Lawless Gangster

Chapter 33

◙ ◙ ◙ 

As far as Qi Xiu Yuan is concerned, this was a dark day.

Once Xiao Li dropped him off at home, he didn't bother to change out of his clothes and immediately fell asleep on the bed. By the time he woke up, all he felt was the numbness consuming his limbs, his empty stomach, and that Susu was not home again. Without any other option, he could only find something small to fill his stomach.

During the afternoon, he dragged his pale, sickly face and wounded body to school. Within minutes, a colleague that was directly under the headmaster, showed some "concerns" to him; mainly saying that he was too young to be absent for so many times, then urged him to be wholeheartedly devoted to his work, as well as not to get mixed up in any chaotic matters. He had nearly said that he doesn't have any proper ethic as a teacher. Qi Xiu Yuan calamitously moved his aching feet to class only to find out that two students did not complete their assignments. After class, he angrily hauled those two students to his office and lectured them; it was only after he attentively watched them complete their math assignments did he allowed them to return home.

By now, his hunger had brought about an unbearable stomachache; even the wounds on his body sored with an unyielding pain.

Once 8 o'clock rolled by, his heart was welcomed by the most powerful phone call.

Xiao Yang's voice was overwhelmed with an extremely unusual sense of panic and confusion.

"Qi dage, do you know where Xiao Li went?"

"What happened?"

Qi Xiu Yuan who had just leaned against the sofa to recuperate, immediately jumped up, nearly twisted his waist.

"Today, he......he transferred a lot of money under my name......" Xiao Yang's voice started to tremble. "It was a lot of money......it's practically all his assets......I gave him a call and no one picked up. I...don't know how to find him......"

"Cool your head first!" Qi Xiu Yuan held his waist, mentally beckoning the pain that seared to go away while saying, "Those subordinates that are close to him, the ones like Lin Zi and so on, do you have their phone numbers?"

"No, I don't. Why would I have their phone number!" Xiao Yang's speech quickened, "Xiao Li had given me two phone numbers before, saying that if something urgent came up and I couldn't find him, I can look for those two people. Why would I save those kind of people's phone numbers! But, now I......I......when he took me back home today, he touched my head......he hasn't touched my head for a long time now......" his voice lowered, "Qi dage, tell me, did he went to look for Han Jia?"

Qi Xiu Yuan went silent for a moment before asking, "Xiao Yang, you really don't know where Han Jia is?"

"I know where it is. I heard that man Da Gui mention it." Xiao Yang's voice lowered even more, "I told Xiao Li I didn't know because I was afraid he would run there and get into a fight with those people. But even now, he still silently disappeared......"

"Where is he?" Qi Xiu Yuan sighed, "Tell me, I'll think of something."

After letting the call go, Qi Xiu Yuan paced around the house for a while. He noticed that during these two days, his health was worsening from extreme exhaustion and the wounds that were drawn on him.

Finally, he sat down on the sofa and picked up his cell phone. His brows drew together tightly while he stared at it for a moment before he looked for that person's name and number.
