call out!
Almost the instant Qiqi finished speaking, the ghost messenger pulled his head back, extremely annoyed that he had asked that question.
But thinking of the look in Lord Dong Jiu's eyes when he was about to leave, he pursed his lips tightly again.
It seems that King Yama and the others care about the young master quite a bit. Perhaps they will let Master Dong Jiu off the hook because of the young master!
Judging from the ghost messenger's reaction, Qiqi was almost certain that something must have happened to Dong Jiu.
She knew her junior brother.
He's simple-minded and fearless.
Sometimes you don't even know what trouble you've caused, and you're still asking why when disaster strikes.
She couldn't help but feel a little worried.
What could possibly be holding him back for so long?
She couldn't help but want to rush to the underworld right now to see what was wrong with her junior brother.
But if she were to charge in right now, she would definitely be exposed.
She had already sent a message through the ghost messengers: let's wait and see how the underworld reacts.
Qiqi returned to the Huo family.
Mrs. Ji borrowed the Huo family's kitchen to bake cookies for her. When Qiqi returned, she saw Mrs. Ji carrying out a porcelain white plate with various animal-shaped cookies on it.
Mrs. Ji also saw her. "Qi Bao is back! Perfect timing! Mommy baked some cookies, come and have some!"
His gaze swept over the little girl discreetly, and only relaxed when he confirmed that she was not injured.
I had heard from Madam Huo that her youngest daughter had something to deal with alone, and I've been worried ever since.
"Wow, cookies!" Qiqi cheered and immediately ran over, tiptoeing to reach for them.
Madam Ji bent down to make it easier for her to reach it.
"Just eat one first. You haven't washed your hands yet. Go wash your hands and then come back and eat slowly."
Qiqi grabbed a small cookie and stuffed it into her mouth; the rich aroma of milk and flour exploded in her mouth.
Qiqi squinted her eyes with complete satisfaction, "Mom's cookies are still the best!"
"Little glutton, go wash your hands first!" Feeling embarrassed by the little girl's straightforward and passionate affection, Madam Ji reached out and tapped the little girl's forehead, urging her to wash her hands quickly.
"I'll go right away!"
Qiqi turned around and ran towards the bathroom.
Standing on a small stool, I squeezed on some hand sanitizer and carefully washed each of my fingers until they were clean.
After washing up, he ran up to Madam Ji and stretched out his hand to her as if to claim credit.
"Mom, look, I washed my hands really clean!"
Looking at the little girl's fair and tender fingers and her proud little expression, Madam Ji felt both amused and tender-hearted.
"Mmm, Qi Bao is such a good girl, eat up!"
Qiqi went off to eat her cookies with great satisfaction.
Huo Yuwei finished dealing with the antiques at Huolin Company and rushed back from outside.
As soon as I entered the living room, I saw a little girl lying next to the coffee table with a small mountain of cookies in front of her. She was stuffing one into her mouth with each hand, eating like a cute little bunny.
Huo Yuwei couldn't resist going over and pinching the little girl's cheek. "Where did these cookies come from? They look delicious."
"Brother Huo, would you like some? Nan!" The little girl wasn't possessive of her food at all, and generously held up a small biscuit to feed him.
Huo Yuwei was a little surprised. The children he had met were usually very possessive of their food. Let alone sharing what they had with others, not even trying to snatch food from someone else's hand was considered very polite.
"Thank you, Qiqi. Big brother doesn't want any, you can eat it yourself." Huo Yuwei didn't really want to take food from the little girl.
Qiqi was a little disappointed that she couldn't feed him. "Big brother, are you really not going to eat? My mom's cookies are so delicious!"
"No, you eat it." Huo Yuwei's heart softened at the girl's words, and he smiled as he patted her head. Just as he was about to go upstairs to take care of some business, his phone suddenly rang urgently.
He looked down and his expression changed slightly.
Huo Yuwei walked to the side and answered the phone.
He didn't know what they were saying, but he turned around and glanced in the direction the little girl was.
"...Okay, I understand. I'll ask Qiqi to take a look."
After exchanging a few more words, Huo Yuwei hung up the phone.
The phone beeped with a WeChat notification. Huo Yuwei opened WeChat, glanced at the photo sent by the other party, and then held up his phone to Qiqi.
"What's wrong, Brother Huo?" Qiqi asked cutely, a cookie dangling from her mouth.
"Qiqi, can you help your big brother take a look at this photo?"
"all right!"
Qiqi took the phone from Huo Yuwei and glanced at the enlarged picture on the screen.
He was a man who looked very fierce at first glance.
He had a pair of slanted eyes with sharp curves at the corners, and a scar on his eyelid that cut across his eyebrow, making his already fierce appearance even more menacing.
Qiqi stared at his eyebrows for a moment, then couldn't help but click her tongue.
"Big brother, this is a really bad guy! Not only does he have blood on his hands, but he also killed his whole family!" He was so ruthless; she hadn't seen anyone this cruel in a long time.
"Big brother, who exactly is this person?"
“Oh, this one,” Huo Yuwei said, “is a fugitive suspect. We’ve issued a nationwide reward, but we haven’t caught him yet!”
"A bounty?" Qi Qi's eyes lit up immediately. "How much is the bounty?"
Seeing her like that, Huo Yuwei couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The old leader was indeed worthy of being called the old leader. He had only met Qiqi once, but he had already got the little girl's personality under his thumb.
"A reward of 500,000 will be given for providing accurate information and successfully arresting him."
"Wow!" Qiqi's round eyes widened, sparkling as she looked at Huo Yuwei, and she patted her little chest eagerly, "Big brother, look at me, look at me, I can..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Ji came out of the kitchen carrying a fruit platter.
Hearing this, he interrupted her, "What do you mean you can? You can't! Qi Bao, you're still just a child. Catching criminals is none of your business. You stay put and behave yourself. Our family doesn't need your 500,000 yuan, understand?"
Qiqi sighed regretfully, "Okay, I understand, Mom."
"Hmm, good girl." Madam Ji put down the fruit plate, reached out and ruffled the little girl's hair, then looked at Huo Yuwei, "I'm sorry, Xiaowei, Qiqi is still young, and I don't want her to be exposed to too much danger. This is a mother's selfishness, and I hope you can understand."
Huo Yuwei nodded, "I understand, I completely understand. I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."
"It's alright." Madam Ji knew that Huo Yuwei was just doing what someone asked him to do, and it wasn't his fault.
Huo Yuwei put away his phone and didn't mention the matter again.
However, the seemingly well-behaved little girl who was eating fruit secretly kept this matter in mind!
