Chapter: 957

Unfortunately, Xiao initially was saying with a worried tone: "I've also contacted some of my mom's old friends, but I haven't found any clues yet."

Lei Chen said: "Don't you think it's better to stop searching around aimlessly like a headless fly tonight and come home first? The police have already been notified about the missing person, and they should be helping with the investigation. What do you think?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Changkun sighed and said: "That's all we can do for now. I'll go back with Ruo Lin, and you go back with my dad."

"Okay." Lei Chen replied and hung up the phone, then told Xiao Changkun: "Let's go home."

Xiao Changkun slapped his thigh and smiled: "Go! Let's go home, take a bath, and sleep. You'll accompany me to the airport tomorrow morning."

Lei Chen asked in surprise: "Do I have to go too?"

"Of course." Xiao Changkun said: "Mei-xing is still with her son. We two will catch up on old times, and you can chat with him, making it possible for me and Mei-xing to have some private conversation."

"Okay." Lei Chen nodded and agreed: "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way..." Xiao Changkun said sheepishly: "Good son-in-law, my dad has no money left, and he spent all his savings on furniture. If not for tomorrow's dinner at Xigaze, will you help Dad arrange a table?"

"Alright." Lei Chen agreed. Against his father-in-law, Lei Chen was actually not too selfish, as he had always been decent to himself.

"So Lei Chen sent a WeChat message to Chen Zheke, asking him to reserve a better room for himself at Shangri-La tomorrow."

"However, he also emphasized that it's absolutely not allowed to book the most expensive one, or it would be hard to explain; something mid-range to upscale should be fine."

"Chen Zheke immediately instructed the manager of the grand hall at Shangri-La to arrange the room in advance."

"This was happening right now, at the prison."

"Because it was already dark, Ma Ran could only starve her stomach and endure the pain all over her body, lying on her wooden bed."

"As soon as she lay down, her stomach started making a rumbling sound."

"Not far from her, Zhang Gui Fen immediately shouted, 'Ma, if your stomach gives me one more growl, I'll make you sleep in the toilet bowl!'"

Ma Ran lay on her bed feeling extremely miserable.

She hadn't eaten a single bite for over twelve hours, and had been beaten to a pulp. Her stomach was growling so loudly that it felt like it was pressing against her back, making her unable to bear it anymore, even if she wanted to.

But she dare not offend Zhang Gui Fen.

After all, this nasty woman would beat her up too badly.

Just as she was thinking of trying to fall asleep as soon as possible, who would have thought that her stomach would suddenly start growling again, calling out for food.

Zhang Gui Fen immediately stood up and rushed over to Ma Ran's face in three quick steps, slapping her with a loud "thwack" that made Ma Ran's already red and swollen face look like it was about to explode with pain.

Ma Ran could only beg for mercy: "Sorry, sorry... I didn't mean it..."

Because of having lost two teeth, Ma Ran's speech is seriously impaired, making it difficult to understand what she's saying. JrNovels.com
