Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 433 - 378 Spider-Man (Second Update)

Tong Airui frowned slightly. Isn’t this the voice of the man looking for his kid?

How come he just found his kid, and now they’re arguing?

"It’s the voice of that guy looking for his kid," Yi Luowa also recognized it.

"Don’t meddle. We still have our own business to handle." Tong Airui grabbed her hand and headed straight to their cabin.

Outside, the small wooden cabin looked primitive, but inside it was outfitted with modern high-tech amenities. The walls were covered in childhood doodles by Tong Airui and Yi Luowa. Yi Luowa smiled as she examined every single drawing, quickly forgetting about the quarrel between the father and daughter.

After showering, the two lay on the big bed. Under Yi Luowa’s relentless curiosity, Tong Airui began talking about his childhood.

By the end of his story, Tong Airui said regretfully, "I’ve never slept on my parents’ bed all my life. When we have kids, I’ll definitely not guard the bed and my woman so fiercely like my dad did."

Yi Luowa burst out laughing, "I hope you’ll follow through with what you say!"

"Judging by your tone, it seems like you don’t believe me?" Tong Airui propped himself up on his elbow and looked at her.

"You and Dad not only look alike, but your personalities are also similar. You’re just a bit more reserved compared to Dad, not as obvious."

Tong Airui chuckled, "That just means Mom’s genes had at least some influence on me."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "Honey, who do you think our baby will take after?"

Tong Airui answered seriously, "You! Definitely you! After hearing Captain Min talk, I realized aside from being taller than you, I don’t seem to have any other merits better than yours."

"That was just casual talk. You took it seriously?" Yi Luowa laughed, "I kind of hope to have a baby who looks like you but with a personality that’s neither like yours nor mine."

"Then who should they take after?"

"Mom! Actually, Grandma’s personality is nice too, but she’s too gentle and easily bullied. Mom’s personality is just right—strong but soft, refuses to suffer losses but also doesn’t offend others."

"Your personality is actually pretty good too!"

Yi Luowa shook her head, "I’m naturally mischievous, and I like doing things my own way. That’s not a good personality, and haven’t you criticized me for it before?"

"That wasn’t criticism—it was help!" Tong Airui pinched her cheek and smiled, "You’re still young. A few years from now, you’ll be no worse than Mom."

"Mom is my role model." Yi Luowa snuggled into his arms with a laugh, "Hubby..."

"Hmm?"

"I’m sleepy. Let’s go to sleep!"

Tong Airui lowered his gaze to her, "We bought everything. It’s not a waste."

"It won’t go to waste. Save it for later." Yi Luowa hugged his arm tightly, not letting him move.

Tong Airui chuckled helplessly, "Alright, sleep. Tomorrow morning, you’ll owe me for this round."

Yi Luowa breathed a sigh of relief and contentedly closed her eyes.

The two had just fallen asleep when Tong Airui’s phone rang.

Yi Luowa stirred but didn’t wake up.

Tong Airui answered the call quietly, "What happened?"

"Sir, there’s been a theft at the hotel."

"Are you half-asleep? Isn’t there police on the island?" Tong Airui frowned slightly.

"Over twenty rooms on the 13th floor were robbed in total, and it’s creating quite a stir. This hotel is under the Audric family’s business. I believe you need to come check it out."

Tong Airui rubbed his temples, glancing at the still-sleeping Yi Luowa, "I’ll head there immediately. Have Kou’er come and protect Luowa."

"Understood!"

Tong Airui sat up, "What about Mi Chenxuan?"

"Do you want the eighth master to go with you?"

"Let him come with me. You and Kou’er stay here to protect Luowa."

"Understood!"

Tong Airui carefully got out of bed, tucked Yi Luowa under the blanket, grabbed his clothes, and left the room.

Tong Airui and Mi Chenshuo brought their team to the hotel, where the lobby was packed with people. Many of the victims surrounded the manager, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Mi Chenxuan frowned at the sight, "Fourth Brother, gathering like this won’t solve anything."

"Ask them to go to the main conference room, register the stolen items, and arrange alternate accommodations on other floors. I’ll go to the crime scene on the 13th floor." Tong Airui spoke as he headed to the elevator with a group.

