The driver at the other end didn't wait for Li Qingqing's return, so he had to get out of the car to look for someone.
But after searching around for more than ten minutes, even calling through the shopping mall's missing person broadcast, no one was found...
The driver's heart sank and he quickly called Sheng Jun.
"You weren't kidnapped by bad guys, were you?" The driver's voice trembled.
The driver was indeed more worried about Li Qingqing's personal safety than worrying about being punished by his boss if he didn't do things well.
Just as Li Qingqing thought, after all, her current body is that of a child.
After Sheng Jun received the call, his voice became much calmer: "This is Jin City, it's not that easy to be abducted."
"Then she..."
"Maybe he ran away on his own."
"What!" The driver's worry disappeared instantly, "Then I will ask the mall to cooperate with the video collection immediately."
Sheng Jun asked: "What mall?"
The driver said: "Yutai Shopping Mall, here on Fuyang Road."
Sheng Jun paused for a moment and said, "That company is controlled by the Qin family."
The driver was stunned: "Then..."
"Come back, you can't adjust the surveillance." Sheng Jun hung up the phone.
He shook his head and commented in a low voice on Li Qingqing: "A little clever, but not much."
Li Qingqing didn't expect that there were so many enthusiastic people at this end. Along the way, some people asked her if she was lost, and some shouted to call the police.
Fortunately, she has the soul of an adult after all, so she can easily make up a few lies.
She said her parents were testing whether she could buy things alone, but in fact they were following behind quietly...
As soon as these words came out, the thoughts of the enthusiastic people were dispelled.
She walked out of the mall and walked farther and farther, feeling more and more tired as she walked.
She then realized that it would be difficult to pretend to be abducted.
Where should she stay tonight?
It's absolutely unacceptable to ask random passers-by for help. If they turn around, the police will be called.
"Only when you endure hardships can you become a master." Li Qingqing gritted her teeth and admonished herself.
She found a bridge hole and planned to make do with it here.
But Li Qingqing didn't expect that bridge openings would be so popular!
As soon as she turned the page, she saw several men surrounding the stove. They all turned their heads and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Li Qingqing shrank her neck: "I have nowhere to go."
As she said this, she noticed that someone in the crowd looked familiar. But she couldn't remember exactly where she had seen it.
"A child ran away from home?" The man opposite frowned and scolded: "Children nowadays have such a bad temper! If we dared to run away from home at that time, we would have to break a stick!"
The people next to you also said: "Hurry up and go home. If you don't go back, we will have to call the police and call your parents."
Li Qingqing was so anxious that she didn't even have time to make up a reasonable excuse. The expression of the familiar-looking man changed first.
The man said: "Maybe there is something difficult."
When Li Qingqing heard the voice, she felt it sounded familiar.
"What difficulties can a child have? How can it be as difficult as adults like us who support our families?" Others sneered.
The man said: "There are also cases, such as my father remarrying and having a stepmother..."
Li Qingqing only felt that the man seemed to be hinting at her in a subtle way. She cried quickly and said, "How did you know that my father has a stepmother?"
These other people became quiet, looked at each other, called Li Qingqing over and asked: "Then your biological father is not good to you? Then you still have to go back. Speak clearly."
Li Qingqing sat with them and began to make up her own tear-jerking story.
But the man shouted: "Brother Yong, come with me."
The voice is still very familiar.
Li Qingqing finally remembered who he was in a flash of lightning.
——Li Jiang!
Li Xiaoya’s father who ran away long ago!
How, how could he appear here?
Li Qingqing suddenly remembered the phone call Sheng Yuxiao received in the garden.
When he said "Come for the duck" on the phone, did he refer to him?
Li Qingqing suddenly felt extremely excited.
She couldn't help but think of what happened in her previous life.
So sometimes she really hates Li Xiaoya's good life.
Li Jiang was nothing special. He had gone to high school and was admitted to college. Although he didn't go to school, he did claim to be on the same level as Li Qingqing's college student father.
Because of this unique condition, he said that he had connections outside and wanted to go out to make money to raise Li Xiaoya, but someone actually invested money in him.
Who knew that there would be no news after leaving...
Is that because Li Jiang is not doing well?
Quite the opposite!
Li Qingqing saw a piece of news one year about Jiangcheng's selection of outstanding entrepreneurs. Li Jiang is one of them.
