I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters
Chapter 223 Gray Industry, Targeted
Qiao Linxi wanted to refuse, but then she thought of Qiao Linqin and the others. Although she was not a child of the Qiao family, she was. Those children would come to the capital one day, and she couldn't block their way just because she didn't like them.
"Then... my granddaughter will be back sooner."
As long as you are alive, you have to socialize, even if you are socially anxious.
The system gave her a life-saving pill, and according to the nature of the system, it would most likely need to be used today, either by her or someone else. Otherwise, there would be no expiration date.
Qiao Linxi left the Qiao Mansion with two maids. They had come in a hurry before and had not had a good look at the capital city. Now they realized that the capital city was so prosperous and worthy of being the emperor's city.
The streets were busy but not noisy. The vendors on both sides of the street did not shout loudly, and when customers came, they talked quietly.
Qiao Linxi walked slowly on the street, feeling the prosperity of the metropolis, and also investigating what kind of business he could do if he settled in the capital.
Little did she know that she had already fallen into the sight of others.
"Girl, is this your first time in the capital?"
Just as Qiao Linxi was about to buy a bun to fill her stomach, she was stopped by a handsome young man with a gentle smile.
The man was holding a white folding fan in his hand, waving it slowly. In Qiao Linxi's eyes, there was only one word left: The man is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
"Master Host, this Shi Yiqian seems to be in the gray industry. There is a cloud of gray mist behind him."
A small chirping sound rang in Qiao Linxi's mind, with a hint of joy.
Gray industry? What gray industry? Trafficking in women and children?
"Host, whether you want to be a bait or not, you will know what Shi Yiqian does."
Qiao Linxi refused decisively, as she thought she didn't have the ability to go undercover and catch all the evil forces in one fell swoop.
"Master Host, please consider this. If this is accomplished, it will be a great achievement and you can earn a lot of gratitude points."
Qiao Linxi: That’s not necessary. I already have enough gratitude.
Qiao Linxi has opened so many stores, and the gratitude points are collected from the stores continuously. Her current gratitude points have exceeded seven digits.
"How can we have enough gratitude points? Master Host needs to think about the future. If we encounter extreme weather conditions, gratitude points are the only hope for survival."
Qiao Linxi: I don’t have the ability to be a hero.
"Don't we still have Little Jiujiu? Little Jiujiu will help you!"
Qiao Linxi: I don’t want to get involved in these things.
"Master Host, some things are unavoidable."
Qiao Linxi: ...
Is the system trying to pin Shi Yiqian's incident on her?
Seeing that Qiao Linxi ignored him, Shi Yiqian was not annoyed. He gently waved his folding fan and said, "Miss, my name is Shi Yiqian. I was born and raised in Beijing. My ancestors were all from Beijing. There is nothing I don't know in Beijing. The steamed buns in this shop, the preserved vegetable and lean meat buns are the best. The greasiness of the pork belly is neutralized by the preserved vegetables, and the sour and spicy taste is accompanied by a unique sweetness. You will definitely be addicted once you try it."
After saying that, Shi Yiqian took out a bun and handed it to Qiao Linxi, motioning her to try it.
But Qiao Linxi did not answer it, his eyes full of vigilance.
"Hey, Mr. Shi..."
The bun shop owner obviously knew Shi Yiqian and greeted him in a friendly manner.
Seeing the vigilance in Qiao Linxi's eyes, Shi Yiqian smiled slightly, put the bun in his mouth and started eating.
Qiao Linxi also gave up the idea of buying buns and continued walking forward.
I just don't know if Shi Yiqian is attached to her. No matter which store Qiao Linxi goes to, he can always tell her something. Even when she goes to look at the rouge and powder used by women, Shi Yiqian can get in on the conversation.
This made Qiao Linxi relax his vigilance a little.
This scene was seen by several people not far away, and there was a hint of anxiety on their faces.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Jiang Yi looked at the other people anxiously.
Jiang Yi originally came to the capital with his wife to do some small business, but who knew that his wife disappeared just a few days after they arrived in the capital. He searched for her for many days and couldn't find her, so he reported it to the authorities.
In recent years, many people have reported to the authorities that a woman in their family has gone missing, either their wife or daughter. But the authorities have searched everywhere but have not found the person.
Jiang Yi reported the matter to the authorities, who only did a perfunctory investigation and then told Jiang Yi that they could not find his wife and that was the end of the matter.
How could Jiang Yi accept this? That was his wife, and now her whereabouts were unknown. How could he let it go?
Jiang Yi used a lot of connections to get the government to send a few people to him to let him search for the case himself.
Coincidentally, the officials assigned to Jiang Yi by the government also had distant relatives who came to the capital but disappeared. Both men and women.
This made the officers assigned to Jiang Yi do their best to investigate the missing persons case.
The people who had disappeared before were all ordinary people. The government just made a symbolic search and then just let it go.
It was not until Jiang Yi showed up that the officers started to investigate carefully. After checking the statements of many people who reported the case, they were surprised to find that the missing people were all from other places and were not very old. Moreover, they all had one thing in common: they had good looks.
Several people searched the street for a long time and finally set their sights on Shi Yiqian, this elegant young man.
I don’t know if Shi Yiqian has noticed anything. I haven’t seen any abnormal behavior from him for many days.
Jiang Yi originally wanted to arrest Shi Yiqian and torture him, and he would definitely be able to get something out of him. But the other officers disagreed, saying that if they did not catch Shi Yiqian, it would only alert the enemy, and not only would they not be able to find the missing people, but they might also lose their lives.
It’s not that they haven’t thought about finding a bait, but there are not many people in the capital that they are familiar with and who are capable of protecting them, not to mention those who are good-looking.
They just kept their eyes on Shi Yiqian, waiting to see when he would make another move, hoping to catch him in the act.
Just this morning, they saw a beautiful woman appear on the street, and they instantly became excited.
Whenever there are young women from other places on the street, Shi Yiqian will definitely appear.
Sure enough, not long after they saw the woman, Shi Yiqian appeared.
But this time, Shi Yiqian seemed to treat the woman differently. He accompanied her shopping and acted as her tour guide.
"Don't worry, maybe that woman is also someone else's bait."
Several officers held back Jiang Yi who was about to rush forward, preventing him from acting rashly.
"Master Host, don't you want revenge?"
Here, the system was also brainwashing Qiao Linxi, as if it was forcing her to act as an undercover agent to rescue those innocent women who had been abducted.
