Chapter 088 The Eighty-Eighth Melon

The car stopped in front of a processing plant.

This was obviously a plastic processing factory. Bai Wenhui helped her parents get out of the car and was stunned when she saw that there was a factory below.

She looked at Gu Xicao: "Master, my brother is here?"

"Yes." Gu Xicao nodded.

Bai's mother's eyes were red with heartache. "Oh my, this place is not a place for human beings to stay. I wonder if my son was kidnapped and sent here to do hard labor."

Father Bai also had a gloomy face and said, "If this is true, we must call the police and have them investigate what is going on with this factory!"

Xu Yiyang felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

What do you mean this is a place for people to stay?

This is just a factory, a place to work, what's wrong with staying here?

Gu Xicao said, "You can call the police if you want. We'll talk about it after we go in."

She walked towards the factory gate.

The factory was in the suburbs. The yard was full of groceries, and there were several workers moving and packing various goods. Seeing Gu Xicao and his group of people who didn't fit in with this place walk in, someone in the factory came out, pointed at Gu Xicao and the others and asked, "Who are you? How did you just come into our factory?"

The man's clothes were covered in oil stains and his eyes were alert. When he saw that they were carrying a camera, his face became even more unhappy. He turned his head and waved a few times to the back.

Several workers put down their work and came over.

The staff of the program were a little scared and a little excited.

Could it be that we encountered a black factory?

"We are here to look for someone. Is my son here with you?"

Father Bai pointed at the man and said in a bad tone, "If you know what's good for you, let my son go immediately, or we won't be polite!"

"Dad!" Bai Wenhui wanted to ask a few questions first, but she didn't expect her father to speak so directly and mercilessly. She was a little flustered for a moment.

"What do you mean your son and my son? We don't have your son here, but we do have your father, hahaha."

After the man said this, he and several colleagues burst into laughter.

Father Bai was so angry, "Speak more politely!"

"You should be more polite. An old man comes to show off here. Are you okay?"

The man spat on the ground and spoke with disdain and hostility.

Seeing that her father was about to lose his temper again, Bai Wenhui was afraid that things would get complicated, so she quickly pulled her father aside, gave him a look, then turned her head and smiled politely at the man, "Brother, I'm sorry, my brother is missing, my father was too anxious, he didn't mean any harm. We have found a master here, and the master said that my brother is with you. Could you please think about whether there is a stranger in your factory recently?"

"Yes, as long as my son is safe, everything is fine."

Bai's mother also said anxiously, and took out her wallet and took out a few large bills to give to them.

When those people saw the money, they were all tempted.

The man in the lead hesitated for a moment, took the money and said, "There are a few new employees recently, but we don't know which one is your son."

"My son is chubby and cute. He is only fifteen years old and his name is Bai Wenju."

Bai's mother said quickly.

"Bai Wenju? Is there such a person?"

Several people looked at each other.

Suddenly someone said, "I don't know Bai Wenju, but a fat guy came to work in our factory a few days ago."

"What about the others?!"

Bai's mother was extremely excited.

Bai Wenhui hurriedly supported her mother and looked at the person who was speaking with an eager look.

The man scratched his head and pointed inside. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Fatty!"

Inside the factory, a fat man in work clothes who was walking towards the workshop turned around. His face was dirty and his hair was disheveled, looking like a little beggar.

"son!"

When Mr. and Mrs. Bai saw their own son, they were so excited that they ran inside quickly.

The man was stunned and scratched his head. "He is really the person you are looking for. This fat guy doesn't look very likable at all."

Wang Laoshi couldn't help but mutter, "This Bai Wenju doesn't look like his sister. His sister is pretty, why does he look like--"

Wang Laoshi didn't want to speak too bluntly.

But Bai Wenju's appearance really opened everyone's eyes. He was wearing greasy work clothes, his hair was messy, and his face looked like he hadn't washed for several days. He looked like a little beggar.

