The curtain of night was like the wings of a demon, covering the earth!
As time passed by, there was still no news from Lu Zhiruo. However, Sun Mo started to calm down.
The worst-case scenario had already happened. Being impatient and angry would not solve the problem, so he had to be calm and find a way to break out of this situation.
Sun Mo was such a person. The greater the situation he encountered, the more composed he would be.
Below the female dormitory, Sun Mo sat by the roadside. He took a small stone and randomly drew on the ground, leaving behind an impressionist painting.
Li Ziqi accompanied him at the side and was also pondering with furrowed brows. Very soon, she thought of a solution, but she didn't know how trustworthy it was.
"Deduce it again!"
Li Ziqi didn't want to make any mistakes, but before she could think further, Sun Mo who was at the side suddenly stood up.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo took a large step forward.
"Teacher?"
Li Ziqi hurriedly chased after him. "Have you thought of a solution?"
"Let's give it a try first!"
Sun Mo looked at Li Ziqi. "But I'll have to trouble you this time around."
"Teacher, what are you talking about? Zhiruo is my Junior Martial Sister, it is my duty to save her. "
Li Ziqi felt a little resentful. Sun Mo was treating her like an outsider.
"Alright!"
Sun Mo nodded and returned to the dormitory first. After taking some things, he went downstairs and summoned Chasing Cloud. "Let's ride a horse?"
"Alright!"
As the sound of Li Ziqi's voice faded, she saw Sun Mo leaping up the horse. His posture was elegant and suave. After that, he leaned forward slightly and stretched out a large hand to her.
Holding Sun Mo's hand, Li Ziqi felt a sense of warmth. After that, she was pulled onto the back of the horse and sat in Sun Mo's embrace.
"I've wronged you."
Sun Mo apologized. He then squeezed the horse's abdomen and started galloping.
"Not at all!"
Li Ziqi mumbled in her heart. She actually enjoyed this novel experience a little. For an instant, she wanted to lean into her teacher's embrace, but she endured it.
Chasing Cloud galloped, the horse's back jolting.
Because it was already night time, there weren't many people on the streets. Hence, Sun Mo could gallop wildly on the horse. However, if he increased his speed, the danger would be greater.
Li Ziqi looked at the houses on both sides of the street that were rapidly retreating. Her countenance turned a little pale.
"You won't fall."
One of Sun Mo's hands wrapped around Li Ziqi's stomach. After that, he leaned against her back. He definitely didn't have any thoughts of taking advantage of her. He purely wanted to protect the little sunny egg and let her sit more stably.
"En!"
Li Ziqi replied, her voice as soft as a mosquito's. Her hand grabbed Sun Mo tightly, and she had a nervous look on her face. Her mind was completely blank.
Because her athletic ability was too weak, it was very rare for her to ride a horse. Even if she did, it would be for a stroll. She wouldn't be able to gallop as fast as lightning, chasing after the clouds and moon.
Luckily, Chasing Cloud's speed was fast enough and they didn't have to sit for too long. Not long later, Sun Mo stopped in front of the Jinling government office.
"Who is it?"
The bailiff in charge of the guards immediately raised his saber and asked. The government had a clear rule that no one was allowed to ride a horse in front of the government office, let alone galloping.
Those who rode horses got off their horses, and those who sat in sedan chairs got off their sedan chairs. This was common sense. Anyone who violated this rule would be whipped fifty times and fined a certain amount of silver.
Li Ziqi was very intelligent. There was no need for Sun Mo to say anything and she already knew her teacher's plan. Hence, she immediately took out her golden token.
"Is Constable Zhang here?"
Li Ziqi's voice was filled with the tone of someone high and mighty. It wasn't that she looked down on others, but it was because she could save a lot of trouble by saying this.
The bailiffs worked in the government office every day and had seen too many different kinds of people. Although they didn't see the golden token clearly because the sky was too bright, they could tell that she was a young miss of a high official or noble family when they heard Li Ziqi's tone.
"Constable Zhang isn't on duty today. He should be at home."
The bailiff replied.
"Where is his house?"
Li Ziqi asked.
"Enter the Plum Blossom Alley. It's the third house on the sixth row in the east."
The bailiff spoke very quickly. He was a quick-witted person. "Do you want me to bring you there?"
"There's no need!"
As Li Ziqi spoke, she took out a golden leaf and tossed it over. "This is your reward."
"Thank you for the reward, Miss!"
The bailiff was overjoyed and nodded.
After Sun Mo and Li Ziqi left, he immediately picked up the golden leaf and placed it under the lantern to check.
