In the private room.
He Lai repeated Su Jinyu's words and looked up at the person on the sofa.
The man was leaning on the soft sofa in a very lazy manner, as if all his weight was entrusted to this comfortable piece of furniture. Between his slender fingers was a cigarette that was about to burn out, with a faint and flickering flame at the end of the cigarette, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim light.
Under the firelight, one could clearly see a pair of deep eyes like a pool of water beneath the man's high brow. Those eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, yet they exuded a mysterious aura that was hard to fathom.
How Lai has been following his boss for five years, obeying his every word, yet he never seems to understand him, nor dares to speculate on his own.
"Ms. Su, you look like someone who came to the casino."
Apart from the two of them, few people knew that Master Wu funded Mu Sheng to build the "Spider Web".
Apparently, Grandpa Wu told his granddaughter, Su Jinyu.
His fingers were burned by the faint flame of the cigarette butt. Mu Sheng came to his senses, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and lazily put his legs on the sofa, "Send someone to catch up with her immediately."
"You want to see her now?"
"Um"
He Lai ran out of the casino in a hurry and drove to the Governor's Mansion. Fortunately, he drove fast enough and caught up with Su Jinyu's car in front of the Governor's Mansion.
Su Jinyu looked at him with a half-smile, "Did you find the person?"
He Lai wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "The boss came back right after the young lady left. When he heard your name, he immediately asked me to pursue you..."
Su Jinyu didn't say much, and followed He Lai back and forth, arriving at the third floor of the casino.
After leading the person into the room, He Lai retreated.
Su Jinyu had never met Mu Sheng before, but she had never heard of him on purpose.
In her previous life, when she was kicked out by the Shen family, she also came to No. 66 for help, but only then did she know that No. 66 had a new owner and Mu Sheng had disappeared.
At this moment, a figure suddenly came into view.
It was a man in a black leather jacket, tall and straight, like a rocking mountain. His hair was cut very short, forming a neat and tidy crew cut, which further highlighted his resolute and courageous temperament.
The face was like a fine sculpture, with clear lines and full of three-dimensionality. Under the high nose bridge, the lips were tightly closed into a straight line, revealing a kind of approachable indifference. What was particularly eye-catching was that there was a thin scar at the corner of his eye, which was like a lightning strike, adding a bit of ferocity and harshness to his already cold face. This scar did not make him look ugly, but instead became part of his unique charm, making people know at a glance that this person was definitely not a good person and was definitely not someone who could be easily provoked.
The man raised his eyelids and asked casually, "Miss Su, you're looking for me?"
Su Jinyu had never seen such a... bandit-like man. He had the arrogance and arrogance of a bandit and a soldier.
I was mesmerized for a moment.
Until the man asked, she was stunned for two seconds before saying, "I do have something to talk to you about."
The light in the room was a little dim. She took two steps forward and said, "Grandpa said he can come to you if he needs anything."
Mu Sheng took out a file bag from the table and handed it to her.
"What you want..."
Su Jinyu opened the file bag and saw the words "explosion" and "bomb" on the paper. "How did you know?"
Mu Sheng habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket, then thought of something and put it on the table.
"When the explosion happened yesterday, I checked... Miss had been to No. 66 before. She reported Mr. Wu's name today. It might be for some unimportant matter."
After sealing the file bag, Su Jinyu bowed to Mu Sheng and said, "Thank you, Boss Mu."
Mu Sheng's eyelids jumped and he raised his hand, "놊必"
"I know you gave me this news for your grandfather's sake," Su Jinyu handed over the bank deposit certificate she had prepared, "I'll tell you about it later when I need to trouble Boss Mu."
Mu Sheng's eyes were fixed on the large bank deposit slip, but what attracted his attention was a pair of slender, white fingers like green onions.
Under the dim light, the hands seemed to radiate a mysterious light, like moonlight falling on pearls, delicate and soft. Each finger was slender and straight, with neatly trimmed nails and a light pink hue, like a carefully crafted work of art. They were gently placed on the deposit slip, slightly bent, and seemed to carry a subtle sense of tension and expectation.
"What did Master Wu tell you?"
"What?"
"My business..."
"Nothing," Su Jinyu understood what he meant. "Grandpa just said that he funded you to build the 'Spider Web' and you paid him for providing information."
Mu Sheng rubbed his temples and didn't know where to start.
He looked at Su Jinyu, his lips pressed into a straight line, "Do you remember me?"
"I... have seen you?"
Su Jinyu looked at the man's aggressive face. If she had seen it before, she might forget it.
"Do you really remember?"
The man took a few steps closer, his aggressive gaze fixed on her.
“…”
"What about before the age of 8?"
"Eight?"
Su Jinyu recalled that she was at her grandparents' house before she was eight years old. It was several years ago, but according to the time of her previous life, it has been several years.
She remembered her grandfather's kindness, his wholehearted kindness to her.
Remember Mom, Aunt Wu...
And her little friend...
She looked at the man's features, and it seemed... as if they were a little familiar.
"Wood...head?"
She was somewhat certain.
Mu Sheng's cold and distant aura suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to rub his face like a puppy, "I have changed so much? The young lady actually just recognized me?"
“It’s really you!”
Su Jinyu screamed in surprise and moved closer to take a look.
This change is huge, almost like a person.
When she was young, she had just lost her mother who was seriously ill at the age of one. When her grandfather took her out to see a doctor, he picked up a child in the snow.
Since she brought the child home, her illness has improved significantly.
Grandpa thought that the child could protect her, so he let the child be her playmate. Although he was called a playmate, in fact, Mu Tou was five years older than her, so it would be an exaggeration to say that he raised her.
only……
She looked at the exceptionally tall and well-built man in front of her, who looked nothing like the skinny, small figure she had in mind.
"Are you really a fool?"
Mu Sheng slightly raised his sword-like sharp eyebrows, and at the same time, the corners of his well-defined mouth slowly rose, outlining a faint arc, and he uttered four words softly - "genuine"
It was as loud as a large bell, echoing in the air for a long time. These four simple words carried an unquestionable confidence and determination, making people believe in what he said.
