The moment he handed out the banknotes, Ling Shu felt that his arrogance and arrogance just now were all tricked into his brain last night. After finishing the bill, he grabbed the empty wallet and felt an unprecedented emptiness. Many people have come to an end in life, and everything has been enlightened.
The surname Yue is amazing. It's almost a thousand-year-old fox spirit reincarnated.
After watching the banknotes grow wings and fly away, Ling Shu was no longer interested in what he was doing. Even the two hairs on his head were wilted, like eggplants beaten by frost. Even Yue Dingtang suggested going to the movies. He also waved his hands weakly.
"Go on your own."
Yue Dingtang is a little funny, but he can't make his smile too obvious, otherwise the other party will definitely be more annoyed.
He barely flattened the corners of his mouth and hummed.
"I have to go to school in the afternoon. I have something to do. You go home and rest first. I will come to find you later."
After he finished speaking, he patted his head and smoothed the two dull hairs.
Ling Shu lay down on the table with dull eyes, and realized that he was being appeased like a small animal. He wanted to get up and investigate, but Yue Dingtang had already walked away. He sighed and sat down on the table silently again, planning to use it in the afternoon. The sun thinks about life being lived through.
It's a pity that this leisure didn't last long, and someone came over.
It was Xiao Yue who went and returned.
"Mr. Ling, are you still here?"
Xiao Yue was a little surprised.
"I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you. If you don't see anyone, you might have to call."
Ling Shu was still lazy and unable to lift himself up, but facing a woman he didn't know very well, he finally straightened up, knowing that he had to maintain a basic demeanor.
"I don't care how old you are. Just call me Ling Shu. What's the matter? Are you looking for me in a hurry?"
Xiao Yue nodded and trotted all the way, still panting.
"I just went to the Feng family. The uncles and aunts of the Feng family are here. They have heard of your name, and they are willing to let you join in and help find the whereabouts of the pearls. They also said that if they can find the pearls, the Feng family is willing to stay in the Feng family. Five thousand silver dollars are added to the original redemption."
Ling Shu blinked.
How many meals are five thousand silver dollars enough for
Even a lunch of today's size is enough to eat many times, right
"It doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main thing is to find someone. I'll come with you."
Xiao Yue said happily: "Thank you, you really are an enthusiastic person!"
She consciously saw the wrong person. When she met Ling Shu on campus, she was attracted by his appearance first. This kind of affection was naturally stronger when she found that the other person was the same.
"My driver is waiting outside, we can go any time."
Xiao Yue, who can be best friends with Feng Zhenzhu, will naturally not be too poor, as can be seen from the fact that there are drivers to pick up and drop off.
Ling Shu took her to Feng's house by car. After arriving at the destination, Ling Shu couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.
Coincidentally, this place is not far from Yue's house, so it can be said that they are all in the same area.
It's no wonder that the people living in this area are either rich or expensive, and it is only natural that the Feng family and the Yue family live close to each other.
"Minister Feng is not in Shanghai all the year round, and he only came back these days because of his daughter's affairs. The Feng mansion usually lives with the brothers and sisters of the Feng family."
On the way out of the car, Xiao Yue introduced Ling Shu.
"Pearl has two older brothers. The eldest brother is in Nanjing with Minister Feng, and the other brother is also studying in Shanghai."
Ling Shu remembered: "Is her second brother Feng Liang?"
Xiao Yue: "Yes, do you know me?"
Ling Shu: "I met many years ago, and now I'm afraid he doesn't remember either."
Indeed many years ago.
At that time, the Ling family had not yet fallen, and they would occasionally meet at dance parties. The school they attended was considered to be one of the best middle schools in Shanghai, so it was inevitable that they would hold events together.
However, Ling Shu did not have much interaction with Feng Liang, because the latter did not get good grades and did not want to study. He could not represent the school in any activities. Ling Shu still remembered that at a dance party, Feng Liang was taught a few words by his father and let him After learning more from Ling Shu, he couldn't help but anger Ling Shu, and there were a few quarrels later.
Over the years, the two are like this mansion and the dandelions that fly by chance outside. Maybe there will be an intersection at a certain moment, but this intersection is destined to pass by without pain or itching.
From the outside, the Feng Mansion looks more luxurious than the Yue family, but as soon as Ling Shu entered, he found that the furnishings here may not be better than the Yue family, and even a little out of tune with the outside decoration, with a sense of half-new and not old.
Of course, it's not that these things are worthless. Ling Shu himself has experienced great wealth and wealth. He just saw an answer from these details: the Feng family is not as glamorous as it looks.
Ling Shu remembered that after Xiao Yue left the table earlier, he also asked Yue Dingtang, how is the current situation of the Feng family, is Minister Feng still proud in the officialdom
These questions are not for nothing. Sometimes a person's disappearance is not necessarily related to her, but may also be inextricably linked to her family. However, it is inconvenient to ask Minister Feng face-to-face about these words. Even a little girl Xiao Yue can't say it. Therefore, the most suitable person to ask is Yue Dingtang.
Yue Dingtang's answer at the time was that Minister Feng had just been transferred to the Ministry of Non-Smoking as Minister.
