Chapter 194: Bargaining (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The news that Shen Miao wanted to sell was related to an unsolved case that caused a sensation in Ming Qi back then. There were two daughters in the Chen family, the richest family in Yuzhou. They were extremely beautiful. If they entered the palace, they would, without a question, be selected as consorts. They were like two pieces of exquisite porcelain that people wanted to appreciate and protect.

It was not necessarily a good thing to have two gorgeous-looking daughters. If the family wasn’t powerful enough, they wouldn’t be able to protect their daughters. Fortunately, the Chen family was not only the richest family in Yuzhou, but also had a lot of influence.

Unexpectedly, when the Chen sisters were 16 years old, they disappeared under people’s noses on the day of the Lantern Festival. The Chen family searched for a long time but to no avail. It had been three years since the Chen sisters disappeared. The Chen family had been spending manpower and money to find their two daughters. Although they knew that it was unlikely that their daughters were still alive, they had never given up. They even found All Knowing Scholar and spent a lot of money to buy information.

However, there was no news of the whereabouts of their daughters.

Now that someone suddenly brought up this case that had remained stagnant for three years, how could Hong Ling not be surprised? As long as All Knowing Scholar could make this deal, they would be able to earn a fortune.

Shen Miao did not believe that the real owner behind this pawnshop could resist this amount of money.

… .

The pavilion in the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop was called Lake Immortal. Deals were done on the first floor. From the second to the sixth floors, it was occupied by the owner.

At this moment, in the tearoom on the sixth floor, three people were sitting at the table.

“Yu Shu, why are you here so quickly?” Gao Yang frowned and looked at the person opposite him. “You didn’t even greet me.”

Sitting opposite him was a young man of 17 or 18 years old. This young man looked very cute. He was different from Xie Jingxing, who was as handsome in a dangerous way, and from Gao Yang, who was as gentle as a summer breeze. This young man was like a boy at school who gave you a sense of affinity. He was wearing a lake-green robe and had a pleasant smile. He said, “I heard that the plan in the capital has changed. I know the two of you definitely need the help of a capable person like me, so I hurried back to help.”

“Hehe.” Gao Yang sneered in reply.

“But, Third Brother Xie!” The young man called Yu Shu suddenly turned to him and said, “Miss Shaoyao has been ignoring me recently and is very distant from me. Third Brother, you have always been popular among girls. Why don’t you teach me something?”

This seemingly amiable and harmless young man was an experienced playboy.

Xie Jingxing did not even look at him and said, “That entirely depends on appearance.”

“What? Don’t you think I’m handsome?” The young man was so angry that his face turned red. “Back then, I was also… the prince charming of thousands of girls. Third Brother, are you saying that because you are jealous of me?”

Gao Yang couldn’t stand it anymore and turned Yu Shu’s head to the other side. “Ji Yushu, go back if you keep talking like that.”

“Ahem.” Yu Shu immediately sat up straight and said seriously, “Third Brother, let’s talk about the new plan.”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a woman in red coming up from downstairs, but she did not come in. She called from afar through the gauze curtain, “Owner.”

“Hong Ling.” Yu Shu said patiently, “I’ve told you many times. Although you’re good-looking, It’s better if you don’t show up while I’m talking with my friends. I like you, but that doesn’t mean you can cross the line.” If an ordinary girl heard this, she would probably be so embarrassed and blush, but Hong Ling had been working for him for a long time and knew what kind of a person he really was.
