Pei Qingji's nerves that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed at this moment. His body lost support and his whole body slid down.
Pei Jingzhou immediately held Pei Qingji's shoulders: "Dad, if there is no one in the car, it means she is fine. She must be in a safe place now."
"You're right, Jiao Jiao must be staying in a safe place now." Pei Qingji's face looked much better at this moment than before.
The next step is to start salvaging.
Although there is no one in the car, the car must be salvaged now so that the source of the accident can be identified immediately, especially since there is a very important driving recorder on the car.
When Han Qianye saw Pei Qingji and his son back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone under the water?"
Pei Qingji shook his head: "There was only one car and no one was detected."
"That's good, that's good." Han Qianye was relieved: "This stinky girl really scared me to death."
As long as there is no one in the car and the sonar does not detect other echoes around, for the time being, no news is good news.
It just takes a while to salvage it.
Pei Qingji coaxed Han Qianye to go back to the car first and wait for the news. Han Qianye was unwilling, so Pei Qingji personally took Han Qianye back to the car to rest.
Mainly because Han Qianye is in such a bad mood right now.
Pei Jingzhou and Qin Zhuoning were guarding outside the cordon, waiting for the car from the bottom of the river to be salvaged.
The two stood side by side. Qin Zhuoning looked back at the river in the distance and asked Pei Jingzhou sideways: "Why didn't you ask me why I came here today?"
"I know." Pei Jingzhou also withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Qin Zhuoning: "He Wang mentioned something in front of me before."
Qin Zhuoning smiled bitterly: "He Wang has such a big mouth."
Pei Jingzhou asked: "Is it just a whim, or do you think Pei Jiao is suitable?"
The bitter smile at the corner of Qin Zhuoning's mouth turned into a choked smile: "Fourth brother, you asked these two questions very well. No matter which one you answer, you will be given a proposition."
Pei Jingzhou said calmly: "Then I'll wait until you think about it clearly one day and then answer this question properly."
Qin Zhuoning responded: "Okay."
The atmosphere between brothers should be casual and relaxed, but if a brother covets his sister, the atmosphere is not so casual and relaxed.
As an elder brother, you should always have an attitude of being an elder brother.
Pei Jingzhou's attitude is that brothers can make any joke between brothers and get into trouble with each other, but if he wants to marry his sister, he has to show his attitude.
However, now is not the time for Qin Zhuoning to express his position. The most important thing at the moment is to find the missing Pei Jiao first. Only when he knows that Pei Jiao is okay can he feel at ease.
"Uncle said that Pei Jiao got into her friend's car. Fourth brother, do you know who her friend is?" Qin Zhuoning asked.
Pei Jingzhou: "I don't pay much attention to her social circle. I only know that they are friends she often hangs out with. I have not investigated that person's identity."
Qin Zhuoning said: "Pei Jiao's disappearance happened so suddenly. When Pei Jiao is found, her friends will have to investigate. I always feel that this disappearance is not an accident or coincidence."
"Do you think it's man-made?" Pei Jingzhou asked him sideways.
Qin Zhuoning: "It's just speculation. We still have to wait until we get the driving recorder to find out what happened."

This side of Luhu Lake.
After Pei Jingzhou went out, Li Xiwu never left the house again and stayed at home with Zhijia and Youyou.
During this time, the family has prepared a lot of toys one after another, but Yuyou can't play with them at all. Now here they are, and there are many toys taken apart, including Lego, puzzles, magnetic pieces, and colored clay, etc.
Youyou's favorite thing is colored clay. She played with it in a box of colored clay, and the flowers were all over the place.
Qiao Qiao was more interested in the Lego City series at first, but after playing with it for a while, his interest gradually became less intense, and finally he picked up the brand new fourth-level Rubik's Cube.
The evening passed very long.
But Li Xiwu was absent-minded, which made it feel extra long. During this period, Bitian even took the initiative to ask her once: "Where is he?"
Li Xiwu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized who Qiao Qiao was asking. She did not answer immediately, but took the opportunity to correct the title now: "Who Qiao Qiao is asking?"
He bit and pursed his lips, thinking about what to say.
Li Xiwu asked: "Are you asking where dad is?"
Biting nodded: "Yeah."
Li Xiwu said deliberately: "Can you ask again?"
It's not that Zhiqian didn't want to say it, but he was a little embarrassed to ask. At this time, Youyou, who was rubbing the colored clay, squeezed over and asked: "Isn't daddy off work yet?"
Youyou’s words undoubtedly encouraged Zhiqiao.
Biting moved his mouth and asked Li Xiwu in a low voice: "Where is daddy?"
Li Xiwu looked at the two little guys in front of her who were looking at her eagerly, sighed with satisfaction, and replied: "Your father will be late when he comes back today because he has to work overtime. Let's go to bed later."
Biting nodded: "I understand."
Youyou threw herself into Li Xiwu's arms and rubbed some of the colored clay on Li Xiwu's body: "Dad hasn't come back, so can Youyou sleep with mom today?"
As Youyou’s words fell.
Zhiqiao also looked at Li Xiwu. Although he didn't say anything, his big eyes were full of hope.
Li Xiwu touched Youyou's cheek, then touched Qieqian's cheek, and agreed, "Both of you can do it."
"Oh yeah!" Youyou made a handsome gesture.
He was also very happy to bite, and the corners of his mouth were raised again and again.
After a while, Aunt Lin came in and called for dinner.
Zhiqiao consciously put down the Rubik's Cube. Youyou was still wiping off the colored clay in his hand. After pressing it too hard, the colored clay stuck to the palm of his hand. When he saw it, he took the initiative to help Youyou clean the colored clay from his hand.
Careful and meticulous.
Li Xiwu looked on with relief.
She also finally realized the comfort of being an old mother.
After dinner, Li Xiwu told Aunt Lin in advance that she would sleep with Zhijia and Youyou tonight. Aunt Lin also knew that the male host would come back very late tonight, so she nodded and went back to the room after cleaning up.
.
After nightfall.
Li Xiwu sat on the bedside and read two bedtime stories to put the two little ones to sleep.
Zhiyuan didn't feel much sense of security and wanted to be close to Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu was worried that Youyou would be jealous, but she didn't expect that Youyou not only wasn't jealous, but would also take the initiative to give in to Zhan and push Zhan to Li Xiwu.
On Wu's side, Youyou herself was holding Qieqiao's arms.
There was a notification tone from the mobile phone placed by the bedside.
Li Xiwu put down his bedtime reading, picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a WeChat message from Boyuan: Are the two little guys asleep? Did they bother you?
Li Xiwu clicked on the camera, took a photo of Qiao Qiao and You You sleeping together and sent it to Boyuan, and edited a line of text: Sleeping soundly.
Boyuan first sent a cute emoticon, and then a good night emoticon.
Li Xiwu smiled with a smile on his lips, and also gave Boyuan a good night expression.
She checked the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. Pei Jingzhou had sent a message an hour ago, telling her that he would be back later tonight, but there was no specific time, and he repeatedly told her to go to bed first.
She put the phone aside and lay down next to the two little guys.
The night was peaceful and she quickly fell asleep.
But this was not a good dream, because she once again dreamed of the past, the day her mother died...
