Huo Yuwei reported Madam Ji's attitude to his superiors, who, while disappointed, expressed their understanding.
After all, the little girl is only three years old, and she is so lovely and adorable. No one would want to let her face danger.
Seeing that his superiors understood, Huo Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually afraid that if his grandmother knew he had asked Qiqi to catch such a vicious criminal, she might punish him according to family rules.
After that, no one mentioned it again.
During dinner, Grandma Huo said to Qiqi, "Your older brother is free tomorrow, so let him and your younger brother Xiao Jiu take you around the capital."
"Okay, okay!" Qiqi happily agreed. She planned to go find Xuanyuan Sword tomorrow. Her older brother was righteous and virtuous, and following him might be of help.
The authorities did grant Huo Yuwei a week's leave so he could spend some quality time with his family at home.
He didn't object when his grandmother arranged for him to take Xiao Qiqi out to play.
The little girl is cute and obedient, and not difficult to take care of.
However, plans can't keep up with changes.
Thinking that Qiqi had someone to take care of her, Old Madam Huo took Madam Ji out early in the morning.
There was a tea party for the ladies of a wealthy circle, and she wanted to invite Mrs. Ji to attend so that she could quietly build some connections for a few families in Beijing.
Given how much the Ji family values Qiqi, they would never allow their young daughter to marry far away.
The Ji family's roots are in Jiangcheng, so if she wants to bring the little girl home, she has to find a way to move the Ji family from Jiangcheng to Beijing.
This is a challenging and long-term task!
She needs to plan and arrange things in advance!
As soon as they left, Huo Yuwei received a call from his superiors, saying he had an urgent mission and had to leave immediately.
Therefore, the task of taking care of Qiqi fell to Huo Yusen.
Not long after Huo Yuwei left, Huo Yusen also received a call from a former classmate, inviting him to a birthday party.
Huo Yusen wanted to take Qiqi with him, but Qiqi wanted to find the Xuanyuan Sword.
She has a lot on her plate; she needs to find the sword and also help the ghost in the red rope save his girlfriend.
And secretly, she also wanted to help Brother Huo catch that bad guy.
A 500,000 yuan prize? Why not take it?
Given Qiqi's remarkable self-care abilities, Huo Yusen didn't say anything more.
The main reason he invited this classmate today is that he recently discovered his family seems to be connected to his fifth sister's death, and he wanted to take this opportunity to investigate. Otherwise, he would never have abandoned Qiqi to go and keep the appointment.
After Huo Yuwei and Huo Yusen left home, Qiqi Jiu happily slung her little bag over her shoulder and went out by herself.
This is the first time the little girl has gone out alone in all the time she's been in this world.
She didn't choose to use the Shrinking Earth technique directly, firstly because she didn't know the exact location of the Xuanyuan Sword, and secondly because she wanted to deal with the gluttonous Li Jun and the young lady first.
Back in Jiangcheng, she accepted Li Jun's request to help find his girlfriend, who had been turned into a lewd ghost, rescue her, and send the two of them to be reincarnated.
When Huo Yusen left, he instructed the driver to take Qiqi to the place she wanted to go.
But Qi Qi Ye didn't know exactly where she was going, so after Huo Yu Sen left, she asked the driver to take her to the nearest bus stop.
Although the driver was puzzled, he obediently did his job and left after dropping Qiqi off at the bus stop closest to the villa area.
Qiqi climbed onto the platform bench and sat down. She bent down and took out five copper coins from her bag, scattering them on the ground like a shower of flowers.
He looked down at it, picked it up again, shook it, and then scattered it out again.
After repeating this several times, the little girl bit her finger in confusion and muttered softly, "Strange, why can't I figure out the direction? Is it because the other person's cultivation is higher than mine, so I can't figure it out? That shouldn't be the case!"
"Little girl, what are you doing? Are you alone?"
Suddenly, a sticky, disgusting sound came from above.
Qiqi looked up and saw a face that was feigning friendliness.
The other person had a pair of very fierce, slanted eyes, and a scar on his eyebrow added to his menacing appearance. He was the kind of person that would frighten any other child to tears if they were alone with him.
But when Qiqi saw him, her eyes lit up.
Wow, half a million!
She stared at the other person for a long time, blinked her big, dark eyes, and put on a simple, innocent smile on her pretty little face. Her sweet, childlike voice was so sweet it made people swoon, "Yes, I'm playing with the copper coins Grandpa gave me, picking up pebbles. Uncle, who are you?"
"I'm just a kind uncle passing by. I saw you here all alone and was worried you might run into bad people, so I came to ask." The man looked around, but there was no one nearby, so the little girl must have been abandoned or lost. "Little girl, why are you here all alone? Where are your family?"
"Dad isn't here, and Mom's busy with something. She told me to wait here for her to pick me up!" Qiqi said, still a little confused.
She wasn't lying; her father really wasn't in Beijing, and her mother was indeed busy with other things!
Upon hearing this, the man immediately imagined a scenario where the parents were divorced, the father didn't want his daughter, and the mother thought she was a burden, so they found an excuse to abandon the little girl.
Very good!
Such children, even if they go missing, will not attract attention, which is exactly what they need.
The man immediately smiled and reached out to grab Qiqi's arm. "Little sister, it's too dangerous for you to wait here alone. Let me take you to your mother!"
"But Mom said I have to stay here and wait obediently, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Qiqi tilted her head. "If Mom comes back and doesn't see me, she'll definitely be worried!"
"No, your uncle and your mother are friends. Your uncle knows where your mother went. Your uncle can just take you there to find her, so your mother won't have to make a separate trip to pick you up."
"What you said makes sense. Okay, I'll go with you!"
Qiqi obediently stood up with the man's help and got into the black sedan parked by the roadside.
After closing the car door, the man looked at the little girl playing with copper coins in the back seat and revealed a sinister smile.
I originally thought that the last thing the master wanted was a bit too demanding and hard to find, but I didn't expect to come across it as soon as I went out.
But we're still missing a little boy.
Don't panic, you'll find it eventually!
Just like when I was looking for that couple.
The man walked around the front of the car, got into the driver's seat, and started the car, unaware of the glint in the eyes of the little girl who was happily playing with her head down in the back seat.
You searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
Found you! Five hundred thousand!
"Brother Li Jun, come out and take a look. Do you recognize this person?"
Qiqi tapped the red string on her wrist, waking Li Jun, who was sleeping in a golden coffin.
When she left Jiangcheng, she pulled Li Jun off her fifth brother and stuffed him into the red rope.
