Chapter 93 The Disappearing Wife
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
The old man was dressed very elegantly, meticulously, and there seemed to be a few bodyguards and assistants in the distance.
His hair was gray and his face had deep wrinkles, but at this moment he was so happy that even his wrinkles smoothed out.
He took Mr. Jin's hand with gratitude and said excitedly: "Thanks to your daughter, my granddaughter was saved. I must thank you very much."
As he spoke, he waved to his assistant in the distance, and the assistant immediately handed him a card.
"There's five million on this card. It's just a small token of my appreciation. You must accept it!"
Pu Xi: “?”
Netizen: “?”
The Jin couple: “???”
Bai Qiuwu: "Wow!"
The Jin couple were completely dumbfounded. They hadn't even seen their daughter yet, but they had already encountered such a huge shock. They were completely confused.
The sophisticated old man wiped the tears from his eyes and expressed his sincere gratitude, "I only have this one granddaughter. She has a miserable life. Her parents died early in a car accident. She is my only relative in this world."
"I was usually busy with the company and didn't have time to take care of her. Unexpectedly, she was abducted by human traffickers. I really tried everything but couldn't find her. I was almost dying of anxiety."
"It's all thanks to your daughter. After she sold that damned human trafficker, she also brought my granddaughter out with her. That's how I was able to find the person. If it weren't for your daughter, I really don't know what I would have done."
As the old man spoke, tears began to fall again. He was dressed very luxuriously, but when he cried, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.
The Jin couple were a little dumbfounded by this sudden change. The light card in their hands seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they didn't know whether to take it or put it down.
"You, this is too valuable, I can't accept it..." Finally, it was Mr. Jin who spoke. He tried hard to push the card out. Although his eyes were full of reluctance, he still firmly refused.
The old man just smiled and didn't take the card. "Don't worry, this is what you deserve. To me, this amount of money is nothing, so it's really just a small token of gratitude, not respect."
"My little granddaughter is my only relative. In my eyes, my little granddaughter is a priceless treasure. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to find her no matter how much money I spend. So you must accept this money, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Also, don't worry about your daughter being prosecuted. I will find her the best lawyer and will definitely not let her be sentenced."
At this point, the old man's eyes became sharp, and he sneered through gritted teeth: "As for that damned human trafficker, I will make her pay the price she deserves."
Perhaps the millions in the card were too convincing, or perhaps the old man's demeanor was too convincing. In any case, when he said this, even though he didn't produce any evidence, it still made people inexplicably convinced.
At least the Jin couple were so happy that they cried tears of joy.
They can be said to have finally reaped the rewards of their hard work.
During the 40 days that their daughter was missing, they sold their house and car, his wife fell ill, and they spent all their savings. In fact, to be realistic, even if their daughter was found, they would not be able to live a life of ease and comfort as before.
Even the daughter faces the risk of lawsuit.
But now it's different.
With this card and this guarantee, they can look forward to a new life in the future.
After hearing this, there is actually no need to continue following. Mr. Jin's original wish was that his family could return to their previous good life, and now his wish has finally been fully realized.
However, Bai Qiuwu still took a camera and went to live broadcast the legendary girl so that everyone could witness her charm.
The girl didn't look much different from the one in the surveillance video. She didn't look as thin and tired as imagined. Her eyes were bright and she looked very smart.
She was also very happy to see her parents coming, and then there was another tear-jerking scene of family reunion.
Bai Qiuwu live-streamed for quite a while before quietly exiting without going forward to disturb their reunion.
It was not until she quit that I had time to watch the live broadcast room.
The number of people watching online is hundreds of thousands, which is already basic.
Bai Qiuwu calmly skipped over it, his eyes fixed on the swirling barrage of comments.
This incident was already explosive, and now it is even more explosive. It is magical from the beginning to the end, making people feel incredible and unbelievable.
If the police at the police station had not said something so convincing, I'm afraid someone would have questioned whether it was a script.
