Chapter 17: The Time Hasn’t Come (I)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Rongcheng almost exploded when he saw Mu Zi's unconstrained look!
However, his mother had always been biased towards her since she was young, and there was no limit to it!
"I'm not eating anymore! I'm going out to drink!" Mu Rongcheng stood up and left.
"Eh? Why are you going out again… Are you coming home tonight?" Bai Wei was very worried about her son who often went out to spend his time on drinks and pleasure, but she could not control him.
"Mom, he's going to find you a daughter-in-law. Let him go, he might even get you a grandchild…" Mu Zi made an insensitive remark.
Mu Rongcheng was speechless outside the door.
'I really want to go back to strangle her!' He thought to himself.
...
Mu Rongcheng headed to the Walker Royal Hotel.
Although it was a hotel, it was more like a big-scaled integrated resort. Apart from being a huge hotel, it consisted of a casino, a KTV, a bar, a nightclub, and an indoor gymnasium.
Outside the building, Mu Rongcheng looked similar to the other rich playboys who led an extravagant life. Once he was inside, he took a private lift and got rid of his cynical attitude as if he changed into another person.
His black eyes were sharp, his lips were pursed, and the imposing manner that he carried amidst his calm bearing made him look unordinary.
When the lift arrived at the top floor, he was welcomed by a different world.
Instead of noisy music and slot machines that confused one's eyes, there was only a long path that led to a heavily guarded room.
The bodyguards on either side lowered their heads and bowed at him a little to greet him respectfully.
"Get Wang Zhan here," Mu Rongcheng said before he entered the room.
The room's interior had a dark tone, where the black decorations gave a solid visual. Hints of red were used as an embellishment, which created a grand and mysterious look. Overall, the design matched Mu Rongcheng's temperament very well and was stunning.
Mu Rongcheng sat on a black leather couch, then loosened his collar fretfully and lit a cigarette.
A bloodthirsty look was seen on his handsome face when he puffed on the cigarette.
When Wang Zhan arrived, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Mu Rongcheng.
The boy rarely smoked.
There could only be one reason if he smoked, which was that he was in a very terrible mood!
Wang Zhan approached him carefully. "Master, did you call for me?"
Mu Rongcheng did not look at him. He fixed his gaze on the fiberglass tea table in front of him and had a deep, mysterious look in his eyes.
"Have you found Old Ghost Huang?" He asked.
Beads of cold sweat formed on Wang Zhan's forehead. "No, our men had turned his ruined courtyard inside out, and are watching the main traffic arteries nearby, but there isn't any news yet…"
Mu Rongcheng exhaled smoke and maintained a dark face without saying a word.
Wang Zhan said carefully, "Master, don't worry. That old man took a lot of gold from us, so he can't go too far. I've asked our men to keep an eye out at gold stores and pawnshops."
Instead of pressing on Old Ghost Huang's location, Mu Rongcheng asked, "Tell me, do you think it's possible to use a corpse to resurrect a dead soul?"
Wang Zhan was startled. "He was introduced by Boss Jia, so there shouldn't be a mistake…"
He was quick-witted so he quickly asked, "Master, is there a problem with… Xu Shihan?"
Mu Rongcheng stamped the cigarette butt on the ashtray. "Even if Su Zi lost her memories, she shouldn't be like that."
"Uh…" Wang Zhan responded hesitantly, "The time, the location, and the Four Pillars of Destiny were done according to Old Ghost Huang's instructions, so there shouldn't be a problem. Master, we put in a lot of effort into finding a suitable instrument. Should we… Wait for a while more?"
Mu Rongcheng looked up and glared at him.
Wang Zhan smiled awkwardly. "What I meant is… Perhaps the time hasn't come yet? For all you know, she'll be possessed in a few days!"
