Chapter 252: Couldn’t Find It
When he arrived at the procuratorate, he directly loaded the local route map and then scanned the area up and down.
He went through the video record of the CCTV on that day to see if he could find the person who got the laptop.
Unfortunately, the nearby CCTVs at the place Lei Qingyi lost his laptop were broken and there were very few people who passed by. He asked the street cleaners one by one but he gained nothing.
Lu Yi had no choice but to announce in the papers that he would give a high reward that was treble of the price of the laptop. The person who found it would definitely want the money but not the laptop.
They looked for it for nearly five days but still had no idea of its whereabouts.
The laptop that Lei Qingyi lost was very important. If something happened with the documents inside, it would get Lei Qingyi into trouble and drive him into a fatal position.
There was a tracker system in the laptop, they could track the location immediately once the laptop turned on. But the problem was the laptop had never been turned on since he lost it and thus, it was like finding a needle in a haystack, they had tried every means but still had no idea of the whereabouts of the laptop.
Lei Qingyi was very worried and getting thinner in a few days’ time. He had lost a lot of his weight and he was listless. It’d be a wonder if he was energetic as he still couldn’t find his laptop. He kept staring at the screen of his computer. He would know immediately once someone turned on the laptop and he would beat the person to death at the time.
He never thought the person who picked up his laptop had a kind-heart and would return it to him. But that person should return it to him since he had already offered ample rewards.
Half a month had passed at this moment, they had no news of the laptop yet. Meanwhile, the reward of finding the laptop had risen to tenfold of the price of it.
There were a lot of people coming over with a laptop to get the reward, but none of the laptops, whether truly found or made up, belonged to Lei Qingyi.
Of course, neither Yi Ling nor Yan Huan knew about this matter. First, they didn’t read the newspapers; second, they only watched the entertainment programmed even if they watched TV.
Yan Huan had to learn the simplest military knowledge from a veteran every day. She needed to learn their words and deeds and the way of speaking so that she could give a vivid portrayal of the character. To say nothing of the matter, she didn’t even bring her phone with her. Yi Ling and she had completely forgotten about the laptop.
At the moment, a fat cat was lying on the black bag. She stretched lazily and continued sleeping. She was shedding recently and the bag was covered with her hair. But she didn’t care at it, anyway, she wouldn’t dislike her own hair.
Lu Yi was back at nearly eleven o’clock in the evening, a patter of footsteps could be heard behind him when he entered the elevator. He reached out and pressed the button, the elevator stopped and someone walked into it, a breeze blowing in his face and he felt an unutterable chill.
Yan Huan turned around and she was stunned for a moment, “Lu Yi?” She sounded his name out.
“M-hm.” Lu Yi opened his eyes. Perhaps he lacked sleep from a long time so his eyes were bloodshot.
At the moment, his stomach was rumbling but he looked calm without feeling embarrassed.
Of course, Yan Huan couldn’t have laughed at him.
“Why are you coming back so late?” Lu Yi bestirred himself. He was not only busy about the work of procuratorate but also needed to help Lei Qingyi to find his laptop. Actually, he didn’t sleep for two successive nights, it wasn’t easy to hold on until now.
“I had something to do recently.” Yan Huan looked at the red light flashing from time to time, from the third floor to the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and to the thirteenth floor, then the elevator stopped.
Yan Huan called Lu Yi when he was ready to go out.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Yi turned around, “Are you getting into trouble again?” He didn’t blame her but he just spoke in a calm tone. He promised that he would help her out and it wouldn’t change as long as he was alive.
Yan Huan opened her mouth and hesitated to speak.
“Errr, do you want to come to my place for dinner?” She knew that the man didn’t eat his meals at regular intervals day and night. It seemed that he didn’t eat a meal all day.
She had a hard time trying to find her backing. It was just a few days that she clung to his thigh and she couldn’t lose him.
Lu Yi stopped walking, he turned around and walked into the elevator again.
Yan Huan thought what else was in the house. She had bought some food in the morning. Though there wasn’t much food, she could still make several dishes. Or else, she would cook two bowls of noodles with tomato and egg for him.
She was not very hungry.
She didn’t ask him about his routine work, after all, in certain respects of Lu Yi’s job, it was better not to know about it.
He is not a mysterious person but his job must be treated with the full rigour. Moreover, he is simple and reticent, so who else can do it?
She opened the door and let Lu Yi into her house. Lu Yi was barefoot as she didn’t have any man’s slippers. However, she had made some money recently and thus, she bought a rug and spread it on the floor. She liked to step on it barefoot actually.
“Meow….” Little Bean felt especially warm when she saw Lu Yi. The bandage on her front leg had been removed. Though she still walked with a limp that was no problem as she was able to jump up and down.
Lu Yi held Little Bean in his arms and sat on the sofa, Yan Huan poured a glass of water and set it in front of him.
“Drink water first and I’ll go make food. Shall we have noodles with tomato and egg?” She wanted to know what he thought.
But her heartstrings tugged gently once she said the word we, but then she didn’t think much about it.
“Okay.” Lu Yi nodded, he was not a picky eater, so long as he could eat his fill.
Yan Huan headed into the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator and took out the noodles that she rolled out. The noodles were chewy as she added some eggs inside.
She usually made more as Yi Ling loved to eat.
Yi Ling heard the sound of the door opened, Ah, Yan Huan is back. She was hungry and quickly got out of bed, she opened her door and asked Yan Huan to make her some food. But her eyes twitched when she saw the man who was sitting on the sofa.
Mr. Backing, why is he here again?
