Chapter 70 The 70th Star



Shi Tuyi felt so ashamed after hearing what Chu Qianli said, but he wanted to find the missing Qingqing, so he had to tell the unspeakable story.

Shi Tuyi was a playboy in his early years. He looked gentle and eloquent. He had a little money at home and lived a ridiculous life. The playboy returned from playing and making a fuss, but when it came to interests, he thought clearly. Wild flowers make people linger, but they cannot be taken home.

Although Shi Tuyi's emotional life was messy, he was a smart and calculating person. He not only made his family's hotel business better and better, but also secretly planned to get out of the business in a fair and honest way. He planned to find a wife who was well-matched with him, and the two of them would join forces to take their career to the next level.

Since he already had a plan in mind, he had to clear his past. Qingqing's biological mother discovered Shi Tuyi's intentions, and she broke off the relationship on the surface, but secretly gave birth to Qingqing, hoping to use the child to force Shi Tuyi to marry her.

Shi Tuyi was talking about marriage with his current wife Ji Wen B, but he suddenly had a child, and all the previous plans fell through. In the end, Qingqing's biological mother asked for a huge sum of money and left, and Qingqing was registered under the names of Shi Dhong and Fang Qiu, and never called Shi Tuyi dad at home.

This was an offensive and defensive operation. On the surface, Qingqing had completely lost all ties with Shi Tuyi and his biological mother, but privately, those who knew the situation knew that he was Shi Tuyi's biological son.

Shi Tuyi now pays attention to Qingqing, mainly because he and his wife Jiwen B have frequent friction. The two do not have children at present, and they originally married for business interests. At present, they are entangled in property and company holdings. If the two really fall out, Shi Tuyi still has a backup plan and has even transferred part of the property.

While Mei Ru Z was listening to the rich family's disputes, she secretly edited with one hand and sent a message to Chu Qianli under the table.

[My misogyny is about to kick in.]

Chu Qianli glanced at the WeChat message and reached out to quietly reply: [The essence of marriage is an economic relationship.]

Although there are no good people in the Shi family incident, the missing child still needs to be found and he cannot be left wandering around.

Shi Tuyi felt uneasy after he finished speaking. He had always been a righteous man, and he felt a little uncomfortable revealing his private affairs.

Chu Qianli remained calm throughout the whole process and asked, "Does the child know about this?"

"Qingqing?" Shi Tuyi hesitated, "...He probably doesn't know. He usually calls Fang Qiu dad."

Shi Tuyi avoided her gaze, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he asked guiltily, "Are these details important?"

"If the first hexagram can find someone, then these details are not necessary, but the matter of Mr. Shi's family makes our hexagram complicated." Chu Qianli said, "Sister Ru Z, can you tell us more about the first hexagram? This time we will not look at the result, but mainly analyze the process."

Shi Tuyi looked surprised: "The process?"

Chu Qianli nodded: "Divination is not black and white. Generally speaking, if the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it is considered good. For some things, we can only look at the results, but for some things, we still have to look at the process."

"Then let's talk about the mutual hexagram and the change of hexagram?" Mei Ru Z said, "From the mutual hexagram in the first chapter, the child must have been scolded at home, or had a verbal conflict with others, which is why he decided to run away from home. I also mentioned this to Mr. Shi at the time."

Shi Tuyi: “…Yes.”

Chu Qianli asked curiously, "What kind of personality does Qingqing have? Does he often quarrel with others?"

"No, he is very well behaved at home..." Shi Tuyi just finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and suddenly stopped talking, with unreasonable guesses in his mind.

Chu Qianli: "That's really strange. I thought he was rebellious to begin with. What about the second hexagram?"

Meiru Z: "The second hexagram is dangerous because of the relationship. The child must have realized that he was being searched, so he went to the downstream of the dam where there were few people, near the power station, where there was water and electricity."

"Does this mean that he doesn't want to go home and deliberately wants to get rid of the people who are looking for him?" Chu Qianli asked doubtfully.

"Yes, judging from the hexagram, he fled on his own initiative and was not threatened."

