Chapter 169: Chapter 166: Xian Jie: Save This Fool Please
The man slowly opened his eyes and glanced to the side.
However, he didn’t look at him, but indifferently asked, “Help with what?”
His voice was without much emotion, yet carried an air of clear purity, like melting ice and snow.
As soon as Huo Qi heard him stir, he quickly pulled a slight embarrassed smile and said, “Could you first cover my bus fare? I don’t have any cash on me.”
As he said this, and seemingly thinking of something, he quickly added, “Hey, don’t think I’m a scammer, when I get to the city, I can go to the bank to withdraw some money and pay you back tenfold.”
After these words fell, the man fully opened his eyes and looked at him, but his glasses reflected light, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
He stared at him, silent for a long while.
Under the harsh light, Huo Qi sat against the light, his delicate and pretty face becoming more distinct under the shadows cast by the light.
At this point, the burly driver suddenly said in a rough voice:
“So, you have no money? Are you planning to ride for free?”
“No, no, no, brother, I have money, I’m very rich! It’s just that my car broke down halfway.”
Huo Qi quickly explained, not concealing his financial capacity at all.
But who would believe him looking right now? The burly driver snorted coldly, and then ominously added:
“You can get a free ride if you want, but when we get to the next station, just come down with me alone, and that’ll be fine.”
As these words came out, Huo Qi instinctively tensed up, sensing a certain danger.
“Go down for what… to withdraw money?”
However, the other party went silent, merely staring at him through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Huo Qi was completely bewildered. What exactly was the situation…?!
When he looked at the man beside him again, Wen Xian’s pale and slender fingers couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve: “Bro, bro…”
The ticket seller stared at Huo Qi, her eyes showing a touch of scorn: “Well, in that case, you just wait until the next stop—”
“Cash payment, how much.”
The man’s clear and indifferent voice suddenly rang out.
The ticket seller was taken aback, then showed the ticket: “Two hundred and fifty.”
Huo Qi will probably never know that he almost got a harsh beating and fierce rebuke from society over not having these two hundred and fifty yuan.
Wen Xian was still on her way to the film set.
Sitting in Lu Xiao’s SUV, she slightly raised her eyebrows when she saw the incoming call and picked it up.
“Hello, Wen Xian… it’s me, Huo Qi’s assistant. It’s —”
As Wen Xian listened to the conversation on the other end, her eyebrows twitched more and more.
After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and cursed vehemently, then turned to Lu Xiao: “Could you help me find someone?”
Lu Xiao saw her ashen face and frowned, “Who?”
Wen Xian clenched her teeth: “Who else could it be, if not that fool Huo Qi!”
She relayed the information from the phone call verbatim to him, then gritted her teeth and said:
“We must find this idiot as fast as possible. The longer it takes, the higher the chances that he’ll be lost.”
Lu Xiao’s expression turned somewhat cold: “Ordinary people wouldn’t go that far.”
Perhaps he hadn’t expected that man to come to Qinghai as well.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian couldn’t help but snort, cursing:
“Huo Qi is surely not ordinary. Some people go out without their brains, but not him. When God was sprinkling wisdom upon the world, he was clever enough to open an umbrella.”
So, he truly had no brains at all!
