Chapter 1302: Chapter 1372: Searching for Someone by Portrait
He understood clearly in his heart that only by finding Sheng Ning could he get rid of that bitch Qin Cuifen.
However, he did not expect that after more than a month, Housekeeper Xing would come knocking on his door again.
Looking at the grand Feng Manor, he had to handle things with extreme caution. Last time, it cost him a hand, who knows what might happen this time? Passing through the gate, it was clear that the Feng Family wasn’t invincible in Country M, as there were plenty of local super-rich people.
Once outside, no matter what, he needed to find a powerful backer.
"Mr. Julian, we meet again." Housekeeper Xing, dressed in a tuxedo, smiled as he stood on the steps looking at the disheveled Julian.
"Hello, Housekeeper Xing." Julian bowed respectfully.
Housekeeper Xing gestured to a servant, who nodded and withdrew.
"Today our estate is hosting a birthday party, and we specially invited you to attend." Housekeeper Xing always maintained a composed expression, gentle and courteous.
Even when cutting off your hand, he maintained this expression.
The more Julian heard him speak like this, the more frightened he became, yet he dared not show it, forcing a stiff smile as he expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, it’s my honor."
"You’re welcome, please come inside!" Housekeeper Xing gestured for him to enter, leading the way as he spoke, "I heard you’ve been looking for someone lately. How’s that going?"
Julian was startled, his whole body tensed with nerves, "Still... still haven’t found them."
"Oh, it must be rather difficult to find," Housekeeper Xing said nonchalantly, "Why don’t you leave a drawing? I can help you look for them." Over the past month, Housekeeper Xing had been investigating the clues, even sending people to monitor Julian, yet they hadn’t gotten anywhere.
The old gentleman’s urgency left him with no choice but to start with Julian. They couldn’t find the person mainly because they didn’t know what the owner of Mithril looked like.
But this fool Julian knew the appearance but couldn’t locate the person, so in the end, he had to come in person.
"Yes, yes, I can’t draw, so I’ll have to trouble you." This wasn’t helping him find someone; it was clear they already knew something.
"No need for thanks! Just a small favor."
Housekeeper Xing had already arranged for an artist and brought Julian into his study, and in just half an hour, they produced an image based on his description: the nose, eyes, mouth, and other facial features.
As well as height, hair, and so on.
The final product looked remarkably similar to Sheng Ning, about seventy to eighty percent alike.
"Is this the person you’re looking for?" Housekeeper Xing looked at the portrait, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
"Yes... yes..." Julian nodded and then shook his head, "Now it’s the person you’re looking for."
Housekeeper Xing rolled up the portrait, holding it in his hand, glancing at him with a faint smile, "You’re a smart man, so I’ll let you keep your life for now, but you mustn’t scheme after this person again."
"I won’t look for them anymore, definitely not," Julian repeatedly waved his hand.
"Very good, today one of our distinguished guests is celebrating a birthday, and a grand party is being held in the main house. You will attend before leaving."
"As you say," Julian lowered his head, filled with doubt.
He truly couldn’t understand what Housekeeper Xing meant. Threatening him, cutting off his hand, and now inviting him to a party?
Filled with doubt, Julian went to the main house’s banquet hall, where he saw numerous super-rich individuals from Country M, and he was so stunned he could hardly close his mouth. But when he saw Qin Cuifen in the center surrounded by many men, he was so furious he almost wanted to go up and slash her to death.
