Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

An Xiuhe carefully looked at each of Yu Ru's paintings, then picked out the one of her and asked, "Xiao Ru, is this a painting of me?"

Yu Ru nodded.

"Xiao Ru, how did you draw this?" An Xiuhe flipped through Yu Ru's drawings, looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "Have you memorized my appearance completely?"

Yu Ru nodded, "Everyone I want to draw will appear in front of me."

"You are really amazing, you are a little genius. I thought you didn't see what I look like clearly, but you can draw me based on your memory."

An Xiuhe praised Yu Ru without reservation and said, "Xiao Ru, your paintings are very good. I can tell who they are at a glance. You remember most of the places and the bad guys, right?"

Yu Ru nodded.

"That's great. There's a policeman working with me this time, and he's also great at drawing. As long as he wants to remember someone, he won't forget them, and he can draw them on paper. Xiaoru, maybe he can draw the place where your second father is based on the picture you described, and then we can find that place based on the drawing. What do you think? I'll go call the policeman over. But if you don't want too many people here, it's okay, I'll just communicate with you."

Yu Ru thought for a while and agreed to the proposal. But when Wen Zhuomo came in, her body trembled subconsciously, and she hurriedly hid in the corner with a knife. An Xiuhe had to give up her plan to communicate with Wen Zhuomo, and first sent a few paintings by Yu Ru to the next room for Wen Zhuomo to see.

"I was right about this child. The painting is so well done. You can tell at a glance who the painting depicts. It is easier to paint the skin than the bones. This child has even painted the bones of these people, which is really rare. She is definitely a rare genius that only comes once in a century. With her painting skills, she only needs to be trained a little bit and she will definitely become a famous figure in the future." Wen Zhuomo held a portrait in both hands and looked at it, looking very excited.

"Uncle Wen, you said before that there is no one to inherit your legacy. Is this child okay?" asked someone next to him.

"Yes, yes, this child is quite good." Wen Zhuomo stared at the painting in his hand and nodded repeatedly. "No, I have to let Xiaohe ask the child to see if she is willing to learn painting from me."

"I never expected it. I visited all the top art schools in the country and only found two students who could develop this ability, and they were just barely qualified. This kid, without any training, can draw right away. It's amazing. It's so rare that I met him. It's fate."

Wen Zhuomo believes that the development of the motherland will get better and better, and science and technology will become more and more advanced. In the future, the technology for tracking suspects will definitely be more diverse and accurate. However, there are some things that cannot be replaced by technology and still need to be done manually.

Since five years ago, he has been looking for someone to inherit his mantle. Whenever he has time, he goes to art colleges across the country to scout for talent.

At present, he is the only person in the country who is known to be engaged in criminal investigation. If he cannot train a successor before his death, and China does not have such a person to engage in related work, it will not be beneficial to the country and society in the future, and some special cases may become unsolved cases. He does not want to see such a thing happen.

However, he did not find a student with such talent in the art academy. The students in the top art academies have undoubted painting skills and artistic appreciation, but these are not enough to support criminal investigation work. After visiting the art academy, he went to the grassroots to visit students in rural primary schools in various places to take art classes. This trip allowed him to find a child with such talent.

Unfortunately, the child was a girl. She wanted to learn painting, but her family didn't take her seriously and refused to let her go, fearing that she would see more of the world and never go home. He originally wanted to bring the child with him to study, but her family disagreed, so he had to give up. Unexpectedly, he offered to sponsor the child to go to college and didn't need her as his apprentice, as long as she finished her studies well. However, her family refused and only wanted the child to drop out of school after junior high school.

Now knowing that Yu Ru had this ability, Wen Zhuomo was so excited that he temporarily forgot the purpose of this trip and was only thinking about how Yu Ru would take over his work in the future.

Yu Ru is also a genius with dual nature. Her brain is a natural database, and faces are imprinted in her memory after she has seen them several times. Her eyes are scanners, and no matter what color she uses, she can clearly distinguish between light and dark lines. It is a perfect combination. In his mind, a beautiful picture of Yu Ru solving cases like a god has already unfolded.

After looking at several paintings in his hand, he immediately asked An Xiuhe to ask Yu Ru's opinion, and also offered several conditions that would attract children to tempt Yu Ru.

Unexpectedly, Yu Ru raised the knife in his hand and returned to his initial state of extreme alertness and nervousness. "Why do you want to take me as your apprentice for no reason? And I think you are tempting me. Do you want me to do something bad?"

An Xiuhe raised his hands to show his surrender, "Xiaoru, don't get excited or scared. There is actually a big reason for this. I'll tell you."

Afterwards, she explained Wen Zhuomo's intention to Yu Ru.

Yu Ru asked back, "Is that what it means to be an official?"

"This..." An Xiuhe hesitated, "It can't be considered an official. This is just a job, a position, a position, but it gives you the opportunity to become an official."

"How much money do you make doing this? Can you use the 200,000 as pocket money?"

"No. Xiaoru, although the money you earn is not particularly much, if you do well, you can gain a lot of good reputation and everyone will admire you."

Yu Ru looked down at her legs and said gloomily: "I don't need others to admire me. I just want to make money. I need a lot of money. This way I can have money to treat my illness, there will be no quarrels in my family, and my father and mother won't have to work so hard. I don't want to be an official either. Being an official doesn't make a lot of money. Only corrupt officials can make money by doing bad things. I don't want to be a corrupt official."

The experience in the black factory destroyed Yu Ru's mind and regenerated it, making her mature ahead of time. She matured after a disaster, in the long night, on the way home with no end in sight, and at the most desperate moment of collapse. However, a person can make progress through hard work, but the suffering he endures should not exceed the psychological and physical limits that a person can bear. It was in this way that a twisted seed quietly took root and sprouted in Yu Ru's heart.

This thoughtful and worried child made An Xiuhe's eyes wet. "Xiao Ru...if you really become an official, you don't have to be a corrupt official. You can be a good official who serves the people. You may not make much money this way, but it will be enough to support you and your family, and you can also earn money for medical treatment."

"But I want to support more than just my family. I want a lot of money, enough to support a thousand people. Maybe 200,000 is enough, but it may not be enough. 200,000 doesn't seem to be a lot. Those big bosses can spend 500,000 in one night. Maybe 100 million is enough, so I want to make 100 million."

"Xiao Ru, who else do you want to feed? Who are those one thousand people?"

“It’s all the poor people in our country.”

"Many people in the coal mining area are idiots, and some are without hands and feet. They were kidnapped there because they had no jobs. If I had money, I would give those people without hands and feet a job so that they would not be cheated again, and then feed those idiots. If poor people can earn money to eat, they will not leave home, will not leave their children alone at home, and will not be kidnapped like me."

"Several thousand dollars are not enough to support four people. I want to support a thousand people. How much do you think I need?"

An Xiuhe stared at Yu Ru, her nose felt sore, and she burst into tears. Wen Zhuomo and others who were in another room also couldn't help wiping their tears.

Because of the topic of making money to support her family, Yu Ru started to talk more, gradually opening her heart and willing to talk more with An Xiuhe. However, the past was too heavy, and the conversation ended with Yu Ru being extremely emotional and being urgently rescued.

From that day on, Yu Ru could no longer speak in front of others and became a "mute".
