Chapter 213: I met a gangster
In fact, Qiao Xi didn't know what to do.
But neither her father nor her eldest brother came back, so Qiao Nan and Qiao Bei couldn't count on them. She had to take action to prevent Mother Qiao from worrying at home.
After leaving the health center, she went to the station in the town. After waiting for twenty minutes, she bought a ticket and got on the shuttle bus to the city.
It takes two hours to get to the city from the town. Many people on the bus were motion sick and some were vomiting. Fortunately, Qiao Xi sat by the window to get some air and look at the scenery along the way.
A little after ten o'clock, Josie arrived at the gold market.
Although she had been here in her previous life, she couldn't help but exclaimed after getting off the car.
Even if it's just the station, there are much more people in the city and it's much more lively. There are seven or eight vendors selling various things outside the station.
Qiao Xi had no intention of shopping at the moment. She walked towards the security guard at the station and asked the security guard for the address of Teacher Yu's home.
"The courtyard of the chemical raw materials factory..." The security guard thought for a moment: "It's quite a distance from here. You should take the tram!"
Seeing that the uncle was not impatient, Qiao Xi asked in detail how to take the tram.
The uncle also moved here from the town. Seeing that Josie was from the town, the little girl was pretty and very polite. She taught Josie very enthusiastically.
"Thank you, uncle!" Josie bowed.
It made the security guard laugh so much.
Josie got on the tram as her uncle taught her, keeping alert and paying attention to her destination along the way.
Some of the women in the car were wearing high heels and short skirts. They were hot and sexy. Josie was embarrassed but admired them.
After getting out of the car, Qiao Xi inquired and went upstairs.
The courtyard of the chemical raw materials factory is a newly built small building, which looks quite impressive from a distance.
Qiao Xi bought a bag of pastries from a street store, found Room 303 in Building 3, stood up straight, and knocked on the door.
Soon, a female voice came from the door.
"Who?"
The door opened, and a woman with ear-length curly hair and jeans appeared. She had small eyes and a big mouth, and looked very aggressive.
Qiao Xi quickly handed over the cake, bent down, and said politely: "Hello, may I ask, has my father been to your house? My father's name is Qiao Huaizheng, and he is the head of Qiaojia Village."
The woman raised her slender eyebrows: "Are you here to see Qiao Huaizheng too?"
"Also?" Qiao Xi's eyes lit up: "Has my eldest brother been here?"
The woman nodded: "I've been here yesterday. She said your father didn't come home on time. What's going on? Your father hasn't come home yet? Come in, come in and let's sit down and talk."
…
Qin Jiashu happily arrived at the town carrying a basket of astragalus and washed big peaches.
These days, he has become familiar with the guys who collect medicinal materials in the health center. Now he can sell medicinal materials without going through Qiao Xi.
He did this because he didn't want to disturb Qiao Xi's work.
After selling the medicinal materials, he counted the time and waited for people in the hospital to take lunch breaks one after another before he asked someone to go to the pharmacy to call Qiao Xi.
He made another fortune today, and he wanted to treat Josie to some meat.
A few minutes later, Qu Haitang ran out.
"Josie's not here, she's gone to town."
After Qu Haitang explained the matter in general, Qin Jiashu's brows knitted into a knot, with a serious and worried look on his face.
"She went to the city. Did she say where she went?" he asked.
Qu Haitang shook his head: "I don't know."
"Thank you." Qin Jiashu said nothing more and turned to leave. Qu Haitang quickly called out: "Are you going to find her?"
"Um."
"It's inconvenient for you to carry the backpack, so please put it here with me first," Qu Haitang said.
Qin Jiashu thought this suggestion was very reasonable, so he took off his backpack and handed it over, then strode away.
Qu Haitang held the basket on his back, looked at Qin Jiashu's back, and sighed quietly: "You are quite manly."
Wang Meimei, who was walking over, heard this and couldn't help but stepped forward: "Begonia, that's Qiao Xi's partner, right? She's tall and big, and she matches Qiao Xi quite well."
"Yes, I also think that the delicate Qiao Xi deserves such a brave and mighty man." Qu Haitang was inexplicably proud.
Behind the two of them, Zhao Hongmei's eyes were cold and the corners of her mouth were biting tightly.
Because of Josie, she is now a marginalized person in the hospital. The nurses who used to have a good relationship with her now avoid her.
Not only that, the incident in the courtyard somehow reached the ears of the blind date, and the arranged marriage suddenly fell through.
She lost her marriage, and her salary was deducted for another three months. She was scolded by her parents at home, and she was not allowed to eat dinner.
It can be said that she lost both face and dignity. From the courtyard to the home, she was taught lessons everywhere.
She gritted her teeth in hatred. If Qiao Xi hadn't been so thoughtful and dug a hole for her to jump into, how could she have ended up like this?
Obviously, she had everything going smoothly in the past.
It's all Josie's fault.
She must let Josie get retribution!
…
After listening to the woman's words, Qiao Xi fell into deep thought for a moment.
The woman is Teacher Yu's wife, named Chi Li, who works in a chemical raw material factory. When Teacher Yu's sister went to the countryside, she received help from Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, so they have some friendship.
Father Qiao came here on Sunday evening. He inquired about Qin Yuanshan and left without having dinner. He has not been seen since.
Qiao Dong, after learning about the situation from Chi Li yesterday, said he would go out and look for it first, and if he couldn't find it, he would call the police.
"My eldest brother, did he say which police station to call the police?" Qiao Xi asked.
Chi Li shook her head.
Josie bit her lip, her mind spinning rapidly.
At this moment, she was not thinking with her own thinking, but with Father Qiao's thinking.
Suddenly, she had an idea: "Does my dad know where Qin Yuanshan lives?"
Chi Li: "Do you think your dad might have gone to find Qin Yuanshan?"
Josie: "Yeah."
Father Qiao came to the city mainly to find out Qin Yuanshan's current attitude towards Qin Jiashu. If he could find Qin Yuanshan, he would naturally look for him.
Chi Li held her chin: "Well, because we don't know much about Qin Yuanshan, I only remember telling him that Qin Yuanshan's company is called Yuanshan Co., Ltd., which is in the east of the city."
"I understand." Qiao Xi stood up, "Sister Chi, thank you."
Chi Li was worried: "You are a little girl, don't run around by yourself, go to the police station and then go home. Your dad is an adult and will not get lost easily."
Josie: "I understand."
After thanking her again and again, Qiao Xi left the family home.
She walked along the street, looking for someone to inquire about the nearby police station. After asking, she went in to inquire about the whereabouts of Qiao Dong and Qiao's father.
I kept asking like this for nearly five hours, checking all the police stations in the city, but there was no news about the two of them.
However, she was asked about the address of Yuanshan Co., Ltd.
Qiao Xi entered a noodle shop and ate something casually. Not daring to waste time, he hurried to Yuanshan Co., Ltd.
In order to take a shortcut, she walked into an alley.
However, just as he was leaving the alley, he was stopped by four or five gangsters wearing bell bottoms and long hair.
"Girl, why are you so anxious?"
