Chapter 147: Jiang Yilan Is Missing
Jiang Yuan prepared to leave the tiger garden but was stopped by Hu Rui.
“Yuan Yuan, the tiger wants to take a photo with you, and then you’ll post it online so everyone knows we’re good friends!”
Hu Jiu heard the commotion and hurried over, “Then the tiger also wants to take a group photo with Yuan Yuan!”
The other tigers heard and started to join the fun. Even Hu Yang, who was originally in a low mood, squeezed in, unwilling to be outdone.
Jiang Yuan looked at this scene and suddenly found it a little funny.
How could these big tigers look so much like the kindergarten children she picked up from school with Zhan Zhan and Momo?
“Okay, everyone can take photos, don’t rush,” Jiang Yuan smiled and comforted the tigers. “No need to quarrel, take your time.”
Hearing her say this, the squabbling tiger brothers finally quieted down and obediently waited for arrangements.
Jiang Yuan looked at the obedient tigers and said softly, “Let’s arrange them by age. The oldest goes first, okay?”
Hu Ka heard this and sighed, “Then the tiger will have to be last, won’t it?”
Hu Shan said triumphantly, “Heh heh, I didn’t expect being old to have this advantage.”
After taking the group photos, the tiger brothers still clamored to look at them.
Jiang Yuan granted their requests and sat cross-legged on a stone.
Several big tigers surrounded her.
Jiang Yuan opened the group photos one by one and showed them to the tigers.
“The tiger looks so handsome!” Hu Rui said narcissistically.
Jiang Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, “You’re mistaken, this is Hu Jiu.”
“Ah?” Hu Rui’s eyes instantly widened in surprise, “Isn’t this a tiger?”
“No,” Jiang Yuan’s eyes curved into a smile. “You and Hu Jiu do look a bit alike.”
“Do we look alike?” Hu Rui became unhappy. “The tiger thinks he’s more handsome than him!”
Hu Jiu immediately head-butted him, “What are you talking about? The tiger is much cooler than you!”
Hu Rui glared at him, “Shameless!”
Hu Jiu roared angrily, “What do you mean, do you want to fight?”
Hu Rui snorted haughtily, “Yuan Yuan is here, the tiger doesn’t want to fight.”
“Fine,” Hu Jiu also snorted coldly, “When Yuan Yuan leaves, the tiger will definitely beat you up!”
Hu Rui: “Who beats whom is not yet decided!”
Jiang Yuan heard the conversation between the two tigers and said helplessly, “Don’t fight. You look so alike, would you bear to disfigure that face that looks like your own?”
Hu Rui hesitated, “Now that you mention it, I really am a little reluctant.”
Hu Jiu also nodded, “The tiger is too.”
A faint smile curved Jiang Yuan’s lips. “Then don’t fight.”
Hu Rui and Hu Jiu obediently agreed and continued looking at the group photos.
“Alright, we’ve finished looking,” Jiang Yuan put her phone in her pocket, stood up, and patted the two tigers on the head. “I have to go.”
“Yuan Yuan,” Hu Yang called out to her, “Remember to help the tiger!”
Jiang Yuan turned back and made an “OK” gesture to him. “Don’t worry.”
As soon as she exited the tiger garden, she went to Gu Yiwei’s office to find him.
Gu Yiwei poured her a cup of hot tea in a disposable cup, sat opposite her, and asked with concern, “Consultant Jiang, what’s Hu Yang’s situation?”
“Director Gu, don’t be nervous, it’s good news.” Jiang Yuan picked up her teacup and took a sip. “Hu Yang has found a tiger he likes.”
Gu Yiwei stared at her blankly, as if doubting if he had misheard. He hesitated and asked, “What did you just say?”
Jiang Yuan said slowly, “Hu Yang said that he went to another tiger garden some time ago and fell in love with a tiger named Cui Hua there.”
“Ah?” Gu Yiwei hadn’t expected Hu Yang to fall in love with a tiger from Linjin Zoo. “Linjin Zoo borrowed some tigers a while ago, and Hu Yang stayed there for two weeks.”
“Hu Yang wants to see Cui Hua,” Jiang Yuan said. “Can you arrange it for him?”
Gu Yiwei pondered for a moment and frowned, “I can arrange it, but the procedures won’t be that fast. Can Hu Yang wait?”
“Hard to say,” Jiang Yuan couldn’t be sure either.
“I’ll think of another way,” Gu Yiwei felt both happy and worried.
He was happy that a tiger in his zoo had fallen in love.
He was worried that a tiger in his zoo had fallen into lovesickness.
Hu Yang’s abnormal behavior these past two days was because he was thinking of Cui Hua.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and suggested, “Maybe you can have them video call? To ease Hu Yang’s longing for now.”
“Good idea!” Gu Yiwei thought this was a great idea, so he immediately called the person in charge of the tiger garden at Linjin Zoo.
He thought it was a good idea, but the other party didn’t think so at all. “You have an animal consultant there, what do we have? Who will hold the phone for Cui Hua to video call?”
Gu Yiwei: “……”
He was speechless and didn’t dare to refute.
Who asked his brat to fall for their daughter?
Jiang Yuan said in a low voice, “Director Gu, how about asking them to record a few videos of Cui Hua for Hu Yang to watch?”
“I’ll try,” Gu Yiwei changed his plan, and Linjin immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yiwei showed a flattering smile. “Consultant Jiang, are you busy later?”
“I understand,” Jiang Yuan said unhurriedly. “I’ll leave after showing Hu Yang Cui Hua’s videos.”
Gu Yiwei was instantly relieved. “Thank you so much, Consultant Jiang.”
“You’re welcome,” Jiang Yuan put down her teacup, leaned lazily on the sofa, and turned her head to look at the green leaves gently swaying in the wind outside the window.
After a while, she took out her phone from her hoodie pocket and posted the group photo of her and the tiger brothers on Douyin.
A new message notification popped up on WeChat.
Jiang Yuan clicked on it and saw the information about Jiang Yilan sent by Si Heng.
Her last travel record was on February 2nd. After celebrating the New Year in her hometown, she took the high-speed rail to Yun Jing.
The last payment record was on February 13th. She bought fruit at a convenience store for a friend and asked the friend to take care of her pet cat. After that, she seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no consumption records or travel records.
Jiang Yuan frowned beautifully and quickly typed: 【 Did you find Jiang Yilan’s boyfriend? 】
Before she could send this message, Si Heng sent another text: 【 Investigation shows Jiang Yilan has a boyfriend named Li He’an. He graduated from a prestigious university, works in the finance industry, and is currently going to work normally. 】
Jiang Yuan stared at these words, her expression gradually becoming solemn.
Li He’an is Jiang Yilan’s boyfriend. Qiuqiu said Jiang Yilan was going on a trip with her boyfriend, which is why she fostered it at a friend’s house.
Now Jiang Yilan is missing, but Li He’an is still going to work normally?
Jiang Yuan gripped her phone, deleted the text she had just edited, and re-entered a message:
【 Si Heng, can you investigate this Li He’an? Jiang Yilan’s pet cat said she was going on a trip with her boyfriend. Netizens told me Jiang Yilan’s boyfriend came from Da Shan… 】
Si Heng understood her meaning and quickly replied: 【 Okay. 】
Jiang Yuan closed her eyes. When she opened them again, Wei Fangfei had entered at some point and was sitting on the single sofa opposite her, looking at her.
