Chapter 556 Your Family Is Also My Family
Lu Yuanqiu understood what she meant. He and Bai Qingxia claimed to be friends with Zhang Li, but they only knew her name and job position. Even her age and place of origin were relatively vague. There was very little useful information they could provide.
From Bai Qingxia's description, it turned out that Sister Li never liked to talk about her own affairs with others, and Bai Qingxia was not the type of person who was curious about this aspect in the past.
In this embarrassing situation, the words of the two of them are always less important than those of Zhang Li's family.
So when he heard Zhang Li's family say that Zhang Li was fine, the uncle in uniform was not very willing to handle this "missing case". After all, there are too many people who report missing cases in daily life because of various trivial matters.
But Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia still felt that this matter was abnormal, especially Bai Qingxia. She could not prove how good her relationship with Zhang Li was, but based on their past interactions, she didn't believe that Zhang Li would cut off contact with her without saying a word.
Zhang Li is not such a person.
The uncle in uniform may have some personal opinions about Zhang Li's occupation, but his guess is not unreasonable. Zhang Li is most likely hiding from debt.
Considering the fact that Zhang Li asked Aunt Zhang to take Bai Songzhe to live in another place, the reason of "hiding from debt" can also be explained clearly. She may not want the debt collectors to harm Bai Songzhe who lives next door.
But Lu Yuanqiu didn't understand one thing.
Even if Li Jie was really on the run from her debt, how could she hide from the cameras? What kind of debt collector would have the power to adjust the cameras?
Of course, nothing is absolute. Sister Li may have looked at the camera subconsciously out of nervousness at that time, which does not mean anything.
Therefore, it is hard to say what has happened so far. We can only find Sister Li first. She is no longer just a simple neighbor to Bai Qingxia, and Lu Yuanqiu has long regarded Sister Li as a friend.
Even if Sister Li really decided not to contact Bai Qingxia anymore, she would have to find someone to ask her in person and find out the reason. Otherwise, it would become a source of worry for Bai Qingxia. After all, she doesn't have many friends or relatives.
After thinking it over again and again, Lu Yuanqiu finally said, "Call your director over."
The uncle in uniform looked at him blankly, with a look that said, "If you tell me to shout, I'll shout."
In the end, Director Song shouted "Hey, hey" and ran over happily.
I know Lu Yuanqiu, the director of Baoyuan District Police Station. His surname is Song. He is a bald middle-aged man who is quite familiar with my third uncle.
It was because of him that Lu Yuanqiu was able to learn in the hospital ward that “Uncle in Overalls” was Bai Qingxia’s father.
Despite this relationship, Lu Yuanqiu still didn't bother Director Song to do anything. After all, the information that Sister Li had conveyed so far didn't indicate that her personal safety was threatened. She was just hiding from someone, no one knew who she was hiding from, but she was hiding from Bai Qingxia as well.
In this situation, Lu Yuanqiu was reluctant to trouble his third uncle. His third uncle had a sensitive identity and was usually very busy. Lu Yuanqiu would only ask for help when he encountered something he could not handle properly.
With the intervention of Director Song, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia obtained Sister Li's hometown address. With the idea of finding the person first, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the two officially boarded the high-speed train to Qishan City.
"Ask Sister Li's family what the situation is. Then, if we have time, we can go to Huangshan for a stroll to make up for the regret of not being able to see the giant pandas." Lu Yuanqiu put the suitcase on top of his head, sat down in his seat, and said to Bai Qingxia with a smile.
Bai Qingxia didn't say anything, but just held the little white bag in her arms and stared at him apologetically. Just looking at this look can melt one's heart.
Lu Yuanqiu smacked his lips, frowned, and rubbed Bai Qingxia's head: "What's that look? Do you think you're bothering me again?"
Bai Qingxia didn't respond and lowered her head slightly.
Lu Yuanqiu sat closer to her and comforted her, "Sister Li is also my friend. She cut off contact without saying a word. I also want to find her and ask her what happened. I just remembered that I still owe her a set of cosmetics, so I have to make up for it."
After saying that, Lu Yuanqiu opened a bag of potato chips. The two of them prepared a lot of snacks for the trip, and now they could only treat the current journey as a trip.
He passed the first potato chip to Bai Qingxia's mouth. Just as Bai Qingxia was about to open her mouth, Lu Yuanqiu pulled his hand back and said, "Don't just look at me. Talk."
Bai Qingxia nodded: "I understand."
"Know what?"
Bai Qingxia looked at him: "My friends are your friends."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and stuffed potato chips into her mouth, adding: "Not only that, your relatives are also my relatives."
Bai Qingxia chewed potato chips and smiled. Most importantly, she felt more clear in her mind. She quickly said, "We are the same."
"Same? Then Tan Le, do you want to be friends?" Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her.
Bai Qingxia was speechless when she thought of the guy who kept farting. After hesitating for several seconds, she finally shook her head according to her heart.
Lu Yuanqiu laughed out loud.
"It's not fair. You have so many relatives and friends, but I have so few." The girl retorted.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that her expression began to ease, Lu Yuanqiu pointed to the small table in front of him and said, "You haven't put the table down for me in a long time."
Bai Qingxia thought about it and glanced at Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu leaned back and looked like he was letting her do what she wanted. Bai Qingxia finally reached out her hand, turned the knob, put down Lu Yuanqiu's folding table, then looked in front of her and put down her own folding table as well.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled.
Although there was a period of time when Bai Qingxia forced herself to grow up and stopped doing things that she thought were "childish", Lu Yuanqiu did not want to see Bai Qingxia forcing herself to grow up. He only wanted to see Bai Qingxia deal with life in the most natural state.
At around 4pm, the two got off the train at the Qishan High-Speed Railway Station. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the address written on his phone note and muttered, "It will probably be dark by the time we get to the county. We definitely won't be able to go to Sister Li's village tonight. Let's find a hotel in the county to stay for the night."
Bai Qingxia nodded. Apart from going to Zhucheng, this was her second time in a strange city. She completely relied on Lu Yuanqiu to make decisions. On the way to get a taxi, she kept holding Lu Yuanqiu's hand, fearing that they would be separated by the crowd.
During the May Day holiday, there were so many people coming to Huangshan, of all kinds, so crowded that the area near the station was filled with people.
"This county is a bit remote, and the journey is quite long." As we got into the taxi, the driver in front of us responded in the Mo Nan dialect.
Mo Province is the province with the biggest differences between the north and the south. There are five dialects in the entire province. Lu Yuanqiu is not a native of Lucheng. His household registration is in the rural area of Mobei, but he grew up in Lucheng. Bai Qingxia is actually from Lucheng, but they both spoke Mandarin since childhood.
So when they heard the driver speaking Mo Nan dialect, they both leaned their heads out from the back seat, were stunned for a moment, and it took them a while to understand.
