Sick collector (11)

It had to be said that with the operation of capital, money rolled faster. Although it was not comparable to the Xu family, and even less to the He family, Lu Yi quietly became a rookie in the circle.

Several generations of aristocratic families looked down on young people like Lu Yi who came up by “luck”. They thought that the upstarts had no background, and the money they earn was just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later they would hit the streets.

Lu Yi sighed a little. After all, he grew up in such an old-fashioned aristocratic family. He had always been looked up to by rookies, and he had never been despised by others.

But on second thought, this was just the mission to collect Yu Ke´s fragments. Moreover, the older generation looked down on him, so he had to work harder.

Businessmen value profits, and when he could climb to a position on an equal footing with them, they would naturally forget what they had said about him, and praise him for his self-made, young talent.

Because he was busy earning money, Lu Yi didn’t think much about Xu Musi. He began to frequent the banquets of various high society. Of course, it was just a normal entertainment. In order to exchange resources, he entered the circle of these people, so for his better business development.

How could someone as sensitive as Xu Musi not find out what was wrong with Lu Yi.

Because of the confusion about his own feelings, Xu Musi naturally thought of the special collection that had been silently accompanying himself some time ago, that is, Lu Yi.

After the other party’s euphemistic protest, he gave up the name Lu Si and called him Luyi, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he hadn’t seen Lu Yi much during this time.

As a collectible, Luyi was not always by his side. In the past, the two met every day and stayed together for more than ten hours a day. That was because he had a course, and Luyi accompanied him like a companion beside an ancient scholar.

The rest of the time, the other party always stayed quietly alone, instead of revolving around him like a headless fly.

This was also the point why Xu Musi could accept the other party, because Luyi’s performance was indeed very well-behaved and considerate.

During this period of time, his whole person had been very decadent, he called the busy butler in the inner house and asked where Lu Yi was, but the butler said that the young man named Luyi had not been here for a long time.

When Xu Musi heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment. He felt that something was not right. He thought about it carefully, and then asked the housekeeper to come over and count the frequency of Luyi’s visits during this period.

He threw a cup on his hand and asked the housekeeper, “Since he hasn’t come for so many days, why didn’t you mention it to me?”

The housekeeper Ying Bo was a little aggrieved: “You didn’t say it, I thought you knew.”

In what capacity that Luyi appeared here, Father Xu didn’t know, but he, the housekeeper, knew very well.

It was just a collection, a young man from an ordinary family, an ordinary citizen who couldn’t be more ordinary. The host didn’t give any special instructions, why did they spend so much resources on each other.

Of course, he didn’t think the other party would make public his experience during this time. Human beings are animals that seek benefits and avoid harm. What’s more, among them, apart from Lin Miao who committed suicide by cutting his wrists, no one was physically hurt.

Moreover, Lin Miao committed suicide, because he himself had a problem, and what did it have to do with them.

After the accident, people were also sent out by them. If he wanted to punish them through the law, he must first have strong and sufficient evidence.

If there was no evidence, then no one could do anything with them. Besides, the enterprises under the Xu family’s name were considered to be big taxpayers in this province. For this, no one would come to trouble them without sufficient evidence.

Originally, Luyi had not come over these days, and he thought that his young master had forgotten about him.

As a result, Xu Musi suddenly mentioned this, which surprised him.

Xu Musi closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and recalled the last day he saw Luyi.

His memories were added to the nearly quarterly videotape at the gate that the housekeeper found.

At the beginning, he came every day, then once every three or two days, and then once a week. As of today, Lu Yi had not visited the Xu family mansion for nearly a month.

It was all because he was rejected by He Si before, his mental state was not good, and his attention was on He Si, ignoring Lu Yi, so much that he only found out now that the latter was wrong.

His health was not very good, but with anger towards Lu Yi, he took those people from the beginning to visit Lu Yi’s residence in person, and found that the tenant of the rental house had already changed.

It wasn’t Lu Yi who opened the door amid the fierce knock, but a swearing, shirtless middle-aged man.