"Oh, it seems like the purity isn't bad. It's worth at least 100 taels!"
The bailiff at the side was so envious that his saliva was about to drip out. His colleague had merely said a few words and he received such a huge reward. This was simply f * cking amazing.
"Hehe!"
The bailiff who received the reward laughed. This was called having good judgment. He wouldn't tell his colleague that the horse Sun Mo was riding was a soul warhorse. If it was placed on the market, it wouldn't be able to be bought without at least a million taels.
How could a rich person like him not be extravagant when he was looking for someone?
When Sun Mo went to look for Old Zheng, not only did Li Ziqi go back to ask her aunt for help, but she also brought some golden leaves with her. After all, at times like this, a lot of money would be needed.
Sun Mo's original self grew up in Jinling and was very familiar with the terrain. Not long later, he found Constable Zhang's house.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sun Mo knocked on the door. "Is Constable Zhang in?"
"Who is it?"
As he asked, the door creaked open and a middle-aged woman opened it. "Old Zhang is here. You guys are?"
This woman was Constable Zhang's wife. Because of her husband's work, she was used to people knocking on their door in the middle of the night.
"I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night."
As Li Ziqi spoke, she handed over another golden leaf.
Constable Zhang's wife's eyes brightened, but she didn't take it. "Old Zhang, someone is looking for you. Hurry up!"
The Zhang Clan couldn't afford to slight someone who took out a golden leaf.
Constable Zhang came out. When he saw Li Ziqi, he was shocked and quickly walked over. "Why are you here?"
"Constable Zhang, do you know who is the most well-informed in Jinling City?"
Sun Mo went straight to the point.
"As expected, it's that person!"
Hearing Sun Mo's question, Li Ziqi's beautiful eyes brightened. She was thinking of the same thing as her teacher.
Snakes and rats had their own paths. Lu Zhiruo's kidnapping must have been done by some shady people. If they were to get the local bullies to investigate this matter, the efficiency should be faster than the authorities.
Or rather, even if the authorities were to investigate, they would first start with the local bullies.
"This..."
Constable Zhang glanced at Li Ziqi, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Constable Zhang, don't tell me that you don't know."
There was a hint of threat in Li Ziqi's words.
In modern times, Constable Zhang's position was equivalent to a police chief. He had to maintain the public order and solve cases. He would definitely have to deal with those hoodlums and gangs.
Hearing this, cold sweat instantly appeared on Constable Zhang's forehead.
"Ziqi!"
Sun Mo had a favor to ask of her. Hence, he indicated for the little sunny egg not to be too overbearing.
"I was too anxious. I'm sorry."
Li Ziqi apologized.
"I don't dare! I don't dare! "
Constable Zhang hurriedly rejected. How would he dare to let Li Ziqi apologize? However, he was even more curious about Sun Mo's identity. From his attire, he should be a teacher from the Central Province Academy. However, this identity shouldn't be sufficient for Li Ziqi to respect him so much, right?
Unless he was a personal teacher.
At the thought of this, Constable Zhang laughed in self-mockery. He felt that water must have entered his brain. This fellow was so young and most probably didn't even have a 'star'. How could he become Li Ziqi's teacher?
"The two of you seem to be looking for someone, right? If you want to inquire about information, you should look for Old Wolf Ren from the Three Fish Association. They specialize in this to make a living. "
Constable Zhang very quickly made a decision.
There were unspoken rules in any industry. If Constable Zhang brought an outsider to look for Old Wolf Ren, it would be considered as breaking the rules. There was an 80% to 90% chance that he wouldn't be able to gain any benefits. However, Li Ziqi's identity was too esteemed. Let alone the fact that Constable Zhang didn't dare to reject her, even if he could, he wouldn't do so.
This was a great opportunity to climb up. If he handled things well, he would be promoted and get a raise today.
"I'll have to trouble Constable Zhang then."
Sun Mo didn't stand on ceremony either.
Constable Zhang hurriedly changed into his official robes. In order to increase his aura, he even put on his waist blade and chains.
About half an hour later, the three of them walked into a dark alley.
However, before they could reach the innermost part, they were blocked by someone.
"So it's Constable Zhang. I wonder why you came to our commoner district in the middle of the night?"
A young man with triangular-shaped eyes asked in a strange tone.
"Where's Old Wolf Ren? I have something to talk to him about! "
Constable Zhang's tone was unfriendly.
"You are already a veteran. Why don't you know the rules? Is our Boss Wolf someone that outsiders can meet? "
The triangular-shaped eyes surveyed Sun Mo and Li Ziqi.
