Chapter 181 He Just Loves His Fragile Little Fox (3)
The upper floor of the New York Stock Exchange opened in the afternoon.
The first price of the "Luxury and Extravagant" brand was directly raised to 20.12, just as Lu Qi said.
However, this was not the value at the time of the previous market adjustment. When the market closed, the stock price stopped at 18.01. Lu Qi had already made all the efforts she needed to make, and it was Pei Yao's turn to help her make money.
Pulling her into the VIP room, he immediately helped her reach the value she wanted, but David lost in the end.
Pei Yao drummed his fingers on the table, listening idly to the remaining insignificant sector feedback, which eventually closed at a high price of 29.99.
At the closing time, due to the time difference with Los Angeles, the award ceremony broadcast by James had not yet ended.
The competition for foreign language films was mentioned, and Qi Hong, the winner of the Golden Man in the previous two sessions, was invited to the stage.
Suddenly, Pei Yao's fingers were suspended in the air, his expression was tense, and deep and profound pupils filled his entire eyes.
He reached out and took the tablet from James' hand, and checked the other information and news.
There is not much information about Chinese films and Hollywood. The only piece of information is that the Academy will preliminarily select foreign language films for next year, and the movie "Years" has been shortlisted.
Scrolling further down, there is a mention of inviting the Nianhua crew to participate in this ceremony.
Pei Yao suddenly threw the tablet back into James' hands, took out his phone, and made a call: "Check for me the list of Chinese people who have entered Los Angeles in the past two days."
The other party acted quickly. Within a few minutes, a list was sent to Pei Yao's mobile phone.
Looking back, the director, producer, male and female protagonists of the "Years" crew all entered Los Angeles yesterday.
For a moment, Pei Yao clenched his hand around the phone.
James could clearly see the blue veins on the back of his hand suddenly bulging. It seemed that the man, who was originally in a good mood, was now in a very low mood for some reason.
However, the gentleman remained calm, picked up another phone and dialed a number.
The number was connected, and a prompt tone came from the other end: [Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later.]
"Boom!" A loud thunder came from outside the window.
Thunderstorms are frequent in early spring, and it is said that there will be heavy rain in New York today.
As the notification sounded, Pei Yao's expression became more and more gloomy, and just at this moment, his usual cell phone rang.
Phil called from Los Angeles.
It wasn't good news. Every word was like cold water poured on Pei Yao's heart: "Sir! I can't seem to find a wife!"
"She just went out to dinner and said she was going to get her hair done. It's been three hours. I asked several hair salons in Los Angeles, but I haven't seen her go there!"
There are many hair salons in Los Angeles, but only three or four of them can satisfy Lu Qi's preferences, and she hasn't been to any of them.
She also didn’t go back to the counter or the hotel, so where else could she go?
It's not like I'm going to visit some big star's house in Hollywood Hills.
Pei Yao's face was expressionless, he remained calm and restrained, his words were extremely cold: "Keep looking."
He hung up the phone, stood up, causing the leather chair to fall to the ground, turned around and took the exclusive elevator out the door, without even waiting for James who was behind him and had no time to react.
Trying my best to persuade myself, don't let my thoughts wander——
Maybe she didn't even run into that group of people, or maybe even if she did, she didn't say anything. Or maybe she even played dumb when she saw someone she knew...
He spent New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve, and Valentine's Day with her. Isn't everything fine now?!
She also told him that they should make money together in the future...she had promised him the future.
We won’t be separated anymore, right?
As I walked out the door, it started to rain heavily in New York. The first rain of early spring was still bitingly cold.
James had just taken the umbrella handed to him by the bodyguard, and before he could open it, his husband had already walked into the rain.
"Sir!" James hurriedly chased after him, and the car was already outside the door.
Pei Yao opened the door and got into the car without opening the umbrella, and his black cashmere coat was half wet by the rain.
It’s not that he deliberately got wet in the rain, he was just thinking.
There was no news from Vivian. David, Linda... all the Hollywood celebrities she knew had not seen her today. There was no way to find her through ordinary means, so the only remaining method was to take a thrilling approach.
James had just put away his umbrella and sat in the passenger seat. Without even thinking or asking, he simply called out to the driver, "Go to the airport."
There is no problem. If the person is missing, their husband will definitely fly over directly. Everything has been arranged.
The person in the back seat had a face so gloomy that it made the entire interior of the car as dark as night.
Pei Yao tapped his fingers on the center console of the Phantom, his words still as calm as ever: "Turn on the security team's radar for me."
The command issued was not as calm as his voice, and James was startled.
They have always had little contact with the security team, and even the previous application for Lu Qi's bail was done through someone else.
Firstly, Pei Yao is from China after all, so he tries not to have too obvious contact with the federal cabinet and attract criticism. Secondly, he really doesn't like the security team, which is more annoying than the CIA.
But now it seems that this is the only way to know where Lu Qi is the fastest and most accurately.
Lu Qi was still wearing the security team's surveillance radar on her hand, which had 3,7868 possible combination keys that could be updated in seconds. She couldn't take it off no matter what.
No need to turn around and ask Pei Yao again, are you sure?
Now that he had made the decision, James did as he was told, took a deep breath, and made a phone call.
After a while, a real-time message was transmitted to Pei Yao's computer in the back seat.
A map of Los Angeles appeared on the computer. The red dots showed Lu Qi's movements throughout the day. He stopped at a restaurant for a full hour and a half, then went to the Sixth Street Bridge...
Now near Sunset Boulevard.
James also had this scene in the front row, trying to communicate with Pei Yao: "Sir, maybe the wife didn't mean to run away, but her phone was out of battery and she was playing somewhere."
The car was approaching LaGuardia Airport, the closest airport to Manhattan and the one with the most concentrated thunderstorms at the moment.
Maybe if it was just a false alarm, they wouldn't have to go out during the time when all flights were grounded.
James's guess is not unreasonable. The person who wants to escape should appear at the airport, dock, etc.
At this moment, he still hoped that he was just overthinking it.
Pei Yao didn't relax his gaze and stared at the red dot quietly.
He took out his phone and called someone in Los Angeles: "Get your people and go find my people on Sunset Boulevard. Hurry."
James was puzzled and was about to speak when the red dot on the display suddenly disappeared: "Sir... sir, is the radar malfunctioning?"
"Heh." Pei Yao let out a cold, piercing laugh, his eyes filled with crimson. "She tore it apart."
If you don't run, there's no need.
There is no need to think about how she did it, as long as she is determined, she can do it.
He dialed Lu Qi's new mobile phone number again, but the three words "powered off" on the other end hurt Pei Yao's ears.
She ran away again! She didn’t want him anymore!
I leaned back in the seat, holding my phone, and heard a slight sound of the screen breaking.
His expression could not be seen in the car, but he could only hear his hoarse voice ordering: "Contact the California government, send the police, and find all the black and white people!"
After saying that, he paused and said: "And the damn one, detain the people from that crew." Even if it's a crime, he won't let any of them go!
