Chapter 106
But that man turned out to be the murderer of six murders!
Jun Zhengyu, lying on the desk, turned his head to look at the office building opposite.
So if he and Jun Che had not gone to the stationery store to pick up Jiaojiao that night, or if they had not returned because of the half bottle of yogurt after leaving for the first time, the lady named Chen Xiaoxiao might have become the seventh case, and more women might have suffered the same fate in the days to come.
Thinking of this, Jun Zhengyu, who had an irritable face, was still quite grateful and scared in his heart. Fortunately, he went there that day, fortunately they went back for the unfinished bottle of yogurt, and fortunately he discovered the abnormality.
Fortunately, the lady named Chen Xiaoxiao is still alive!
Human life is unique and fragile. This is a truth that Jun Zhengyu understood when he was ten years old.
Jun Zhengyu turned his head and suddenly thought of his uncle.
His uncle was a very good and powerful man. He had learned all his martial arts skills personally from his uncle because he was afraid that he would be bullied.
When he was little, he was very thin, and his uncle was often worried and distressed about it. At that time, he thought that although his uncle looked very serious and upright, he was actually very gentle. He was even gentler than his aunt and his mother. If his uncle had a child in the future, he would definitely spoil him to the sky!
But in the end, no one expected that the uncle would die without even having the chance to see his son.
He was only ten years old when he learned the news of his uncle's sacrifice. He was completely stunned at the time, but before he could stay stunned for long, his aunt, who heard the news, took action.
At that time, he was waiting outside the delivery room with his grandfather and father, and he thought, isn’t there a saying that an eldest brother is like a father?
From then on, he treated his uncle's child as his own and gave him all the delicious food and fun things.
Just like that, he waited for almost half the night thinking about these things, and finally waited for the birth of Jun Che.
When Jun Che was just born, he was extremely thin and tiny. His cry was not loud enough. He was like a little kitten that could only cry out weakly twice even with all its strength.
Seeing little Jun Che like this, Jun Zhengyu was scared. He was afraid that he would not be able to support his younger brother, so he ran to the hospital at night with a pillow in his arms and squatted at the door of his aunt's ward, as if this would make him feel a little more at ease.
It was from then on that he began to value and care about life more than his peers. So even though he is now annoyed by the series of socially deadly rewards implemented by the school leaders, he is still sincerely grateful and happy in his heart.
Thankfully, all the coincidences have led to this happy occasion!
There are many high-rise buildings in the city center where every inch of land is valuable. Among these high-rise buildings, the most eye-catching one is the towering building in the middle. On this building is an extremely eye-catching logo of Wanbo Group!
On the top floor of Wanbo Group, sunlight streamed in from the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Behind the spacious desk, Lu Jie, dressed in a silver-gray shirt, leaned back in his chair. He lowered his eyes and turned the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his whole body exuding a restrained and noble temperament.
Serial killer, Chenyang Stationery Store, female college student...
After a long time, Lu Jie, who had been repeating these words over and over again, opened his eyes. The sunlight outside the window reflected his light-colored pupils, giving them an amber texture.
His eyes moved, passing the neatly stacked documents awaiting approval on the table, and fell on the golden statue that looked like a child.
After thinking for a while, he reached out and took the palm-sized golden statue of Jiaojiao, looked at it for a while, put it beside him, and began to review the documents.
He made two palm-sized golden statues, one for his home and one for him to carry with him.
You could say he was superstitious or that he had slept for too long and his mind was not clear, but he didn't want the things in his dream to happen to him again.
For this reason, superstition is not a bad thing at all!
The flight from Beijing to Yunnan Province took quite a while. Jiaojiao, who had slept for two hours on the plane, opened her eyes drowsily. She was stunned when she saw the unfamiliar scene before her. Then, remembering something, she turned her head to look at the person sitting next to her. With her eyes narrowed, she happily shouted, "Dad!"
"Yeah." Li Yubai responded, looked at Jiaojiao's rosy face, and reached out to tidy up his messy hair: "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Jiaojiao shook her head: "No."
Li Yubai took out the bottle and asked, "Would you like some water?"
The thirsty Jiaojiao's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily: "Yes."
Li Yubai handed the bottle to him. Jiaojiao held the bottle and lowered his head to drink obediently, looking up at his father from time to time while drinking.
Seeing this, Li Yubai asked in confusion, "Why are you always looking at me?"
"Xihakou, Dad." Jiaojiao's voice was a little unclear because she was drinking water, but Li Yubai still heard what he said clearly.
Li Yubai didn't say anything, but just reached out and rubbed Jiaojiao's head.
Children always express their love directly and honestly, without the shyness of adults, nor the mixed feelings of factors and purposes. They just simply like and love something, so it always touches people's hearts.
On the plane, the woman sitting in front of Jiaojiao and the others on the right couldn't help but feel excited after accidentally catching a glimpse of Jiaojiao, and she kept turning her head to look at them intentionally or unintentionally.
