Under the night sky, Zhang Guoqing's face remained unchanged, but his heart was pounding. He had a feeling that this Hu Xiaohui was the same Hu Xiaohui.
Who in the world could forge records without even taking a photo? And just walk away from a prestigious university without even attending?
He understood too well what a household registration represented. If an ordinary person lost their household registration, could she survive? It could only mean that someone had taken care of it for her long ago.
Even those enemy spies wouldn't dare to mess around. A person who shows up at a new address can't match their address. Isn't that courting death?
So many thoughts flashed through his mind in a flash. Zhang Guoqing took it silently, held the envelope, looked at his brother who was almost as thin as a skeleton, and hardened his heart to hold his hand.
"Do you mind letting Zhou Jiao know?"
Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Even if she finds you, she will know. I trust you two."
Zhang Guoqing pulled his hand and walked back, "Don't rush back yet. Let's go talk to Jiaojiao about this. She knows a few girls who are very important, so it would be more appropriate to let her handle it."
Li Qinglin couldn't refuse, so he didn't even need to pull him. He quickly quickened his pace. It would be even better if Zhou Jiao could help. An ordinary person might not be able to look up information. But she was Zhou Xiaozheng's daughter, with connections and means, and was indeed more reliable than his brother-in-law.
"Will she find it troublesome?"
Zhang Guoqing replied with certainty, "No!"
If there were no clues, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and Zhou Jiao would probably be impatient. But now, if she could just look at the handwriting and roughly confirm that it was Hu Xiaohui, she would definitely be very interested.
The two brothers walked arm in arm along the gravel road leading to the foot of the North Mountain, and from a distance they saw a group of young wives gathered in front of a house.
Among a group of women chatting while busy twisting ropes or mending shoes, the one leisurely waving a fan was none other than Zhou Jiao. Perhaps they were talking about something amusing, for the women were laughing non-stop.
Before Zhang Guoqing and his partner could get close, his cousin Liu Cui'e, who had sharp eyes, saw them and shouted, "Look who's here! They're looking for a wife in just a short while. Aren't you ashamed, a grown man?"
"They are still young, so let's learn from them."
"Can Jiaojiao handle Xiaowu's body?"
Zhou Jiao: “…” These old ladies are crazy, they just say dirty words casually.
She quickly stood up and said goodbye, "I have guests coming over, I'll go back first. Come to my house when you have time."
Li Qingshan's wife patted the people around her and said, "Speak less. Our little sister-in-law is shy." Then she waved at Zhou Jiao and said, "Go quickly. She may need you for something."
Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, walked forward a few steps, met Zhang Guoqing, and the two followed her and hurried home.
"Want to play some more?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head. If it weren't for the invitation, she really wouldn't want to go out. She'd be better off just cooking some delicious food and reading a book. The group of women chattered away, their topics rambling, all over the place, nothing of any use at all.
After arriving home, Zhang Guoqing closed the gate, lit the kerosene lamp with a lighter, and went into the living room carrying the lamp.
"Where did you get the lighter? Give me one if you have one."
"Don't give me that! I stole this from Dayong. But I can't keep it anymore. My dad was still craving it yesterday, so I have to give it to him."
Zhou Jiao smiled silently and glanced at Zhang Guoqing. This guy was lying so easily now. He had brought a lot back home. Wan Dayong had already given the one to his father. And he said Ping An was stingy, but he wasn't much more generous.
"Don't bother with these little gadgets. You'll have so many of them in the future that you won't even notice them," Zhang Guoqing said with a half-hearted smile. To be frank, if this was really Hu Xiaohui, this guy was truly lucky. How could he even care about these foreign goods?
"Just make it up!" Li Qinglin smiled nonchalantly.
The more Zhang Guoqing thought about it, the funnier it became.
After entering the living room and the three of them sat down, he handed the envelope to Zhou Jiao, "Open it and take a look. Lin Zi is looking for this person, and the information is all inside."
Zhou Jiao glanced at him suspiciously, and when he smiled and winked, she asked, "Is he someone very important?"
"Look first, and you'll know."
Zhou Jiao glanced at Li Qinglin and noticed he was looking down at the ground. Was he embarrassed? This was truly a once-in-a-century sight! She was immediately intrigued.
Zhou Jiao pulled out two pieces of paper from the envelope and took a look at them under the light. She was stunned by the name and the handwriting...
She immediately looked at Zhang Guoqing questioningly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the one from Lin Zi, right?"
Zhang Guoqing kept an eye on her movements. Even though Zhou Jiao looked calm, who was he? He thought he knew his wife inside and out. He had actually predicted this.
He smiled and nodded, "Yes! Linzi's girlfriend. She dropped out of school before and left without saying goodbye, leaving Linzi to wait for her until graduation. Linzi was worried about her and went to the south to look for her, but the girl at the address didn't match her. Linzi was worried that she might have had an accident and was anxious to find her."
Li Qinglin looked up at Zhou Jiao and said, "Can we find someone with this information?"
Zhou Jiao couldn't bear to look at his hopeful eyes. That damn girl was doomed! How dare she lie to such an innocent child?
"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask you a few questions. You must tell the truth."
"Okay, ask."
Zhou Jiao's mind raced, her fingers tapping on the armrests of the chair as she stared at him, "Are you sure about the other person?"
Li Qinglin nodded.
"Then tell me what other characteristics she has? Trying to find someone with this information is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Maybe this name is even fake."
"Alas... I knew it. But this person just disappeared inexplicably, and my heart..." Li Qinglin said, rubbing his face fiercely with his hands.
Zhou Jiao saw his skinny face and the melancholy and helplessness in his tone, and she really couldn't bear to ask any more questions. But some things forced her to ask.
"Are you sure she loves you? Look at these two notes. One asks you to wait, and the other says you don't have to wait for her. What if we find her and she gets married? What will you do?"
Okay. Asked here, Zhou Jiao admitted that she was just bored and wanted to watch the fun. That damn girl was so secretive! She even said she didn't want to find a partner at such a young age. She's been out for so long, and she didn't reveal a single word. Okay, I have to teach her a lesson this time!
No way! I left her my school address when I returned home. Could it be that that damned girl couldn't figure out where my man, Zhang Guoqing, was from? Then wouldn't she know if she matched them up?
"There are some things I can't bring up, but I'm 100% sure that she has me in her heart. If...if she gets married and lives a happy life, then I can only wish her the best. Zhou Jiao, please find a way to help me. I must meet her in person and ask her what she means, otherwise I won't be able to let go."
Zhang Guoqing punched him and scolded him with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, you idiot brother! Stop putting a hat on yourself!"
Li Qinglin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at him several times, "You jealous bastard!"
Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Alright, leave it to me. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Li Qinglin perked up when he heard that. "How long do you think it will take? It costs money to hire someone. How much can I send you tomorrow? Don't be polite with me. This is not only about relationships but also favors. I can't let you lose money."
