Chapter Nine: Mu Xing is Kidnapped

ying from above. His eyes were as indifferent as if he were looking at a lowly ant, not worth paying attention to at all.Standing beside him, Zhao Jin glanced at the oblivious Tang Yingying, rolling h...Fu Lingxiao saw that she didn't move for a long time, and raised his eyes to look at her, "Why don't you come over to eat"

"Oh."

Mu Xing walked over and sat down, then looked at Wu Guanta: "Uncle Wu, aren't you joining us for dinner"

What a sweet child, still thinking about him.

"Mr. Wu, you guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen later."

Actually, Fu Lingxiao had proposed inviting Wu Guanjia to eat with him more than once, but Wu Guanjia refused on the grounds of respect and hierarchy. In Wu Guanjia's view, respecting social hierarchy and upholding proper etiquette was paramount; as a steward, he should lead by example.

"Eat."

Fu Lingxiao picked up his chopsticks, moving slowly and gracefully.

Mu Xing was hungry a long time ago. She picked up her bowl and devoured the food in it, finishing a whole bowl of rice in an instant. Holding her empty bowl, she smiled at Fu Lingxiao, "Uncle Xiao, can I have another bowl"

"You can eat as much as you want."

With Fu Lingxiao's words, Mu Xing felt at ease and refilled her bowl, eating large bites.

Seeing her eat with gusto, Fu Lingxiao even felt like the food tonight tasted particularly good.

Mu Xing ate five bowls of rice in one breath, leaving Wu the housekeeper dumbfounded. This child looked so thin and small, how could he eat so much...

Won't you just keep going

Feeling Wu Guanjia's gaze, Mu Xing raised her head and smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I usually eat three bowls, but these dishes are too delicious, so I ate two more bowls."

"It's fine, there's enough."

As the saying goes: "It's a blessing to be able to eat," this child is truly blessed.

"No need, no need. Dinner shouldn't be eaten too much, just 80% full is enough."

Mu Xing waved her hand and looked at Fu Lingxiao: "Uncle, are you full"

"Um."

Fu Lingxiao had already finished eating. He just wanted to see how much this little girl could eat before she sat down now.

To be honest, the appetite is truly astonishing.

Mu Xing got the answer, got up and began to clear the dishes.

Coming back to her senses from the shock of having only eaten a few bites out of five bowls of rice, Wu Guanyin hurriedly stopped her: "There are servants in the house, you don't need to do these things. You just need to do what the young master instructs."

Mu Xing was a little unaccustomed to it, but she didn't insist.

When she saw Fu Lingxiao leave the dining room, she immediately followed him, “Little Uncle, is there anything you need me to do”

Fu Lingxiao walked upstairs, "No."

Mu Xing stood at the foot of the stairs, looking up at the man's tall back with her small head and asked cautiously, "Can I go out now I have something to do..."

Fu Lingxiao didn't even turn his head, "Okay, come back early and be careful."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Mu Xing dashed out the door.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the second-floor bedroom, a man stared intently at the night, the petite figure getting farther and farther away. He took out his phone and sent a message: "Follow her."

The next second, a black shadow on the roof shot out like an arrow from a string.

Mu Xing rushed eagerly towards the old Mu family residence.

For twelve years, she had countless times thought of going home to have a look, but her master was afraid that she would be in danger and wouldn't let her go down the mountain no matter what.

She bore it patiently, waiting and waiting, finally until this moment arrived.

The capital city has changed dramatically over the past twelve years, it's no longer the hazy image she remembers, even the names of the streets are different.

She stood blankly at the crossroads for a long time, and finally decided to ask someone for directions.

Mu Xing looked around and fixed her gaze on a middle-aged man walking straight towards her. She immediately ran up to him and asked, "Uncle, do you know Chunxi Road"

"I don't know, I don't know!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently and walked away.

Mu Xing puffed out her cheeks, ready to ask someone else, when a car suddenly stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, and a young man stuck his head out and asked, "Little sister, are you lost Would you like me to take you home"

Such a kind big brother!

He looks handsome and innocent, like a good person!

But, do you know Chunxi Road

Mu Xing looked at him with worry.

The man nodded, “Of course I know, get in the car, big brother will send you home!”

"Thank you!"

Mu Xing happily pulled open the car door and got in.

A cunning flash crossed the man's eyes as he started the car.

Shen Lue, who had been secretly following Mu Xing, couldn't help but sigh when he saw her get into a stranger's car: "Little Star, your heart is truly big. You dare to get into anyone's car."

The car stopped and started, finally driving into the underground parking lot of a club.

Mu Xing glanced around, feeling a little uneasy. "Brother, aren't you supposed to take me home Where are we"

"My brother has something urgent to take care of here. He'll send you back as soon as he's done."

The man parked the car, "It's just upstairs. I don't feel comfortable leaving you here alone. Come up with me."

Mu Xing didn't think much of it and followed the man into an elevator, going upstairs to a room. The man pointed at the sofa and told Mu Xing, "You sit down first, I'll make a phone call."

Then he walked to the door and made a phone call.

After a while, a heavily made-up woman walked over quickly, her voice impatient: "I've been busy to death, you kid, spit it out!"

"Sister Li, don't be angry!" The man gestured toward the room. "Look what I brought you."

"What are you looking at!"

The woman known as Li Jie frowned and looked into the room. The young girl sat quietly on the sofa, beautiful and delicate. Her face was so tender, you could squeeze out water with just a pinch.

"Not bad, this little girl."

Li Jie looked at Mu Xing with satisfaction and nodded. Then she said to the man, "You didn't kidnap her, did you I want you to know that I don't take in kidnapped people, it would be a hassle to investigate later."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately concocted a story. "No way! Everyone these days is as cunning as a fox. There aren't that many fools who would be tricked into giving me someone to trade! This is his father owing me money, so he pawned her off on me."

"Looking at him, he seemed like a little chick," she whispered.

That's about right.

Li Jie took out two hundred-dollar bills from her bra, "Go get some supper. When you earn money later, we'll split it 50/50."

"Sister Li, be bright then. I'm leaving."

The man took the money and slipped away quietly.

Li Jie twisted her waist like a water snake and sashayed into the room. "What's your name How old are you"

Mu Xing didn't answer, glancing out the door before asking the woman in front of her, "Where is the person who just brought me here"

He's gone.

Li Jie pulled Mu Xing up and looked at her carefully from head to toe. "You're quite pretty, and you have a good figure. It's just your clothes are a bit dowdy."

She took a backless dress from the hanger, “Try this on for me.”

Mu Xing's eyes darkened, and she finally reacted.

It turns out that what she thought was kindness, was actually someone else's ill intentions!

She clenched her fists in anger, gritting her teeth to chase after that man, but she was pulled back by Lily, "Where are you going"

"I'm going to beat that bastard to death!"

Her fists clenched, knuckles cracking. Dare to sell her She'd beat him until his ancestors wouldn't recognize him!

Li Jie advised, "Don't blame others, this is your fate. Besides, people are gone, where do you think you can find them"t Mr. Fu's key, it would be impossible. Of course, I wouldn't let Mr. Fu make this trip for nothing. This time, in our collaboration, Mr. Fu is also on the list."Fu Lingxiao asked faintly, "When"Li Hu...
