God of Racing

The girl listened, looking puzzled.

After a while, she said, "But, can your dad really find us? This place is very remote... In a radius of ten miles, only my dad is a well-educated man. We don’t even have a teacher here."

"..." Lu Qingming was stunned for a moment; he couldn’t understand her words. Is there still such a place in this world?

The girl came over with a small dining table. "You didn’t throw up earlier. Have some porridge! Millet porridge is very soothing for the stomach."

"...Okay." Lu Qingming tried to prop himself up on his elbows but had no strength. With a thud, he fell back onto the bed.

"Hehe." The girl laughed, "You don’t have any strength. Let me feed you!"

Lu Qingming’s face turned red, "I was bullied! That’s why I’m like this. I’m really strong otherwise!"

"Hmm." The girl nodded with a smile, "I know. Here, open your mouth..."

"Ah!" Lu Qingming obediently opened his mouth.

He ate slowly, and the girl showed no impatience.

Lu Qingming chewed slowly, gazing at the girl. Although he was only six years old, he had encountered many ’beauties,’ most of whom were those girls chasing after him. But at this moment, Lu Qingming thought, this girl is really pretty!

"Sister."

Lu Qingming, having eaten his fill, licked his lips.

"Hmm?" The girl put away the dining table, "What’s up? Are you bored? I can read you a story!"

"Okay." Lu Qingming moved a little to the side. The girl climbed up, and they lay side by side.

Lu Qingming pointed to the storybook in her hand, "Didn’t you say there are no teachers here? But you can read?"

"Of course!" The girl said with a happy smile, "My dad taught me. He said that once I grow a bit older, he’ll send me out to study. Here, let me read to you..."

The girl knew quite a few words and could read the short story fluently.

Lu Qingming watched her and suddenly said, "Sister, can you help save me?"

"Huh?" The girl was startled, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Are you hurt somewhere?"

"No." Lu Qingming shook his head vigorously, "I mean, can you help me escape?"

"Huh?" The girl became even more frightened, "Where do you want to escape to?"

"Shh!" Lu Qingming quickly covered the girl’s mouth, "Keep your voice down! The two bad guys are still guarding outside! They’ll hit people!"

The girl widened her eyes and nodded vigorously, "Mmm mmm mmm..."

Lu Qingming asked in a low voice, "Does your family have a phone?"

A phone? The girl was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, we do."

"Really?" Lu Qingming was delighted, "Great, take me there quickly!"

He said and attempted to get up.

The girl quickly held him back, "No way! We have a phone, but it’s in the front... It’s for my dad’s work. If you use it, those two bad guys at the front will see! Can you?"

Lu Qingming widened his eyes. Of course not!

Then doesn’t that just defeat the purpose? What should I do?

Seeing Lu Qingming suddenly deflated, the girl held his hand, "Little brother, don’t be sad... Sister will figure something out for you. Tell me, who do you want to call?"

"Will you call for me?" Lu Qingming became excited, "I remember my dad and mom’s numbers. You can call either one, they are both smart enough to find me!"

"Who should I call?"

Lu Qingming urged, "Give me paper and a pen, I’ll write it down for you!"

"Okay."

The girl fetched paper and pen, and Lu Qingming quickly scribbled on the paper. After finishing, he reminded the girl, "Memorize them... And call the first one first! The first is my dad’s number. My mom is pregnant, she shouldn’t worry too much, and my dad is smarter!"

"Oh, okay."

The girl repeatedly recited the numbers written on the paper.

"Remembered them?"

"I’ve got it memorized. I’ll look for an opportunity... Don’t worry."

"Sister," Lu Qingming placed a hand on the girl’s shoulder, "Once I’m rescued, I’ll pay you back! Didn’t you want to go study outside? I’ll support you!"

A light sparkled in the girl’s eyes, filled with intense longing.

Leaving Ailao Mountain, leaving this wild land, how tempting is that for a young life just starting out!

"Hmm!" The girl nodded vigorously, "I will definitely help you!"

No news from Lu Qingming for a long time, even Lu Jinxuan couldn’t stay calm anymore.

He secretly interrogated others, but Yu Sangwan still found out.

"Jinxuan, Qin Shaoju knows, doesn’t he?" Yu Sangwan had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, her chin becoming sharper.

Lu Jinxuan’s eyes darkened with fatigue, "He refuses to speak..."

Yu Sangwan became anxious, "Didn’t you say you had a way? That you’d certainly find him?"

"Taotao," Lu Jinxuan frowned deeply, "I know you’re worried, I..."

As a husband and father, he had no reason to make excuses for himself.

Yu Sangwan took a deep breath, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you, I’m just anxious... No news for so long, I’m worried something might have happened to Qingming!"

"Taotao!" Lu Jinxuan consoled his wife, "No! Qin Shaoju is still holding onto Qingming, trying to make a last out-of-desperation move. So, I’m certain that Qingming is alright! Think about it calmly, isn’t it so?"

Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, nodded, "Yes, yes, I was confused. I’ll listen to you..."

"Taotao, take care of your health, you’re quite far along now."

Lu Jinxuan, worried about his wife, glanced back.

Gong Xueyan immediately came forward to support Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan, go back and rest!"

"Hmm."

Gong Xueyan stayed with Yu Sangwan, watching her worried face.

They both knew, in this vast world, if someone truly wants to hide, it’s really difficult to find them!

At present, only Qin Shaoju could reveal Lu Qingming’s whereabouts.

After Yu Sangwan rested, Gong Xueyan stepped outside.

At the door, Ou Guanshen was already waiting for her.

"Miss Gong."

Gong Xueyan nodded with a smile, having already guessed the situation.

She wasn’t Yu Sangwan, she used to be quite calculative herself... Although she had changed, her intuition was still sharp.

"Let’s go!"

There was a hint of admiration in Ou Guanshen’s eyes, "Miss Gong is so perceptive. It’s a pity."

Gong Xueyan chuckled lightly, "I’ll take that as a compliment."

"Please, the President is waiting."

"Alright."

...

The door opened, Gong Xueyan sat down, and Lu Jinxuan personally poured her a cup of tea.

"Please."

Gong Xueyan choked up, forcing a smile, "Thank you, Mr. President."

Lu Jinxuan smiled, "You look so composed. Do you know why I’m looking for you?"

"Yes," Gong Xueyan nodded, "Madam is anxious, and as a mother who loves her child dearly, I understand these feelings... Mr. President cherishes his wife and children, which is certainly understandable. I’ve witnessed your journey these seven years, and I admit defeat... Wholeheartedly."

She held the cup, raised her head, and drank it in one go.

"Mr. President, please tell me what you want me to do."

Lu Jinxuan paused for a moment, then said flatly, "You are the only one who still has reason to resent me. Qin Shaoju might not believe someone in normal times, but now... he is vulnerable, and I need someone to exploit that vulnerability and push him to collapse!"
