Chapter Seventeen: Pei Yuli is Back
On the electronic monitoring screen, two familiar figures stood at the door.
One of them was being held captive by the other.
One of them is Tan Zhixu, who just left without saying goodbye.
The other is Liu Changyuan, who has disappeared without a trace.
Liu Changyuan was held captive by Tan Zhixu and made to stand at the door.
Liu Changyuan's expression was extremely ferocious, and he kept cursing incessantly.
"Let go of me now! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"
"Watch out, or I'll have someone kill you!"
Liu Changyuan kept threatening him.
Tan Zhixu simply pretended not to see it.
Continue ringing the bell slowly.
Xu Yihuan was genuinely stunned for a moment when she saw the two people.
She really hadn't expected this scenario.
Tan Zhixu didn't leave? Liu Changyuan is still here too?
Xu Yihuan and Wu Qingqing both witnessed this scene.
Wu Qingqing's pupils dilated suddenly, and her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched into fists.
How could this be?!
What's Liu Changyuan doing here?!
Shouldn't he have already taken the things and left?!
Who is the person next to him?
It looks familiar.
She was still wearing the school uniform of Yuncheng No.1 Middle School.
Within a second, eight hundred thoughts flashed through Wu Qingqing's mind.
While Wu Qingqing was still brainstorming, Xu Yihuan unexpectedly opened the door.
Wu Qingqing subconsciously reached out her hand, but before she could stop them, the two people who were just on the screen appeared in front of her, looking radiant.
Uncle Liu was also stunned when he saw Wu Qingqing.
They clearly didn't expect her to appear here.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Xu Yihuan probably already had an idea in mind.
Wu Qingqing probably thought Liu Changyuan had escaped, and Liu Changyuan probably never expected to come back here.
The only person who is honest and happy right now is Wang Ma.
When Wang Ma saw Tan Zhixu, she remembered that she had forgotten something.
He clapped his hands immediately.
"Oh, I remember now, miss! I was just about to say that."
"Actually, Tan didn't leave! He said he went for a walk near the entrance!"
Wang Ma was very happy to see Tan Zhixu.
After all, she really liked this little boy.
She's so pretty and polite, and most importantly, she's the first new friend Miss Huanhuan has brought home!
When Xu Yihuan heard what Wang Ma said, she almost burst out laughing out loud, unable to hide her puzzled expression.
It seems that Liu Changyuan happened to run into Tan Zhixu, who was "taking a walk" outside, while he was on his escape, and was captured by Tan Zhixu.
That's great, she doesn't even need to check the surveillance footage, she caught them red-handed.
It was exactly what she had expected.
Xu Yihuan's expression froze perfectly.
"What's going on? Uncle Liu, what are you doing here?"
Tan Zhixu released his grip on Liu Changyuan's hand and put his hands in his pockets.
He said casually, "I was just walking in your backyard when I ran into this guy. He seemed suspicious, so I brought him here."
You could faintly hear a hint of pride in Tan Zhixu's voice.
Xu Yihuan smiled slightly.
"This was our family's previous driver, so I don't think he would do anything bad."
"Please come in and sit down."
Liu Changyuan had an unyielding and stubborn look on his face.
Seeing Xu Yihuan say that, I thought she was defending him.
She immediately burst into tears and began to complain.
"Miss Xu, I'm leaving tomorrow, and yet someone still bullies me like this today. I'm really unlucky!"
Xu Yihuan is soft-hearted. After hearing him cry and wail like that, she might not even have the heart to send him to feed the pigs.
Xu Yihuan then revealed a troubled expression.
Then, subtly changing the subject, he asked, "Uncle Liu, what are you doing in the back garden at this hour?"
Liu Changyuan was stunned for a moment, his crying expression freezing, clearly not expecting Xu Yihuan to suddenly ask such a question.
He hesitated for a moment, then his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Wu Qingqing.
"I……"
How should he respond? Did he steal the maid's job in the middle of the night to trim the flowers?
Wu Qingqing noticed Liu Changyuan's gaze and glared at him fiercely.
That beast! It's one thing to show his tricks, but why is he even looking at me?
Fortunately, they succeeded in the end.
Once she gets her hands on the stuff and the college entrance exam is over, she'll see how arrogant Xu Yihuan can be then!
Wu Qingqing held Xu Yihuan's hand.
"Oh dear, I asked Uncle Liu to help me find something."
"I lost a bracelet when I came here last time."
"I told Uncle Liu to come and help me look for it."
"I was thinking that if I looked for it at night, it wouldn't interfere with the servants' work."
Wu Qingqing was a little nervous, but she still tried to remain calm.
Xu Yihuan tilted her head: "Really?"
Wu Qingqing forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly: "Of course."
Tan Zhixu stood to the side with his hands in his pockets, looking at Xu Yihuan thoughtfully.
Xu Yihuan nodded: "Okay then, let's go check the surveillance footage. After all, my academic talisman is quite important, and it can't just disappear like that."
As soon as Xu Yihuan finished speaking, Wu Qingqing and Liu Changyuan's hearts jumped again.
The study was a small space, and besides, Xu Yihuan's things were just scrambling out on the table.
The surveillance cameras must have captured everything clearly.
"Could you have left your academic talisman somewhere else? Should we look for it again more carefully to avoid wasting time?"
Wu Qingqing held Xu Yihuan's hand, her voice trembling with nervousness.
Xu Yihuan impatiently pushed Wu Qingqing's hand away.
"Oh, come on, you installed security cameras in the study just so I wouldn't lose things, right? Now there's an easier way, why don't you go there?"
Wu Qingqing nervously licked her lips; things had come to this.
They had no choice but to abandon Liu Shubao.
As for academic talismans, if you really can't get one this time, there will be another chance.
Wu Qingqing then chuckled twice.
He echoed Xu Yihuan's words.
"That's right, Huanhuan's consideration was appropriate."
Xu Yihuan was too lazy to listen to her flattery.
I stood up and started walking upstairs.
Just then, the sound of a car engine roared outside again.
Judging from the sound, the car's performance is probably not bad.
The roaring sound once again interrupted Xu Yihuan's steps as she was about to go upstairs.
The door to the house was not closed this time.
Xu Yihuan was too lazy to go out again.
He propped his head up with one hand while leaning back on the sofa.
He glanced lazily toward the door.
Is this another savior that Wu Qingqing has brought in?
I didn't expect Wu Qingqing to have such a wide network of connections.
But this was a misunderstanding on Wu Qingqing's part, because she didn't know him either.
He glanced at Uncle Liu, who secretly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xu Yihuan stared fixedly at the doorway.
Before long, a tall figure came into view.
The person who arrived was wearing a complete suit, and among a pile of school uniforms, he looked incredibly imposing.
After seeing the person's face clearly, Xu Yihuan subconsciously gripped the armrest of the sofa.
His expression tightened.
It was Pei Yuli.
He actually came back today?
