Chapter 76

Speaking of this, Wu Tai sighed, “It was at the port of Yun City that she lost during the refugee wave. We searched the entire Yun City… This time, my purpose is twofold: one, to invest and help build my motherland; two, to find my cousin…”

At last, Wu Tai added, “My cousin’s name is Wu Qianyun.”

Mr. Xu spoke gravely, “It’s been too long, but I’ll have my secretary handle this matter. Don’t worry, if she’s in West River, we will definitely find her.”

This was an unspoken quid pro quo, readily accepted by Mr. Xu, and even if there had been no conditions, he should help a person returning from thousands of miles away to find their long-lost relative.

Back in his room, Wu Tai called his little uncle in M Country.

He first reported his itinerary, then mentioned that he had visited five cities and entrusted the local governments to search for his long-lost cousin.”

This was an overseas call, specially set up by Mr. Xu for Wu Tai.

The communication line was poor, hissing and crackling, it took a while before a voice came through from the other side.

The voice was somewhat weak.

“Tai, I don’t know how much longer I will live, but I must know the whereabouts of my daughter before I die, whether alive or dead. Otherwise, when I’m gone, I won’t have the face to meet your little aunt.”

“Little uncle, don’t be anxious or agitated. Huaxia is gradually opening up. I’m sure your cousin is safe; I’ll stay here longer, and you should take good care of your health.”

As Wu Tai said this, he remembered the support his little uncle had given him and was moved.

There were a few coughs from the other end, followed by a moment of silence.

Wu Tai gripped the phone tightly.

He felt anxious and tense, mixed with emotions hard to articulate.

There were a few voices from the other end of the phone, then the call was disconnected. Wu Tai let out a long sigh and stood by the window, watching the myriad lights outside. These so-called myriad lights were still far inferior to the neon in M Country.

He had left Huaxia at ten and lived there for a full ten years. It was impossible not to have any memories, but they weren’t deep, especially in West River, a land he had never set foot in.

The Wulong Group was founded by his little uncle.

Initially, their family had moved to M Country smoothly, having already bought properties and lands. A year prior, the Wu Family’s patriarch had planned to move to M Country.

At that time, warlords were battling everywhere. He predicted that the next ten years would not be peaceful. Who knew what the future held?

So, they sold all their assets and properties in Huaxia.

It was a do-or-die move, but within a year, they were bankrupted by two local consortia, losing all properties and lands.

Later, his little uncle reversed the struggles, started from scratch, and founded the Wulong Group within ten years.

He even acquired the consortia that had driven the Wu Family into bankruptcy.

According to the inheritance law, the sole heir of the Wulong Group was his little uncle’s only daughter, Wu Qianyun.

Over the years, his little uncle had never changed his will.

That is, if his little uncle passed away, his team of lawyers would continue to search for Wu Qianyun until they got accurate information.

Additionally, there was a clause stating that if Wu Qianyun had passed away, her properties would be sequentially inherited by her children.

If there were still no heirs, then he would donate the entire Wulong Group.

This was his little uncle’s way of preventing them from not trying their best to find his cousin or harming her out of self-interest if they did find her.

If the cousin was alive, if she had settled down and had children, inheriting all the properties, then his little uncle would distribute his three financial companies among his nephews and nieces.

So, everyone was making their utmost efforts to find her.

No one dared to harbor any bad intentions.

But there had been no news at all.

With this thought, Wu Tai let out a long sigh.

We must search for her, but we don’t know if Wu Qianyun is dead or alive.

Wu Tai’s gaze darkened, and he then walked away from the window with heavy steps.

He sat on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.

…

Qiao Qingyu didn’t understand why, ever since she returned from Shangpo Village, He Xuerong started to cling to her.

Or, rather, depend on her.

Could it be because she took her into the space?

So, Qiao Qingyu felt quite troubled.

It’s said to be concern, but there indeed was some, yet there had been no choice at the time; she certainly couldn’t have knocked He Xuerong out, and with the situation so urgent then, the chaos outside with blazing fires and turmoil, she really didn’t have time to consider He Xuerong’s reactions.

But they had only stayed in the space for a few minutes, could this autistic child remember what happened in the space?

Qiao Qingyu wasn’t sure anymore.

But she really didn’t have time.

Today, she still had to visit her land.

He Xiuyu felt helpless too, he truly didn’t want to trouble Qiao Qingyu to take care of Rongrong.

Although the two of them were husband and wife, He Xuerong wasn’t Qiao Qingyu’s responsibility.

Moreover, the pediatric doctors at the base hospital had already devised a plan, and they were going to start treating Rongrong tomorrow.

Moreover, Xiao Wu finally confessed that those two packets of matches were specially made, given to him by Mr. Wang, who was from the base’s chemical laboratory, and this Mr. Wang was Lu Guilian’s husband.

They both weren’t from West River People; they were recruited during the initial preparations of Tenghai Research Base.

At that time due to a shortage of talent, they only filled in immediate family members during the political review, which meant parents and spouse.

Mr. Wang had also been arrested, while Lu Guilian had committed suicide by poisoning.

Yu Jing, the head of the general financial office, has also been suspended to undergo an investigation.

But for Yu Jing, it was just procedural.

Because big sister Yu Jing is a descendant of a martyr.

Her parents had sacrificed their lives when she was only three years old.

She was raised by her parents’ comrades.

She was genuinely of distinguished roots.

But nevertheless, the necessary procedures had to be followed.

So these days, the base was facing unprecedented tension and busyness; He Xiuyu really didn’t have much time to dwell on He Xuerong, as he had already arranged everything concerning the kindergarten and the hospital, and they were moving to a new house in a few days, which would be more convenient.

And these days, Qiao Qingyu also needed to pack things, indeed having no time to take care of the child.

But what could be done?

One early morning after finishing breakfast, He Xuerong did nothing but follow behind Qiao Qingyu.

She stretched out her little hand and firmly grabbed Qiao Qingyu’s coat.

At such moments, He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu both realized that, for some unknown reason, He Xuerong had become especially attached to Qiao Qingyu.

He Xiuyu looked at Qiao Qingyu with a helpless expression in his eyes.

Qiao Qingyu, however, didn’t look at He Xiuyu, she wanted to test something.

She looked down at He Xuerong, who was looking up at her; her voice was not gentle, it even carried a bit of a threat, “He Xuerong, if you let go, I will take you to the commune.”

After these words, the room suddenly became quiet.
