Chapter 70
Before Wang Jian'an could even ask him, Nie Xiujin ran away directly.
Wang Jian'an: "......"
Helplessly, he could only take a thermos cup from the office and go to the service desk on the first floor of the bookstore for his shift!
There was no choice but to dote on his own subordinates.
Little did he know, when he found out that they had gone behind his back to find Jian Xi and learn the lost art of paper manipulation, he really wanted to slap his present self!

Tang Xingyou hummed a song all the way and didn't notice that several cars were following behind her.
After arriving at Star Galaxy Community and getting out of the car, just as she closed the car door and took a few steps, she saw several very familiar cars. She was stunned. Weren't they Big Brother and the Deputy Squad Leader? Did Xiaoqi also call them to come together?
Shi Fan got out of the car and walked quickly towards Tang Xingyou. "Xiaoyou, you are so unfair! You wanted to secretly learn a skill and didn't even call me!"
"Wasn't it Xiaoqi who called you guys?" Tang Xingyou asked in surprise.
Shi Fan confidently replied, "Of course not, I overheard your phone call and followed."
Tang Xingyou glanced at the several people behind him. "Big Brother, you guys too?"
Nie Xiujin nervously touched his nose. "Yeah."
Tang Xingyou: "......"
Of course, such opportunities were rare. Parasitic ghosts weren't exactly commonplace!
For a moment, the atmosphere among the group was unusually quiet. After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old child!
Song Zhou was quiet because he was nervous, Nie Xiujin and the others were quiet because they felt regret, and Jian Xi remained silent while calculating the time in her mind. She needed to solve this as soon as possible because she had a scheduled driving test at 2 p.m. It was currently half past twelve, seventy percent of the time was left, one hour, plus the travel time to the driving school. Perfect!
Song Zhou's home was a three-story elevator apartment. He lived in 302, a two-bedroom, one-living-room house. He was a single father whose wife had died in a car accident seven years ago. He hadn't remarried and had been raising his daughter, Song Min, alone.
At first, his daughter was very attached to him, but as she entered adolescence, there were many things she no longer talked to him about. He was also someone who didn't express himself well, so they gradually stopped chatting.
Later, he became the driver for the Qi Family, and he spent less and less time at home. Sometimes, the family would use the car at night, and he worried that his daughter wouldn't be safe at home alone, so he applied for a dormitory for her at school.
At first, everything was normal, but in the past month, the teacher had called him several times, saying that his daughter had been involved in three fights within a week, started wearing makeup, started dating, and her grades suddenly dropped to the bottom of the class!
All these things were completely different from the previous Song Min. But sometimes, she would return to being well-behaved, and her grades would immediately return to the top of the class... It was abnormal. He still remembered the teacher hesitating for a long time before reluctantly suggesting that he take Song Min to see a psychiatrist.
He didn't believe it at the time, until the teacher sent him a photo of the different Song Min. The explosive hairstyle that was only popular in the 90s, the heavy black eye makeup... It scared him, and he almost didn't recognize his own daughter.
The teacher said that she was dressing like this more and more often, at least five days a week.
So he hurriedly brought Song Min back from school and took her to see a doctor, but he remembered the expression on Song Min's face at the time—disdain, mockery, and sarcasm.
The visit to the hospital yielded no results. Everything appeared normal, but Song Min's abnormal behavior persisted, which forced Song Zhou to consider other possibilities.
He was the driver for the Qi Family and had certainly heard about the recent famous Jian Xi. Without hesitation, he directly called Xu Yan to make an appointment.
As for why he was so certain that his daughter had provoked that kind of person when he met Jian Xi in the morning, it was because Song Min overheard his phone call to Xu Yan.
At that time, she stood not far away, her gaze icy and her tone mocking, saying, "Don't bother with those futile efforts. Soon enough, her body will be mine!"
