Chapter 49 Chapter 49 See with your eyes
squeak.
There was a slight noise outside the yard. Qiao Wu was more sensitive in an unfamiliar environment. She looked up and saw Lu Yingchi standing behind the iron gate, half of his face hidden in the darkness, staring at her intently.
"No more talking." She said to Lu Jinzhi in the video, "Lu Yingchi might not be used to it. I'll go check on him."
Lu Jinzhi: "If you hold on for a while, you'll be quiet."
Qiao Wu didn't respond. He hung up the phone with a smile, then stood up and walked to the iron gate. "When did you come?"
Lu Yingchi said expressionlessly: "When you were very good friends."
At this time, Qiao Wu suddenly realized that what Lu Ning said was right. Lu Yingchi's hearing was really better than that of ordinary people. He could even hear this.
"Can't sleep?" she asked.
"This place." Lu Yingchi stood at the door without moving. He subconsciously glanced at the yard as he spoke. When he saw that there was no one else there, he said, "Who can fall asleep?"
Qiao Wu: "Then go sleep in the car."
"How can you sleep in a car?"
After he finished speaking, there was no response from Qiao Wu. The other party just looked at him quietly.
Lu Yingchi looked away: "I just want to ask, you used to be more delicate than me, how come you can get used to everything now?"
He maintained the mentality of learning from Qiao Wu. Many of the bad habits he developed in his early years were learned from her. In the past, she was more like a delicate and wealthy lady than he was.
Qiao Wu never expected others to see the same thing as Lu Jinzhi, nor did he want to tell them about these strange things. He said, "People change. Don't keep clinging to the past. Lu Yingchi, you have to learn to move forward."
"I've been walking." Lu Yingchi frowned, feeling a bit annoyed at not being able to find the way. "You're walking too fast."
Qiao Wu found it funny.
She has walked so many more years than Lu Yingchi, so of course she will be faster than him.
"What does it have to do with me? Can't you walk?" She half-leaned against the iron gate, her voice softer than the night wind. "Lu Yingchi, I'm telling you the truth. I won't stay at the Lu family forever, nor will I be by your side every moment."
Lu Yingchi's face was filled with rage: "So you really want to go find Zhong Hejing."
"If it's not Zhong Hejing, it could be someone else, or even myself," Qiao Wu said. "When that time comes, you'll have to face the difficulties and the unknown on your own. You have to walk every path on your own. Do you want to live under my wings forever?"
She raised her hand and compared Lu Yingchi's height: "But you are already much taller than me, I can't protect you."
"Who asked you to protect me?" Lu Yingchi stood up straighter. "I can protect you."
"What are you relying on to protect me?" Qiao Wu followed up his question and asked, "Let's change our thinking. If I was carsick today, I had a fever, I didn't like the food here, I wasn't used to the environment here, and I couldn't sleep, what would you do for me?"
Lu Yingchi opened his lips slightly, but no sound came out.
When he couldn't sleep, he would subconsciously come to Qiao Wu, but what if she did the same?
The first thing he thought of was to take Qiao Wu away and bring her to a place where she could sleep well, but outside this place was a town, and apart from the time cost, there was no place where his princess could sleep well.
He realized that he was no better than a bowl of cloudy sugar water.
At this moment, his shoulders, which had been upright all the time, finally collapsed, and his whole body became confused.
"I don't know." He was frustrated, but helpless.
I want to be angry but I can only be angry at myself.
"You said there would be time for me to find it."
"I'm not leaving tomorrow. You have plenty of time. I won't leave before then. Didn't I bring you here today?" Qiao Wu patted his shoulder. "Don't do something just because I ask you to. Think about what you want to do for yourself."
"You always have a lot of great ideas to say."
Lu Yingchi said in a muffled voice, "But I don't want to listen."
"Then remember it and listen to it again when you want to." Qiao Wu yawned. "Do you want to go back to sleep or sleep in the car?"
I don't want to choose either one.
Seeing his resistance, Qiao Wu said again: "If you don't sleep, you can sit until dawn, but I want to sleep. I still have to work tomorrow."
