Xie Xuning stood outside the door with an impressive presence. His masculine appearance and grave expression made him look nothing like a bad person.

“Who are you? Did you come to the wrong place at this hour of the night?”

Xie Xuning stood behind the door and spoke in a low voice, “Are you Jiao Hongmei? I’ve come from the Imperial Capital to visit you. I have something to ask about Friendship Hospital.”

Jiao Hongmei was stunned for a moment. “Friendship Hospital?”

That was one of her previous workplaces.

The problem was… that hospital was demolished and rebuilt a long time ago because of its geographical location.

“Which part of Imperial Capital did you come from? May I see your work permit?”

Since it was at the wee hours of the night, Jiao Hongmei was far more aware of her surroundings and safety.

Jiao Hongmei cracked the door open, and Xie Xuning passed one of his guard’s work permit to her.

Once Jiao Hongmei saw the contents written on the work permit, her suspicions disappeared.

She turned on the lights in the hallway and unlocked the anti-theft door.

“Hi, I’m sorry about the mess in my house. The hourly maid’s only coming to clean up tomorrow.”

Jiao Hongmei’s house was in a mess. The sofa was cluttered with her clothes, and her shoes were scattered in the hallway near the door.

Currently, Jiao Hongmei was wearing a silk nightgown with several plastic hair curlers in her hair.

Jiao Hongmei hastily cleared out an area for Xie Xuning to sit once he was inside the house.

“Do you recall seeing this missing person’s notice?”

Xie Xuning went straight to the point. He wanted to get the information from Jiao Hongmei as quickly as possible.

Jiao Hongmei reached out and took the missing people’s notice from Xie Xuning. Her fingernails were painted in red.

She looked at the date written on the missing people’s notice attentively. It was indeed published during the period when she was still working in that hospital.

“I’ll need some time to think about it.”

Since it was something that happened quite long ago, Jiao Hongmei could not remember it right away.

Jiao Hongmei walked to the coffee table, bent down, and reached for the cigarette box. She took out a thin cigarette and put it between her lips.

Poof!

Flames flickering, the lighter was ignited.

Jiao Hongmei lit her cigarette and inhaled deeply.

The smell of cigarettes made Xie Xuning frown inconspicuously.

Jiao Hongmei unconsciously took another deep puff at her cigarette.

“At that time, I remember I worked in the emergency room. Many people were sent to the emergency room every day because of car accidents. I didn’t pay special attention, so I can’t say if there was a lady with a heart-shaped birthmark on her wrist.”

A long time passed.

According to the missing person notice published in the newspaper, it was certain that Jiao Hongmei was not aware of what happened back then. Why was that?

“I was too engaged in my relationship back then, so I did not communicate much with my colleagues.”

Jiao Hongmei was heavily addicted to smoking that she finished her cigarette in less than five minutes.

She lit another cigarette again.

“The missing person notice was published for a month. Do you not have any memory of it?”

Jiao Hongmei looked at the missing people’s notice again and shook her head.

“I genuinely cannot recall anything. If something did happen, there’s no way I wouldn’t know about it. News spreads fast in the hospital; everyone would’ve quickly known if something happened.”

The veins in Xie Xuning’s temple were pounding.

Was his trip to find out about Linlang’s whereabouts going to be in vain again?

“Can you try thinking about it again? Did anything unusual happened in the hospital back then?”

Jiao Hongmei asked herself, “Anything unusual?”
