Chapter 27 Junk

It took a long time for the door to open from the inside, and a man wearing old pajamas, with long hair and a face full of stubble, appeared at the doorway.

Upon seeing Guo Zongbao and Mu Lingyun, a flash of surprise passed through the man's eyes.

Soon, he resumed his lazy demeanor, "Zongbao, you actually brought her here? Why bother?"

After saying that, he turned around and went back inside, and of course, he didn't close the door.

Guo Zongbao turned around and said to Mu Lingyun, "Miss Mu, why don't you wait at the door for a bit before coming in? I'll help him clean up!"

Mu Lingyun shook her head and stepped into the house.

What greeted her was the smell of tobacco and alcohol, mixing together in an extremely stifling and unpleasant way.

Then there were cigarette butts and liquor bottles all over the floor, in a room of just a few dozen square meters, with no space to even set foot.

Mu Lingyun frowned.

She hadn't expected that this man had let himself go to such an extent.

"Miss, if you can't tolerate it, why bother coming here with pretenses? I'm really curious, what do you want with a worthless man like me?" Zhai Yuewen turned around, looked at Mu Lingyun, and spoke sarcastically.

"I like to do charity, is that a problem?" Mu Lingyun replied, her lips curling slowly.

Zhai Yuewen: ...

Mu Lingyun surveyed the room for a week and decided not to go in after all.

"Tsk tsk... People can actually live in this house, you really are something. What's the difference between living here and next to a sewage pit?" Mu Lingyun said critically.

Zhai Yuewen: ...

Guo Zongbao: ...

Mis, are you sure you're here to recruit him as an agent?

"I really don't understand, why have you let yourself become like this, exactly?" Mu Lingyun said slowly, arms crossed, "Is it to please Li Xianghong and Lin Shuo? Li Xianghong and Lin Shuo live in upscale apartments, clean, orderly, with beautiful surroundings, good security, and great privacy... If they knew you were living in a... um... pigsty, they'd certainly be thrilled."

"You..." Zhai Yuewen was very displeased.

It had been a long time since anyone had dared to mention those two names in front of him.

Mu Lingyun did not care whether he was happy or not, and continued to speak, "Your current life really hasn't let down the expectations of Li Xianghong and Lin Shuo. They conspired against you with the goal of making you into the rubbish you are now, haven't they? I want to interview you, how do you feel living up to the hopes of these scum?"

"You... shut up!" Zhai Yuewen was somewhat furiously ashamed as he clenched his fists.

"Oh, angry now?" Mu Lingyun said with a smile brimming with meaning, "I'm not even done yet. I also want to ask you, how does it feel to want to help others, only to have them turn and bite you? To end up powerless to defend yourself and change your slandered situation, and to live as a wastrel, what is that like?"

Zhai Yuewen ground his teeth, "Don't think that just because you're a girl, I won't hit you!"

Guo Zongbao: ...

Mis, you better shut up. If this continues, we won't get him to agree, and you might just get beaten up.

And Yuewen, you better calm down a bit. This is the mis personally assigned by the higher-ups. Although I don't know her exact status, she's definitely not someone we can afford to offend.

Mu Lingyun, however, scoffed disdainfully, "You, a washed-up has-been, think you can hit me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yuewen became furious, suddenly raising his fist and throwing a punch at Mu Lingyun.

"Yuewen, stop!" Guo Zongbao, seeing this, was nearly scared to death.

He wanted to intervene but it was too late.

Zhai Yuewen's fist was about to hit Mu Lingyun.
