"By the way, Brother Xu, have you two been in touch recently?" Li Xiujun suddenly thought of Brother Xu. After all, Li Xiujun still remembered clearly what Liu Min said last time.
Xu Leyan frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "It's been a week, and I can't contact him at all."
Li Xiujun replied: "Don't worry, I ran into Brother Xu in the hotel a few days ago. Due to the organizer's reasons, we can't contact the outside world. It seems that Brother Xu took on a task on his own."
Xu Leyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She couldn't accept this sudden information at this moment, and asked tentatively: "So, is Brother Xu still in the hotel now?"
"It's not here anymore." said Li Xiujun.
Xu Leyan had no choice but to nod. It seemed that she was no longer in the hotel and had no intention of talking to her or contacting her.
"Xiujun, is there anything else you want to talk about?" Xu Leyan asked politely.
Li Xiujun quickly shook her head: "No, I just wanted to ask about your recent business. Next time I'm free, I'll go to your store to find you."
Xu Leyan was naturally happy: "Okay, then my store is already full, so I won't tell you for now. You must come over next time you have the chance."
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Xu Leyan hung up the phone. She still had the Chaos Skin in her hand, but she didn't move at all. All she could think about was what Li Xiujun had just said to her.
She couldn't help but smile faintly, it turned out that all this was just a joke...
Brother Xu had already arrived in the west at this time. He held the note that Liu Biao had given him in his hand and looked around the local area, trying to follow the address on it to see if he could find any clues.
Brother Xu found a shop and handed over the address on the note: "Old man, I have a question for you. I'm from another place. Where is the address on it? Can you show me the way?"
But Brother Xu heard a voice, and he couldn't help but turn around slowly, his eyes fixed on George.
At this time, George was scratching his head and kicking his legs, as if he was looking for something. Brother Xu frowned, he didn't expect to meet George in this place.
The old man's eyes stayed on the note for a few seconds, then he stretched out the thin fan in his hand and pointed in the direction: "Turn left ahead."
Seeing George getting closer and closer, Brother Xu subconsciously saw the hat in the old man's store and put it on his head: "How much is this?"
"Five dollars."
George walked over, stared at the two of them for a few seconds, and then left.
After the person left, Brother Xu asked tentatively, "Old man, does that person just now live in your area for a long time?"
"He seems to be a very important person. I heard from others that he is an employee of a foreign company. There are too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in our west." The old man sighed. After all, he has lived here for so many years and he knows the current situation very well.
Brother Xu nodded thoughtfully, took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man, then took the note and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The old man said very politely.
Brother Xu walked in the direction the old man said. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to complete the task, it would not be possible in a short time, and he had to settle down here permanently.
In the end, Brother Xu finally found a house. It wasn't very big. The landlord, seeing that Brother Xu was from another place, wanted to rip him off: "My house has a great location, and I wouldn't rent it to ordinary people. But since you're so honest, I'll rent you three thousand a month."
Brother Xu didn't say anything, but went in to take a look at the structure of the house. He couldn't help but snort coldly. Knowing the landlord's thoughts, he pointed out the truth at a glance and said, "Landlord, can you please speak with some conscience?"
The landlord originally thought that this was someone who knew nothing, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it. She said helplessly: "One thousand five hundred, no less."
Brother Xu didn't know how long he could stay here. This place was close to the Western Market. Although the environment here was not good, it could provide him with some conveniences: "Okay."
The landlord had prepared the contract early, and when he saw Brother Xu nod, he quickly took out the contract.
When Brother Xu was signing, the landlord wanted to know what Brother Xu was doing there. Apart from businessmen, ordinary people would not come to this place in the west.
"Hey, young man, are you here for business?" asked the landlord.
Brother Xu glanced at the landlord, handed the signed contract to the landlord, and said bluntly: "This is my private matter, please don't ask."
Seeing that Brother Xu ignored him, the landlord didn't bother to ask about the problem anymore. Instead, he put on a condescending attitude and said, "Okay, when I come to take possession of the house, if there are any problems with it, I'll have to compensate you."
After leaving this sentence, the landlord left.
Brother Xu looked at the houses inside. Layers of white ash fell on the dilapidated bungalows. Brother Xu couldn't stand the moldy smell in the house, so he opened the window to get some fresh air.
Fortunately, Brother Xu saw that the furniture in the room was very new. He thought that it was because no one had lived in the house for a long time, so there was a moldy smell on the walls.
He sat on the stool, crossed his arms, and thought about what he should do next.
Brother Xu turned on his cell phone and saw that there were so many missed calls from Xu Leyan. Brother Xu knew that Xu Leyan had been trying to get through to him these days, but he had never pressed the answer button.
After a few seconds, Brother Xu dialed the number. A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came through: "Hello."
"You finally decided to call me?" Xu Leyan asked back.
Brother Xu knew what Xu Leyan meant by this, but he had no way to explain it. After all, it was the fact.
"Didn't you tell me that you had retired? Then what mission are you on now?" Xu Leyan asked directly.
When Brother Xu heard the news, he was not surprised at all. His first reaction was that it was Li Xiujun who said it, but he couldn't hide the truth about his own affairs, and Xu Leyan would know it sooner or later.
Brother Xu pressed his temples with his hands, a worried look on his face. He said slowly, "I did say that before, but now I need to make money."
Xu Leyan sneered from the other end of the line, as if she had heard a joke: "Need to make money? What did you promise me then?"
Brother Xu could tell that Xu Leyan was too excited.
