Chapter 181 The Short Man Working Overtime

Night is another world, the world of the dead.

After nightfall, even a super-class wizard would not dare to rush into the suburbs rashly. The vigorous vitality of a super-class wizard might attract a few monarch-level undead.

But if you prepare well in advance, even ordinary people who don't know magic can walk back and forth on the deserted road left over from thousands of years ago like walking on a tightrope.

However, there is a group of people who work hard to earn this hard-earned money. If Xu Fan and Mo Fan want to find Zhang Xiaohou, they really need the help of such people.

It's a pity that the two of them came too hastily. In addition, Xu Fan and the other man were obviously going to search for their missing companions. In such a large market, no one dared to lead the way for them.

"Twenty million can't impress them? Wow, they're even more ruthless than me!"

Mo Fan was a little impatient. Even though he revealed his high-level cultivation, it only made those local bullies even more frightened.

"Don't worry, let's go find Mu Bai!"

Xu Fan sighed and said that he had heard about the recent events. The riot in the Shawang River in Zhuoyuan had indirectly affected the undead ecology in the ancient capital.

These old men all believed that something big was going to happen in the Undead Empire. At this time, the higher the level of cultivation, the more dangerous it was. Some people directly sold items such as gray garlic that could cover up the smell of living people in the wild to some brave and fearless people.

Xu Fan and his companion were not very lucky. A group of suicide squads had just left the city at noon today. If Xu Fan and his companion really wanted to leave the city as soon as possible, they had to find people who had returned from outside the city.

Xu Fan brought Mo Fan directly to their residence. Mo Fan was still a little confused at first, but when he saw Mu Ningxue and Mu Bai appear in the hotel, he suddenly understood.

Yes, Mu Bai and Mu Ningxue were both from the Mu family in Bo City, and both were implicated by Mu Yuang and Mu He.

No matter what, the two of them still have a common clan relationship.

Xu Fan didn't have Mu Bai's contact information, but Mu Ningxue definitely did.

"I'm not going to take He Yu with me when we go to look for the monkey this time. I'll leave her to you! Don't let anyone get close to her until we bring the monkey back!"

Xu Fan said seriously that when he and Mu Ningxue met again after a short separation, the first sentence he said was a warning.

"I understand!"

Mu Ningxue didn't ask why, but Mo Fan beside her asked curiously why, because they had originally planned to take He Yu with them.

"If the monkey really died outside, then it would be all over. Even if something happened, it would not involve He Yu. But if the monkey came back alive, maybe someone would not want him to tell others what he saw!"

Xu Fan said patiently, his brain was working at full speed. He was thinking, Zhang Xiaohou clearly saw Mu He, but why did Mu He give Zhang Xiaohou the forgetfulness bug instead of killing him directly to silence him?

"Oh, I understand! Green Tea... Mu Bai, we fought side by side back then, so you must take good care of He Yu!"

Mo Fan said this seriously, with the implication that he was entrusting Baidi City with his son, and Mu Bai was stunned for a moment before nodding deeply.

After all these years of training, Mu Bai is no longer the arrogant young man he used to be. He has also experienced ups and downs in the past few years. Even Mo Fan, who used to be hostile to him, no longer has any hostility towards him.

Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu were also his classmates, so he would naturally do his best to help them.

Mu Bai actually still didn't know what exactly happened, but as soon as Mu Ningxue said a word, he came.

Mu Ningxue only knew more about Zhang Xiaohou's accident than Mu Bai. To be honest, Mu Ningxue didn't think she could provide much help to Xu Fan.

But now she understood. It turned out that Xu Fan suspected that there was a hidden story behind Zhang Xiaohou's disappearance, so Xu Fan went to look for Zhang Xiaohou's whereabouts personally, while using He Yu as bait to catch a big fish, and she was Xu Fan's hook!

Afterwards, Xu Fan mentioned the guide to Mu Bai, and Mu Bai quickly introduced the two to a snakehead who was in need of money. When Xu Fan heard that the address Mu Bai gave was a hospital, he realized that the man Mu Bai was talking about was the short man who appeared in the original novel.

"Why don't we just change to another one!"

When they reached the obstetrics and gynecology ward, Mo Fan suddenly slowed down and spoke hesitantly.

He now understood that the person they were looking for was a man who was about to become a father. Mo Fan was afraid that something unexpected would happen and cause the child to lose his father at birth.

"No need to change, just him. He should be very short of money right now. At worst, we can take care of him more when we have the chance!"

Xu Fan said expressionlessly, then knocked on the door of the ward.

"It must be Mr. Xu who was recommended by Mr. Mu!"

The person who opened the door for the two of them was a short man with a look of happiness on his face. Xu Fan glanced into the ward and saw a woman leaning against the bed with a big belly. There was some dissatisfaction on her face, but it disappeared in an instant.

Xu Fan could feel that the woman’s dissatisfaction was not directed at him or her, but at another person in the room.

On the other side of the bed was a young man, probably the short man’s partner Fang Youmiao. His face was full of embarrassment and guilt.

"Hello Mr. Gao, just call me Xu Fan! This is my brother Mo Fan!"

Xu Fan also gave a brief introduction and then followed the short man into the ward. Fang Youmiao quickly moved two stools for the two of them.

"Haha, just call me Shorty. If you keep calling me Mr. Tall, I'll get mad!"

The short man laughed, he was a little embarrassed. They said there were wrong names but not wrong nicknames. He didn't know why he was so short when his surname was tall.

"In fact, we just got back yesterday, and our plan was to take a break for a while before starting work again!"

The short man glanced at Fang Youmiao next to him and said, then paused, gently stroked his beard and looked at Xu Fan.

"Thank you for making the extra trip, brothers. We'll pay you this amount!"

Xu Fan naturally understood the short man's intention, and then he stretched out two fingers, but the short man's hand shook and messed up his carefully groomed mustache.

"thousand?"

"thousand!"

Hearing Xu Fan's reply, the short man burst into laughter. Fang Youmiao next to him clenched his fists excitedly. Although the woman on the hospital bed still had some reluctance on her face, there was encouragement in her eyes.

"Done! Tomorrow morning, we'll meet downstairs at the West City Building! Just bring the person there, and I'll take care of the rest!"

The short man slapped his thigh and said, although they worked hard to earn money, they could only earn a little more from some outsiders. They were lucky if they could have a million left after deducting the expenses after going out for a walk.

Twenty million. Even if he prepared extra copies of all the items, he could still get at least ten million!

"Okay, we'll wait for you in West City tomorrow morning!"

Xu Fan nodded, but stopped when he was about to leave and placed a topaz dragon-shaped jade pendant beside the bed.
