109: Chapter 108 Disappeared 109: Chapter 108 Disappeared Mu Chen was suddenly stunned.
At this moment, he doubted whether there was a woman with him.
Was there a woman with him?
No, there wasn’t, and buying flowers without a woman was a bit awkward.
However, seeing that Mu Chen did not pay right away, the boss said, “You two, get out of the way and don’t hinder my business.”
Look at the child, so innocent and cute.” The blind mother spoke with a smile.
“Hmph, I’ve seen too many swindlers like you, pretending and exploiting children to scam people; not in my place,” the middle-aged boss exclaimed once again.
However, just as the little girl’s mother wanted to say something, she stopped and pulled the little girl to leave, letting the girl lead her away.
“Wait, I’ll buy it,” Mu Chen suddenly said with a smile.
“Young man, am I hearing things?
This might be a scam,” the middle-aged man said, his expression changing upon seeing Mu Chen wanted to buy.
“I believe them,” Mu Chen said with a smile.
“Ah, is this the sin of being kind?” the middle-aged man sighed, having been on this street for many years and seen too much.
“Uncle, how many would you like to buy?” the little girl said with a smile, undisturbed by the surroundings.
“Just one will do,” Mu Chen said with a smile.
“Here you go, Uncle.”
Mu Chen received a bunch of flowers and took out a hundred yuan, then said, “This is for you.”
“This is a hundred yuan, but Uncle, I don’t have ninety-five yuan to give you change.”
“No need for change, it’s a gift for your cuteness.”
“No, Uncle, mom said we should only take what’s due, we can’t take more.
Wait for me for a moment, I’ll go get change for you,” the little girl insisted cutely.
“Yes, we don’t take extra money from others,” the little girl’s mother said seriously, then hurriedly left.
Mu Chen didn’t speak, immediately taking out a hundred yuan and giving it to the middle-aged boss, then said, “Change.”
“Oh, oh!” Although hesitant, the middle-aged boss quickly gave the change.
After getting the change, Mu Chen quickly left, knowing that a hundred yuan was a small amount but a lot for those in need.
“Where’s Uncle?” the little girl said, returning with the change and looking around, but couldn’t find Mu Chen.
“Didn’t you see him?” the little girl’s mother asked.
He was a good person.”
“Mom, what do we do now?”
“Keep it, if we meet him again, then give it to him.”
The two talked and quickly left as well.
After leaving, Mu Chen walked around, as he would be living here for a while, observing the surroundings to get familiar with them.
So, after half an hour of idling, Mu Chen entered a bar called Bylixiang, starting his nightlife.
Inside the bar, lights flashing everywhere, attractive men and women and exciting DJ sets ignited the atmosphere.
Mu Chen, as usual, went to the bar counter, ordered a cocktail, and began looking for targets.
“Handsome, care for some company with your drink?” At that moment, a garishly dressed woman approached Mu Chen, wrapping her arm around his.
“In her thirties, sagging breasts, average buttocks, no thanks,” Mu Chen assessed the woman and then seriously said.
“Hmph, you don’t know what’s good!
I’m great in bed,” the woman said, then immediately turned and left, looking for her next target.
“…” Mu Chen suddenly felt embarrassed; good skills indeed hold great allure.
“Darn, this is embarrassing.
Isn’t there a woman scoring above eighty here?” Mu Chen complained after scanning the area for a few moments, finishing his cocktail.
“Whatever, I’ll go look for Jinxuan in the nightclub district!
Miss her after not seeing her for a day,” Mu Chen smiled and immediately left.
Mu Chen didn’t feel attached to the villa anymore; returning would mean facing Liu Yuxi’s cold looks, not better than hanging out outside.
However, right after Mu Chen left, he stepped outside and his expression instantly changed because he saw Hua’er’s mother, but Hua’er wasn’t with her.
“Hua’er, where are you?
“Come out quickly, don’t make mommy worry, don’t make mommy worry.”
“Has anyone seen my daughter, five years old, wearing two braids, cute dimples, very cute-looking?”
“Even if not, can some kind soul help by calling the police, my daughter is missing.”
Hua’er’s mother spoke in a quick succession, her face full of varying degrees of worry.
Mu Chen frowned and his expression changed, realizing what might have happened; the little girl might have been taken away or deceived.
But the passersby ignored Hua’er’s blind mother as if it wasn’t their concern.
At this moment, Mu Chen’s expression darkened again, feeling the coldness of human nature, how dreadful it could be, even a simple act of calling the police would have been nice, but alas, nobody did.
Mu Chen immediately approached Hua’er’s mother and said, “I’m the one who bought flowers from you just now, tell me, where did your daughter go missing?”
The kind person?” Though the mother of the little girl couldn’t see, she clearly recognized Mu Chen’s voice.
“Yes, just call me Mu Chen.”
“Mu Chen, good to meet you.
Here, this is for you; we owe nothing to anyone,” Hua’er’s mother said, hurriedly handing Mu Chen ninety-five yuan.
“Why bother?” Mu Chen took it, feeling helpless; he had to accept it as he saw that this woman would not keep the money.
“We have our dignity, and we don’t cut corners, we can support ourselves.”
Sorry for being abrupt, but can you tell me where your daughter went missing?
“Kind person, are you really willing to help me?”
“Yes, you deserve my help.”
“My daughter went missing about twenty minutes ago, about five or six blocks away.
I was using the restroom, thinking Hua’er would wait outside, but when I came out, no matter how I called, Hua’er didn’t answer, I couldn’t find her,” the woman said, starting to cry as if her heart was being cut.
“That’s not much to go on, can you remember if you encountered anybody before?”
“Yes, after the kind person, we met a woman.
I don’t know what she looks like, but she came up saying my daughter was very cute and offered a lot of money to buy her, but I refused every time.
I think that woman took my daughter.”
“Still a bit tricky, too little clues, almost like finding a needle in a haystack,” Mu Chen furrowed his brow, feeling that the woman couldn’t provide much more information.