"Mom, Dad!"

Seeing his parents appear, Bai Wenju was stunned for a moment, then dropped the work in his hands, hugged his parents and cried bitterly, "You are finally here, please save me, I can't stand it, I want to go home!"

"Don't cry, son. Don't cry. Tell me, has someone kidnapped you and won't let you go home?"

There was cruelty in Mr. Bai's eyes and he was very aggressive.

Several people came out from the office next door with bad intentions.

"Hey, what are you doing? Fatty, why don't you keep working!"

Bai Wenju shrank his neck and hid behind his parents.

Bai's mother was furious when she saw her son being yelled at like that. She protected her son behind her and said to the people who came out, "Okay, I was wondering why our son had been missing for a few days. This is really an illegal factory. Miss Xu, you must film this place so that everyone in Hong Kong can see how wicked this illegal factory is. They even force children to do hard labor!"

When those people saw Xu Yiyang and his group with their guns and cannons, they couldn't help but feel scared for a moment.

A man with a crew cut inside couldn't help but say, "Who are you calling a black factory? We are a legitimate workshop and we pay taxes on time every year!"

"You're not an illegal factory, so why did you arrest my brother and keep him there for several days?"

Bai Wenhui walked in and saw her brother's look. She couldn't help but frown and was rude to the person who was talking.

The crew cut sneered and hugged his muscular arms, "Then ask your brother what good things he did!"

Bai Wenhui is not as biased and brainless as her parents. She is much more cautious. After hearing what the crew cut said, she felt that there seemed to be some hidden secret.

Bai Wenhui turned her head and looked at Bai Wenju: "Wenju, what does he mean by that? What did you do?"

Bai Wenju avoided his gaze and grabbed his mother's sleeve and cried, "Mom, I didn't do anything. They forced me to work every day. I can't stand it anymore."

Bai's mother had never seen her son suffer such an injustice before. She felt so distressed that she said, "Son, you are scared. Your parents are here and will definitely seek justice for you!"

"Bah!"

The man with the short hair couldn't hold it in any longer, and was shaking with anger. He pointed at Bai Wenju and said, "Your son is a man pretending to be a woman and cheated me out of 30,000 yuan. I am kind-hearted if I didn't beat him to death!"

Xu Yiyang and others' jaws dropped to the ground.

What?

What the hell?

Xu Yiyang swallowed and pointed at Bai Wenju, "He looks like this, a man pretending to be a woman, do you believe it?"

The guy with the crew cut blushed, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. "Bullshit, I don't like that. He, he used her photo to hook up with me online!"

The man with the crew cut pointed at Bai Wenhui.

Bai Wenhui was stunned and pointed at herself: "Me?"

The crew cut nodded: "It's you. He pretended to be you and asked me for 30,000 yuan. I gave it to him, but he said he was short of money. I thought, if he wants more than 30,000 yuan, I have to meet him. When we met, I found something wrong. After beating him up, he admitted that he pretended to be you to date me."

Both Mr. and Mrs. Bai were stunned.

Bai's mother looked at Bai Wenju in disbelief: "Son, is he, is what he said true? Did you really do such a thing?"

Bai Wenju showed a smug look on his face, "Mom, I didn't cheat him on purpose, he was just stupid, who told him to give me the money foolishly? Besides, I didn't do anything bad except cheating some money!"

"You, you used my photo to lie to people, and you still said you didn't do anything bad!"

Bai Wenhui's face flushed red, she was so ashamed and angry that she almost cried, "You, you are so wicked!"

"Sis, are you still my sister? What's the point of arguing about this now!"

Bai Wenju pouted and said aggrievedly: "That idiot was not polite to me. He forced me to do hard labor for three days and didn't even give me enough to eat!"

Father Bai felt embarrassed, but also annoyed. He looked at the short-haired man and said, "My son did something wrong, but you shouldn't treat him like this. Can't you talk to him in a nice way?"

