Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The Sixth Drawing
The "Orange Biting Its Tail" on the public screen was still asking, but unfortunately Pei Qing was unable to give any answer.
As she fell silent, the public screen became lively again. Some viewers from the forum were particularly enthusiastic, and even said to "Orange Biting Tail" on the public screen:
[I see that it looks like it’s daytime in the drawing. Stop squatting on the live broadcast and go home to ask your cousin who you just found if he really did something wrong.]
[If it is fake, please come to the live broadcast room and say so. ]
[It’s hard to say. Children who were trafficked didn’t receive a good education. We should train them well in the future.]
[It’s open, it’s open, do you think it’s true or false? 】
…
Lin Cheng sent a message to Qian Ya, but Qian Ya never replied.
She jumped up and down at home and called Qian Ya again, but Qian Ya didn't answer.
What were you doing? Did you really go to ask Zhu Wang? Could Zhu Wang really have done something wrong?
He has a good temper and doesn't seem like the type to fight with others, right?
＊
Qian Ya rushed to Zhu Wang's room, knocked on the door, then quickly turned it open and walked in.
Zhu Wang was awakened by the sound of the door opening and looked at Qian Ya.
Seeing Qian Ya coming over aggressively, he stuffed his phone under the quilt and asked hesitantly, "Sister, why did you come here suddenly?"
Seeing him at a loss, Qian Ya managed to calm down, glanced at the phone under the quilt, and asked softly, "Who are you messaging? A friend?"
Zhu Wang nodded.
This was his brother who had just been found after ten years of searching. Qian Ya couldn't be impatient. She could only guide him patiently: "Everyone is at home recently. If you have any friends, you can invite them to your home to play. Let's all get to know each other."
As a young person, you came to City A alone. If there is any problem, it must be related to your social circle.
Zhu Wang blushed: "No, not really a friend."
Qian Ya waited for him to continue.
Zhu Wang: "She never replied to my message."
Qian Ya asked him for his phone: "Let me see it."
Zhu Wang: "Ah? Oh."
He has a soft personality to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't be so easily entangled by Lin Cheng.
Zhu Wang handed the phone to Qian Ya. Qian Ya took a look and found that he had only been in contact with a person named Sun Xiuxiu recently. However, Sun Xiuxiu had not replied to his messages since the 7th.
Qian Ya flipped through the chat records again and found that they could not be connected.
Qian Ya's heart was beating fast. Of course she believed in her wife's drawing.
She looked at Zhu Wang, who was looking at her with a nervous expression.
Qian Ya heard herself ask calmly: "Have you deleted the chat history?"
Zhu Wang: "I deleted a little bit, but it was all deleted before."
He looked at Qian Ya, his dark eyes filled with confusion.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Ya sat down and thought about it. Since she was not familiar with her cousin yet, it would be better not to force him to speak. It would be best to let him speak it out himself.
Qian Ya put her arm around Zhu Wang's shoulders, patted him a few times, and said, "Your uncle and aunt have been looking for you for ten years. My mother often mentions you at home. Everyone loves you very much. If there is anything, you must speak up, understand?"
Zhu Wang had never heard anyone say they loved him so bluntly before.
His eyes were sore and his face was red.
My dad, mom, aunt and sister are so nice.
Qian Ya looked at his expression, pondered it carefully, and then pointed at the phone and asked, "Is she the girl you like?"
Zhu Wang shook his head repeatedly, then remembered something and said, "I don't like her."
Qian Ya had a look on her face that said "don't lie to me", and Zhu Wang felt so nervous that he couldn't sit still.
Zhu Wang: "I, I...I just want to ask her something!"
Qian Ya asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Wang pinched the corner of the quilt.
Qian Ya added: "I know you've suffered a lot, but now that you're home, if there's anything, your parents, my mom, and I will find a way to help you! Even if you want to chase after a girl, I can help you!"
She assured him, "As long as the girl has a good personality, I can help you find a solution. Don't worry, I can keep it a secret for you until you succeed in courting her. I will never let anyone laugh at you."
Zhu Wang: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at, sister."
He hesitated for a while before asking, "Will you really keep it a secret for me?"
Qian Ya nodded.
Zhu Wang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Sun Xiuxiu and I took someone else's gold bracelet..."
＊
Pei Qing knew nothing about Qian Ya's family affairs.
She found her three most recent drawings.
One photo shows a man handcuffed in the trunk of a police car, one shows a young woman with delicate makeup lying on the bed, and the other shows a young man and woman standing separately on a bus stop.
Pei Qing looked at the drawing carefully. Could it be that they knew each other?
Something must have happened to this man, or at least it was related to him, otherwise the police wouldn't have come to his door.
Pei Qing thought about it, opened the tablet, picked up the pen and started scribbling.
An hour later, it was already past twelve o'clock and a new day had begun, but Pei Qing still had no inspiration.
Painting requires a lot of feeling, and it is even more necessary for someone with super special painting skills like Pei Qing.
She sat on the bay window with a computer desk in front of her. One of her legs was resting on the desk, and she felt that no matter how she lay there, it was not right.
After trying several different postures and still feeling uncomfortable, Pei Qing ordered takeout and started placing an order for wine.
Plum wine, hawthorn wine, Tsingtao beer...and some Cider and vodka.
The wine was delivered at one o'clock in the morning.
Pei Qing took over a large bag of clinking wine bottles and placed them one by one on the bay window.
With a "bang", the bottle cap flew to the ground.
Pei Qing drank bottle after bottle generously without feeling anything.
He can drink a lot.
