Chapter 13: The Kind Citizen Miss Jiang
After Liu Fang left, Jiang Yuan hooked Fu Xiaoxiao’s shoulder and clicked open the video sent by Li Ailan to watch it with her.
Gu Lingling first panned around the villa, and the design in the courtyard was indeed the same as the villa they were currently living in.
Then the camera flipped, focusing on her face.
On the screen, the girl said sweetly, “Mom, this is Villa No. 6. It looks so fun. When you’re on holiday, I’ll bring you here to play…”
After the video ended, Fu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh, “I really hope she’s okay.”
Jiang Yuan found Si Heng’s number in her call history and edited a message to send to him.
“Did you send it?” Fu Xiaoxiao asked.
Jiang Yuan nodded, “I sent it.”
Fu Xiaoxiao got up from the sofa, “Then let’s go change and soak in the hot springs.”
Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao changed into their swimsuits and soaked in the flower-shaped hot spring pool, with a cat and a dog lying lazily beside them.
“Yuan Yuan, make them do somersaults.” Fu Xiaoxiao was still fixated on this.
Jiang Yuan couldn’t do anything about her, so she could only ask Little Tree and Tangyuan, “Can you do somersaults?”
Little Tree and Tangyuan simultaneously raised their heads from the ground and shook them.
Fu Xiaoxiao: “Then do you have any talents?”
Little Tree: “I can sing.”
Tangyuan: “I can dance.”
Jiang Yuan translated, “They can sing and dance.”
Fu Xiaoxiao said enthusiastically, “Come on, show us!”
However, as soon as Little Tree and Tangyuan began their performance, Fu Xiaoxiao regretted it.
She simply couldn’t appreciate it.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan’s phone rang.
She glanced at the number on the screen, “It’s Captain Si.”
Little Tree was still meowing passionately. Jiang Yuan said softly, “Okay Little Tree, no more singing. I need to take a call.”
Little Tree obediently quieted down.
Jiang Yuan answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone, “Hello, Captain Si.”
A deep male voice came from the phone, “Miss Jiang, I’ve checked. Li Ailan reported her daughter missing on December 30th, but the investigation shows that Gu Lingling did not go to the Yunshan Hot Spring Villa Area.”
“According to information provided by the villa manager, the occupants of Villa No. 6 from December 29th to January 1st were two men.”
Jiang Yuan frowned, “Are you sure it was two men?”
Si Heng: “That’s what the investigation results show.”
“Understood, thank you, Captain Si.”
“Do you know him?”
“No, I don’t.” Jiang Yuan explained, “My friend and I happened to be staying at Villa No. 6 and encountered Li Ailan when she came over.”
Si Heng chuckled, “Understood, the helpful citizen, Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
“Then I won’t disturb you further.” She hung up the phone.
Fu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “Captain Si’s voice is really nice.”
“I think it’s average.” Jiang Yuan put down her phone, looking at the gradually darkening sky, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Jiang Yuan sighed.
“What’s wrong?” Fu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her.
Jiang Yuan closed her eyes and said with distress, “Perhaps this matter cannot be left as it is.”
“You mean Lingling?”
“Yes.”
“Then what should we do?”
“Little Tree, come here.” Jiang Yuan called out.
Little Tree trotted over and meowed, “Sister Yuan Yuan.”
Jiang Yuan opened her eyes and turned her head to look at those round cat eyes, “After your Loli sister got sick, did she say anything else?”
Little Tree answered obediently, “Loli sister said the guests at Villa No. 6 were scary and she was always woken up by noises in the middle of the night.”
“Did she only say that?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yuan looked thoughtful.
After a while, she asked Fu Xiaoxiao to call the villa manager and specifically ask for the kitten named Loli.
Fu Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, looking regretful, “Loli is being treated at the pet hospital and can’t come.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, “It’s okay, there should be another way.”
At six in the evening, Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao got out of the hot spring pool, preparing to go to Villa No. 8 for dinner.
By the time the two finished showering and went out, it was completely dark, and the breath they exhaled condensed into frost on their eyelashes.
Villa No. 8 was brightly lit, and as soon as they entered, they could smell the aroma of various foods.
Various ingredients were neatly displayed on the wall cabinets, and people of all ages came and went, carrying their plates and selecting their favorite foods.
Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao did the same.
During the meal, many men leaned over to strike up conversations.
“Madam, your looks fit my ideal partner criteria perfectly.” A man with small eyes and a big nose intentionally showed his BMW car key, “Shall we get acquainted?”
Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, “Excuse me, I’m allergic to ugly people.”
“…”
Fu Xiaoxiao commented, “Yuan Yuan, you are so polite yet so cruel.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow fell over their heads.
Fu Xiaoxiao looked up, her eyes full of disdain.
A bald man, with a strange sense of confidence, said, “Beauty, let’s add each other on WeChat. You look a lot like my next girlfriend.”
Fu Xiaoxiao replied, “You look a lot like a bald man I once killed.”
“…”
Jiang Yuan curved her lips, “Cruel, but I like it.”
Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled.
After eating their fill, the two returned to Villa No. 6 with dinner for Little Tree and Tangyuan.
The cat and the dog wagged their tails vigorously.
It was time to eat!
“Yuan Yuan, should we sleep on the first floor or the second floor tonight?” Fu Xiaoxiao rubbed the cat’s and dog’s heads, lying lazily on the sofa.
Jiang Yuan had germaphobia, “Let’s see which room is cleaner first.”
After comparing the rooms on the first and second floors, they decided to stay on the second floor. It was spacious and airy, and the room had an independent toilet.
“There’s also a media room here.” Fu Xiaoxiao was very satisfied and snapped her fingers, “I’ll have someone send over some snacks and snacks, and we can watch a movie while eating.”
Jiang Yuan held the remote control, selecting a movie, “Xiaoxiao, what kind of movie do you want to watch?”
“Something a bit scary and stimulating?” Fu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow at her.
Jiang Yuan smiled, “I’m afraid you won’t dare to go to the toilet alone after watching it.”
“It’s okay, I’ll ask Tangyuan and Little Tree to accompany me.” Fu Xiaoxiao hugged Tangyuan, “With you guys to give me courage, I won’t be scared.”
Tangyuan and Little Tree cooperated by meowing and barking a few times, then started chatting.
Tangyuan asked, “Little Tree, Little Tree, have you noticed that it smells a lot worse up here than downstairs?”
Little Tree sniffed and nodded, “It smells stronger here.”
Tangyuan: “My nose is more sensitive than yours, and I feel so uncomfortable!”
Little Tree: “Then block your nose?”
“What are you guys talking about?” Fu Xiaoxiao watched them meowing and barking, extremely curious, and quickly asked Jiang Yuan, who was choosing a movie for help, “Yuan Yuan, can you translate for me?”
Jiang Yuan had been reading the movie synopsis and hadn’t heard clearly, “What did they say? I didn’t hear just now.”
Tangyuan said quickly, “Sister Yuan Yuan, Little Tree and I think it smells bad here!”
“Smells bad?” Jiang Yuan turned to Fu Xiaoxiao, “They say it smells bad here.”
“Smells bad again?” Fu Xiaoxiao got up to open the window and said suspiciously, “Is it stuffy and moldy? The hygiene is so poor, we won’t come here again.”
