Chapter 681 Naive Obsessed Man
Although this man was glib-tongued, Lin Mengya didn’t think he was a bad guy.
However, what Qinghu hated the most was being addressed as “beauty”. He would be hard on anyone that addressed him as “beauty”, unless the person was Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya didn’t know whether this man was really unaware of this or just playing dumb. Anyway, Lin Mengya only knew that if the man continued shouting, they would inevitably attract attention.
“Forget it, and let him go. Stay away from us. My brother has a hot temper. If you don’t mess with us, he won’t make things difficult for you.” Lin Mengya pleaded.
On hearing this, Qinghu glared at the man fiercely before releasing his grip.
The man immediately retracted his hand. However, Lin Mengya knew very well that his wrist must have been out of joint.
Based on what had happened just now, Lin Mengya supposed the man was trying to pat her from behind.
Qinghu, who was as overprotective of her as her male family members, naturally would not allow him to do so.
“Click!” Hearing a few crisp sounds, Lin Mengya looked towards the man in surprise, only to find he had replaced his dislocated joint with a grimace.
Then he casually waved his hand in front of Qinghu and Lin Mengya as if intending to challenge Qinghu, who was impatient.
He did not plan to leave. Instead, he stared at the two of them obsessively.
At this moment, he, who had grimaced in pain, showed a normal expression.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and was a little surprised.
The man was not ugly and could even be considered handsome. His delicate facial features made a baby face which was not annoying.
If it were not for his looking steadily at them, his innocent face would probably have enabled him to leave a much better impression on them.
Qinghu stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Mengya to protect her.
He, whose handsome face had turned cold, said with killing intent in his slanted eyes, “If you keep looking, I’ll dig out your eyes!”
Qinghu had been annoyed with this man, who kept pestering them like a fly.
In particular, the way he stared at Lin Mengya annoyed Qinghu even more.
Although the man was fearful of Qinghu’s ruthless means, he still stood in front of the two of them and involuntarily fixed his eyes on them.
Although there was no evil desire in his eyes, Lin Mengya found the way he stared at her as if admiring a painting a little unbearable.
But this man was really weird. Just now, Qinghu had almost broken his hand, but he still stuck to them like sticking plaster.
Lin Mengya, who was annoyed, couldn’t help scolding this weirdo coldly with a frown, “Why aren’t you leaving? Are you seeking death?”
Lin Mengya’s crisp voice sounded mild and sweet-sounding despite her angry tone.
At the moment, the man seemed to be obsessed and looked at Lin Mengya with appreciation for her voice in his clear eyes.
Qinghu was p.i.s.sed off. When he was about to hit the man, Lin Mengya reached out to stop him and shook her head slightly at him.
The two of them were eye-catching enough.
If they got into a conflict with this man, they might alert the residents in the Ziwei Alley.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Mengya walked up to Qinghu, kept at least an arm’s length away from the man, and said to him, “Sir, we’re here for some business, so we hope you could do us a favor. If you keep attaching yourself to us, we have to leave.”
This man was really weird, but he didn’t offend them indeed.
Therefore, Lin Mengya could only try to persuade him to leave them with tactful words.
However, when the man heard that they were leaving, he was immediately clutched by emotion.
Hearing the two of them were leaving, the man said anxiously, “My pretty, don’t leave! I’ll leave! I’ll leave, okay?”
Then, he walked into the Ziwei Alley, while turning to look back repeatedly with a reluctant look in his eyes.
Could this man be a resident in the Ziwei Alley?
Watching the young man leaving, Lin Mengya suddenly called out to him, “Sir, please wait!”
When the young man heard her voice, his gloomy baby-face became radiant.
He quickened his pace to run towards her like a rabbit and said, “My pretty, what can I do for you? Just tell me. I’ll promise you anything!”
Frightened by his excessive enthusiasm, Lin Mengya took a step back and subconsciously grabbed Qinghu’s hand.
To be honest, she had not figured out what was going on with the man.
But now, this man might be the only breakthrough point for her.
Lin Mengya adjusted her expression, forced a smile and said to him despite her vigilance, “To tell you the truth, my brother and I are here to find someone. I’m wondering if you live in the Ziwei Alley?”
The man nodded without a second thought, and then pointed to an inconspicuous residence in the Ziwei Alley and answered, “Yes, I live here. I can help you find anyone living in the Ziwei Alley.”
