They got into the car and as she fastened her seat belt, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at him and asked, "Do you think Wei Jun would have donated the money to an orphanage in city X?" She then knit her brows, "Or there could have also been some kind of donation event where he could have donated it."
"I already told Yan Cong to go investigate that." Unexpectedly she had the same idea as he did. Xiao Yang took another look at her and started the engine, turning his eyes back to the front, "I'm just worried that he might have donated them separately. If he had made his donations anonymous, the possibility of finding them would be very small."
At this moment, rain started to trickle down and not long after, the entire glass was covered with water. As he turned on the rain wiper, he heard Qiao Yin talking to herself, "If it was really donated, even if the record was found, it's not possible to get the money back."
Xiao Yang did not say anything and just quietly drove the car. The rain started to increase and the roads in the village had not yet been constructed so on a rainy day, the road it will become muddy and very slippery, one could not dare to drive too fast. He had not driven too far when he noticed someone was chasing the car with an umbrella waving their hands on the rear mirror.
Xiao Yang stopped the car and rolled down the window for the person, who very quickly ran up to the window and asked, " Excuse me, are you Officer Xiao?"
It was a man around the age of 30, from the way he was dressed, it could be deduced that he lived near the village. He seemed to have been running for quite a bit as he was sweating a lot.
"Yes." Xiao Yang said as he observed him, "What's the problem?"
"Oh, oh. Hello, hello." The man then introduced himself, "My name is Zhou Peng, I live in the village at the front. Wei Jun and I are from the same hometown, I also work in city X, recently an elder at home got sick so I cane back." He wiped the sweat off his forehead and with a panicked voice, he continued, "Earlier I heard from Big sister Zhao that Wei Jun stole a hundred thousand. Officer, I think you might have made a mistake, two days ago I came back with Wei Jun, he looked fine, very normal. The kid is very well behaved, he definitely wouldn't steal money..."
Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow, catching the important detail from his words, "On Thursday you returned with him?" He asked and then quickly followed up with a question, "Do you where he went to before returning?"
Hearing their conversation, Qiao Yin couldn't help but observe at the man outside the car.
Zhou Peng shook his head, "I opened a convenience store, he came to my store to buy water and then when he heard that I was going to return, he said he wanted to come back with me." He carefully thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered something and slapped his head, "Oh, right --- we also went to an orphanage, he said he has been working in city X for two years and had not yet visited the orphanage so he wanted me to take him there to visit."
Hearing this, Xiao Yang became well aware of the situation and glanced at Qiao Yin, the two shared a look before he turned back to Zhou Peng and asked, "Which orphanage?"
Four hours later, they arrived at the orphanage with Zhou Peng, finally now they understood what happened. It turns out that on Thursday, when Wei Jun asked Zhou Peng to go with him to the orphanage, he pretended to go to the restroom and left Zhou Peng in the main hall. Then he secretly went to find the dean of the orphanage and using Zhou Peng's name, he donated the eighty thousand to the orphanage.
Where the money was had already been found, however no one was happy.
Xiao Yang needed to take Zhou Peng back to the station to make a statement, so Qiao Yin could only bid them farewell at the orphanage.
"I still need to go find someone." She simply said, not explaining in detail to Xiao Yang and with a smile she took her leave.
Since she did not drive her car today, she could only go to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Ever since she bought her car, she had rarely taken the bus After standing in front of the bus map for a long time, she finally figured out which bus she should take. She then searched in her purse for change for the bus. As she was fishing for the change, she heard the sound of a horn honking close by.
Qiao Yin looked up to find Xiao Yang's car stopped in front of her. He rolled down the window, without much of an expression, he locked eyes with her and said, "Get in, I will drive you."
She was a bit shocked but she could not let his car stay wait in front of the bus stop, so she quickly got in the car and then glanced at the back seat, "Where's Zhou Peng?"
"Yan Cong arrived just in time and conveniently took him back with him." He calmly explained as he drove past the bus stop, "Where do you want to go?"
"Wei Jun's worksite." Qiao Yin responded as she buckled her seat belt.
He glanced at her and guessed her intentions, "To find Liu Qiang?"
Qiao Yin nodded her head and wanted to say something when the phone in her bag rang. She fished out the phone, her expression visibly darkened and then she turned to him with an apologetic smile, "I need to answer this first." She pressed the answer button and the smile on her face quickly disappeared, "Hello?"
"Sis," a voice transmitted from the other end of the phone, the voice on the other end was not foreign and it sounded like a student, "Lend me one thousand yuan."
"Did you use up all your living expenses again?" Qiao Yin asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you ask your father?"
This was the first time hearing her use such a tone, so Xiao Yang quietly glanced at her through the rear mirror, taking in her expressionless face.
"Why make it sound so distant? Isn't he also your father?" However, Qiao JiaYue on the other side was not scared in the least, with a lazy attitude she continued, "It's not like you don't know, dad lost his job and his health isn't very good, how can I ask him for money?"
Qiao Yin coldly scoffed, "Now you know to care for him? When you were spending money, why didn't you think of him?"
Probably because she was hit in her sore spot, her voice became irritated, "Are you going to lend it to me or not?'
"Lending without getting it back, do you think I will lend it to you?" Qiao Yin coldly returned the question back to her.
Qiao JiaYue on the other side of the phone was annoyed with her and coldly scoffed back at her, "You only know how to argue with me, if dad was the one who asked, you would still take out the money."
With that said, the call ended.
