Chapter 938 - To Live Together

938 To Live Together
Although still frightened, the cab driver quickly regained his senses.
Witnessing the situation, Helian Wei Wei chuckled lightly and began,
We already have a place to stay, but we still don’t know how to arrange our itinerary.

The taxi driver heard this and swiftly replied,
I know a good travel agency, you’re a family of four so traveling on your own will be tedious. Instead, it’ll be so much more convenient to join a travel tour. It’s only 150 per person for one day, where you get to visit two destinations and transportation is included.


Oh? That doesn’t sound too bad.
Helian Wei Wei’s eyes lit up and she broke into a grin.
Which travel agency is this? We’ll take a look when we have time.

The taxi driver was very accommodating.
It’s right around the corner, I can take you there later. Thing is, you booked the wrong homestay, it’s in the North Gate, while the South Gate is the most well-known. Shall I recommend another homestay for you? It’s 80 per day, I’m sure it’s much cheaper than the one you’ve booked.


There’s no need. The one we booked is a family-featured room, the kids like it.
Helian Wei Wei sounded like she was engaged in a casual chat.
However, Little Qingchen knew that, given Pretty Wei Wei’s personality, she would never have small talk with other people.
The taxi driver did not pressure them and kept a smile on his face. He seemed helpful and warm.
The traveling agency is right up front, you can have a look at their schedules, and if you like it, I can pick you guys up tomorrow.


You can pick us up? Do drivers pick up tourists too?
Helian Wei Wei raised her brow.
The taxi driver responded with a laugh.
We’re from the same company, we fetch tourists for free. Don’t worry, everything is legal, and if you don’t want me to send you, you can hire a car at the specified car-hiring spot. I just feel that you might face some problems since you’re staying at the North Gate.

Helian Wei Wei’s lips parted into a smile, but she remained silent. She alighted the car and saw the local traveling agency in front of them. It looked credible and they specialized in travel groups.
Many people were purchasing tickets inside and the prices were rather reasonable.
Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts had been occupied ever since she stepped into the travel agency. According to Young Master Tang’s documents, it was vaguely mentioned that the missing university student had registered herself at this travel agency before.
This person had been missing for a long time, so it was safe to assume there was not an optimistic outcome for a case like this.
It’s just, why did she go missing?
And where did she go missing?
These mysteries remained unsolved.
The people in Li City gave the simple explanation that nowadays, many university students want low-budget vacations, so many of them just go missing unintentionally. Some avoided paying for tickets and used shortcuts to cut through a hill only to never emerge again.
Yes, these explanations were plausible.
These scenarios were likely to have happened.
However, Helian Wei Wei grew more and more puzzled, as this missing university student was not a low-budget traveler. Although she booked a youth tour, her room was fully featured so the price was not cheap. Furthermore, she had arrived directly by plane and had even booked a group tour. So based on all these facts, these kinds of accidents should not have happened to her.
The university student’s family held the same thought, so they kept on badgering Li City to give an acceptable answer.
They did give an explanation, but it was far more infuriating than the first one.
It was mostly about how the girl had been enamored after arriving at Li City, so she wanted to have a sweet relationship but ended up getting trafficked, et cetera.
The mainland had always been like this, where not many people respected women.
All the bullsht a girl had to put up with.
If a lady dressed up at night, they would pass it off as a consensual relationship. After all, she must be asking for it.
To hell with the consensus.
A girl dresses up to please herself. So why on earth does a pretty girl have to deal with all this fckery?
When Helian Wei Wei found out about this excuse, she tightly clenched the documents in her hands. This further drove her determination to crack this case to its core.
She could empathize with the girl’s family, as no mother would want her daughter to be slandered like that.
Her daughter was clearly the victim, yet people still sullied her name like this even after this unfortunate incident. Even the explanations given were so pathetic.
Helian Wei Wei lost her mother when she was just a child, so when she read about a mother who commuted tirelessly between Li City and Beijing just to seek answers about her daughter, Helian Wei Wei made up her mind right away that she must give her the perfect closure she deserved, even though the truth might hurt her more.
However, Helian Wei Wei was aware that sometimes, as a mother you just want to know what truly happened to your daughter.
As she pondered this, Helian Wei Wei shut her eyes. When she opened them again, they sparkled with renewed determination. Before she could even arrive at the travel agency counter, an enthusiastic tour guide stopped her to offer any help she might need.
Since they were now tourists, they had to inquire about popular destinations. Luckily, Helian Wei Wei was very straightforward and with no more than two to three questions, she was done with the inquiry. She did not waste a minute more.
The tour guide patiently answered all her questions.
After Helian Wei Wei was satisfied, she replied,
Let me think about it. I’ll contact you if I’m interested tomorrow.


Sure, no problem. Here, please take my business card.
The tour guide handed his card to Helian Wei Wei and greeted the driver as they exited, making it clear that they were acquainted.
The taxi driver glanced at Helian Wei Wei from his rearview mirror as he spoke,
What did I tell you, we’re all from the same company, everything’s totally proper, don’t worry about it.

Only Helian Wei Wei had alighted to obtain information, while the two children and His Highness remained seated in the car, paying absolutely no attention to a single word the driver spouted.
It was only when they reached their accommodation that Baili Shangxie finally gave the driver an ominous grin as if he was a meal ready to be devoured.
When Baili Jia Jue saw this, it clicked to him that it was about time his elder son got hungry. He picked the small child up and said in a cold tone,
You want to eat everything, where are your manners?

The driver thought the child wanted the bread in his car thus he shook his head and chuckled. Then, he turned his head to face Helian Wei Wei and told her to contact him when they had made up their minds, so that he could fetch them tomorrow morning at eight o’clock.
Helian Wei Wei replied with a succinct
Okay.

After this, the driver started his engine, preparing to drive off.
Little Qingchen looked on from the sidelines and condescendingly shook his small head, thinking, If you don’t leave now, the only thing left of you would be a corpse.
What an ignorant driver, to dare ask the family of four to book a group tour.
He could picture the fiasco that tomorrow would bring.
He must prepare more chocolates so he had a snack to munch on as he watched everything play out.
Meanwhile, Baili Shangxie was not the least bit bothered by his food’s escape as he coolly turned around to clutch Little Qingchen’s hand in his. In the elder child’s mind, taking care of his younger brother was more important than food…
