It is already autumn, and the weather in Jinhai is getting colder day by day.

That afternoon, after Chen Mu finished practicing, he went out in a carriage as usual and went to various branches to collect the business payment for the day. This matter was always done by him. Occasionally, he was too busy to ask Shang Lei to collect the money and send it to Crescent Villa.

Anyway, the money in the branch cannot be left in the store overnight.

Chen Mu sat in the carriage and was reading a book.

Qingzhu's clothes also changed from silk to cotton. She couldn't help but say, "Young master, why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself? It's too troublesome to have to travel around half of the city every day. Just find a reliable person to do it."

"You don't understand." Chen Mu said without leaving the book, "The money matter is second. I'm not relieved if I don't go to every store myself."

This is his first business start-up. Now it is a period of rapid growth. Every day, watching his turnover continue to rise and he gets heavy copper coins, he feels full of accomplishment.

Others cannot understand this kind of mood.

Qingzhu glanced at the sky outside and said, "Young Master must go out early next time, otherwise it will be dark after collecting the money."

After autumn begins, it gets dark early.

"Um."

Chen Mu responded, his attention still on the book.

Qingzhu sat opposite, holding her chin with her hands, and her eyes fell on his chin through the books in his hand, watching him touching his chin from time to time with his left hand.

This is his habitual movement. When he is so sensible about reading books, he will have such movements.

She was a little confused.

Five days have passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every time she thinks of the scene that day, her heart will be pounding.

Now, even in the villa, it is circulating that the young master was angry at the Mid-Autumn Festival meeting and chopped off a Eastern swordsman's right hand with one sword.

Aunt Liu has often used this to make fun of her.

At this time, the carriage stopped.

"The owner of the house, we are here."

Chen Mu closed the book when he heard the coachman's words, but saw a flushing blush on Qingzhu's cheeks and asked, "Why is his face so red?"

"Yes, it's a little hot." Qingzhu explained in a low voice.

Chen Mu didn't care either. It was afternoon, and the sun had not yet set, and the temperature was quite high.

The store he visited was the second branch. As soon as the carriage stopped, the shopkeeper Han Gong came out. He was a young man, less than 20 years old.

In fact, all the branches he opened were not very old.

Han Gong was the first young man he promoted. After a period of experience, his temperament has become much more capable, and he looks like a shopkeeper.

This kid is also very successful and manages the branch well.

Han Gong whispered, "Boss, I have something important to report."

Chen Mu understood, "Go to the back."

Later, Chen Mu asked, "What's the matter?"

There are only Han Gong and Qingzhu in the room. Recently, he has become accustomed to the existence of Qingzhu. He thought that what Han Gong wants to say would not be important, so there is no need to avoid her.

Han Gong said, "I saw Miss Lin today, and there are evil people who want to be unfavorable to her."

"Miss Lin?"

Chen Mu looked at him in confusion.

Han Gong said, "It's the girl Lin who I always met last time."

Chen Mu then remembered that Han Gong had indeed seen Lin Xiuwan.

But how is this possible? Two months ago, she went to the south and sent him a letter from Shanghai. It was a big city on the coast of the central region, more than a thousand kilometers away.

He asked, "What the hell is going on."

"In the afternoon, there was a wealthy family who wanted to buy a lot of honeycomb coal for winter. I met the butler in charge in a tavern. On the way, I accidentally saw Miss Lin. I wanted to come forward to greet her, but I saw someone following her sneakily. I didn't say anything and quietly sent someone to stare at her."

Chen Mu frowned and asked, "Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

Han Gong said affirmatively, "I will never admit my mistake Miss Lin."

"Where are hers now?"

Han Gong said, "In a temple, that temple--" He was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.

“There is a problem there?”

"I heard that there is a temple on the surface, which is actually used to cover up the purpose and is doing some secret prostitution. Miss Lin is a foreigner and must not know the joints inside, so she will stay there."

“…”

Chen Mu asked again, "What's going on with those who are following her sneakily?"

"I wasn't sure at first, so I asked my subordinates to stare at me, and found that the two of them had been following Miss Lin, which must have been a ill-gotten plot. I've already found a way to notify Miss Lin."

"The guy under his command hasn't been discovered, right?"

"Don't worry, the owner is always delivering goods in that area. They are familiar with neighbors. They are also smart and have not been discovered."

“Good job.”

Chen Mu patted his shoulder and said, "Take me to where she settled." As he said that, he turned to Qingzhu and said, "You can collect the account behind me."

"Young Master..."

What else Qingzhu wanted to say? The person had already walked out. A thought came to her mind, "Who is Miss Lin?"

…………

When Chen Mu and Han Gong went out, the sky suddenly became dark, and a dark cloud floated from somewhere, covering the sun.

The nanny is right by the Xiliu River, not far away.

"That's it."

When he arrived at an alley, Han Gong pointed to a yard in front and said.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and a faint thunder came. A strong wind blew on the street, blew a crackling sound of bamboo in front of the temple.

At this time, a carriage carrying goods came over, and the young coachman saluted the two, "I have met the boss and the shopkeeper Han."

Han Gong asked, "How is it?"

The coachman said, "Miss Lin has been in for half an hour and has not come out."

Chen Mu said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The young coachman grinned and said, "No hard work, this is my duty."

"Okay, you go back first." Chen Mu sent the man away, signaling Han Gong beside him not to speak, and used Tianer's skill. In an instant, all the sounds around him poured into his mind.

Soon, he identified the sound he was looking for.

"who?"

It was Lin Xiuwan, she actually ran back to Jinhai.

"It's me."

Accompanied by the sound of opening the door, a somewhat old voice rang out.

"It's you-"

Then there was a bang, and Lin Xiuwan was a little startled and angry, "You actually poisoned?"

"The girl doesn't want to go back with us, so the second young master has no choice but to do this-"

When Chen Mu heard this, his heart was furious and could no longer help it. He said to Han Gong, "You go back first." Then he jumped up and had already climbed over the wall of the courtyard.

On that day, Lin Xiuwan stepped forward and blocked the evil spirit. He always remembered this friendship. Now that she knew that she had been plotting against her, she naturally wanted to save people.

With a roar, a lightning flashed across the sky. Heavy rain poured down.

Chen Mu fell into the wall and summoned the Yitian Sword with his pen. He used his light skills and arrived at the room where Lin Xiuwan was at the fastest speed.

As soon as I turned over the yard, I saw a back behind the door. Without saying a word, I flew over and stabbed him.

The man was extremely alert and sensed someone sneak attack from behind, and dodged in.

Chen Mu felt a sudden heart. Judging from his body skills, he was actually a warrior from the third level.

After landing, he caught sight of Lin Xiuwan lying on the ground and was unaware of the situation. His subordinates were chasing the old man without stopping.

The sword he had just now guessed the various possibilities of the enemy's avoidance. When the other party moved, the Yitian Sword changed and then came first, barely stabbing the old man's back.

But the old man flashed like a ghost and actually dodged the deadly sword.

Chen Mu was about to stab the third sword when he suddenly fainted.

Not good, the air is toxic.

He was shocked, held his breath and did not chase after the other party. He turned around and picked up Lin Xiuwan on the ground, and had already broken out of the window.

At this time, it is naturally important to save people, and the other party may have accomplices.

"Let the person down."

The old man was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly, and the person had already chased him out.

A moment later, a few people came to the room in the rain and saw that there was no one inside and the windows were broken.