But even so, countless people were confused by the wind.
I don't know how to describe my current state of mind. I thought the girl sold out the traffickers, and I was so impressed. But then she just casually saved a fellow human being, a wealthy woman? And got a million-dollar reward? What the hell is this? Isn't this acting? Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to show this.
I originally thought this girl was unlucky. She was the only one abducted and trafficked, and her family was plunged into poverty. But now I'm unsure whether she's truly unlucky or not. Wasn't it too easy to get the money? And in the end, the only one who got hurt was the trafficker.
Putting the facts aside, aren't human traffickers pitiable? Does she deserve to be insulted just because she did something wrong? Is this the way the rich are above the law? Can't we just let the court make a fair ruling? She did commit a crime, but she doesn't deserve to be insulted like this, right?
"It's so good that the traffickers were injured. Those people can't even be called human beings. When you feel sorry for the traffickers, I'm already questioning your values. Are you a walking 500,000? The law itself has a sense of compassion. You can even bring this up on rich people. Are you a saint or are you just fishing?"
[I can only say that it's so satisfying that this wish has come true, so I feel sorry for the human traffickers. I hope you will also be abducted by human traffickers in the future. You really have no moral values at all. I never thought you would feel sorry for human traffickers.]
[It's true that a blessing in disguise is a curse. Who could have imagined that being trafficked could lead to so many problems? Every development was beyond my expectations. This is not a wish come true. I even feel like I'm watching a TV series with constant twists and turns. It's good, I love it, and I'm following it.]
…
Hundreds of thousands of people are watching the live broadcast. Although it does not mean that hundreds of thousands of people will post barrages, the number of people who post barrages is definitely not a small number.
With so many people expressing their opinions, it means that there is absolutely no way to unify their views. Soon, people started arguing, with various thoughts and world views clashing, and everyone arguing about their own reasons, and no one was willing to give in.
Of course, Bai Qiuwu would not try to persuade these people and ask for trouble, nor was she prepared to express her own values. She took advantage of the fact that these people were arguing and quickly said a few words to Pu Xi.
"Are we going to announce the next list right here?" Bai Qiuwu asked Pu Xi in a low voice.
Pu Xi nodded at her, raised two fingers, and made an OK gesture.
Bai Qiuwu understood what he meant. Pu Xi told her to bring out the two people they had discussed before. "OK" meant that he had agreed on those two people and they would come to the live broadcast room.
Bai Qiuwu also nodded to show that he understood.
She didn't look at the noisy and chaotic comments. She picked up her phone, took a look at the information, and then talked to herself in the comments.
She and Pu Xi have also discussed their views on live wish-making in the past few days, and they just announced it now.
"Xiao Jin's wish has come to an end. I won't continue to pay attention to the rest. Netizens who are interested can follow his account. He also has an account dedicated to broadcasting his daily life. You can find it by looking through the live broadcast replay."
"Let's talk about something else next. I already mentioned it during the last live broadcast. At the end of this live broadcast, we will announce the list of people we have selected who need to make wishes."
"Because there are so many people who have signed up, we have an internal screening process. The more urgent ones will be picked out first and we will all follow up to realize them together. However, because there are so many people making wishes, it is unlikely that all of them will be brought to the live broadcast room."
"So, apart from the people we specifically mentioned, anyone else who wants to make a wish will be contacted after I get off the air and can make their wish."
"Yes, what I mean is that everyone who comes here to make a wish can have their wish fulfilled, provided that you are truly determined to fulfill this wish. Otherwise, the wish may be fulfilled more slowly. I have said this many times."
"Then, among all the people who come to make wishes every day or within a certain period of time, I will pick out a few of the more urgent or important ones and put them up for live broadcast. The others can just work with me privately to resolve them."
Bai Qiuwu had a hard time explaining this, mainly because the rules were rather confusing to explain, and many netizens didn't understand and raised questions.
