Chapter 237, 238 Distress
Chapter 1 Distress
Ye Mu really stood in place as she said, and the young master and the old lady who had completely walked out of the house beside her couldn't help but stand. Looking at Ye Mu's gaze was vague, as if he wanted to completely peel her skin and bones, and see what was hidden inside!
"Why don't you all get out of here!" When Old Man Zhou saw that those people hadn't gone out yet, he immediately became angry again.
Young Master Zhou and the old lady had no choice but to walk out of the door, but the expressions on their faces were really not very good-looking. At this juncture, the old man's body may have problems at any point, and the old man hasn't said anything yet, this huge Zhou family, so many children and grandchildren, where to go, is really a problem they are very, very concerned about! So, despite the coercion of the old man, how can they rest assured?!
Young Master Zhou and the old lady finally went out, the door of the room was closed, and only Old Master Zhou, Jin Yan and Ye Mu were left in the house!
Jin Yan handed Ye Mu a reassuring look, Ye Mu understood and knew that Jin Yan had probably told the old man, so the old man probably wanted to question her now.
"Girl, you said my body was poisoned? Why do you say that? Or is this just another way of trying to win my attention and pave the way for you and Ayan's affairs? Hmph, if that's the case, I advise you to restrain your mind earlier, and if you want to get something cheap from the old man, it's almost impossible! The old man's face was unusually grim.
Ye Mu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression, Old Man Zhou still cares about his own intentions until now! thought that Ye Mu was just trying to win his attention!
Ye Mu is really strange, could it be that Old Man Zhou has been comfortable for so many years, has his brain really become a pot of paste? Everything will be thought about in such a small place, which is really not atmospheric at all.
Ye Mu smiled coldly and said, "Old Man Zhou, you think too highly of your status, and you also think of my time too idle." β
"What do you mean?" Old Man Zhou frowned.
"Quite simply, I don't have time for those boring things, so, believe it or not." Ye Mu said lightly.
Old Man Zhou's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were always staring at Ye Mu, as if he wanted to find some flaws in her expression, but he was destined to be disappointed, Ye Mu had a clear conscience, and she never deliberately wanted to please the old man.
And the more frank Ye Mu was, the more impatient Old Man Zhou's heart became.
Yes, with the glory of Old Man Zhou's life, he has never seen anything, and his mind is not comparable to that of a very human being. He was indeed testing Ye Mu and observing Ye Mu. And Ye Mu's performance really shocked him. This seemingly ordinary little girl is so calm.
Old Man Zhou finally put down his posture, smiled slightly, and said, "Ye girl, then you can tell me what is going on with my body." β
Ye Mu still couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face, and said lightly: "Old Man Zhou himself should also be aware of his body." As for the rest, it's really just my conjecture, and I can't make a definite conclusion until the test confirms the diagnosis. It can only be said that it is intuition. β
Ye Mu did not shy away from it, and said directly.
Old Man Zhou glanced at Ye Mu deeply. The little girl in front of him really made him more frightened the more he looked at it. If it were an ordinary girl, even if she couldn't be sure when she got such a very important piece of news, she would definitely explain it in great detail in order to attract his attention, and even make up some arguments. In short, no matter how you say it, it's possible, but it definitely won't be like the girl in front of you, a simple sentence is gone, and the meaning of the words is not flattering at all.
Old Man Zhou's mind turned back and forth, and finally turned into a faint smile..." Check how to do it and where to do it. β
Ye Mu raised his head suddenly, very surprised, and even stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but glance at Jinyan before looking at the old man again. Why is the old man suddenly so good at talking? Or is he always pretending, always tempting?
Ye Mu's face became a little cloudy, what she hated the most was temptation, believing is believing, not believing is not believing, such a hypocritical temptation is really annoying!
But in this situation, she is not willing to make any more extraneous branches. Let's take it as a way to return his father's affection for Jinyan.
Ye Mu said expressionlessly: "This is not something I can interfere with, Jinyan will choose the place to do the inspection." And the time depends on Mr. Zhou, to draw it up to you. Of course, I have a request, don't let me see any of the Zhou family except you. I don't want to be forced to make a report with a murder weapon! β
Old Man Zhou's face suddenly darkened, he just nodded briefly, and then said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it." If you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, you must have the consciousness of going to hell! β
Ye Mu's eyes trembled, sure enough, he couldn't underestimate any old man who came out of that era!
