Chapter 195 Civil and Military Officials

Ah Xing stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.

"Master Pao is more powerful than us."

Qi Xu had never seen Lin Youqian fight, but looking at his toned muscles, he thought that his fighting skills were not bad.

Ah Le pulled out a yellowed envelope from the tin box and exclaimed in surprise, "Qiqi, look."

The photo inside the envelope had faded, and only a blurry figure of a baby could be seen.

The letter paper inside has turned yellow and many of the words have been blurred. You have to look very carefully and make some guesses before you can make out what it is.

This letter was written by my mother herself, and the first sentence was.

Hello, my dear baby girl, thank you for coming to my side and adding infinite hope to my life.

So, I named you Qi Xu.

August 8th is a very auspicious day. I met you, my lovely self, by the river and brought you home. I thank God for His mercy and for bestowing upon me such a wonderful gift.

At that time, I was rushing to P City to meet a client. I had to go to the toilet urgently on the way, so I parked my car on the side of the road and ran to the reed marsh on the river bank to solve the problem.

I saw someone throw you off the bridge on the other side. Your cries echoed along the riverbank, so heartbreaking.

How cruel a person can be to abandon such a beautiful and lovely baby!

I used all my strength to swim to the other side of the river and rescue you from the water. Fortunately, baby, you are lucky and God couldn't bear to take you away.

So, I'll adopt you!

Baby, although I cannot give birth to you, I am willing to use my life to care for you, love you and protect you.

Xiao Xu, if nothing unexpected happens, I don't want you to see this letter. I don't want you to know that you are an abandoned child.

I hope you can always be healthy, happy and joyful!

If one day you see this letter, mom hopes you can face it bravely and strongly. No matter what time, mom loves you and is willing to protect you forever, even if she loses her life.

Signed by An Yunxi.

Date, my baby daughter's first birthday

At the end of the letter, another line of words was added.

Xiao Xu, your mother doesn't know your birthday. When I first met you, you were about one year old. Today is your first day home. I wish my daughter a happy birthday and a healthy life.

After reading the letter, Qi Xu was already in tears. Her mother's love for her was so deep. Although they were not her biological children, it was better than hers.

And her heartless parents were willing to throw their daughter off the bridge.

She will never forgive!

Even if her biological parents came to visit her one day, she would never recognize them.

Originally, Qi Xu was thinking that if he had time one day, he would go back to the Qi family and look for the safe that Qi Wangxing had mentioned.

Inside was a paternity test report about her background.

Now she never wanted to know who her biological parents were. If they could abandon her, she would just treat them as dead.

Just when she was feeling worried, Ale picked up a small toy from the ground.

"Qiqi, there seems to be a longevity lock in this box. It's made of gold."

The gold lock was covered with a thick layer of dust. After Ah Le wiped it clean, it was still shiny golden, but the red rope on it had become dull and black, and it broke with a slight pull.

This longevity lock is very delicately crafted, with unique patterns and shapes. It is made of the finest gold, and after many years, its color remains the same as before.

There was a beautiful four-petal flower carved on the outside of the golden lock, but it was actually hollow inside, as if some small object was placed inside, making a tinkling sound when shaken.

Qi Xu kept shaking his head, as if he wanted to see through the sound to see what was inside. His eyes were fixed and he listened in fascination.

After a long time, Ah Xing couldn't help but ask her, "Qiqi, do you want Ah Xing to open it for you?"

Hush! Qi Xu signaled her to be quiet.

"Don't open it. The sound is beautiful, just like the elves in the fairy world singing. It sounds wonderful."

“Once it’s destroyed, there’s no going back.”

Ah Xing didn't know if she was referring to the lock or something else. Anyway, if Qiqi said it couldn't be opened, then it wouldn't be opened.

"Qiqi, let's go! Didn't you say you wanted to go to another place to look for a safe?"

Qi Xu put away the longevity lock and held it tightly in his palm. His eyes flickered with a hint of resentment.

"I'm not going!"

After learning the reason why he was adopted, Qi Xu no longer wanted to explore his own background.

She had originally been a little bit excited and curious about the possibility of a blood relationship. After all, after her mother passed away, she had no relatives left on her side of the family.

"Can we go eat now? I'm so hungry!"

Qi Xu then remembered that since he met the two of them, he had been asking them to work and had completely forgotten to ask whether they had eaten.

"Okay! I'll take you to eat the best specialties in South City."

Qi Xu ordered a table full of dishes, but he didn't expect them to eat them all.

"Oh my god, are you guys big eaters? You can eat so much?"

Ah Xing even ate the last slice of watermelon the restaurant sent, and said while burping, "Qiqi, we just came back from Yishan and haven't eaten for three days."

"You haven't eaten for three days? Wouldn't you faint from hunger?" Qi Xu asked considerately.

"Would you like me to order a few more dishes for you?"

Ah Xing patted his round belly and teased. "Still eating? Do you really think we are pigs?"

"Haha, yes, it's a pig. A little black pig."

Qi Xu joked with them like friends instead of treating them as servants.

"Actually, we are not that dark. We just painted ourselves so black to pretend to be Yishan villagers."

Speaking of Yishan, Qi Xu happened to ask them, "Have you found that Tongtong? Any clues?"

Ah Le was not good at speaking and kept his head down without saying a word.

Ah Xing's brows flew up in anger, and he slammed the table and cursed.

"Damn it, we didn't find him. That bastard Zhao Yunliang escaped, and the information he gave us was all fake. Brother Yan is over there handling this matter now."

"Don't worry. Brother Yan is very capable. Even if he has to dig three feet into the ground and flatten the entire Huanggou Slope, he will still be able to rescue Tongtong."

Qi Xu asked again. "You two are here, and Gu Yan is alone there. Is it safe?"

Ah Xing said, "Master Pao has dispatched a few hundred more people. Now that we know the child is at Huanggou Slope, finding Tongtong will be easier. The main task is to capture that bastard Zhao Yunliang. It's going to be quite troublesome."

Qi Xu couldn't help much with the affairs in Yishan. What she had to do now was to deal with the affairs in Nancheng as soon as possible and go back to accompany him as soon as possible.

That silly old man looked majestic, but in fact he was very hypocritical, clinging like a baby who hadn't been weaned. After only two days of not seeing each other, he said he was lovesick and insisted on coming to South City to be a warm baby for his wife, which got him scolded by Qi Xu.

"Ah Le, Ah Xing, you two should change your clothes and come with me to the company tomorrow. I think we'll have a tough battle to fight."

Ah Xing showed his fist directly.

"Okay, Qiqi, if anyone disobeys, I'll beat her to death."
