Chapter 56 - Lost
After the National Day, with a tired body, Li Xiang still reached his job as scheduled.
Who knew what he had done during the past few days of National Day? Previously, they had agreed that Aunt Zhang would go to Wen Jing's home to take care of Mo Fei's daily life, but who would have known that at the moment they left the house, Xu Jiaojiao would not do so?
Mo Fei was helpless, she could only call Li Xiang over. She thought that the two beauties would fall from the sky, but she never expected that it would be such a disaster.
Li Xiang unknowingly became a nanny. Every day, before dawn, he would go to the market to buy vegetables, and Wen Jing would personally cook. It was because Mo Fei disliked it when there was no difference between eating Li Xiang's food and feeding the pigs.
After washing up and sweeping the floor, Li Xiang was completely responsible for such trivial things. At the beginning, Li Xiang's mood had also become one of endless complaints.
In just a few short days, Li Xiang's physical activity at home was three to four times more than usual.
It would be easy to be together with Mo Fei in bed, but this exercise was actually responsible for cleaning the room. It would drag it out three times a day, and Li Xiang had thought of escaping countless of times.
However, heaven didn't disappoint those who wanted to. He was finally able to stay awake and go to work.
However, he never expected that the security team leader would work even harder. Other than scanning the floors every day, Li Xiang was responsible for a small area of the garden.
As for his so-called subordinates, they were all hiding in the cleaning room to spar with each other.
He was the only one who kept on patrolling like a fool. Sometimes, he would run off to check on the police before he even had enough to eat for lunch.
It seemed that these two ten thousand yuan were not as easy to earn as he had imagined.
Just like that, two days passed, and Li Xiang finally won the victory of this turning point in his life.
Hitting the USB in the folder, Li Xiang was nervous but at the same time excited. He did not know who the person at the address was. Even more so, he didn't know where Qin Yi was hiding now. However, he was still incomparably nervous. After all, this was the first time he had honestly done something so serious.
Pulling out the small slip of paper from his storage bag, Li Xiang tidied him up and used the perspective pen Qin Yi left behind to seriously scan through it a few times.
The indistinct characters began to become clear, and finally, a few deep lines appeared.
Li Xiang took out the old man's machine from his pocket, wanting to take a few copies of the paper in order to destroy it. However, he discovered that the few important places on the paper could not be photographed at all, and the other places could be clearly photographed.
Li Xiang naturally understood what was going on. "The technology now is too advanced".
He was almost unable to keep up with the pace of the modern era, and his mind was still stuck on the War of Resistance in the early eighteenth century.
Number 38, Fuxing Road, Villa District.
This was the address of the family. The more Li Xiang looked at the words, the more familiar it felt, but he could not remember where he had seen it before.
Perhaps he was being overly suspicious.
Before going out, Li Xiang had even specially instructed Mo Fei to keep her safety, and then hailed a taxi.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use the Land Rover, it was just that he felt that this would be too ostentatious. Right now, he was fighting for the rest of his life for the motherland! Therefore, everything had to be done with caution.
It was just like the period of resistance against Japan. Those heroes of each family, which one of them was not acting in a low-profile manner? Which one of them isn't unyielding and unyielding? Even if they have to sacrifice themselves, they have to stand on the front line and fight valiantly?
A hundred years later, he would be praised by tens of thousands just like this.
The more he thought about it, the more he deviated from his line of sight. Li Xiang's saliva unconsciously dripped out, if only he could be worshipped by so many people in the future, how great that would be.
"Young man, we're here. What are you doing?" Seeing Li Xiang drunk in his own world, the driver was too embarrassed to wake him up, but the next customer was waiting for him, so he broke Li Xiang's beautiful dream.
After paying the fare, Li Xiang and the other two people stood outside the door and stared at the scenery outside the window with their eyes wide open. The place was covered in grass and there was a huge beach opposite to the villa itself, and the storm had arrived. In the villa area, there were a lot of trees planted, which was not exaggerated at all.
The name of the recording was especially interesting. It was not man-made, but was machine tested.
All you have to do is stand on the machine and scan the whole body, and the machine will automatically search for everything that's happened to you since you were born.
If they found out that you had a criminal record or something bad that you did, they would call the police and refuse to go through the door. So no matter how much the thieves wanted to get a sum of money here, they didn't dare to do it.
No one would dare to gamble their life against an unknown windfall. Only a fool would do such a thing.
If not for the fact that Li Xiang was once one of the elites in their army, let alone letting him go, it was most likely that Li Xiang would be dragged out.
