Extraordinary Pioneer

Chapter 8 Xu Baiyue

Li Ye left the community as fast as he could, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and rushed towards Wu Songbai's home.

"Master, please hurry up."

In fact, with Li Ye's current savings, buying a seven-figure private car is a very easy task.Even if his own income is not counted, just the monthly living allowances given by his father and Aunt Song in the capital on time can make Li Ye live like other rich second generations.

It's just because of his personality, Li Ye doesn't particularly care about things like luxury cars and mansions.In addition, the usual work is mainly done at home, so Li Ye has no idea of ​​buying a scooter.

"okay."

The master driver took a look at Li Ye and sped up his speed a little.

Although unmanned driving technology has been tried to apply more than ten years ago, most countries and cities have not completely released the application of this technology in the transportation field due to the principle of caution.Therefore, the current car driving is still dominated by manual operation.

In the automotive field, unmanned driving has not yet fully entered the period of industrialization.However, fuel vehicles have completely withdrawn from the stage of the times five or six years ago, and now all the vehicles that can run on the road are new energy vehicles.

It was already half dark when Li Ye arrived.

Standing at the door of Wu Songbai's house, Li Ye knocked on the door.

"Brother Ye..."

The person who opened the door was a tall, thin young man with gold-rimmed glasses and a bookish look on his face.

He is Guo Huaikun.

"Huai Kun, what happened?"

Li Ye entered the room, closed the door, and asked in a low voice.

"Go to the study..."

Guo Huaikun didn't answer Li Ye directly.

Li Ye frowned, he could tell that Guo Huaikun's complexion was not very good-looking.

"Miss Bai Qing?"

As soon as Li Ye entered the study, he saw a young woman with red eyes. She was 27 or [-] years old, she was not at all energetic, she had obviously just cried.

Xu Baiqing is Wu Songbai's wife, and they have been married for five or six years.

Next to Xu Baiqing, there was a worried girl, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Xu Baiqing's.It's just that Li Ye had never seen her before.

Seeing Xu Baiqing's state, Li Ye vaguely felt that things might be worse than he thought.

"Xiao Ye is here..."

Seeing Li Ye, Xu Baiqing forcibly raised his spirits and forced a smile.

"What's the matter, Miss Bai Qing?"

Xu Baiqing is a very gentle and patient person. When Li Ye first came to Sioux City, Wu Songbai asked her to help buy the rented house and many necessary daily necessities.

When Xu Baiqing heard the words, he first sighed, and his eyes turned red again: "The pines and cypresses are missing."

"Missing?!"

Li Ye was suddenly depressed, and for a moment he thought of various possibilities of what happened.

"When?"

Li Ye felt that Wu Songbai disappeared without warning.

"I haven't heard from him for nearly half a month..." Xu Baiqing choked up, "If it's just that I can't contact him temporarily, I wouldn't be so worried, but..."

Guo Huaikun, who didn't say a word, handed a piece of paper full of handwriting to Li Ye: "This is left by Brother Bai before he disappeared more than half a month ago. The letter said that he will come back within a week. If he returns Don't come...he let sister Bai Qing take care of herself."

Li Ye raised his eyebrows, which was basically the tone of confession.

Li Ye spread the letter paper on the desk in front of him. He stared at the paper with a dignified expression.In today's electronic information age, things written with paper and pen often have special meanings.

"Bai Qing, when you read this letter, I have already left Sucheng. Forgive me for not having the courage to say goodbye to you face to face. There are some things that I cannot tell you yet. Please forgive me..."

Li Ye carefully read it word by word. There are many contents, but most of them are Wu Songbai's gratitude and guilt to Xu Baiqing.Reading the whole article is like the last words left by a warrior before he decided to die.

"Ok?"

Just when Li Ye was about to finish reading, a sentence in the last few lines of Wu Songbai's letter caught Li Ye's attention.

"The curtain of drastic changes of the times has been lifted. Even so, I still hope that under the order of the new world, I can accompany you through the next magnificent years..."

This sentence appeared very abruptly, and it didn't seem to have any particularly close connection with the context.

But Li Ye's heart suddenly shook.

"Great change of the times? New world?"

What popped up in Li Ran's mind was the extraordinary vanguard. This was his instinctive first reaction.

"Ok?"

The young woman who had been comforting her by Xu Baiqing's side had keenly noticed the change in Li Ye's expression. She could clearly see that Li Ye fixed his eyes on that sentence.

As if sensing something, Li Ye suddenly raised his head, but he found that the strange woman next to Xu Baiqing was staring at him.

The two looked at each other, with some inexplicable deep meaning in their eyes.

"Have you called the police?"

Li Ye was puzzled, and instead of continuing to look at each other, he asked Xu Baiqing back.

"The police have been called. The police station is also helping to find traces of Songbai, but no information has been reported back yet."

Xu Baiqing's voice was a little hoarse.

Guo Huaikun took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, ignored the presence of the two women, and lit it directly.

He handed Li Ye one, but Li Ye waved his hand and refused.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Xiaoye, Huaikun, you two go back..."

Xu Baiqing said suddenly: "Actually, I have already talked about this matter with my family, and they are also trying to figure out a way... I didn't want you to know at first. If Huai Kun hadn't come to find Songbai today, I wouldn't have told him about it." It's about something...you all go back, I want to be alone for a while too...Bai Yue, you can go too..."

Xu Baiqing issued an order to evict the guests.

The three looked at each other and nodded.They all knew that Xu Baiqing was in a bad mood right now, staying would only make her feel more uncomfortable.

Out of Xu Baiqing's house.

"Brother Ye, I'm leaving first..."

Guo Huaikun snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, his eyes were a little bloodshot: "I'll post a missing person notice in the circle, and ask my friends to help spread it..."

"Okay." Li Ye patted Guo Huaikun on the shoulder.

"Let's go, Bai Yue..."

Guo Huaikun waved to the girl named Bai Yue, and left without looking back.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the moon had already hung up.

Now and even late autumn, there is already a chill in the air.

"My name is Xu Baiyue, I'm Xu Baiqing's biological sister, and Wu Songbai is my brother-in-law."

Li Ye was about to say goodbye, but Xu Baiyue suddenly spoke.

"My name is Li Ye."

Li Ye frowned, paused, and responded very briefly.
