Very Pure and Ambiguous The Prequel

Looking around, I found how good the room was. It was at the best spot for natural lighting. It was heated in the winter and the windows could be opened in the summer. It was apparent that Meng QingQing and Liu Yue had been taking care of Yang Mei, even specially arranging an office like this for her!

“Do you have the key for the drawer?” I looked at the locked drawer. Though it could be opened with force; if there was a key that would be better!

“Key? Right, QingQing, do you have the key to Yang Mei’s drawer?” Liu Yue turned her head towards Meng QingQing and asked.

“I don’t have it with me, when she left she handed it over to Xiao Wang,” Meng QingQing thought for a bit and said.

“Alright, I will call Xiao Wang and ask him immediately!” Liu Yue looked at the time. It was around 7 AM, around the time that employees started working. He was probably on her way to the company.

“I will call him!” Meng QingQing took out her phone and directly called.

“Xiao Wang? I am QingQing…… right. I wanted to know if you have the keys for Yang Mei’s desk? …… Oh, alright. I will be waiting for you!” Meng QingQing hung up the phone then said to us, “Xiao Wang is on his way to the company. He will be here soon, the keys are in her desk!”

I nodded. It wasn’t a big deal waiting for a little while. Using force was the last resort.

While waiting for Xiao Wang’s arrival, I turned on Yang Mei’s computer and wanted to see if there were any clues inside it. But what a pity, the majority of the data had been deleted, all that remained was some company data.

Just when I had nothing more to do, my phone rang! I quickly picked it up and saw that it was Lu Haotao! Without waiting, I pressed the answer button, “Hello, Old Lu, have you found any clues?”

“Chief Liu, I asked the nearby neighbors and they said that they hadn’t seen Yang Mei’s family for a week now. They thought that they might have gone out traveling somewhere, so they didn’t give the matter much thought. Afterward, I found the property dealer of the area and inquired about the matter of Yang Mei’s family and he said that the property had already changed hands! The house had already been sold to someone else!” Lu Haotao said.

“What? Sold the house?” I was startled and yelled out, “Why would they sell their house!”

“That is something I am not clear about. The property dealer didn’t know either!” Lu Haotao said.

“Then, go and see if you can get in contact with the people who bought the house. Contact them and see if they have any contact information for Yang Mei’s family. Since they have bought the house, it is likely that they have some contact information!” I said to him after thinking.

“I know that and I already sent people to look for the new house owner but there hasn’t been any news yet!” Lu Haotao replied.

“Great. Make sure to get it done as soon as possible. Contact me the moment you get any news!” I sighed helplessly! Ah! Yang Mei, just what do you want to do? Do you really want to hide from me, or there is something else that happened?

It hadn’t been long that a 30-year-old young fellow walked into the office, he was Xiao Wang. The moment he saw me, he was obviously stunned but immediately got his composure back, “Chairman, Chief Liu, Chief Meng, it is nice to see you. Hehe, please pardon me for arriving late!”

I waved my hand and said, “You just arrived to work normally. Instead of you arriving late, it is us who arrived early!”

“Hehe,” Xiao Wang smiled and didn’t continue speaking about any unrelated things or try to flatter. Instead, he came to the point, “Chief Meng, were you looking for me?”

“Yes. The keys Yang Mei handed over to you, give them to me. The chairman is looking for something!” Meng QingQing said with a nod.

“Ah, alright,” Xiao Wang didn’t ask anything after listening, nor was there any strange look on his face. He quickly went to his own desk and brought a bunch of keys, handing them over to Meng QingQing, “These are all the keys!”

“Alright, you can return to work now!” Meng QingQing said.

“Understood. If there is anything you need from me, please call me directly!” Saying this, Xiao Wang went back to his own desk and started working.

This Xiao Wang was pretty good, he was a talented man! There weren’ many words from him and he did what he needed to. Moreover, his actions aren’t artificial and he knows discretion. He will make a great talent! If given enough time, he will be able to become a high-ranking official!

Meng QingQing unlocked all of Yang Mei’s drawers and cabinets, helping Liu Yue and me in the search.

Xiao Wang definitely knew the relationship between me and Yang Mei, so he didn’t take the initiative to come and help since he didn’t know what I was looking for. He was afraid that if I was looking for a personal belonging, it won’t be good for him to butt in. That’s why he asked to be called when needed. These actions of his explained that he was a very skilled and mature man. I will have Liu Yue bend the rules and promote him later.

The stuff inside Yang Mei’s drawer was very disorderly. It was as I had thought, she left the place in a hurry. There were makeup and stuff scattered around in the drawers, some small ornaments hadn’t been taken away either. Taking a closer look, it was the drawer she used to store things needed for dressing up and nothing special.

Opening the second drawer, and what came in view at first were sanitation pads. Even if I was a seasoned warrior, I couldn’t help but feel awkward. After all, Yang Mei still wasn’t my girlfriend. Meng QingQing quickly put the pads aside and opened the drawer completely. This drawer was even more messed up with stuff like coffee, green tea, tea packings, and some commonly used medicine.

Although the things in the third drawer didn’t seem important, I paid full attention to them! All the items inside were things like shopping receipts, invoices, and the like. Although these things didn’t explain anything, they might be able to indirectly tell Yang Mei’s whereabouts!

I pulled out the entire drawer and put all the contents of the drawer on the table. The three of us started to turn the recent receipts and look for clues.

There were all kinds of stuff in the receipts, from perfumes and makeup to clothes and jeans.

“These receipts don’t seem to be useful anymore!” Liu Yue looked at the papers inside her hand and shook her head.

“Forget it, it seems that there really isn’t anything useful!” I also shook my head. These receipts were not looking useful in any way!

“I also think the same!” Meng QingQing put down the receipt in her hand and said, “This Yang Mei is really interesting, she even kept a hospital registration receipt till now.”

“Registration receipt?” I suddenly felt my heart skip and asked hastily, “What receipt, let me have a look!”

“There’s nothing to look on it though!” Meng QingQing said as she picked up the receipt she just put down and handed it over to me.

I received the receipt and looked. The date above was from half a month ago, but there was nothing about who the person registered was. Could it be that someone from Yang Mei’s family was ill? Could it be that she……

Thinking till here, a very bad thought surfaced in my mind!

I exhorted Liu Yue and Meng QingQing to keep on looking for any other clues and hurried over to B City XX Hospital that was plainly written on the slip!

When I arrived at the hospital, since it was early morning, there weren’t a lot of people queued up in the line. I easily arrived at the registration window.