Shi Tuyi was shocked: "But why did he run away? And he is still a child, how did he know that he was being looked for!?"

Chu Qianli looked sincere and said kindly, "Boss Shi, each divination should only ask one question, otherwise the divination will be chaotic. This is our rule."

Shi Tuyi was stunned, seemingly at a loss.

Tan Muxing said softly, "If you want to know, this is another order."

Shi Tuyi: "Aren't these all about looking for someone?"

Chu Qianli shook his head: "Looking for a person is to find the direction, asking about something is to find the root cause, these are two different things, the questions are different."

"What if I want to ask something else?" Shi Tuyi seemed to have realized something. He looked at the three people tentatively, looked at Chu Qianli on the left, and looked at Mei Ru Z on the right, and said hesitantly, "I should look for..."

Chu Qianli and Mei Ru Z both know how to tell fortunes, so Shi Tuyi is put in a difficult situation.

Chu Qianli waved her hands hastily. She looked embarrassed and evasive, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the unit is checking very strictly!"

Mei Ru Z could see that the two of them were helping her avoid disaster, and said expressionlessly, "Boss Shi, our contract consists of three hexagrams in total. It's over after you finish this one."

As long as Mei Ru Z fulfills the three-gua contract, she will be free to do whatever she wants and the matter will come to an end.

Shi Tuyi was confused again and again, but he still wanted to know the truth, so he said with a stiff upper lip: "Thank you, Master Mei."

"What do you want to ask?"

"I just asked Qingqing why he ran away from home." Shi Tuyi came to his senses, "I just realized now that he is not a naughty child. There is no reason for him to run away suddenly."

Mei Ru Z stretched out her hand, and the bell on her wrist rang crisply. Then she finished counting and drew a hexagram on the spot. Plum Blossom Heart Yi is quick and convenient, and the process of drawing a hexagram is relatively simple, unlike some other hexagram divinations that are complicated.

Mei Ru Z frowned and said, "The child's emotions were mixed and he once talked to an older woman, which made him think about running away from home. He is still in contact with that woman, but the connection between the two sides seems to be severing."

"An older woman?" Shi Tuyi asked in panic, "A babysitter? Or someone else?"

"I'm not sure, but I've been in contact with him often." Meiru Z added, "From the hexagram, it seems that they were talking about family matters, so I'm afraid that the child has learned about his own life experience."

The divination plate only describes the characteristics, not the story. Mei Ru Z didn't know the inside story of the Shi family at first, and she only asked about the location of the child, so of course she didn't know these details.

Shi Tuyi said in disbelief: "But the number of people who know about this can be counted on one hand!"

Chu Qianli pretended not to know, then suddenly realized, "Still in contact now? No wonder we can't catch him. If someone leaks the news, it will be useless to tell a hundred or a thousand stories."

"I told you yesterday that they had problems with their work, and they were still arguing with me..." Mei Ru Z said unhappily, "Boss Shi, although the two of them were once in contact, the connection is about to be severed."

"I'm going to say something unlucky. If you don't hold on tight, the consequences will definitely be bad."

Shi Tuyi was in a panic.

After a while, Shi Tuyi led the three back to the house. As soon as he stepped into the door, he looked at his brother and spoke first: "Zhuoqu, let the police look north of the dam, and then sign a contract with Master Mei."

Shi Zhuoqu: "Okay."

Chief Fang was stunned: "You calculated that Qingqing is in the north?"

Shi Tuyi narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Yes, what?"

After Shi Zhuoqu contacted the police, he walked over to the three people next to him and said politely, "Masters, please come this way."

"Brother, how can you be so anxious to settle the bill? We haven't found the person yet!" Shi Dhong saw Chu Qianli and the others were about to leave, and hurriedly said, "At least we have to see the person's figure. They can't just leave after the settlement, right?"

Chief Fang advised: "Big brother has his own ideas..."

"What do you mean? You just said we should go to another place to settle the matter!" Shi Duhong said unhappily, "What if it's like the last two times? We can't just let them go like this!"

