Chapter 144 There is movement in another courtyard
"It sounds like I sold her." Shang Wan curled his lips, "She paid for a ride, I took her into the city, and we separated at the city gate. How do I know where she went?"
Mrs. Wei said anxiously: "Why don't you bring her back?"
Shang Wan was speechless, "I'm not her mother."
Old Mrs. Wei wanted to say something else, but Shang Wan said: "Get out of the way quickly, I'm a bully and I won't hit anyone who blocks me."
Remembering the last time she was almost hit by a bullock cart, Ms. Liu hurriedly helped Old Mrs. Wei to move away. Old Mrs. Wei watched reluctantly as Shang Wan drove the bullock cart away.
She turned her head and scolded Mr. Liu, "I said to keep him locked up, but you insist on letting him out. Now that's it, he's gone. Let me see where you go to find him."
Mrs. Liu said sarcastically: "I didn't expect Yuzhi to come to the city. Aren't you worried about damaging the child?"
She stroked Mrs. Wei's back and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will ask the boss to go to the city and bring Yuzhi back tomorrow."
"No hurry, no hurry, can I not be in a hurry?"
Mrs. Wei wished she could catch Liu Yuzhi now. Seeing that the matter was about to be completed, if something unexpected happened, everything would be in vain.
"She can run when she grows legs. Where can you tell Jianshan to find her tomorrow?"
Mrs. Liu said: "But it's too late to enter the city now."
Mrs. Wei was even more angry, "Now that I know it's too late, what did you do earlier?"
Mrs. Liu muttered, "With so much work at home, we can't just leave the work and go to the city to find someone, right? You need money to go to the city."
"Money, money, money, now that the matter is done, how can I be without you?" Old Mrs. Wei was so angry that she twisted Liu's arm twice. Why did she just look at what was in front of her?
Ms. Liu rubbed her pinched arm and saw that her mother was angry, so she had to continue to persuade her, "Yuzhi is timid and doesn't have much money on her, so she won't run around."
"Besides, that child Yuzhi is filial and will never disappoint your grandmother. She might come back tomorrow on her own."
These words barely made Mrs. Wei feel better, and she hummed: "I will go to the city early tomorrow morning to find someone. You careless little hoof, as a grandmother, I can only hope for her good, but I can also harm her." Can’t do it?”
"Yes, yes, mother, you are all thinking about Yuzhi." Mrs. Liu followed Mrs. Wei's words and helped her walk home.
On the other side, Shang Wan, who was driving the bullock cart home, listened in confusion.
It has something to do with money. Could it be that the Lin family plans to sell Liu Yuzhi?
But Liu Yuzhi is not a daughter of the Lin family, so even if she wants to sell it, it won’t be the Lin family’s turn to sell it, right?
Shang Wan felt strange and told Lu Chengjing about it after returning home.
But there was too little information, and Lu Chengjing couldn't analyze the reason.
"The left and right have nothing to do with our family, just wait and see what happens." Shang Wan put the matter behind him and handed the letter and baggage from Qiao Yu'an to Lu Chengjing.
Lu Chengjing opened the baggage and found the account book inside. He put the baggage aside, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, and a piece of paper fell out.
Shang Wan picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and found that there was a drawing on the piece of paper of a thin, tall man wearing a gray shorts, and his face looked somewhat familiar.
Lu Chengjing ignored the content on the piece of paper for the time being. He read the letter at a glance and then read it in a low voice to Shang Wan.
There was one thing written in the letter. Lu Chengjing asked Qiao Yu'an to send people to keep an eye on something in the other courtyard.
Last night, someone from another hospital sent two children away, and the person responsible for escorting them was the person pictured on the piece of paper.
"Take a look." Shang Wan handed the piece of paper to Lu Chengjing, "It feels like I've seen it somewhere."
Lu Chengjing took it and looked at it carefully, and recognized the person in the painting through his eyebrows.
He said firmly: "It's Gao Qi."
"Gao Qi?" Shang Wan stared at the person on the piece of paper. How did this person look like Gao Qi?
The face of the person on the paper was so thin that it sunken inward, making the cheekbones on both sides become taller and taller. His eyes were sinister and he had a gloomy aura. He was completely different from the Gao Qi Shang Wan recognized.
Moreover, the person on the piece of paper has a beard.
As we all know, it is impossible for my father-in-law to grow a beard.
So Shang Wan didn't think about Gao Qi at all. "This beard should be attached." Lu Chenjing raised his hand to cover the lower half of the person's face in the painting, and drew two strokes on the eyebrows with his pen, indicating to Shang Wan to take a closer look.
This time Shang Wan finally matched the painting with Gao Qi himself.
It's not her fault that her eyesight is clumsy. For people who are used to sketches and sketches, suddenly seeing characters in ink paintings, it's hard to equate the two for a while.
Shang Wan frowned and said, "Gao Qi has been in another courtyard, why didn't the government find anyone?"
"The government's wanted notice is based on Gao Qi's previous appearance." Lu Chengjing stared at the person on the piece of paper. "Gao Qi looks like this now. Even if he appears in front of an official, he probably won't be able to find it."
Shang Wan nodded, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Encountering big changes can indeed change a person, but people just change, not change. You can still see some traces of the original in you, but Gao Qi is not at all.
Just looking at the painting on the piece of paper, no matter from the image, temperament or eyes, you can't imagine Gao Qi at all, as if he was a different person.
If this person is really Gao Qi, Shang Wan even suspects that the former Gao Qi was deliberately disguised to deceive others.
She raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, feeling that she had overlooked something.
Lu Chengjing poured a cup of medicinal tea and pushed it to her hand, and said warmly: "Whether this person is Gao Qi or not is not important, the purpose is important."
Qiao Yuan's people have already followed, waiting to see where this person will go.
"Trouble." Shang Wan sighed softly, picked up the medicinal tea and took a few sips.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am." Lu Chengjing's lips curved into a smile, "There has been some movement in the other courtyard. When Lu Chengyuan comes to Beijing, the matter will be settled soon."
Shang Wan reached out and touched the corner of his lips, "Smile again."
Lu Chengjing raised the corners of his lips as he was told, and a smile spread like ripples in his eyes.
"It looks good." Shang Wan leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, "I'll go take a look in the fields, and you can take stock."
Lu Chengjing said softly "Hmm".
Shang Wan drank the medicinal tea in his cup, stood up and left.
"Hey!" Chu Xu saw Shang Wan walking by and grabbed the hem of her skirt, "Can you take care of her?"
Of course she was referring to Yuanyuan.
Shang Wan glanced at the two children on the cushions and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yuanyuan obediently put her little hands in front of her. Chu Xu pointed at Yuanyuan and complained angrily, "She let the turtle crawl around on me."
Shang Wan asked: "Did you touch any wounds?"
Chu Xu: "No, but I don't like it."
Shang Wan: "Did you tell Yuanyuan that you didn't like it anymore?"
Chu Xu pursed his lips, "I told you, but she didn't listen."
Shang Wan knelt down and touched his head, "You can reason with her. You are six years old, but you can't argue with a one-year-old baby?"
Chu Xu glanced at the little girl playing with a turtle next to her, "But she can't even speak human language."
Shang Wan patted him, "That's called not speaking fluently and having too little vocabulary. She's only one year old. Please be patient and talk to her."
"But……"
"There are no buts." Shang Wan said, not wanting to be a kindergarten teacher, "Don't be such a spoiled child and complain to adults about everything. You can handle it yourself."
"I'm not a cute baby." Chu Xu blushed and snorted, "Speak for yourself, I will convince her."
