Chapter 15: Wang Li's Reminder and Entrustment
Wang Li recalled the events of that night, and told Su Mu the whole story word for word, and after the matter was finished, Su Mu also had an understanding of the whole incident, at least he was no longer confused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
While Su Mu was still thinking, Wang Li returned to Qinia's question: "Mu'er, do you understand, the time when Qinia's little girl appeared in North Star City is not too strange, but her rescue the day before yesterday always makes me feel that this matter is not simple, and there will not be so many coincidences in the world." ”
She didn't have much evidence to prove that her suspicions were correct, but the coincidence of Qinia's appearance and the timing of her arrival in North Star City forced Wang Li, who had a lot of experience, to start believing her instincts and guesses. And it was this intuition that helped Wang Li accompany Su Cheng through nearly twenty years of ups and downs.
After listening to Wang Li's story, Su Mu was a little messy, it was originally just a conflict of interests in the Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems that there are two groups of people, two groups of people with unknown origins and different purposes.
"But don't worry about it now, since Chenia will save us, it means that she won't be plotting against us at the moment. Besides, if we're going back to North Star City to save your father, we'll have to ask for help from Kinia and Jace. Without waiting for Su Mu to speak, Wang Li continued. In the battle with the men in black, the strength of the Jace mercenary group is beyond doubt, and if they can be hired, they will definitely be a big help for the next operation.
"Then I guess, I'll have to rely on Jace and them to go back to North Star City, right?" Although he hadn't fully come to his senses, Su Mu contacted the known clues and revealed the answer.
With the personality of his mother Wang Li, he will not put himself in danger in vain, and since he can let himself go, he will definitely have a plan. Judging from the performance of the likes of Kinia and Jace, they are indeed extraordinary and more than enough to protect themselves. In the current situation, the use of all available resources is key.
Su Mu was digesting this information little by little, fortunately, he was usually clever and often analyzed problems, so that after he sorted out these contexts, he immediately had his own judgment, and he continued to say: "Regardless of the relationship between Qinia and me, or her purpose, judging from her current reaction, she will help us, Mom, you just want to take advantage of this, right?" ”
Wang Li nodded appreciatively, although Su Mu was still young, his thoughts and brains were becoming more and more like Wang Li.
didn't care about the praise for too long, Wang Li continued to talk to Su Mu about her plan in depth: "As you said, plus what your eldest brother said last night about your advantages, if Qinia and they can protect you from entering the city, then you will have a chance to go to your friends." ”
The biggest difference with the eldest brother and the second brother is that Su Mu usually "fools around" a lot, and he knows a lot of people, from Miss Gongzi to gambling gangsters, especially the slum circle of friends represented by Alec, which can be said to be a very important helper for Su Mu. The thieves and pickpockets in the slums are well-informed and can help Su Mu collect evidence.
"In that case, I'll go and negotiate with Chenia tomorrow, and if it coincides with her purpose, I'll agree to escort you back to the city." As he spoke, Wang Li took out a badge from his personal pocket, which was the key to the Lingzi lock cabinet that Su Cheng gave to Wang Li.
Wang Li handed the key to Su Mu, held Su Mu's hand, and said carefully: "Mu'er, Mom handed this over to you, and it is safest to put it on you." ”
Su Mu nodded clearly, he knew that if the other party couldn't get clues from Su Cheng's mouth, then he would suspect Wang Li, he had the least sense of existence at home, and naturally he would not be suspected first, so that he could buy more time to collect evidence and overturn the case for his father Su Cheng.
Wang Li remembered something, and hurriedly reminded his son: "In addition, you must remember that this matter cannot be mentioned to anyone, and it must not be mentioned." Wang Li's application is dignified at the moment, and now every step he takes, he must be cautious, otherwise he will really be doomed.
At this time, Su Yuan happened to get up at night to go to the toilet, and when he passed by Wang Li's room, he happened to hear a voice from the room, although it was not particularly clear, but he could also hear one or two: "Don't mention this matter to anyone." ”
"Mom and third brother have been talking for so long......" Su Yuan didn't care, so he continued to walk to the toilet, just muttered in a low voice casually.
After determining the key point of the matter, Su Mu said goodnight to his mother Wang Li and returned to his room.
The conversation with his mother just now gave Su Mu a certain idea of going back to North Star City to find clues, and his whole thoughts were no longer as chaotic as they were in the morning. However, since he was a child, Su Mu has never experienced such a heavy responsibility, and for nineteen years, he has been living behind his father, mother and two brothers.
While the two brothers were discussing the affairs of the Su family with Su Cheng, Su Mu was wandering around all corners of North Star City without pressure, playing "adventurer" games, fishing by the dock, going to the slums with Alec to "explore", or climbing up to the Cathedral of North Star City to overlook the entire city.
Su Mu has always been free, and he has never had the trouble of survival in his life, nor has he thought about inheriting the family business, doing earth-shattering things to achieve his ideals and ambitions. His ordinary temperament is indisputable, and if he was born in a noble family in Farah, the capital of the empire, he would inevitably be regarded as a "wasted person".
In this era of the jungle, the strong are not eternal, and people do not have an endless lifespan, so the nobles select excellent offspring to inherit the family business, all in order to survive and fight. In this respect, the difference between the common people and the aristocratic gentry is nothing more than that the former is full of food, and the latter is power and greater good.
Although Su Mu has no quarrel with the world, his family is still involved in the normal state of this world - people calculate and hurt each other, even if they don't want to strike first, then they must learn to protect themselves, if not, as soon as Su Mu returns to North Star City, he will be torn apart by reality.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning, Su Mu couldn't sleep for a long time. He had a lot of thoughts, constantly thinking about what kind of conspiracy the Su family was involved in this time, and how he should deal with it, he knew that those people in black were all ruthless characters, and if the situation permitted, they could take their own lives without saying a word. And once he entered North Star City, how many pairs of "eyes" were there looking at him? How many unknowns and surprises can happen?
"Alec can help me gather a lot of useful information, but I don't use the connections of high-ranking officials like my eldest brother and second brother, and many people can't believe it in this situation." Su Mu said to himself, although the Su family has many business partners in North Star City, but in this special situation, there is too much uncertainty to go to these people for help, and it is very likely that they will be betrayed.
If you can have a friend who knows some celebrities, elites in business circles or government officials, it will be of great help to Su Mu's trip.
"There it is! She can! A clever and eccentric girl's face appeared in Su Mu's mind...
