Chapter 660 Escape
Gu Yuanniang was also standing aside and feeling regretful. She had only seen people dying for love in novels before, and very few of them were actually seen in real life. Meeting them and hearing their stories seemed like something from another world, which made her sigh.
After preparing all the things for the deceased and burying them together according to Lianzhi's last wish, Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang packed up and returned home.
But until they arrived at the mansion, neither of them was in a very good mood. Dabao and Li Yi were silent, as if they were using their silence to commemorate the lost love.
"What are you doing?"
A warm feeling came from behind, and Xu Miaomiao fell into Song Wushao's arms and was held by him.
Xu Miaomiao smiled, stood up straight, and then turned her eyes to Song Wushao in front of her, staring at him and said: "I don't believe you haven't heard about what happened today."
Song Wushao sat aside, writing something on a scroll: "I heard it."
"Now that you've heard about it, what do you think?"
Looking up, Song Wushao met Xu Miaomiao's eyes. He smiled at her and said to her, "You want to ask me if I would commit suicide for love."
As if her thoughts had been exposed, Xu Miaomiao lowered her head with a bit of shyness and ignored Song Wushao.
Pulling the person in front of him over, Xu Miaomiao fell steadily into Song Wushao's arms. Staring at Xu Miaomiao's shy appearance, Song Wushao said slowly: "I won't let you get hurt."
Xu Miaomiao blushed and immediately understood what Song Wushao meant. He simply ignored this issue and would not get hurt. Then no one would die and there would be no such thing as suicide for love.
Although he didn't give a direct answer, Xu Miaomiao was also happy with his words, and the two of them huddled together began to whisper again.
When the day broke, the surroundings were already cold. Song Wushao had already gotten up and left to busy himself with his own things. Xu Miaomiao simply lay on her bed and enjoyed the days of staying in bed.
But before he could finish lying in bed for two seconds, a voice rang out beside him: "Mom, I have something happy to tell you today!"
Hearing Erbao's voice, Xu Miaomiao hurriedly put on her clothes. The next moment, the door suddenly opened and Erbao walked in immediately. He smiled at Xu Miaomiao with an account book in his hand: "Mother, I found a way to make the accounting easier."
"What?"
Xu Miaomiao leaned over and listened to Erbao's explanation.
But in fact, after all, it was just a change of algorithm. Although there was no difference, Xu Miaomiao still smiled, touched Erbao's head, and said to her: "You are so smart. It's amazing that you can think of this."
"Hey, thank you, mother."
Erbao smiled and showed his teeth to Xu Miaomiao.
"Madam, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
Listening to Xiao Si's report, Xu Miaomiao smiled at Erbao, touched her head, and then followed Xiao Si out.
When she came to the hall and saw the man, Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked.
Because the person in front of them was Xiao Si, who used to work as a handyman in the shop opened by Li Yi. When they went to investigate secretly before, they encountered this Xiao Si who made things difficult for them.
Xu Miaomiao sat down at the side, and then turned her eyes to Xiao Si in front of her, staring at him and said, "I wonder what important matter this gentleman has come here for today?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Si immediately bowed to Xu Miaomiao, with a somewhat flustered expression and movements. Xu Miaomiao didn't pay much attention to it, but just listened to Xiao Si's slow narration: "Madam, the owner of my store ran away..."
When Xiao Si said this, he was a little anxious. He was really afraid that Xu Miaomiao would think that he was involved in this matter.
"Run away?" Xu Miaomiao asked in confusion.
Xiao Si in front of him was terrified. He knelt down in front of Xu Miaomiao and explained hastily, "I really don't know, madam. Yesterday he said he would sort out the accounts himself, so he let me go back first. Although I wondered why he was so kind since he always exploited me, I left immediately without thinking too much. But who knew that when I came back today, there was no one there."
Xu Miaomiao remained silent, just staring at Xiao Si and said, "You get up first."
Xiao Si didn't dare to get up, but just kept his head down. Xu Miaomiao sighed and helped the man up. She looked at him and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. Besides, we all know his information. Since he ran away, we just need to report this matter to the government, and naturally someone will be able to catch him. Even if he is not caught, I am afraid he will have to hide from place to place in the future, and he will not have a safe place to stay."
"So, the lady deliberately didn't let him take out the money he had embezzled, but went to balance the accounts first?"
Xiao Si, who was looking down, seemed to suddenly understand what Xu Miaomiao meant, and began to speak to Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao smiled and nodded: "He took the bill and didn't settle it. That means he fled with the money. Naturally, we have reason to arrest him. If he paid the bill, we would not be able to control him. It's a pity that he probably can't pay it back, so he ran away like this.
Speaking of this, Xu Miaomiao just smiled. Although this person was quite clever, he must have thought of this, but why did he still run away?
Although she was still confused, Xu Miaomiao still asked Li Yi to go to the government office. Now these trivial matters were handled by Song Wushao. Besides, it was that man who escaped first, so naturally they could not be blamed.
I thought this person could run very far, but the news came in the afternoon.
Song Wu Shao came back earlier today, and Xu Miaomiao was a little curious: "Why is he here so early today?"
"Of course I have to take care of the shop at home besides thieves."
Xu Miaomiao smiled, then looked at Song Wushao and said, "I thought Li Yi would definitely meet you when he went to the government office, but I didn't expect the news to come out so quickly. Could it be that you have been paying attention to my affairs?"
Song Wu Shao smiled and said nothing, but Xu Miaomiao already understood. She thought that this must be the case. Otherwise, how could she have got the news so quickly.
"That person actually didn't run far. He has always been in Bai County, a place you wouldn't expect."
"He stole something that day and just ran away. He even dared to stay in Bai County. He is so bold. We must investigate him thoroughly. Maybe he has done more bad things than these.
"He won't be able to get away any time soon."
