Because Chen Ye gave up the idea of contacting Xiao Ziyu before leaving Beijing.
Therefore, he did not know that he took Xiao Ziyu to Qingdi Garden to drink, stepped on Zhao Tianming, and caused the Prince Club to be disbanded, which directly affected the work of Xiao Ziyu's parents.
He also didn't know what measures the Xiao family would take to prevent Xiao Ziyu from contacting him in the future.
He, his mother Fang Lan and Xiao Jiu boarded a passenger plane flying to Southwest Spring City.
Back then, Fang Lan met Chen Qingdi at a free clinic in Xishuang City on the southwest border.
But there happened to be no direct flights from Yanjing to Xishuang today, so they needed to transfer in Spring City.
Fang Lan was in the room where Emperor Chen Qing lived last night. She tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night. She fell asleep after getting on the plane.
Chen Ye originally wanted to close his eyes and enter a meditative state, but found Xiao Jiu next to him with a dull expression on his face.
This discovery made Chen Ye feel that something was wrong, so he asked:
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think anything of it."
Xiaojiu shook his head slightly, his expression a little unnatural.
"Sister, you didn't tell the truth."
Chen Ye saw that Xiaojiu was lying and said, "Are you encountering something troublesome? You can tell me. As a younger brother, I can help you solve your problems."
"It reminds me of things from my childhood."
Xiaojiu hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully.
"tell me the story."
When Chen Ye heard this, his heart moved.
He thought about Xiaojiu's original statement that she was adopted by Emperor Chen Qing, but did not give specific details.
"Xishuang is my hometown."
Xiaojiu was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.
"What a coincidence?"
Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and then vaguely felt that his father, Chen Qingdi, was ambushed on the southwest border, and his adoption of Xiaojiu was most likely a timeline, and there was a connection between the two.
"My father is a drug dealer. I heard from my grandfather that my father was shot to death by the police while selling drugs. After my father died, my mother ran away with others. My grandfather took me alone."
When Xiao Jiu said this, he seemed to be thinking of his grandfather, with a bit of sadness in his tone.
"At that time, my family had no money, and my grandfather was in poor health. He couldn't raise me by himself, so he wanted to send me to an orphanage. More than 20 years ago, there were actually very few orphanages. There was not even one in Xishuang City. .My grandfather took me to the provincial capital, but the orphanage in the provincial capital refused to accept me, saying that the quota was full. Later, I found out that the real reason was that my father was a drug dealer, and the staff at the orphanage were worried No one adopted me.”
"and after?"
Chen Ye could feel the pain in Xiaojiu's words.
More than twenty years have passed, but it still has not healed the scars in Xiaojiu's heart.
"Because the orphanage didn't take me in, my grandfather had no choice but to take me back. But after my grandfather took me back to Xishuang, he ran out of money. We couldn't take a car and had to walk back to the village. When we were halfway there, my grandfather He said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, and asked me to stay with him and not go anywhere. Grandpa fell asleep after saying that, and I stayed by his side. At night, it was dark, and I was hungry and scared. , I just wanted to wake up grandpa, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t wake him up.”
Having said this, Xiao Jiu's eye circles were slightly red, and tears shone in his eyes.
"At this time, two people came to me. They told me that my grandfather was dead. They also said that they were my father's friends and took me to find my father. At that time, I didn't know they He is a human trafficker, but I remember my grandfather said that my father is dead. So, I told them that my father is dead."
Xiaojiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and continued:
"When those two people heard what I said, they stopped lying to me. They knocked me unconscious and put me in a sack."
"You met a human trafficker? Then how did you meet my dad?"
Chen Ye's expression changed. He did not expect that Xiao Jiu's life experience and experience would be so miserable.
"The two traffickers sold me, and the person who bought me sold me to a third buyer. The third buyer was an outer disciple of the witch sect, who specifically looked for horoscopes and fortune tellers for the leader of the witch sect. A little girl with a special constitution. After I was sent to the witch sect, when I was about to be killed, my adoptive father and the summer guardian arrived, destroyed the witch sect and saved me."
Xiaojiu spoke again.
Her words confirmed Chen Ye's guess.
"What does the witchcraft teach the horoscopes and the little girls with special physiques?"
Chen Ye continued to ask.
"Practice witchcraft. The witch sect has an evil method that uses the method of harvesting yin and replenishing yang. Every year, the leader of the witch sect finds qualified girls from various places to help him practice witchcraft."
Xiao Jiu said with a look of hatred.
"The witch religion should be destroyed, and the leader of the witch religion should be executed!"
Chen Ye was furious.
In that parallel world, he had also heard of similar cultivation methods, but they were dual-cultivation methods, unlike the witchcraft that used little girls, which was simply harmful to nature and outraged by both humans and gods.
"However, I heard from my adoptive father that the leader of the witch sect escaped."
Xiaojiu continued.
"Sister, don't worry. In addition to accompanying my mother on this trip to the southwest, I also want to find clues about the leader of the witch sect. If I find that evil beast, I will definitely skin him and give him to him. You take revenge!"
Chen Ye clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Seeing Chen Ye's murderous look, Xiaojiu hesitated to speak.
A few hours later, Chen Ye and the others arrived at Spring City. They rested for three hours, then changed flights and took another hour before arriving at Xishuang City on the southwest border.
Xishuang is one of the well-known tourist cities in Southwest China. It is somewhat similar to Nantai and attracts a large number of tourists every year.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ye and the other three arrived at Xishuang Hotel by car.
This is the only five-star hotel in Xishuang City, and its business is very good.
“This hotel is so unique!”
"Sisters, after checking in, let's take photos and check in together!"
When Chen Ye and the others were checking in, they happened to meet a small tour group with more than a dozen people, all of whom were young girls.
The girls have good looks and figures, and they are very good at dressing up, giving them a very fashionable look.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ye lined up behind a dozen girls, waiting to check in, but suddenly found that Xiao Jiu looked outside the hotel door with a strange expression, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I seem to have seen the person who kidnapped me back then!"
Xiaojiu's words were astonishing.
"Chase!"
When Chen Ye heard this, without saying a word, he grabbed Xiaojiu and ran towards the hotel door.
this moment.
They did not notice that the pupils of the two young men checking in for the girls from the tour group suddenly dilated, and a hint of gloom flashed in their eyes.
Soon, Chen Ye and Xiaojiu arrived at the hotel door, but it was empty. Except for the security guard, there was no one else. A luxurious Mercedes-Benz G63 disappeared from their sight.
"Sister, are you sure you read it correctly?"
Chen Ye looked at the G63 going away and wrote down the license plate number.
He knew that the person Xiao Jiu saw was in that car.
"They look similar, but I can't be sure. After all, it's been so many years."
Xiaojiu hesitated and said.
"Sister, let's do this. Let's go back to the room and call the hotel surveillance. As long as we are sure it's the trafficker from back then, he won't be able to escape!"
Chen Ye took his eyes away from G63 and made a decision.
"good."
Xiaojiu nodded, thinking Chen Ye's arrangement was reasonable.
Half an hour later.
Chen Ye and the three of them finished checking in.
In the room, Xiaojiu used the authority of a member of the Summer Watching Organization to access the surveillance cameras of Xishuang Hotel.
"That's him! There is a scar under the corner of his right eye, I remember it very clearly!"
Xiaojiu pointed at the middle-aged man leading the surveillance video and said.
"Use the car and mobile phone to locate his location, and I'll catch him!"
When Chen Ye heard this, he narrowed his eyes.
