Yun City.
Hospital, VIP room.
Pei Wei had a separate room, while Su Xiaorou and Qin Ye Peng were next door.
He hadn’t returned to the Imperial City yet; he was staying in the hospital to recuperate from his injuries.
Of course, he was in a very bad mood.
"Mr. Pei..."
"Get out!"
He heard an unfamiliar voice and imdiately shouted in displeasure, not even glancing to see who it was.
"Quite the temper!" An old voice rang out.
Pei Wei imdiately turned his head to look and quickly put on a smile, personally coming to greet, "It’s Uncle Si, how co you ca in person?"
"I ca to see how you let things get so out of hand!" said Old Man Si with a very displeased tone.
Pei Wei smiled apologetically, "These actions in Yun City, even my dad didn’t know about them. I only found out what he was doing after he took down Qingshi Hall."
"Is your dad the president? Or is Gu Xiaozhan the president?" Old Man Si sarcastically replied.
Pei Wei’s expression turned a bit ugly, "Gu Xiaozhan holds military power. My dad is the president, but without military power, he has no real power. Uncle Si, is there a way to strip him of his military authority?"
"Do you think this is child’s play?" Old Man Si laughed coldly, "Gu Xiaozhan has money and power, do you think he’d hand it over so easily?"
Pei Wei fell silent.
Old Man Si took out a photograph and showed it to him.
"Have you seen her?"
Pei Wei looked at it; it was a woman around thirty years old. Her features were rather ordinary, but her figure was slender.
For so reason, the first person he thought of when he saw the woman’s height was Mu Anhan.
As the number one beauty in Country A, her height also left other won far behind.
But Mu Anhan was young and beautiful, even if she were in her thirties, she wouldn’t look this ordinary.
"I haven’t seen her. This is..."
"She is called Xiao Tang, a well-known expert in gem betting," Old Man Si said. "But I’ve asked many people, and they all said they’ve never heard of Xiao Tang or seen this woman."
"A gem betting expert?" Pei Wei mused, "Did she appear at the gem betting event that day?"
"No," Old Man Si shook his head, "I specifically sent people to check at the venue that day, and she was nowhere to be found."
Pei Wei nodded, "When did she appear, and when did she disappear?"
"The day you arrived in Yun City, and then she disappeared the next day," Old Man Si sighed, "I’ve turned all of Yun City upside down, yet there’s no trace of her."
"Isn’t it possible that she’s not from Yun City and has already left?" Pei Wei hypothesized.
Old Man Si was quite disappointed, "That’s entirely possible."
"Uncle Si, why are you looking for her?" Pei Wei asked him.
Old Man Si’s brows furrowed, "Our Qingshi Hall was dismantled, cutting off our smuggling operation. She’s very good at gem betting, and if we could use her skills, making money wouldn’t be a problem. Once we’ve made enough money to compete with Gu Xiaozhan, taking away his military authority wouldn’t be a difficult matter."
"Indeed, I’ll also send soone to look for her, and if there’s any news, I’ll inform Uncle Si imdiately." Pei Wei put the photo away.
After Old Man Si left, Pei Wei lay back in bed.
He pulled up a photo of Mu Anhan on his phone and compared it with the photo of Xiao Tang to see if there was any connection between them.
Any common points? Any differences?
