Chapter 25 No One Will Come to Find You
"Damn, I forgot to ask Li Xiaoya to take some quilts and clothes back first." Sheng Yuxiao sat in the ward and couldn't help but frowned.
"Forget it, I'll bring it to her when I get back."
After Li Xiaoya returned to Lijia Village, Sheng Yuxiao stayed in the ward in a restless state, worried that Qin Sui had won Li Xiaoya away.
He swiped the screen of his phone, not even showing any interest in opening the game icons on it.
The young master made a phone call when he had nothing to do: "Hey, Brother Yang, can you give me the phone number of the investment promotion office here?"
The comments were still guessing: [Is the young master going to invest now? ]
[With so much money, investing is as easy as eating and drinking. I envy you.]
[It would be great if you could come to my place to record the show, my hometown is also very poor]
The discussion was still going on in the comments when the camera went black.
That was because Sheng Yuxiao temporarily removed the camera and microphone.
Soon the small ward became lively, and Sheng Yuxiao met some people here.
These people were also quite shocked. In the past, investments were made at drinking parties, but today, they were made in the hospital ward. How fresh. And they had never seen a big money sponsor so proactive!
"Sit down, everyone, you're welcome."
Sheng Yuxiao restrained his arrogant aura, which was quite flattering.
"Is this what Mr. Sheng meant?" someone asked carefully.
Sheng Yuxiao shook his finger: "To be honest, my dad doesn't like this kind of project. It's useless for you to bother with it."
The person on the other side was anxious: "Then..."
Sheng Yuxiao said: "I can vote for you."
"you……"
"I'll invest the money I'd use to buy a sports car next year in you. It's six million."
The man on the other side suddenly became excited and urged the assistant beside him: "Come, give the plan to this person..."
Sheng Yuxiao interrupted: "No, I won't look at this for now." He paused and said: "Isn't there a Shiniu Town here? In Shiniu Town, there is a person. I don't know where he works exactly, but I know his name is Li Song, and he is the son of the village chief of Lijia Village. Oh, I was recording a program in Lijia Village recently, you also know it, right?"
"I know, I know. This Li Song..." The person on the other side paused and asked tactfully, "Has he offended you?"
Sheng Yuxiao turned on his phone and played the recorded conversation.
"Listen, you're so capable that you can plot against me." Sheng Yuxiao said with a sneer.
Half an hour later, the group left the ward.
After they walked out, their first words were: "This Li Song has a bad character. He has a huge impact on our reputation! How will people judge us in the future? Are poor and bad places the source of bad people? Can we still attract investment?"
"This kind of black sheep must not be kept."
In the ward, Sheng Yuxiao reinstalled the camera and was not in a hurry to post the recording online.
That recording still has a use afterwards.
After a while, Shengjun came to check on him again and asked in surprise, "Are you feeling good?"
Sheng Yuxiao nodded.
He was waiting to see how Li Xiaoya would thank him. Would the child be so moved that he would cry? Thinking about that scene, Sheng Yuxiao felt very comfortable.
Before I knew it, it was 6:30 in the evening.
Qin Sui went out with a gloomy face and said to the production team: "Li Xiaoya hasn't come back yet."
The production crew also felt that it was a bit late, so they went in and asked Grandpa Li for the phone number of that cousin's mother-in-law's family.
Uncle Li knew nothing about anything.
The production crew's brows gradually furrowed: "Grandpa Li said he didn't know the number of my cousin's mother-in-law's house."
Qin Sui felt that something was wrong: "How did they pass the message? How did Grandpa Li know that Li Xiaoya's cousin wanted her to go home?"
The program crew thought about it and immediately went back to ask.
【Qin Sui has a good brain! 】
[If you ask me, the production team shouldn’t have let Li Xiaoya go alone. It would be very dangerous for a child that old to go on the road.]
[Li Xiaoya has lived here since she was born. Doesn't she know more than you? She is used to visiting relatives. What can go wrong? ]
After a while, the staff member came out again and relayed, "Grandpa Li said that it was his cousin who called the village store, and the store staff then came to pass on the message to him."
"Go to the convenience store." Qin Sui spoke immediately.
