Chapter 66
It was three days later when Li Jincheng completed his mission.
Hand in all the duty equipment to the team and you will have a day off tomorrow. Li Jincheng was lying on the sofa, absent-mindedly browsing his phone.
After turning on his personal mobile phone, there were still no unfamiliar calls or text messages in the past three days.
Chen Pu has gone out of town to carry out a mission. He has been gone for more than ten days and it is not known when he will be back. If he were there, Li Jincheng could discuss with him what had happened recently, whether it was Luo Huaizheng or Li Yu. Although Li Yu’s affairs might be mercilessly ridiculed by her brothers, after all, she was a super beauty. But Li Jincheng felt that if Chen Pu were there, he would definitely help him. With two swords combined, he can do many things much more conveniently and boldly.
It’s not like now, Li Jincheng always feels a little bit uneasy.
Actually, Li Yu’s affairs had nothing to do with him at all. Whether there was any filth or not in her "home", even if he pretended not to see it, no one could blame him for being irresponsible and he could rest easy.
But...Alas!
Why did the butterfly fly over here?
It just happened to lead him to inadvertently glimpse a corner of a story. And that story hides the fate of an innocent and weak girl. Maybe the story was peaceful because he thought people were too malicious; or maybe she really suffered in it. If he just let her go, would there be anyone in this world who could see that vague clue and lend a helping hand to her?
Thinking of this, Li Jincheng jumped up from the sofa.
He just knew that he had been stupid since he was a child.
However, on the way home by bus, Li Jincheng felt relaxed, even though his body was extremely tired from three days and three nights of hard work and lack of sleep.
After jumping off the bus, he ran straight to the big tree.
He had a feeling that if she could come out, she would be waiting for him there.
However, Li Jincheng's premonition was not true.
The space under the big tree was empty and it was dark. The pale street lights shone on the bench, bringing a chill.
Li Jincheng was stunned for a while.
Since I'm here, I might as well go to Yuan'an Clinic to see Ye Songming and see what he has thought. Li Jincheng originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to him during the day, but it would be better to find one in advance.
From a distance, there were two patients receiving intravenous drips in Yuan'an Clinic, and Sun Yuanan was sitting at his desk. Ye Songming was organizing the medicine cabinet with the nurse.
It looks like we'll have to wait a while. Li Jincheng has discovered that Sun Yuanan would leave the clinic for a while after get off work every day.
Li Jincheng planned to take a stroll nearby.
He ate something casually. Now that the weather is getting warmer, more people are setting up stalls on the street, including a few selling toys. Li Jincheng suddenly remembered that today is Children's Day.
It’s Children’s Day. If I happen to meet little Li Yu later, I’d better go there empty-handed. It just so happened that after Li Qingyao turned 12, she refused to celebrate Children's Day, and Li Jincheng hadn't had the urge to pick out gifts for his sister for a long time.
He first went to a nearby convenience store and bought a small box of imported chocolate, which was the flavor that Li Qingyao liked. Li Yu liked it very much last time. Although she has diabetes, it should be okay for her to eat a little since it's a holiday, right? Li Jincheng didn't quite understand, so he decided to give her a small piece today.
He strolled casually along the roadside again and stopped when he passed an old man's stall.
The old man had completely white hair and beard, looked thin, and was poorly dressed. Next to him was a 5 or 6-year-old grandson, also dark and thin, who was helping his grandfather organize the toys on the stall. I don’t know what kind of family it is that has the old and the young coming out to make a living.
Li Jincheng felt sympathy, squatted down in front of the stall, picked up a doll, and asked, "How much?"
The old man looked at him and said, "Thirty."
In fact, Li Jincheng felt that it was a bit expensive, but he did not bargain. He took out his mobile phone, scanned the code to pay thirty yuan, put the phone back in his pocket, and was about to stand up when he suddenly felt something strange on his back.
He turned his head sharply.
There were only a few vendors across the street and two passers-by behind him. Li Jincheng's sharp eyes quickly swept across their faces, but he didn't see anything unusual. No one was looking at him.
He was about to get up when he suddenly saw a white skirt passing quickly in the narrow alley across the street. Li Jincheng's heart skipped a beat. He stood up quickly, holding the plastic bag containing the doll in one hand, and ran in the direction where the white dress disappeared.
The cell phone slipped out of the pocket of his sweatpants and fell onto another doll in the stall.
After a while, the little grandson saw it, pointed at the phone and said, "Grandpa, the uncle's phone just fell."
The old man quickly glanced towards the alley where Li Jincheng disappeared, grabbed his cell phone, looked at it and smiled. The brand of the cell phone was the same as the one his son used, just a different model. The old man immediately turned off the phone and put it in his pocket. After a while, the old man's palms were slightly sweaty, so he simply packed up all the toys on the stall, put them on his shoulders, and said to his grandson, "I don't want to sell them anymore, let's go home."
The little grandson asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to return the phone to uncle?"
The old man slapped his grandson and said, "If grandpa finds it, it belongs to grandpa. Don't tell anyone else."
The little grandson started to cry and didn't dare to speak.
Although the old man still felt a little guilty, he soon felt happy.
My son has been complaining about being short of money recently, so I asked him to find a way to sell this phone to a second-hand phone store. He should be able to sell it for at least 1,000 yuan.
——
Li Jincheng chased for more than a hundred meters before catching up with the woman in the white skirt in another alley.
Just by looking at the back, Li Jincheng recognized that it was not Li Yu.
All the strength in his body relaxed.
Yes, with Li Yu's timid personality, he probably wouldn't dare to go anywhere alone except under a big tree.
He looked down at the doll in the plastic bag again. Although it was roughly made, it was quite cute. His intuition told him that Li Yu would definitely like it.
I hope she will feel that with this doll by her side, she won’t be as lonely as before.
Thinking of this, Li Jincheng went back to the big tree with the idea of trying his luck.
Still no one.
In fact, he had expected this result. This time was later than their previous meetings and it was already dark. She probably couldn't come out.
Li Jincheng stood in front of the big tree, looked at it for a while, then tossed the doll in his hand through the plastic bag. It seems I can’t send it out today.
He turned around again and looked in the direction of Yuanan Clinic. Someone came out. It was Sun Yuanan.
This means that he has another chance to contact Ye Songming. Will Ye Songming's attitude completely soften today?
Li Jincheng planned to wait for two minutes, and then rush over when Sun Yuanan walked away.
He stood beside the big tree, wondering if Li Yu would get the doll if he left it there.
I don't think so. He even laughed at his own stupid thoughts - he was afraid that before Li Yu came, the doll would have been picked up by other children or kicked away.
That won't work.
This doll belongs to Li Yu.
Li Jincheng was about to leave when he was suddenly attracted by some marks on the tree trunk out of the corner of his eye.