Hearing the man’s words, Lin Mengya was overjoyed.
She asked, “We’re looking for a man probably nicknamed Gou San. Have you heard of him?”
Lin Mengya had thought that even if this man had never heard of Gou San, he should know some secrets about the alley.
However, the moment she mentioned the name Gou San, the man gave up admiring her pretty face, turned around, and ran into the alley with his baby face turning deathly pale.
At this moment, not to mention Lin Mengya, even Qinghu sensed something was wrong with the man.
With a snort, Qinghu tapped on the ground with his tiptoes and appeared in front of the baby-faced man the next moment.
“I won’t let you run away!”
As he spoke, he reached out a hand to grab the man by the collar rudely and threw him in front of Lin Mengya, as if the man were a chicken.
“I… I don’t know! I don’t know anything… You may go on with your work. I’m going home!” the baby-faced man said, intending to leave, but Qinghu and Lin Mengya were not easy to fool.
How could Lin Mengya, who finally found a clue at this moment, let go of the person, who offered the clue?
She squatted down and said with a wicked smile on her mild face, “Well, you don’t have to run away in that case.”
Her amiable smile indicated that she had already regarded the baby-faced man in front of her as her prey.
Unfortunately, he did not realize what was going on and was obsessed with Lin Mengya’s beauty at this critical moment.
Great. As long as he fell into her trap, she would have a chance to get some clues out of him.
“Look, we’ve just met and are so congenial to each other. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you leave now? Why don’t you tell me where Gou San is? Then I’ll give you a chance to look at us closely. Do you agree?” Lin Mengya said in a soft and sweet voice, while looking at the baby-faced man with charming eyes.
Her words were as addictive as poppy, as a temptation from h.e.l.l.
Qinghu, who was standing behind the baby-faced man, folded his arms and looked around vigilantly, while keeping an eye on the guy sitting in front of him.
“I, I, I can’t do that. Gou San forbids me to tell where he is. My pretty, please let me go, or my Third Brother will kill me. Although I like you, I’ll lose everything if I die,” the baby-faced man pouted and said with an aggrieved look.
Lin Mengya hid the sparkle in her eyes and said with a regretful and distressed look, “But I really want to find Gou San. Sir, please help me, and I will present you with a grand reward. Besides, I promise that your Third Brother definitely will not kill you. Is that okay?”
From what the man had said just now, Lin Mengya, who was perceptive, could tell that he probably did that because he was unsophisticated.
Moreover, he had delicate features and was not dressed like a poor man. Therefore, Lin Mengya concluded that he should be a fool protected by his family.
Regarding his relationship with Gou San, even if they were not brothers, they should at least be close relatives.
Gou San’s claim to kill him was most likely a threat.
After all, if her whereabouts were known by this guy, who was obviously simple-minded, she probably would also be exasperated and threaten to kill him so that he could keep it a secret.
“No, no, no! My Third Brother said that he was definitely serious this time. Moreover, even if he doesn’t kill me, my Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister will teach me a lesson. My pretty, I’m sorry, but I really can’t help you,” the baby-faced man said and shook his head like a rattle drum with a dejected look.
She didn’t expect that this silly guy was quite principled.
Unfortunately, he met Lin Mengya, an expert in sounding out information, so he was destined to fail to keep his secret.
“Oh, what a pity. But sir, you seem to like beautiful women most, don’t you? What about the beautiful scenery?”
At the thought that the pretty woman in front of him had given up asking about Gou San’s whereabouts, the baby-faced man immediately raised his face, fixed his eyes on Lin Mengya, and nodded profusely.
He said, “Yes, I like them both! However, although the Capital City is very prosperous, there are very few places I can visit. I heard that the courtyard of Princess Yu is like a fairyland, which is rare around the world. I wanted to ask my Third Brother to take me there, but he refused. Humph, he bragged that Princess Yu was an old acquaintance of him! But he couldn’t even visit her courtyard. My Third Brother must be lying!”
Unexpectedly, she sounded out another clue.
Lin Mengya, who could hardly suppress her complacence, continued composedly trapping the naive man into a confession, “I’ve been there once. It’s said that even the paths in Princess Yu’s courtyard are paved with first-cla.s.s warm jade, which gives out colorful light under the sun!”
