Chapter14 The Prototype of Holmes
In the VIP ward of St. Mary’s Private Hospital, an important patient was lost. The entire hospital went crazy at this, and almost half of the medical staff were on the street looking for Xia Xiaoluo, a patient who was sent by the major shareholder.
Ling Tianyi and the deputy mayor had had lunch and chatted for a while, reaching an agreement of intention. He originally wanted to invite the deputy mayor to play golf but he received a call from the Director of the hospital.
Ling Tianyi’s heart was going to burst, for he never thought that the little woman was so bold that she didn’t take his words seriously. He must immediately catch the disobedient chit and teach her a lesson.
He arranged the company’s vice president Zhao Kaide and his trusted assistant Chu Wei to accompany the deputy mayor and his party. After a few words, Ling Tianyi left Jinqiao Business Center.
Then he came to the hospital and replayed all the surveillance videos. Seeing the way she left the ward, he couldn’t help but breaking into a cold sweat and clenching his fist, “You don’t want to live, petite devil? Dare to cross over the window of the 12th floor, you do have the guts.”
Noticing Ling’s face was getting more and more surly, the Director also got more nervous, “President Ling, I’m so sorry. Something bad happened. We should take the responsibility. But we’ve sent many people to look for Miss Xia. I believe she will be found soon.”
“You’re good for nothing.” Ling Tianyi did not expect these doctors to provide any help, and it’s useless for him to stay in the hospital—the little woman will never come back on her own.
He drove his luxury car searching back and forth in a few streets nearby, but there were no findings.
Ling Tianyi parked the car at the gate of Hously Hotel. In the elevator, while pressing the button for the 29th floor, he dialed a number. A lazy voice came from the phone, “Oh my Master Ling, why don’t you let me take a nap?”
“Take a damn nap. “Listen! Find a person for me at once. I’ll send her information to you in less than five minutes.” With a serious voice, Ling Tianyi would not accept any disagreement.
“Hey, you’re a cold fish. Don’t you know there’s a famous saying ‘No noon nap, no afternoon’?” The lazy voice was from Ling Tianyi’s childhood friend Yao Sheng, who was kicked out of a police academy. Then, he opened a detective agency, but he never stick to the business, for his family was somewhat rich.
“I’ll give up my rest time to find the person for you, but how much reward can I get?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay me. Just give me your ‘Lightning’. I really like that BMW and always think about it.”
Ling Tianyi simply ignored Yao’s nagging, “No more bullshit. Find the person for me first. Or, you’re dead.”
“Please. You’re the big president making money fast every day. You can’t squeeze me. I’m just a poor man, opened a small detective agency. Business is business. If there is no benefit, even a fool will not work for you! Err… Hey, ‘Lightning’ is actually my destiny. I fell in love with it at first sight…” Yao Sheng implored shamelessly just for getting ‘Lightning’.
Ling Tianyi has already stepped out of the elevator at that time. He took out Xia Xiaoluo’s employee register form that he got at Yin Meng Western-style Restaurant last night and handed it to the secretary, “Scan this sheet and send it to me. I need to forward it immediately.”
“Ahoy! I haven’t decided to help you find the person. Don’t send me the mail. I don’t do business for losing money.” Hearing what Ling Tianyi told his secretary, Yao Sheng went mad.
“No buts. Well, okay! ‘Lightning’ is yours. But if you can’t find the person…” Before he finished his words, Yao Sheng interrupted him, “No ifs. I’m the prototype of Holmes. All you need to do is enjoying your coffee and waiting for my good news.”