I don't know how Jinyan discussed the specific situation with the old man, anyway, Jinyan and Ye Mu left the Zhou family's mansion that day. And the old man said that after the time was set, Ye Mu would be notified of them.
Out of the Zhou family's mansion, Ye Mu only felt that even the air was a little fresher. Sure enough, she just didn't have the blessing to be able to live in a big family. Could this be the so-called little family, Ye Mu smiled and shook his head.
Two days have passed in a flash, and Jinyan probably has some tasks to do, so he is not at home during the day, so he only comes back at night. He didn't deliberately want to hide it from Ye Mu, but Ye Mu didn't want to inquire. Because in her opinion, she is not really a member of that organization, and has not yet negotiated with that so-called leader. Because she didn't know the outcome of the negotiation, she still had some evasion in her heart. thought that she tried not to know so many things, and then even if the negotiation did not go well, she could have a chance to retreat, in fact, since she learned about that organization and was favored by that organization, she has no way back! It was the answer she vaguely knew, and it was the question she had been running away from.
During the day, Ye Mu went to the dojo as usual. But I got an unexpected piece of news. The little fat man Pang Panpan is gone!
Ye Mu felt a little strange, with the situation of the little fat man, it had already cost so much money to get the opportunity to come to the dojo to study, which was very difficult, so he had the least reason to skip class! However, listening to the red-haired Shen Xiangqian, the little fat man didn't come yesterday. It's all here today, and I probably won't come.
It turned out that since Ye Mu introduced the little fat man to the red-haired ones, although the red-haired ones were very disdainful at first, but after seeing the real chess strength of the little fat man, they also became familiar with the little fat man, and even welcomed the little fat man to join their group, without discriminating against the little fat man's family background. According to their words, although they are the second ancestors, they are the heroes who appreciate people the most. A few children, but it's funny.
The red-haired people roughly knew that the little fat man's family conditions were not good, but they didn't really understand it. Therefore, when Ye Mu explained the little fat man's family situation to the red-haired people, after comprehensive analysis, everyone didn't think that the little fat man would skip class. Because in the past, no matter whether it was windy or snowy, the little fat man had never been absent from the dojo class!
Therefore, Ye Mu and the red-haired people decided to go to the little fat man's house after class at noon.
These children are really the eldest young masters, and as soon as they enter this chaotic town at the junction of urban and rural areas, they are dirty and messy, which immediately makes several eldest young masters at a loss. But several people quickly adapted, and none of them said they wanted to quit.
When Ye Mu followed his memory to the tin shed surrounded by plastic sheeting, the red-haired people all showed incredible expressions, as if they didn't expect that this kind of place could also live in people.
Ye Mu was about to go in, the little fat man's mother happened to hold the little baby girl and opened the plastic sheet door and came out, when she saw Ye Mu and a few people, she was stunned for a moment, and then said enthusiastically: "Is it Panpan's teacher?" How did you get here? Hurry up, these children sitting in the room are Panpan's classmates, all come in and have a cup of tea. β
The little fat man's mother warmly beckoned Ye Mu and the red-haired people into the house, but Ye Mu politely refused. If these people go in, there will be no place to put their feet down.
"No, no, we just passed by and stopped by. Well, PanpanΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Ye Mu didn't know what to say, and hesitated. But the little fat man's mother immediately picked up the conversation.
"Hey, I'd like to thank you so much this time, teacher. Panpan said that you recommended her to participate in some kind of Go competition, and the kid was very happy. Why didn't you go, though? Is there another teacher leading the team? I heard Panpan say that it will take a week to go to a neighboring province to compete, this kid called me when he arrived yesterday, saying that he would not contact me until the end of the game next time. What kind of competition is that, is it difficult? Can Panpan play well? The little fat man's mother smiled happily, and asked Ye Mu with a concerned face.
Ye Ti listened to the words of the little fat man's mother, and his heart suddenly chuckled. Race?!
Ye Mu couldn't help but look at the red-haired people, only to see that those people were also at a loss, looking at each other.
Hongmao was about to say something, but Ye Mu hurriedly interrupted and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little fat man's chess strength is the strongest among the students in our class, and there will definitely be no problem." Then you're busy, we still have something to do, so let's go first. β
Ye Mu said that he gave a look to the red-haired people, and several people also understood, and Qi Qi said that there was still something to do, and he had to leave.
