When he heard Jiujiu ask about her brother, the man's pupils shook slightly. After a moment, he lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes and said in the same tone, "Sorry, I haven't found him yet."
When Jiujiu mentioned her brother, she kept staring at the man from the corner of her eyes. When she saw the man's pupils shake and his lips move slightly, her heart instantly turned cold. From the man's expression, it could be seen that Cheng Xiaocao's brother was probably dead.
Knowing that Cheng Xiaocao's brother was probably dead, Jiujiu felt terrible, but she also understood that she had nothing to worry about.
Jiujiu looked up at the man.
The man's appearance was excellent. His facial features were well-defined, his nose bridge was high, his eyes were deep, and his lips were pale and exceptionally thin.
Some people said that men with thin lips were mostly heartless, but when a heartless man fell in love with a woman, he must be the most competent lover in the world. He would dedicate his life's love and pity to that woman.
However, while he dedicated his love and connection to that woman, he also ruined the lives of others.
Jiujiu lowered her eyelids to hide the coldness in her eyes. Her voice was very soft, like a glutinous rice ball without any temper. She said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's fine."
He had already sent Cheng Xiaocao's brother to his laboratory, but when faced with Jiujiu's embarrassment, the man could accept it calmly. In a way, he was really shameless.
Jiujiu pretended not to know that she already knew the whole truth. She lowered her eyes and said in a soft and weak voice, "Sir, thank you. You're really a good person."
Jiujiu looked up slightly when she said this. Her clear eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude.
The man who happened to be looking at Jiujiu was stunned by Jiujiu's sincere and grateful gaze. After a moment, he said, "It's my pleasure."
"Sir, may I know your name?"
"Li Jue." Li Jue said his name coldly.
"Mr. Li, I'm so sorry to have troubled you for so long. I really don't know how to repay you for helping me find my brother."
Jiujiu's eyes instantly dimmed when she spoke of repayment. Even her head drooped slightly.
Li Jue's eyes darkened and he said as usual, "I bumped into you. It's only right for me to take care of you."
Jiujiu pursed her lips and said, "I know it's inappropriate for me to say this, but I've been separated from my brother for so long. I'm really worried about him. Mr. Li, I want to go back to my brother. Can you take me back?"
Although Li Jue brought Jiujiu back, there was no reason for him to imprison Jiujiu. It was normal for Jiujiu to leave at this moment.
However, it was impossible for Jiujiu to leave when Li Jue was unwilling.
Li Jue said without thinking, "You fell down the stairs yesterday and have a slight concussion. You need to rest. I'll send more people to find your brother as soon as possible."
"Then will I be able to see my brother soon?"
When she talked about seeing her brother, Jiujiu was so happy that her eyes were shining like the stars hanging in the sky.
However, Li Jue would never bring Jiujiu's brother back.
What's more, he couldn't bring him back.
Li Jue's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "I'm sorry, this is my private residence. I'm afraid there's no way to bring him here."
Jiujiu didn't force Li Jue's words too much. She just pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Then can I video call my brother?"
Jiujiu looked at Li Jue with hopeful eyes, her face full of anticipation.
However, Li Jue still rejected Jiujiu's expectations mercilessly. "This is a mountainous area. The signal isn't very good. I'm afraid I can't video call your brother."
She couldn't bring her brother over or video call him. Jiujiu was 90% sure that her brother was still in danger.
Because he was chased out by her uncle with Cheng Xiaocao, even though her brother was only eight years old now, he was extremely obedient. Every day after school, he would return to the house and wait for Cheng Xiaocao to come home. Sometimes, he would even help Jiujiu prepare dinner.
An eight-year-old child should be acting cute in front of his parents, but Cheng Xiaocao's brother became extremely sensible because of the changes in his family.
Moreover, Cheng Xiaocao put all her money in the house. Even if she couldn't go home, it was enough for her brother to live alone for two to three months.
Looking for a little boy at a fixed location, how could he not find him? Then the only reason was that the child was already gone.
Jiujiu's face was full of gratitude. She said a series of grateful words, but in her heart, she hated Li Jue to death.
Li Jue, on the other hand, looked at Jiujiu's face that was exactly the same as the girl he liked. She said to him in a soft and sweet voice, and his face instantly softened.
At a certain moment, he seemed to feel that Jiujiu and the girl he liked overlapped.
If it weren't for the fact that Jiujiu had fallen down the stairs yesterday, Li Jue really wanted to have Jiujiu at this moment.
He had waited for the woman he liked for ten years. He had waited long enough. He was a normal man, and it was normal for him to have some needs. Moreover, Jiujiu had the same face as the woman he liked. When he was with Jiujiu, it was no different from when he was with the woman he liked.
Li Jue stayed in Jiujiu's house for a while, and then left with the excuse of dealing with business.
Jiujiu said goodbye to Li Jue in an exceptionally obedient manner, and then lay down on the bed to rest.
The moment Li Jue left, Jiujiu asked Steamed Bun to fix the camera in the room at the moment she was sleeping. Then, she opened her eyes and sat up on the bed to think about the future.
In fact, Jiujiu originally wanted to wait a few days for her martial arts to be almost done before leaving directly. Then, she could slowly take her revenge.
However, just now, Jiujiu thought of a better way than leaving directly.
Li Jue was powerful. Even if she climbed up the ranks bit by bit to take revenge, it would still take a long, long time. Moreover, Li Jue could blatantly commit murder and arson, which showed that he had a lot of power behind him. Therefore, it was unrealistic for Jiujiu to purely rely on herself to deal with Li Jue.
However, think about it from another perspective.
Li Jue could pour his heart out to the woman he liked and do countless heartless things. Then, what if the person he liked was herself?
If Li Jue liked her, then it would be much more fun. You have to find the latest chapter by yourself to read a book? You're out, follow me on WeChat
