Chapter 737: Mu Jiangli’s Cold Killing Intent Was Quite Terrifying

His voice was steady and gentle, “The outcomes for those women were similar. In the end, they all ended up bound by slave contracts, sold for a lifetime. So their families no longer sought their whereabouts, almost cutting off all leads. However… all these women with slave status, without exception, ended up in various major brothels!”

Liu Shimei was anxious, “All of them?”

She thought Jin Tao was just an isolated case?

Mu Jiangli nodded solemnly, saying, “All of them!”

“How did you come up with the idea to investigate from this angle, Brother Mu?” Liu Shimei said.

She realized that this was an unconventional approach! He was handsome, wealthy, and intelligent, hmm, impressive!

Mu Jiangli, of course, was unaware of Liu Shimei’s thoughts. He replied, “It’s difficult to find anything substantial about Du Gong himself. At most, I could only confirm that he has half of the Western Wei bloodline. After thinking it over, I thought of trying to reverse the search, perhaps yielding unexpected results.”

“I see.” Liu Shimei agreed with his direction, “Reverse thinking!”

She felt a bit regretful, “Why didn’t I think of these things? I knew Du Gong’s situation was chaotic, especially after witnessing the relationship between Jin Tao and Du Gong…”

Mentioning Jin Tao, her eyes brightened, “Brother Mu, have your people investigated Jin Tao?”

Mu Jiangli nodded, “Yes, they have. Currently, she is at the Zhongding Pavilion. I found out that Ninth… your Ninth Brother is also having someone keep an eye on her.”

Liu Shimei noticed a pause in his words and was slightly startled.

Without understanding everything, he asked again, “You mentioned earlier, seeing Jin Tao and Du Gong with your own eyes, what happened?”

In her eagerness to know if Mu Jiangli had found something following Jin Tao’s trail, Liu Shimei didn’t bother to analyze the pause Mu Jiangli had made earlier about mentioning Liang Yi.

Without much thought, she replied, “Jin Tao and Du Gong have an improper relationship. The day I resigned from the Zheng Medical Hall, wasn’t that the day I saw them like that…”

As she spoke further, she suddenly felt a change in Mu Jiangli’s aura!

Dark!

Yes, it was dark! Extremely Gloomy!

After entering the room, he took off his mask, revealing a face that rivaled Huangfu Lingyao’s. However, he had always been gentle with her, and this was the first time he showed such an expression – he was angry!

“Brother Mu?” Liu Shimei looked at him in confusion and asked, “Is something wrong?”

She felt that he seemed to be angry with her?

Mu Jiangli was angry, scarier than her silly dog!

Her silly puppy was fierce, but Mu Jiangli’s icy murderous aura was terrifying!

Perhaps he realized he went too far, and quickly restrained his emotions.

Still somewhat displeased, he said, “Shimei, although you are a doctor, you are also a young lady from a respectable family. You shouldn’t get involved in such dirty matters in the future!”

Liu Shimei,

Her eyes rolled, thinking, Am I being scolded? Am I scolded by a friend of noble character? And he’s so stern! None of my many brothers have ever rebuked me like this!’

His tone was like an older brother scolding his younger sister for misbehaving, as if she had been caught peeping at fairies fighting!

She couldn’t help but smile and said, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I didn’t plan to listen by the wall. I just overheard them plotting against me, so I listened for a moment. But at that time, I couldn’t figure out what they wanted to plot against me. Now, hearing Brother Mu say this, I understand a bit!”

So, Du Gong wanted to do something to her, make her obedient, and then send her to a brothel?

What would she do at a brothel? Be a spy?

Mu Jiangli still looked at her disapprovingly.

Liu Shimei asked with dissatisfaction, “Brother Mu, how much did you find out about Jin Tao’s matter?”