The little fat man's mother sincerely kept it, but a few people insisted on leaving, so they had to say goodbye warmly, and said that no little fat man's classmates or teachers had ever come to the house, so he was very, very happy.
Several people could see that the excitement and happiness on the face of the little fat man's mother were not fake, but they didn't know what to say, but they just felt a little sad. These young masters, probably for the first time, have developed sympathy.
Leaving the little fat man's home, several people were not in a relaxed mood, because they couldn't imagine where the little fat man went! From skipping class at the beginning, to disappearing now... β¦
At this time, Ye Mu is undoubtedly the most worried and uneasy one. Because, she gave the little fat man 100,000 yuan! "Lend" to him!
Could it be that it was because of the 100,000 yuan that the little fat man was in trouble? If it was really the 100,000 yuan that was to blame, Ye Mu ...... It's too late to regret it!
Without further ado, at this time, all Ye Mu could think of was to go to the chess building to take a look first and see if there would be any clues.
I have to say that Ye Mu's intuition is still very accurate, because as soon as she entered the chess building, she and the red-haired people had already been invited into the boss's office.
"ComeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Looking for Pang Panpan? "The boss is the man who was the middleman between Ye Mu and the short thin monkey last time, Fang Qingshan, who is polite and polite, said straight to the point as soon as he saw Ye Mu and the others.
Ye Mu's heart that was hanging along the way suddenly fell. It's good to have clues, if it's for her to spin around like a fly without a head, then she'll be even more uneasy. As long as you know the clues and know the purpose of the other party, then everything will be easy to do.
Ye Mu's face gradually softened, and he asked calmly, "Please speak directly." β
Fang Xishan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, the little fat man helped me to gamble chess." β
Ye Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice seemed to be frozen, "What did you say?" Gambling on chess? Where to gamble on chess? β
Fang Qingshan's face was still light, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "Of course it is...... Underground casinos. β
Ye Mu tried hard to calm down his mood and said, "Why? β
Fang Qingshan chuckled, "Why?" That's not something I can answer. But I can tell you that he was completely voluntary, and I didn't force him. β
Ye Mu secretly hated in his heart, but he couldn't say anything without evidence.
Fang Qingshan continued: "As far as I know, the little fat man's money is probably about the same, if he continues to lose, he will be cut off." Tsk, I have to say that the little fat man is actually a Go genius, if his hands and feet are useless, it would be a pity
Fang Qingshan said as he watched Ye Mu's expression closely.
"What is your purpose?" Ye Mu raised his head and glared at Fang Qingshan coldly.
Fang Qingshan hurriedly shook his head, "Miss Ye, don't misunderstand." It had nothing to do with me from beginning to end. And I, but I kindly told Miss Ye the news. I'm just asking Miss Ye to do me a little favor. Now, it's just to send a favor to Miss Ye first, of course, if Miss Ye is unwilling to accept this favor, then I haven't said anything. β
Fang Qingshan's appearance looked sincere, but it was difficult for Ye Mu to believe that this matter would have nothing to do with him. Even if he is not the mastermind, at least he will be the promoter
"I don't know what Mr. Fang needs my help with?" Ye Mu also calmed down at this time, what she was most afraid of was that the other party did not mention conditions. As long as he makes conditions, things are much easier. And since Fang Qingshan just said that she would do a small favor, in this tone, it meant that he didn't want to completely offend her. In this case, it means that there is room for negotiation, and things will take a turn for the better.
"It's actually very simple, it's the next game of chess." Fang Qingshan immediately stared at Ye Mu and said softly.
"With whom?"
"Let's not talk about this now, the other party's strength is about five professional ranks. What we want is, win! I wonder if Miss Ye can do it? Fang Qingshan said with a smile.
Ye Mu frowned, and then sneered: "If it weren't for knowing that Mr. Fang was the owner of the chess building, I would have thought that the person who said such things would be a chess blind." Even if it is a super-first-class nine-dan, against a professional five-dan, it may not be able to win! What's more, I'm much worse than the world champion of the super first-class nine-dan! When Mr. Fang said this, he was not afraid of jokes. β
Fang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "If it were someone else, then naturally I wouldn't say this, but Miss Ye... β¦ I can trust you! β
"Really?" Ye Mu sneered.
