To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 488 Ask for help

  The young man in front of him looked serious, making it difficult to approach.

  Miss Wang Er looked at him, tears streaming down suddenly.

  Lin Teng was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Luo Sheng.

   Zhao Shangshu, who was an invisible man, was also stunned.

  A little lady was crying to Lin Teng, what did Lin Teng see Miss Luo doing?

  Lin Teng also realized that this was inappropriate, and looked back at the second girl Wang: "What's the matter, girl, did you encounter difficulties?"

  The second girl Wang felt even more uncomfortable when she heard the words, covering her face and sobbing silently.

   Zhao Shangshu took a deep look at Lin Teng.

   Could it be that I was wrong, the fact that this girl found Lin Teng has nothing to do with the affairs of the yamen, but—

   Tsk tsk, no, he knows Lin Teng, a lump of elm wood, it is impossible to cause any romantic affairs.

  Suddenly thinking of the look Lin Teng gave Miss Luo just now, Zhao Shangshu felt a little unsure for a moment.

  Hearing the sound coming from the door of the restaurant, Luo Sheng said: "The private room upstairs is still empty. If Miss Wang Er has something to say to Master Lin, why don't you go upstairs."

  She has a good impression of the two girls of the Wang family, and if she encounters difficulties, she can help as much as possible.

  Miss Wang Er wiped her tears, and thanked Luo Sheng with sobs: "Thank you, Miss Luo."

  Under Luo Sheng's signal, Ko'er led the second girl Wang up the stairs.

  Lin Teng hesitated slightly, then raised his foot to follow silently.

   Zhao Shangshu remained motionless, felt Luo Sheng's gaze, and asked with a smile, "Miss Luo, why don't you follow me?"

   "It may be inconvenient for me to listen to Miss Wang's conversation with Mr. Lin."

   "That's right, maybe it's business."

  Luo Sheng's mouth twitched slightly: "Then why don't you go?"

   Zhao Shangshu picked up the wine glass and drank it, stroked his beard: "It's not me who investigates the case, what's the use of me going, why not drink and eat meat."

  So righteous and confident, Luo Sheng almost couldn't help rolling his eyes.

  Afterwards, the drinkers came in one after another, and no one mentioned anything about Miss Wang.

  Ke'er led Lin Teng and Miss Wang into the elegant room, and slightly bent her knees: "Call me if you two have anything to do, and I'll wait outside."

  Miss Wang Er hesitated for a while, and called Kouer to stop: "Please stay here."

  Since she chose to find Master Lin here, she is not afraid of being known by Miss Luo.

  She believed that Miss Luo would not spread the word.

  Kuer readily agreed upon hearing this.

   Who doesn't have a curiosity yet.

   "Second Miss Wang, please speak." Lin Teng tried to slow down his tone so as not to put pressure on the other party.

  Based on his experience and intuition, he guessed that the reason why the second girl Wang came to him might be related to the case he was busy with recently.

   But he hoped he guessed wrong.

  Thinking of the recent cases that kept him busy, Lin Teng sighed in his heart.

  Miss Wang Er looked at Lin Teng, tears streaming down again, and tremblingly said: "Master Lin, my sister is gone!"

  Lin Teng felt so sure, and looked at Second Miss Wang with sympathy in his eyes: "Can you tell me more about Miss Wang? When and where did Miss Ling disappear?"

The second girl Wang nodded and said with her hands on the table: "My sister disappeared two days ago. Two days ago, my grandmother took our sisters to Dafu Temple to offer incense. On the way back, I passed the embroidery workshop. My sister said to buy some embroidery thread." Unexpectedly, my sister went away for a long time, only the maid who accompanied her ran back, saying that she could not find her..."

  After listening carefully, Lin Teng asked, "Why didn't Second Miss Wang go with Miss Wang?"

  Girls seem to like to be together when they go to places like makeup shops and tailors.

   Afraid that the Second Miss Wang was overwhelmed, Lin Teng explained: "I will ask more carefully when investigating the case, not to doubt the meaning of the Second Miss Wang."

   "I understand." The second girl Wang nodded, "At that time, my sister said that she had already thought about what embroidery thread to buy, and she would come back as soon as she went, and let me accompany grandma."

   With their grandmother around, they naturally couldn't go shopping as they wished, and that's why they listened to their sister's advice and didn't go together.

  When Miss Wang Er thought of this, she regretted it countless times.

   "The servant girl came back and said that my sister was gone. We searched the neighborhood many times, but we couldn't find it—" Second Miss Wang choked up, and raised her sleeve to wipe her tears.

   "Since that's the case, why did Miss Wang Er come to report the crime today?"

The second girl Wang looked at Lin Teng and smiled bitterly: "My family won't let me. My family has been having a difficult time since my grandfather was dismissed from office. The elders in the family think that if my sister's matter gets to the government, the Wang family who has finally calmed down may have to die again. Standing on the cusp of the storm will give someone with a heart a chance to trouble the Wang family..."

  The wall is down and everyone pushes it. The Wang family has a deep understanding these days. The Wang family, who has become a commoner, does not want to deal with the government anymore.

   This is what my grandmother said, she can understand it, but she can't accept it.

   That's her sister!

  Originally, my grandfather had planned to move the whole family out of the capital and return to their hometown when the weather warmed up.

  She and her sister are looking forward to it.

  Thinking of this, the second girl Wang burst into tears.

  Lin Teng has long been used to similar situations, silently waiting for Miss Wang to cry enough.

  Kuer couldn't help persuading: "Miss Wang, you can't just cry, let's get down to business."

   Miss Wang's cry stopped, and she bowed to Lin Teng: "The family is not allowed to report to the official. I came to find Mr. Lin secretly, please help me find my sister..."

  Lin Teng was silent for a moment, and said, "I will try my best."

   "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

   "Did Miss Wang come here alone?"

   "There is a maid waiting outside."

   "Then Miss Wang, go back earlier, and try not to go out in the evening." Lin Teng urged.

  The second girl Wang nodded indiscriminately, and begged: "Then please leave to Master Lin, if Master Lin has any news about his sister, he must tell me."

  Lin Teng nodded, glanced at Koer and said, "Since your government doesn't want to deal with the government, if I have any news, I will send it to the restaurant."

   Miss Wang Er thanked you again, and followed Koer out.

  Lin Teng sat for a while before going out.

   There were already several tables of people sitting in the lobby, but Miss Wang Er was nowhere to be seen.

   Zhao Shangshu greeted: "Lin Teng, come and eat."

  Lin Teng walked over and sat down, and ate in silence.

   Zhao Shangshu was 80% full after eating, holding hot tea and sighing in his heart.

   "My lord, I'm done eating." Lin Teng almost finished eating, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "I want to go back to the Yamen and look through the case files."

   "Didn't I say, don't rush this moment, people always have to eat and sleep."

  Lin Teng lowered his eyes, and said lightly: "The subordinates are not in a hurry, but many people are in a hurry."

   Zhao Shangshu was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Go back, go back."

  Lin Teng cupped his hands, got up and walked towards the counter.

   Zhao Shangshu:?

  Lin Teng walked up to Luo Sheng and asked softly, "Is it convenient for Miss Luo to say a few words?"

  Luo Sheng already had a brief understanding of Miss Wang's affairs from Kou'er, and nodded upon hearing that, "I'll send Mr. Lin out."

  Seeing that the two went out together, Zhao Shangshu:? ?