Li Ziqi panicked a little.
It was the middle of the night, and they were blocked by bad people in a dark alley. They didn't even know if there were people lying in ambush in the vicinity. She felt really nervous.
"He isn't an outsider. He's someone important. Don't look around, or this daddy will dig out your eyes and stomp on them like balls."
Constable Zhang took a step forward, wanting to block Li Ziqi. However, Sun Mo was faster.
"Don't be afraid!"
Sun Mo felt some regret for bringing Li Ziqi here.
"Wait here, I'll go and report this!"
The triangular-shaped eyes casually spoke and left.
This wait lasted for half an hour. Sun Mo was so anxious that he wanted to curse. There were a few times when he wanted to fight his way in, but he was worried that his actions would be too extreme and scare Old Wolf Ren away.
"Our boss said that he only wants to meet Constable Zhang."
The triangular-shaped eyes returned in a leisurely manner. He wasn't anxious at all.
"What should I do?"
Constable Zhang looked at Sun Mo. Although Li Ziqi's status was respectable, he knew that this teacher was the one who could make the decision.
"Just say that the Central Province Academy's Sun Mo wants to ask him to look for someone. Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, he will definitely thank him heavily."
Sun Mo instructed, "Try your best to think of a way to let him meet me."
As long as they met, Sun Mo had the confidence to convince Old Wolf Ren.
"Alright!"
Constable Zhang followed the triangular-shaped eyes into a residence in the depths of the alley and saw Old Wolf Ren who was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.
"Constable Zhang, it's against the rules for you to bring an outsider to meet me."
Old Wolf Ren was someone who sold information. Hence, he was exceptionally secretive about his own information. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to meet him.
"He's a major character, I can't afford to offend him."
Constable Zhang spoke in human language and when he saw a ghost, he spoke in a ghost language. He first expressed his grievances, expressing that he was on the same side as Old Wolf Ren and that he had no other choice.
"Ha, I think you just want to hug his thigh, right?"
Old Wolf Ren mocked. They were all intelligent people, so who was he trying to fool?
"Boss Wolf, he just wants you to help him look for someone. It's a very ordinary matter. Regardless of whether you manage to do it well or not, he will definitely give you a thank-you gift."
Constable Zhang knew that this matter was urgent and hurriedly got down to business.
"Everyone is different," Ye Zichen said.
Old Wolf Ren's lips twitched.
Constable Zhang couldn't stand such an unhurried conversation. It was because the faster he could settle Old Wolf Ren, the more capable he would appear. Hence, his tone wasn't as amicable as before.
"That's right, people are different. If you offend me, I can only endure it. But if you offend the two people in the alley, do you believe that the entire Three Fish Association and even a dog will be dragged to the market to be beheaded tomorrow afternoon?"
Pui!
Old Wolf Ren spat out a mouthful of saliva. With a bang, he slammed the teapot in his hand onto the table. "Do you think I'm scared?!"
"You can try!"
Constable Zhang mocked.
Old Wolf Ren was very angry, but that was only on the surface. In his mind, he was very calm. To be able to make Constable Zhang, who was a wily old fox, fall out with him the moment they met, it could be seen that the other party had a great background.
"Oh, tell me then. Who is it that is so impressive?"
Old Wolf Ren asked.
"Central Province Academy, Teacher Sun Mo."
Constable Zhang finished speaking.
Old Wolf Ren and the lackeys in the surroundings started. After that, they laughed out loud. However, after laughing, Old Wolf Ren started bellowing.
"Constable Zhang, are you f * cking making fun of me by coming to look for me in the middle of the night? What kind of authority does a teacher have? "
Old Wolf Ren had heard from the triangular-eyed guy that other than Constable Zhang, there was a man and a woman who were very young. Such people were definitely not great teachers with stars.
Constable Zhang's countenance turned ashen. (What can I do? I'm also in despair. But trash like you aren't even worthy of hearing her highness' name. If not, it would be a kind of blasphemy to her.)
Moreover, Constable Zhang mustn't let others know that her highness had come to such a place in the middle of the night. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to her reputation.
"Scram!"
Old Wolf Ren felt that Constable Zhang was humiliating him.
"Old Dog Ren, don't be so shameless. If you don't meet them today, I guarantee that your entire family will die tomorrow."
Seeing that things were about to go south, Constable Zhang started to threaten.
"You don't wish to leave this courtyard anymore, right?"
The triangular-eyed guy pulled out his dagger.
Old Wolf Ren's eyes narrowed. (No matter what, I'm the boss of a gang. How dare you speak to me like this in public?)
