【Law of the Abyss】
Chapter 25 Leiming Inn
The head of the Lei family is getting married tomorrow. Lei Tingfeng, the owner of the Leiming Inn, is sitting in the inn, smiling from ear to ear.
He had heard from his superiors that Lei Yiming, the patriarch of the Lei family, was young, promising and kind, and that after his marriage he would officially take over all the Lei family's businesses and would promote a group of people to help with management.
Lei Tingfeng has been the innkeeper of Leiming Inn for many years. He has put a lot of effort into expanding it from a small shop with only a few rooms to a well-known inn. The higher-ups said that his name will be put forward this year, so promotion is a sure thing.
This inevitably had a taste of sweet after bitterness. He sat on the recliner, closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, hummed a little tune, and looked forward to the better life after the promotion.
A hoarse bird call broke his fantasy. He was a little annoyed. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw two young men walking in one after another.
"Are you two staying in the hotel or stopping by for a night?" Lei Tingfeng stood up and came forward, his smile neither humble nor arrogant, giving people an inexplicable sense of trust.
"Call your shopkeeper out." Lei Yinuo said.
"I'm Lei Tingfeng, the shopkeeper here. I wonder what you two want to see me about?" Lei Tingfeng hurriedly poured two cups of tea and handed them to them.
Mu Bei took the tea and held it in his hand. He looked at Lei Tingfeng and said, "Manager Lei, have you ever seen a young man with an injured right hand?"
Lei Tingfeng's smile faded slightly, and the enthusiasm in his eyes faded halfway. He said cautiously: "Sorry, both of you, it is the rule of our restaurant that we cannot disclose the privacy of our guests."
"Manager Lei, don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions. That man is my friend. Last time he told me to wait for me here, so I only had time to come here today." Mu Bei explained.
Lei Tingfeng glanced at them and smiled faintly, "Since we are friends, it's fine. What's your friend's name? What day did he come? What's his room number? I'll help you find it."
Mu Bei glanced at Lei Yinuo. He didn't expect that this shopkeeper had such professional ethics. But how could he know when Feng Yihang came? And which room did he stay in? You know, he had already gone to find it himself.
Seeing that the two men were silent, Lei Tingfeng naturally understood everything. He had seen too many examples of people who pretended to be friends but were actually seeking revenge, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
He smiled at the two of them and said, "Why don't you stay here for a night? You might run into your friends."
Mu Bei looked at Lei Yinuo with a bit of embarrassment, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: Young Master, it's up to you.
Lei Yinuo nodded and took out a black token from his body. Lei Tingfeng took a look and his pupils trembled. It turned out to be the Xuan Lei Token. There were only a handful of people in the entire Lei family who possessed the Xuan Lei Token.
He hurriedly said, "You two, please follow me."
He took the two of them to a private room, which was reserved for people of status. It was large, decorated in a simple and luxurious style, and extremely private.
"Please wait a moment, both of you." After saying that, he went out, and soon came back with a booklet in his hand, which he placed in front of Lei Yinuo.
"This is the in and out record of all the staff in our store this month. Check to see if you can find the friend you are looking for."
Lei Yinuo signaled Mu Bei to look for it himself. Mu Bei took the booklet and began to flip through it. He flipped through it for a while and stopped. He pointed to a place on it and said, "Manager Lei, where did this person named Xing Yifeng go? Why did we only see him check in, but no follow-up?"
Lei Tingfeng stepped forward and took a look. His face turned pale and he said, "This..."
"What's going on?" Lei Yinuo looked at him.
Lei Tingfeng sighed and said, "This is a long story."
"Then let's make a long story short."
"He...is gone."
Mu Bei suddenly jumped up: "Why would he disappear? How could a good person just disappear like that?"
"That's exactly what you said, but he... just disappeared."
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Lei Tingfeng said, "His room is upstairs. I'll take you there and you'll know."
Mu Bei and Lei Yinuo looked at each other and came to Xing Yifeng's room.
"Has anything inside been moved?" Mu Bei asked.
