Chapter 137 Danyang City Seeks Help
"Sister, I'd like to see the prices of villas."
Didn't your family come?
"I'll come first, and my family will come in a few days."
The staff member assumed she was a rich young lady and immediately smiled, "Okay, let me introduce you."
After the introduction, Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction. The house was really nice, but a bit expensive.
She always remembered the look of amazement and envy in her grandparents' eyes when they first entered Fu Wenyuan's house, and she decided then and there that she must buy a set for her family in the future.
I just don't know if I have enough money in my account. I've been making money all this time, but I've never actually calculated how much I've earned in total. I'll ask my dad to check when I get back.
As Lin Xi walked out of the property building, the staff greeted her with smiles and said goodbye.
Property manager He Zhicheng passed by, somewhat surprised, then smiled and nodded at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi smiled back. She was used to this kind of thing. After appearing on TV, she often had strangers greet her.
"Xiaoling, what was that little girl about?"
"Manager, she wants to buy a villa. Let's take a look at the prices first."
"Oh, was Old Master Fu mentioned?"
"No."
……
Lin Xi boarded the bus, while Yan Feng, Zhao Yang, and his tagalong Wu Zheng got off.
Zhao Yang stood in front of the Lin family's gate: "Boss, I'm a little scared."
Even Yan Feng, who is known for his stubbornness and nicknamed "madman," hesitated, saying, "This is a case from the Danyang police station; it has nothing to do with us."
Wu Zheng nodded, "Yes, we're just passing on a message."
Once inside, the three immediately changed their expressions, their smiles becoming incredibly bright. "Aunt Lin, have you eaten yet?"
Lin Guiying felt a headache whenever she saw these people, because she knew it couldn't be anything good. "They haven't eaten yet."
Then he looked at Yan Feng, who was grinning, and said, "Xiao Feng, if you can't smile, then don't smile. It looks worse than crying."
Yan Feng was a little embarrassed. "Ahem, ma'am, where's Xiao Xi?"
"She went to her master's house. What's wrong? Do you have another case?"
Upon hearing that Lin Xi wasn't home, Zhao Yang immediately said, "Auntie, let's talk about it when Xiao Xi comes back."
With her not around, how could I dare to open my mouth? If Aunt Lin heard this, she would definitely be angry, her mouth would be like a machine gun, and she would curse them to death.
With Xiao Xi around, at least she can act as a shield to protect them.
The three of them sat to the side, looking preoccupied. Lin Guiying ignored them and went to the kitchen to start cooking, naturally taking portions for all three of them as well.
The story is a long one. When Lin Xi went to Beijing to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad, a policewoman disguised as an old lady was mistaken by her for a human trafficker. Little did she know, she was wrong and almost got kidnapped.
After beating the real human traffickers black and blue, he vented his anger and left triumphantly.
This left a deep impression on the policewoman. Have you ever seen a little girl who, after being drugged, could still carry someone for two miles? Have you ever seen a little girl who could beat an adult so badly that they couldn't fight back?
There are so many coincidences in the world. The policewoman Yan Lingling happens to be Yan Feng's cousin, which is how she learned Lin Xi's name.
So, at the meeting a week ago, when everyone was frowning in worry, her eyes lit up, "Director, we can ask Lin Xi for help!"
"Lin Xi? Who is that?"
“I told you about the little girl who almost beat the human trafficker to death. My cousin works at the Danbei City Police Department and happens to know her.”
"We can do this... then that... and finally..."
After thinking for a while, Ma Zhaoqian, the director of the Danyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, felt it was feasible. The main reason was that the girl was not an ordinary person, and with the protection of the police, her personal safety would definitely not be a problem.
"Okay, then call your cousin now and ask him."
Upon hearing this, Yan Feng immediately refused, saying "No way!" and slammed the phone down.
"What's the relationship between Lin Xi and your cousin?"
Yan Lingling was also surprised by her cousin's strong reaction and looked completely bewildered. "I don't know, but we're definitely not related."
Seeing that Yan Feng was not cooperating, Ma Zhaoqian thought he should ask his superiors for help, so Niulanshan received a phone call.
"Yan Feng? Hahaha, yes, he's my ace!"
"Lin Xi? I know her!"
"What? No way! Find someone else!"
*Click* The phone rang. Ma Zhaoqian touched his nose. What happened? Who exactly is Lin Xi? Why is everyone so protective of her?
He just asked the child for a small favor, it wasn't like he was sending him to his death, why is he getting so worked up?
Now, Ma Zhaoqian not only wants Lin Xi's help, but also has developed a strong curiosity about her.
After the meeting, Ma Zhaoqian sat alone in his office, flipping through his phone book for a long time before finally finding someone and dialing the number immediately.
"Xiao Wang, I remember you worked at the Danbei City Public Security Bureau, right?"
"Do you know a girl named Lin Xi?"
"Oh? You come to the police station often? And have helped solve a lot of cases?"
After hanging up the phone, Ma Zhaoqian smiled knowingly. "Old classmate, you're so unrefined, covering yourself up so tightly."
If you can help me solve a case, why can't you help me solve one?
For the next week, Yan Lingling kept calling Yan Feng, trying to win over her cousin.
Ma Zhaoqian, the director of the Danyang Municipal Public Security Bureau, kept calling Niu Lanshan, the director of the Danbei Municipal Public Security Bureau, trying to win over his old classmate.
Why not go directly to Lin Xi?
He wasn't sure either. This person was a complete stranger to him; would they really risk their lives for him? Besides, their parents certainly wouldn't agree.
If you ask an old classmate to ask, the chances of them agreeing are much higher, out of consideration for personal relationships.
How could Niulanshan bear to part with it? What if something goes wrong? Who will predict the future for them? Who will cover for them?
Yan Feng was even less likely to do so. After spending so much time together, he treated Lin Xi like his own sister. How could he bear to let her put herself in danger?
Unfortunately, Ma Zhaoqian had given too much, and the number of victims had increased. Niulanshan couldn't bear it and finally relented, but made it clear that they were only passing on the message. Whether the young girl went or not was entirely up to her, and they would not try to persuade her.
That's why we have this situation today. Personally, Yan Feng didn't want Lin Xi to go, but as a fellow policeman, he could understand the pressure from Danyang City.
In just one year, hundreds of children were abducted and disappeared without a trace. What a shocking number that is...
As the sun was setting, Lin Xi arrived home. Upon entering the house, she saw the three of them sitting in a row, looking like well-behaved children.
She cut to the chase, "What's wrong? Is there a case you need my help with?"
Zhao Yang hesitated, then said, "Yes, there is... but it's not our case; it's a case from Danyang City."
Lin Guiying was setting the table when she casually asked, "What does that have to do with you?"
"They want to ask Xiaoxi for help."
Lin Guiying frowned. "How did they know Xiaoxi could solve the case? Didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Yan Feng's eyelids twitched. "This is my fault. Xiao Xi helped catch the human traffickers before, and the police officer who was there was my cousin, so... she learned Lin Xi's name..."
Lin Xi sighed inwardly, "Oh no, I've been exposed again. Grandma still doesn't know about the human traffickers." She quickly grabbed Lin Guiying's arm, "Hehe, Grandma, it's my fault..."
Lin Guiying then realized that her granddaughter was busy doing good deeds even while participating in a competition, but since the matter was over, she didn't bother to pursue it further.
"What case is it this time? We won't go if it's dangerous."
Yan Feng was speechless; this time, there was indeed danger.
He nudged Wu Zheng with his elbow, and Wu Zheng nudged Zhao Yang with his elbow. Zhao Yang sighed and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will? Who made me my underling? Wasn't I just there to take the fall?"
