The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

After Hou Qigui's investigation, it was found that the house next door did once belong to a woman named Gong Yinluo.

But this woman is very mysterious. No information can be found except her name.

Li Muchen went to ask Huang Dashan specifically.

Huang Dashan replied firmly that there is no such person.

"Except for Mrs. Gong, I have never seen any other woman named Gong. Besides, in the past twenty years, there are no beauties within ten miles that I have not known. If there is a woman as beautiful as Mrs. Gong, with the surname Gong, how could I not know?"

Hou Qigui found the intermediary company that handled the transfer procedures for Zhou Shaoyi and found Gong Yinluo's phone number filled in during the transaction. This was the only clue to find this woman.

Unfortunately, when I called this number, it said it was not in the service area.

"I retrieved the relevant information of this number through my connections." Hou Qigui said, "This phone number is rarely used and has never been identified. It is silent most of the time. The most recent call record was three months ago."

"Can you find out who the call was made to?" Li Muchen asked.

"I found it. The owner of that number is..." Hou Qigui paused for a moment, with a strange expression on his face, and then said the person's name - "Na Ru'an."

"What about Ru'an?"

Li Muchen cried out in surprise.

Na Ru'an three months ago was already possessed by the shadow demon. In other words, Gong Yinluo was probably not contacting Na Ru'an, but Ming Pu.

The underworld servant is the only one who knows the truth and the whereabouts of his mother.

Gong Yinluo...could it be the pseudonym of his mother, Gong Lingyan?

Li Muchen's heart was filled with hope again.

It's a pity that Ru'an is dead.

……

Zhou Shaoyi didn't show up again, so the matter of buying the house next door was put on hold for the time being.

Luo Xingchang came a few more times and gave "gifts" to both Butler Hou and Li Axi.

Hou Qigui asked him to lead the construction team into Li's house and repair the main body of Li's house according to the design drawings. However, strict boundaries were drawn. They could only work on the outer garden and the main house as soon as they entered the courtyard, but could not enter the inner courtyard.

The layout of Li's house is a courtyard within a courtyard. Li Muchen and Lin Manqing live in the inner courtyard, which is an independent western courtyard completely wrapped in the entire house.

Boss Wang led several people on patrol all day long. Luo Xingchang tried to enter the inner courtyard several times, but was stopped.

Luo Xingchang looked very anxious, and went to Butler Hou several times, suggesting that the inner courtyard and the backyard should be fucked together. Logically speaking, if the entire project is done together, the efficiency will be higher.

To this end, Luo Xingchang gave many "gifts", but Hou Qigui accepted them all, but he didn't agree. This made Luo Xingchang scold her behind his back.

But he had no choice but to wait for the opportunity.

The opportunity came soon.

On this day, it was Master Qin's sixty-sixth birthday. The disciples of the Qin Clan booked a garden club in the northern suburbs of the capital to celebrate Master Qin's birthday. Almost all the respectable people in the capital went there.

Li Muchen and Lin Manqing also went.

Hou Qigui accompanied him with gifts.

As a rising upstart in the capital, he could not lose to other families in terms of ostentation, so Boss Wang accompanied him along with several bodyguards who were guarding the courtyard.

As a result, apart from Li Axi, the gatekeeper, the only people left in Li House were a cook and a few maids.

Li Axi closed the door of Li's house and took on the task of patrolling the courtyard.

During lunch, Luo Xingchang brought two bottles of good wine and wanted to treat Li Asi to a drink.

The engineering team's lunch is provided by Li Zhai, and the kitchen cook will prepare a separate table for them.

Li Axi originally refused because according to regulations, he could not eat with them, let alone drink.

But there were his fellow villagers in the engineering team, and their enthusiasm made it difficult for him to refuse. He thought that anyway, the house was closed today, the owner and the housekeeper were out, and they would not be back until evening. A few glasses of wine should be fine, so he agreed.

Li Assi was very restrained and drank very little. He did not forget his duty.

But for some reason, he felt a little dizzy after just a few drinks.

Li Axi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but his mind was in a daze. He could only hear the voices of fellow villagers toasting, and his eyes were full of shadows.

"Axi, how could you drink like this?"

Wu Yuchun, who came to deliver fruit to them, came in and saw Li Asi's appearance, and quickly came over to help him, blaming and concerned at the same time.

Luo Xingchang said: "It's okay. Mr. Xi is happy today and drank a few more drinks."

"Don't you know he's still at work? What do you want to do?" Wu Yuchun glared at Luo Xingchang and asked.

Luo Xingchang smiled coquettishly: "Miss Xiao Wu, please help Axi go back to rest first. We are here."

Wu Yuchun said: "No, the young master and his wife have gone out today, and the housekeeper is not here. Axi is drunk. No outsiders can be left in the house. The project is suspended. You can go back first and come back tomorrow."

Luo Xingchang said: "That's not possible. I have a contract with Butler Hou. I can't afford the delay in construction."

The workers also said: "No, if we work less for a day, we will lose a day of money!"

Wu Yuchun said: "I will explain it to Butler Hou and give you an extension for one day."

The worker said: "We have other work to do later, and we have nothing to do today, so why delay us from making money? It's not our fault!"

Wu Yuchun straightened his face and said, "As I said, there is no one in the house today, so we can't keep you here. It's Axi's fault that Axi got drunk. Axi and I will find a way to make up for your losses." superior."

One of the workers seemed to be drunk too, and he cursed and said: "Who do you think you are! Didn't you just fall in love with Li Axi and sneak into Li's house to work as a maid? You are just a salesman, what are you pretending to be in front of us? Pretend, ah!"

Wu Yuchun looked at the worker angrily. She recognized that he was Li Asi's fellow villager and also her fellow villager. At this time, he said such vicious words.

Tears welled up in Wu Yuchun's eyes, but she endured it. She didn't want to argue with the workers. She just said to Luo Xingchang persistently and stubbornly: "Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry. Please take people away now."

Luo Xingchang sneered and said, "Oh, it's really impressive. After becoming a celebrity around Mrs. Li, you turned your back and refused to recognize anyone else! Do you think that a dog from the Li family is nobler than the rest of us?"

The workers around him had angry faces.

"I didn't mean it that way."

"Whether you mean it or not, I won't just wait for you to complain to Mrs. Li tomorrow."

"What do you want to do?" Wu Yuchun had an ominous premonition.

"What to do? Of course I'm blocking your mouth so you can't complain."

Luo Xingchang waved his hand, and several workers pounced on him. As quickly as a leopard, they knocked Wu Yuchun to the ground, tied him up, and sealed his mouth with tape.
