Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

Early the next morning, I received a call from Mark. He said he had parked at the pier not far from the hotel. At this moment, I was eating breakfast in my room. I quickly drank the milk in my hand, then got up and left the hotel.

From a distance, I saw Mark standing on the edge of the pier waving to me. Next to him stood a relatively fat white man who was not much older than him.

When Mark saw me leaving, he came over and hurriedly introduced the fat man next to me: "This is my brother Lu Qi, just leave him to me on land!"

"Hello, Mr. Lu Qi, my surname is Liu." I didn't say my name because my name is so famous, but if I didn't say it, few people would recognize me. I'm from the business world. Except for those media reporters or those in related industries, ordinary people know my name Liu Lei, but they can't remember what I look like! Not to mention foreigners like them. In their eyes, Orientals all look the same, just like we look at foreigners!

"Mr. Liu, it's my pleasure to serve you!" Lu Qi said with a smile.

"Haha, there's no need to be so polite. I'm a little embarrassed that both of you are here to accompany me. Mr. Lu Qi, you can go run your business first. I'll call you when necessary!" I greeted him. .

"You're welcome, this is what I should do! I have already scolded my brother, and he has charged you twice the normal amount, so it is not an exaggeration for the two of us to serve you a little!" Lu Qi said.

"Is that so?" I looked at Mark with a half-smile.

"Haha. I'm sorry..." Mark looked at me sheepishly.

"It's nothing, it's business. As a buyer, since I agree to your price, it means I have approved it!" I shook my head and said, "On the contrary, I still have a lot of things to trouble you with!"

"I'm willing to help!" Mark said.

I got into Mark's dinghy. Lu Qi parked the car at the door of the hotel and was ready to be ready at any time. Whenever I need him, he will appear at the destination as quickly as possible!

"Mr. Liu, where are we going now?" Mark started the boat, then turned to me and asked.

where to? To be honest, I don't have any specific destination. I don't know where Yang Mei is. If I had known this earlier, I should have left a mental imprint on her. Since Meng Qingqing’s accident last time. I put a spiritual brand on each of my women, so that I can know their location at any time, and I can arrive as soon as possible when they are in danger!

I thought about it,

Meng Qingqing is most likely to go to some scenic spots. So I said to Mark, "Okay, are there any famous scenic spots or amusement spots nearby? You can take me there!"

"Okay, the nearby St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Cathedral are very famous. This is the most elite and prosperous area in Venice!" Mark introduced.

I don't know Yang Mei's playing habits, so I can only look for it aimlessly, but this is the only way I can think of at the moment!

"Then let's go to St. Mark's Square and have a look!" I nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go back to the shore now. St. Mark's Square is not far from here. I'll ask Lucci to drive you over!" Mark said.

"Forget it. Since it's not far, let's just walk there. Just treat it as a walk!" I said nonchalantly.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you there!" Mark nodded.

When I first came here, I wanted to take a walk around here. Although the chance of encountering Yang Mei is very small. But it’s not impossible, so I’d rather try my luck!

There are not many Chinese people on the streets. So I can easily find the target without searching deliberately. However, I met a few Chinese people, but there was no Yang Mei!

When I arrived in front of St. Mark's Church, I didn't find that familiar figure. The church is located on one side of St. Mark's Square. It is surrounded by shops and opposite is a museum. After I went to the church, I took a quick walk around the boutiques and museums, and then I was ready to leave.

Mark, who was next to me, saw my behavior was very strange: "I said, man, why are you in such a hurry? You didn't look at many things carefully, and you didn't take pictures. What's the old saying you have there? By the way, It’s just a quick tour, why don’t you look like you’re out for sightseeing?”

I know Mark will sooner or later

, and what I want to do is nothing shameful. There is nothing about saying: "Actually, I have already said that I am here to do some private things, and there is no need to hide it from you. I am actually here to Came to find my girlfriend!"

"Looking for a girlfriend?" Mark was stunned, and then said: "Oh, I understand, don't hold back, she came here by herself, and then you came to find her, am I right?"

"Absolutely!" I smiled, not wanting to tell him about Yang Mei's illness.

"There aren't many Chinese here, so let's do this. Do you have a photo of her? Show it to me and I can help you find it together!" Mark said.

"There are photos, but I didn't bring them with me. When I go back to the hotel later, I can ask my family to send them over the Internet, and then go to the photo studio to make a few copies!" I agreed very much after hearing this. After all, the two of us were looking for photos together. A person must be strong!

"Okay, let Lucci take one too, so that he can drive around while waiting. Maybe some miracle will happen!" Mark said.

Thinking of this, Mark and I immediately set off back to the hotel where I was staying. He made a phone call and called Lu Qi over.

As soon as I returned to the hotel, I called Liu Yue.

"How's it going, hubby, is there any news about Yang Mei?" Liu Yue dialed my phone and asked impatiently as soon as she saw my phone.

"Not yet, please, I've only been here for a day and it's not that easy to find! By the way, do you have any photos of Yang Mei?" I asked.

"Photos? What's the use?" Liu Yue asked.

"Haha, that's it. I hired a driver locally. I'm going to give him a copy of the photo and ask him to keep an eye on it for me!" I explained.

"So that's it. This is a good idea. Just wait, I'll find it for you right away and send it to your mailbox!" Liu Yue said.

In 1999, there may not be many hotels in China with Internet access, but the one I was in had Internet service, and I could access the Internet just by plugging in my laptop.

I immediately checked my mailbox. Although there were several unread letters, there was none from Liu Yue. Maybe I haven't received it yet.

At this time, the intercom phone in the room rang, and I picked it up. It turned out to be a call from the front desk, saying that a gentleman was looking for me and asked if I could call him up. I knew it was Lu Qi who was coming, so I quickly told the reception desk to let him go.

After a while, Lu Qi opened the door and walked in. "Hey, why are you back? Aren't you going out?"

"No, actually the thing is like this..." Mark told Lu Qi about my story.

"Girlfriend? Is your girlfriend also Chinese?" Lu Qi asked after hearing this.

"Yes, of course." I nodded.

"I drove a few guests the day before yesterday. They were also Chinese, but they seemed to be traveling as a family. She probably wasn't your girlfriend." Lu Qi said to himself.

"What!" I was shocked after hearing Lu Qi's words: "A family? Three people?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lu Qi didn't understand why I was so excited.

"My girlfriend should have come with her parents! So there are three of us!" I quickly said: "Where did they get on the bus? Where did they get off?"

"They are driving on the Rialto Bridge, and their destination is St. Mark's Basilica." Lu Qi thought for a moment and said.

"Realto Bridge? Is it a place name? Is there a hotel nearby?" I seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope.

"The Leiato Bridge is also a scenic spot. It's just a bridge. There doesn't seem to be any hotels nearby..." Lu Qi shook his head.

So this is ah! I sighed in disappointment, and suddenly thought that I still had Yang Mei's photo, and I should let Lu Qi confirm it. If Yang Mei was really in Venice, then I would be more confident in searching for it!

I refreshed my "inbox" and found that Liu Yue's letter had been sent! I opened the email, downloaded the image attachment to my notebook, and then opened the image.

This is a life photo taken of Yang Mei while working in the company. Yang Mei is sitting at the computer desk, sorting out a document, with a calm smile on her face.

"That's right! That's her! I remember her!" Lu Qi suddenly pointed at the photo on the computer and shouted loudly.
