"Xiao Qi..."
The man's voice trembled slightly, not out of fear, but out of the excitement deep in his heart.
"I am your sixth brother, do you remember me?" His words poured out like a storm, with a gleam of expectation in his eyes.
"You were only three years old that year, and you got separated from us in the crowd, and we have never heard from you since then. We have traveled thousands of miles, but have never been able to find your trace. However, as the heavens may not give up, China's information database was fully upgraded a few days ago. With this opportunity, we finally found your whereabouts..."
"But I still have doubts in my heart, fearing that all this is just a lie, so I didn't alarm others, and I came alone."
The man talked endlessly, but Xia Zhuozhuo's face was still as cold as an ice sculpture, and the vigilance and alertness in his eyes had never diminished. She had just escaped from a crisis where she was almost sold, and she couldn't easily believe everything here.
"I don't care who sent you, leave quickly before I make a move!" Her tone was firm and decisive, revealing unquestionable majesty.
She always adhered to the principle of not offending others unless they offended me, and she would not take the initiative to attack as long as the other party did not pose a threat to her. However, the man's eagerness and enthusiasm made her feel at a loss, and even a little irritated.
Seeing her so stubborn, the man was even more anxious. He knew that if he could not gain her trust as soon as possible, this reunion might end in failure. So he hurriedly took out a fish-shaped jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Xia Zhuozhuo.
"Look, this is a Pisces jade pendant specially customized for you by your father. When you were lost, it was lost with you. Now, it can finally be returned to its original owner."
Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed with a strange light when he touched the jade pendant. She slowly took off a similar jade pendant from her neck and put it together with the jade pendant in the man's hand. It was indeed a pair.
The man saw this and his doubts instantly disappeared. He originally only identified Xia Zhuozhuo based on her similar appearance to her mother. Now with this jade pendant as ironclad evidence, he was even more certain.
"Are the three words 'Xia Zhuozhuo' still engraved on your jade pendant?" he asked eagerly.
Xia Zhuozhuo narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the jade pendant carefully. Indeed, her name was engraved in a hidden place on the jade pendant. These three words were so secret that even she herself had never discovered them. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about this man. Could he really be her own brother?
The defense in her heart gradually dropped, and she asked coldly: "Where is your car parked?"
"It's at the entrance of the next village." The man quickly answered.
"Take me there! Remember, don't play any tricks. If I find out you've lied to me, today will be your death anniversary!"
"Okay, okay." The man nodded repeatedly and walked quickly to the door. He climbed clumsily onto the dilapidated tricycle and asked Xia Zhuozhu to get on.
Xia Zhuozhu was about to say no, but suddenly felt dizzy. She endured the discomfort and sat on the tricycle. Seeing this, the man was secretly surprised: "Xiao Qi, your body is so..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Zhuozhu: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go! Go that way."
"Oh, oh." The man responded and pedaled the tricycle hard.
Along the way, Xia Zhuozhu remained alert and kept an eye on the surrounding movements. The man pedaled the tricycle carefully, fearing that he would disturb her. Half an hour later, the tricycle finally arrived at the next village.
As soon as she got off the tricycle, Xia Zhuozhuo saw a black luxury car parked on the side of the road. Although the car was luxurious, the front wheel was scrapped and the front of the car was seriously deformed. She couldn't help but frowned, thinking to herself: Is this the car he mentioned?
The man seemed to see her doubts and quickly explained: "Xiao Qi, don't worry. I have called the nearest 4S shop to tow the car, and they will be here in about two hours."
However, Xia Zhuozhuo ignored his explanation. She walked straight to the front of the car and began to check the condition of the car. The man looked at her in amazement: "Xiao Qi, can you repair a car?"
Xia Zhuozhuo did not answer, but silently used the jack to lift the car, and then began to change the tire. In less than ten minutes, she had changed the tire skillfully. She kicked the stone on the tire, opened the car door and sat on it.
When she turned her head, she found that the man was still standing there in a daze. She frowned impatiently: "What are you doing? Get in the car!"
The man finally reacted and hurried to the passenger seat. He looked at Xia Zhuozhuo with some emotion: "Xiao Qi, you are amazing! You can actually change tires! I, your brother, have never touched these things before."
Xia Zhuozhuo answered concisely: "I learned it when I was cutting grass and feeding pigs."
The man felt sad when he heard this. He knew that his sister had a hard time these years, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He secretly vowed to take her home and let her live a happy life.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry. After you and your brother go home, you won't have to live such a hard life anymore." He said affectionately.
However, before he finished speaking, the car sped away like an arrow from a string. He was so scared that he kept shouting: "Slow down! Xiao Qi! Brother is scared! Drive slower!"
Xia Zhuozhuo turned a deaf ear to him and just drove the car with full concentration. The man's screams echoed in her ears, but she remained unmoved. Finally, at a sharp turn, she freed her right hand and chopped the man's neck with a knife. The man fainted immediately, and the world became quiet.
The car speed increased again, and Xia Zhuozhuo skillfully changed lanes and overtook on the road, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the road. She had only one thought in her mind: get to Shanghai as soon as possible and find the person who could prove her identity.
On the other side, on a plane that was about to take off, Liu Yueru hung up the phone with a gloomy face. She took off the blindfold on Jiang Ze's face and said angrily: "Something happened!"
Jiang Ze opened his eyes impatiently: "What happened?"
"Jiang Chunhua and the others' house caught fire, and everyone was burned to death." Liu Yueru said coldly.
Jiang Ze sat up straight after hearing this: "Where is Xia Zhuozhuo?"
"Need I say? Burned to death too!" Liu Yueru's tone was full of disdain.
Jiang Ze was relieved: "It's good to die. It's just 15,000 yuan. When I was pursuing Xinyue, 15 million was just daily expenses."
However, Liu Yueru's face did not show any sadness, only irritability and disdain. She said coldly: "But 15,000 is also money..."
Jiang Ze shook his head: "You are right. When I return to Shanghai, I will burn some paper money for her, which is also worthy of her."
Liu Yueru frowned disapprovingly, but did not say much. She remembered that she also brought sesame cakes from her hometown, so she opened her bag and prepared to take them out to eat. However, at this moment, a card fell out of the bag and fell to the ground.
"You dropped something." Jiang Ze glanced at the card with his sharp eyes and reminded Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru picked up the card on the ground and looked at it for a few times, remembering the origin of the card. It was a credit card she applied for specially for this trip, and she had thought that she could spend a lot in Shanghai. However, now...
Jiang Ze looked at the card with disgust: "Twelve times? You maxed it out in one trip? How much money can you make?"
He said, took the card from Liu Yueru and threw it out. However, Liu Yueru hurriedly reached out to take it: "It's fun to do it no matter how small it is! For so many years, I only give me one thousand yuan a month to support you, and I have saved more than 100,000 yuan!"
Jiang Ze was too lazy to pay attention to her and put on the eye mask again to take a nap. He knew that when he went to Shanghai to see Xinyue, he would have to coax her well. After all, she didn't like him to bring Liu Yueru, a burden, to Shanghai.
The man who was knocked unconscious by Xia Zhuozhuo finally woke up after a moment of coma. He found himself in the bustling city of Shanghai. He looked at everything around him blankly, his heart full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know how he got here, let alone what to do next. However, he had a firm belief in his heart: no matter what, he had to find Xiaoqi and take her home.
