Since that morning court session, Mo Liujin had not seen Chu Qingmeng. He had sent people to ask Hui Wenzhong and the others, but their lips were too tight, and not a single word could be squeezed out of them. The Secret Guards he had sent to follow the small sedan chair and locate her hideout had not returned either—needless to say, they had undoubtedly been detained by the people of the Fifth Floor.
Sure enough, before Mo Liujin even had the chance to go and negotiate with the Fifth Floor, Hui Wenzhong arrived with the bound men, tossing them directly into the courtyard. Then, letting out a lingering sigh, he said, "Son-in-law, stop stirring up trouble and focus your energy on proper business. Pulling stunts like this makes it easy to startle the snake in the grass. If you ruin our Master's plan, aren't you afraid she'll be angry with you?"
"I am working on proper business. Whenever I have spare energy, I naturally want to keep an eye on my wife. If you're afraid I'll startle the snake, then just tell me where your Master went so I can save myself the trouble of running around." Mo Liujin put on a shameless expression, determined to extract Chu Qingmeng's whereabouts from the Fifth Floor.