Everyone knew that every household in and out of the villa was not an ordinary household. Without a leader of a city or higher, it was impossible to live here. Besides having a reputation, one also had to be rich in economic strength.
The building's price was so high that it was almost unheard-of. If a square meter of good land could reach over a hundred thousand, normal land would at least cost forty to fifty thousand yuan. Many people would die from exhaustion after living for a lifetime and would not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment.
So almost all of the people who live here are the top entrepreneurs in the world.
Most of the people here were greedy because this place was close to the coast, and the areas in this area were all wrapped up. It was usually quiet, so it was convenient for them to discuss matters here before deciding to buy anything.
Of course, the scenery and residential property security would not be that bad.
After searching for a long time, Li Xiang finally stopped at a European villa.
"I'm so tired. How can this district be so big? It's two times bigger than my hometown, Madan." Li Xiang crouched his knees and bent his legs. He ran for the whole morning and his feet were sore.
He took out the paper from his pants pocket and corrected it a few times. After seeing that it was correct, Li Xiang finally pressed the doorbell with relief.
"Beep, beep, beep." Beep beep beep beep
After a while, someone finally opened the door to the empty villa.
The man was dressed in black shorts with a flowery green top, and had wavy hair that fell to his chin. He looked especially young, a standard woman in her forties or fifties.
"Hello, may I ask who this is?" The woman, in her slippers, trotted out.
"Uh, auntie, no, auntie, hello. May I ask if the owner of your villa is home? I have something I want to talk to her about. "
The old woman looked at Li Xiang, her large eyes moving extremely fast, carefully sweeping through every corner of Li Xiang's body.
"Why are you looking for her? She's not at home right now, so I can help you pass a message to her." The woman said kind-heartedly without the slightest bit of snobbery.
After all, he was from the countryside. Naturally, he wouldn't look down on the countryside. It was just that this young man had to suffer so much at such a young age. It was truly pitiful.
But sympathy was sympathy. After all, she wasn't going to let him in so easily as she didn't know his origins. She had to get to the bottom of this.
Li Xiang was very clear about his aunt's concerns as well.
"Auntie, look at this note. If you hand her over to the owner of your villa, she'll naturally understand my intentions. If she doesn't, I'll scram by myself. Don't worry, I'm not someone who takes advantage of the situation."
These words were obviously full of sarcasm and ridicule. The woman felt a little embarrassed that her thoughts had been made clear.
Naturally, he eagerly carried Li Xiang's paper note up the stairs and rushed towards his master's bedroom.
After a long while, the old lady finally opened the villa's door and brought Li Xiang in.
"I'm very sorry, young man. You know that there are too many people who are fishing in troubled waters right now. I was afraid that something might be amiss, so I decided to do this."
"It's fine, Auntie. I understand."
Li Xiang obediently found a sofa and sat down.
"If you need anything to drink, go find it in the fridge. I'm still busy cooking. I won't be receiving you then. Xiao Min will be here soon, please wait a little longer. "
After saying that, the old granny pointed towards a room for Li Xiang, then excitedly ran over to cook.
It was only then that Li Xiang had the time to take note of the cloth cover of the house. The house was actually about the same size as a quiet house, it was just that the furniture was sparse, thus it looked very quiet.
However, every place was decorated in an extremely gold and exquisite manner. It was either made of gold or silver, so it was exceptionally resplendent. At the same time, it was also an obvious contrast to a quiet villa.
The majority of Wen Jing's home was made of the same red wood. It had a unique traditional Chinese cultural flavor, just like her identity. She had an elegant temperament. As for the owner of this house, he was probably just a rich old man who loved money. However, for him to be able to sit in such a high-end place and count money, his brain must be on the right track.
Especially since there was a wine cellar in the middle of the room, all kinds of famous wines belonged to a good category.
"Who is it?"
From the staircase came the sound of high-heeled shoes, and a woman with a particularly enchanting figure walked down the stairs.
Looking at such a pleasing side, Li Xiang was a little disappointed in his heart. Wasn't it a whimsical thought for such a petite girl to ask her to think of a way to save Jiang Yi?
He wished now that the person in front of him was a sturdy man who could fight alongside him, at least.
"Eh, hello, I'm Li Xiang. A friend of mine called me over to give you something."
The lady looked at Li Xiang, her expression did not react, and coldly sat down to listen.
"It's like this. I don't know if you've ever seen this before."
The woman nodded.
"The owner of this item is a friend of mine. I believe you also know him. He is currently in danger, so I had no choice but to ask you to come out and help him."
"Please be serious, tell me what the situation is like in detail."
Every word was like a gust of cold wind blowing against him.
