Chapter 875: Chapter 880: Little Devil Su Qiaoqiao (Part 2)
After Lin Xi asked about the situation, he couldnât help but chuckle sympathetically for Shi Bao.
The first time he met Su Qiaoqiao, she displayed all sorts of mischievous traits, leaving Shi Bao and others far behind, and if it werenât for him, Shi Bao definitely wouldnât be able to catch up.
Unexpectedly, even in the countryside, she maintained the same attitude.
It seems that changing her personality is very difficult, or maybe itâs just her nature, so why try to change it?
Besides, she hasnât done anything truly harmful or unjust.
Still, protecting Su Qiaoqiao during this time has been quite the headache for Shi Bao.
Itâs even fair to say that he would rather face life-and-death situations than be startled by her antics.
If he werenât in his forties, with quite a bit of experience and a strong heart, he wouldâve been unable to handle it long ago.
Similarly, those few subordinates who initially protected Su Qiaoqiao couldnât handle the pressure.
Originally, he wanted to send a few more people, but during that time, the situation in Chuzhou City was very unstable, so the boss directly sent him over.
Ever since he arrived, he has followed Su Qiaoqiao around almost everywhere, except when sleeping and in the bathroom.
This likely caused Su Qiaoqiaoâs resentment, leading her to play hide-and-seek and go missing with him.
However, each time, he didnât take long to find her again.
After all, the village isnât big, and other villages are at least ten kilometers away.
Therefore, even if Su Qiaoqiao wanted to run far, it wouldnât be easy.
Moreover, she isnât completely clueless and knows her father sent her here for a reason.
"Have you searched everywhere?" Lin Xi asked Shi Bao for confirmation.
Shi Bao nodded, "Iâve just searched every corner of the village!"
"If she were here, I wouldnât miss it!"
"But what if sheâs hiding in the villagersâ homes?" Master Li suddenly interjected, believing that in such a short time, Shi Bao wouldnât have been able to search all the villagersâ homes.
Besides, if you search one house and move to another, people might hide in the previously searched house again, right?
If thatâs the case, then sheâd definitely be hard to find.
Shi Bao shook his head, "At this time, many villagers havenât woken up yet!"
"And although Qiaoqiao frequently causes trouble, she wouldnât hide in a villagerâs house!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi furrowed his brow, as if he had already guessed where the little troublemaker had gone.
However, for precautionâs sake, he still said to Shi Bao, "Go find the village chief and let him announce on the broadcast to see if Qiaoqiao is hiding somewhere."
"Many hands make light work; perhaps someone will find her!"
Shi Bao thought Lin Xiâs suggestion was great.
In the next moment, he took Lin Xi and went directly to the village chiefâs house.
The village chief was a middle-aged man with a very upright-looking face.
After Shi Bao explained his purpose, the chief didnât hesitate and immediately broadcasted the message.
Instantly, the entire village echoed with the message of the search, also mentioning that Lin Xi had arrived, so if Su Qiaoqiao was still hiding, there was no need anymore, and she could head back to Chuzhou City right then.
Shi Bao knew that Su Qiaoqiao had long wanted to return, but Su Xiong wouldnât allow it.
However, five minutes after the broadcast, no villagers came forward saying Qiaoqiao was with them, and there was no sign of Su Qiaoqiao rushing toward them.
"Letâs go!" Lin Xi said at this moment.
Shi Bao was taken aback, "Arenât we going to keep looking, Mr. Lin?"
Since he had no idea now, and if she was still in the village, then after they left, sheâd likely become easy prey for those people.
She might even be in real danger.
After all, those people could attack on the street; theyâre definitely a band of thugs.
Lin Xi assured him, "No need to search further; sheâs not in the village!"
By now, Su Qiaoqiao had no reason to play hide-and-seek.
Plus, he didnât smell a hint of Su Qiaoqiaoâs scent, as if it vanished right above the road.
And that spot was a vacant house.
Inside the house, there were many scattered motorcycles.
Not long after, one of the villagers, just woken up, found his newly bought motorcycle missing!
Upon hearing this news, the three of them were somewhat convinced and said, "She must have returned to Chuzhou City."
Without a momentâs delay, Shi Bao tossed about the cost of a motorcycle, and they quickly headed back the way they came.
Lin Xi was still in Master Liâs car, while Shi Bao drove his own car.
"Letâs hope that those people find her after she reaches there!"
Otherwise, it would be incredibly dangerous.
Yet considering Su Qiaoqiaoâs tiny frame, and the fact sheâs only fifteen or sixteen, already riding a fueled motorcycle through bumpy and winding mountain roads.
This little troublemaker really doesnât let anyone rest easy.
The two vehicles had driven for about ten minutes when they spotted a young girl ahead, sitting on the grass with a sulky face.
This girl wasnât very old and was angrily staring at a new motorcycle in front of her thatâs continuously smoking.
Except for her face being a bit dirty, she wasnât hurt anywhere else.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xi couldnât help but almost burst out laughing.
As for Master Li, his face showed a strange expression, while Shi Bao immediately ran over and exclaimed, "Miss!"
Su Qiaoqiao gave Shi Bao an angry glare, ready to scold him, when she noticed two additional men in the front.
She generally held a low opinion of men.
But upon seeing one of the men, she froze.
After a good while, she abruptly passed Shi Bao and seemed to be darting toward Lin Xi as quickly as possible.
However, it appeared she lunged too early.
And lacking any notable strength, upon advancing more than two meters, she was still three meters away from Lin Xi.
Thus, she was about to land on the ground.
If she fell, itâd be quite painful.
But in that instant, without Su Qiaoqiao realizing it, Lin Xi indeed appeared at the spot she was aiming for and caught her effortlessly.
Given the circumstances, she didnât seem to realize at all.
At this moment, she acted like a child, nestling into Lin Xiâs chest, crying as if wronged.
Only much later did she stop weeping, and without any awareness on Lin Xiâs part, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and took a fierce bite of Lin Xi, immediately getting off him afterward.
Lin Xi gasped in surprise, bewildered, asking, "Little girl, why did you bite me?"
Though Su Qiaoqiao wasnât much younger than Lin Xi, she was just one meter fifty-five tall compared to Lin Xiâs stature of one meter eighty.
"Do I need a reason to bite you?" she retorted confidently.
"Besides, itâs been ages before you came looking for me; did you already forget me, Su Qiaoqiao?"
Lin Xi shook his head, thinking about her mischievousness; sheâs really someone you try to forget but canât.
As for Shi Bao, witnessing this scene, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Only now did he understand that the Miss could indeed interact with men this way.
Before today, such a scene involving the Miss would have been unimaginable.
