Chapter 41: Her Eyes, I Will Never Forget (Votes Requested!!!)
Assistant Mu calmly pushed his glasses and watched his boss click on Weibo and jump to Ruan Qi's Weibo homepage.
Then, he stared at the photo of big eyes on Ruan Qi's Weibo for a full half minute.
Assistant Mu coughed calmly, giving a subtle reminder.
Xi Jiu raised his head from his phone and gave him a cold look.
"continue."
Assistant Mu has long been accustomed to his boss's freezing skills.
He nodded calmly, glanced at the information, and said, "According to our investigation, Miss Ruan's family is indeed in Qingyun Village, Baicheng. Her fourth grandfather, Ruan Qing, died in a car accident on September 5th, ten years ago. Before that, Ruan Qing and Miss Ruan's father flew abroad to visit Miss Ruan's biological eldest brother. They stayed there for two months and did not return until August 29th."
"So, Boss, it's impossible for Miss Ruan's fourth grandfather to appear in Shanghai Fishing Village on August 14th."
Xi Jiu frowned tightly, with a hint of coldness in the corners of his sharp eyes.
He leaned back in his chair, tugged at his tie a little impatiently, and tapped his fingertips on the table.
"What about Ruan Qi? Where is she?"
"At home, in Qingyun Village." Assistant Mu handed the information to Xi Jiu. "August happened to be summer vacation, and Miss Ruan stayed at home the entire month and didn't go to Shanghai. However, there is one strange thing."
Xi Jiu: "What?"
Assistant Mu tapped on the information and said, "Ms. Ruan apparently fell seriously ill in mid-August. She was confined to her home until the end of August. Even more bizarrely, when school started on September 1st, Ms. Ruan's parents asked the school to withdraw her from school."
Xi Jiu: "Why?"
"I'm sick and need recuperation." Assistant Mu replied.
Xi Jiu's breathing became heavy.
What kind of serious illness requires dropping out of school for recuperation?
"Did she go to school again?"
"No." Assistant Mu shook his head. "This is the strangest thing. Miss Ruan only attended elementary school for two years, and her school record after that is blank. And, Boss, there's something else that I'm concerned about."
Xi Jiu: "Speak."
Assistant Mu said, "If Miss Ruan had fallen seriously ill in August ten years ago, she should have gone to the hospital for treatment. But I checked a hundred hospitals, large and small, in and around Baicheng, and there's no record of any medical treatment related to Miss Ruan or her family."
A nine-year-old child is sick, but instead of going to the hospital, he hides at home?
The Ruan family's behavior is so weird.
Xi Jiu looked at the text on the document in silence, his breath becoming heavier and heavier.
A trace of worry flashed across Assistant Mu's eyes.
He hesitated and said, "Boss, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it..."
Xi Jiu: "Speak."
Assistant Mu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly, "Boss, could it be that you recognized the wrong person? Miss Ruan's information is too different from that little girl back then. How about we change someone else—"
"That's her."
"What?" Assistant Mu didn't react.
"It's her." Xi Jiu repeated patiently.
He opened the drawer of his desk and found a sunflower hairband and a dark blue watch lying side by side inside.
Xi Jiu looked at the hairband with a dazed look on his face.
"I will never forget her eyes."
——*——*——
After breakfast, Ruan Qi rode his beloved electric scooter out of the house and headed for Jinhua Entertainment.
Shen Wenqian arranged an acting class for her yesterday. It is said that the instructor is a senior acting professor who has trained many movie stars.
While riding his bike, Ruan Qi recalled the knowledge points he had learned in the Baili system last night.
Suddenly, a sharp brake sound pierced the quiet summer day.