The other party didn’t have any shirt on, revealing his fat body. He was still saying swear words. After opening the door, when he saw the group in front of him, his chin was about to fall.

The man stammered and asked, “You… who are you?”

Although the boy in the wheelchair looked slender and weak, his gloomy temperament and the group of strong people behind him gave people a feeling that these people were super difficult to mess with.

Xu Musi looked at his housekeeper: “Are you sure, this is Luyi’s address?”

Although Luyi joined the job before graduating, and the salary could be regarded as good among his peers, but with that amount of money, it was impossible for the other party to buy real estate in the city without food or drink.

And during this time, the private detectives he found all told him that there was no problem.

What was the problem?!

Xu Musi’s face turned cold: “Find the landlord for me.”

“Yes!” The big men surrounding him quickly found the poor and thin landlord and questioned him clearly.

As a result of the interrogation, Lu Yi reduced the frequency of coming to the Xu family mansion and here, he already refunded the rent, and the landlord only handed over the house to others normally.

He went to pick up the private detective he hired before. At first, the other party was still talking about him, and he refused to tell the truth. After a little suffering, he explained everything, he said to have received a large sum of money from Luyi.

On the way back, when he passed by small newspaper stand, he caught a glimpse of what looked like a photo of Lu Yi.

He ordered people to stop, called the housekeeper, and brought back the day’s newspaper.

Then Xu Musi found out that too many things seemed to have happened while he was hiding to heal. Luyi had changed from an ordinary person to a rich man with a comfortable life.

He spent several days analyzing Lu Yi’s successful operation. He was sure that there were people who invested a lot of money.

With Lu Yi’s identity, it was impossible to borrow so much money from the bank. Someone must had been his investor.

But such a poor and white young man had never started a business before. With his introverted and shy personality, how could he get so much money from investors?

Thinking of this, he asked someone to check for him again. This time, it was not an unreliable private detective, but a relative of his who was a very successful as a paparazzi.

Lu Yi was able to be on the cover of the entertainment section. Although the title was about creating a new era, it took up a lot of space in it.

After investigation, he found that Lu Yi’s money was invested by He Si, and He Si also held most of the shares in the investment company founded by Lu Yi.

Because of his status as a partner, He Si supported Lu Yi.

In this circle, it was important to be good yourself, but if someone was willing to give you a hand, the development would definitely be much faster.

From the photos brought by the private detective, the relationship between the two was obviously very close, although there was no such thing as holding hands or kissing, but! But He Si’s look at Lu Yi was clearly filled with affection.

How could these two be together! Lu Yi was just a somewhat special collectible.

With the passage of time, his understanding of Lu Yi had also been shaken. Although Lu Yi had always been creating a feeling of liking him, the other party had never once explicitly said that he liked him.

The movements were gentle, but the eyes were not affectionate.

Xu Musi had seen many couples and knew that people were different.

But among these people, none of them were like Lu Yi.

He was hesitant at first, but now he was sure that Lu Yi definitely didn’t like him, just for freedom, he had no choice but to make excuses with him.

Sure enough, no man was a good thing! Xu Musi scolded angrily, almost forgetting that he was also a man, so he scolded himself in this sentence.

But that was not the problem, the problem was that if he wanted to carry out the anger of being played against Lu Yi, he had to find the person first.

But the intersection between Lu Yi and the landlord was only limited to money transactions.

One-handed money and one-handed goods, Lu Yi had paid what he should have paid, and naturally there was no need to create any scandals with the greasy middle-aged old man.

Originally, he was not a traffic niche, and he lived a good life by himself. From the perspective of privacy and personal safety, the less people knew about it, the better.

Through the landlord, he was still unable to contact Lu Yi.

He was eager to find Lu Yi, and also found the company opened by the other party.

But Lu Yi was either on a business trip or on his way.

This was not the worst, the worst was that when he came out to find Lu Yi one day, he was knocked out.

Just like Lu Yi, he was kidnapped!
