Chapter 556 Your family is also my family
Lu Yuanqiu understood what he meant. He and Bai Qingxia claimed to be Zhang Li's friends, but they only knew her name, job title, and even her age and place of origin were relatively vague. They could provide very little useful information.

According to Bai Qingxia's description, Sister Li has never liked to talk about her own affairs with others, and Bai Qingxia herself has never been curious about such matters.

In this awkward situation, the words of the two of them were ultimately less impactful than those of Zhang Li's family.

So when the officer in uniform heard from Zhang Li's family that Zhang Li was fine, he was less willing to take on the "missing person case," since there are far too many people who report missing persons cases in daily life for various trivial matters.

However, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia still felt that something was wrong, especially Bai Qingxia. She couldn't prove how good her relationship with Zhang Li was, but based on their past interactions, she didn't believe that Zhang Li would cut off contact with her without saying a word.

Zhang Li is not that kind of person.

The man in uniform might have some personal opinions about Zhang Li's profession, but his guess wasn't unreasonable; Zhang Li was very likely hiding from debt collectors.

Considering that Zhang Li had previously asked Aunt Zhang to take Bai Songzhe to another place to live, the reason of "avoiding debt" can also be explained. Perhaps she didn't want the debt collectors to harm Bai Songzhe who lived next door.

But Lu Yuanqiu didn't understand one thing.

Even if Sister Li is really running away from debt, why would she hide from security cameras? What debt collectors would have the authority to access security cameras?
Of course, nothing is absolute. Sister Li looking at the camera at that time may have just been a subconscious expression of nervousness, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

So it's impossible to say for sure what exactly happened so far. The only thing we can do is find Sister Li first. She's more than just a neighbor to Bai Qingxia, and Lu Yuanqiu has long regarded her as a friend.

Even if Sister Li really decides to cut off all contact with Bai Qingxia, she still needs to find someone to ask her face-to-face to find out the reason. Otherwise, it will become a source of heartache for Bai Qingxia, since she doesn't have many friends or relatives.

After much deliberation, Lu Yuanqiu finally said, "Call your bureau chief over."

The uniformed man looked at him blankly, his face saying, "You think I'll just shout because you tell me to?"

In the end, Director Song shouted "Oh my!" and came running over eagerly.

Lu Yuanqiu, the director of the Baoyuan District Police Station, knew him. His surname was Song, and he was a bald, middle-aged man who was quite familiar with his third uncle.

It was because of him that Lu Yuanqiu was able to learn in the hospital ward that "Uncle in Overalls" was Bai Qingxia's father.

Despite this connection, Lu Yuanqiu didn't go to great lengths to bother Director Song. After all, the information Sister Li had conveyed so far didn't indicate that her personal safety was threatened. She was just hiding from someone, and it was unclear who she was hiding from, but she had included Bai Qingxia in the hiding.

Under these circumstances, Lu Yuanqiu was reluctant to trouble his third uncle. His third uncle had a sensitive identity and was usually very busy. Lu Yuanqiu would only ask his third uncle for help when he encountered something that he couldn't handle properly.

With Director Song's intervention, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia obtained Sister Li's hometown address. With the idea of ​​finding her first, the two officially boarded the high-speed train to Qishan City at 2 pm.

"Ask Sister Li's family what's going on, and if we have time, we can go to Huangshan for a trip to make up for not being able to see the giant pandas." Lu Yuanqiu put his suitcase on top of his head, sat down, and said to Bai Qingxia with a smile.

Bai Qingxia didn't say anything, but held the little white bag in her arms and stared at him apologetically. Just looking at her eyes was enough to melt anyone's heart.

Lu Yuanqiu clicked his tongue, frowned, and ruffled Bai Qingxia's hair: "What kind of look is that? Do you think I'm bothering you again?"

Bai Qingxia didn't respond, and lowered her head slightly.

Lu Yuanqiu sat closer to her and comforted her, "Sister Li is also my friend. She cut off contact without saying a word. I also want to find her and ask her what happened. I just remembered that I still owe her a set of cosmetics. I have to make it up to her." After saying that, Lu Yuanqiu opened a bag of potato chips. The two of them had prepared a lot of snacks for the trip. Now they could only treat the current journey as a trip.

He held the first potato chip to Bai Qingxia's lips, but just as Bai Qingxia was about to open her mouth, Lu Yuanqiu pulled his hand back and said, "Don't just look at me, say something."

Bai Qingxia nodded: "I understand."

"what do you know?"

Bai Qingxia looked at him and said, "My friend is your friend."

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and stuffed potato chips into her mouth, adding, "Not only that, your family is also my family."

Bai Qingxia chewed on potato chips and smiled. Most importantly, she felt a little better and quickly said, "We're the same."

"The same? Then Tan Le, do you want to be friends?" Lu Yuanqiu glanced at her sideways.

Bai Qingxia was speechless when she thought of that guy who kept farting. After hesitating for several seconds, she finally shook her head, following her heart.

Lu Yuanqiu laughed out loud.

“That’s not fair. You have so many relatives and friends, while I have so few,” the girl retorted.

"Good good."

Seeing that her expression was beginning to soften, Lu Yuanqiu pointed to the small table in front of him: "You haven't helped me put the table down in a long time."

Bai Qingxia thought for a moment, glanced at Lu Yuanqiu, who was leaning back as if letting her do whatever she wanted. Bai Qingxia finally reached out, turned the knob, and put down Lu Yuanqiu's folding table. Then she looked at herself and put down her own folding table as well.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled.

Although Bai Qingxia forced herself to grow up for a period of time and stopped doing some things that she considered "childish," Lu Yuanqiu did not want to see Bai Qingxia forcing herself to grow up. He only wanted to see Bai Qingxia deal with life in the most natural way.

Around 4 p.m., the two got off the train at Qishan City High-speed Railway Station. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the address written in his phone notes and muttered, "It will probably be dark by the time we get to the county. We definitely won't be able to go to Sister Li's village tonight. Let's find a hotel in the county to stay for the night."

Bai Qingxia nodded. This was the second time she had come to an unfamiliar city, apart from going to Zhucheng. She relied entirely on Lu Yuanqiu to make decisions. On the way to hail a taxi, she held Lu Yuanqiu's hand the whole time, afraid of being separated from him by the crowd.

During the May Day holiday, there were so many people visiting Huangshan, all kinds of people, and the area near the station was packed with people.

"This county is a bit remote, the journey is quite long." As we got into the taxi, the driver in front of us replied in a thick Mongolian accent.

Mexico is one of the provinces with the greatest north-south differences, with a total of five dialects. Lu Yuanqiu is not a native of Lucheng; his household registration is in a rural area of ​​northern Mexico. However, he grew up in Lucheng. Bai Qingxia is actually registered in Lucheng, but both of them have spoken Mandarin since childhood.

So when they heard the driver speaking the Mongolian dialect, both of them leaned out of the back seat, paused for a moment, and it took them quite a while to understand.