It’s all my fault for my dad who died young!
I must have inherited my drinking ability from him.
Maybe he inherited this from my inattentive mother. I heard she's also a heavy drinker.
Pei Qing stared at the drawing on the tablet and burped.
She opened the vodka again and almost fainted after taking a sip.
She really doesn't like the taste.
Pei Qing pushed the bottle of wine away and placed it next to the bay window.
The night was warm, and the moonlight poured onto Pei Qing through the white gauze curtain on the bay window.
Pei Qing's face was as beautiful as white porcelain.
"Hiccup~"
She burped again and looked down at the tablet.
Pei Qing pointed at the girl on the tablet and asked, "Who are you?"
She looked at the tablet with hazy eyes for a few seconds, then grabbed the paintbrush.
The white gauze curtain on the bay window kept swaying, floating in front of Pei Qing's eyes from time to time.
Pei Qing was not affected.
Time passed minute by minute, until the first light of day appeared in the sky, and then Pei Qing stopped writing.
In her drawing, there was a dark room with curtains that were not drawn tightly. Through the light outside the curtains, one could see the mess on the floor.
Broken cups, overturned vases, and bed covers were also thrown to the ground.
A woman was lying barefoot on the door with her left hand raised as if she was going to hammer it.
Pei Qing looked at the painting again.
The window on the other side of the curtain was sealed.
Is she locked in her room?
Out of intuition, Pei Qing couldn't help but think: Is someone imprisoning her?
She looked at the room again and could only see the iron mesh on the windows and the motionless dark blue curtains.
I couldn't see which floor I was on, nor could I see outside the window.
Pei Qing couldn't help but enlarge the picture. There was something stuck on the window glass. Was it an anti-peeping film?

At nine o'clock in the morning on July 10, Qian Ya took Zhu Wang to the police station.
The police officers at the police station were already very familiar with this family, especially Zhu Wang. It was a miracle that he was found after being missing for more than ten years.
But when asked how she found it, Qian Ya only said that she asked an old classmate to help her find it, and she would not say anything more.
Qian Ya knew clearly that matters like fortune-telling were usually not reported by the people and not investigated by the officials. But what if the police found out about it and took it seriously, what would happen to her wife?
Besides, if the wife’s account was closed, where would she go to find the wife to ask for articles?
In this way, apart from telling the truth to her family, she kept her mouth shut to everyone else. She even warned Lin Cheng not to say anything in front of the police.
The policeman poured them a glass of water and asked, "Are you asking about your household registration? There are a lot of procedures involved. Don't worry. If you want to enroll in school, our police station can issue you a certificate..."
Zhu Wang just turned eighteen this year. He stopped studying after junior high school, but according to the general thinking of Chinese people, he still needs to continue studying.
Qian Ya smiled, pulled Zhu Wang to her side, and said to the police: "It's not about schooling. We can go to a private school. It's my brother who made a mistake, but he was not yet 18 when he made the mistake. The age on his ID card is eight months older than his actual age. My brother is not even 18 this year!"
The police officer was surprised: "Oh? What's going on?"
Qian Ya said: "It was my younger brother. He was ignorant before and was deceived into joining a pyramid scheme. When he ran away, he picked up a gold bracelet from the pyramid scheme. Of course, the gold bracelet was taken away by someone else and was not in my brother's hand.
Police comrade, I just want to file a case first. My brother can provide you with the address of the pyramid scheme. Even if he makes meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, this gold bracelet should not be counted as belonging to my brother."
The police were stunned when they heard this.
"You were involved in a pyramid scheme before? You have a lot of social experience."
He had no intention of making things difficult for them. The child was found with great difficulty and was not even eighteen years old. He would compensate them if he could. It would be a waste of time to let him go to jail.
The police officer asked: "Where is the pyramid scheme?"
Zhu Wang took them to the pyramid scheme den, which was a residential building. With Zhu Wang's help, the police successfully arrested the pyramid scheme leader and his minions.
Zhu Wang was looking around curiously, but Qian Ya pulled his head away.
Zhu Wang: "Sister."
Qian Ya took him and hid in the car.
"Don't look at it, or you might get retaliated against."
Zhu Wang: “Oh.”
He couldn't help but keep watching the scene where the police were arresting the suspect.
Qian Ya asked, "Looking for Sun Xiuxiu?"
Sun Xiuxiu was the girl who took the bracelet. According to Zhu Wang's description, the gold bracelet weighed about 50 grams, which meant it cost more than 40,000 yuan, which was not a small amount.
Zhu Wang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"She's not here."
Qian Ya couldn't help but said, "You'd better stay away from her. This is called theft and you will go to jail. That means the gold bracelet is not in your hand, otherwise you are finished."
Zhu Wang said awkwardly: "I didn't know at that time..."
Qian Ya was upset: "Just wait, after we find this girl, if she bites you back, I will have to find a lawyer to save you. Fortunately, you told me, otherwise if the police really come to your house and you really have to go to jail, your parents will cry to death."
Zhu Wang: "Sister, I know I was wrong."
Qian Ya: “Humph!”
She glanced at her phone and saw a message from Lin Cheng, saying that her wife had not replied yet.
Qian Ya was frustrated: [Don’t worry, I’ve dealt with it here, it should be fine. I’ll see if my wife is live streaming tonight and ask her to draw another family portrait. ]
Lin Cheng: [Still drawing? Didn’t you solve it? ]
Qian Ya is a loyal believer of this lady. She continued: [Of course I have to draw it! I just don’t believe that I can’t draw a family portrait! ]