“…Alright, alright.”

Shi Tuyi was suspicious and asked, "Indeed, Chief Fang, you were quite rude to Master Mei just now?"

Mei Ru Z had the fiercest quarrel with Shi Dhong and Fang Qiu last night, and both sides almost broke down, half of which was because of this. She just couldn't stand the couple's troublemaking, so she had the idea of ​​breaking the contract. It didn't make sense to make a lot of money and still be bullied.

Shi Tuyi initially thought that the couple was eager to find their child, but now he has a different feeling, and always feels that Fang Qiu is deliberately fanning the flames. Now, Shi Dhong still can't stand Mei Ruz, but Fang Qiu seems to be eager for her to leave.

"Master Mei's friend is still here..." Chief Fang's eyes flickered as he glanced at Chu Qianli, "I'm not afraid of delaying things."

Mei Ru Z immediately turned cold and said: "You guys are so realistic, those with backgrounds hide, and those without backgrounds are assigned at will?"

At this moment, Shi Zhuoqu's mobile phone screen suddenly lit up. He was startled when he saw the call, and quickly gestured to the people around him, then went to the corner to answer the call: "Yes, okay..."

"Brother, we found the person, but not on the north side of the dam." Shi Zhuoqu answered the phone while turning around to report. He heard the details of the call clearly and relayed, "The police said that after checking the community surveillance, they did find the person you mentioned. She is an unemployed woman nearby, and they confirmed Qingqing's location through her!"

Chief Fang felt a chill down his spine and asked hurriedly, "What unemployed woman? Which neighborhood is monitoring her?"

Shi Dhong was puzzled: "Brother, when did you contact the police?"

"Of course she was in the room just now." Shi Tuyi was furious. "I also want to ask you, Qingqing's life is taken care of by you, and logically she can only have contact with the nanny, so where did this woman come from?"

"I don't believe that truly unemployed people can come and go in the community at will!"

Mei Ru Z said that Qingqing ran away from home because she had communicated with an older woman. However, Shi Tuyi screened a round of nannies but did not find anyone who met the requirements.

Shi Tuyi simply called the police in the hut and retrieved all the surveillance footage of the high-end community, and found that Qingqing often came into contact with a strange woman. This woman was older and suspected to be a scavenger nearby. No one knew how she sneaked into the community or how she got familiar with the children.

The two parties had communicated with each other a week before Qingqing disappeared, but Shi Tuyi did not understand how this person knew the child's background and why he instigated the child to run away from home.

He thought about it and found that Fang Qiu was abnormal. He suddenly remembered that he had transferred part of the assets to the child's name not long ago!

Shi Dhong knows the reason why her elder brother transferred the assets, but she cannot stop her brother-in-law Fang Qiu from having different ideas. If Qingqing disappears unexpectedly, the assets will naturally change hands. Even if Shi Dhong and Fang Qiu divorce, both parties must divide the property.

Shi Tuyi originally transferred the property to his sister instead of his brother because Shi Dhong had Qingqing, while Shi Zhuoqu had no constraints.

Few people knew that Qingqing was registered under the names of Shi Dhong and Fang Qiu, and even fewer knew about the assets. The scope was further narrowed, and the truth was about to be revealed.

For money, Chief Fang found a strange woman from nowhere and asked her to trick Qingqing out of the house, and even instructed him to get rid of the police. In the end, he might have to prove that Qingqing was murdered.

"Zhuo Qu, take the masters to the next door." Shi Tuyi didn't want anyone to hear the ugly things in his family anymore. He waved his hand and someone blocked the way of Shi Dhong and Fang Qiu, preparing to start dealing with the traitor.

Shi Zhuoqu: "Everyone, please come this way."

The three followed Shi Zhuoqu out of the reception hall. Shi Zhuoqu went to get the contract and pay the fee, while they waited in the corridor.

Mei Ru Z sneered: "He played a trick on me, and his brother-in-law also played a trick on me. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. Dogs bite dogs and end up with fur in their mouths."

