Chapter 423 Three years ago, married
eng Yaqing waved away Lin Miao angrily and cursed, "You useless wretch! If it weren't for you, my face wouldn't be hurt!"Lin Miao couldn't help but retort: "What does it have to do with me I've alread...After a day of repair work, Mu Xing took off his gloves and walked out of the repair room.
This is Jiang Yan's newly opened studio, which combines office, living and leisure.
Jiang Yan was still working overtime in the next-door repair room, Mu Xing poured a glass of red wine, picked up her phone and walked to the balcony, sitting down in the swing chair.
The white fingertips of her hand traced across the phone screen, the chat window with the private investigator still displayed the image she had sent him earlier that morning.
Mu Xing flipped out the private detective's number and dialed it.
The phone rang half the time, and then was answered, "Miss Gu."
Hearing the private detective’s slightly awkward voice, Mu Xing nonchalantly raised her lip corner, “You’re not even going to take the money I offered This is quite willful of you, isn’t it”
“Money is important, of course, but you need to be alive to spend it.”
The private detective was helpless.
She told him to investigate no one else, but the infamous "Living閻王" of the imperial capital.
Three years ago, it swept across the international business arena with lightning speed. In just one year, it gained control of the global economic lifeline and was truly a big shot.
This formidable figure possesses a sinister nature and employs ruthless, cruel tactics. Just looking at his portrait sends chills down one's spine and shakes the very soul!
Look, don't push your luck!
Mu Xing swayed her crystal wine glass, languidly asking, "I only need basic information. Is that so difficult"
It's not difficult, it's common knowledge, but he just doesn't dare to say it. If Miss Gu offends that big shot, he'll definitely be in hot water!
Before hanging up the phone, the private investigator kindly reminded: "Miss Gu, I'm afraid there isn't a private investigator in the Imperial Capital who dares to take your case. That person is not someone to be easily provoked. We ordinary people should just stay away."
To provoke
If it's talking about provoking, he was the one who provoked her first.
She only wanted to help him cure his eyes and resolve the obsession in her heart.
Mu Xing gently brought the crystal goblet to her lips, taking a sip of the crimson liquid. Her beautiful eyes looked lightly at the man's portrait on her phone.
My thoughts, yet uncontrollable, were being devoured little by little by those deep-set eyes...
Jiang Yan walked out of the repair room and immediately saw on the balcony, a girl sitting in a swing chair with a glass of red wine, staring at her phone in a daze.
A gentle breeze rustled the black skirt.
The glorious sunset cast dazzling colors upon her, and her delicate side profile was bathed in a soft halo, like a holy painting.
Ginger looked at her with admiration for a moment, then walked to her side.
On her phone was a portrait of a man. He recognized it at once; it was a painting by his junior sister.
"Isn't this Fu Lingxiao Little Smoke, what are you drawing him for"
Ginger Ink was both puzzled and surprised.
Since getting to know my younger sister, I've never seen her give any man a second glance. In fact, she doesn't even bother to differentiate between genders.
Now I actually hand-painted a portrait of a man, and I'm just staring at it. It's unbelievable.
Mu Xing came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly as she looked at Jiang Yan, "Do you know him"
"Master Fu from the Imperial Capital, should no one know about it"
Even before he arrived in the capital, he knew about this bigwig. However, Xiaoyan has always been abroad and doesn't seem very interested in the outside world, which is understandable.
The Emperor's Husband...
Originally, its reputation was so big.
It seems like hiring a private investigator was overkill.
Mu Xing's eyes lifted slightly, "Tell me more."
"The helm of the Fu Group, the world's richest man, I only know that much. I haven't looked into anything else. All in all, he's a really amazing person."
Jiang Yan thought of the rumors circulating outside and worried that Mu Xing would develop an interest in Fu Lingxiao. She added, “By the way, he's already married. He publicly announced his marital status three years ago, which caused quite a stir at the time.”
Mu Xing could easily hear the meaning behind Jiang Yan's words. She leaned back in the hammock, lazily glancing at him, "He's not as cute as that Si Long Fang Zun."
It doesn't matter if he is married, she only wants to help him with his eyes.
However, with his wealth and status, he couldn't possibly find a doctor who could treat his eyes. It's more likely that he simply doesn't want to be cured.
Then she wouldn't need to go through all that trouble either.
Jiang Yan, hearing Mu Xing's words, relaxed and smiled: "I was too busy yesterday to help you with a welcome feast. Today, my senior brother specially found a private restaurant with supposedly unparalleled culinary skills. Come on, let's go try it."
Mu Xing is not interested in much, except for eating.
Upon hearing this, he immediately put down his crystal wine glass and stood up, "Hurry!"
-
The two of them followed the navigation to the city center.
The private restaurant was located in a courtyard house tucked away down an alley. Cars couldn't drive in, so Jiang Yan parked his car at the entrance and walked in with Mu Xing.
It was lunchtime, and as soon as they arrived, they were told that the restaurant was full and they would have to wait.
Mu Xing was quite patient when it came to good food. Besides, the atmosphere in this private kitchen was exceptionally fresh and elegant, a delight to the eyes, so waiting for a while wasn't an issue.
Having gotten her number, Mu Xing was just about to go sightseeing when she turned around and saw two tall figures walking in from outside the door.
A pale, gaunt face suddenly caught her eye. She couldn't help but frown.
Met again
Jian Yan was taken aback when she saw Fu Lingxiao. She had just mentioned this man to Xiao Yan at home, and now she ran into him right outside.
It's really a situation where you can't talk about people during the day and ghosts at night!
Mu Xing only glanced at him before quickly withdrawing her gaze, reaching out to pull on Jiang Yan's sleeve and leading him towards the smaller courtyard on the other side.
And Shen Yi, the moment he saw Mu Xing, froze completely.
My mind was filled with only two words: It's over!
He was hallucinating too!
It must be that I've been hanging out with Lao Fu every day lately, and he's rubbed off on me!
And Fu Lingxiao came to the private room upstairs. Shen Yi took advantage of going to the restroom to wash his hands and quietly called Shi Ye, "You quickly prepare some drugs for treating mental illness for me, I'm hallucinating too!"
Shi Ye frowned, "What's wrong with you"
"Stimulated by your Grandfather Fu, I just saw Mu Xing!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside, heading towards the door.
Shen Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, terrible!
Lao Fu's hearing is incredibly good now, he probably heard everything we just said!
"Lao Fu!"
Shen Yi quickly hung up the phone and went after him.
Fu Lingxiao was anxious, stumbling down the stairs. In fact, he had sensed Xing'er as soon as he entered the room, but with Shen Yi present, he suppressed his feelings out of fear that it would worry him.
Hearing the two words "Mu Xing" again, all his restraint instantly vanished.
Only by chasing after her could he feel that he was still alive...
Fu Lingxiao was like a madman, searching everywhere downstairs, but he still couldn't feel Mu Xing's presence. Hearing Shen Yi calling him from behind, he immediately turned around and asked, "Where is Xing'er"
“Old Fu…”
Shen Yi's brows furrowed, just about to persuade.
But as the light faded, a sudden glimpse caught his eye. In the dim and flickering lights in the distance, a slender figure moved gracefully closer…
Master Fu's maxed-out little sweetheart is super fierce when fighting.s so badly injured. Fuye wouldn't give him another chance. The reason he hasn't taken action yet is that Fuye has more important things to deal with, and he has become dispensable.Actually, firing hi...
