Chapter 77: Dead in the Tower

Chapter 77

"Mo Mo, come with me to Fu Hua Building," Sang Li said to Su Mo.

"What? Fu Hua Building?" Su Mo took a look at Wu Ying, who was not far away, and whispered into Sang Li's ear, "Wu Ying doesn't allow me to go to places like that now! If I go, he will kill people!"

"We're not going there seeking pleasure, Gu Zhi was captured by people from Fu Hua Building."

"Ah? Who told you that?" Su Mo asked in surprise.

"Yu Yifan. I think...why would Yu Yifan know this, you can go ask Wu Ying."

Su Mo paused for a moment, then immediately pulled Wu Ying over and asked, "Wu Ying, Gu Zhi was captured by people from Fu Hua Building, did you know?"

Wu Ying looked at Sang Li, seeming to be thinking of something, but he still told the truth, "Yes, I know."

"Ah? You knew? Then why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"You were hoping he would leave, why would I tell you?"

"..."

Sang Li looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you save him?"

"There was no need, someone else will save him."

"What do you mean?" Su Mo was a little confused.

"If I'm not mistaken, Gu Zhi is from Miao Territory, his family has already come to Lan City to find him, otherwise how do you think Zhu Mu would die under Gu worms?"

Su Mo looked at Wu Ying, her mind not fully comprehending yet.

Sang Li paused for a moment, "I'm going to Fu Hua Building."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned to leave.

"Sister Li, I'll go with you!" Su Mo was about to leave, but Wu Ying grabbed her hand.

"You're not allowed to go to places like that!"

"Oh come on, this is a special circumstance, I'm worried something might happen to Sister Li!"

Wu Ying paused for a moment, "Then I'll go with you."

All the way there, Su Mo kept scolding Wu Ying, asking why he didn't save Gu Zhi when he saw Gu Zhi get captured.

Wu Ying's ears were getting numb from listening.

He must teach Yu Yifan a lesson for that big mouth when he gets back!

"Mo Mo, I don't like to meddle in other people's business. What does it have to do with you that Gu Zhi was captured?" Wu Ying said helplessly.

"It doesn't directly involve me, but it does involve Sister Li! If it involves Sister Li then it also involves me! Do you understand?"

"..."

"Let me tell you, Sister Li, Xiao Han and Miao Miao are extremely important people to me, their business is Su Mo's business!"

Wu Ying glanced at her and subconsciously asked, "Then who's more important to you, them or me?"

Su Mo blurted out, "Of course it's them!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Mo immediately felt the air pressure around her drop instantly.

"Of course it's them...you are just as important!" Su Mo immediately changed her words.

Wu Ying was so angry by Su Mo's words he almost choked, "Since they are more important, then should I leave?"

Wu Ying was about to leave. Su Mo hurriedly grabbed him, "No no no, I said you all are equally important, how could you ask me a question like that, isn't that the same as me asking you if your mother and I both fell in the river who would you save first?"

"My mother is already dead." Wu Ying said.

"..."

"What if your mother wasn't dead then?"

Wu Ying paused for a moment, "My mother knows how to swim..."

"What if she didn't know how to swim and neither did I? And we were very far apart from each other, who would you save first?" Su Mo stared at him.

Wu Ying paused again, "Then...let's first go to Fu Hua Building to save Gu Zhi..."

Wu Ying said and immediately pulled Su Mo along to walk away.

Su Mo held in her laughter, little one, can an ancient person like you still not handle me?

...

When they arrived at Fu Hua Building, there weren't as many people as there were at night since it was still daytime.

Sang Li arrived first and sat in the lobby.

After a while, Su Mo and Wu Ying also arrived.

Su Mo walked over and asked, "Sister Li, any news about Gu Zhi? I had a good impression of him last time I was here."

"Gu Zhi? He has been gone for quite some time." Qing Feng said.

"Call your manager over!" Wu Ying said in a low voice.

Qing Feng paused for a moment, a little afraid of Wu Ying. He immediately said, "Alright, I'll go get him right away."

Qing Feng turned and left. Su Mo watched his back as he left, and felt that he still carried a scholarly elegance.

Her eyes were suddenly blocked by a large hand, and Wu Ying's voice came into her ears, "See something you like?"

"Hehe..." Su Mo chuckled drily, "Not at all, not even one ten thousandth as good looking as you!"

"..."

Buttering him up quite smoothly.

Qing Feng had just gone upstairs when he saw a group of male escorts running out of a private room at the end of the second floor hallway, accompanied by the sound of screams.

"Ahhh help, dead body! Dead body! Help!"

The crowd tumbled down the stairs towards them, some even stumbling in the process.

Hearing the screams, Sang Li and the others immediately headed upstairs.

They saw the group of male escorts with pale faces, seeming to have been scared out of their wits.

"What's going on?" Qing Feng asked immediately. freew𝚎bn𝐨𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝚘𝗺

"Those two big men...died inexplicably..." one of the escorts stammered.

Sang Li and Su Mo immediately headed into the room. Qing Feng wanted to stop them but it was too late.

Inside the room were two dead bodies of big men, blood flowing from all seven orifices of their heads, eyes wide open, the room a mess.

And she recognized these two men, they were the ones who captured Gu Zhi last time.

"They're the two men who captured Gu Zhi yesterday." Wu Ying said.

At this time, the manager of Fu Hua Building had arrived.

"Everyone, this is private business of my Fu Hua Building, please leave first."

Sang Li took a look at them, then pulled Su Mo out of the room.

"Sister Li, why didn't you just directly ask them?" Su Mo said.

"We have no evidence, they won't admit to capturing Gu Zhi."

After they left the room, they saw the escorts whispering.

Sang Li looked towards a young escort in the corner, immediately walked over, and secretly gave him a silver ingot.

"Can you tell me what just happened inside?"

The escort was quite young. He squeezed the silver in his hand, and finally said, "Those two big men were fine just earlier, teaching us the rules here, but suddenly they grabbed their own necks, fell to the ground, and started rolling around. We didn't know what happened and didn't dare step forward rashly, but after a short while, blood started flowing from their seven orifices, and when we went to check on them, they were already dead..."

"Did they bring any captured person back yesterday?"

"Well this is..." The escort hesitated.

Sang Li saw this and gave him another silver ingot.

The escort smiled and took the silver. Leaning in closer he softly said, "I did see them bring back a man in red last night when I got up to pee, looks like he was locked up in the wood shed..."
