When Ah Bao finished his narration, Mu Yuchen’s profound eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. He noticed the gaze that Zhou Zimo was giving him, and he returned the look with depth too. Then, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Ah Bao. “How much time do you need to find that person?”
Ah Bao bowed slightly and responded, “We’ll definitely find him by noon tomorrow!”
Mu Yuchen nodded. “Okay, I’ll give you one day. In one day, you have to find that person and find out why they were chasing after that person in front. Also, find a way to find out who they’re working for.”
“Yes, Master, don’t worry. I’ll go investigate right away!” Ah Bao responded, then rushed down.
When he heard the door close, Mu Yuchen looked up at Li Si. “Have you found out more about Gu Lingsha?”
“I haven’t found out much for now. After the auction ended, our people have been secretly following Doris and Gu Lingsha. We realize that the mother and daughter went to VR Spa. We haven’t gotten any news until now, so they haven’t left for sure.”
“This mother and daughter really do know how to enjoy themselves. At VR Luxury Spa, there are only 88 members. It’s where the nouveau riche and aristocrats gather as a symbol of status. It’s a money-squandering establishment inside. Even if you have the money, you might not be able to get a membership card as long as the name list is full. Hmm, how did they get in?” Zhou Zimo finished the drink in his glass at a go and asked in mystification.
“Master Mo, don’t you already know? The Gu family is very close to the boss. The member card that Doris has was arranged for behind closed doors. You can tell how nice he is to his wife, Doris! No wonder Gu Lingsha has the guts to be so prideful.”
When Li Si recalled Gu Lingsha’s elegant and noble face, he only thought it was pretentious. Their Director Xi, their Missus, was better. Even though she also had a celebrated status, she was like their low-profile Master. Most importantly, she was a friendly person and was kind to everyone. She did not discriminate when it came to treating others.
Gu Lingsha was different. Previously, when she was not with Master but with Mu Yinan, he had been in contact quite a few times with Gu Lingsha. Gu Lingsha had always been self-righteous. Even though she seemed courteous on the surface, she was actually very distant, and her tone when she spoke sounded odd.
Li Si felt repelled by her instinctively.
“Is it Gu Qiwu? I did hear that Gu Qiwu is quite loyal to his woman, Doris. Years ago, to get her, he did sacrifice a lot, and in the end, he did win the belle. They have been loving up till now. They are a fine example of a husband and wife, aren’t they, Li Si?”
Zhou Zimo did hear some rumors about Gu Qiwu and Doris.
“That’s true, but Doris really does have a way of making her man spoil her. Look at when she stood with Gu Lingsha. They don’t look like mother and daughter but sisters. She’s already over 50 years old, yet she still looks like a young and delicate lady. You can see that this woman’s quality of life must be pretty luxurious,” Li Si quickly responded.
“Two bloody-sucking evil spirits!” Zhou Zimo flicked away some strands of hair that fell on his forehead. When he remembered the way those two women had waltzed in and caused quite a few reactions, he could not help but sigh. “At such a huge occasion, she was still dressed all sinister-like at her age. It’s no wonder you don’t really like her, Chen.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Yuchen with an odd expression.
Nonetheless, Mu Yuchen just glanced at him with a lukewarm gaze. He suddenly sneered and said something shocking, “‘Evil spirits’ is a good term to me, so don’t insult this term. They are only fitting to be two leeches.”
When Mu Yuchen said that, Zhou Zimo spat his drink out and felt goosebumps. After trembling slightly, he subconsciously winced and shrunk his body!
Leech!
A disgusted fear flashed past in Zhou Zimo’s eyes. He eased himself for quite a while and then nodded vigorously. “Leeches! Chen, you’re so imaginative! In fact, nothing can describe them better. They are beyond disgusting, focused on blood-sucking, and they can’t be rid off. Even just thinking about it makes me scared.”
Mu Yuchen, Su Chen, and Zhou Zimo were three buddies who used to frequently have training in the wild when they were still in the army, so they would always bump into such creepy crawlies. Zhou Zimo still had lingering fears, and he felt rather disgusted and afraid of those things.
Meanwhile, Li Si could not help but laugh out loud. Although Mu Yuchen remained seated with an indifferent expression, he looked solemn, thus it was hard to imagine that such harsh words had just come out of his mouth.
“Li Si, go investigate how it’s like near Doyle Street. Think of a way to find out about the exact location of Xiang She Residences. We’ll go over to take a look tomorrow. Watch Gu Lingsha closely and find out what she’s trying to do.”
“Okay, Master. Right, Master, the mother and daughter pair entered VR Spa. Do you think they’re doing anything inside? Could they have just handed over the pen they bid for to someone else, or do some kind of transaction with someone else?” Li Si stopped laughing then and shared his suspicion.
With a sigh, Mu Yuchen turned to take a look at Zhou Zimo with a knowing gaze. “I should’ve brought Su Chen over.”
“Su Chen? Why? Do you think that little amount of money in his card could help you win the bid for that pen?” Zhou Zimo whined unhappily.
“But that police badge he wears is much more useful than the card on you,” Mu Yuchen retorted and then slowly got up to walk towards his room.
“He kind of makes sense too. Well, it’s late. Quickly wash up and sleep then. Chen, I’m sleeping with you tonight!” Zhou Zimo followed him.
“No, you can’t—”
“Fine, you’re making it seem as if you haven’t slept with me before.”
“Get out!” His deep and cold voice reverberated while a slipper flew towards Zhou Zimo.
Evading it, Zhou Zimo did a comical action toward Li Si before running to his room. Li Si was stunned before he left the room while suppressing his laughter.
These two buddies might be quite serious on the daily, but once they were playful, it would truly make one widen their eyes. If Master Su Chen was around, it would be even livelier here. Sometimes, Li Si admired their brotherhood.
They grew up together, went to school together, played together, and after that even went to the military academy together and served in the same troop. These life experiences shaped them. Many people wished they could have this, but all of that could be attributed to the foresight of their family elders.
Alright, he had to go watch Gu Lingsha now!
Li Si carefully closed the door and then rushed toward VR Spa.
