"Alright."
Jiang Mu quickly pulled his hand away and covered her mouth.
"Don't delay the important matter, I'll let you get it back later."
"You..." Yan Fei was dumbfounded. How could this person be so shameless...?
However, she knew that now was not the time to dwell on these things. After glaring at Jiang Mu, she went to the table, sat down, and asked.
What are you planning to do now?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu first made a shushing gesture, and then gently pressed his ear against the wall.
On the other side of the wall was the private room reserved by the Zheng family.
"Damn it, how come this wall is so soundproof..."
Jiang Mu murmured.
If this continues, the plan will fall through...
“Host.” At this moment, the system’s cold voice sounded again, “It is recommended that you purchase the Sound Enhancer (max). According to the system’s calculations, this item will greatly help your operation.”
"Buy, buy, buy!"
Jiang Mu bought it immediately.
"Okay, your transit card... no, the account shows Mora transactions."
The system sent a message that the payment would be automatically deducted.
"So expensive!"
Before Jiang Mu could react, a small device landed in his hands. Jiang Mu stared at it and was stunned.
"This? It's just a stethoscope, and your bureau wants 80,000 Mora!"
Jiang Mu roared inwardly.
"Please do not doubt the reliability of the system's items," the system said calmly. "Anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."
The system's cold voice gradually calmed Jiang Mu down. Based on the system's performance in the previous few instances, Jiang Mu began to have confidence in the stethoscope.
"By the way," Jiang Mu suddenly said, "when will your previous... System-chan finish upgrading?"
"The main system is currently upgrading," the system replied in its usual cold voice. "The exact time required for the update is unknown."
"Sigh." Hearing this, Jiang Mu could only sigh.
More than ten days have passed since the system started updating, but there has been no news. When I ask the system, it only replies with the same message in a cold voice.
I won't go into the specifics of the news, lest someone accuse me of padding the word count...
The previously obtained item, Eye of God - Pseudo, was hanging on Jiang Mu's waist, emitting a faint yellow glow belonging to the rock element. Jiang Mu gently stroked it with his hand, seemingly taking it from the Eye of God, but actually taking out the "stethoscope" from the system space.
"This is..." Yan Fei asked curiously.
Jiang Mu stretched out one end of the receiver and handed it to Yan Fei.
"Put this in your ear."
"oh?"
Yan Fei took it, and although she was very curious, she did as she was told.
Jiang Mu inserted the other end into his ear and then stuck the "metal disc" to the wall.
The moment the two came into contact, a clear sound came from the "earpiece".
"Da da da da da..."
This was the sound of the Zheng family head pacing back and forth in the room. Judging from the frequency, he seemed very anxious.
After about ten minutes of this, the door to the next room creaked open, and the Zheng family head hurriedly went to greet him.
Is it safe here?
A deep voice rang out.
"My lord, please rest assured." The Zheng family head's voice remained as cunning as ever. "I've already surveyed the area; this is the best-soundproofed private room in all of Liyue Harbor. Everyone around is busy with their own affairs, and just now there was a shout from next door; I guess it was a young girl..."
"Alright," the "official" said impatiently. "I didn't call you here to talk about these things. How's the matter I asked you to do going?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency," the Zheng family head seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still replied, "That old man Hu found some simpleton from somewhere who insists on claiming to be Hu Tao's fiancé, and for some reason, my son has been extremely resistant to the engagement lately. Before long..."
"Alright," the deep voice continued, "I don't want to hear any more excuses from you. Remember, all I want is the result; the process is irrelevant."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The head of the Zheng family quickly agreed.
"About that kid you mentioned," the deep voice continued, "investigate his background. If he doesn't have any powerful connections, the men I lend you will be enough to take him out."
"Isn't that old man Hu and the entire Rebirth Hall his backers?"
The Zheng family is the main road.
"As long as the plan goes smoothly, the Hall of Rebirth will be yours sooner or later. Since it's yours, why would you need these things?"
"Yes, sir, you are right."
The head of the Zheng family quickly and respectfully replied.
"Alright." After giving a few more instructions, the "master" stood up. "That's about it. How you do it is up to you."
"Yes," the Zheng family head said respectfully, then seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying.
“Um…you see, I’ve been doing pretty well with my recent missions, so…Miss Ellie…take a look…is this…”
"Understood." Upon hearing this, the owner of the deep voice clapped his hands, and the door opened again. This time, a light footstep came from inside.
"Ellie, serve Master Zheng well."
"yes."
A charming voice rang out. As the footsteps faded into the distance, it seemed that person had left…
Immediately following was a rustling sound, indicating that the two were making some preparations, such as unbuttoning their robes...
What followed was a series of long moans from women and low growls from men. This seductive sound, like a demonic chant, lingered in the ears for days afterward, echoing endlessly...
Jiang Mu stiffened, looking somewhat embarrassed at Yan Fei beside him. The latter was also blushing, glaring at him with an unfriendly expression. Then, she shakily stretched out her hand, placed it in front of Jiang Mu, and held up three fingers.
"Three...three years is the minimum..."
"Cough cough..." Jiang Mu coughed a few times.
"Force majeure, force majeure..."
Having said that, he continued listening to the sounds coming from the other side...
Time passed quickly, and about three minutes later, the panting from the next room gradually subsided...
That's it?
Jiang Mu was stunned. He looked at Yan Fei, only to find that she also had a look of disdain on her face.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Mu smiled.
"So you're an experienced driver too..."
After "finishing the business," a rustling sound came from inside the room, followed by a crisp "snap" sound.
"Goodness, they even had a goodbye kiss..."
Jiang Mu grumbled. This old guy actually has quite a sense of humor…
"It's over..." Yan Fei was too tired to complain anymore. She wanted to take off the receiver, but Jiang Mu pressed her hand down as soon as she raised it.
"What's wrong?"
"Shh-"
Jiang Mu pointed.
"The real show is about to begin."
As they were talking, the man with the deep voice returned again.
"How about it?"
He asked.
"I've already used what you gave me."
"That's good."
As he spoke, the man chuckled softly.
"You've played with our Fatui's women, and you think you can live a good life? No way!"