"How can I talk to him nicely? I asked him to spit out the money, but he said he had spent it all. He had no money left, and his life was gone! He also said that even if I called the police, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him!"

The crew cut was so angry that veins on his temples bulged. He pointed at Bai Wenju and said, "Then I didn't beat him to death. I made him work here to pay off his debt. Is that wrong? Ah, ah!"

He looked at everyone questioningly.

Even for Xu Yiyang, it is hard to say whether the buzz cut is right or wrong.

After all, if most people encounter such a thing, they would be considered to have a good temper if they didn't break the fat guy's legs.

At least this is just making people work here to pay off their debts!

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were so embarrassed at the moment that they wished there was a crack in the ground they could crawl into.

Bai Wenhui was so angry that she felt ashamed and annoyed.

She took out her business card from her bag and said, "Here is my contact information. My family owes you 30,000 yuan. We will transfer it to you later. He was wrong in doing this!"

Bai Wenju was still dissatisfied, "Sister, you are stupid, he trapped me here and won't let me out, we can sue him for illegal imprisonment, why is he giving me money!"

Bai Wenhui really couldn't help it.

She went up and slapped Bai Wenju in the face. With a loud slap, half of Bai Wenju's face suddenly became red and swollen.

He covered his face and looked at Bai Wenhui in astonishment and shock.

"Our family has never treated you unfairly since you were a child. For 30,000 yuan, you took my photo and deceived others without permission. You even wanted to harm others. You are simply a social scum!"

Bai Wenhui looked at Bai Wenju with a look of disappointment, "You should be happy that they didn't beat you to death. If it were me, I would break both of your legs just for what you said!"

"Wenhui, why are you so cruel to your brother?"

Father Bai finally came to his senses, and hurriedly hugged his son with heartache, looking at Bai Wenhui in disbelief.

Bai Wenhui felt even colder when she heard this. "I am cruel. Doting on my son is like harming him. You have spoiled your brother since he was a child. I have told you so many times that this will kill him. If he hadn't met this guy with a short haircut today, he would have been beaten to death. How can he still be here to make decisions and act like a fool? Do you really think he is the only smart person in the world?"

Xu Yiyang couldn't help but nodded secretly.

The crew cut guy touched his head embarrassedly.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Bai looked a little embarrassed.

Bai Wenhui was too lazy to care, she turned around and left.

Bai's father and mother were extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do. They could only glare at the man with the crew cut and leave with their son.

On the way, people in the car were talking about it.

Wang said honestly: "Bai Wenju is so young, but he has learned so much. He will fall into a big pit sooner or later when he enters the society!"

"That's right, based on what he said just now, the guy with the buzz cut is really a good guy. He's just allowed to work here. If it were me, I would beat him three times a day!" The driver couldn't help but gossip.

Xu Yiyang said: “Then Miss Bai is a reasonable person, it’s a pity that she met such parents.”

Gu Xicao said nothing about this.

There are so many families like this in the world, it’s hard to express the sadness.

If my daughter understands and stops the loss in time, she can reduce the burden on the family. If she doesn't understand, I'm afraid she will be busy cleaning up her brother's mess for the rest of her life.

Gu Xicao asked Xu Yiyang to drive the car to the vicinity of his home.

Before getting off the car, Xu Yiyang hesitated to speak. Gu Xicao said, "Miss Xu has always been generous. Why bother to be so hesitant? Why not just speak directly?"

Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "It's about your background, so I can't help but feel embarrassed. I heard that Miss Gu and Mr. Gu are grandfather and granddaughter. Mr. Gu intends to hold a banquet to introduce you to relatives and friends. Miss Gu's identity is different. Are you still willing to be on this show?"

Their show is certainly very popular, but for rich people, it is not very decent to appear on such a show.

Gu Xicao smiled and said, "Miss Xu, it's unnecessary to ask this question. Whether I am Mr. Gu's granddaughter or not, my premise is all about myself."