After saying that, she really turned around and went back into the house.
Lu Yingchi quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait."
Qiao Wu lowered his eyes and pulled his hand out of his palm: "Don't fight with the opposite sex at every turn."
When you are a child, you are a child, and when you grow up, you are grown up.
How come he still can't tell the difference?
It would have been fine if Qiao Wu hadn't said anything, but as soon as he did, Lu Yingchi felt as if he had grasped something extraordinary. He stared blankly at his palm.
"Anything else?"
Lu Yingchi moved his other hand. The touch in his hand made him realize the purpose of his visit. He spread out his palm and said, "This is for you."
In the middle of the broad palm is a small dog pendant, a furry husky.
Young Master Lu doesn't seem like the type of person who would buy something like this.
"Where did it come from?"
"A classmate gave it to me." Lu Yingchi said vaguely, "I don't have any use for it. The car keys were taken away by that monkey. You can use it."
Qiao Wu felt quite at ease with this small gift and took the pendant without thinking: "It looks quite like you."
"Who are you calling a dog?"
Seeing that she liked it very much, Lu Yingchi's depressed mood finally improved a lot tonight. He didn't argue with her. He put his hands in his pockets and said, "Okay, go to sleep."
"Um."
Qiao Wu turned around, walked a few steps, and came back to close the iron door and lock it.
Lu Yingchi: "..."
Who are you guarding against?
He watched Qiao Wu's back disappear before returning to the villager's house.
It was better than being in a narrow car. He leaned over the bed and smelled nothing, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the sky by the window.
Qiao Wu said the stars were beautiful.
No, I can't think according to her way of thinking.
He has to protect her.
Young Master Lu banged his head against the wall, wondering who he was!
The next morning, everyone packed up and went to the nearby uncultivated barren mountains to check out the terrain. Qiao Wu had asked Guo Liyan to contact a geological expert last night, and today they were going to check out the development possibilities of this area.
Lu Yingchi had indeed stayed up late. No matter how uncomfortable he was with the late night, he couldn't help but fall asleep. However, he had to go to the airport in the afternoon, so he didn't want to spend the morning catching up on sleep. Hearing others get up, he got up too.
Now I feel groggy when I wake up, so I move a small chair and sit in the shade of the window sill to catch up on my sleep.
After a while, the village party secretary pushed open the gate and walked in with a few people: "Chairman Qiao, the experts are here."
Three people came, two middle-aged men and a young girl who was fully armed.
Qiao Wu stood up to greet them, then noticed that the girl's eyes were always on her. She looked back and saw that the girl was carrying a backpack, wearing sunglasses on her head as decoration, wearing overalls and boots, and her skin was a very healthy wheat color.
Meeting her gaze, the girl did not avoid it and continued to look at her straight.
"This is my student. He came here to gain experience." said one of the geologists.
The girl extended her hand towards Qiao Wu: "Cong Yi."
The other party's scrutiny was too obvious for Qiao Wu to ignore, but she only raised her eyebrows slightly without saying anything more: "Qiao Wu."
The village chief stuffed a bottle of water into the mouth and said, "Since everyone is ready, let's go now while the sun is still low. We can come back and rest at noon to avoid getting sunburned."
Qiao Wu had no objection and called out to Lu Yingchi who was about to fall asleep.
Because it was an uncultivated mountain road, we had to use a stick to clear the weeds on the roadside as we walked along.
Qiao Wu was controlling the drone and had no hands free, so she walked behind. In front of her were Guo Liyan and Lu Yingchi, who were helping to clear the way for her.
When she stopped to rest because she was tired, Guo Liyan, who was carrying water for her, would hand it to her first.
These are what an assistant should do, and Qiao Wu accepted them with peace of mind.
The road was a bit narrow, and everyone was sitting scattered under the trees. Qiao Wu was looking down at a small map on a piece of paper when someone suddenly sat down next to him and asked, "Do you usually have people serve you like this when you go out?"
Hearing the girl's voice, Qiao Wu didn't even raise his head: "Is there a problem?"
