Chapter 4 The Thief of Time(1/3)
"First question, have I seen your daughter?"
Although Lu Weimin had been sitting opposite me just now, he had actually been in a daze. When he fully understood that the person sitting in front of him was really capable of saving his daughter, he became particularly excited at first, and soon followed my words.
After hearing what I asked him, he giggled for a while and then hurriedly placed a photo in front of me.
I picked it up and took a look, feeling a little nervous.
To be honest, Lu Weimin's story so far is a bit poignant: a lonely and successful wealthy businessman, a memory that cannot be traced back, an illegitimate daughter who was hurt, and of course, the one in 10,000 success rate.
What a misfortune!
Since ancient times, beautiful and lovely people are indispensable in poignant stories. You watch "Butterfly Lovers", you watch "Romeo and Juliet", you watch "A Dream of Red Mansions", you watch "Jin Ping Mei"... Well, I don't know what you think of the last one.
Anyway, I find it quite poignant.
So I always thought that Lao Lu’s daughter, even if she was not a pure and refined fairy-like girl, was at least a simple country girl with two big pigtails and sad eyes. She stood in front of Lu Weimin, aggrieved and asked cautiously: "Mr. Lu,
Do you still remember Xia Yuhe in the east door of No. 53 Courtyard in Xiaohewan Beili?"...
But the person in the photo surprised me. She was a troubled girl with messy hair and a weird look. Her ears, nose, lips, and any exposed area were covered with rings made of various metals.
He probably wouldn't be able to pass the airport security check. He obviously has single eyelids, but he had to use stickers to make them double. His skills are not up to par, and there are two rotten edges of his eyelids. His face is covered with various paints. He is dirtier than Captain Jack Sbarro...
In short, when seeing her, people can't help but think of an atavistic chameleon, a leap-forward ape, and a Libyan turkey that fell into a manhole - this is a typical problem girl!
Lu Weimin asked with concern: "Have you seen it?"
I buttoned up the photo and covered my heart and said, "I don't know if I've seen it before, but I've definitely never seen anyone wearing this outfit."
Lu Weimin also felt ashamed and said, "Why do you ask this?"
I used to think he was quite cold-blooded. The other person is a little girl. Even if he comes to defraud you, you can't do anything with him. But now I still don't want to forgive him. I think he should take advantage of her!
I said: "This is a strict rule. The person I want to go back to find must be someone I haven't seen before."
Lu Weimin's eyes lit up and he said, "She has been out of town. You probably haven't seen her before."
I rejoiced: "Really? This is quite lucky for her and me - second question, do many people know that she died?"
"not much."
"About how many?"
"Maybe five or six."
I said, "That's easy. We have to go back and revive her, so the memories of everyone who saw her die have to be erased. This is very laborious."
Lu Weimin assured: "I'm sure there are only five or six."
I hummed and said, "Your daughter is fine. As long as she washes her face, no one will recognize her."
Lu Weimin stopped talking again.
"Last question, how long has she been dead?"
"Three days ago."
"What exactly?"
"The police told me that she had an accident around 1:30 noon."
I looked at my watch: "Well, there are still 45 minutes left before 72 hours, which is quite enough." I suddenly said a little unspeakably, "Now, let's talk about money."
Lu Weimin wondered: "Money?"
I said embarrassedly: "Look, you have to pay someone to clean the windows, right? Although I am the director of the neighborhood committee and I should be aware, I can't completely oblige you to do the work for you - besides, you are not from our area.
Son’s…”
Lu Weimin reacted immediately and said suddenly: "Money is not an issue, you can make whatever price you want."
I asked cautiously: "By the way...how much money do you have?"
Lu Weimin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's probably less than 1 billion. I'm not a very rich person."
I wiped my sweat and said, "You're welcome. From now on, I'll be satisfied if I have one-tenth as much as you." I used to think that I would be able to flaunt it with 10 million.
Lao Lu smiled humbly: "You can make an offer."
I am a very persistent person. Since I think 10 million is enough, I stretched out a finger and said: "I want..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Laoliu and Leng Ding rushed in from outside the door and shouted: "You are too shameless. Just ask for 100 million?"
I was stunned: "I mean..."
Liu Laoliu rushed to say to Lu Weimin: "Lao Lu, don't take it personally. That's just the way he is, but this is also his death rule. If you work for others, you will get one-tenth of your property in return."
While the guy was talking, he winked at me hard. I stretched out my finger suddenly and glanced at Lu Weimin tentatively. Liu Laoliu was so dark, he opened his mouth to say 100 million!
Lu Weimin smiled unnaturally and said: "I have said it before, in fact, my total assets are less than 1 billion."