Xu Yiyang understood and breathed a sigh of relief, "See you next time."

Gu Xicao nodded, told Wang Laoshi to go off work, and turned around to go upstairs, but saw two people standing not far away.

The two were acquaintances.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Lin."

Gu Xicao greeted the two of them, "What a coincidence, did you two come together?"

The people who came were none other than Sun Desheng and Lin Qianshi.

Sun Desheng was dressed more formally today and looked much better.

He smiled and said, "I'll wait for you here. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be here by chance. Mr. Lin is really brave."

Lin Qianshi smiled gently, his suit jacket hooked on his arm, "I'm not brave at all. My grandfather and Grandpa Gu have arranged more than 20 bodyguards to follow me."

He pointed at several figures around him and said, "Now my comings and goings can be described as a grand event."

The two of them standing here are very conspicuous.

Seeing that people passing by kept looking at them, and that many of them recognized her, Gu Xicao invited the two of them to go upstairs.

Sun Desheng was a very outgoing person. After entering the house, he looked around and marveled at the surroundings.

"Master, you make so much money, but you live here? It seems that the money I brought here should be a timely help."

"What money do you need to bring?" Gu Xicao poured a cup of tea for the two of them, sat down to rest, and asked casually.

Sun Desheng took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xicao.

Gu Xicao took it and took a look at it, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, "Hua Hong?"

"That's right. The higher-ups are very happy about catching Boss Jiang and his gang of drug dealers this time. I will be promoted and get a raise, and you will get a bonus of 500,000 yuan, but this money is before tax." Sun Desheng looked much more relaxed than the previous time they met.

Gu Xicao could also understand that being an undercover agent among drug dealers was a life-threatening situation. Moreover, Sun Desheng had been doing this for so many years and he was not a pervert. He just had a strong psychological quality.

It must be a great relief for him to be able to return to the police force as a policeman.

"Thank you very much."

Gu Xicao nodded, put away the check, and looked at Lin Qianshi, "Mr. Lin, what are you doing here?"

Lin Qianshi smiled and took out a file bag he brought with him. "Grandpa Gu will introduce you to everyone in a few days. The situation at the Wang family is more complicated. I think you need to get to know the servants in advance. Although you won't suffer any loss with your ability, it won't hurt to know more information."

Gu Xicao took the file bag, took it out and took a look.

This document is very comprehensive. It not only lists the information of Wang's in-laws and business partners, but also notes which people are closer to Wang Xueli and her family and what kind of interests they have.

Sun Desheng whistled, put his hands behind his head, and said teasingly: "Mr. Lin's information is incredible. If you want to buy it, I'm afraid someone would be willing to pay millions."

Lin Qianshi said calmly: "Money is secondary. What matters is who has this information. If Miss Gu has this information, it will be more convenient."

Sun Desheng propped up his chin and said meaningfully, "Mr. Lin is so willing to help Miss Gu, it's unusual. I heard that you and the young lady from the Wang family are childhood sweethearts. Is this considered betrayal?"

Lin Qianshi said calmly, "Sun Sir, you are joking. My grandfather had joked with Grandpa Gu that the two families would get married, but it was just a joke after all and should not be taken seriously. I only treated Wang Xueli as a younger sister among my relatives and friends. Besides, there is a big age gap between us. When it comes to serious matters, we have never had much contact. It is my brother who can be said to be her childhood sweetheart."

"Mr. Lin has explained so much, but you feel guilty about it?"

Sun Desheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said.

Lin Qianshi smiled slightly, "Sun Sir, why are you asking so many questions? Do you have any plans?"

The two people's eyes met, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Sister, I'm back."

After school, Lin Yuan took out the key to open the door, and saw that Gu Xicao had returned home early. He was overjoyed and ran over.

When he saw Lin Qianshi and Sun Desheng, he exclaimed, "Sister, why are these two uncles in our house?"