This child is so delicate, so white, tender, small and soft. He is so well-behaved when drinking water from the bottle. He is so adorable just by looking at him.
Noticing her gaze, Jiaojiao looked up curiously, and happened to meet the woman's gaze as she turned her head. Both the big and the small were stunned for a moment. Jiaojiao was the first to come to her senses, raised her little paw and greeted, "Hello, Auntie."
The woman who was greeted couldn't help but smile: "Hello, little friend, you are so cute!"
Jiaojiao was a little happy to be praised, and she praised back: "Auntie, you are so cute too!"
This sentence not only amused the woman, but also made the people sitting around her laugh.
Jiaojiao, who was a little confused by everyone's laughter, pursed her lips and looked at her father a little blankly.
Li Yubai met his gaze and soothed him, "It's okay, drink some water."
"Oh." Jiaojiao nodded and continued to drink water obediently.
It takes four hours to get from Beijing to Yunnan Province. When Jiaojiao and others came out of the airport, it was already around noon. Although they had been sitting and not doing much exercise all morning, they were all hungry when it was time for dinner.
After leaving the airport, the group got on the program crew's car and went to a private restaurant called Yunsheng for lunch.
A group of people entered the store and followed the program crew to the private room on the third floor that had been booked long ago.
In the box, director Wu Jin and two assistant directors Huang Xin and Cao Youen were already waiting there.
Cao Yuhao, who followed Xiao Tiancheng in, saw his father and happily walked forward to sit down. "Dad, why are you here?"
Cao Youen patted his head and said in feigned anger, "Why are you sitting down? Say hello first."
Wu Jin on the side quickly said: "What are you saying hello to? All kids are like this. Director Cao, you are too serious."
"That's right." Cao Yuhao touched his patted head in dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Cao Youen frowned and asked, "Did it hurt?" He raised his hand to touch his head, but Cao Yuhao dodged him.
"Hmph." Cao Yuhao raised his head and snorted, then stood up and walked to Xiao Tiancheng and shouted to him, "Dad."
After shouting, he turned around and made a face at Cao Youen.
This was the first time Cao Yuhao called him dad. The smile on Xiao Tiancheng's face froze. He looked at Director Cao with a dry laugh, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This is Director Cao’s son, everything he says is wrong!
Seeing this, Cao Youen waved his hand and told him not to take it seriously. He knew his son's temper very well. This kid was simply dissatisfied with him patting him on the head and scolding him in front of everyone. He was deliberately making things difficult for himself.
After comforting Xiao Tiancheng, Cao Youen's eyes fell on Jiaojiao, who was being held by Li Yubai and sat down. This child was the one who saved his son. If he had not gone to the welfare home some time ago and couldn't find Jiaojiao, he would have taken her home long ago.
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to Li Yubai, and waved his hand when Li Yubai was about to stand up.
Li Yubai, who was pretending to be like that, sat back down calmly upon seeing this.
When he saw Jiaojiao, Cao Youen recalled the thrilling scene during the live broadcast. Although the child in front of him looked only two years old, he couldn't help but get excited.
He stuffed the box in his hand into Jiaojiao's arms, then held Jiaojiao's small hand: "Jiaojiao, uncle is very grateful, very grateful that you saved Cao Yuhao. This is a meeting gift for you. If you have anything in the future, call uncle, and come to my house to play during the New Year and other holidays. I don't know if you are willing, but I will treat you as my own child from now on. If the welfare home hadn't said that you already have an adoptive family, your aunt would have adopted you back long ago..."
Jiaojiao was stunned by this series of words and looked up at the uncle in front of her in confusion.
Meeting Jiaojiao's confused eyes, Cao Youen paused for a moment before realizing that the two-year-old child in front of him couldn't understand what he was saying at all.
Cao Youen wasn't embarrassed either. He turned to look at Li Yubai very smoothly and said in a tone that sounded like Jiaojiao's elder, "Little Li, I'll ask you to take care of Jiaojiao during the recording of the show."
"My child, no need to ask." Li Yubai said, taking Jiaojiao's hand from Cao Youen and holding it in his own. He looked down at Jiaojiao and said, "Say thank you, uncle."
Although Jiaojiao didn't understand what her father said, she still said childishly, "Thank you, uncle."
Xiao Tiancheng, who was watching this scene from the side, tightened his cheeks. The bitterness in his heart almost drowned him, and his hands were clenched tightly under the table.
Originally, this child was to be assigned to him, and Director Cao's gratitude and favor should also have been his, but now, they were all taken away by Li Yubai.
Li Yubai also used this child to clear a lot of his reputation.
As for someone like him, the internet is now full of comments mocking him, and there are even a few photos of him with a black face. If Cao Yuhao wasn't so bad that he aroused the sympathy of some netizens, the personality he has always created would be destroyed.
It's all Director Zhu's fault. He has no professional ethics at all. The investors just said a few words and asked him to change his mind. Why didn't he stick to the original plan? What a spineless guy!