At that time, some people praised Li Jiang for being quite upright and not as fat as other rich people.
As a result, someone jumped out to pick on him.
He said that he once worked as a sweetheart for the second wife of a rich man in Jiangcheng. Later, the rich man died, and his second wife came forward and married him.
Li Jiang relied on this woman's money and helped her manage the industry. More than ten years later, he suddenly became an entrepreneur.
At that time, he even changed his name.
He didn't go back to Lijia Village simply because he didn't want to give money to the villagers, and he didn't want to care about his own father.
Later, I don't know whether it was because Li Xiaoya was adopted by a wealthy family and he wanted to curry favor with the wealthy family, or because he, the biological father, finally found out about his conscience.
He bought many gifts for Li Xiaoya and hired villagers from Lijia Village as lobbyists. What else can he say with certainty, the inheritance from now on will belong to Li Xiaoya.
A black-hearted person like Li Jiang can make a lot of money!
No matter what his purpose is, Li Xiaoya has been very lucky in his two lives!
A bastard like Li Jiang would turn around and beg her for forgiveness.
Recalling this, Li Qingqing felt a bitter and sour taste in her mouth.
But why is he here now?
Oh, by the way...because of her butterfly wings, some stories are different from her previous life! Lijia Village is now involved in a human trafficking case!
Of course Lijiang cannot continue to develop.
Li Xiaoya lost a rich father... This made Li Qingqing feel much better.
*
Li Qingqing did not admit his mistake. This person was Li Jiang.
Li Jiang called the man named "Brother Yong" aside and said to Brother Yong, "That's a kid from a rich family."
Brother Yong was stunned and asked instinctively: "How did you know?"
"Look at what you're wearing."
"Oh! Then..."
"Keep her, don't call the police, keep her for a few days, and then send her back when her family gets worried. You can get some money in exchange."
Brother Yong's face turned pale: "Then, what's the point?"
Li Jiang lowered his head and sighed and said: "I have a daughter but I can't recognize it. Your daughter is right next to you. Unfortunately, she is ill. How can you support her with the little money you have on the construction site? Isn't your wife already out running for takeout? Yong. Brother, you have to cherish it. I envy your daughter even though it’s too late to be by your side.”
Brother Yong’s face was red and white.
A long while.
He gritted his teeth, punched the concrete pillar next to him, and said, "Okay! I listen to you! I know you study a lot and you are smart. ... But this is not blackmail, right?"
"Brother Yong, have you ever seen a rich person?"
"I, I didn't..."
"It hurts you even if you spend one yuan, but rich people won't frown even if they spend ten thousand yuan. They will take the initiative to pay you to thank you. You are just a kind person who took in a child. What kind of blackmail is this?"
"Yep……"
Li Jiang patted him and said, "Brother Yong, no matter how good you are to me, I will always think about you. Tell me anything you have to say, and let's find a solution together."
"Yes, yes, then... let me ask you..." Brother Yong lowered his head, "I read on the Internet that there was a man who abandoned his daughter and ran away with his lover. His name was Li Jiang. There are also people on the Internet who posted it The photo looks a lot like you..."
Those young masters are really difficult to deal with!
Li Jiang spat in his heart.
But his face was very calm, and he asked: "Is it very popular online?"
"It's... that little girl, her name is Li Xiaoya. She said she was picked up by some rich man and she is now on a show. She is a very beautiful girl..." Brother Yong quietly looked at his expression.
Li Jiang said: "How can I be so lucky to have such a daughter?"
He paused and then said, "But even if my daughter is not that good, I still like her and I just want her to come back to me."
Brother Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it is better to have our own cubs."
Li Jiang and Brother Yong walked back after chatting.
Now, he no longer has to worry about the people around him betraying his whereabouts to the police and those young men.
He would tie their interests together as tightly as possible.
Li Jiang walked over and sat down next to Li Qingqing.
Suddenly he shouted: "Li Qingqing?"
Li Qingqing shivered with fright.
Li Jiang lowered his voice: "It's really you."
Li Qingqing turned her head and looked at Li Jiang as if she were a ghost.
Not only did she recognize him, he actually remembered her too!
Li Jiang lowered his head and fiddled with the stove and said, "It's a good thing."
What a good thing?
Li Qingqing frowned. I wonder why everyone around Li Xiaoya is so difficult to deal with? It’s so difficult to deal with that it’s even a little scary!
