C76

In the coffee shop.

At a table near the window, two men sat facing each other.

On one side was Murong Shaoyang, and on the other was his master.

Uncle Murong.

Although they called each other 'masters,' the truth was that ever since he graduated from the school, the two of them didn't have much interaction. Aside from the fact that they occasionally saw him at the old gentleman's side during missions, their hasty departure did not give them a chance to speak. It had actually been several years since he had sat across from her.

Murong Shaoyang drank another mouthful of coffee. He could already feel that it was hard for him to swallow the bitterness in his mouth, but Murong Shaoyang did not care about this, he only looked at the middle-aged man who was looking at him from time to time, especially when he was drinking coffee with him.

Therefore, he could not afford to lose.

Murong Shaoyang frowned, he exerted a little more strength and the coffee flew down his throat, but he was still able to endure it when it came to his mouth. However, in his throat, the process of swallowing the coffee was extremely long and unbearable.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

"Is it hard?"

Murong Shaoyang could roughly guess why Uncle Murong came to find him, but he would not take the initiative to ask before the other party opened their mouths.

Finally, Uncle Murong drank his last mouthful of coffee and was ready to speak.

Mu Jinxi circled and circle by circle on the street, stopping dozens of people to ask about it, but still got the same answer.

"I don't know."

"I'm not sure."

"Never heard of it."

After receiving the same answer for the thirtieth time, Mu Jinxi had already turned her doubt towards confirmation.

The address in his hand, which was said to have been obtained through the hands and connections of many people, was completely fake.

Furthermore, she even believed him and came all the way here to find that so called Murong Shaoyang's good friend.

No one nearby had heard of his name, nor had they heard of any Murong’s, any big incident, any Murong Shaoyang etc, looking at the faces of those who were questioned, wondering or shocked, Mu Jinxi started to suspect, maybe he was already no longer in this world.

Murong Shaoyang was the only one who would foolishly believe that he was still alive in this world, and the only thing that he needed from the two brothers in question was to find the truth behind's grievance. In order to repay the two brothers, as soon as Mu Jinxi became hot headed, she immediately swore in their stead without even thinking, and agreed to fulfill their only wish of the boss.

Now, however, after going through several circles and asking quite a few people, he didn't find any clues at all. He was still drenched in sweat and his feet were almost too tired to walk anymore, so the woman sitting on a stone chair by the side of the road started to retreat.

However, when she thought about how she couldn't do it even if she agreed to it, and how the two brothers would definitely reveal expressions of disappointment when she returned to the ward with such disappointing news, she felt like she was about to find a hole to hide in.

Thinking about the two brothers who were injured because of him and were still in a plaster cast, being unable to repay their debt of gratitude, Mu Jinxi felt that it was impossible for him to not accomplish this task.

If you owe someone, you will definitely find a way to pay them back. For example, the old teacher might not be able to owe them too much, or else it would be hard for them to continue doing this. But Mu Jinxi was different from the old man, so the old man, who wholeheartedly wanted his daughter to inherit her clan, started to teach his daughter this principle from a young age.

However, there was now a big problem. The latter possessed countless number of people who worked for him, an unshakeable position and a pile of countless property. The former was merely a person who wanted to leave that kind of life as soon as possible.

It was only now that Mu Jinxi started to regret her decision. If not for the fact that the old man had betted on her willfulness as she ran out to argue with him, perhaps she could still use her old man's power now.

Now, what was so difficult about it? Small difficulties had turned into thousands of difficulties.

"Hai." Mu Jinxi sighed helplessly. What should she do now?

Ah, yes.

Suddenly, a name flashed through her mind. She picked up her cell phone and dialed that number.

The driver that the old man sent to him was someone he trusted very much. Since the old man wanted him to get close to the old man to scout, this should work.

Mu Jinxi couldn't help but praise her intelligence as someone quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Miss, do you need me to help you with anything? "

He didn't expect that such a gloomily dressed person would become so jovial after not seeing him for so long. His first sentence was both polite and funny.

