Chapter 26 - Plato and the Beast

”I really don't know, because I haven't met her that many times. Anyway, the money is deposited into my card every month on time. I go to the bank every month on the 5th and confirm that I've got it and I won't go to her. ”

The greater the disappointment, the more he agreed with that statement. At this moment, Mu Yi Chu was extremely vexed. He felt that he had made a huge blunder and spent all that money for nothing. Just like giving money to a spirit carrier master to arrange a wedding for Bai Zhongning, it was a waste of effort.

”But I've seen her a few times, I feel that she looks different.” The middle-aged man felt it was strange, but women were like that. He felt that they could often change their appearances.

After this conversation, Mu Yi Chu nearly went crazy. This was a typical question that he didn't know the answer to.

Just as the corner of Mu Yi Chu's mouth twitched and he was about to head back dejectedly, the landlord suddenly patted his head and ran over to hold onto Mu Yi Chu.

”Young man, wait a minute, I remember, I remember!” That woman seemed to be called Xiao Bai something. Yes, I promise, her surname is Bai! That white one! I remember now, when she first came to rent a house a few years ago, I saw it once. At that time, she was still laughing and saying, ”Your surname is really special, I wonder if there is anyone with the surname 'Hehehe'.” As the middle-aged man spoke, he seemed to be immersed in his own humour.

Mu Yi Chu turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in shock. He was about to ask the question, but his serious expression didn't last long. That was because the middle-aged man's wisps of hair was truly too ridiculous.

Probably because the hair gel wasn't enough, when the wind blew, it would float and dance in the air. Not to mention, just looking at that hair, it was somewhat aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Mu Yi Chu thought of the words ”messy in the wind” and almost laughed out loud.

The landlord also seemed to have felt the change and nervously pressed down on his hair. After all, to him, this was a treasure as precious as money.

Mu Yi Chu moved the muscles on his face and adjusted his expression. ”Then let me recite a few names to you. Do you have any impression of them?”

As the middle-aged man combed his hair, he looked as if a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his mouth as he nodded his head in a serious manner.

”Bai Jingling?”

The middle-aged man shook his head.

”Bai Zhongning?”

The middle-aged man shook his head again.

”Didn't you say that your memory was lacking? How come you shook your head and denied it so quickly when I asked you?” Mu Zi and Chu Yu seriously suspected that this bald middle-aged man was messing with them.

”That's because I remember that the name is two-character, and I don't recognize the word at the back.” The middle-aged man replied as he reached out his hand to compare his actions.

”Are you sure the name is two words?” Mu Yi Chu asked again.

”That's right.” The landlord touched his hard left chest, which was a pile of furs. ”Lad, I touched my heart and told you everything. I remember I told you everything.” I really can't remember anything else. ”How long has it been?”

Mu Yi Chu was helpless. He didn't want to continue making things difficult for the middle-aged man. In his heart, he was slightly glad that he returned home. After all, it wasn't like he gained nothing.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Bai Jingling: ”Your family name is three words, do you have two words?” After sending the message, Mu Yi Chu threw his phone to the side, his mind filled with endless thoughts.

Mu Yi Chu pinched the center of his brows to comfort himself. He wasn't in a hurry. As long as he had a clue, he would definitely be able to capture that crazy woman.

When the female tenant An Ningyuan came to find Mu Yi Chu, Mu Yi Chu realized that three months had already passed.

”Hello, Mr. Landlord. Can I have a chat with you?” If not for the conversation he had in his own house, Mu Yichu definitely wouldn't have believed that the other party was speaking to him. To tell the truth, aside from the occasional glimpse of the lodger's shoes on the hall floor, Mu Yichu had forgotten about the existence of such a character.

Some people really were self-disciplined, only a few were able to achieve this. He could only achieve seven points at most, he thought. Say 10 points for 7 points.

”I'm on my way to work right now. Let's make an appointment for the evening. I'll be back early. ” Mu Chu pretended that he was in a hurry.
