Chapter 24: Searching at the Construction Site

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After leaving the little white flower in the shop, Xia Xu went to the site where the old man might be.

A few days ago, because he had to go to class, he could only come here in the afternoon, but at night, because the surrounding public facilities had not been built yet, it was very remote and dark. It was not suitable to find someone.

This time, he planned to use another method by searching near the construction site as it was a weekend.

As a supporting character of «Person About to Die», the old man must have the supporting character’s destiny. His identity could be confirmed through the character status screen. If he was really a worker from a nearby construction site, he should be able to find him.

“What are you doing? Construction work is ongoing, don’t enter.”

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of a nearby construction site, Xia Xu was defeated. There was even a security guard at the entrance, blocking him from entering.

“I’m here to find a relative. Uncle, can you help me? Don’t worry, I won’t run around.”

Xia Xu begged him and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

“Then call your relative and ask him to come out and pick you up. Otherwise, you won’t even know when you will be smashed to death running around here headlessly. I can’t take up this responsibility.”

He didn’t expect the security guard to be so stubborn. He didn’t know if he didn’t like to smoke, but he just waved his hand and refused Xia Xu’s cigarette.

Xia Xu said helplessly, “Don’t, uncle, I don’t have his number, I only know that he’s in here…”

“Come on, kid, you’re still too young to be fooling me. Look at how proficient you are in your little suit. I’m afraid you are either selling insurance or cell phone cards.”

The security guard grinned with his mouth full of yellow teeth.

Several big telecom operators liked to promote their business. They liked to let a group of students go to places like construction sites to promote their promotion packages and this was something that was commonly seen.

“I…”

Facing the security uncle that had ‘seen through’ everything, Xia Xu was speechless. He couldn’t refute.

“Grandpa Liu, why don’t I take him in? I will watch him closely and not let him run around.”

Xia Xu was about to find another way when a crisp girl’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Little Xue, are you delivering food to your dad again?”

The strict old security guard immediately smiled when he heard this voice and his face became kind.

Xia Xu also turned his head. The person who spoke was a young girl with shoulder-length hair. She was wearing a school uniform and was holding a silver stainless steel lunch box.

Judging by her appearance, this girl should also be a high school student. She was about the same age as Tang Youxin. Although there was a huge gap between her appearance and that of the little white flower, her overall temperament was very similar. They were both petite and weak girls.

The difference was that Tang Youxin was more introverted, quiet, and pitiful, while this girl, who was called Little Xue by the security guard, was more lively and cheerful. Her smile was very sweet and even though she was average looking, she was already considered a beauty with this smile.

“Yeah, my mom has to work today, so I have to come again.”

Little Xue walked to the security booth with a smile. She turned her head and glanced at Xia Xu, then said to the security guard, “Grandpa Liu, you haven’t responded to me yet. I’ll take him in and promise not to let him run around.”

“Hey, okay, Little Xue, since you asked, of course it’s okay.”

If this security guard had a granddaughter, he would definitely have a granddaughter complex. When facing Little Xue, he smiled until his face was wrinkled. When he looked at Xia Xu again, he had a look of contempt on his face. “Go in, go in, don’t run around with Little Xue.”

“No problem, thank you uncle.”

Xia Xu was not annoyed. He thanked him instead.

After all, this was their responsibility. Not letting them in was their duty, but letting them in was a favor.

“Thank you.”

After following Little Xue into the construction site, Xia Xu thanked her.

“No need to thank me, it’s just a small favor.”

Little Xue smiled and said, “But don’t blame Grandpa Liu. He was afraid that you would get injured. Things at the construction site could easily drop on you. Something happened here a few days ago.”

“Understood, don’t worry, I’m not such a petty person. It’s already good enough for me to come in.”

Xia Xu nodded slightly.

“I’m going to deliver food to my dad. If you want to find someone, try to find them at the side. Don’t go near the scaffolding or the tower. It’s dangerous.”

Little Xue reminded worriedly before running towards a group of construction workers who were taking a break.

Xia Xu didn’t waste any time. He took advantage of the time when everyone was resting and eating to quickly check their attributes. He targeted the older ‘old men’, and the security guard at the door was naturally among them.

However, he also took a look at Little Xue’s attributes.

Name: Xia Xue

Lifeform Level: 1

Potential Destiny: Police (3 Stars)

Potential Talent: Trace Inspection (2 Stars)

Speciality: None

Obsession: Get into a good university.

Favorability: 30

“When I have a daughter in the future, I must name her Xia Bingbao.”

Xia Xu didn’t expect the girl to be from the same surname, so he couldn’t help ridiculing.

Many people with the surname Xia seemed to like the homophone ‘fall’, thus they have all kinds of names like snow fall, hail fall, rain fall.

However, the girl’s talent and destiny surprised him slightly. She was actually a future policewoman, and her talent was not low. A two-star trace inspection talent was very compatible with a police career. A three-star destiny was probably enough to become a big shot in the police force.

However, with Tang Youxin and Yang Bowen in front of him, a mere two-star talent was not enough to cause waves in his heart. He basically had no use for trace inspection, so he did not need to think about forging deep relationships.

Xia Xu moved his attention away from Xia Xue and continued to look at the attributes of the workers around him.

After all, the construction site was mainly occupied by young people. There were not many old construction workers, so it took not much effort to finish checking.

After confirming that he did not miss anything, Xia Xu left the construction site regretfully.

There was no sign of the construction site old man.

Fortunately, there were two construction sites nearby that hadn’t been checked yet. It wasn’t completely hopeless.

However, Xia Xu was smart this time. After thinking about it, he went to the nearby hardware store and bought a white plastic helmet before heading to the other two construction sites.

Sure enough, this kind of low-quality helmet, coupled with the suit he was wearing, had outstanding effects. Whether it was the security guards or the workers, they all seemed to treat him as if a young leader of a real estate company was commissioned to survey the site. Not only did they not stop him, but they were also polite.

“Heh, I don’t believe it. Did this old man really just pop out of the ground?”

After searching all three construction sites, Xia Xu’s face completely collapsed.

There was still no sign of the construction site old man.

According to his original guess, the old man at the construction site should be a plot twist, so the person selling antiques was likely a real old construction worker and the antiques should be real as well.

Since he was a construction worker, he must have come from the surrounding construction sites, so he was full of confidence when he came here today. He felt that he could find the old construction worker.

Unfortunately, he was slapped in the face by the truth. This meant that either he was wrong, or there was a problem with the sites he checked. These were likely not the places where the old man worked..