"Miss Ye doesn't need to be angry, I have prepared all the chess games of that person, I believe that with these chess games, Miss Ye's victory is like picking up something!" As if he had been prepared, Fang Qingshan took out a folder from the drawer, handed it to Ye Mu, and opened it. It's full, and it's all chess games.
Ye Mu only glanced at it and closed it, then sneered, "Mr. Fang, isn't he joking?" Just use one message, exchange me for a game of chess, heh. This abacus is really good! β
Fang Qingshan seemed to have known that Ye Mu would say this, so he was not a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye probably doesn't know, there are many kinds of underground casinos in the capital, and the location of this underground casino is all high-end clubs, or very, very private special clubs. This club is not something that ordinary people can enter. Even if it is a rich and powerful family, it is not easy to get in. Of course, that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that you won't even know which club the little fat man will be! β
Ye Mu had to admit that what Fang Qingshan said was right. There were many ways for her to get into the so-called private clubs, but she couldn't get into them, she didn't know exactly where they were. And if it's late, the little fat man has really been hurt by something, and it will make her regretful!
So in the end, Ye Mu still nodded.
"A few people Miss Ye agreed, and it was best to set the time for tonight. Tonight, I will take Miss Ye to the place where the little fat man is, but I can only take Miss Ye or one more person to go, and I can't help the little fat man to really relieve the trouble, and Miss Ye has to do it herself! Fang Qingshan saw that Ye Mu agreed, and immediately had a warm smile on his face.
Ye Mu listened to Fang Qingshan's words, and still sneered. She already knew that this was the result, Fang Qingshan's empty glove white wolf was really good!
"And when did you want me to play chess?" Ye Mu asked.
"In three days, the exact location will be discussed at that time, and it is still uncertain." Fang Qingshan said with a smile.
Ye Mu said: "Aren't you afraid that if I rescue the little fat man tonight, I will break the contract with you immediately?" β
The smile on Fang Qingshan's face remained unchanged, staring at Ye Mu and continuing, "You won't!" β
Ye Mu and Fang Qingshan looked at each other for a full minute, and finally smiled, "Okay." β
This one word is her promise.
Yes, as long as she agrees, she will never regret it. Because what she likes most is such a transaction, fairness and unfairness are still secondary, because the so-called fairness is not seen by outsiders, but whether she thinks it is worth it. It's worth it, that's fair. And it's a deal from the start, and that's the best because there's no fetters. If she is asked to repay her personal debt, then she really has to think about it.
Out of the chess building, the faces of the red-haired people were not very good-looking. They all always glanced at the folder in Ye Mu's hand as if they were nothing. There's a game for a professional five-dan player. And Ye Mu actually wants to defeat that professional fifth stage!
These people know that to defeat a person, it is not something that can be achieved by understanding this person. Otherwise, there are so many chess games for those world champions, how can there be very few people who can beat them?
"The surname Fang said that you can also bring someone, and I will accompany you at night." The red hair groaned for a while, and said to Ye Mu.
"When you tell us where it is in the evening, the young masters won't believe it, isn't it just a broken clubhouse, and you can't get in!" A short boy in the red-haired gang sneered.
"That is, in this Beijing city, there is no club we want to enter but can't enter!" Another chimed in.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, you don't want to go, if there is any situation, I can't take care of it. I'll just go, it'll be fine, and don't underestimate me. Ye Mu refused with a smile. These children, it's better not to let them get into danger again. Actually, there shouldn't be any danger, probably. It's just a gamble!
It's just that young men at this age are all very righteous at the age of blood and energy, so they have to accompany Ye Mu together. Ye Mu really took a lot of effort to convince them.
Ye Mu returned to the apartment, first called Jinyan and talked about the matter in general. Ye Mu didn't want to hide it from Jinyan now, and he didn't think it was necessary to hide this matter from Jinyan. If Jinyan said that this matter was dangerous, then she would have to wait for Jinyan and arrange for someone to do it, instead of impulsively risking her own life. That impulsive act is touching, but it's also the most stupid. She wouldn't put herself in danger for the sake of a momentary will, and then worry Jinyan and drag him into danger.
And if Jinyan said that there would not be much danger, then it didn't matter if she went by herself.
Ye Mu suddenly wanted to laugh, he seemed to be very rational, could this be because of his lack of feelings? However, she really loves her own sanity!
