"I can't promise you this." Shen Qingwu shook his head, "But people should have hope in their hearts. Only by living can there be more possibilities."
"Luo Sheng." Xiao Qingyi looked at the black fingerprints on Shen Qingwu's sleeves, and finally couldn't help but call him in a low voice.
Luo Sheng came back to his senses and realized what he had done. He looked at Shen Qingwu awkwardly, quickly let go, and was about to kowtow to her to apologize.
Shen Qingwu raised his hand to stop him and sat back in his chair with a heavy heart, feeling that the disappearance of Luo Sheng's wife and daughter was not simple.
Luo Sheng now trusts Shen Qingwu. If Shen Qingwu only told him that his wife was still alive, he might think it was a comfort, but Shen Qingwu remained silent.
He was anxious, but also became calmer.
In the past three years, he had countless hopes, true and false, but they were all shattered.
This time, he is still willing to believe, willing to try, and willing to give everything he has now.
The most precious things in his life are no longer with him. He is alone and has nothing to lose.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Qingwu. "Miss Shen, as long as you can find my wife, Luo Sheng is willing to work like a slave for you and repay you in this life or the next!"
Shen Qingwu moved his fingers, and the black handprint on his sleeve was very eye-catching.
She pursed her lips and spoke after a long while, "You leave the city today and head west to look for someone. If anyone asks, just say that this is the direction I pointed you in."
Luo Sheng knelt on the ground and looked at her in confusion, but quickly lowered his head, "Yes, Miss Shen."
He didn't ask any more questions, and Shen Qingwu didn't say much either.
Xiao Qingyi gave him a small bag of silver coins and said, "Luo Sheng, don't worry about the journey. Take care of yourself. Otherwise, if you find her one day and you are sick, she will be very sad."
"Thank you, Miss Xiao." Luo Sheng stood up with difficulty, supporting his knees, bowed deeply to Xiao Qingyi, but took a step back and did not accept it.
"Take it. Go west and see how many people are like you, especially those whose wives disappeared during pregnancy," said Shen Qingwu.
Luo Sheng looked up in surprise.
Is his wife really pregnant?
When he was looking for his daughter, his wife's period was delayed, but he was not in the mood to see a doctor. Later, he died without ever mentioning that his wife might be pregnant.
Luo Sheng had already made plans for the worst. He would definitely not be able to keep the child, but as long as his wife was still alive, it would be fine.
Shen Qingwu nodded.
Luo Sheng didn't dare ask if the child was still there. With trembling hands, he took the small bag of silver coins handed to him by Xiao Qingyi, bowed deeply to the two of them, hid the silver coins, and walked out dragging his injured leg.
"Let's find a doctor first to check your injury before leaving." Xiao Qingyi couldn't help but say.
Luo Sheng paused and raised his head slightly, "Thank you."
…
Finally, they were the only two left in the room.
Xiao Qingyi sat across from Shen Qingwu and poured herself a cup of tea. After moistening her throat, she asked uncertainly, "Is his wife really still alive?"
She suspected that Shen Qingwu was just comforting the man named Luo Sheng.
"I shouldn't be that kind." Shen Qingwu stroked the warm teacup in his hand.
Making someone wait for a long time may be a kind gesture, but no one can empathize with the pain this person will suffer for the rest of his life and the daily suffering worse than death.
For Shen Qingwu, as long as you don’t kill me, I will fight back at all costs to harm my family. In this life, it must be a life-and-death battle!
Xiao Qingyi nodded in agreement, "Then is his child still alive?"
Shen Qingwu glanced at her and said, "Maybe, it's hard to say, but it's probably near Kyoto. I can't be sure. There are many monsters and demons in Kyoto City, and I'm not good enough at the moment."
Xiao Qingyi looked worried when she heard this. "Why don't you just not get involved in these things? If you offend someone more powerful than you, you'll be in trouble. I don't understand these things either, so I can't help you."
Shen Qingwu took out the insect in his hand again and asked, "You really don't want it?"
Xiao Qingyi's arm originally fell on Shen Qingwu's side, but when she saw the insects wriggling in the box, she tightened her grip and slowly stepped back.
Shen Qingwu laughed and tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Close your eyes."
She treats Xiao Qingyi as a friend.
Her appearance may change Xiao Qingyi's original fate and even implicate her.
Xiao Qingyi also trusted Shen Qingwu. Although she was afraid, when she saw Shen Qingwu's kind smile, she resisted the urge to retreat and slowly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, there was a pain in her wrist as if pricked by a needle, and Xiao Qingyi closed her eyes even tighter.
Did the bug get into her body?
She didn't dare look.
"You trust me so much?" Shen Qingwu smiled and retracted his hand. "Are you not afraid that I will hurt you?"
"I have nothing but money. Although my fifth brother has changed his business line, he can still make a lot of money through other lines. I will give you 10% of the share of Wangyue Tower. You are not short of money either, so there is no need for you to worry about anything from me." Xiao Qingyi's voice was a little trembling, but very firm.
Shen Qingwu smiled and placed a cup of warm tea that he had cooled himself in Xiao Qingyi's hand, "You can open your eyes now."
Xiao Qingyi's eyelashes trembled, and it took her a long while to finally open her eyes. She quickly looked towards the place where her wrist had hurt just now. There was nothing there except a red dot that seemed to have been rubbed.
There was no wriggling worm like the one he saw on Xie Yuening's arm that day.
She looked at the box that Shen Qingwu had just taken out, and it was empty.
"You can't sense him." Shen Qingwu raised his hand and pressed the red dot. "Remember this spot. If your life is threatened one day, pierce this spot and the poisonous insect will come out stained with blood and kill those around you who threaten you, buying you half an hour to escape."
As Shen Qingwu's hand moved away, the red dot on Xiao Qingyi's wrist also disappeared, but that feeling was engraved in her mind.
Xiao Qingyi stared at Shen Qingwu blankly.
"Remember?" Shen Qingwu nodded with the back of his hand.
Xiao Qingyi nodded stupidly, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Those who were after her money treated her well by giving her all kinds of compliments, and were even reluctant to let the Xiao family get involved in any of the family's power.
But Shen Qingwu gave her such a precious life-saving thing.
Xiao Qingyi's father and brothers have been doing business all over the world and are knowledgeable. Naturally, she also knows about the poisonous insects. These things are very valuable and priceless.
"You've treated me to meals so many times, and I've eaten a lot." Shen Qingwu said jokingly.
Xiao Qingyi also laughed and promised, "I will always make sure you are full, no matter how much you eat."
"Miss, Lin Tingwei also wants to participate in the bidding for Miss Shen's next divination." There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Qingyi's men came in and said.
"Lin Qin?" Xiao Qingyi raised an eyebrow in surprise and turned to ask Shen Qingwu, "He came to see you so blatantly in this way. Do you want to see him? I guess he's here to apologize to you for the Red Fox incident."
