Xiao Bai still didn't know what happened in the village. She had been searching for Murong An in Su City all day but couldn't find him. Now that it was getting dark, she could only find a place to rest.
"Book a room with two double beds."
As soon as she stepped into the door of a hotel, she heard a familiar voice coming from inside. Xiao Bai looked up and saw a beautiful woman with a slim figure wearing a moon-white cheongsam standing in front of the counter, and a handsome young man next to her. They were Li Ya and Li Ming!
"Sister Li Ya, why are you here?"
Xiao Bai hurried forward to say hello. They hadn't been in touch for a long time since they parted in the Dark Domain.
"Ah! It's Xiaobai!" Li Ya was also very happy to see an acquaintance.
"How is your health? I heard that you lay in bed for a long time before you woke up?" Xiao Bai turned around and asked Li Ming.
"Fortunately, thanks to you, I almost died!" Li Ming rolled his eyes. He remembered that if she hadn't stuffed the spirit core into his mouth, he wouldn't have suffered so much!
"How can you talk like that! You can enter the enlightenment stage, don't you have Xiaobai to thank?" Li Ya slapped Li Ming on the back of the head and said to Xiao Bai with a smile: "This kid likes to talk nonsense, don't bother with him. In the Dark Domain, they are still grateful for your and Lai Fu's care!"
"Hehehe~" Xiao Bai felt a little guilty. After all, she didn't seem to take care of anything. Lai Fu didn't take care of them as much.
"Oh, yes, Lai Fu is here too!" Xiao Bai called out to the outside of the door.
"Woof woof woof!" Lai Fu stood at the door wagging his tail, looking very happy.
"That's right! Can dogs live here?" Xiao Bai turned and asked the front desk.
"OK."
"Then get me a king-size room."
"Why book a room? Sleep with me tonight!" Li Ya hugged Lai Fu and said to Xiao Bai with a smile, "It's just right for us to catch up on the past."
The two men agreed on this, and the three of them and the dog went out to have a meal together again.
Only then did Xiao Bai realize that Li Ya and Li Ming were also here to investigate human trafficking. The enlightened monks who came to Su City with them last time had lost two people inexplicably in Su City and had never found them. This time, they saw on the news that a huge fraud den had been busted here and there were many survivors, so they came to take a look.
"I'm also here to look for my friend, but I've already checked on all the survivors from the hideout in the old city yesterday, and there aren't any enlightened cultivators." Xiao Bai said.
"Today, another fraud and trafficking park in the south of the city was eradicated by enthusiastic citizens. When the guards arrived, the armed personnel inside were half-crippled. Many survivors were rescued, but there were no enlightened monks. It is estimated that the abducted enlightened monks were taken away by the escaped boss of the park." Li Ming said. They had made arrangements before, so they received the news shortly after the incident.
Xiao Bai frowned. She didn't know the news yet, so she asked again, "Have you been to see it?"
"Well, we have a friend in the Sioux City Guard. We checked today when we arrived, but we couldn't find him. Maybe he was moved."
"Then have you seen a tall, thin boy with long hair who is particularly handsome and has a special temperament among the survivors? He is wearing ancient costume!" Xiao Bai asked hurriedly.
Li Ming and Li Ya looked at each other and shook their heads.
Murong An's appearance and temperament are so impressive that it is impossible not to have an impression of her if you have really seen her, Xiao Bai sighed.
Now all I can do is pray that this guy just went out to work and forgot to go home. Damn! Even working can get him kidnapped! With his looks, even someone who didn't intend to kidnap him would be tempted, right? No way, was he kidnapped by some woman?!
Xiao Bai felt even more upset! So she changed the subject: "Li Ming, have you found out what happened last time?"
Li Ming knew that Xiao Bai was talking about the incident where someone had put a spirit core in a package and framed him. Now it was his turn to be annoyed. He turned his head impatiently and said, "What do you care?"
Li Ya sighed and said, "He's worried about this. We have a rough idea of what's going on, but we can't find any evidence, and the clan leader can't convict or punish him. Xiao Ming just doesn't want to see those people, so he came out with me to look for them."
"Alas, every family has its own problems!"
The three of them sighed in unison.
Xiao Bai was so worried about Murong An that he couldn't even eat, but Murong An didn't even think that someone might be worried about him. He was busy dealing with Fatty Huang and Yingyu.
After finishing the business in the industrial park today, he rushed to the transaction meeting place of the boss of the industrial park with Yingyu in his hand. However, he was still a step too late. When they arrived, the place was empty. It was estimated that the middle-aged man in the office had already passed the message and moved the people away.
Murong An looked at the fat yellow man who was begging for mercy on the ground with a cold look in his eyes. He thought that it would be better to kill such a burden and take out the dark core to feed the red spider lily.
As if seeing Murong An's murderous intention, Ying Yu quickly begged for mercy: "Boss, if you kill me, you will only get a useless dark core, but keeping me is very useful! I... I can help you make money! I can give you all the money I earn! You know, among humans, no one can survive without money!"
Murong An's raised hand suddenly paused because of the word "money". He remembered that he seemed to be working here just as an excuse to earn money. If he went back without earning a penny, wouldn't it be unreasonable? Moreover, he still owed Xiao's mother rent and food expenses!
As if seeing Murong An's hesitation, Ying Yu continued to complain: "Big brother, you don't know! Working in human society is very hard. Not only do you have to work from nine to nine and work overtime every day, but you also have to look after the boss's face. And this boss will dislike you, as if you owe him something. He wishes you were 007, and even if you work yourself to death, you won't get a raise. He just keeps promising you nothing every day! It's really not easy to earn a few ounces of silver! Woo woo woo..."
As he spoke, Yingyu wiped away a tear of bitterness! Thinking of him, Yingyu, he was doing very well in the dark world. Although he wasn't a big boss, he was able to maneuver between various factions with ease, and everyone would give him face. Who would have thought that in the real world, he would be stumped by a few banknotes?
Looking at Yingyu crying miserably, Murong An's heart began to waver. What he said seemed to make sense!
"I may not take your dark core, but all the money you earn from working in the future must belong to me!"