The store had an old-fashioned landline phone installed, and the owner stood by the phone, spitting out melon seed shells while saying, "Who would remember the phone number? They're not my relatives."
Qin Sui gave him a gloomy look.
Qin Sui was obviously not even half the age of the boss, but the boss was so frightened by his look that the melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground.
The program crew took a peek at Qin Sui's face and knew that there was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully, so they all started to move: "Go ask, ask every household, ask who knows where Li Xiaoya's cousin's mother-in-law lives, even if they know the number..."
Qin Sui interrupted: "There is money as a reward."
When the store owner heard this, he felt a pain in his chest and immediately hated himself for not writing down the number!
This was the most lively day in Lijia Village, except for the time when Li Qingqing left and the village chief set off countless firecrackers.
However, the electricity supply in Lijia Village was not very good. As time went by and it got dark, the lights went out little by little. Except for a few houses with lights on, every other place was dark.
"Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to look for it? It's late at night and there are dirt roads everywhere. It's impossible to drive. Even if you use a flashlight and walk on your own, you can easily fall into the ditch." The chief director advised.
Qin Sui responded with "Yeah".
This made the audience's heart hang in suspense.
Only a few people are still singing the opposite tune: [It can be seen from the script of the program team, okay? Maybe they are deliberately using this opportunity to whitewash Lai Siu-ya]
When the village chief found out that the program crew was looking for people everywhere, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
"These people have nothing to do, why are they paying attention to this?" the village chief cursed.
In his opinion, if a rural child did not return home after visiting relatives for one night, it should be a small matter. Why did these city people get so anxious?
The village chief quickly comforted himself, it's okay, it's okay. That was done by Grandpa Li himself. Can't the elders make decisions for the children? Why should these outsiders take care of it?
At this time, Li Xiaoya had been taken to the city by his uncle.
My cousin smiled and said, "Don't think about it. No one will come to find you."
He carried Li Xiaoya into the community and said, "You've never seen such a beautiful place, have you? Uncle lives here. Uncle will take you to live with him. That's a blessing you won't get in eight lifetimes, understand?"
This is a high-end residential area in the county.
Although it cannot be compared with big cities, it is indeed very famous locally.
Li Xiaoya said hoarsely: "I don't want blessings."
My cousin’s face changed with anger, but he soon calmed down and said with a smile: “You haven’t lived a good life. If you have lived it, you won’t want to leave.”
As they were talking, a down-and-out middle-aged man came towards them with a briefcase under his arm.
The man saw Li Xiaoya at first sight.
There's nothing I can do. The child is too pretty and stands out.
The man's eyes lit up.
Isn't this the girl who drove the Maybach to sell mushrooms that day? So she lives here? I wonder if the young master Qin next to her is here!
The man was the small boss who bought all the expensive mushrooms in one go that day.
He wanted to talk to someone that day, but he didn't have the chance.
Now the opportunity has come to your doorstep!
"Brother!" The man came up and was about to hand Uncle Li a cigarette.
Uncle Li didn't want to cause any trouble, so he pretended not to see it and walked straight ahead.
Li Xiaoya had a good memory and immediately remembered the young boss.
She opened her mouth and shouted: "Uncle, help..."
In a flash, the uncle realized that she knew the man, so he covered Li Xiaoya's mouth and threatened her in a low voice: "If you dare to talk nonsense, uncle will hang you up and spank you."
After saying that, my uncle picked up Li Xiaoya and hurried away.
The man's hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air and he was stunned.
At this time, Uncle Li's wife smiled and said, "The child is very sleepy on the way, don't disturb his sleep, otherwise it will be difficult to comfort him later."
Then he hurriedly followed.
There was a boy next to the woman, about fourteen or fifteen years old, who walked with a limp and was silent.
The man watched the family walk away, feeling a strong sense of disharmony.
Thinking that he was about to go bankrupt, the man decided to follow the girl. After finding out where she lived, he would visit her tomorrow with some cigarettes and alcohol.
Uncle Li was very strong. When Li Xiaoya was put down, there were clear fingerprints on his lips.
The uncle shook his head and said to her, "You are not very obedient. I have to teach you a lesson." He turned to his wife and said, "Lock her up. Don't give her any blankets or water."
