The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Jiang Xing's helpless promise was seen in her eyes, but she had her own persistence and bottom line in her heart. She knew the importance of Zijing Villa to the world, and if she exposed it for personal gain, it would bring endless troubles and dangers. Therefore, although she sympathized with Jiang Xing, she still ruthlessly rejected his request.

At the same time, Jiang Bu also found nothing in his search for his elder brother. He dragged his tired body back to Liweilou every day. Seeing his condition, the shopkeeper stopped asking too many questions. After all, what would it matter even if he knew? It would only add to his troubles.

That day, Jiang Bu still couldn't find any trace of his elder brother. He returned to Liweilou exhausted, sat down on a chair in the lobby, and stared blankly at the bustling crowd outside the door. Thinking that his elder brother might be in trouble and suffering, he felt even more depressed. At this time, a little beggar appeared at the door. Shopkeeper Liu kindly gave him some leftovers from the guests, and the little beggar happily thanked the shopkeeper.

"Uncle Liu, thank you." The little beggar held the leftovers in his hand and looked at Manager Liu with gratitude on his face.

"Eat, Xiao Shuanzi. These are the cakes we have. Tell me if you don't have enough." Shopkeeper Liu touched Xiao Shuanzi's head lovingly, then turned and walked into the store to continue his work.

Xiao Shuanzi sat on a stone near the door, eating leftovers in big mouthfuls, mumbling, "Uncle Liu, have you heard? There are a few beggars in the south of the city who make a living by extortion. They specifically target big stores, so you better be careful."

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu smiled and asked, "Oh, how did you know?" In fact, he was not too worried that his restaurant would be blackmailed by those beggars, because their boss also knew some friends in the underworld, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

Xiao Shuanzi swallowed a mouthful of food and said proudly: "Uncle Liu, you forget that we are wandering beggars. We are the first to know about all the big and small things in this city!" He patted his chest as he spoke, as if he was very proud of being well-informed.

"Well, Uncle Liu believes it. Thank you, Xiao Shuanzi, for the reminder!" Shopkeeper Liu looked up at Xiao Shuanzi who was eating happily. This child was really pitiful.

Jiang Bu sat there, quietly listening to the conversation between Manager Liu and Xiao Shuanzi. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something important. So he walked quickly to the door and squatted down in front of Xiao Shuanzi. Xiao Shuanzi was eating with relish and didn't notice anyone approaching. When he raised his head, he suddenly found a person standing in front of him, and he was so scared that he almost choked.

Shopkeeper Liu also noticed his boss's actions, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly followed him out, looking at Jiang Bu worriedly.

“Boss, these are the leftovers from the guests. I thought they would be thrown away anyway, so…” Shopkeeper Liu was afraid that Jiang Bu would lose his temper, so he explained hurriedly.

When Xiao Shuanzi heard Uncle Liu say this, he felt nervous and realized that he might have caused trouble for Uncle Liu. He held the cake in his mouth and did not dare to chew it anymore. He looked nervously at the serious-looking young man in front of him. In fact, Jiang Bu was not really angry, but he was too busy these days and was in a bad mood, so he looked very serious.

After listening to Uncle Liu's words, Xiao Shuanzi realized that this person was the owner of the restaurant. He stammered, "I'm sorry, I, I, I..." He talked for a long time but couldn't make any sense. Jiang Bu also sat down.

"Your name is Xiaoshuanzi?" Jiang Bu asked him.

“Um…” Xiao Shuanzi replied.

After a while, Manager Liu brought out a roast chicken. Jiang Bu took it, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Shuanzi. Shuanzi looked at the chicken leg in Jiang Bu's hand, swallowed his saliva, wanting to eat it but being afraid.

"Here, eat it. I have something to ask you. This is my reward." Jiang Bu's reason was reasonable.

"Then I really ate it!" Xiao Shuanzi still didn't dare to believe it, but he couldn't resist the temptation of roast chicken.

"Eat. You just talked about what happened in South City. I want to know what's new in North City?" Jiang Bu no longer looked serious, but looked very curious and gossipy.

"I don't like anything else but joining in the fun and listening to gossip."

"Then you have found the right person. Let me tell you, an interesting thing happened in Guihua Lane in North City," Xiao Shuanzi talked about the interesting things in North City. Later, Jiang Bu asked about some other things, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Xiao Shuanzi, can you do me a favor?" Jiang Bu said to Xiao Shuanzi very politely, which made Xiao Shuanzi a little at a loss. After all, in his opinion, he was just a poor boy. It was the first time he met such a noble man.

Xiao Shuanzi scratched his head nervously and replied, "Master, please tell me." But he was thinking in his heart that since he had eaten someone else's food, he should do something to repay him.

Seeing that Xiao Shuanzi agreed, Jiang Bu continued, "I have a brother who spooked the horse while riding, so he accidentally fell off a cliff. I have searched for several days but there is no news. Can you help me find out about him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shuanzi's eyes widened, and an indescribable shock and fear surged in his heart. He didn't expect that this nobleman actually had a brother who had suffered such an unfortunate thing. At the same time, he also realized that this incident might bring some trouble to himself, but looking at the sincere and earnest eyes of the nobleman in front of him, Xiao Shuanzi felt that he could not refuse. So he nodded and expressed his willingness to help find out.

"Of course, don't worry about this... uh. noble man." Xiao Shuanzi said.

"You can call me Brother Jiang. If you can help me get some information, I will reward you handsomely," Jiang Bu said. He knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and that if he wanted to get useful information, he had to pay a certain price.

"You can also mobilize your trusted friends to help. Don't worry, if there is any news, I will reward each of them." Jiang Bu continued.

"I can help you find out, but I can't guarantee it." Xiao Shuanzi, who had just made a solemn promise to Manager Liu, was now a little hesitant to promise too much. After all, he was just a child with limited abilities. It would be bad if he promised others that he couldn't do it.

"It's okay, just go and ask. But be careful. If you need anything, you can go directly to Manager Liu." Jiang Bu pointed at Manager Liu, who listened to the whole process. To be honest, he really admired their boss. He actually thought of asking the beggars in the city to help find out the news. It was really smart.
