Chapter 530: Chapter 529 Purpose (3/3)
Early the next morning.
Li Muyang welcomed a guest.
Zhu Hai!
The eighth youngest of the Zhu family, three years younger than Li Muyang.
"Brother Li!" Upon seeing Li Muyang, Zhu Hai respectfully called out while tossing over a string of items.
Li Muyang, quick-eyed and agile, caught it and looked carefully, exclaiming with surprise and delight, "Whoa! Amber! Full amber! Is it a 2.0?"
Nowadays, amber prices are generally calculated in hundreds per gram, such full amber is rare, and chicken oil amber in a 2.0 round bead is even more so.
Being round consumes the most material, making it very precious.
"Where did you get it?" Li Muyang was quite fond of these, not just for play but also for health benefits.
"Got it from a friend, I already have one, so I’m giving this to you to play with." Zhu Hai said casually.
Li Muyang smiled, nodded, and put it directly on his wrist.
"So, tell me!" Li Muyang sat down and stared at Zhu Hai, "You rascal, coming to find me, it’s either deceit or theft! Spill it, what’s the matter!"
Zhu Hai looked impatient, rolling his eyes at Li Muyang, "The way you say it, it’s as if I can’t see you unless something’s up!"
Li Muyang gave him a knowing look, staring at him.
Seeing this, Zhu Hai reluctantly surrendered, "Alright, alright! I’ll tell! I did come with something in mind!"
Li Muyang instantly adopted an ’I knew it’ expression, chuckled, and said, "Go on, what’s it about?"
Zhu Hai thought for a moment, leaned in closer to Li Muyang, and whispered, "Brother Li... last night you..."
Just then, another person walked in from outside, shouting, "Brother Li, where are you?"
In fact, the newcomer already saw Li Muyang and Zhu Hai sitting in the courtyard but still called out.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Muyang frowned and waved, "Over here!"
"Brother Li! Oh! Brother Zhu is here too!" The newcomer hurriedly ran over.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the disgust and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
The newcomer, Liu Xianhong, being the youngest in the Liu family, was doted on, and hence quite domineering.
"Xianhong, what brings you here today?" Li Muyang greeted.
Liu Xianhong chuckled and said, "Isn’t it because I missed Brother Li? Come on! Today it’s my treat, anywhere in Jin Chen’s territory, your pick!"
Li Muyang shook his head with a smile, "No thanks, I can’t handle that sort of thing, getting on in years, can’t keep up."
"Oh, come on!" Liu Xianhong said, "With your guard physique, handling three at once wouldn’t be a problem! I’ll find you some good ones, pick from second or third-tier star models! Even if you want a top-tier one, I can get her for you!"
"Wow!" Zhu Hai praised, "Xianhong, I didn’t expect you to be so capable now!"
Liu Xianhong laughed, "That’s nothing. You like someone, I’ll get her for you!"
Zhu Hai thought for a moment and said, "Recently, there’s someone named Li Lu, can you get her for me?"
"Li Lu?" Liu Xianhong frowned for a moment and said, "That’s easy, I was just hanging out with friends including her not too long ago, but she’s married! You’re into that?"
"Married ones have their unique charm!" Zhu Hai grinned wickedly.
"Exactly!" Liu Xianhong, as if finding a kindred spirit, laughed heartily, "Married ones do have flavor, you’re absolutely right!"
Li Muyang looked at the two helplessly and said, "Alright! You two settle down! Aren’t you worried about cleanliness? Such prime years and not enjoying life, end up with diseases, is it worth it?"
"What’s the harm!" Liu Xianhong said nonchalantly, "If we don’t have fun while young, what’s left to play with when we’re old? Even if we catch something now, do you think it’ll directly kill us? As long as it’s not deadly, with technology advancing so fast, it’ll surely be curable in ten or twenty years, what’s there to fear!"
Li Muyang shook his head, not wanting to argue with Liu Xianhong about this as he knew Liu Xianhong was a playboy, with women on his mind.
"By the way, Brother Li, let me ask you something." Liu Xianhong stared at Li Muyang.
"Hmm, go ahead," Li Muyang replied coolly.
Liu Xianhong said, "I heard Yang Chen came to see you last night?"
Li Muyang was taken aback, frowning as he stared at Liu Xianhong.
Zhu Hai also became alert, knowing that Liu Xianhong might have come for this, but didn’t expect Liu Xianhong to get right to the point.
Li Muyang frowned and thought for a moment, looking at the two, "Are you both here for this?"
Zhu Hai and Liu Xianhong exchanged a look and nodded slowly.
"I knew it!" Li Muyang sneered, "I just knew you two had something up, turns out it’s for this!"
He had already heard that several families were looking for Yang Chen, but didn’t expect their senses to be this sharp or that they’d send people immediately.
He certainly wouldn’t share Yang Chen’s information with anyone, so he said sternly, "First, tell me why you’re looking for Yang Chen?"
"Well..." The two exchanged glances, hesitated but didn’t respond.
"Not saying, huh!" Li Muyang stood up, "If you don’t speak, I won’t either!"
After thinking it over, they sternly said, "It’s for money!"
"It’s for power!"
The two glanced at each other, surprised their answers differed.
"Power?" Li Muyang stared at Zhu Hai, asking, "What kind of power?"
Zhu Hai took a deep breath, staring at Li Muyang, "Brother Li, you must be well aware of the Flame Palace’s peak affairs, right? You must also know Yang Chen’s importance to our families. I need him to secure my position in the Zhu family, to help strengthen our family! So, I want to find him, to ask for his support for the Zhu family."
Li Muyang nodded, aware Zhu Hai was holding back plenty, yet said nothing to Zhu Hai but directly stared at Liu Xianhong, "Money? What money?"
Liu Xianhong laughed, "Obviously, many already know about the Flame Palace’s peak affairs, at least we big family folks do. Most importantly, some are offering high prices for goods. As long as Li Muyang gets his hands on it, I can exchange it for a lot of money?"
Li Muyang, after hearing this, sneered, feeling Liu Xianhong was intentionally placating him.
Selling Yang Chen for money?
Don’t kid around, do you know Yang Chen’s identity?
Do you know the power of the Zhuo family?
That’s simply seeking death!
So, Li Muyang sneered coldly, saying to Liu Xianhong, "Do you realize nobody can capture Yang Chen, nobody!"
Liu Xianhong shrugged, "We don’t need to catch him. As long as we can figure out where Yang Chen is, we can make a fortune, how’s that? Want to give it a go?"
"You’re talking about selling information on Yang Chen?" Li Muyang, with a displeased look, stared at Liu Xianhong.
"I didn’t mean it that way..." Liu Xianhong hurriedly said, "We merely wish to get news on Yang Chen, and have a conversation, he will surely agree!"
This was when Liu Xianhong also revealed his true intention.
