The moment I drank the water, it seemed as if all the fatigue and turbidity in my body were washed away at once, leaving only relaxation and comfort.
Now, Jian Xun was sure that this was definitely not his illusion. This water really had miraculous effects.
He glanced calmly at Yun Mo who was talking to Zeng Fang, and put the cup into his coat pocket.
After Yun Mo and the others left, the young man pretended to have just returned home and woke up Li Li and Zhu Hongping.
Li Li and Zhu Hongping woke up one after another. Before the mother and daughter could react, the young man immediately explained, "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. My friend went out for something, and I waited for a long time for him to come back. I didn't expect you all fell asleep while waiting."
The motorcycle guy handed Li Li 30 yuan and said, "Sister, please keep this money. Together with the 20 yuan I gave you at the beginning, the total is 50 yuan, which is the amount we agreed on."
Seeing the money, Li Li and Zhu Hongping immediately became excited and forgot about everything else.
After Li Li put the money in her pocket, the young man on the motorcycle said attentively, "It's so late, and my legs are not convenient. Where do you live? I'll take you back on my motorcycle."
Of course Li Li and Zhu Hongping would not refuse a free ride.
It was already late and there were few pedestrians on the road. The motorcycle sped along at lightning speed and soon arrived at the Ling family's door.
Seeing that Zhu Hongping was holding his grandson Ling Jiale in his arms and had no hands to support Li Li, the guy on the motorcycle took the initiative to help Li Li get off the bike.
"Sister, aunt, you guys go back and have some rest. I'll be leaving first."
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Li Li and Zhu Hongping were both tired, so they gave each other a few words of lecture and let the other go.
Ling Jiang had just returned home from business and was in the kitchen boiling water to take a bath. When he saw Li Li limping back from outside, he subconsciously asked with concern, "What's wrong with your foot?"
"I was hit by a motorcyclist."
Hearing that Li Li was hit by a car, Ling Jiang stepped forward and helped her into the house, then looked at her ankle which was in a sprain, "Is the injury serious?"
Li Li glanced at him and said, "The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest. You can't work."
"Then you should have a good rest these days, and I will do the housework."
Li Li felt relieved when she heard her husband's words.
Zhu Hongping put the sleeping Ling Jiale on the bed, covered him with a quilt, then turned around and gave his daughter a look.
Li Li understood and said to her husband Ling Jiang: "My mother is in the house taking care of you. Go and boil some water. You have been sweating all night."
"good."
After Ling Jiang left, Zhu Hongping immediately closed the door and turned to whisper to Li Li: "Li, I'm telling you, don't tell your son-in-law about the money."
Li Li nodded, "I know."
Thinking of the 50 yuan that she had just got, Li Li was so happy that she put her hand into her pocket and was stunned.
Where is the money?
She quickly touched the other pocket, but it was still empty.
Li Li was a little anxious. She lowered her head and searched all her pockets, but still nothing!
Seeing her like this, Zhu Hongping hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Li was anxious and angry, "Mom, the money is gone..."
"How could it be gone? Didn't you put it in your pocket?"
As he spoke, Zhu Hongping personally turned over all of Li Li's pockets, and found them clean and without a penny in sight.
"Could it have been lost somewhere?"
Li Li and Zhu Hongping searched the room and the bed carefully several times but couldn't find it. They then lit candles and walked all the way out, even searching outside the door, but still couldn't find it.
Zhu Hongping thought of something and hurried into the kitchen, "Son-in-law, did you pick up anything just now?"
Ling Jiang shook his head blankly, "No, what's wrong?"
Ling Jiang couldn't stop her and had to let her search.
Some money was found, but it was not the money that Li Li lost.
The money that the motorcycle guy gave him was all in 5- and 10-yuan notes, and the money that Ling Jiang had on him was all 10- and 50-cent notes earned from selling small accessories.
Zhu Hongping didn't believe it and ran to Ling Jiang's room to look for it. After searching for a long time without finding it, he ran to Ling Chunhua's room to look for it.
Ling Chunhua had already fallen asleep, but was pulled out of bed by Zhu Hongping.
Zhu Hongping turned the entire Ling family upside down, but there was still no trace of the 50 yuan.
This really pissed off Li Li and Zhu Hongping. "This is really weird. Could the money just run away on its own?"
"Maybe it was lost on the way back?"
Hearing Ling Jiang's reminder, Zhu Hongping immediately pulled Ling Jiang out to help look for it.

Ling Jiang had no choice but to borrow a flashlight from someone and accompany Zhu Hongping to search along the route the mother and daughter took.
Li Li had a leg injury, so she could only wait at home, but she was not idle either. She racked her brains to recall the details of her return.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that when she got off the motorcycle, the young man helped her and his hand seemed to touch her waist.
He must have stolen the money! —
The young man on the motorcycle is named Xu Gang. He is Xu Lixue’s distant nephew and now works under Xu Lixue.
After completing his task, Xu Gang got on his motorcycle and turned around to meet Xu Lixue and Yun Mo.
"Uncle, Miss Yun, I got the money back."
After parking the motorcycle, Xu Gang immediately returned the 50 yuan that he had "touched" from Li Li's pocket to Yun Mo.
Yun Mo didn't answer. She smiled and said to Xu Lixue, "Boss Xu, you guys have worked hard today. This money is your hard work fee."
Seeing Yun Mo being so generous, Xu Lixue and his nephew Xu Gang were particularly happy.
"Thank you, Miss Yun."
"You're welcome. I'd like you to keep a close eye on Li Li and Yun Yao. If there's any movement, notify me immediately."
"Of course, of course."
After giving a few instructions, Xu Lixue took Xu Gang away, and Yun Mo turned around and returned to Yao Cheng's car.
"Cousin, please send Momo home first. She lives on Guoxing Road."
After the car started, Zeng Fang pulled Yun Mo aside and asked, "Mo Mo, how much did you spend to hire Boss Xu and the others? You've been running around to help me, so I can't let you spend any more money. I'll give you the money tomorrow."
"Don't worry about the money. Wait until this matter is completely resolved."
Zeng Fang held her arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, "Momo, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I really can't imagine what the consequences would be."
Yun Mo smiled and touched her face, "Don't worry, even if I'm not here, there will be other heroes who will come down to earth to save you from the water and fire."
Zeng Fang was amused. "How can I thank you this time, my hero?"
Yun Mo smiled, "Just owe it to me first."
"Alas, I owe you a lot, and I don't know when I can pay you back."
As she was speaking, Yun Mo saw a familiar figure in the distance and quickly asked Yao Cheng to pull over.