Xiao Tiancheng secretly hated the previous director and followed Lu Yian and the others to their seats.
After the group sat down, the waiter brought up a few menus. Cao Yuhao took the menus and ordered the dishes very skillfully: "This, this, and this, I want them all."
After ordering his favorite food, he ran to Jiaojiao with the menu and asked Jiaojiao to order as well.
Jiaojiao looked up at her father.
Li Yubai took the menu and spread it out in front of Jiaojiao: "Order."
Hearing this, Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked at the menu very carefully, and finally ordered a steamed fish and braised lion's head.
The group ordered a lot of dishes, but this restaurant served the food unexpectedly quickly. Not long after the menu was sent out, the hot dishes were served.
The crowd, who had been hungry for a long time, did not care about formalities and started eating with their chopsticks.
All the young guests present were able to skillfully use chopsticks to pick up food and eat by themselves, except Jiaojiao who was still being fed by her father.
Seeing this, Cao Youen came over and held Jiaojiao in his arms: "Xiao Li, you eat. I'll feed Jiaojiao."
Li Yubai blocked his hand and looked at him sideways: "Director Cao, maybe I didn't explain it clearly before. Jiaojiao has been adopted by me from the orphanage. He is my child, so I won't bother you anymore."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, especially Lu Yian, Shi Yue, Chen Yingke, Xiao Tiancheng and others. They all felt that Li Yubai was either crazy or confused by the whitewashing remarks on the Internet.
No matter how cute the child is, you can't adopt him blindly. Adoption means you will be responsible for his life.
That's not a week, a month or a year, it's a lifetime!
Li Yubai ignored their gazes, raised his hand and picked up a piece of meat from the fish's belly, carefully picked out the bones, and then fed it to Jiaojiao.
Director Cao came back to his senses and withdrew his hand awkwardly, but he thought it was a good idea for Li Yubai to adopt Jiaojiao. She looked more alive than before.
In the past, I was cold and emotionless, with no joy or sorrow, and life seemed to be just about completing tasks.
Everything is fine now, and from Jiaojiao's attitude of relying on him, it can be seen that Li Yubai is really taking good care of him.
While eating, Lou Yaoyao and Shi Huairou looked at each other, then looked at Mu Yicheng on the side and said that they had no chance. Mu Yicheng insisted that his father had submitted the application to adopt Jiaojiao to the relevant department.
Mu Yicheng, who was being watched, poked the rice in his bowl a little unhappily, raised his eyes to look at Jiaojiao's happy little face, and then looked away.
Forget it, as a little man, he should be more generous and not be inferior to Lou Yaoyao and Shi Huairou.
Thinking of this, Mu Yicheng lowered his head and took a big mouthful of rice.
After the meal, the group of people continued to head towards their destination, a small county town. During this process, the program team started a live broadcast to warm up.
Netizens who rushed to the scene after hearing the news were very happy and excited to see their long-missed baby and brother and sister again.
"Baby, I can finally see you again!"
"I miss you so much."
"During this time without my child, even food doesn't taste good and water doesn't taste sweet!"
"Brother, I'm so excited to see my brother again!"
'Sister, sister, you are beautiful again!'
Lu Jie, who also entered the live broadcast room, glanced at the comments and then lowered his head to continue reviewing documents, leaving the live broadcast room open.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
After a four-hour flight in the morning and a nearly one and a half hour car ride, the young guests in the car couldn't sit still and couldn't help complaining. Among them, Cao Yuhao complained the loudest.
Jiaojiao, who was unaware of the situation of the cars behind, was sitting in her father's arms and playing tag with him, laughing happily.
"Ah, my Jiaozi is still the cutest!"
'He has such a cute smile!'
"I feel like my baby's face has more flesh than before. It looks a bit chubby. I really want to pinch it!"
'I want to pinch plus one!'
"I want to pinch Jia Er!"
"I could kiss five of these adorable kids until they cry!"
"It's so funny. Looking at the other live broadcast rooms, Xiao Tiancheng is almost going crazy because of Cao Yuhao's torture!"
'Hahaha, those two are truly enemies!'
"Our Jiaozi is really good at sitting still. He will definitely be a good student in the future!"
"Just because you can't sit still doesn't mean you'll be good at studying, okay?"
"I was just sighing casually..."
"That's right, there's no need to exaggerate!"
As the comments on the barrage gradually became more interesting, the vehicle, after driving for a distance, entered a road with towering mountains on both sides. Looking out of the car window, the towering and steep cliffs looked like giants standing between heaven and earth, giving people a sense of how insignificant human beings are.
As the car drove on, Jiaojiao, who was playing a game of catch with her father, suddenly raised her head and blurted out a sentence without thinking: "Uncle driver, stop the car!"
In the Wanbo Group office, Lu Jie stopped reviewing the documents after hearing Jiaojiao's words and looked up at the screen.
