Yin Mu is on a trail next to the school. It is most convenient to take express delivery along this trail. There are a few shops in the surrounding area, but few of them open to the trail.
Being a "talent scout" in such an area, it's hard not to make Yin Mu think that this person is waiting here on purpose. Yin Mu doesn't understand this industry, but the other person is more like a human trafficker than a talent scout.
"You are..." [Bang!]
Just when Yin Mu restrained the opponent against the wall, an unfinished sentence came from behind Yin Mu, and it seemed to be a woman's voice.
Yin Mu pressed the scout to the wall so that he couldn't break free. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and was startled when he saw the other person's face.
After seeing Yin Mu's face, the man took off his mask and asked with a smile: "Are you studying here?"
"Zoe...? Why are you here? You shouldn't..." "You should be busy with filming and other things? I'm taking a break and will go back later. What are you doing?"
Yin Mu explained to Zoe what the scout had done, and Zoe looked at the scout with a crooked eyebrow and a smile.
Yin Mu curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Your circle recruits people who like to force themselves?"
"Maybe it's because Yin Mu is really good. I will tell the people in their company and leave it to me." Zoe held the talent scout's business card that Yin Mu gave her in her hand.
"Well, it doesn't matter if he's not a human trafficker. If so... someone with a sound mind wouldn't want to kidnap someone next to my school."
"That's right."
"Then I'll go back first." Yin Mu clapped his palms to dust them off and turned around to go back to the dormitory.
"Hey, Yin Mu, wait a minute." Zoe called Yin Mu, and Yin Mu turned around in confusion. Zoe took out her mobile phone, "Shall we exchange contact information?"
Yin Mu was even more puzzled: "Why? I shouldn't have any contact with you in the future. It doesn't seem necessary."
"But I quite like you, you're so cool."
Yin Mu was stunned, the tips of his ears were red, and he took out his mobile phone from his pocket: "Well..."
…
After the summer vacation, Yin Mu came to the manor named "Mingtian" according to the address sent by Lu Ya. He saw the open iron gate, the garden and residence inside the wall, and the housekeeper and male and female servants who greeted him.
Yin Mu stared blankly at the middle-aged man with wrinkles in front of him who claimed to be a butler, and blurted out: "Where are my dad and Uncle Lu? Did they ask you to greet me?"
The housekeeper smiled broadly: "Gentlemen are at work now. Miss...are you dissatisfied with us?"
"Whether you are satisfied or not, let's talk about it. I am a countryman and have never seen such a scene. Can you evacuate the people?" Yin Mu protected his luggage from the servants and frowned as he looked around.
The butler suddenly realized: "Ah - OK, OK, how many servants do you want to keep?"
"Just one is enough," Yin Mu glanced at the scooter on the side, looking at it like a sightseeing car used to travel around scenic spots, and asked: "Put your luggage on the car? Or sit directly and go to the house?"
"It's all fine, it depends on whether the lady wants to go home directly or play in the manor."
"Go home." Yin Mu said without thinking.
A maid who was left behind helped Yin Mu pull his luggage into the car, and the three of them got in the car and returned to the house in the manor.
Yin Mu said to himself in the car: "Visually it feels smaller than Fengjiao, but Fengjiao is open to the public...so what surprises does my dad have for me?"
The housekeeper smiled and said: "This manor was originally built by Mr. Hua for the Li family who came here to make a living. Later, the quality of life improved and many people settled in the city, so it gradually became abandoned."
"Then why are you here?" Yin Mu looked around and saw no sign of desertion at all.
"Sir, he asked us to take care of this place ten years ago, probably to prepare for emergencies," the maid answered.
Ten years ago, that is to say, Hua Ling had already planned to take over Xie Feng and me? Yin Mu calculated the time and felt that it was quite different.
Yin Mu nodded in understanding and said, "Then my brother..."
Before he finished speaking, a motorcycle drove past Yin Mu's car and shouted: "Sister!——"
Yin Mu was hit by the dust and looked back with question marks on his face: "What flew over?"
Yin Mu saw the back of Xie Feng driving his motorcycle. The key was that he was driving well and his movements were particularly smooth.
"When did this kid learn to ride a motorcycle?" Yin Mu's mouth twitched, and he looked in disbelief when he saw Xie Feng swinging away from the car.
When the car arrived in front of the house, Yin Mu looked up and saw a five-story castle. The surrounding greenery, the fountain flower bed in front of the building, the stone lion next to the door, and the servants standing in front of the door to greet her made her feel like she was in a different world.
With Yin Mu's consent, the servant packed the luggage and took it back to Yin Mu's room. The housekeeper asked, "Mr. Hua is in the study, do you want to take a look?"
"Ang... OK." Yin Mu was half-aware and followed the housekeeper into the elevator in the building.
After the two reached the third floor, Yin Mu realized: Damn, I just took the elevator in the residence?
Yin Mu was looking back at the closed elevator door in surprise. The housekeeper called Yin Mu to a double-open brown door.
Yin Mu imagined the appearance of the study in his mind, and opened the door with the housekeeper in a daze, and was surprised by the scene inside.
The study room you see after walking in from the door is like a cave, with spiral staircases extending downward and upward. The surrounding walls are filled with books, and the books in each area have category names written on them.
There is a platform in the middle with a desk on it. Hua Ling is on the platform with some books beside him. Stairs radiate from the platform to the surrounding walls, and the stairs are surrounded by handrails.
There are many light-transmitting windows on the surrounding walls. The roof seems to be a dome, which is transparent. At the end of the upward stairs, there is a door that can be opened. After opening, there is a circular walkway around the periphery of the dome.
The surrounding decorations are all classical Chinese style. The wall decorations have many patterns that can be seen at a glance. Even the color matching of the bookshelf will gradually change the color depth according to the different categories of books.
Yin Mu had never seen a study room like this before. It looked like a luxury bookstore or library that he had seen on TV before, but he never imagined that this was a study room that belonged to a family.
The butler exited and closed the door.
When Yin Mu looked at Hua Ling, a black bird suddenly flew down and stopped on the walkway connecting Yin Mu and the platform.
Hua Ling and Yin Mu looked at the black bird together, and Hua Ling looked at Yin Mu again: "Come back?"
Yin Mu was stunned and walked along the aisle to the platform. After approaching the black bird, he saw clearly that it was a crow. The crow flew onto Yin Mu's raised wrist. Yin Mu looked at Hua Ling: "Dad, are you a prince?"
"Huh?" Hua Ling closed the book in his hand, stood up and asked Yin Mu with a smile, "Why do you have such a doubt?"
Yin Mu frowned: "Isn't it obvious? This is like living in a castle. Afeng didn't say anything when he saw this?"
"He accepts it quickly, but if you like, I can make you a princess."
After Yin Mu came to the platform, the crow flew onto Hua Ling's shoulder and rubbed Hua Ling's cheek.
Yin Mu twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced to the side: "Forget it, forget it."
