Xia Bingqing nodded, her voice trembling with tears.

"Yes, my brother has indeed been missing for a long time, and there's been no news of him. I thought... I thought something bad had happened to him. Just today, I... I suddenly got news of my brother, but... but I can't reunite with him. So I'm begging Brother Xun, please save my brother, please help me..."

"Now that you have news of him, go find him. If you don't have any money, ask the butler for some."

Mu Nanxun maintained a strictly businesslike attitude. Xia Bingqing's younger brother was also an idle person, so it was good for him to suffer a bit outside.

Upon hearing this, Xia Bingqing shook her head repeatedly and cried even harder.

“Brother Xun…no, it’s not that simple…My brother, he’s in Haishi…I don’t know how he angered a gang leader there, he’s been detained, they say, they say they’re going to cut off his hands and feet in three days. Brother Xun…Right now, right now my father is in prison, my brother is the only boy in our family, if anything happens to him, even if my father dies, he won’t be at peace.”

“Haishi…” Mu Nanxun murmured. He knew this place; it was notoriously unsafe. It was alright within the city, but outside of it, it was practically a haven for gangsters. What was even more perplexing was that a corner of the city was called Savage Village, where the people looked bizarre and incredibly ugly—a place abandoned by God.

Yi Yi didn't know what kind of place this Haishi was, but judging from Mu Nanxun's expression, she knew it was probably a dangerous place.

"Since your brother is in Haishi, how did you get the news?"

Yi Yi found it strange that Xia Bingqing, who never left the house, received the news before them.

Xia Bingqing hesitated for a moment before replying, "I...I...this is...it's from an old friend of mine. He's in Haishi. I heard it from one of his gangster friends. He said the story has spread throughout the Haishi gangs. He heard people describe it, and they said it looks like my brother. Later, he inquired more carefully, got a photo, and sent it to me. It really is my brother...my...my poor brother...if...if his arms and legs were cut off, then...what would I do...waaaah..."

Yi Yi didn't understand the ways of the underworld, but seeing Xia Bingqing crying like this, she couldn't tell whether it was real or fake. But thinking about it, Xia Bingqing probably wouldn't joke about using her own brother like that.

"Don't cry yet. They said three days later, there's still time. They're probably after money. Let's give them some money..."

"No, Yi Yi, they're not after the money. They said my younger brother angered their boss, so... so they're determined to break my brother's legs. Now... now only Brother Xun can save my brother... Brother Xun, please help me..."

Mu Nanxun fell silent. He understood Xia Bingqing's meaning: she wanted him to use his influence to rescue her brother.

This wasn't difficult for him. However, Yi Yi had just given birth, and the baby was only a month old. If he went to Haishi, he would have to negotiate with the gangsters, and he wouldn't be back for several days.

"I'll send Xiao Fang..."

"No, Brother Xun..." Xia Bingqing sobbed a few times, looking very pitiful.
