Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Early the next morning,

Liu Wei left all his affairs at home and rushed to the airport with his wife and children to fly to the United States.

The three of them were sitting in the VIP lounge waiting for their flight, and Liu Wei was particularly anxious.

Liu Chengtian didn't know the situation and just thought he was going on a trip. He sat next to Liu Wei and asked, "Dad, why are we going to the United States? Where are we going to play?"

Liu Wei didn't say anything, just scrolled through the overwhelming information on his phone. Something had happened to the largest company under his name, and in just a few days, the loss was close to 8 million. Now the company was in chaos, and everyone was looking for him.

"Dad, why are you ignoring me?" Liu Chengtian patted Liu Wei's arm.

Luo Huishan glanced at Liu Wei and saw that the atmosphere was not good. She put her hand around Liu Wei's back, reached out and pulled Liu Chengtian's clothes, shook her head, and warned him with her eyes not to speak again.

Liu Chengtian became even more excited. He knocked Luo Huishan's hand away and shook Liu Wei, "Dad, Dad..."

Liu Wei was already annoyed, and after being shaken by him, his emotions exploded. He raised his hand and slapped him, "Be quiet, it's all your fault. You caused me so much trouble. I'm so unlucky to have a son like you."

Liu Chengtian covered his face, his whole body was stunned. He looked at Liu Wei with some fear, not daring to speak anymore, and looked at Luo Huishan again.

"Xiaotian, your father beats you for your own good. You should reflect on yourself and be quiet." Luo Huishan said this and then turned her eyes away, no longer paying attention to Liu Chengtian.

……

Twenty hours later, Liu Wei and his family landed safely in the United States.

After settling in the hotel, the family of three went to a restaurant outside to eat.

On the first day after arriving in the United States, everything was fine. They spent the day peacefully. On the second day, the weather suddenly became bad. It was snowing, raining, and windy. The hair on their bodies was blown all over. It felt like the snowflakes were undergoing cell division, splitting into countless small snowflakes that flew with the wind and attacked people's pores precisely, making them feel cold deep into their bones. A gust of wind blew over, and every hair on their body was frozen stiff, and it was chilling.

There were almost no people on the road, but Liu Wei and his family were out.

Liu Wei has a friend who immigrated here. He plans to visit him today and ask him about housing in the United States. He has made up his mind and wants to immigrate here.

From the day he left the country until now, he had received so many messages on his phone that he could not bear to read them all. All the messages indicated that he absolutely could not return to the country at all costs, otherwise he would face only one situation, which was to be imprisoned.

His current situation is a bit awkward, and he has to settle down in the United States as soon as possible, so even though the weather is bad today, he still has to go out.

"Wei Ge'er, it's so cold. Why hasn't the reserved car arrived yet?" Luo Huishan asked.

"Wait a little longer." Liu Wei looked around and responded.

After the family of three waited there for a few minutes, a black car slowly stopped in front of them.

Seeing this, Liu Wei took the initiative to step forward and inquire about the situation.

"Hello, hello, uh...please wait a minute." (Hello, hello, please wait a minute.)

His English is not very good and he can only use a mobile phone translator to help communicate.

The person in the car was a sturdy white man, wearing a mask and a hat, so his face could not be seen clearly. He looked at Liu Wei, waiting for him to input the text that needed to be translated into his mobile phone. It seemed that he was a driver who came here specifically to pick up passengers, and now he was patiently waiting for the person in front of him who looked like he should be his passenger to translate the text.

The car this person was driving was not a taxi, and neither Liu Wei nor Luo Huishan noticed it.

They had never been to the United States before and didn't know much about it. They were accustomed to living in their home country and subconsciously thought that this place was the same as their home country.

After a moment, Liu Wei input the translation of what he wanted to say on his mobile phone, and then showed the phone to the white person in the car.

The white man looked at them, smiled and nodded, then said a bunch of words that Liu Wei and Luo Huishan couldn't understand. As he spoke, he waved at them, and the couple thought that this man was the driver they had booked, and quickly got into his car.

The family of three had not yet adapted to the time difference between the two countries and their heads were dizzy. Plus, they had been very busy during that period, so not long after getting in the car, the three of them fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, it was getting dark and Liu Wei woke up. He turned around and looked around, and saw Luo Huishan and Liu Chengtian were still sleeping.

The car had stopped and there was no one in the driver's seat. The surroundings were very quiet. They were now in a place that looked like a small forest. The air was filled with the smell of dampness, decay and grass. There was also a faint smell of earth that irritated the nose. There was a small wooden house next to them with the lights on.

"Shanshan, wake up." Liu Wei patted Luo Huishan on the shoulder.

"Hmm?" Luo Huishan woke up, but was still dazed, in a state of half awake and half asleep, with her eyes not fully open. "Are we there yet?"

"I don't know. I don't know where this place is. The driver is missing. We..."

As Liu Wei was talking, he looked around. When he turned around, he saw the driver standing outside the car window looking at them. His eyes were serious and eerie, even colder than the snow on the ground.

"Hello...uh..."

Liu Wei wanted to ask something, but the driver suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head.

Liu Wei subconsciously raised his hand, "Don't kill me, I...I can give you money."

The driver didn't listen to him and pulled the trigger.

As three gunshots rang out, blood splattered inside the car.

……

Seeing the mountain and the cloud court,

When Yu Ru woke up in the morning, she didn't even brush her teeth. The first thing she did after opening her eyes was to turn on the computer to check the information.

Her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and new windows appeared on the computer screen one after another. The window finally stopped on a window similar to a chat interface, which showed a photo, a bloody photo. The protagonists in the photo were Liu Wei's family. The heads of the three people were shot in the head, and their heads were covered with blood, like three puffs filled with silky chocolate sauce that were squeezed and burst.

Yu Ru clicked to enlarge the photo, saved it and transferred it to her phone, then quickly exited.

This short period of time was enough to stimulate her vision. She closed her eyes for a while, then opened them again, put her hands on the keyboard and typed. After sending a few messages to the person who sent her the photos, she immediately turned off the computer without caring whether the other party replied or not, and got up to brush her teeth.

There was a large mirror above the wash basin, so she could brush her teeth while looking at the mirror. Suddenly, she saw small spots of blood on the mirror, which gradually increased in number until they became strands, and the mirror seemed to be crying out tears of blood.