Cong Yi said, "I've seen a lot of rich people like you. You talk about doing charity work, but it's just a pretext to make money. You say you're here to investigate, but in reality you're surrounded by a bunch of bodyguards, and you just sit there and wait for food and clothing, just to put on an act for the media."
She finished speaking and didn't wait for Qiao Wu to reply. She said proudly, "I guess I was right."
Qiao Wu didn't answer but asked, "Can you fly a drone?"
"Yes, for what?"
The next second, the drone controller was stuffed into Cong Yi's hand.
She looked at Qiao Wu in shock: "What are you going to do?"
"Aren't you here with your teacher to gain experience? I'll give you a chance." Qiao Wu stood up and broke off some branches from the surrounding area. He lowered his head to look at her and said with a smile, "Let me see what you, who rely solely on yourselves, can accomplish."
The village chief in front was already asking if we could leave.
Qiao Wu responded and walked over there, leaving Cong Yi holding the controller in a daze.
He also said to Guo Liyan: "Just keep going forward, don't look back, and don't show me the way."
Guo Liyan heard the conversation between the two, but he did not understand the girl's inexplicable hostility towards Qiao Wu. He just subconsciously listened to his boss, nodded, and quickly walked to the front.
Qiao Wu didn't turn around, nor did he look at Cong Yi again.
After reacting, Cong Yi cursed inwardly and hurried to catch up, but there was only Qiao Wu in front of her. Qiao Wu looked thin, but he was actually walking very fast, and she couldn't catch up at all.
And although the grass had been cleared by the people in front, it grew too dense and returned to its original state in a short while. She had to walk carefully while looking at the road with her head down, and soon she fell far behind.
When the group came to a pond and stopped, she followed them breathlessly, not even pretending to be friendly. As soon as she caught up with Qiao Wu, she said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll smash your drone?"
"Go ahead." Qiao Wu opened the payment code on his phone. "It supports cash scanning and card swiping, and my wasted time is calculated based on hourly wages."
“…”
After waiting for half a minute and not seeing the girl smashing things, Qiao Wu put away his phone and took the drone controller in his own hand. He looked the girl over from head to toe with the same eyes as the man had looked at her before, and sneered: "You are not much better since you don't have anyone to serve you."
"you!"
"I introduced myself at the beginning. You can call me Chairman Qiao or Qiao Wu, but don't call me 'the likes of you.'" Qiao Wu didn't look at her again. Instead, he retracted the drone and continued, "Don't mistake impoliteness for personality."
"Cong Yi!" the geologist called from the bottom of the pool, "Come down and take a look."
Cong Yi glared at Qiao Wu, and became even more depressed when she found that he didn't look at her from beginning to end, and slid down the path next to him.
"Chairman, who is that person? Do we need to deal with it?" Guo Liyan discovered the conflict between the two and walked over to ask.
"No need." Qiao Wu didn't take it seriously. "She's just a little girl."
She handed the drone to Guo Liyan and walked away.
"How is it?" She looked around. "Will digging around here affect the water quality?"
If it is to be developed, the surrounding area will definitely have to undergo a lot of transformation. The water source below this pond has always been clear. If it is affected, there will be no point in developing it.
The geologist nodded. "Just don't get too close and don't start construction upstream. Protect this section before breaking ground. Don't build anything too tall here, as it will affect the nearby vegetation."
Qiao Wu nodded.
Cong Yi squatted by the water, observing the water quality, and said, "Capitalists should just manage the money, not the water source and vegetation."
"Hey." Lu Yingchi, who was sitting on the rock, stood up with a sullen face. "You have a big mouth, but you can't speak properly? What's with that tone?"
"Hey, hey, hey." The geologist was immediately overwhelmed and hurriedly said, "Everyone, please don't offend the harmony. Congyi, just focus on your work!"
Then he said to Qiao Wu, "She's young and a little spoiled. Maybe it's too hot today. She's not usually like this."
"My younger brother is also young." Qiao Wu said with a smile, "He has been spoiled by his family. He didn't sleep well today and is a bit grumpy. Please bear with him."
