As for that Mu Qing… Mu Qingyu couldn’t pinpoint it. When Mu Qingyu saw her similar features, she felt a little uncomfortable. It was strange. She had never had any contact with the other party, so why would she feel such an inexplicable dislike?

Thinking about the deadline the director had just mentioned, Mu Qingyu still decided to ask Madam Wu when Shen Jingmo would return. Don’t ask her why she didn’t contact Shen Jingmo herself. If asked, Mu Qingyu wouldn’t give in! Unless Shen Jingmo took the initiative to contact her, she would not make the first move!

The show premiered at the start of the subsequent month. Mu Qingyu looked at the date and saw that there was less than half a month left. She didn’t know if it would delay the progress, but the comic was almost at the end. She might as well use these 10 days to close up and finish her work.

At MY Group’s headquarters, Wu Meixiang held the phone in her hand with some displeasure. The busy tone on the other end was heard over and over again, and no one answered. She didn’t know how many calls she had made to Shen Jingmo over the past few days, but who knew that this brat wouldn’t answer a single one?! He had run off to some place to seek peace again!

Shen Jingmo had this habit since he was young. Whenever he was unhappy, he would hide and not see anyone. Once he grew up, he learned more reasonable excuses to avoid it. He would shut down all his communication devices and head to a place far away from Yan City and deal with those tricky cases.

These people and things were mostly outside of the law. In the Nine States, the Shen family could do nothing to them on the surface. As a former special force soldier of the secret force, Young Master Shen knew too well how to ‘freeload’ in a legal way.

In fact, Madam Wu had seriously prohibited him a long time ago from getting involved. It was because most of the people Shen Jingmo had to personally deal with were desperate scums who had lost their morals while being blinded by greed. It was too risky to come into contact with them.

However, this little brat always used the excuse of going on a business trip to do those extremely dangerous things behind her back! Every time he returned, Shen Jingmo would bring back a huge amount of profit and a body full of injuries.

This time, when she couldn’t contact him, Wu Meixiang knew that he had put himself in danger again!

Nancheng was located on the border of the Nine States, near the dark and chaotic Golden Triangle. The Shen family’s jewelry business had close ties with this place.

Before Shen Jingmo left, Wu Meixiang had confirmed with Li Da several times that her son had gone to see the land with the Fu family’s son. However, now that she thought about it, what land in the South City required Shen Jingmo to see it personally? Madam Wu clearly remembered that the Shen family had lost a large number of orders for raw stones half a year ago. At that time, Shen Jingmo’s behavior was ordinary, so she thought that he had forgotten about it. This time, he was probably going there because of this!

Madam Wu didn’t say where Shen Jingmo went. She only told Mu Qingyu that he would occasionally have some special business trips that required him to personally handle. She also told Mu Qingyu to try to contact Shen Jingmo.

In the living room, Mu Qingyu’s intuition told her that she couldn’t know the truth about these ‘special’ matters. Since Madam Wu didn’t explain clearly, she tactfully didn’t ask further. However, Shen Jingmo didn’t answer the phone…

Mu Qingyu’s brows slightly furrowed as she looked at the name ‘Mr. Shen’ on her phone screen. She then tried to call him. As expected, the other side did not pick up. Perhaps it was because he was busy. Mu Qingyu didn’t want to disturb him and decided to try calling him again later.

At South City.

Young Master Shen, who had the habit of turning off his phone, would actually carry an old phone with him. Everyone in this contacts list could not be contacted in public. He had indeed come to Nancheng with Fu Heng, but they parted ways after getting off the plane.

Madam Wu was half right. He was indeed here to look at the land. Taking back the order was just a matter of convenience.

To Shen Jingmo, the South City was a place he could not be more familiar with. There were many criminal leaders here. In fact, more than half of them had come into contact with him in his previous mission.

The heavens were high and the emperor was far away. The hands from the other end of Yan City could not reach here. Arms, drugs, women, gold, silver, and jewelry—the industrial chain here was complicated and rampant.

On the second day of Shen Jingmo’s arrival in South City, Yu Yang followed him over eagerly. He remembered that there seemed to be a transparent peach-colored tourmaline in this batch of raw stones. That raw stone was massive and could be molded into a set of dazzling jewelry after processing.

Young Master Shen felt that the peach color matched his little wife’s red lips and white teeth, so he prepared to give her a peach-colored pendant.
