Chapter 13: Little Drama Queen Seeks a Hug
Snapping back to his senses, he quickly turned his head to look at Zhouzhou and hastily said, "Little girl, do you have a way to find Little Yu? If you can find him, I'll give you anything you want!"
Remembering her words just now, he became even more anxious.
She said there were only two hours left.
They had wasted quite a bit of time just now. Was there still enough time?
He regretted it so much. He shouldn't have wasted time.
"Can I still save Little Yu?" he asked with a trembling voice.
"Yes, of course," Zhouzhou replied with a relaxed expression. "There's still time, Uncle. I'll take you to him."
As she spoke, she was about to run out.
Qin Lie grabbed her and lowered his voice, asking, "Can you really find him?"
A person's life was at stake, and this wasn't a joke.
Zhouzhou nodded her little head vigorously, resembling a chick pecking at rice grains. "Yes, yes, I've calculated the location of little brother."
Qin Lie stared at her for a while, and seeing that she wasn't joking, he let go of her and decided to trust her for now. "Let's go."
Soon, the few of them were sitting in the car, with Zhouzhou holding the Qiankun Mirror in her hands and not lifting her head. "Turn right ahead, then go north for five hundred meters, and turn south..."
Qin Lie drove according to her instructions and surprisingly didn't end up in a dead end all the way.
He slightly raised his eyebrows in slight surprise and glanced at her through the rearview mirror, pondering.
"Dad, stop the car in front of that boundary." After driving for over an hour, she finally spoke up.
Qin Lie looked to the side and indeed saw a boundary marker. The place seemed abandoned, overgrown with weeds, and one couldn't see it without getting closer.
How did she know?
"Are we here?" Liao Jiang asked nervously, glancing at the time. There was only a little time left from the two hours she mentioned, making him even more anxious.
Before Zhouzhou could answer, a hint of smoke reached their noses, and a sharp pain gripped Liao Jiang's heart. He had a feeling that his son was inside.
Zhouzhou's brows furrowed, and she quickly ran towards that direction.
Qin Lie and Liao Jiang hurriedly followed suit.
When they reached the scene, the smoke became thicker. Liao Jiang was coughing uncontrollably, but he couldn't care about himself and forcefully pounded on the iron gate.
However, the iron gate was securely locked and couldn't be broken. He was so desperate that he almost cried.
Seeing that Liao Jiang couldn't make any progress after a while, Zhouzhou sighed and pulled him back. "Uncle, let me do it."
Without waiting for Liao Jiang to ask her what she was planning, Zhouzhou lifted her chubby little foot and lightly kicked the door. The iron gate that was difficult to move just moments ago instantly collapsed with a loud crash.
He opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
Zhouzhou didn't say much to him. She took out a fireproof talisman and stuck it on her forehead, then swiftly ran inside. In the blink of an eye, she came out with a little boy in her hand.
It was Liao Yu.
"Little Yu!" Liao Jiang hurriedly reached out and took him, calling his name anxiously.
Qin Lie also carried the child aside, furrowing his brows as he examined him. The boy had fair and clean skin, without a trace of burns. Qin Lie finally relaxed a bit.
Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and looked at him. Seeing the worry in his eyes, she couldn't help but grin. She held his hand and placed it on her bald head. "Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Qin Lie withdrew his gaze and instantly returned to his expressionless self. Zhouzhou pouted her lips and was about to speak when she heard Liao Jiang's desperate shout, "Little Yu, wake up!"
She turned her head and saw Liao Jiang holding Liao Yu, crying in pain. However, Liao Yu remained unresponsive, his eyes tightly shut.
Zhouzhou walked over, held his wrist, felt his pulse, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag. She poured out a green pill and placed it in Liao Yu's mouth, pinching his chin.
Liao Jiang was about to ask what it was when he saw Liao Yu's eyelids twitch. He slowly woke up, and all the questions he wanted to ask were forgotten as he exclaimed in joy, "Little Yu!"
Liao Yu blinked his eyes and weakly called out, "Dad," his voice sounding feeble.
Liao Jiang, as if hearing a heavenly voice, was filled with excitement. "Yes! I’m here!"
He hugged his son tightly, his face filled with relief.
On the side, Zhouzhou watched them, her eyes rolling around. Suddenly, she hugged Qin Lie's leg and said, "Dad, I feel dizzy too."
Qin Lie lowered his head and looked at the little girl with rosy cheeks. He remained silent.
Zhouzhou looked up at him, then glanced in Liao Yu's direction, showing envy. She turned her head and said, "Dad, I was also choked by the smoke."
As she spoke, she coughed twice.
Qin Lie looked at her poor acting skills, feeling speechless in his heart. He reached out and picked up the little girl. "Let's go."
Zhouzhou's feet wobbled in the air before landing on the ground. She felt a bit disappointed. Dad was really heartless. Sighing, she remembered the food she had eaten earlier and silently encouraged herself. Master said that it's not easy to eat enough, and she must not give up easily.
Hmm!
She clenched her little fist, her expression serious as she nodded.
Liao Jiang couldn't rest assured and took his son to the hospital for a check-up to ensure there were no problems. Only then did he completely set his heart at ease.
He gratefully said to Zhouzhou, "Little girl, I'm really grateful to you today. If you have anything, just let us know, and our Liao family will definitely help."
Zhouzhou's hand discreetly moved towards Qin Lie's clothes, and upon hearing this, she looked up and tilted her head in thought. She said, "Can Uncle chat with my dad for a while?"
She had seen her dad walking towards this uncle at the banquet earlier, as if they had something to talk about.
Upon hearing her words, Liao Jiang was taken aback, and Qin Lie also glanced at her.
Seeing their reaction, Liao Jiang suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, CEO Qin, let's go to the coffee shop downstairs and chat for a while. I also want to hear your thoughts on the New Harbor project."
This project was the one Qin Corporation was preparing for recently.
Liao Jiang's previous attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to cooperate with Qin Corporation. The sudden change now was self-evident.
Feeling their gazes, Zhouzhou also looked up at him. Her fair little face revealed two small dimples, making her cute and lovely.
Qin Lie averted his gaze and walked downstairs with Liao Jiang.
They returned half an hour later.
Zhouzhou was boredly swinging her short legs, her hands propped on the chair. When she heard movement, she turned her head and saw Qin Lie with a reddish glow on his face, indicating that they had reached an agreement.
She felt happy in her heart, jumped off the chair in a flash, and ran towards him, hugging his leg. "Dad!"
The little girl was chubby, and her soft bump against his leg made Qin Lie instinctively catch her. He looked at Zhouzhou, who was full of joy, and his expression became complicated.
Liao Jiang laughed, "CEO Qin is truly fortunate. Why haven't I heard about you having a daughter before?"
Qin Lie lowered his gaze and looked at Zhouzhou. His fingertip casually touched her smooth forehead, and he lightly said, "Found her on the street."
