hide it.

Ruan Xin was suddenly agitated, grabbed Lan En's arm, and said anxiously; "How could this happen? Lingling promised me that I would not run around again, she can't go out, she..." The more she said, the more restless she felt. , No, nothing will happen to Lingling, thinking about it, she immediately shook her head, "No, nothing will happen to Lingling, she must have gone out for fun, it must be like this, husband, let's find it together, it will definitely happen I found her." As she said that, she turned around and pulled Lan En and walked out, but just as she took a step, she felt a throbbing pain in her stomach, which made her turn pale, clutching her stomach and moaning in pain ,"Well!"

"Little cat! What's the matter with you?" Lan En was startled when he heard his lover's muffled moan in pain. Tightening up, he hugged the person, and said to Jerry on the side: "Call me back immediately, quick!" After talking, he quickly returned to the house with the person in his arms, and kept saying, "Kitten, it's okay, The doctor will be here soon to check on the kitten."

Jerry looked at the backs of the two of them, and the corners of his mouth curled into a strange arc. He still took out his phone and called Robert, "Robert, tell the doctor to be back soon. Something happened to the lady." With a serious expression on his face, he also walked into the house.
