Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Anxious as if on Fire Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Anxious as if on Fire Since it wasn’t a ticket for this high-speed train, Luo Ziling didn’t have a seat, but he didn’t mind and stood in the aisle with his suitcase.
After the high-speed train departed, Luo Ziling called Wang Zhenjun again to ask about Yang Qingyin’s location.
“About twenty kiloters from your position, the distance is slowly increasing.” After reporting the position, Wang Zhenjun asked with confusion, “Comrade young master, why are you going to Jin City?”
“Don’t ask about that, just keep monitoring the locations of mine and Yang Qingyin’s cellphones. If the distance increases, you must tell ; if it gets closer, you must tell as well.”
“Alright,” Wang Zhenjun’s curiosity wasn’t satisfied, but he had to give up.
However, his inability to get through to Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli’s phones, along with Luo Ziling’s level of urgency, made him feel that sothing was amiss.
Wang Zhenjun didn’t know that Luo Ziling was eting Yang Qingyin to travel to the South, nor was he aware of their current situation, but he keenly sensed that there was a rift in Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin’s relationship.
During the subsequent journey, Wang Zhenjun frequently updated Luo Ziling on Yang Qingyin’s cellphone location.
Even with the phone turned off, it could still be located using special technology, though the accuracy was slightly less precise.
Wang Zhenjun was quite good with this technology, and Luo Ziling roughly knew Yang Qingyin’s whereabouts through his real-ti reports.
To his surprise, as the train continued to move forward, the distance between them was gradually shortening.
When Luo Ziling’s train arrived at Lucheng West Station, Yang Qingyin was less than five kiloters away from his position.
Another train was soon to enter Lucheng Station, and Luo Ziling checked the train schedule, finding that the train he was on could surpass the high-speed train carrying Yang Qingyin after passing Lucheng Station.
After that, the next station would allow him to arrive earlier than the train Yang Qingyin was on.
However, the next station was Zibo, which was forty minutes from Lucheng.
Luo Ziling decided to get off at Zibo Station and then board the train Yang Qingyin was on to find her and clarify the situation.
It was now twelve noon, two hours since he left Yanjing, but Luo Ziling didn’t feel hungry at all.
As the train arrived at Lucheng Station, Luo Ziling didn’t get off, but just as the high-speed train began to move, Wang Zhenjun’s call ca through.
“Comrade young master, Yang Qingyin’s location has deviated from the high-speed rail line; she must have gotten off at Lucheng Station.”
“What?” Seeing that the train had just left Lucheng Station and it was forty minutes to the next station, Luo Ziling was stunned.
“Young master, the distance between you is increasing; she got off, and you didn’t, continuing south on the high-speed train?” Wang Zhenjun’s voice was also filled with surprise, and he imdiately suggested, “Get off at the next station and take a high-speed train back to Lucheng. Anyway, I have nothing to do in Yanjing; I’ll co to Lucheng to join the excitent.”
“You are welco to co, but can you provide her location at any ti?”
“Moving quickly on the high-speed train makes it difficult to pinpoint a precise location,” Wang Zhenjun replied, “But from Yanjing to Lucheng, it’s only a two-hour journey. There are several stops in between; I can try to locate her when the train stops. I don’t think Yang Qingyin can disappear into thin air in just two hours. If I co to Lucheng, it will be easier for to help you find her.”
After thinking it over, Luo Ziling felt Wang Zhenjun made sense and agreed to have him co to Lucheng.
Forty minutes later, Luo Ziling arrived at Zibo station.
Zibo is also a famous city in Shandong Province, but Luo Ziling had absolutely no interest in glancing at this city.
He did not leave the high-speed train station but took another high-speed train heading north to Lucheng.
The train ticket was still purchased from the conductor after boarding.
While Luo Ziling was on his way back north from Zibo, Wang Zhenjun once again provided him with Yang Qingyin’s location.
“Comrade Young Master, Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli’s phone location is fixed at one point, they haven’t moved for at least five minutes. I checked, and there is a five-star hotel nearby, nad Qilu Grand Hotel. If I’m not mistaken, they must be staying there.”
“Good!” The information from Wang Zhenjun excited Luo Ziling, and he imdiately instructed Wang Zhenjun to try to obtain the list of guests at the Qilu Grand Hotel, of course, only to confirm whether Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli were there.
Wang Zhenjun naturally agreed.
Just as Luo Ziling got off at Lucheng station, Wang Zhenjun called again, excitedly reporting the latest situation to Luo Ziling.
“Comrade Young Master, Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli are indeed staying at the Qilu Grand Hotel. Their room number is 1516, and their phone location has not moved, they should be in the room.”
“That’s great,” Luo Ziling, even more excited, hurried towards the station exit with his luggage.
He even forgot that he had not eaten lunch yet.
Lucheng is the capital of Shandong Province, a very famous city, with famous attractions such as Daming Lake and Baotu Spring, of which Luo Ziling had long heard, but unfortunately, it was his first ti visiting this famous city. He had no knowledge about this city as he hadn’t planned to co here, and therefore hadn’t done any howork before he set out. After leaving the station, he couldn’t discern the directions and had to hail a taxi.
What frustrated him was that the high-speed train station was quite a long way from the Qilu Grand Hotel, a journey of at least thirty minutes by taxi.
All the way, Luo Ziling was anxious, repeatedly urging the driver to speed up as he was in a hurry.
The driver, pressured by his persistence and also observing his handso appearance, beca a bit impatient and even slightly jealous, thus deliberately took a longer route.
What was originally a thirty-minute journey turned into fifty minutes due to the driver’s detour.
Luo Ziling, initially unaware of the detour, then received a call from Wang Zhenjun, who noted that his phone’s movent track seed to be deviating, asking him what was happening.
Luo Ziling then realized that he had been duped by the driver, and imdiately burst into anger, harshly scolding the taxi driver.
The taxi driver, a burly man from Shandong, was not at all intimidated by Luo Ziling’s cursing and even stepped out of the car after stopping to retort Luo Ziling. However, when Luo Ziling grabbed him by the neck and hoisted him up directly, the driver was frightened and quickly pleaded for rcy.
Luo Ziling, not dwelling on it, tossed a fifty yuan note, and without caring whether the fare was covered, he barged into the lobby.
He did not check in at the reception but took the elevator directly to room 1516 where Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli were staying.
While waiting for the elevator, Luo Ziling called Wang Zhenjun to once again confirm that Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli’s location was right at his current position and had not moved; then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He exited the elevator and reached room 1516 at top speed, took a couple of deep breaths to suppress the excitent in his heart, and pressed the doorbell.
