Chapter 254 The scarf was given away
Su Wan parked the car under a big tree and could see the house not far away from him.
Han Jianye stopped an old man herding ducks and asked, "Excuse me, is there a family named Niu here? My friend asked us to come here to buy wild honey from him."
The old man smoked his pipe, frowned, and said, "Surname Niu? We all have the surname Kuai here, and I've never seen anyone with the surname Niu. You guys go in a little further, maybe you'll run into someone."
"Okay, thank you." Han Jianye thanked the old man and motioned for everyone to continue walking inside.
Qi Xiaolei couldn't help but sigh: "Although the mountain road is so difficult to walk on, the houses here are quite nice, and many of them are buildings."
Ye Bai noticed that there were people not far ahead, probably mobile vendors coming to the morning market.
He suggested: "I see a few elderly people sitting over there, why don't we go ask them? The older generation should know more."
Qi Xiaolei smiled and said, "Don't underestimate those old people. They are the intelligence center of the village. Not to mention people, even passing dogs will be criticized by them."
Han Jianye turned his gaze to Qi Xiaolei and said, "You and Liao Wei go ask. We'll wait for you here."
"Okay, leave it to us." Qi Xiaolei said confidently.
She is best at integrating into the masses, building good relationships, and obtaining information.
Just then, Ye Bai's cell phone rang. It was Ye Che calling.
"Xiao Bai, I've already sent someone to our warehouse to look for those discarded mobile phones. So many old phones are still usable, I don't believe that we can't find the owner's number. Just wait for my good news!"
There was a sense of certainty in Ye Che's voice.
"Okay, brother, if you really find it, remember to contact me as soon as possible."
Ye Bai responded.
Han Jianye asked him, "Is your brother still looking for you?"
"Yeah." Ye Bai smiled helplessly, "You don't know how angry he was after learning the truth. He wanted to pull this guy out and tear him into pieces immediately."
Han Jianye also expected Ye Che's reaction. He was angry when he heard 5 million last time, not to mention that the truth was 800,000. He was also asked to shave his head and send him to the mountains. He was lucky that he didn't tear down the house.
After a while, Qi Xiaolei and Liao Wei came back and brought back an unexpected piece of gossip.
Liao Wei said, "Captain Han, we just asked the group of old people. They said that there is no one with the surname Niu in the village, but the daughter of a family married a live-in son-in-law, whose surname is Niu, Niu Guang. I heard that they had three daughters, and five years ago, they said that their daughters were promising, so they brought them to the town to open a convenience store and let the couple run the store."
Han Jianye frowned and asked, "Have you found out the exact location in the town? What's the name of the store?"
Qi Xiaolei replied: "They said the name of the store seemed to be 'Jia Jia' or something convenience store, but they couldn't remember the exact name."
Su Wan was a little worried: "How can I find it without a specific address?"
Everyone fell into a brief silence.
Suddenly, Han Jianye said, "This is not difficult." He turned to look at Su Wan, "Use the navigation map to search for the word 'Jia Jia'. There should be many options named 'Jia Jia' in Shangyuan Town. As long as there is a convenience store, we will go there one by one."
"This idea is great." Qi Xiaolei was the first to applaud.
Ye Bai also responded with a smile: "Then let's go down the mountain quickly."
On the way back, Ye Bai also received a voice message from Yan Yi, saying that they had just come out of Lianhua Village in Qiyang City. Everyone in the village had the surname Huang, and there was no one with the surname Niu. He asked Ye Bai how the progress was here?
Ye Bai immediately informed him of the situation here.
Han Jianye also found three convenience stores named "Jia Jia" in the navigation, and they planned to look for them one by one.
Qi Xiaolei was sitting in the car when she suddenly shivered all over and couldn't help complaining, "It's already March, why is the weather still so hot and cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Wei took out a scarf from his backpack, put it on Qi Xiaolei's shoulders without saying a word, and said softly: "This way you won't catch a cold."
Han Jianye: (ω)! ?
Ye Bai: ( . )…
Suwan: | ω)...
Qi Xiaolei:╭(°A°`)╮? ? ? ?
"You...you still carry a scarf with you?" Qi Xiaolei looked at Liao Wei in disbelief.
"Yes." Liao Wei answered nonchalantly, as if this was the most normal thing.
Qi Xiaolei felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to take off the scarf: "I'll... I'll give it back to you. You still have to give it to someone else, don't get it dirty."
Liao Wei stared at her and said seriously, "Wear it. It has been given away."
"Ah!?" Qi Xiaolei blinked and didn't react for a moment.
"Just wear it, it's just a scarf. If you catch a cold, you'll have to take medicine, which is not cost-effective." Liao Wei smiled slightly, speaking nonchalantly.
"That's true." Qi Xiaolei smiled and put the scarf back on her shoulders, feeling much warmer instantly.
Ye Bai and Han Jianye looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion as to "what is going on?"
Su Wan, a straightforward person, understood it instantly. He suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha..."
Qi Xiaolei asked curiously: "Captain Su, what are you laughing at?"
Su Wan quickly shut up and covered it up: "Nothing, I just think the weather is a bit cold today, this scarf suits you very well."
"Oh, I thought you were laughing at something." Qi Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Jianye also smiled and looked at the scarf on Qi Xiaolei's shoulders, and instantly understood what Liao Wei meant.
He thought to himself: Wow, it turns out he has such deep thoughts.
Ye Bai also reacted and couldn't help but sigh: Liao Wei, this kid, had been struggling with the scarf for more than a year, and he actually gave it away in this way.
Qi Xiaolei smelled the fresh scent of the scarf, and she finally reacted belatedly.
Her heart started pounding suddenly. She looked at Liao Wei, who was playing with his phone nonchalantly. She swallowed, the words "it has been sent out" still echoing in her ears.
She suddenly remembered Liao Wei's previous confession. Was he joking?
He carries a scarf with him. Could it be that he is always looking for an opportunity?
So, it’s true that he likes... me.
Qi Xiaolei's face turned red instantly, and she quickly lowered the car window to let in the cool air.
She recalled Liao Wei's concern for her, especially the time when she was trapped in the crystal coffin. The worry on his face was absolutely heartfelt.
( ω )
She was always mean to him, but he never got angry. Even if he was angry, he would come and talk to her after a while.
As she was thinking, Qi Xiaolei picked up her phone and sent him a message: [Thank you, scarf... I like it very much. 】
After receiving the message, Liao Wei finally let go of the worry in his heart. He breathed a sigh of relief and replied: [As long as you like it. 】
