Chapter 61: Gentle from beginning to end
"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao!"
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
As soon as I heard the voice, I knew the person coming was Lao Wu.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw him coming in panting.
"Little Feather is here? Why are you in such a hurry?" asked Mrs. Gu.
The fifth child's name is Qi Xiaoyu, and his nickname is Xiaomao. The elders in the compound who know him are used to calling him by his nickname.
"Hello, Grandma Gu!" Lao Wu tried to catch his breath. "I came to see Brother Xiao for something urgent."
"Okay, then you young people can chat while I go out for a walk."
Old Mrs. Gu immediately made space for them and pushed the wheelchair swiftly to stroll outside the yard.
"Brother Xiao!"
Lao Wu came to the dining table and poured himself a glass of water, gulped it down, and then continued:
"The investigation into Song Baozhu and Wei Changsheng is making some progress!"
"What are those?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao's expression became serious, and Song Youyou also put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"I checked the household registration migration files, and I actually found something."
"Did you know? Song Baozhu and Wei Changsheng used to be from the same village!"
"Although the famine more than a decade ago did cause many children to become homeless, for these two to end up in the same village and be recognized and brought back at the same time is too strange!"
After hearing this, Song Youyou felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
It's really too much.
Moreover, when they were in the overseas Chinese store, they acted as if they didn't know me.
Isn't this just a case of trying to cover up one's own faults?
"I'm going out for a while!"
After hearing the news, Song Youyou could no longer sit still and stood up to go out.
"Don't worry." Gu Xiao held her, looking anxious, and said, "You are going to look for Wen Xiaorou, right?"
"Yes." Song Youyou nodded.
There was no evidence before, so she didn't take Wen Xiaorou seriously when she gave her a shot of prevention, thinking that she was overthinking.
Now that he had discovered something fishy and could prove that Wei Changsheng was suspicious, he might be able to convince his stubborn friend.
"Then I'll go with you."
"Hey wait, I want to go with you too." Lao Wu raised his hand.
Gu Xiao was a little curious about the fifth brother's reaction.
He knew Lao Wu well, having grown up with him. Although Lao Wu was a gossipy person, he was definitely not the kind of person who would be warm-hearted towards outsiders.
Seeing Gu Xiao's scrutiny, an unnatural look flashed across Lao Wu's face, and he faltered as he explained:
"Well, Wen Xiaorou and I are friends now. It's not strange for me to go with you to find my friend, right?"
"You also know Xiaorou?" Song Youyou also cast a curious look.
"Yes! I met her at the banquet yesterday. She said we were buddies!"
Song Youyou: ...This is something Wen Xiaorou would really do.
"Then let's go together."
The three of them went directly to the Xinhua Bookstore where Wen Xiaorou worked.
But when I arrived, I heard that Wen Xiaorou had just come to ask for leave.
"Taking leave? Then do you know why she asked for leave?"
"What else could it be?"
Ruan Qian, a shop assistant who was eavesdropping on the conversation, couldn't help but say sourly:
"I saw a man accompanying her here, so she must be doing something indecent!"
Hearing Ruan Qian's harsh words, Song Youyou frowned immediately.
