Chapter 88 The Red-Haired Man
Several people were busy until midnight before they went to rest.
The housekeeper came to Siming's door early the next morning and knocked gently, "Knock knock knock."
Siming's eyes opened immediately, and he subconsciously took out the gun from under his pillow and pointed it at the door.
After regaining consciousness, he slowly put away the gun.
"What's up?"
"General, it's General Chen calling." The butler answered outside the door.
Siming stood up, put on a coat, and walked towards the study: "Bring it to the study."
He picked up the phone: "Hello."
"I heard that the supplier of Western medicine from Haicheng has been in Beiyang City these past two days. His name is Pete, but I don't know where he lives. It seems he just happened to be passing by."
"I'm waiting for the ship to return to Beiyang City. The weather at sea has been bad recently, so I'm staying here."
"If you want to buy Western medicine, you can try to find someone, but whether you can get in touch with them depends on your luck."
Chen Yongnian told the news he had heard on the phone.
"Beiyang City is so big, your information is like looking for a needle in a haystack." Si Ming sat down on the chair and rubbed his aching forehead with his hand.
"There's really no way. The only way I could get this information was from the passenger list of the shipping company. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known that there was such a person in Beiyang." Chen Yongnian had no choice.
He had never seen this person before, and he was just passing by.
Siming leaned back in his chair: "How many days are left?"
"Three days. In three days the ship he is waiting for will dock, and then he will board the ship and leave." Chen Yongnian told him the time.
Siming muttered a few words: "Finding a man named Peter in Beiyang City in three days is quite a lot of work."
"That's better than buying drugs at high prices on the black market. If you really have no other choice, you can consider the black market." Chen Yongnian said.
"Do you also know that there are medicines for sale on the black market?" Siming asked.
"Western medicine has always been sold on the black market. Most of it is smuggled back by seafarers, so the prices are not cheap. After all, they rely on it to make money."
Chen Yongnian said with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to look for it now." Si Ming looked at the clock on the wall. It was now 7:30 in the morning.
"Then I wish you good luck." Chen Yongnian said and hung up the phone.
"Dad!" Juanjuan's little head poked out from the door and looked at him with a smile on her face.
Sima Ming waved at her.
Juanjuan ran to him with her short legs: "Dad, why don't you go have breakfast?"
"It's not good to be hungry. It will give you a stomachache." She tilted her head back and looked at him.
Siming picked her up and sat her on his lap: "Dad just received a call. I'll go have breakfast after I wash up."
"Why did you get up so early today?"
"The teacher said we should go to bed early and get up early." Juanjuan answered seriously.
"My Juanjuan is so great! Wait for dad for a moment, I'll go wash up and then we'll go eat together." Siming put her on the ground.
"Okay, Juanjuan will wait for dad at the stairs." After saying that, Juanjuan slowly walked towards the stairs.
Siming stood up from the chair, went back to his room to wash up, then walked to the stairs and took Juanjuan's little hand to go downstairs.
Si Jinchen saw him and shouted, "Dad, it's time for Juanjuan to have breakfast."
"Good morning, brother, good morning, second uncle!" Juanjuan greeted everyone one by one, then ran to Si Jinchen and let Si Ming hold her and sit on the chair.
"Director Chen just called me and said that Pete, the Western medicine supplier of Haicheng, is waiting for a ship in Beiyang City these days." Siming said while eating breakfast.
"Do you know where he lives?" Si Tian asked hurriedly when he heard it.
"I don't know, not even what he looks like. We only have three days. The ship will dock in three days, and he will also leave by boat." Siming looked at him and told him the current situation.
Madam Si frowned. "Finding someone and reaching a cooperation agreement within three days is probably going to be very difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try. It's better than waiting like this." Si Ming planned to contact Miao Jiu's people and ask them to help find out.
"I will also contact the friends I know and ask them to help find out if they can find the person." Si Tian wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin after finishing breakfast.
"Well, try to find it. Even if we can find it, it won't completely solve the problem, but at least it can alleviate the current situation."
Siming didn't know whether he could buy medicine from him after finding him, but he had to try.
Juanjuan and the other three children were listening at the side and couldn't help.
After class today, Mrs. Si plans to take her three children and two dogs out for a walk.
"Grandma, where are we going?" Juanjuan was sitting in the car, with two pigtails on her head today.
The clothes she was wearing were also a small gray cotton cheongsam. There was thick cotton inside so she wasn't worried about being cold.
"Let's go to Beiyang Park for fun." Mr. Si smiled and asked the driver to take them to Beiyang Park.
When the little ones arrived at the park, they were free to run around and soon disappeared from view.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen saw their older brothers and sisters who had played together before, and they pulled Ma Yang and ran over.
The friends in the park were not averse to seeing them and took them to play together.
After a while, he ran back softly.
"Woof woof woof. There's a red-haired man lying on the ground over there."
Juanjuan tilted her head and couldn't imagine what the red-haired man looked like.
"Juanjuan, it's your turn!" Si Jinchen looked at her with her head tilted, wondering what she was thinking.
"Brother, have you seen a red-headed person?" Juanjuan turned and looked at him.
Si Jinchen was also stunned by her question: "I haven't seen it."
"Songsongruanruan said there was a red-headed man. Shall we go and see him together?" Juanjuan pulled his hand.
Ma Yang hesitated for a moment and then followed them towards a small forest in the park.
Lying on the ground in the woods was a red-haired man, now unconscious, wearing only his undershirt and shivering with cold.
"Brother Mayang, go and call grandma over." Si Jinchen and the other three children had no way of dragging him away.
"Okay. Don't run around." Ma Yang said and quickly ran to the park bench to call people.
"Madam, there is a man lying in the woods over there." Ma Yang said breathlessly while running.
Madam Si was also stunned when she heard this: "Don't be so anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Ma Yang told her what he saw.
"Go to the roadside and call the driver over, and ask him to bring the blanket from the car." After giving the order, Mrs. Si went to find the two children.
Ma Yang quickly ran to the roadside to find the driver.
Old Madam Si looked at the two children and two dogs squatting beside the unconscious man, looking at him curiously.
"Grandma, he seems to have fainted." Si Jinchen said immediately when he saw her.
Madam Si squatted on the ground and gently patted the man's cheek: "Wake up, wake up."
Pete felt a headache. When he woke up, he was stunned to see an old lady, two children and two dogs.
He turned over and sat up, looking at them warily, and said in Chinese with a slight accent: "Who are you? What do you want to do to me?"
"We saw you lying here and were worried that you might have an accident." Old Madam Si gave him a brief explanation.
Pete covered the back of his head and said, "I seem to have been robbed."
At this time, the driver came over with a blanket and said, "Put on this blanket first!"
Peter gratefully took the blanket and wrapped it around himself: "Thank you so much."
Madam Si looked at him in such a state of disgrace: "If you don't mind, my car is parked on the side of the road. I can take you to buy some clothes first, or take you back to your residence."
Pete was so moved that he almost cried when he saw her. He was penniless now, and if he walked back like this, he would be embarrassed.
"Is it too much trouble for you?" He didn't know why he was so unlucky.
"No." Old Madam Si called Songsongjuanjuan back and walked towards the roadside with the three children and Pete.
