"Okay." Tang Zhongbai cast a deep gaze on her, and seeing that she looked tired, he felt distressed.

Everyone dispersed and went home.

Xu Da walked over to her and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Give me your hand."

Jiang Muxia felt dizzy and leaned against the wall, drowsy. When she heard his words, she subconsciously reached out her hand.

"Your pulse is steady and beating strongly. But what's wrong with you? You look so weak." Xu Da let go of her hand, puzzled.

She closed her eyes and said in a daze, "Brother, go back and rest."

Xu Da pulled her up and walked her to her door. "We are at your door. Go back and have a good sleep."

Jiang Muxia walked with heavy steps, groped for the bed with half-closed eyes, crawled into the quilt, fell asleep.

That night, she slept soundly and was unaware of her life.

When she opened her eyes again, the room was empty. She slowly sat up, feeling light all over and her mind clear.

She rubbed her eyes, got out of bed and went to the hall.

Hu Daxin had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw her come out, he hurried over to greet her.

She looked at Li Jiyi. He had a calm expression on his face and was wiping the counter vigorously, as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Jiang, what do you want from me?"

"Let's go outside and talk."

The two left the restaurant and walked towards the ferry.

The two did not stop until they were far away from the restaurant.

Jiang Muxia looked solemn and asked, "Do you know a man with a heart disease? He should be decent looking and around 40 years old."

"Ah." Hu Daxin was shocked by her words, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Muxia stared into the distance, her tone cold, "There is a person who desperately needs a man like this. She can't live without a man. I meet her needs, do you think I am too kind?"

Hu Daxin: “…”

Is there anyone who has this need? What kind of weird freak is this?

"I'll look for it. But...can I ask why?"

In his eyes, Miss Jiang is a beautiful and kind person who always helps people solve problems.

She helped him find his current job, and now his parents and siblings treated him as a human being. His mother also straightened her back, and when she talked to the neighbors, she would be proud of him and speak with confidence.

Recently, many matchmakers have come to his house to propose marriage to him. He feels very happy and thinks that he will be able to marry a virtuous wife soon.

But what Jiang Muxia said today made him doubt.

What kind of person is this girl?

"Do you also think that I'm a vicious woman who would harm others if I disagree with her?" She turned around and looked at Hu Daxin, and clearly saw the suspicion of her in his eyes.

"No, I just think it's better to leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future." Hu Daxin wanted to persuade her, "If it's just a small fight, there's really no need to kill them."

Jiang Muxia looked at him steadily. She never expected that this gangster who had been in the most chaotic and dirty places could now say such words to her that made her become a Buddha instantly.

She was filled with relief. She had indeed not misjudged him. Hu Daxin was a very kind person at heart, but he was too much of a pushover before he knew the truth.

"It seems that Tang Juecao did not tell you what happened last night. I don't blame you." After smiling bitterly, she told him everything that happened last night.

"Do you still think I should let her go?"

After learning the whole story, Hu Daxin said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was too reckless and didn't ask clearly. I didn't know that the person you were dealing with was Jiang Hongxing. It was me who helped you catch her mother having an affair, but she only regarded you as her enemy! Now that she has come to you, I'm afraid she will come to me in the future. Helping you is also helping me."

Jiang Muxia smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

She took out five taels of silver and handed it to him, "Here, this is the initial investment. Give the man a clean set of clothes, and the rest will be used as the cost of entering the building. After the job is done, give him another ten taels as a thank you."

Hu Daxin accepted them and said with a smile, "I'll take these, and I won't need the rest. That man is not a good person, and he has harmed countless people. This time I have made full use of his wealth, but I'm afraid he can't leave Xiuyue Tower anymore."

He whispered his idea to Jiang Muxia, and she was so surprised that she raised her finger and said yes.

Getting rid of two troubles at the same time, this Hu Daxin is even more ruthless than her.

Hu Daxin left in a hurry and prepared to go.

She returned to the restaurant and Li Jiyi was still cleaning. When he saw her come back, he just glanced at her.

"Brother Jiyi, stop busying yourself and come sit down. I have something to ask you."

Although he was safe, she still didn't know who took him away yesterday.

She needed to know who else was helping Jiang Hongxing to prevent anyone from taking advantage of her in the future.

"I know what you want to ask me." Li Jiyi's face turned pale, but he didn't put down the work in his hands and continued, "Yesterday, when I finished cleaning and was about to lock the door, a young man came in."

He paused and looked up at Jiang Muxia. Seeing that she was not angry, he continued, "He said that you had a fight with Jiang Hongxing in Xiuyue Tower. I was anxious when I heard that, and I followed him without telling my family. When I got there and saw that Jiang Hongxing was the only one there, I suddenly realized that I had been deceived. When I was about to leave, several servants broke into the room, pushed me down, and poured wine into my mouth with a wine jug. Then, my mind was confused, my eyelids were heavy, and I didn't know anything."

He started cleaning again, speaking in a low voice, "When I wake up again, I'll lie down in my own bed. Mu Xia, I'm sorry, I'm causing you trouble again!"

No one would know that when he woke up in the middle of the night and found himself in his own bed, he suddenly felt so useless.

He knew that Jiang Hongxing came to him just to deal with her sister. As her brother, not only could he not help her, he also always caused trouble for her.

He didn't know how she brought him back, and he guessed that she must have had a big conflict with Jiang Hongxing.

How much trouble would it bring for a girl to go to a brothel and make trouble for him?

So, last night, he thought about leaving the restaurant.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family, and you went there because you were worried about me. If you want to blame someone, blame the bad guys for being too cunning." She saw that he felt very guilty and saw through his thoughts. "Just stay here and don't go anywhere without my permission. The restaurant can't do without you."

Before he could speak again, she asked, "Do you still remember what the person who called you yesterday looked like?"

Li Jiyi put down the broom, came to sit opposite her, and said as he thought: "He has a mole on his face, he is neither tall nor short, of medium build, and he wears khaki clothes. Hmm... yes, that's it."

Is there a mole on your face?

Jiang Muxia remembered that yesterday when they entered the building, she found a sneaky man in the corner of the second floor. Although only half of his face was exposed, there was a mole on that half of his face.

In Xiu Yue Tower, the person who called Li Jiyi away must be him.

She had to find out whether this person was from the brothel, or someone hired by Jiang Hongxing, or someone sent by someone to help her.
