Chapter 143 Bad news!
At Survival Base No. 7, after some searching, Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li finally found the first person who bought the jade bracelet from Li Weiyi.
The man's name was Zhang Tu. He was nearly fifty years old and was a jade dealer who ran a small shop.
After seeing Zhang Tu, Bai Weiwei anxiously asked straight to the point: "Boss Zhang! Do you still remember this jade bracelet?" As she spoke, Bai Weiwei took out Li Weiyi's jade bracelet and showed it to Zhang Tu.
"This jade bracelet... Eh!? It has an image!" Zhang Tu looked at the jade bracelet in Bai Weiwei's hand, raised his eyebrows, and remembered the origin of this bracelet.
Hearing what Zhang Tu said, Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li looked at each other and said hurriedly, "Boss Zhang! You remembered? Then please tell me where did you get this jade bracelet? It is really important to me! Thank you! Boss Zhang!"
Zhang Tu did not answer Bai Weiwei's question, but looked at Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li carefully.
"Ladies! This was obtained by one of my brothers accidentally. Are you trying to take advantage of my brother?" Zhang Tu frowned and looked at Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li. Although these two women were very beautiful, he was not someone who would betray his brothers for beauty.
"Boss Zhang! I just want to know where this jade bracelet came from. It is related to the safety of my fiancé. Please tell me, Boss Zhang!" Bai Weiwei pleaded again.
"Boss Zhang! I believe that with Boss Zhang's vision, he must be able to see that our identities are not simple. Given our identities, how could we have any intentions towards your brother?" Zhen Li on the side said.
"Boss Zhang, we just want to know where your brother got this jade bracelet. Please let us know. We will reward you handsomely!" Zhen Li continued.
Zhang Tu took another careful look at the two of them, then moved his gaze to Bai Weiwei and said, "I feel like this lady looks familiar. Who is your fiancé?"
"My sister's fiancé is Li Weiyi! Li Weiyi, the president of the Practitioners Association! So, we will not have any ill will towards your brother!" Zhen Li said hurriedly.
"Hmm? Li Weiyi? Chairman Li's fiancée?" Zhang Tu looked at Bai Weiwei in surprise again, "Are you really Chairman Li's fiancée? Miss Bai Weiwei from the Bai family?"
Zhang Tu already used honorifics when speaking.
Li Weiyi and Bai Weiwei were getting engaged, which was a big event. Although Zhang Tu was not qualified to attend, Li Weiyi was the president of the Cultivator Association after all, and he was also a god-level warrior! Guarding the entire survival base, how could Zhang Tu not pay attention to some of Li Weiyi's deeds?
Li Weiyi and Bai Weiwei were engaged. Although Zhang Tu had never seen them in person, he had seen their photos together on the Internet. That was why he felt that Bai Weiwei looked familiar.
"Yes!" Bai Weiwei nodded, "Please, Boss Zhang, take me to find your friend."
"Hey! Miss Bai! Please don't call me Boss Zhang, just call me Old Zhang! Chairman Li guards our survival base and protects us, he is our great benefactor! Let's go! Miss Bai! I will take you to find my friend!" Zhang Tu said excitedly. Zhang Tu was very excited to meet Li's only fiancée in person and to be able to help her.
Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li looked at each other and both felt that the expression in this picture changed too quickly.
"Thank you, Boss Zhang!" Bai Weiwei thanked him again.
"Miss Bai, you are too polite. You are the fiancée of my benefactor, which means you are also my benefactor! Why are you still talking about thanking me, Zhang?" Zhang Tu said, "Please follow me, my brother is not far from here, just a few steps away!"
"Thank you, Boss Zhang!" Bai Weiwei thanked him.
"Miss Bai, you're welcome! Please!"
Zhang Tu led the way in front, while Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li followed behind.
Seeing Bai Weiwei's face full of worry, nervousness and anxiety, Zhen Li comforted her softly: "Weiwei! It will be fine!"
"Yeah!" Bai Weiwei nodded in response and continued to follow Zhang Tu closely.
Zhang Tu also noticed Bai Weiwei's emotions behind him, and knew that there was still no news about Li Weiwei. Bai Weiwei must be very worried, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
After crossing a main road, Zhang Tu led the two to a small shop.
"Erhu! Come out and welcome the guests!" Zhang Tu shouted outside the door.
"Old Zhang! Are you also a distinguished guest?" A man with a scruffy beard and about the same age as Zhang Tu suddenly poked his head out of the store door. This was the friend Zhang Tu had mentioned , named Niu Erhu.
"Hehe! I'm naturally not a distinguished guest! These two are the real distinguished guests!" As he said that, Zhang Tu pointed at Bai Weiwei and Zhen Li standing beside him.
"Let me tell you, this is the fiancée of our benefactor... Miss Bai!" Zhang Tu also specifically introduced Bai Weiwei.
"Huh? The fiancée of my benefactor? What benefactor?" Niu Erhu looked at the picture in confusion, then looked at Bai Weiwei, and was slightly surprised by Bai Weiwei's beauty.
"Miss Bai is the fiancée of President Li Weiyi!" Zhang Tu said with some pride.
"Oh!? Is she really my benefactor's fiancée?!" Niu Erhu was shocked, and immediately thought that his benefactor's fiancée must have something important to ask him. Besides, there has been no news from President Li Weiyi for a few days. Niu Erhu felt that this matter must be related to President Li Weiyi, so he asked again: "What does Miss Bai want to ask me for? If I can help Miss Bai, I, Niu Erhu, will definitely do my best!"
