Chapter 561: War Begins
"Zhang Li is my mother." The little girl explained while panting.
Lu Yuanqiu: "How old are you?"
"11 years old."
Sister Li looks to be in her 30s at most, and her daughter is actually 11 years old?
Lu Yuanqiu didn't ask about the little girl's father, but he probably had some guesses in his mind.
The little girl looked very cautious. She took Bai Qingxia's hand, pulled her, looked at Lu Yuanqiu, and whispered, "Let's talk somewhere else..."
The little girl took Bai Qingxia and Lu Yuanqiu to the back of their house. It was very quiet around them. The little girl reached into her pocket, took out a note and handed it to Bai Qingxia.
Lu Yuanqiu leaned forward to take a look and found that there was a string of public telephone numbers on the note.
"Mom recently called us using this number."
Bai Qingxia asked quickly: "Where is your mother now?"
The little girl shook her head: "Mom didn't say that, but she said those in uniform can't be trusted..."
Hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu frowned in confusion for a moment. This sentence directly escalated the situation. If Sister Li started to hide from the uniform uncle, the nature of the situation would be completely different.
Lu Yuanqiu asked seriously, "Is this what she said?"
"yes."
Bai Qingxia looked at Lu Yuanqiu with a nervous expression. Lu Yuanqiu frowned, and they both had a guess in their minds.
"It's too early to draw conclusions, but no matter what it is, we have to do the right thing." Lu Yuanqiu comforted Bai Qingxia. He squatted down, looked at the number on the note, and asked the little girl: "What else did your mother say? Little sister, I'm a good person, you have to tell me everything you know."
"I know you are good people. Mom often mentions Sister Bai Qingxia..." The little girl suddenly wiped away her tears. She continued, "Mom said the same thing you just said. She said she was doing something very right and righteous, but it would be a little dangerous."
Lu Yuanqiu was confused again. Why should he hide from the uncle who is in charge of justice?
He thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Besides those uncles in uniform, has anyone come to the village recently?"
"A few months ago, there was a group of strangers, but they walked around the village a few times and left in a hurry. They haven't come back since."
"Did your mother say anything else?"
“No more…”
Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Qingxia, his mind a little confused. He first made a conclusion in a low voice: "Sister Li didn't contact us because she must be afraid that danger would involve us."
After that, Lu Yuanqiu picked up the note again and asked the little girl: "Have you called the number on the note?"
"No, my mother won't let me call, and she won't let me tell anyone about the phone call, but Sister Bai Qingxia can definitely give it to me."
Sister Li really loves Bai Qingxia. It can be seen from her daughter’s attitude towards Bai Qingxia, Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.
He nodded, took out his phone and dialed the number. A few seconds later, a man's voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Xiaojiang BBQ, do you need to order food?"
This response surprised Lu Yuanqiu. After he sorted out his thoughts, he quickly smiled and said, "Ah, can we eat at the restaurant? I heard a friend recommend it, but I'm a little confused about where your restaurant is? Is it in the Baoyuan area?"
He said and pressed the speakerphone.
"Lujiang District, Nanxing Road, we are the only family there."
Lu Yuanqiu quickly signaled Bai Qingxia, and Bai Qingxia quickly wrote down the address on her mobile phone.
"Okay, okay, thank you. I'll bring my girlfriend to the restaurant next time."
"You're welcome. Is there anything else you need?"
“No more.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuanqiu did not tell the child where Sister Li was, but just exchanged glances with Bai Qingxia.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled at the little girl and said, "Little sister, don't worry, your mother is fine. You will be able to meet her soon. You can go back first."
"Xiao Hui!"
A woman's voice called out from the other end, and the little girl took a step back: "My grandma called me, I ran away when they weren't paying attention, I want to go back."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded.
Bai Qingxia also waved at her: "Go back quickly."
The little girl turned and walked towards the corner. Just as she reached the corner, she couldn't help but turned around and looked at Lu Yuanqiu and the others, and asked seriously: "Brother and sister, what does my mother do in Lucheng? My grandparents didn't tell me, but the children in the village all called my mother a wild chicken. What does that mean? I think it's ugly."
Lu Yuanqiu's gaze froze.
Bai Qingxia actually didn't know exactly what Sister Li was doing in the KTV, but she thought it must be something bad. She choked up in her throat, didn't respond, and looked at Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu walked towards the little girl, squatted down, and gently stroked her head. "Your mother works for a big company called Lu's Group. She gets a very high salary, so she can build a beautiful little house for you and your grandparents. If anyone scolds your mother again in the future, you can refute it by saying that your mother is from Lucheng Lu's Group."
The little girl laughed: "Really? My mother said that when I earn enough money, she will let me go to a big city to study in junior high school."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded vigorously: "Really, your mother didn't lie to you."
The little girl took a step back happily. She touched the corner of the wall and wiped her tears. She looked at Lu Yuanqiu, then looked at Bai Qingxia behind her. She turned around and ran quickly towards the front door, her back filled with joy.
Lu Yuanqiu stood up, exhaled, turned around and looked at Bai Qingxia.
Bai Qingxia stared at him for a long while and then smiled.
Half an hour later, the two got on the bus back to the county.
Lu Yuanqiu analyzed in the car: "Sister Li may have offended someone, and she is busy. She is planning something big... We need to find someone to ask about the details before we can decide how to help. I will book a high-speed train back to Lucheng later."
Bai Qingxia nodded and paused for half a minute. She suddenly looked up and said firmly, "Sister Li is not a bad person. She must be doing the right thing."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded.
He opened his arms and hugged Bai Qingxia's shoulders.
The phone rang at this time. Lu Yuanqiu took it out and saw that it was Zheng Yifeng.
"Hello? What's wrong?"
"Have you and Bai Qingxia finished touring Huangshan, or not?"
"I don't plan to go anymore. I'm going back."
"That's good. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to disturb your travel mood. Lu Yuanqiu, something happened to our senior."
Lu Yuanqiu: "What's wrong?"
Zheng Yifeng: "He received a message for help from an old clinical classmate, and he ran to the scene to save the man. He beat up the perpetrator. Guess who he beat up?"
Lu Yuanqiu looked forward: "Zhang Yibin."
"You know?"
"Then what?"
"I have reported the case. Zhang Yibin has been arrested for attempted rape, but it is probably difficult to convict him. The old evidence cannot be retrieved, and he has not committed the new crime yet. He claimed that he just invited friends to his home. Senior is also recording his statement at the police station. It's a bit troublesome."
