The black-robed man respectfully called out to the person, “Master Qing.”

“All of you may leave,” the man said in a low voice.

“Yes, sir!”

All the men in black quickly disappeared from his sight.

Mu Ling had already noticed the man from the corner of her eye. The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his cold face was clear and firm, very pleasing to the eye. His eyebrows were like swords, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line. He exuded a dangerous and powerful aura. His tall and straight figure was exceptionally dazzling under the sun, like a noble knight from the middle ages. His temperament was noble and cold, attractive and at the same time, it made people feel fear.

A tall figure appeared behind Mu Ling, and her heart trembled. She never thought that he would find her so quickly!

The man walked to the sofa opposite her and sat down. He crossed his long legs and looked at Mu Ling playfully. His thin lips opened slightly. “Little girl, we meet again.”

His voice was magnetic and full of temptation.

Mu Ling’s expression remained the same, and she smiled, “Yup! Uncle, we meet again.”

“Did they scare you when they brought you here?” The man asked.

“A little, but it’s still okay.”

“They were indeed a little reckless,” the man said.

“It’s fine, uncle. It looks like your injuries are almost healed,” Mu Ling replied.

“Yeah, thanks to you,” the man chuckled.

“You’re welcome,” Mu Ling smiled faintly.

She was so obedient, so obedient. Even in the face of a man who was so much older than her, she was not afraid at all.

The man stared at her with interest and said, “The situation on the ship was critical that night, so I didn’t have time to introduce myself. My name is Zuo Qing.”

Everyone in the business circle of Jing city knew this name. Zuo Qing, the second young master of the Zuo family, one of the four big families in Jing city, was decisive and ruthless. He was one of the people who couldn’t be provoked in Jing city. People called him “master Qing.” At the age of 27, he was firmly in the position of the head of the Zuo’s group. He was powerful, handsome, and rich. There were countless women who wanted to climb into his bed, but he never had a single woman by his side. There wasn’t even any news about him. Because according to the rumors, he didn’t get close to women, and he was “impotent”!

Mu Ling nodded obediently and remembered his name. Her judgment was correct. He was a member of the Zuo family.

Zuo Qing was a little disappointed to see that the little girl didn’t react when she heard her name. He had thought that he would be able to see a little surprise or awe in the little girl’s eyes. In the end, there was nothing.

However, on second thought, the little girl had been living on the island all this time, so it was normal that she didn’t know his name.

“Uncle, you already know my name. I told you that night, my name is Mu Ling,” Mu Ling said.

Zuo Qing “yes, I know. You attended my father’s funeral in Lianjing city. You’re Mu Jingwen’s daughter.

“Uncle, you investigated me?” Mu Ling raised her eyebrows.

“I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble if you could contact me,” said Zuo Qing with a helpless smile.

He had left his phone number with her and had been waiting for her call. Even if he only wanted a sum of money for the treatment. Then, he waited for an entire day.

Mu Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She didn’t have a phone!

But in fact, after Zuo Qing’s investigation, there was still very little information about Mu Ling. He only knew that she was Mu Jingwen’s illegitimate daughter and that she was abandoned on Jingyun Island. He thought that her older aunt was taking care of her, and that she had only returned to Jing city because of Mu Jingwen’s sudden death.

The rest of the information was blank!

Mu Ling pointed at the little white flower on her chest. “Uncle, you knew I was going to attend the funeral. Why did you bring me here? ” she asked. “Don’t you think you should send me back? The funeral is about to begin and I have to be there. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it.”

Zuo Qing stared at her beautiful eyes and suddenly said seriously, “I can send you back, but you have to return my things to me, little girl.”

Mu Ling, “Huh? What’s that?”

“A coin with a lion’s head,” Zuo Qing said.

Mu Ling blinked and said with clear eyes, “A coin with a lion head? That sounds scary.”

Still playing dumb!

Zuo Qing wasn’t angry. Instead, he liked how she was acting like a pig to eat a tiger. It gave him the pleasure of playing a game between experts. He wanted to see what kind of person this little girl was.

“What a naughty little thief. Stop messing around and give me back my things.” This was the first time Zuo Qing had been so patient with someone else.

If it was someone else, he would have shot them dead long ago!
