After leaving Guangfa Investment Bank, An Moxue found a small hotel that looked fairly clean nearby and called Huo Yuanchen to tell him the location.
An Moxue went to her room and went to sleep until the phone rang. She woke up instantly, picked up the phone, and was fully awake.
"Hello...it's me...okay."
After hanging up the phone, I changed my clothes, put on makeup, packed my things, and went out to the lobby. Huo Yuanchen was sitting on the guest sofa.
An Moxue walked over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, why didn't you call me when you arrived? I would have come down much faster."
"It's okay, I just arrived, let's go!"
The two left the house and got into Huo Yuanchen's car.
In the car, Huo Yuanchen casually started a conversation: "Miss Jiduo seems to be very busy. It's rare to see you."
"It's alright, I just rarely come to Hong Kong Island, my main business isn't here." An Moxue is used to traveling around, especially after graduating from Puda University, she has been busy traveling around for business and tasks.
"Miss Jido entrusted me with such a large sum of money for investment, and I still don't know what kind of business you're in?"
"I do all kinds of import and export trade, as long as it makes money, just to make a living."
“Miss Jido, you’re so young and you’re already doing import and export business, that’s impressive! Have you considered developing your career in Hong Kong? It’s the economic center of Asia, especially in import and export, where there’s a lot to be gained,” Huo Yuanchen suggested confidently.
Looking at the bustling crowd outside, An Moxue said, "Once the company reaches a certain size, we will consider building a branch here. Now is not the time."
Huo Yuanchen said with a smile, "Then I wish Miss Jiduo's branch office will soon be established in Hong Kong Island."
"Thank you for your kind words."
As the two were talking, the car drove onto an old road. Huo Yuanchen said, "This is the old town, so a lot of things here are quite old and have been around for many years."
"It's great. It has a sense of time and history that the new district can't compare to. Each has its own advantages."
After driving for a while, the car stopped. Huo Yuanchen said, "We're here. The car ahead can't go any further. We'll have to park here and walk over."
An Moxue nodded and got out of the car.
She was somewhat surprised. She had never encountered any missions related to the Liao Gang, and therefore had never paid attention to the Liao Gang. It was truly unexpected that the eldest daughter of the Liao Gang's head lived in an old alley, not far from Huo Yuanchen's Guangfa Investment Bank.
The two walked along, and Huo Yuanchen greeted the elderly people on the street.
"Uncle Fa, having some tea!"
"Yes, Yuanzai is back."
"Sixth Aunt, you didn't go to play cards?"
“We’ve gone. Your mom won money today, we just got back.”
"Really? Did my mom win a lot?"
"There are so many! She ran off so fast when asked to treat us, saying she had important guests at home. Could it be the pretty girl next to you?"
Yes!
When the two people mentioned her, An Moxue smiled and nodded at her sixth aunt.
Liu Shen even greeted An Moxue with a smile: "Pretty girl, come have some tea sometime!"
"OK!"
As they walked, Huo Yuanchen greeted them all the way. He said, "We're all old neighbors. I'm sorry, they meant no harm, they were just too enthusiastic."
"No, it has a very down-to-earth feel to it, which is nice."
The two entered an alley and then a large courtyard. Before even stepping inside, they sensed several powerful presences emanating from within.
An Moxue raised an eyebrow. This is more like the setup for a mafia boss!
An Moxue and Huo Yuanchen went into the house as if nothing had happened.
Upon entering the house, one would find that the furnishings were quite old and valuable; anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance.
"Oh, my darling son, you're finally back! Mom lost terribly today!" she said, wiping away imaginary tears with a handkerchief.
Huo Yuanchen didn't buy it. He took out a wad of cash and handed it to her. Miss Liao immediately beamed, took the money, shook it in her hand, and said, "My son is the best. Win it back tomorrow."
Huo Yuanchen reminded her somewhat helplessly, "Mom, we have guests."
After Huo Yuanchen's reminder, Miss Liao seemed to only then notice An Moxue, and immediately came over enthusiastically, grabbing An Moxue's hand and exclaiming, "What a beautiful woman! Do you have a boyfriend? What do you think of my son?"
"Hello, Miss Liao, I have a boyfriend."
When Huo Yuanchen heard her say that, a slight sense of disappointment flashed through his heart without him even noticing it, but his mother did.
"It's okay, we'll just break up."
"But what can I do? He's too handsome, I don't want to break up with him!" An Moxue teased with a smile.
Miss Liao wasn't angry at all; instead, she joked, "Sigh! It's all my son's fault for being so useless. He doesn't look like me at all, just like his good-for-nothing father. Otherwise, he would have captivated you, wouldn't you say?" After saying that, she winked at her.
An Moxue glanced at her and then at Huo Yuanchen, saying, "Mr. Huo really doesn't look like you. How did he come to be like this? Only his eyes are the same as yours, like black gemstones. It's a real pity."
“Right! I think so too.” As he spoke, he pulled An Moxue down to sit.
After An Moxue sat down, she took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Miss Liao.
Miss Liao asked with some surprise, "A gift for me?"
"Yes, the moment I saw you, I felt this gift would suit you perfectly. Open it and see if it pleases you?" An Moxue genuinely felt this way; it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Sometimes, the way people interact is just that magical.
Huo Yuanchen and Miss Liao were both discerning people. As soon as they saw the exquisitely carved box made of golden nanmu wood, they knew that the contents inside would not be cheap. However, since they were used to seeing fine things, they both acted as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
"Then I'll be impolite and open it." She smiled at An Moxue and said.
An Moxue extended her hand, gesturing for him to proceed.
The box was opened, revealing a lustrous white jade pendant carved with a Pixiu. Miss Liao held it in her hand, and a cool sensation spread from her palm.
She looked at An Moxue with surprise and said, "You gave it to me, so you can't ask for it back? No matter what the reason."
"Of course, I gave her to you because I thought she was a good match for you," An Moxue said sincerely.
"Speak! What do you want from me? As long as it doesn't violate the gang rules, I'll do my best to help you." Miss Liao said, in a good mood.
An Moxue said, "I just want you to help me investigate a few people and a company they're hiding. Just finding out which company it is is enough. Here's the information." As she spoke, An Moxue took a folder out of her bag and handed it to Miss Liao.
Huo Yuanchen was extremely curious. What exactly did Miss Jiduo give his seemingly easy-going but actually very difficult mother? What made her offer to help?