Bai Qiuwu also answered them one by one very patiently.
After her serious answer, everyone finally understood what it meant.
Simply put, there are no limits on wishes.
Anyone can make a wish through private message, it only costs 5 yuan, and getting a reply means that Bai Qiuwu has agreed to fulfill his wish.
If you don't get a reply, the 5 yuan will be refunded and you will also be given a reason why the wish was not granted.
In short, it should be as humane as possible.
Then, in order to ensure there is live broadcast content, Bai Qiuwu will pick out the more eye-catching ones from each group of people who make wishes, and take everyone to visit them until their wishes are fulfilled.
This not only ensures the speed of realizing the wish, but also ensures the content of the live broadcast. It is the final result that Bai Qiuwu and Pu Xi discussed for several days.
This result was a huge surprise for netizens. At that moment, all thoughts about human traffickers were forgotten.
After all, who cares more about other people's affairs than their own?
So many of these wishes have come true, and some of them even watched the whole process until their wishes came true, which made them very excited.
Who wouldn't want to spend $5 to make a wish worth a million? After all, daydreaming only costs $5, and what if it comes true?
Even if the 5 yuan is not realized, it can still be refunded. Even if it cannot be refunded, it is only 5 yuan.
Many people have complained before that it was too difficult to get this spot, but now it is fully open and there is no need to fight for it.
Just a few short sentences drove netizens crazy. The background of Bai Qiuwu's live broadcast was flashing wildly, and those were all private messages that came in hastily.
I don’t know how many people crowded over at this moment, wanting to realize their wishes.
As for those who were chosen for the live broadcast, they were chosen. Even if they were unwilling, they had to grit their teeth and agree in order to fulfill their wish.
After all, if you make a wish directly in a private message, it may not come true, and the other person may refuse. But if you broadcast it live with so many viewers watching, even if it is just to attract attention, it will definitely come true.
Bai Qiuwu glanced at the backstage of the instant 99+ and quickly explained: "There are too many messages and the reply is slow. It may take several days to get a reply. This is normal."
"Now let's talk about the wishes we've selected. This batch includes two people."
"A netizen named 'Good Things Come Together' said his wife had been missing for a long time and he wanted to find her."
"These are the materials uploaded by this netizen. Please bear with me. Also, is this netizen watching the live broadcast now? Please come out and let me know."
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a comment with the ID "Good Things Come in Pairs" popped up.
【Good things come in pairs: I'm here.】
Bai Qiuwu put a vest on him and showed the information on his phone to the camera while saying, "Tell me about your situation yourself."
Good things come in pairs: My wife and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up in the same village. We have been married for one year, dating for nine years, and have been together for 10 years. But just last month, my wife disappeared.
[Good things come in pairs: I don’t know where she went. I called the police, but they said my wife might have left on her own. I didn’t believe it. I asked many people, but none of them knew where my wife had gone.]
[Good things come in pairs: I really have no other choice. I miss her very much. I love her very much. I want to find her so much. So my wish is that I hope I can find my wife.]
After the netizen finished speaking, Bai Qiuwu added, "The information this guy provided includes the police report and records of contacting relatives and friends, and they all say they have never seen his wife."
"So let's call this the Vanishing Wife."
Bai Qiuwu could feel the strong obsession of this netizen. He probably didn't lie, at least he didn't lie about his urgent desire to find his wife.
Therefore, Bai Qiuwu agreed to this wish without hesitation.
After agreeing to the wish, she carefully sensed it and was a little surprised: "Your obsession is very strong, and you also prefer causality. The wish should be fulfilled soon. Hmm... probably in the next few days, within three days."
"And because you've probably done a lot of good deeds, your wish will likely be fulfilled, which means you should be more satisfied with the outcome."
Good things come in pairs: Really?! I'm so happy! As long as I can find my wife, I will definitely thank you very much!
Bai Qiuwu scratched his head: "No need to be so polite."