"No, absolutely not. I didn't even let the cleaner in. This guest was very generous and paid a month's fee right away, so I didn't take it seriously at first. I thought he was out on business, but I didn't expect him to stay for three nights and I never saw him again."
"Three nights? Do you remember that someone came to see him in the middle?" Mu Bei asked.
Lei Tingfeng shook his head: "No one came to see him, but..."
"But what's wrong?" Mu Bei asked.
Lei Tingfeng glanced at him and whispered, "On the third night, he brought back a woman."
Mu Bei's eyes lit up. That person must be Feng Yelan.
"What kind of woman?" Mu Bei asked.
"The woman in red is very beautiful. They seem to be in a bad mood. Your friend has been coaxing her. I thought they... do you understand?"
Mu Bei came back to his senses and understood what the other party meant. He felt a little embarrassed and finally asked, "Is that person's right hand injured?"
Lei Tingfeng said: "Probably not, his hands look quite normal."
Could it be him? Mu Bei was puzzled, and Lei Tingfeng left when he saw that he had nothing to ask.
Lei Yinuo didn't expect things to be like this. Looking at Mu Bei's reaction, he didn't seem to be lying. He seemed quite worried about his friend.
"Forget it, let's just assume you didn't lie to me. You don't have to worry too much. This is the Lei family's territory." Lei Yinuo added: "Maybe your friend just happened to go out for something. It's useless for you to wait here. Why don't you go back to the Lei family first? I'll ask someone to help you look for him."
Mu Bei thought about it and felt that Lei Yinuo's suggestion was pertinent. Lei Yinuo instructed Lei Tingfeng to notify them immediately if Xing Yifeng came back.
Mu Bei sat on the Black Falcon, his mind in a mess. He was worried that the man was not Feng Yixing, then he was worried whether Feng Yelan was okay, and then he was worried that he would leave the Lei family tomorrow but hadn't got the Lei Mingzhu yet.
Lei Yinuo saw that his expression was ever-changing, but he didn't look happy, so he couldn't help but say: "You are a grown man, don't act like a little wife all day long, with a stern face, it's ugly."
Mu Bei tried hard to force a smile. Yes, things would always be solved. There was no point in thinking so much, so he just stopped thinking about it.
Seeing that his complexion was better, Lei Yinuo was in a better mood as well: "I don't know why, but I always feel that my brother is a little strange recently."
Mu Bei raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Forget it. Why am I telling you all this?" Lei Yinuo was angry and flew away on the black falcon.
Mu Bei chased after him, "Don't say half the words, you're keeping me in suspense. What's so strange about him?"
Lei Yinuo felt happier when he saw him catching up, and said, "My brother won't fight with me anymore."
Mu Bei's face cracked. This brother's train of thought was really weird.
"No, the fighting I'm talking about is not what you think. It's just two people feeding each other moves to see if the other has improved." Lei Yinuo explained.
Mu Bei suddenly realized and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Does this guy know how to speak?
"You know, I just cultivated the Nine Heavens Thunder Method to the seventh level, and my brother has cultivated it to the eighth level. Logically, he should be much stronger than me, but I actually hit him with one palm last time, and he never fought with me again after that. I suspect he was injured? But I can't figure out why he was injured?"
"Are you so confident telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I might have bad intentions?" Mu Bei blurted out.
Lei Yinuo was stunned. He realized how reckless his behavior was. He said this to someone he had just met. He looked at him nervously: "Will you do it?"
Mu Bei certainly wouldn't. As a well-behaved young man who grew up under the red flag, even though his life was not so smooth, he still had the pursuit and yearning for good qualities in his heart, and he still had this awareness.
Seeing that he didn't speak, a hint of hesitation and determination flashed across Lei Yinuo's face: "It doesn't matter, you know, the dead can't speak, if..." The ruthlessness inadvertently revealed in his eyes made Mu Bei shudder.
He said decisively: "No ifs, I promise."
Lei Yinuo smiled, with an innocent look on his face: "I know you won't."
Mu Bei felt uneasy. Wasn't this person's mood changing too quickly?
"My brother is the most important person to me. I cannot lose him, and I will never allow anyone to hurt him!"
