Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1044: We’re Not Allowed to Keep Each Other Warm?

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: We’re Not Allowed to Keep Each Other Warm?

Twenty minutes later, Tang Li received a multimedia message from Ji Ming.

However, there were only two photos.

They were the ticket purchase records of Ouyang Qian and Lai Yuaner.

Tang Li saw that both mother and daughter had bought tickets for a flight at 3:10 PM to Hong Kong, which made her more convinced of her previous suspicions, but she still hadn’t received the ticket purchase record for Lai Shengxia.

Being able to find someone to impersonate her at the sanatorium indicates that Lai Shengxia had a planned ’escape’.

Lai Shengxia was burdened with a trafficking case, and in recent five years, at least in country S, she couldn’t openly appear in public.

For her, the best way out was immigration.

If she couldn’t change herself, she would change her living environment.

——Go to a place where no one knows her.

Now that her mother and sister were going abroad, how could Lai Shengxia miss this opportunity?

Tang Li then recalled seeing several passports in Lai Wenyan’s study. Since Lai Shengxia didn’t use her own ID to purchase the ticket, it could only be a false identity.

If she reported to the police, she had to have some evidence.

But Ouyang Qian and Lai Yuaner were not criminals; they had the right to enter and leave the country freely.

If the police couldn’t find Lai Shengxia, it would be a false report, and the reporter would be subject to administrative punishment.

Moreover, even if Lai Shengxia was at the airport, the police might not necessarily find her.

It was now 1:17 PM, two hours till 3:10 PM.

Going from the Lai Family to the airport only took fifty minutes.

Tang Li’s scenes today were all scheduled after 5 PM, so she could make a round trip to the airport. She locked the screen on her cellphone, looked up, and instructed Yuan Qin, "To Capital International Airport."

"Huh?" Yu Sui, who was eating lunch in the passenger seat, turned to her at these words, "Aren’t you going to the filming set this afternoon?"

"First, go catch someone at the airport."

Tang Li said this while her gaze fixed on Yu Sui’s hands.

Yu Sui: "..."

She tightly pressed her garlic-coated lips together and nonchalantly hid the takeaway box behind her.

Tang Li only asked Yuan Qin: "Don’t you feel like you can’t breathe?"

Especially since Yu Sui was less than a fist’s distance from him.

Then, Tang Li received a deep, soulful response from Yuan Qin: "If I say I can’t breathe, will she get out?"

Outside, the scorching sun was blazing down.

Tang Li pulled her gaze back from the car window and nodded, "You really have foresight."

Yuan Qin: "......"

At 2:10 PM, the nanny car stopped outside the airport gate.

Tang Li put on a mask and a baseball cap. As the car door opened, Yu Sui hurriedly wiped her mouth with the back of her hand while saying, "Wait for me a moment. I’ll help you; it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort!"

Tang Li was skeptical: "With your garlic-smelling breath?"

"......"

Watching Tang Li cross the road, Yu Sui chuckled softly.

Turning back, she noticed Yuan Qin had already put on a mask.

Seeing the other person take out sunglasses, she couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Avoiding poison gas." Yuan Qin replied succinctly.

Yu Sui: "......"

One could say it wasn’t very damaging, but it was highly insulting!

After entering the airport hall, Tang Li went straight to change her boarding pass.

On the way here, she bought herself an economy class ticket for flight CA6503.

Ouyang Qian and her daughters were on this flight.

On such domestic flights, seats are rarely fully booked before departure.

After changing her boarding pass, Tang Li didn’t delay and went through security to the waiting hall.

At the boarding gate of the corresponding flight, there were only a few scattered passengers, but Ouyang Qian and her daughters were nowhere to be seen. Tang Li took out her cellphone and dialed Ouyang Qian’s number.

The call connected, but there was no ringtone in the vicinity.

As it was almost time for boarding, Ouyang Qian and her daughters shouldn’t not have passed through security.

Tang Li put away her cellphone and chose a secluded corner, preparing to lie in wait.

However, as boarding was about to end, Ouyang Qian and her daughters still hadn’t appeared.

Looking around, she didn’t see any familiar figures.

The information Ji Ming gave her couldn’t be fake; it’s possible that Ouyang Qian and her daughters had temporarily changed their flight, or they were playing tricks and all three used false identities.

After leaving the waiting hall, Tang Li pulled up a photo of Lai Shengxia on her cellphone.

Just as she was about to ask at the security check, she felt a gentle poke on her thigh.

Looking down, she saw Song Jingtian.

The little guy wore a black mask that almost covered his entire face. In his right hand, he held a leash, and Tiger Whip followed beside him, panting heavily in the heat.

"Aren’t you supposed to be filming with the crew? What are you doing here?"

After confirming she hadn’t mistaken the person, the little guy glared at her with an absolute disapproval.

"Does the airport now allow pets?" Tang Li responded with a question.

Song Jingtian rolled his eyes, stifled by her question.

Tang Li noticed someone following Song Jingtian from afar, "And you? On such a hot day, why aren’t you at Tan Palace? What are you doing at the airport?"

The little guy glanced at her matter-of-factly, "My nephew is back from a world trip, can’t I come to pick him up? Aren’t we all travelers seeking solace?"

"... As long as it makes you happy." Tang Li replied with a politely impolite smile.

With that, she headed towards the security check.

Song Jingtian followed closely, "Are you here to pick someone up too?"

Tang Li paused and looked back at Song Jingtian, "If I want to ask you for help, you wouldn’t refuse, right?"

Song Jingtian: "...?"

Airport VIP lounge.

Ouyang Qian returned with three cups of juice, and Lai Shengxia, who had been resting, opened her eyes.

As she took the drink, she asked, "Did Xiao Liang leave?"

"He left." Ouyang Qian replied as she sat with her younger daughter, "I’ve already told him that once we’re settled in Vancouver, he’ll join us."

Continuing, Ouyang Qian changed the subject, "Thanks to Xiao Liang earlier. If he hadn’t noticed Tang Li calling me at the security check, we might have run into that little brat."

Though she wasn’t sure why Tang Li was at the airport, avoiding her was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

The rescheduled flight was at 4:30 PM.

Ouyang Qian glanced at her watch; there was less than an hour to go.

At that moment, a passenger sat down on the sofa next to them.

Ouyang Qian was about to take a sip of orange juice when she overheard the conversation of the group next to her——

"That child is really pitiful. His father is paralyzed at home, and the mother is about to abandon them and leave for abroad. So, he brought the dog to the airport by himself."

"Isn’t that right?" another middle-aged woman joined in, "It’s heartless for the mother. She even changed her name to avoid being found by the kid. But fortunately, there is a photo, and the airport police said they would help him look for her."

"The kid mentioned his mom has a scar on the right side of her face, which is an important clue."

Ouyang Qian: "..."

"Xiaxia." Ouyang Qian looked at her daughter across from her.

Lai Shengxia realized what Ouyang Qian was thinking.

Whether this was a coincidence or not, it was definitely not a good sign for her!
