Chapter 224 Lost Younger Brother 9_1
"Mother, I feel terrible. Although I’m not very fond of Tuanzi, he is after all a part of me. Most importantly, Bao’er loves him!" Mrs. Xia’s heart felt as if it were being sliced with a knife at the thought of her daughter’s most cherished younger brother gone.
"Mother, Sister, we will definitely find Tuanzi!" Aunt Lin said, trying to comfort her as well.
The men of the household, as well as Xia Ningxing, had all gone out to search for clues, while grandmother and Aunt Lin consoled Mrs. Xia and took care of her postnatal period, worrying that if she didn’t recover properly, she would be too weak to rejoice when Tuanzi was found.
Meanwhile, Lu Tingli stood on the balcony of the room, took out a large mobile phone, and dialed a number.
Once the call connected, he spoke indifferently, "I’ve already agreed to your request... What about the whereabouts of the child we agreed on? Have you found anything?"
Some time ago, he had wanted to purchase a plot of land in Capital City; however, the plot belonged to the head of an institute, who refused to sell it to him at any cost. So, he had simply sent half of an airplane upgrade blueprint to him as a way to get the land.
In those days, Star Shine Country’s technological development was slow, and they had to rely on imports for everything. As soon as the head saw the blueprint, he immediately contacted Lu Tingli, not only generously offering the land for free but also inviting him to join the institute to research various top-secret matters not to be mentioned in this narrative.
But Lu Tingli hadn’t agreed. He enjoyed scientific research indeed but disliked being restricted. However, now, to help the young lady find Tuanzi, he had agreed to join the institute.
One mustn’t underestimate the institute, especially since the head was a personal guard of one of the most powerful figures in Star Shine Country, with significant backing. If the head was willing to help, there was no one who couldn’t be found.