Liu Laoliu pressed my finger back and said carelessly: "You should give in, instead of 100 million, just 90 million -" Then he patted Lu Weimin on the shoulder and consoled him, "90 million is actually not much.
, after all, there are human lives involved here.”
Lu Weimin smiled slightly: "No, just 100 million. Money is not an issue."
I admit that the reason why I am so concerned about Lu Weimin's affairs is that I really want to get a certain amount of reward from him, and I have already thought about the amount, which is 10 million.
Give him back 8 million...
What? Why do I love money so much?
Why can't I love money? Apart from being able to stop time and think wildly, I am just an ordinary person. When I go to buy soda, people will never sell you Coke as mineral water because of this. Of course, if you want to take it, you will get away with it.
There’s no need to give, no one can catch me, there are plenty of people who can run fast, if everyone does this, the world won’t be in chaos? What kind of qualities do you have?
I didn't expect to make 100 million yuan easily. After all, I am not an ordinary person in the ordinary sense. I don't have enough understanding of life. If I care about the length of life, I can definitely live 10 years into two years.
It's been so long for centuries. Maybe I didn't realize the meaning of relatives because I was an orphan.
In order to cover up my embarrassment, I said: "We will leave in a moment, but I want to remind you..."
Before I could say anything, Lu Weimin immediately responded: "I will never talk about this matter to anyone, including her!"
I nodded, looked at my watch and said, "It's still early, let's sit for a while."
At this time, the door opened and two people walked in from the outside. The first person lowered his head subconsciously when he entered. In fact, although he was very tall, he was by no means over the threshold, but this guy did look impressive.
Astonishing, with a big nose, big eyes, thick eyebrows, and a ridiculously tall body, he carries an aura that dares to collide with everything, as if nothing in the world can withstand his punches and kicks.
This guy's name is Chen Kepo. He is my real childhood friend. We grew up together in an orphanage since we were babies.
Chen Kepo walked in and kept waving his hands and shrugging to express his helplessness: "What do you think I should do in that situation? You couldn't think of a way."
A clear voice behind him said displeasedly: "So I asked you to wait! But you still didn't listen."
As soon as Ah Po entered the room, he revealed the woman who was talking behind him. She was tall, with big breasts and a slim waist. She had a pair of dark black framed flat glasses on her straight nose, which made her skin look better than snow, making her look fashionable.
Intellectuality: Breast enlargement, thin waist, glasses, fashion, comprehensive evaluation, OL glasses girl, royal sister. Excluding the obscene meaning in Japanese, let us say it in Chinese - sexy, mature! Well, it seems to be concise in Chinese.
of……
She also grew up with me and Apo, and her name is Long Jiahui. Because she is the youngest among us, we usually call her Xiaohui.
The two people had just come back from the street, and it looked like they were having an argument. Ah Po was very unconvinced, and Xiao Hui walked behind him coldly, holding her shoulders, looking a little annoyed.
When they saw Liu Laoliu at my place, Ah Po greeted him: "Old Liu——"
Liu Laoliu emphasized: "Call Liu Lao!" Ah Po didn't hear it at all.
Xiaohui smiled slightly and said, "You are here."
"Xiao Hui is still polite, but smart kids are different."
When Ah Po saw there was an outsider in the room, he asked me, "Is he looking for you?"
I didn’t hide anything: “I’ll take him back to three days ago later.”
Ah Po changed his expression and looked at Lu Weimin again, and asked me carefully: "Are you crazy? Can't you find your home or have you lost the key?"
Lu Weimin glanced at me depressedly, his eyes full of inquiry.
I smiled and said, "Okay, there's no need to hide it, we're all our own people." I asked Ah Po, "What's wrong with you and Xiaohui?"
Ah Po sat on the stool and spread his arms and legs and sighed: "Forget it, I just walked into a jewelry store and wandered around, and I actually got robbed."
I couldn't help but become happy: "Really?"
"Isn't it? Why are you so unlucky? This place happens every few years on average, so it happened to me."
I laughed and said, "It would be unlucky for those robbers to meet you - how many of them are there?"
Apo turned his face and asked Xiaohui: "Four?"
Xiaohui nodded.
"What happened next?" I asked with interest.
"Originally I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but those grandsons were unreasonable and took the female store manager's young daughter as a hostage and forced her to hand over the key to the safe. I couldn't bear it, so I took action."
"How was the result?" I asked Po with a smile.
"I lost my arm, and I beat all four of my grandchildren to serious disabilities. While we were walking, they were lying down waiting for the police to save them." Ah Po's tone sounded like he was talking about a penny he picked up on the side of the road.
