After thinking for a while, Muriel turned back, agilely dodged the surveillance monitor and sneaked into the room of Joseph. She saw the coat on the hanger and quietly put a tiny audio monitor in the coat. After that, she left the military compound and hailed a taxi to leave.
Sitting in the living room, Joseph looked at his watch and frowned slightly. 'She had been in the army for so long, but she had no idea of time. It was really disappointing!'
Joseph called the nanny over, "Ask Muriel to come down."
The nanny nodded and went upstairs quickly. She knocked on the door of Muriels room, but no one opened it. She called several times outside, but there was no response from inside.
The nanny thought for a while and immediately opened the door, only to find that there was no one in the room, and Muriel's suitcase was open on the ground.
Seeing the nanny trotting downstairs alone, Joseph's heart sank, "What's wrong?"
"Sir, bad news! Miss Muriel is missing. She is not in the room. " The nanny said to Joseph in a hurry.
"What? be missing? How could it be possible? " Joseph called the security guard and asked, "Hello, did Muriel leave the neighborhood just now?"
The security guard checked the in and out registration and replied, "No."
After hanging up the phone angrily, Joseph strode to Muriel's room. Looking at the dress on the bed and the open suitcase on the ground, he went straight to the window. Looking at the clear footprints on the wall, he angrily threw his walking stick to the ground. "Bastard!"
Joseph estimated the time and immediately dialed a number.
The captain was surprised to receive the call from Joseph. "Hello?"
"Has Muriel gone back to the barracks?"
"Come back to the barracks? Didn't she just go back to B City this morning? I have given her two weeks off. Why did she come back so soon? There is no emergency. " The captain asked in confusion.
Joseph scolded angrily, "Damn it! I'm going to take her to the birthday party tonight, but I didn't expect her to run away."
"Run away? It can't be true. Why did she run away from a birthday party? By the way, whose birthday party is it? " The captain asked curiously.
After hesitating for a while, Joseph said, "Old Zhou."
The captain immediately understood, "You took her on a blind date, didn't you? Don't tell me that I guess wrong. Last time when the joint training was held, the boy of the Zhou family had been staring at her. Muriel is just a little girl. Why is she in such a hurry to get married? "
"It's none of your business. Inform me immediately if she returns to the army." Then he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party's answer.
"Hello?" Hearing the empty sound from the other end of the phone, the captain could not help but sigh.
The driver stepped forward and asked carefully, "Sir, are we leaving? It's already six fifteen. "
Joseph glanced at the nanny. The nanny picked up the crutch on the ground and handed it to him. Then she went to the room and took out his coat.
After getting dressed, Joseph said to the driver with a livid face, "Let's go!"
At the birthday party, the guests arrived one after another. They greeted each other with champagne in their hands. Leonard clinked glasses with the guests and looked at the entrance.
As soon as the familiar car came in, he walked quickly to the old man who got out of the car and said respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa Mu."
"Hello. Where is your grandpa? I'll go and congratulate him." Joseph said kindly to Leonard.
"Grandpa is here. I'll take you there." Leonard looked at the other door in confusion. Why didn't Muriel get off the car? He looked into the car and found no one except the driver.
