"Okay." Miao Bishenghua waited for the host with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Bai Xi closed her eyes, pinched her fingers, and muttered incantations.
Whenever she closes her eyes to perform calculations, the viewers in the live chat quietly gaze at the streamer's beautiful face on the screen.
One minute later, Bai Xi opened her eyes.
“Your brother is still alive and out of immediate danger. He is being held in a thatched hut.”
Upon hearing that her brother was still alive, Miao Bishenghua's long-standing worries finally subsided.
She said, "Host, where is my brother now, and what kind of place is thatched house?"
Bai Xi: "The location is a bit far from where you are. It looks like a woodshed in a rural house in the countryside."
She wrote eloquently, "How could my brother have run so far away? I live in the city center, but my brother has gone to the countryside. Who took my brother there?"
Bai Xi said, "If you want to know the truth, you might find out everything when you get there."
He then added, "However, although his life is not in danger, his mental state is not good, as if he has suffered inhuman torture."
Upon hearing this, Miao Bishenghua burst into tears. "My brother is only a three-year-old in terms of intelligence. He has almost never traveled far from home. The only time he went on a long trip was when we took him to the zoo."
Did your brother offend someone?
Miao Bishenghua shook his head, "Although my brother has a low intelligence, he never causes trouble and is very well-behaved, so it's impossible for him to offend anyone."
Are those the rest of your family?
With Bai Xi's directions, Miao Bishenghua boarded the bus to the rural village.
The live stream remained open, with viewers actively and enthusiastically discussing the story with the eloquent writer, trying to find out who was behind it all.
She shook her head when she saw the comments on the screen, saying, "Then it's even more impossible. My parents are from the lower class of society. They are honest and law-abiding, and never cause trouble. Moreover, we have always had a good relationship with our neighbors and relatives. Because of my brother, the neighbors and relatives often help our family."
That's strange. If it's not your parents' side, then isn't it your husband's side that's the problem?
She wrote eloquently, "My husband's family is middle class. His parents are both high-level executives. I have never had to worry about food or clothing since I married him. Over the years, no outsiders have ever caused trouble for my husband's family, nor have we had any disputes with relatives."
That's strange. Did your brother just get unlucky and run into human traffickers?
Human traffickers usually target children or girls, luring them to remote rural areas to become wives and have children. Why would they abduct a grown man, especially one with intellectual disabilities?
[This just shows how ignorant you all are. Who says kidnapped men are useless? Aren't there organ traffickers out there?]
Along the way, no matter how much everyone speculated, they couldn't find anyone to suspect.
She then began to write eloquently, and as she chatted with everyone, she came up with the story of how she and her husband first met.
“My husband and I met at a company party. He was toasting a client and got drunk. The client’s daughter took a liking to him.”
“The other party blocked my husband from leaving and even harassed him. I couldn’t stand it, so I intervened. The client’s daughter got angry and wanted to teach me a lesson. I lost my temper and beat her up, which ruined the cooperation.”
“My husband has a good friend. It was late at the time, and she and I took my husband back to his home.”
“The next day when he came to work, he took the initiative to approach me and pursue me. Not long after, we got together. After we got married, I found out that my husband had been secretly in love with me all along.”
Recalling the past with eloquent words, I realize how quickly time has passed.
In the blink of an eye, she and her husband have been married for eight years.
Wow, how romantic! I never imagined that you, who look so petite and quiet, could be a fighter.
Miao Bishenghua laughed and said, "I have studied Taekwondo for many years. Because of my brother, who has intellectual disabilities, he was often bullied by his peers when we were young. My parents asked me to protect my brother, so after entering junior high school, I chose to learn Taekwondo."
【I see.】
Finally, they arrived at the destination mentioned by the host. After getting out of the car, Miaobishenghua saw the scene in front of her and felt that it was somewhat familiar.
She immediately remembered and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this... my husband's hometown?"
[Oh wow! Is the truth going to come out so soon? Could it be that her husband was behind her brother's kidnapping?]
We'd been guessing all along, but never considered her husband, who's known for his eloquent writing; it turns out it was him after all.
This all makes sense now. At the beginning, as the author mentioned, her husband didn't want her brother to stay in their small family. And as we just discussed, most people can't support their wife while also being kind enough to support her brother.
Bai Xi sat calmly in the live broadcast room, sipping her tea.
Did you see the streamer's expression? It seems like the streamer already knew.
Even top streamers are starting to keep things mysterious these days.
[The streamer clearly knew everything, yet made us guess the whole way; that's so mean.]
[Hahaha, isn't this just for the sake of the show? If you already knew the answer, would you still be interested in watching?]
With her mind completely focused on her brother, she didn't read the comments on the screen and therefore missed the comments about her husband.
The writer, with a vivid imagination, went to the woodshed the anchor had mentioned, only to find the door locked tight.
Through the dilapidated window, she saw her brother lying on a pile of dirty weeds.
Looking at her brother's thin, dark face, Miao Bishenghua could no longer hold back her tears.
"Brother, brother."
[Her brother did indeed suffer inhuman torture, just as the streamer said; it's too tragic.]
Sister, please stop crying. Hurry and save your brother. If the bad guys come back, it will be too late.
With a flourish of her pen, she wiped away her tears and tried to break the lock to rescue her brother.
Viewers in the live chat were also trying to help her.
Bai Xi said, "I checked and the wooden stakes for the window aren't very secure. Go find a stick and pry the window open."
After hearing the host's words, Miao Bishenghua quickly went to find a wooden stick. Once he found it, he went to the window.
She had studied Taekwondo and was stronger than the average person; she pried it open.
She easily pried open the wooden stake on the window, and a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