"Excuse me, do you still remember this bracelet? Where did you get it?" Bai Weiwei took out the jade bracelet and showed it to Niu Erhu.
"This one?" Niu Erhu frowned slightly as he looked at the jade bracelet in Bai Weiwei's hand. He soon remembered where he got this bracelet, and said hurriedly: "Miss Bai! I found this bracelet by accident on the battlefield outside the Dark Moon Forest. I still remember that I found this bracelet not far from the body of the Titan Ape, the king-level beast. At that time, someone was dealing with the Titan Ape's body. I remember this clearly and I can't be wrong!"
"Where did you find it? I got it! Thank you! I, Bai Weiwei, will reward you handsomely later!" After saying that, without waiting for Niu Erhu to say anything else, Bai Weiwei turned around and ran away anxiously.
"Miss Bai! You are our benefactor's fiancée! It would be too formal to say thank you!" Niu Erhu shouted to Bai Weiwei who was leaving.
Zhen Li nodded to the two of them with a slightly apologetic look, then chased after Bai Weiwei.
"Lao Zhang! What happened?"
"I don't know either! It should be related to President Li Weiyi!"
"There is still no news about President Li. I hope he will be blessed by good fortune!"
"Now that the threat from the Dark Moon Forest has been eliminated, the survival bases around us can be said to be peaceful from now on. President Li should be credited with the greatest credit!"
"He saved tens of millions of people. He is a great hero of our humanity! Let us pray for President Li together! I hope he can come back safely!"
"good!"
…
At this time, Bai Weiwei's car was about to drive out of the survival base. Her destination, of course, was the battlefield .
"Weiwei! Don't worry! Your Wei will be fine! Who knows, the bracelet might have been dropped by him accidentally when he was fighting?" Zhen Li comforted her with concern.
"Lili! I feel that something really happened to him!" Bai Weiwei was driving the car with tears rolling in her eyes.
“Weiwei!…”
Zhen Li wanted to comfort Bai Weiwei again, but at this moment Bai Weiwei's communicator suddenly rang.
“Beep, beep, beep…!”
Bai Weiwei looked at the communicator on her wrist and saw that it was a communication request from Li Weiyi's mother Zhang Xiaoxia, so she slowed down the car and slowly stopped by the roadside.
"Could it be that Weiyi has returned? Is his communicator broken again? So he used my aunt's communicator to contact me?" Bai Weiwei answered the call with a nervous but expectant mood.
However, as soon as Bai Weiwei answered the communicator, she heard Zhang Xiaoxia crying from the other end. Bai Weiwei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her expectant and anxious mood disappeared.
“Weiwei! Wuwu…the only one…the only one…wuwuwu…”
Hearing Zhang Xiaoxia's grief-stricken voice coming from the communicator, Bai Weiwei's heart was suddenly gripped, and the tears in her eyes instantly slid down!
"Weiwei! Wuwu!... What do you think I should do? What should I do?... Wuwu!..."
Bai Weiwei wiped her tears, but no matter how hard she wiped, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Auntie! Don't worry, I'll be there soon!" Bai Weiwei hung up the phone with sobs, turned the car around, and rushed to Li Weiyi's home as fast as possible.
Ten minutes later, Bai Weiwei arrived at Li Weiyi's home.
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Weiwei saw that in addition to Li Weiyi's parents, there were four other people, namely Speaker Liu Longshan and his secretary Wu Hao, the association's branch director Lu Hong and the association's internal affairs manager Qi Feng. She had met all these people before.
The reason why Qi Feng was able to travel thousands of miles from Survival Base No. 2 to Survival Base No. 7 within a few hours was entirely due to the association's only fighter jet that burned aviation fuel and traveled at nearly ten times the speed of sound.
After nodding to a few people, Bai Weiwei quickly walked to Zhang Xiaoxia's side.
Zhen Li came in behind Bai Weiwei, closed the door gently, and stood aside.
At this time, Li Tianhai was hugging Zhang Xiaoxia, patting her shoulders to comfort her, and it was obvious that there were traces of tears on Li Tianhai's face.
"Xiaoxia! Weiwei is here!" Li Tianhai patted Zhang Xiaoxia and said.
Zhang Xiaoxia raised her head and saw that it was Bai Weiwei. She immediately stood up and hugged Bai Weiwei.
"Wuwu! Weiwei! He is the only one who will never come back! He will never come back again! Wuwu! What do you think I should do? What should I do? " Zhang Xiaoxia cried in grief.
"Auntie! What's going on! Wuuwu! Why can't he...he come back? Wuuwu!..." Bai Weiwei could no longer stop her tears at this point, and she hugged Zhang Xiaoxia and started crying.
"I don't know either! Wuuu! I don't know! Wuuu! Why can't my only child come back? Wuuu!" Zhang Xiaoxia now has only endless sadness in her heart and has forgotten everything.
"Weiwei! The association's chief steward Qi Feng sent us a satellite image. In the image, Weiyi has perished together with the Titan ape!" Li Tianhai said with a gloomy look.
"Video! Yes! Video! Wuuwu! That's the only one left! Wuuwu!" Zhang Xiaoxia cried and climbed up from Bai Weiwei's body. After calming down a little, she choked up and said to Qi Feng, "Manager Qi, please play the only video again."
"Okay!" Qi Feng nodded with a heavy heart, turned on the projection device he carried with him, and the image was projected directly onto the opposite wall.
In the video, the scene of Li Weiyi falling from the sky with his eyes closed appeared again. The moment Li Weiyi's body hit the ground, the video was disconnected again.