(I don't want face!)
Just when Old Wolf Ren was pondering if he should teach this Constable Zhang a lesson, a coughing sound suddenly rang out in the house.
Old Wolf Ren started. After that, he cast a doubtful glance at Constable Zhang. He ignored him and directly returned to the house.
In the living room, there was a round wooden table with over ten dishes on it. Right now, the cups and plates were all over the place, and the smell of alcohol permeated the air.
The lady boss of Huaqing Pool, Hua Rou, was sitting on a chair, slowly flipping through a booklet. The booklet was filled with things that were worth taking note of recently in Jinling City.
"What's wrong?"
Old Wolf Ren and Hua Rou were martial siblings, and their backgrounds weren't good. In addition, they were forced by reality. Hence, in front of money and morals, they chose money.
Although the two of them were bad, there were some bottom lines that they wouldn't touch.
"If I didn't hear wrongly, Constable Zhang is talking about the Central Province Academy's Sun Mo?"
Hua Rou asked.
"Mn!"
Old Wolf Ren frowned, recalling that his junior martial sister's bathhouse was in the vicinity of this school. "You know him?"
"I want to know him, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to know me!"
Hua Rou chortled.
"What's going on?"
Old Wolf Ren didn't understand.
"This Sun Mo is An Xinhui's fiance."
Hua Rou explained.
"Che, what's there to know about someone who lives off a woman?"
Old Wolf Ren looked down on such spineless gigolos the most.
"You're wrong. Sun Mo has' God Hands' and is already the most famous teacher in the entire Central Province Academy. Moreover, he has only been employed for two months."
Hua Rou looked at the scars on Old Wolf Ren's body. "Maybe your sequela can be treated?"
"Forget it, this isn't an illness. How can it be treated?"
For Old Wolf Ren to be able to reach his current status, he had relied on a steel blade to hack for five years. During this period, he had been on the verge of death many times.
If one often walked by the river, how could one's shoes not get wet? Even though Old Wolf Ren had survived, his old injuries would always be in pain due to delayed treatment and because they were too serious. This was especially so on rainy days where they would feel numb and pain. That sour feeling made Old Wolf Ren want nothing more than to find a rope to commit suicide.
"I advise you to meet him!"
Hua Rou's lips twitched and she poured herself a cup of wine.
"Hehe, are you pleading on his behalf?"
Old Wolf Ren was amused. "My cold-hearted junior martial sister has finally fallen for a mortal? That Sun Mo should be very handsome, right? "
Who in Jinling City didn't know of An Xinhui's fame? Therefore, Old Wolf Ren felt that the husband she had chosen must be a handsome guy. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of her?
"Scram!"
Hua Rou scolded with a solemn expression. "I'm not joking with you. Previously, a 4-star great teacher casually tossed me a heaven-tier origin nurturing pill just to ask about Sun Mo's information."
"What joke are you playing?"
Old Wolf Ren couldn't help but cry out. His face was filled with disbelief. "A heaven-tier origin nurturing pill is worth tens of thousands of silver taels, yet he casually gave it to you? Even if he has a mine, he can't be so extravagant! "
"That's why I said that you're just a petty gang leader. No matter how you climb up, you won't be able to become a major character."
Hua Rou still remembered the domineering look on Fang Haoran's face when he tossed out the origin nurturing pill.
A peak-grade item in her eyes was something that could be casually bestowed to others. It wasn't worth a mention at all.
"Alright, I'll meet him!"
Old Wolf Ren knew that his junior martial sister wouldn't harm him.
"Be more polite!"
Hua Rou reminded him.
Very soon, Sun Mo and Li Ziqi were invited into the courtyard by the triangular-eyed guy.
"I hope that Boss Wolf can help me look for someone. Of course, after the matter is done, I'll definitely have a great gift for you."
After Sun Mo said this, he activated his Divine Sight and stared at Old Wolf Ren.
42 years old, blood-ignition realm.
Strength 22. Due to damage, it was in a state of decline.
Intellect 28. Many years of fighting and killing had trained him to be proud of his life philosophy. His survivability was definitely top-notch.
Agility 25. If he couldn't run fast, he would have died long ago.
Endurance 23. Trash!
Will 29. Tough guy!
...
Potential value: High!
Note: He no longer has any yearning for life. He's working hard to live so that he can support the sky for his children!
Sun Mo's lips twitched. As expected, those who could become bosses all had some capabilities.
"Hehe, are you looking down on me? Am I such a person who values benefits over morality? "
Old Wolf Ren recalled Hua Rou's words and felt that he should appear more reserved and noble. He mustn't talk about benefits all the time.
