"Hey, your chest is too exaggerated. Who can grow so big?"
He glanced at her with his triangular eyes. The girl was very cute, but her breasts were not real enough. Such a young girl should have breasts as small as a pigeon.
This Sun Mo was clearly a newbie who had never touched a girl's chest before.
Li Ziqi cast a glance at the triangular-eyed guy, silently musing at how ignorant he was.
Pa!
Old Wolf Ren sent out another slap. (Why are you so talkative?) If he wanted to find her, then let him find her. At most, after they found her, they could just stuff two papayas into the girl's clothes.
"Teacher Sun, please return. I will give you news within three days."
Old Wolf Ren smiled apologetically.
"No, that's too long. I want the news by tomorrow morning at the latest."
Sun Mo urged.
"Isn't this too rushed?"
Old Wolf Ren frowned.
"Mobilize all your forces to search. I'll pay for all the expenses."
Sun Mo had the spirit gathering potted plant and could draw high-grade spirit runes. Therefore, he had the confidence to say this.
"Take this first!"
Li Ziqi passed the pouch containing the golden leaves to Old Wolf Ren.
Old Wolf Ren took it, opened it, and was dumbfounded.
"So many?"
The bulging pouch was stuffed to the brim with golden leaves. This pouch was worth tens of thousands of silver taels.
"F * ck!"
With the help of the moonlight and the lanterns hanging under the trees, the lackeys also saw the golden leaves. They immediately swallowed hard and felt a little scared.
A girl who could take out so much money must be very rich. He couldn't afford to offend someone like her. Otherwise, he would be doomed!
Old Wolf Ren was also a shrewd person. He secretly glanced at Constable Zhang's wary gaze and then looked at these golden leaves. How would he dare to accept them? He directly pushed them back.
"I can't accept this!"
Old Wolf Ren pretended to be magnanimous. "It's fine as long as Teacher Sun can treat his old injuries according to the agreement after we find him!"
What was a big shot? Even if you work for them, it's a rare opportunity. You want money? He must be tired of living!
After saying that, Old Wolf Ren didn't wait for Sun Mo to reply. He called a few of his underlings over and whispered some instructions to them. After that, they left rapidly.
Ding!

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night!
…
When Head Steward Zheng rushed to the Zhao family's mansion, it was already late. Old Master Zhao was already asleep. Even if the magistrate of Jinling came, he wouldn't be able to see him. However, the Head Steward went straight in and was ushered into the inner residence.
"What is it? Why the rush? "
Lord Zhao was also an old minister who had retired and was a colleague who had a rather close relationship with Zheng Qingfang.
"Our master wants you to help him find someone!"
The butler's attitude was respectful.
"Do you still need to use 'please' and 'you'? Do you believe that I won't throw you out? "
Old Master Zhao feigned anger.
"This is an emergency!"
The butler didn't waste any time and opened up Sun Mo's painting.
The Zhao Family was an aristocratic family. At night, they lit butter candles. In the hall, it could be said that it was brightly lit. However, the moment the 《Young Girl in Spring Rain Painting》 was opened, those lights were overshadowed.
Due to the attachment of spiritual energy, the painting looked like a luminous pearl at night, emitting natural light and beautiful colors.
"Famous painting?"
Old Master Zhao stood up from his chair and darted over in a few steps. He admired the painting attentively. "Quick, go and get my tortoiseshell spectacles!"
Tortoiseshell spectacles referred to presbyopic glasses. They were imported from the western countries and were very expensive. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford them.
"Zheng Qingfang, you are still talking about finding someone? Are you here to flaunt after obtaining a famous painting?"
Old Master Zhao was a little angry.
"Old master, you've misunderstood. The person we are looking for is the young girl in the painting!"
The butler was sweating profusely.
"What?"
Old Master Zhao frowned and cursed, "There's no need to bring a famous painting over. Can't you just find a portrait painting? What if it's stained? "
"This is the only one!"
The butler explained.
"Eh!"
Old Master Zhao was astonished. After that, he discovered a problem. This painting looked very new. Could it be that it was just painted? "What's the origin of this girl? Is she a princess from another country? "
"Nope!"
The butler shook his head.
"Could she be some esteemed princess?"
Old Master Zhao guessed.
"Nope!"
The butler continued to shake his head. (Speaking of which, can you quickly send someone to look for her?) However, he didn't want to rush them.
"Then who is she?"
Old Master Zhao was curious.
"She's just an ordinary student from the Central Province Academy!"
The butler patiently replied.
"Who are you trying to bluff?"
Old Master Zhao immediately retorted. (In order to find an ordinary female student, you guys hired a famous artist to draw a famous painting that has reached the 'Wondrous Blossom' realm. Are you guys so free?)
This famous painting couldn't be bought without at least a million taels. If the value of that girl wasn't tens of times more expensive than this, would she be worthy of it?
"Old Master Zhao, it's true." The butler had no solution and could only muster his courage to urge. "Can you hurry up? Our Old Master will surely thank you greatly. "
"I got it!"
Seeing that the butler was really anxious, Old Master Zhao patted his forehead in annoyance. It was all his fault. He was a little excited after seeing the famous painting and forgot himself.
"Men!"
Old Master Zhao called over the two most intelligent and capable stewards in the clan. He got them to listen to Butler Zheng's description and record it down in detail. After that, he mobilized his clan's connections to search for the girl.
