In Freddie's house.
Casey untied all the ropes from Freddie. Freddie rubbed his face and said, "I didn't expect you would be so great. The bald guy has so many people, but they can’t defeat you."
"Since you saved me, I won't kick you out, but I don't know you or what your purpose is. If you want to ask me something, you have to give me money. As long as you give me money, I am willing to tell you everything."
Casey laughed. He really couldn't think of how the powerful boss had become such a rogue step by step.
"Are you sure you will tell me everything as long as I give you the money?" Casey asked.
"Of course, I am very short of money now. How could I dislike money?" Freddie looked like a miser.
"Okay. I want to know about Guanling. As long as you are willing to tell me, money is not problem." Casey said.
Freddie, who was still staring at Casey as if he was a miser, suddenly stiffened after hearing what Casey said. After that, his entire face sank. There was an indescribable cold feeling from his body.
He stared at Casey indifferently, then directly pushed Casey directly out of the house.
Casey looked at Freddie with a confused expression on his face, and said, "Didn't you say you will tell me everything as long as I give you the money?"
Freddie gave Casey a cold look and yelled, "Get out of here, I don't know Guanling. Don't come to me anymore."
After speaking, Freddie slammed the door closed directly.
Looking at the closed door, Casey stepped forward again, and knocked twice. But this time, there was no sound from inside.
Casey shook his head helplessly. It seemed that it was not easy to ask anything about Guanling from Freddie.
"I can only try again after two days." Casey muttered, then turned around to walk towards the places in the old town where the houses could be rented.
He had to live closer to Freddie these days, lest Freddie run away. Otherwise, he couldn't find Freddie.
When Casey was on the way to Freddie's house, he saw the two-story house in front of Freddie's house with the notes on it, saying the second floor could be rented. So Casey wanted to ask.
Although the houses in this old town were a bit dilapidated, and many of them were similar to those in the village, Casey didn’t mind living conditions. His main task now was to ask Freddie about Guanling. So he could accept to live in this kind of place for a few days.
As he walked toward the front, his cell phone rang. It was Edith who called.
"Honey, what's the matter?" Casey asked.
"I can't call you?" Edith seemed to be very angry. She was irritable now.
"You can. Of course you can. But I still have something to do. You see..." Casey said with a smile, not knowing what happened to Edith.
"You are implying that all your things are important, and that I am the only idler who has nothing to do, right?" Edith said irritably.
Edith was greatly discouraged by what the woman said in the bar. After leaving the bar, Edith could always hear people in various places saying that she was not good enough for Casey.
Originally, she could still stick herself. But after listening to other people's words, even she herself began to wonder whether she could match Casey.