What is the anti-smoking department? As the name suggests, it is the relevant department for the suppression of opium cigarettes, but nowadays cigarettes are a money-making business, and warlords from all over the world occupy the majority, but all powerful relatives who have a little relationship also want to do everything possible to get into this business. The so-called non-smoking, prohibiting but not giving up is naturally empty words, Minister Feng can't go to blow up the stall of so-and-so's sister-in-law or brother-in-law, but just turn a blind eye and clean up a little under the name It's just a jerk, maybe sometimes someone accidentally touches the cake of a big man, and Minister Feng has to personally go and make amends for them.
Such a minister is naturally a little embarrassed.
It can be seen that Minister Feng's career is worrying.
As for political opponents, Yue Dingtang didn't know too much. Maybe it happened before, but Minister Feng was defeated, so he was sent to Leng Yamen.
Maybe Miss Feng's disappearance has nothing to do with it.
While thinking about it, Ling Shu and Xiao Yue walked into the living room, greeted by the servants of the Feng family, and saw the Feng family, the two elder brothers of Miss Feng San, the elder brother came back with Minister Feng, and a young man of similar age. The woman is probably the wife of Brother Feng.
Minister Feng had obviously heard Xiao Yue introduce Ling Shu, and when he saw the other party's greetings, he nodded and went straight to the point.
"You must have heard Xiao Yue say something about my daughter."
Ling Shu should be.
Minister Feng said: "Now the people in the patrol room and the police station are helping to find them. I didn't want to disturb others, but Xiao Yue said that you are very good at finding people to investigate the case. Mr. Jiang also recommended you, so let you also Participate in, if my daughter can return safely, I will naturally offer you a generous reward, but I also hope you keep your mouth shut, don't mention this to outsiders, and when you go out of this door, you just don't know everything."
Whether it's for the sake of family shame or for the sake of his daughter's reputation, these words are reasonable and reasonable. Although Minister Feng's tone was a bit blunt and strong, Ling Shu only thought that he was concerned and then messed up.
"Don't worry, Minister Feng, I'm not a tabloid reporter, and I have no interest in exploring other people's family affairs. Besides, if even the police can't do anything about this matter, my role may be limited, but I will try my best to help."
Minister Feng frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with his words, but he couldn't find a bigger loophole, so he could only give up.
But someone next to him raised a question.
"Ling Shu? Are you that Ling Shu?"
Feng Liang still had some impression of Ling Shu.
Judging from the expression, it doesn't seem to be a good impression.
"Why are you doing this, help find someone? A spy? A policeman? When Xiao Yue said it, I thought it was the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Whether it is a spy or a policeman, his social status is not too high. Feng Liang did not expect that he was talked about by his father and let him study hard. Now he has become a person who has to rely on his family to make a living. He suddenly said It is not clear whether it is gloating or laughing at his father's bad eyesight.
"Father, do you still remember him? Ling Shu, you mentioned it when you were in school and said he had good grades."
Minister Feng looked puzzled, as if he was still recalling, Feng Liang couldn't wait to remind him.
"Didn't you always say that he is more promising than me in the future? It doesn't seem to be the case now. Without the Ling family, he is nothing."
Xiao Yue couldn't help saying: "Second brother Feng, Mr. Ling is my friend, and I asked him to help!"
Minister Feng didn't know if he remembered the character Ling Shu, and he naturally wanted to reprimand his son on the bright side.
"No nonsense!"
Ling Shu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Second Young Master Feng to remember me. Without the Ling family, I really am nothing. I must have the Feng family. You are everything now, right? What is it?"
Xiao Yue couldn't help but laugh, the corner of her mouth still leaked a bit of movement.
Feng Liang quarreled but became angry: "If you don't want to take this job, just get out, it's not your turn to taunt the master's house, you are not welcome here!"
Ling Shu turned around and left without saying a word.
He really does not depend on the Feng family for food.
The money looked attractive, but not so easy to get.
If Miss Feng San can't find it, where will the money come from
Xiao Yue paused, and with a sigh, seeing that the Feng family was indifferent, she followed Ling Shu and chased out.
Although Minister Feng was very dissatisfied with his son's performance, Ling Shu was not important enough for him to speak out.
If you leave, if you don't stay, it's just such a mess.
Xiao Yue is a sensible girl, and even after catching up with Ling Shu, she apologized repeatedly, saying that she was ill-considered and took all the faults on her own.
"Don't worry about it, second brother Feng is a jerk, I don't like it on weekdays, but it's hard to say, you can be regarded as letting out a breath for me, it's my fault today, I shouldn't drag you to the door, please come another day. Apologize!"
Ling Shu was about to say something, but saw a man hurriedly chased by Feng Mansion. Upon closer inspection, it was the young woman standing beside Boss Feng just now.
She was stepping on high heels, but her footsteps were not slow at all, and the servants of the Feng family followed, and they shouted when they saw Ling Shu from a distance.
"Mr. Ling, please stay!"
"It's Mrs. Feng!" Xiao Yue said in surprise.
Sister-in-law Feng's footsteps were so hurried and her tone was so hasty, even her expression revealed her eagerness to keep them.
Ling Shu had an intuition that something might have happened to the Feng family during the few minutes they left.