Two uncles?

Lin Qianshi and Sun Desheng inexplicably felt as if they were a generation older.

"Nothing, they just came to have a drink of water and will leave soon." Gu Xicao regained her composure, put away the documents, and rudely asked them to leave. They came to her house to quarrel for no reason and should leave quickly. It was almost time for dinner and they should not stay to eat for free.

Lin Qianshi and Sun Desheng greeted Lin Yuan tactfully and left.

Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan also came out to see them off.

Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "Are the two uncles not on good terms? Why does the atmosphere between them seem strange?"

"I don't think so." Gu Xicao touched his chin. Logically, their relationship should not be too bad.

Mrs. Lin from next door passed by, glanced at Gu Xicao, and said nothing.

Lin Yuan has Saturday and Sunday off, just in time for Christmas.

Gu Xicao took him out shopping. The festive atmosphere of these Western festivals was very strong in Hong Kong, with ribbons, colorful lights, and Christmas trees.

After eating and watching a movie, Lin Yuan said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so Gu Xicao waited for him at the door.

It didn't take long.

Lin Yuan came back with a crying little blonde girl.

"This, this is your friend?" Gu Xicao squatted down, took out a handkerchief to wipe the little girl's tears, and looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "No, I met her at the toilet door. She kept crying and someone next to her wanted to take her away. I saw that something was not right, so I said it was her brother and brought her here."

Because he has a sister named Gu Xicao, Lin Yuan has seen a lot at a young age and is more thoughtful than others.

Gu Xicao understood.

She asked the system and asked the girl directly in Cantonese: "Amy, are you lost?"

When Amy heard her name, she stopped crying and looked up at Gu Xicao in surprise: "How do you know my name?"

"Hey, she can speak Cantonese?!"

Lin Yuan clapped his hands in surprise, "Then why didn't you answer me when I said something to you just now?"

Amy rubbed her eyes and said aggrievedly: "Mommy said we can't talk to strangers."

Lin Yuan: “…”

You can’t talk to strangers, but you can walk with strangers, right?

This little sister is really...

"Then why are you talking to my sister again?"

Lin Yuan was furious and questioned with his hands on his hips.

Amy blinked. Her eyelashes were thick and her blue eyes were as clear as Walden Lake. "Since my sister knows my name is Amy, I am not a stranger to her."

Lin Yuan: “…”

Gu Xicao could hardly hold back her laughter.

She said, "Okay, Amy, do you want to find Mommy?"

Amy nodded quickly and gestured, "Amy was walking with Mommy, and suddenly a lot of people were crossing the road. Amy was walking and realized she was holding the wrong person, so Amy walked over here."

"Oh, then you are really stupid. You actually led the wrong person." Lin Yuan said proudly, "I have not led the wrong person since I was five years old."

Amy was angry and stamped her feet: "Amy is only four years old this year."

Lin Yuan was suddenly embarrassed.

Gu Xicao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Amy, I know where your mommy is. I'll take you there, okay?"

"Really, sister, do you know where my mommy is?"

Amy was overjoyed and was about to agree when she suddenly realized something was wrong. "No, sister, Amy doesn't even know where Mommy is. How do you know? Are you a human trafficker?"

Gu Xicao: “…”

When people are speechless, they are really speechless.

Little Amy chatted with her for a long time and finally remembered that she might be a human trafficker.

"I promise you, I'm not a human trafficker." Gu Xicao said.

Amy still looked at her suspiciously and took a few steps back. "Mommy said that human traffickers will always say they are not human traffickers!"

Lin Yuan was standing next to them, his face turning red from trying so hard to hold back his laughter.

Gu Xicao rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's so funny?"

Amy blinked, a thoughtful look on her face, "Okay, I believe you are not a human trafficker."

"Human traffickers won't work with a fool."

This time it was Lin Yuan's turn to be green.
