Chapter 416: Miss Bai, who has no particular background, 163 (Second Update)_1
The old man looked much older than Ji Heng, with silver hair and a black hat; he must have just arrived in Xiangcheng, still holding a thick coat in his hands.
Ji Heng squinted his eyes, looking at the old man’s face, and finally found him in the somewhat blurry memories.
“Butler Lou.”
He spoke.
Behind him, Mrs. Liu, seeing that Ji Heng had a visitor, put down her needle and stood up uneasily, “Uncle Ji, you’re busy here, so I’ll go home and cook.”
Once she left, Ji Heng stepped aside to let the two in.
Butler Lou silently observed the entire courtyard.
Ever since he heard about Ji Heng, he had been tirelessly searching for him, aware that Ji Heng might be living poorly, but he hadn’t expected it to be this bad.
This dilapidated scene… was nothing like he had imagined.
Ji Heng poured a cup of tea for the two and invited them to sit at the stone table, then picked up his smoking pipe, “What do you want from me?”
Back at Yunxiao Hotel, Ji Heng had anticipated that they might come looking for him.
He hadn’t expected that they would find his address in such a short amount of time.
Upon hearing this, Butler Lou looked up, pondered for a long while, and said, “Do you intend to let your descendants stay here forever?”
Ji Heng was also Mu Heng.
He lit his cigarette, glanced at Butler Lou, he wasn’t born in these times, his mother was a concubine of the Mu Family, and he was the illegitimate eldest young master of the Mu Family.
Hearing Butler Lou’s words, he fell silent.
Ji Mulan had escaped Xiangcheng for this very reason, while Ji Shaojun and Ji Shaorong had never gone against Ji Heng’s wishes, always staying in Xiangcheng dutifully.
After a while, Ji Heng spoke, “What’s happened to the Mu Family?”
Butler Lou wasn’t surprised by his sharpness and slowly said, “Sixteen years ago, there was an experiment lab under the snow mountain, and the Mu Family had the fortune to join, so the second young master sent the core members, but… the mountain collapsed.”
Ji Heng was taken aback; he hadn’t inquired about the Mu Family for many years and had thought it was still the same, “None returned?”
“Yes,” Butler Lou said with a rueful smile, “It seems… only one person miraculously survived after being buried for three days.”
As for who it was, that was a secret beyond their clearance.
Upstairs, through a half-open window, someone watched them. freeweɓnovel.cøm