"He and I are not the same kind of people." Cong Yi sneered, "He's just a rich but brainless idiot."
The tone sounded a little strange.
Qiao Wu couldn't help but look at Cong Yi a few more times.
Lu Yingchi rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, come on, tell me again?!"
Cong Yi also put the tools aside and stood up: "Come on, hit me if you dare. If you touch me, I will twist your head off."
"Oh my god." Several village officials were completely confused by the sudden confrontation between the two. "What's going on? What's going on? Stop arguing."
Qiao Wu, however, was still standing there as if nothing had happened, cheerfully saying, "It's okay, the kids are just playing around."
He also pulled the two geologists closer to him to prevent them from being affected.
She tilted her head and asked, "Where is your student from?"
"Just like you guys."
Qiao Wu nodded: "The family looks good."
The clothes that the girl wore were all branded, and the watch on her wrist was worth at least seven figures.
"Her family is rich," the geologist said. "Her brother is the boss of the Qin Group. You should have heard of him."
Qiao Wu understood now: "To be precise, it's not that I've heard of her. I'm very familiar with her brother."
No wonder he was so hostile to her as soon as he arrived. It turned out that he was targeting her.
Qiao Wu looked around, picked up a long stick that everyone had just brought over, and tried his hand on it.
The two men were still in a stalemate at the opposite pond. It was the first time that Lu Yingchi met someone who dared to be so arrogant in front of him and even wanted to fight with him!
Just as he walked over, he suddenly realized that Qiao Wu was still there. He subconsciously glanced in her direction again, frowning and stopping: "It seems that academic qualifications can't stop a person's character. There is no such thing as a wild chicken that bites people for no reason."
Seeing this, Cong Yi mocked: "Coward."
"Stop talking!" the geologist yelled. "Go back if you don't obey!"
At this moment, he saw Qiao Wu, who was holding a stick, move. She walked to the edge of the pool and used the stick to pull Lu Yingchi in: "Come back."
Lu Yingchi endured it, but still walked back.
Seeing this, Cong Yi was about to squat down to pick up the tool, but before he could bend down, the long stick was pressed against his chest.
She looked at Qiao Wu angrily and raised her hand to open the stick, but the stick seemed to have eyes, it circled around her hand and returned to its starting point.
But because she was standing at the edge of the pool, she almost fell in and had to quickly steady herself.
This time, she was pushed back a few steps by the stick, and her back hit the damp, mossy stone wall.
"Qiao Wu!" She looked at the stick, "You want to hit me?!"
"If I can beat your brother, why can't I beat you?" Qiao Wu put a little more strength in his hands. "Cong Yi, if you can't explain the reason today, I won't let you leave here."
"What brother?" Lu Yingchi asked in confusion, "Besides that idiot Qin Tianrui, who else have you beaten?"
Zhong Min: "I heard that President Qin has a younger sister, but she doesn't have the same surname?"
Cong Yi angrily said, "Who wants to have the same last name as him?"
Qiao Wu smiled and said, "Then take off your watch and I can return it to him for you."
After hearing this, Cong Yi knew that she had guessed who he was, and said coldly: "You are indeed the same kind of person as Qin Lian!"
When she was talking to her parents on the phone that day, she heard that Qin Tianrui had been beaten severely and had not spoken for several days since he came back.
After asking someone, I found out what happened on the Zero Ring Line.
But her relationship with Qin Tianrui was not that good, so she was happy to see it happen whether she was beaten or not, and she even downloaded the video to watch it every day.
But it was not until she saw the photos uploaded from the charity reception that she realized that Qiao Wu was in cahoots with her brother. No wonder he beat Qin Tianrui like that.
"You keep saying people like you, you passersby." Qiao Wu continued to press against her chest. "You've traveled all over the world, but why are you still so narrow-minded? Have you ever seen me before? How can you judge me?"
"No need to see you."
"Oh." Qiao Wu raised his chin and said to Lu Yingchi, "Call the police and tell them that there's someone here with a bad temper and questionable values. I suspect she's a murderer and I'm calling the police now."
Cong Yi: "Who killed someone?"