Upon arriving at the 13th floor, two police officers stopped him, "Police investigation in progress, please stay back."

A squad leader showed his credentials and told the officers, "This is Duke Airy Odric. He wants to examine the crime scene."

The two police officers immediately saluted Tong Airui respectfully, "Duke Airy, good evening!"

Tong Airui gave a slight nod, "Go call your commanding officer."

"Understood!" One officer made a phone call, and soon, the police chief came jogging out from one of the rooms.

Tong Airui didn’t wait for pleasantries and immediately asked, "How many officers are on the island altogether?"

"Reporting to the Duke, there are 101 total officers."

"If we need to lock down the island, will you have enough manpower?"

"There are over 50 officers here working on the case. Locking down the island won’t be enough," said the chief, looking at Tong Airui, "Can your people assist us?"

Tong Airui nodded, "I’ll handle the lockdown."

Tong turned to the squad leader, who understood the cue and used his phone to call the highest-ranking officer on the ship.

Once the lockdown was arranged, Tong Airui followed the chief into a guest room.

"Have you found any clues?" Tong Airui asked in a deep voice.

"The surveillance on the 13th floor abruptly malfunctioned tonight, leaving no footage at all," the chief said helplessly, "The culprit is highly skilled at avoiding detection, leaving no fingerprints anywhere."

"You’ve searched all twenty-something rooms?" Tong Airui asked, taking a pair of gloves and shoe covers handed to him by an officer.

"Some rooms haven’t been checked yet."

"Get me one room you haven’t checked, and I’ll take a look."

"Understood!" The chief led Tong Airui to the last guest room.

Tong Airui quickly put on shoe covers and gloves before walking in.

As he inspected, Tong Airui asked, "Did anyone check the cameras outside the hotel?"

"I’ve already dispatched officers to investigate."

"Reporting to the chief," an officer approached quickly, "We’ve found something outside the hotel’s surveillance footage."

"Report directly to Duke Airy."

"Understood!"

"Duke Airy!" The officer saluted Tong Airui. "The suspect exited through a bathroom window. The footage doesn’t clearly show her face, but her skills are remarkable—she scaled the wall without any external aid, like a Spiderman."

Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly. Such skills reminded him of ’You.’ "I’ll check the bathroom..."

Tong Airui had just exited the room and paused, taking out his phone to call Yuan Hang. Without waiting for Yuan Hang to speak, Tong Airui asked, "Any updates on your end?"

"None." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Is Luowa still asleep?"

"Still asleep."

Tong Airui frowned, "Have Kou’er wake her up and bring her to the hotel."

"Sir, did something happen?"

"Don’t ask for now. Just make the move quickly."

"Understood!"

Tong Airui hung up and quickly headed to the bathroom. After observing for a moment, he told the officers, "The suspect is around 1.7 meters tall, weighing about 40 to 45 kilograms, aged between 16 and 21."

One officer looked at him in awe, "Duke Airy, other than not being able to confirm the age, everything else you mentioned is spot on!"

"The suspect is female," Tong Airui added.

The officer nodded repeatedly, "I got too nervous earlier and missed mentioning her gender. Yes, she’s a female dressed in Spiderman gear with her face fully covered, though she has noticeable feminine features."

"Continue checking external surveillance to track her whereabouts," Tong Airui instructed. Pointing at a partial footprint on the windowsill, he told the chief, "Have someone photograph this."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The officers and chief left the restroom, and one officer asked curiously, "Chief, Duke Airy is too brilliant!"

"Don’t forget, his mother happens to be a renowned footprint expert!" The chief glanced sideways at him.

The officer slapped his forehead, "I can’t believe I forgot that!"

"Get moving. This is the biggest case since the island was established—we must crack it as quickly as possible!"

"Understood!"

Tong Airui stood by the window, looking out. Once the others walked away, he spoke to the squad leader next to him, "Dispatch a team to assist Yuan Hang."

"Understood!"

Back to Yi Luowa’s side, Kou’er struggled to get her up, but Yi Luowa lay back down again.

"Luowa, Master told you to come to the hotel. Something might have happened, so stop sleeping already."

Yi Luowa rubbed her eyes, "Something happened?!"

Kou’er nodded vigorously.

Yi Luowa sat up suddenly, glanced around, and pointed at the rear window.
