04. Money and beauty

A rapid knock on the door woke Musu up.

He carefully poked his head out from under the bed, climbed out slowly, and stood up at the foot of the bed.

There was another silhouette on the bed huddled under the quilt, which was Mu Su's preparation just in case.

After taking down the bucket above the bedroom door, Mu Su came to the door and asked loudly who it was.

"It's me, there's some trouble." Chen Yue's voice came from outside the door.

"You can solve it yourself!" Mu Su turned around and went back to sleep.

"What if that's a commission?"

Mu Su stopped for a moment.

"How much?" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"This needs to be discussed." The voice outside the door said with a hint of smile.

Mu Su was moved by the money. He moved the table in front of the door, pulled off the wires, trip ropes, and stones. When he was about to unlock the door, he suddenly thought of something.

He hurried into the bathroom and came back ten seconds later, his face flushed and his hands stained with water.

I rubbed it on my body twice randomly and unlocked the door.

"Come in."

After a rustling sound, Chen Yue and Eugene outside the door heard Mu Su's deep voice.

Eugene glanced at Chen Yue and opened the door first.

The space behind the door appeared before their eyes.

The afternoon sunlight slanting outside the window penetrated the lingering fog and turned into a beam of light, pouring down all over the body like holy light, casting a hint of haziness on the figure on the sofa.

He was wearing a coat and sitting there with his legs crossed, almost the representative of calmness and wisdom.

Those black eyes as deep as the abyss seemed to be able to penetrate everything.

Eugene felt that this scene was familiar inexplicably.

"Please take a seat."

Mu Su stretched out his slender palm and motioned for the two of them to sit across from each other.

Chen Yue looked at Mu Su suspiciously, then subconsciously followed his words and sat down.

"What do you want to drink?" Mu Su said calmly.

Chen Yue felt a little uncomfortable: "No need..."

"That's good." Mu Su nodded slightly.

…?

Question marks popped up in Chen Yue's heart.

Mu Su turned his deep eyes to Chen Yue, and his hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Then you are the client."

Mu Su's appearance made Chen Yue a little worried, wondering whether the plan could proceed normally. After thinking about it, she still spoke as planned.

"Do you remember that girl? She is actually not your daughter."

"I know." Mu Su tilted his head slightly, and his pair of deep black eyes that had always been hidden in the darkness became somewhat bright and playful.

"Does this have anything to do with your commission?"

Who is this guy who looks a lot like Mu Su...?

Question marks popped up in Chen Yue's heart again.

Eugene hesitated to speak. He felt that he had seen through the figure on the sofa, and felt a little strange.

"That girl was captured by people from the Church of Nature, and we want to entrust you to find where she was taken."

"Then what's the reward?" Mu Su tapped her knuckles on her thigh and thought for a moment. "You know how much risk I have to take."

Mu Su seemed to be relieved, and Chen Yue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You know what our Eternal Life Association lacks most is money. As long as you agree to accept the commission, we can pay a deposit of 500,000 credit points."

The moment he heard the numbers, Mu Su's deep black eyes flickered, and his black and white dead fish eyes flashed away.

What just happened...did I see it wrong...?

A third question appeared in Chen Yue's mind.

"It's really rich." Mu Su, who seemed to have nothing happened, clicked his tongue and stopped tapping his knuckles. He thought for a while and opened his mouth slightly.

"But I refuse."

Chen Yue's smile disappeared instantly.

She prefers to go straight, like kidnapping and kidnapping and kidnapping.

But she couldn't do this in the Imperial Hotel. Coupled with her guilt for Mu Su, she restrained her emotions.

There is a second way.

she thought.

Chen Yue stared at Mu Su closely and said word by word: "You must go."

"Oh? Then I just want to hear the reason." Mu Su said with interest.

After hesitating again and again, Chen Yue threw away the flowery words and said bluntly: "Because she likes you, you can't bear to give in..."

Chen Yue was suddenly speechless, and the next scene was something she would never forget for a long time.

The same goes for Eugene. But compared to Chen Yue, he received a better impact.

The ubiquitous deep aura suddenly dissipated, and a pair of sharp black eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world began to transform into dead fish eyes.

He was still sitting there, but his straight back gradually softened, and he moved closer to the sofa, with an aura of decadence filling the air.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be...a mysterious man suddenly transformed into a two-headed stick figure.

Although there is no visual change, the senses are indeed that of a different person.

It’s time for Sage Mode!

"What did you just say?" a low voice sounded.

Mu Su still looked pretentious, but at this moment he was only formless.

"I said..." Chen Yue came back to her senses and said in a daze: "I said she likes you and has been secretly in love with you-"

"What are we waiting for!"

Mu Su patted the armrest and stood up, shouting anxiously: "Where is she? Let's go and save her!"

Chen Yue sat up straight and relaxed her waist slightly, silently watching Mu Su who was yelling, grabbing Eugene's collar and shaking him hard.

Although the process was tortuous, fortunately it was successful.

Mu Su asked about the situation and hurried out the door.

The moment he was about to step out the door, Mu Su suddenly stopped.

Could it be...

Chen Yue's heart sank slightly.

Mu Su scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Well...I seemed to remember something like 500,000 before..."

[Chen Yue pays you credit points: 500,000 points.]

"Ten thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand... hiss..."

When had Mu Su ever seen so much money? He covered his heart and almost fell ill.

Eugene wanted to go over and help him, but Mu Su waved his hand and refused. He held on to the door frame and went out happily.

Watching Mu Su enter the elevator, Chen Yue sighed: "I really don't want to use such childish methods to do such an important thing."

What she didn't say was that it was guilt that once again dragged Mu Su into troubled waters.

"But obviously this is the trick that works."

Eugene interrupted Chen Yue's thoughts. He took a long breath and said, "Although I feel very sorry for Mu Su...but this is what we have to do. Anyway, protect him. If he is okay, we will feel better."

"Um."



bite--

When the elevator reached the first floor, Mu Su was stopped by a figure as he approached the door.

The man in black unexpectedly stood in front of the door and asked Mu Su: "Are you really going out?"

"I'm going to save people!" Mu Su shouted.

"With all due respect, once you leave here I'm afraid——"

"I'm going to save people!" Mu Su's voice raised a few points.

"...This is a very dangerous thing."

Mu Su raised his neck and shouted: "I can't turn a blind eye and watch an innocent girl being brutally murdered! I want to save people!"

"..." The man in black was silent. He didn't know how to explain this obvious trap to Mu Su.

Mu Su didn't notice it at all, and rushed out of the Imperial Hotel in a righteous manner.

Just as he ran onto the street, a suspended RV suddenly stopped in front of him. Two figures in robes got out, grabbed Mu Su and got into the car, and the RV drove away.

No sloppiness, a neat kidnapping operation.