Qiao Wu laughed and said, "You can tell who I am with just words, but I can't say you're a murderer? Don't be so hypocritical."
Only then did Cong Yi realize that she couldn't win the argument with this person. She tried to grab the stick, but it was dodged. She got angry and said, "Let me go!"
"No." Qiao Wu suppressed his smile. "Since you know I beat your brother, you should know how I beat him. The saying of not beating girls doesn't apply to me. If you provoke me, I will beat you anyway."
"Do you know how much money Qin Lian transferred to me last time I beat Qin Tianrui?" Qiao Wu glanced up and down, as if examining a commodity. "How much do you think you're worth this time?"
"I've got insurance all over my body! Just try to hit me!"
"It doesn't matter." Qiao Wu pulled out a card and threw it on the ground. "I can afford it."
Everyone around was shocked.
Is this the confidence of rich people?
Even Lu Yingchi has never been so arrogant.
He found that when Qiao Wu got angry, he was even more terrifying than him.
"Speak now." Qiao Wu lifted Cong Yi's chin with his stick. "You can't tell me the reason why you hate me, so just stay here today."
Cong Yi's back was soaked by the water seeping from the mountain, and her face was directly illuminated by the sunlight. She closed her eyes in some impatience.
"Anyone who is with Qin Lian is not a good person!"
"Interesting." Qiao Wu chuckled, "It seems you are even dumber than Qin Tianrui."
"You're comparing me to that loser Qin Tianrui?!"
"Qin Tianrui at least knows who he relies on for survival and will restrain himself in front of Qin Lian. You, on the other hand, still can't tell who the Qin family relies on." Qiao Wu said coldly, "If I were your brother, I would kick you out of the house and let you experience what a truly ordinary person is."
"My parents will never forgive him!"
"So what? Qin Lian is the boss of the Qin family now." Qiao Wu glared at her. "As for those who regard him as an enemy, why should we care? It's just a word of forgiveness. What do you hate about him? Hate his dominance, his control over you, and his inhumanity?"
Qiao Wu poked her face with a stick and said, "Wake up, rich people, just keep talking nonsense. You can stand here and study the major you like, and fly around the world, all because your brother has taken on all the responsibilities that you should bear."
"You're right. A wicked rich man like me won't let you go." Qiao Wu said naturally, "I'm going to let you experience what it's like to be bullied by me as an ordinary person. You just stand here today until I'm satisfied."
As he spoke, he waved to the bodyguards he had brought with him: "Each of you get a stick and hold her like this."
How could the bodyguards dare to say no?
"Chairman Qiao," the geologist said, surprised, "this isn't a good idea."
"Don't worry." After letting the bodyguard take over, Qiao Wu freed up his hands and continued with his original work. He said softly, "Her brother asked me to take care of his disobedient brothers and sisters at home. They have had it easy for too long, and it's time for them to suffer a little."
Then he raised his voice and said, "Just focus on your own things. I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
Cong Yi was blocked against the wall by two bodyguards, feeling both sun-kissed and cold.
They just watched helplessly, and no one dared to look at her again.
Ahhhh! I'm so angry!
She stood like this for an hour. After everyone had left, Qiao Wu walked up to her and signaled the two bodyguards to let go.
Cong Yi's legs felt a little weak and he had no strength left in his body. He almost fell into the water.
But he was supported by Qiao Wu who came over: "Are you behaving yourself now?"
Cong Yi glared at her.
"Now I give you two choices. One is to follow me, shut up, do your job honestly, and see how people like me work."
Qiao Wu helped her to the open space and said, "Secondly, I will call Qin Lian right now and tell you to get out of my sight."
"I'm here with the teacher!"
"Didn't you say that rich people are like this? Don't you know the methods of the rich? I am the biggest financial sponsor here now. If you make me angry, will the people in the village let you stay here? What can your teacher do?"
Qiao Wu picked up a bottle of unused water from the side and threw it on her. He put the hat on her, then pinched her face and lifted it up, making her look into his eyes: "If you don't have a brain, don't use your brain to see the world. Use your eyes to see, understand?"