Mu Jinxi could not help but raise the corner of her mouth, pretending to be naughty as she replied, "There is no need to be nervous, I only wanted to find you to take care of some matters, I wonder if I have the time to resolve the problem?"

"I dare not, I dare not. My master has ordered me to do something. I have to go forward and do it. I will not hesitate to climb the mountain of fire and die for all eternity …"

"Alright, alright." Mu Jinxi quickly interrupted the chattering and started to explain her intentions for calling, but the moment she opened her mouth, she immediately hesitated. After all, she was someone who could be trusted by this old man's side, and it would not be easy for him to agree to her request.

"Hai." Thinking that her hope would be shattered once again, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but sigh.

When the person on the other side heard this, he could not help but change his serious tone and ask, "Miss, do you have any worries? Shall I tell the old gentleman? "

"Don't! "Please don't!" When Mu Jinxi heard this, she quickly rejected it. Then, she quickly added, "You absolutely cannot let this old man know, otherwise, I will lose this bet."

"Bet?" the other side asked doubtfully.

"Ah!" Mu Jinxi hurriedly covered her mouth, and realized that she had blurted out something that she shouldn't have. She stood up and walked a few steps forward, and Mu Jinxi laughed dryly as she randomly changed the topic, "Ah, what a boring joke. By the way, I don't know your name yet. "

"Miss, you can call me Ang." The other party did not pursue the matter any further.

"So it's like that, Ang …" Mu Jinxi called his name, and it seemed like he would not be able to think of a topic to talk to for a while.

"Miss, why don't I go and find you? If there's anything that nobody can help you with, tell me, perhaps I can help you." Mu Jinxi lowered his head and thought about it.

"Mm …" "Then come and pick me up."

"Okay, miss, please wait here for half an hour. I will be there soon. It's the same car as last time."

"Mm …"

After that, Mu Jinxi hung up, but not long after, she suddenly thought of something, she did not seem to have told the Ang her location! How could he find him in half an hour?

Mu Jinxi sighed and sat on the stool she had sat on just now. After looking at his phone for a while, only five minutes had passed, she then raised his eyes to look at the various houses around him, and then looked at the note in her hand that was drenched in sweat.

The person who sold the information to him had to make sure that the address on the slip of paper was real in front of him. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to be lying, Mu Jinxi raised her hands to make picture frames and played with the house in front of him a few times, it really wasn't poor at all. The houses in this place were either made of brick or stone, and the roofs were even made of tiles to protect them from wind and rain.

However, all of these were things that Mu Jinxi should not be paying attention to, and it gave her a new suspicion. Did the people who were previously studying in the Murong’s really have to live in seclusion in these places?

'Forget it, I'm not sure if this is the real address. 'She thought about it for no reason.

Mu Jinxi retracted her hands and sighed, then began to wait in boredom.

After an unknown period of time, a seemingly expensive car drove into the city's poorest slums …

A few pedestrians noticed that they were whispering as they followed the car. Gradually, more and more people joined the crowd.

Finally, the car stopped in this narrow space, and the driver of the car came down, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his shoes polished to the point where he could only be seen on some television channels. He locked the car and walked for several minutes before respectfully saying to the man on the stone bench, "Miss."

The onlookers only saw the sweating woman on the stone bench stand up. She lowered her head to look at the cell phone screen in her hand and then slightly said to the elegant man, "You're on time." The man slightly bent his waist and said to her, "Thank you for your praise, Miss. As the driver, we are not allowed to be late. I'm glad that Miss is satisfied with my punctual performance."

This man who looked like a rich man was actually just a driver, then how rich was this person called 'Miss'? He didn't know how much the family owed her, but they actually needed the Miss herself to ask for the debt. Thus, the crowd started to discuss.

Ang was the first to walk in front of her, avoiding the crowd around her. She respectfully bowed and made a inviting gesture, "Miss, please." With a courteous appearance, Mu Jinxi stepped forward. Just as she was about to take the second step, she suddenly heard the spectators say this.

"Ah, why are all the people nowadays like this? "It's not like I don't know the current situation of his family, and is even coming here to chase after his debts every day. Look at all of you, all of you are rich and of all kinds of fancy clothes.