Mei Ru Z didn't know the details at first, and even after two divinations, she still couldn't find the person. How could she know the interests of the Shi family? She didn't expect that everyone had their own little calculations.

Tan Muxing concluded: "It is simply that the spoils are unevenly distributed within the criminal gang, and the most innocent are the children."

Chu Qianli said calmly: "Those who drown are those who know how to swim. The more self-righteous people are, the more likely they are to fall to their death while doing what they are good at."

"It would be good if he could find his child and come to his senses, but if he continues to be the same as before, his current wife is no pushover."

Chief Fang and others harbored evil intentions, and Shi Tuyi also behaved badly.

Chu Qianli just predicted Shi Tuyi's future. He might go bankrupt because of his current marriage. Mainly, Jiwen B didn't marry for love, and the relationship between the two sides will completely deteriorate at some point.

Two people with ulterior motives joined together for the sake of profit, and surrounded by people with ulterior motives, there would be no good result. Of course, this had nothing to do with her, and she would not remind them. As long as the child was fine, it would be considered a good deed.

"Master Mei, please come and confirm it." Shi Zhuoqu came over and said, "If you confirm that there is no problem, we will transfer the money."

Mei Ru Z went next door to finalize the balance, while Shi Zhuoqu accompanied Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing and waited in the corridor for a while.

A fierce argument broke out in the reception room. Shi Tuyi was obviously furious, and there were even noises of cups being smashed and chairs being banged against.

Shi Zhuoqu didn't feel comfortable going into the house, so he stood outside pretending not to hear anything.

Chu Qianli was originally wandering around Tan Muxing, tugging at his backpack strap out of boredom. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Shi Zhuoqu, who was calm and silent, and could not help but become interested and looked at him curiously.

Shi Zhuoqu looked much younger than Shi Tuyi and Shi Dhong, and looked to be in his twenties or thirties. He noticed Chu Qianli's gaze and asked in confusion, "Hello?"

Chu Qianli was caught peeking, and she said casually: "Are you Mr. Shi's younger brother?"

"Yes." Shi Zhuoqu heard the cursing in the reception hall. He paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry to make you two laugh."

Tan Muxing noticed the other party's calmness. He was surprised and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Shi Zhuoqu didn't seem to care about the situation in the house, which naturally made Tan Muxing a little confused.

Shi Zhuoqu: "Fortunately, I have been studying abroad and have only just returned during this period."

The subtext is that he is not familiar with Shi Tuyi and others, so of course he is not affected by these things.

"Where do the two teachers work?" Shi Zhuoqu asked calmly, "I have seen Master Mei tell fortunes, and it is truly amazing."

"It's a small place that's not worth mentioning." Chu Qianli waved her hand humbly. She didn't mention any information about herself, but instead asked, "Where do you work? It doesn't look like you run a hotel?"

"I am currently working at an overseas auction house and recently something happened at home."

"Oh, which auction house? I'm quite interested in auctions!"

When Tan Muxing heard this, he felt that she was not interested in the auction, but in buying things.

Shi Zhuoqu didn't expect Chu Qianli to keep asking questions, so he simply took out an exquisite business card with his English name and the name of the auction organization written on it.

After Chu Qianli read the English name on the business card, she raised her eyes thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Can I ask how to write your Chinese name?"

Shi Zhuoqu was stunned. He moved his fingers slightly, showing his hesitation.

Chu Qianli blinked and looked at him eagerly.

Shi Zhuoqu hesitated for a few seconds, not wanting to show off his strangeness, and replied, "Of course, Zhuo means Wang, and Qu means channel."

Chu Qianli nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, can I ask your zodiac sign? How old are you this year?"

Shi Zhuoqu was already hesitant when he said the name, and now his alarm bells were ringing. He pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you asking these questions..."

Chu Qianli remained calm and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I'm just worried about Sister Ru Z's life and I want to ask everyone about it. Don't take it to heart."

“…”

When Tan Muxing thought about Mei RuZ's dislike for men, he suddenly became worried about her coming back after paying the bill. Upon hearing this, he beat up Chu Qianli.
