Qin Xiaoyu angrily yanked off the bed sheet and saw Laifu lying on the bed, too afraid to move.

"Has this dog gone mad?" Qin Xiaoyu raised her hand and slapped its fat bottom. Laifu whimpered and got off the bed, but lay down at the foot of the bed and refused to go out again.

"Let it sleep for one night," Are pleaded again.

Qin Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated. This golden retriever had been fed like a pig by Zhou Xing's mother. It weighed over 100 pounds and still acted like a baby, wanting to sit in someone's lap.

Seeing the cake being cut made her jealous, so she pushed her way forward, ignoring everything else. She must have been wronged again today, so she's trying to find some balance.

A Lei was in a low mood today, and he just lay in bed in a daze.

What are you thinking about?

“I was thinking, you said that people from the same family have the same values. Bai Weiwei is quite fond of money, will Qing Xiaoxu be an exception?” A Lei turned to the side, propping his head up to look at Qin Xiaoyu.

"But we've checked, and she's clean. Besides, the investigation into Bai Weiwei's case last time was extremely thorough."

"Just because it's okay in the Northeast doesn't mean it'll be okay here. People are always making progress." A Lei raised an eyebrow.

"Check it again?" Qin Xiaoyu's mind raced. To investigate Qing Xiaoxu, a simple report wouldn't suffice; if it involved using her real name, it would be making an enemy in public.

If they can't find the problem, I'm afraid she'll retaliate fiercely.

“I remember someone.” A Lei suddenly sat up and pointed at Lai Fu on the ground. Lai Fu jumped up excitedly and wagged its tail vigorously.

"You mean Gao Daxiong?" Qin Xiaoyu understood immediately when she saw him pointing at the dog.

She remembered that when Gao Daxiong was wanted by Master K and A Lei last time, he was able to make a positive comeback and invest again as a Taiwanese businessman, which must have been through Qing Xiaoxu's connections.

Given Gao Daxiong's character and way of dealing with people, it's impossible for him not to give a gift. And Qing Xiaoxu is definitely not someone who values ​​sentimentality; it's also impossible for her not to accept it.

Qin Xiaoyu didn't care that it was too late and quickly got up to call Master K.

K was a petty person; he called back at three in the morning, waking them up from their sleep.

Gao Daxiong is indeed in Hong Kong, and we know where he is staying.

Now all Qin Xiaoyu needs to say is whether to bring the person back or deal with them.

"I'm going to see him." Qin Xiaoyu certainly didn't want to bring Gao Daxiong back, as that would alert him.

The next morning, she and A Lei boarded the train.

Just then, Lin Yaofangfei invited her to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of her new store, and Qin Xiaoyu had to be there.

Thanks to the name of Riyue Apparel, Lin Yaofangfei's business has taken off. This time, it's a big deal, with all the guests being high-profile figures.

"Xiaoyu, shouldn't we open a premium booking room? More and more people are coming in to inquire." Lin Yaofangfei's attitude became more and more determined; she was no longer the one who distanced herself from the situation.

"We definitely need to open a haute couture studio. I'll take a look later and see who would be suitable to come over." Qin Xiaoyu had thought a lot about this.

With several designers under her management, Zhou Yue having many children, and Deng Jianyan's clinic in Guangzhou, she couldn't move around.

Master Liang and Factory Director Fei are inseparable. The main factory in their hometown in Northeast China also cannot do without Factory Director Fei, which indirectly binds Master Liang to them as well.

Xu Jingye's designs aren't suited for haute couture, but Jie Wei's are. However, his girlfriend Cheng Fuyue is in Guangzhou, and the two are inseparable...

"Little Fish, we have an appointment. We'll talk later," A Lei reminded him, checking the time.

Qin Xiaoyu hurriedly followed him out. This time they went to the dock, and it was unexpected that Gao Daxiong could be so flexible and resilient, even carrying heavy bags at the dock.

According to Mr. K, Gao Daxiong usually comes out around noon, and now is a better time.

Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei were dressed casually, both wearing baseball caps, and walked slowly. To outsiders, they looked like a couple who had gone astray while enjoying the scenery.

A Lei had been keeping an eye on things, and when they reached Warehouse No. 5, he tightened his grip on Qin Xiaoyu's hand.

This is it. There are cargo ships docked here right now, and people are coming and going. They looked around, but there was no sign of Gao Daxiong.

Has he run away? His informants are quite sharp.

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the crowd surged forward. Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei exchanged a glance, guessing that something must have happened to Gao Daxiong, but they were too late.

When they ran over, someone had already called the police. Gao Daxiong was trapped under several boxes of goods, with only one bare foot sticking out.

The reason they recognized Gao Daxiong at a glance was because of the Labrador dog beside him, Huanhuan, which was barking pitifully.

Such incidents are often left unresolved. So, A Lei and Qin Xiaoyu returned empty-handed. As they walked out of the dock, they saw an ambulance carrying Gao Daxiong's body away, and Huanhuan chased after it.

"Do you think someone as cunning as him might leave clues?" Qin Xiaoyu was unwilling to accept it. If Qing Xiaoxu was the one who did all this, and she still managed to escape the law, that would be too infuriating.

"Probably, let's go check on where he lives." K-sensei had given him the address, but A-Lei didn't want to take Qin Xiaoyu there, not wanting to cause any problems.

Their car drove on for a while, and suddenly they saw Huanhuan standing on the road, looking around blankly, running east a few times, running west a few times, and crying incessantly.

It seems they lost track of the car. A Lei, who always loved dogs, couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled over, walked over to Huanhuan, said something, and quickly brought the dog back.

Gao Daxiong lived in the most crowded part of Yau Ma Tei. When Qin Xiaoyu walked in, she almost had a claustrophobic episode. They were lucky; there weren't many people there now, as most had gone out to work.

She couldn't imagine what it would feel like to have these tiny, chicken-coop-like rooms filled with people.

With Huanhuan leading the way, finding Gao Daxiong's residence wasn't difficult. The police, however, acted faster and had already searched the place.

A Lei gave a thin, dark-skinned woman a foreign exchange certificate. She mumbled something for a long time before A Lei finally translated it for Qin Xiaoyu.

Gao Daxiong didn't have anything; the police only took his ID.

Qin Xiaoyu steeled herself and looked under the covers. It was just a bare bed, nothing there. The drawers were a mess, filled with food bags, and the smell was indescribable.

They stepped outside, and Qin Xiaoyu took a deep breath.

There are more opportunities in Hong Kong than in the mainland. But in the Northeast, even the poorest people have a decent place to live. Yet, those people who come from the mainland would rather live in cramped, cramped apartments. Why is that?

"Because they have dreams and hope that one day they can leave this place and rise to the top." A Lei saw it more clearly.

Because I brought Huanhuan along, it took a little longer. Luckily, I received a call from the hospital just as I was getting back to Guangzhou.

When Qin Xiaoyu returned to Guangzhou, the hospital called to say they were preparing to operate on Lu Di. His condition was critical; he was in a coma and, without surgery, he likely only had a few days left.
