After a moment of silence on the phone, the man said, "All right. I'll transfer the remaining payment now, but you have to guarantee that Di Zheng won't see the sun tomorrow!"
Mu Xiu said with a grin, "Don't worry. He won't even see tonight's moon, let alone tomorrow's sun."
The person on the other end of the phone gave a quiet "Mm," and the call was disconnected.
Mu Xiu turned around and took the opportunity to grab the receptionist's hand as he returned the phone. "Thank you, miss. Are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"
The receptionist blushed and quickly pulled her hand back. She said softly, "Sorry, I have a date tonight."
"So you have a boyfriend. What a shame." Mu Xiu shrugged with a grin, not minding at all.
Just then, he suddenly thought of a serious problem.
He had thrown away his phone earlier. Even if the client transferred the remaining payment, he wouldn't receive the text notification.
"Forget it. I doubt he'd dare cheat me."
"Besides, money comes second to me. It's the process of hunting that really excites me."
Mu Xiu then rented a room, took the room card from the receptionist, and left.
A moment later, he entered his room.
It was a single room with limited space, but it was furnished rather warmly.
A poster was pasted on the wall, bearing the words, "Li Jing Hotel Welcomes You."
Mu Xiu drew open the curtains again and saw the advertising sign for Times Department Store across the street.
After looking around the room, Mu Xiu lay spread-eagled on the bed and smiled. "Let me see how that City Lord is doing now."
He closed his eyes.
At the same time.
