Chapter 358 Pretending



Qi Yuan also realized something was off about those words: "Yaqin, is there something you haven't told me?"

"Sigh!" Qi Yaqin sighed.

"Yue'er asked me for money again last night..."

Dad, as you know, I've already given her a lot of money.

So... I just asked, "What happened to the money I gave her before?"

As it turned out, she said she lost it!

A few days ago, I watched her sew pockets onto her clothes and then sew money into them.

I figured this child has suffered too much, and this is such a petty thing. I'll try to persuade her to change slowly in the future, so I'll just let her be.

She told me last night that she had lost all her money!

That's when I realized the child was lying!

So, I... I couldn't help but say a few words to her.

She went back to her room crying...

I... I stood outside and watched until the lights in her room went out before I went back into my room!

Who knew this would happen so early in the morning...

If I had known, I would have... I would never have said a word to her!

How could I possibly……

Qi Yuan stamped his foot: "What exactly did you say to Yue'er? What did your mother say about you when she was alive? — Your loose tongue will get you into big trouble sooner or later!"

Qi Yaqin cried, "As long as Yue'er can be found... I, I will never say another word about her again! I will do whatever she wants!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi finally understood.

—It turns out that Xia Tianxiu asked Qi Yaqin for money again because she took all of Xia Tianxiu's money!

—It turns out that after Xia Tianxiu failed to get money, she took some snacks and a kettle and hid in the semi-basement of the medicinal spring pool, which was a runaway from home!

A runaway from home, driven by a sense of self-importance!

Su Ruyi raised an eyebrow.

Summer showed off this trick, and it actually worked!

Qi Yaqin was about to lose her temper, and Qi Yuan was also clearly very anxious and agitated: "Qi Yaqin! I've asked you ten times since this morning, haven't I? Why won't you talk about your quarrel?"

Qi Yaqin muttered, "If I'd told you, you wouldn't have sent so many people to search..."

"You..." Qi Yuan was speechless with anger, "You're simply unreasonable!"

"I'm being unreasonable!" Qi Yaqin roared. "If Yue'er can't be found, I won't live either! I've been separated from her for fifteen years, a full fifteen years! Dad, if you don't find Yue'er for me, I won't live!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ruyi understood that Qi Yaqin was deliberately keeping quiet about the mother-daughter argument.

In this way, Qi Yuan would not think that Xia Tianxiu ran away on her own, but would think that she was kidnapped by the remaining spies!

She is in great danger!

That's why they went to such lengths to find her!

Su Ruyi narrowed her eyes—this Qi Yaqin, at such an old age, is still playing such tricks on her own father?

Seeing that Su Ruyi's expression was strange, Qi Yaqin quickly stepped forward, grabbed her, and asked, "Little girl, do you know something?!"

Su Ruyi shook her head: "I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with Xia Tianxiu."

"What Xia Tianxiu? Her name is Qiao Tianyue!" Qi Yaqin was so angry she almost fainted. "You little brat, watch your mouth!"

"Yaqin!" Qi Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yaqin, saying to Su Ruyi, "I'm so sorry, Doctor Su, my daughter was just too anxious!"

"It's alright," Su Ruyi said. "Given your condition today, it's not suitable to treat you. Once your granddaughter is found, you can send someone to find me again."

After saying that, she picked up her large medicine box and left.

She first went to Shen Heping's place, gave him a few instructions, and then returned to her own residence.

As she walked back to her room, she immediately saw Xiao Zhao waiting there, standing ramrod straight.

Su Ruyi unlocked the padlock but didn't let Xiao Zhao in: "Guard Zhao, I don't need anyone to protect me here. By the way, Shen Heping is here. He said he brought you a message from General Shen. Go and take a look."

Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Xiao Zhao turned and left, and Su Ruyi locked the door and lay down on the bed.

She had just spoken to Shen Heping, asking him to keep Xiao Zhao trapped for one night.

Shen Heping readily agreed.

Evening came quickly.

Su Ruyi changed into a black outfit and headed towards the locked medicinal spring marked on the map.

Her divine sense cleared a path a dozen meters in front of her.

When she encounters people, she hides in her private space.

She came out again after the person left.

Once they were a dozen meters away from the red circle on the map, Su Ruyi easily found Xia Tianxiu's hiding place.

Su Ruyi entered the space and pondered for a while.

According to Li Wang's intelligence, Xia Tianxiu is currently hiding alone in that godforsaken place, which is the perfect opportunity for her to eliminate any future troubles.

But how did Xia Tianxiu know that there was such a mechanism in this place?

Su Ruyi released her divine sense once again within the space.

Summer Show is currently hiding in this semi-basement.

She huddled on the mat, her hands clutching a thermos, still shivering from the cold.

She really went to great lengths to get Qi Yaqin to compromise!

Based on the clues provided by Li Wang, pulling the movable brick will reveal the entrance to this semi-basement.

Summer will naturally wake up.

It takes about ten seconds to walk around from where that brick is to the entrance.

Those ten seconds were enough for Xia Tianxiu to run away.

Therefore, the entrance must be sealed off first.

Su Ruyi looked around and searched for a long time, but couldn't find anything suitable to seal the door.

Just as she was considering what from her space would be the safest way to seal the door, a flashlight suddenly shone down on her.

Immediately following was Qi Yuan's voice: "Director Li, why didn't you say so sooner?"

The person called Director Li is the director of Fangchi Hot Spring Sanatorium.

At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat: "It was because of your granddaughter's matter that I suddenly had a thought and called our old station chief. That's how he told me about the existence of this shelter! Even I just found out!"

Su Ruyi watched as a group of seven or eight people walked past her, talking.

Director Li went around to the front, squatted down, and started searching, clearly looking for the movable brick.

Qi Yuan's entourage dispersed and professionally surrounded the entire row of houses.

Su Ruyi remained in the space without moving.

She watched as Director Li pulled the bricks, and then the entrance appeared.

She tried, and her divine sense could detect that Xia Tianxiu was curled up inside, but she couldn't pull her into the space!

To pull someone into the space, her hand must touch the person being pulled!

Su Ruyi beat her chest and stamped her feet in frustration.

The flashlight beams converged, and one of Director Li's bodyguards slipped through the entrance.

His voice immediately came through: "Qiao Tianyue is inside!"

Qi Yuan hurriedly asked, "How is she?"

Guard: "I'm a little terrified!"

As they were talking, the guards carefully dragged out Xia Tianxiu, whose face was pale!
