Chapter 18
Chapter 18
At the same time, in Lin Bai’s old home district.
A few black cars slowly stopped outside the gate.
More than a dozen men in martial arts dojo uniforms got out of the car one after another and ran into the community.
In the end, a mature woman walked down from the first car.
Even at night, her black body skin clothes could not hide her impressive figure, which was extraordinary.
She looked a little tired, and she raised her hand to rub the space between her eyebrows with her fingertips as if to relieve her sleepiness.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
The woman was still yawning, and the light in her eyes had dimmed.
Just then, her phone vibrated slightly.
Her eyes widened, and she quickly took it out of her pocket.
It was a message.
[Assistant Dojo Master, he’s not here. He has already moved.]
She immediately replied: [Have you asked the neighbors?]
[I did, but… This is a little troublesome.]
“What’s going on?”
The woman frowned slightly. “We found his address, but we still can’t find him?”
She was greatly confused. She strode into the community and went to the place where most disciples were gathered.
When the disciples of the martial arts dojo saw her, they immediately gave way respectfully.
At the back of the crowd was the door of a house.
At this moment, the main door was wide open, and there was an elderly man beside it. One of his hands was trembling violently, and the other was holding a fan.
Behind them, there was an old lady lying on a rocking chair. She was munching on seeds while enjoying the breeze that her husband was fanning.
Seeing that there were so many people at the door, they were not nervous and were very pleased.
“Old man, do you know Lin Bai?”
The woman asked anxiously.
“Lin what?” The old lady seemed to not have good hearing and asked back.
“Lin. Bai.”
The woman raised her voice, and in order for the other party to hear her clearly, she even paused for a moment.
“What Bai?”
The old lady asked again, still looking puzzled.
“Lin! Bai!”
The woman shouted as loudly as she could in a way where she would not seem rash.
“Lin… Bai?” The old lady looked even more confused.
“…”
The woman was at a loss for words.
She had no choice but to take out her phone and zoom in on Lin Bai’s face from the surveillance camera before showing it to the old lady.
“This young man!”
The woman felt that this should be clear enough.
In the end, the old lady rubbed her eyes for a long time, squinting and looking.
After keeping them in suspense for more than a minute, she suddenly said, “I can’t see clearly!”
“Ah…”
The woman muttered, not knowing what to do.
“I can’t see clearly!” The old lady repeated and raised her voice as well. After she finished, she mumbled, “Why is a young lady like you having hearing problems like me? ”
“…”
The woman pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She looked at the disciple beside her. “Have you asked the other neighbors? ”
“I asked… They all said they don’t know, so this is the only person left. I heard that this couple used to be gatekeepers, so they must be very familiar with the people in the community.”
The woman sighed. “Do you have a clearer picture? ”
“I’ll go and get it right away!”
The disciple did not hesitate. After a short while, he produced a clear photo of Lin Bai’s face and sent it to the woman.
The woman showed the photo again. She did not have much hope and could only hope that this old lady in front of her, who was not only deaf but also had bad eyesight, would recognize Lin Bai.
Time passed by slowly…
Finally, after an unknown number of breaths…
The old lady finally looked like she understood. She pointed at the photo and shouted, “Oh! Lin Bai! You’re looking for this kid?”
“That’s right!” As if she had found a life-saving straw, the woman hurriedly asked, “Do you know where he moved to? ”
“Huh?”
The old lady did not seem to have heard her clearly.
The woman had to slow down and repeat herself.
She had never felt so patient before.
However, the old lady fell into a state of confusion again.
Fortunately, she did not seem confused anymore. Instead, she muttered to herself as if she was recalling something.
“A small district in the east of the city? Or the school district in the west of the city? No, no, I remember that Baibai had bought a piece of land… Could it be the suburban countryside? Ah, I’m getting old, I’m getting old… I can’t remember…”
The woman was already numb.
‘Great. Now, it’s not just a problem with your ears and eyes. Even your memory is bad!’
Even so, what the old lady said still contained a lot of valuable information.
For example, the small district in the east of the city, the school district in the west of the city… And the rural villages in the suburbs where farmland could be bought and sold!
The woman would just look one by one!
A problem that could be solved by spending energy was not a problem at all!
“Old lady, this is my name card. If you remember it, just give me a call. I’ll reward you handsomely.”
The woman handed over an exquisite card and left with the group of martial arts dojo disciples without further delay.
The elderly man beside the door stretched his neck to take a look. After making sure that the other party had gone far away, he stopped shaking his hand and closed the door directly.
“Hmph! Those people were very fierce! They’re definitely looking for trouble with Baibai!”
The elder cursed, “They brought so many people, and they’re wearing the uniform of a martial arts dojo, I’m afraid they’re those animals who are involved in swindling and cheating!”
The old lady was no longer deaf and nodded repeatedly. “That’s right! Baibai had just earned some money. He must be targeted by them! None of those people are good!”
The elder was so angry that he put his hands behind his back. “Baibai is such a filial child. He’s very good to us. We mustn’t harm him.”
“Don’t worry, old one. I did it on purpose just now. They wouldn’t have thought that Baibai lives just across the street.”
The old lady spat. “Rude and unreasonable people. They were even trying to use money to bribe me. Pfft! Let them search slowly!”
…
More than 10 minutes later.
On the undeveloped land in the school district in the west of the city.
The elegant woman, who was called the assistant dojo master, did not move at all. She let the wild wind blow at her.
A message appeared on the screen of her phone.
[There are no villages in the suburbs where you can buy and sell land.]
She looked up at the stars in the sky and felt lost.
“Am I just going to let it go like this?”
The old lady’s memory might be a mess, so she might not know Lin Bai’s exact address.
Even if she knew, she might not remember.
Under such circumstances, the lead had been cut off.
Unless…
The woman’s gaze gradually became determined.
There was still another way!