"There are many wounds on your body. Although your wounds have recovered, your energy channels and origin have been injured. You should be in pain from time to time, coughing non-stop, and occasionally vomiting blood."
Sun Mo didn't have time to waste. Hence, he directly revealed his trump card.
"What?"
Old Wolf Ren was shocked and looked at Sun Mo in disbelief. What did Hua Rou say that this teacher had? God's Eyes? That was right. Otherwise, how could Sun Mo know his exact situation just by assessing him?
Wasn't this a little too amazing?
Constable Zhang didn't have any reaction, but the subordinates of the Three Fish Association were dumbfounded. They, the subordinates in the core circle, knew about their boss's situation.
After the three-eyed man was stunned for a moment, he suddenly pulled out his dagger and pointed it at Sun Mo.
"Speak, who sent you here? Why do you want to find out about our boss's information? "
From the three-eyed man's point of view, Sun Mo must have found out about this in advance.
Without waiting for Sun Mo to reply, Old Wolf Ren took two steps forward, swung his arm, and fiercely slapped this subordinate whom he had always regarded highly.
(What the hell? If I scare Sun Mo away, who is going to treat me?)
"All of you, show some respect!" Old Wolf Ren berated. "Call him Teacher Sun!"
"Teacher Sun!"
The subordinates greeted him.
Old Wolf Ren had the imposing demeanor of a boss when facing his subordinates. However, after facing Sun Mo, he immediately smiled. "Teacher Sun, can my illness be treated?"
"..."
Constable Zhang was astonished. (Isn't your attitude changing a little too fast? What happened to valuing benefits over morality? In the end, in order to treat your illness, you even beat up the subordinates who were protecting you!)
(You really have no morals at all.)
However, these people were all from the underworld. If they had integrity, they wouldn't be able to make a living here.
Hua Rou, who was in the room, was peeping. When she heard Sun Mo's words, she couldn't help but feel that the 4-star great teacher was truly impressive. He could tell how outstanding Sun Mo was with a single glance.
However, wasn't this Sun Mo the God Hands? Why did he know her senior martial brother's condition without touching him? Could this be Sun Mo's complete form?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Hua Rou + 20. Neutral (50/100).
Suddenly hearing the system's notification, Sun Mo frowned a little. Why did Hua Rou suddenly appear? Judging from the accumulation of favorable impression points, it should be the female boss of the Huaqing Pool.
(Speaking of which, you guys really have a business!)
"Come over!"
Sun Mo instructed. At a time like this, it was time for him to display the demeanor of a great teacher.
Old Wolf Ren hesitated, but after thinking of his junior martial sister's words, he decided to give it a try. After all, Sun Mo was here to seek help and had no enmity with him. There was no need for Sun Mo to hurt him.
To put it bluntly, Sun Mo was a teacher of the Central Province Academy and had a boundless future. If it wasn't because he was looking for someone, he probably wouldn't even cast a glance at trash like him.
Pak!
Seeing Old Wolf Ren walking to his side, Sun Mo placed his hand on Old Wolf Ren's shoulder blade and squeezed forcefully.
"Ahh!"
Old Wolf Ren let out a miserable scream.
"Boss!"
His underlings were badly shocked. They drew their blades and wanted to pounce over.
"Stop!"
After Old Wolf Ren shouted, he started to moan. The feeling of being kneaded by Sun Mo felt so good. It was even more satisfying than sleeping with girls.
His underlings exchanged mutual glances. (Boss, can you not call me like this? It's so embarrassing.)
Sun Mo stopped and pushed Old Wolf Ren away.
"Eh? Don't! Don't stop! Continue! "
Old Wolf Ren pleaded thrice.
Hearing this, Constable Zhang involuntarily assessed Sun Mo. He didn't expect that this guy was quite capable.
"After you help me find someone, I'll give you treatment."
Sun Mo frowned and looked toward the well. This Old Wolf Ren reeked of alcohol, and he was also sweating. Sun Mo couldn't bear this.
"I'll go get some water!"
Li Ziqi immediately jogged over.
"Why are you in a daze? Go get some water! "
Old Wolf Ren kicked the triangular-eyed guy's thigh. There was no solution to it as he was the closest to Sun Mo. "Who are you looking for?"
"My student, a girl around 13 years old. Her characteristic is that her breasts are super big!"
Sun Mo took out a portrait. This was something he drew when he was waiting for Lu Zhiruo in the female dormitory. It was purely a portrait.
Huo!
The underlings of the Three Fish Association exclaimed in admiration.