After Butler Zheng finished his instructions, Old Master Zhao couldn't hold it in anymore. "This famous painting..."
"Old Master, I only have this painting. I still need to ask for help from others!"
The butler smiled bitterly.
"Got it, I won't hold you up any longer. Quickly go!"
Old Master Zhao also knew that the situation was serious and didn't waste any more words. However, after the butler left, he lay back on his bed but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
To someone who loved paintings as much as his life, it was truly hard to not be able to admire a famous painting after seeing it. After tossing and turning for an hour, Old Master Zhao climbed up.
"Men, come and change!"
Old Master Zhao decided to wait at Zheng Qingfang's residence. After the butler finished visiting Zheng Qingfang, he would surely return home. At that time, he would be able to admire that famous painting.
Sitting in the carriage, Old Master Zhao felt trepidation. After all, Zheng Qingfang was looking for someone. It wouldn't be too good for him to admire the painting. However, after he entered the Zheng Clan's residence and was led to the living room by the servants, his trepidation vanished.
Damn, a few of his old friends were here. Clearly, everyone had the same goal.
In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, it was the same as ancient China. There were very few recreational activities. Everyone was old and couldn't play with women anymore. They also couldn't engage in intense sports. Hence, they could only cultivate their moral character.
Moreover, it was very pretentious to flaunt their culture, recite poems, and paint. These old officials who claimed to be literati naturally loved it.
"Old Li, you are an uncouth fellow. If you don't like painting, why did you come here to look at it?"
Old Master Zhao scolded.
"There's no need to like famous paintings. It's fine just to look at them."
Old Master Li spoke in a righteous manner and wasn't wrong at all. Because the famous painting had reached the Wondrous Blossom realm, even if one didn't know how to admire paintings, they would be able to appreciate its beauty.
"Tsk, letting your eyes that only know how to look at women look at that famous painting is simply a stain."
Old Master Zhao mocked.
The maids at the side had no expression on their faces when they heard these old men scolding them. After all, they were already used to it.
Those who could come to the Zheng Clan's residence at night were all very close friends. Usually, they would scold each other, but it was a type of joke. They weren't really angry.
Not long later, Zheng Qingfang returned.
"Sorry, I went to pay a visit to the Jinling Provincial Governor earlier!"
Zheng Qingfang apologized.
The Provincial Governor of Jinling was the highest-ranking official in the territory of Jinling. He ruled over tens of thousands of people and commanded thousands of troops. He was a Rank 3 official with real authority.
"You haven't found her yet?"
Old Master Zhao frowned.
"Not yet."
Zheng Qingfang sighed. Given the capabilities of these people in the room, they would definitely be able to find her. However, he was afraid that she would suffer some irreparable damage. That would be terrible.
"Bastard, if I know who did this, I will skin their entire family alive."
Old Master Li had a fiery temper and had the best relationship with Zheng Qingfang. He was even more impatient than Zheng Qingfang.
At this time, no one mentioned the painting. No matter how important a famous painting was, could it be more important than a human life? However, all the old masters were curious about who that girl was exactly! She actually made Zheng Qingfang so nervous?
...
Plum Alley.
The triangular-eyed guy who had been searching for the girl returned with a nervous expression. "Boss, something isn't right."
"What's wrong?"
Old Wolf Ren yawned. He hadn't woken up yet.
"Many people are looking for that girl."
The triangular-eyed guy was very nervous when he said this.
"How many people are there?"
Old Wolf Ren rubbed his eyes.
"The Zheng Clan, Zhao Clan, Li Clan, Wang Clan, Cai Clan, all the influential clans that you can name have been mobilized. Oh right, although Jinling isn't under martial law, the checks for leaving the city are much stricter."
The triangular-eyed guy panicked a little.
"What?"
Old Wolf Ren stood up in shock. He had wanted to pee, but right now, he didn't even feel like doing so. The surnames that the triangular-eyed guy mentioned were all influential clans in Jinling. Just a single one of them was terrifyingly powerful. If a few of them were to make a move...
(Oh my god, what is the background of that missing girl?)
"Boss, should we back out?"
The triangular-eyed guy was truly afraid. They were the Three Fish Association that relied on selling information to make a living. They were the dregs at the bottom of the society. If they were to get involved in such a huge storm, they might just get hammered to death.
Old Wolf Ren was conflicted. His countenance alternated between green and red. After pacing back and forth in the room for over ten minutes, he finally punched the wall.
"No, go all out. Mobilize all the people that you can mobilize. Such a good opportunity to climb on the thigh of a noble is extremely rare. If you miss it, you'll definitely regret it for life."
As Old Wolf Ren spoke, he suddenly felt regret.
What kind of attitude did he have last night? He hoped that Sun Mo wouldn't be angry. Also, that girl must be found no matter what. Otherwise, if Sun Mo were to vent his anger on him, he'd be done for.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Old Wolf Ren + 50. Friendly (80/100).
Because he specialized in buying information, he knew how terrifying Sun Mo's connections were to be able to stir up such a storm.
After that, he started to observe a moment of silence for those fellows who had kidnapped that big-breasted girl. (You guys are dead for sure. Maybe, even your entire family might be implicated.)
This time around, Old Wolf Ren had also taken action personally and brought out all of his trump cards. Under such a large-scale search, the results would be out in at most three days. Therefore, if he wanted to snatch credit, he had to be faster than the others.
