So, Mo Lin added Feng Mingyu as a friend.
Feng Mingyu: "(*^▽^*)"
Mo Lin: "Hello, I'm looking for a ghost, a ghost child."
Feng Mingyu: "Do you have any specific information?"
Mo Lin: "A ghost child was captured these past few days."
Feng Mingyu: "Come to Wanlin KTV tonight, I'll take you to find it."
"Okay."
From their conversation, Mo Lin felt that Feng Mingyu seemed to have a lot of connections.
When Mo Lin got home, it was already after 7 p.m.
Li Xue appeared next to Mo Lin.
"My lord… Someone snuck in after you left." Li Xue reported truthfully to Mo Lin.
"How many people? Do you know who it was?" Mo Lin was very curious about who came.
What was their purpose?
"I left a trace on them. Do you want me to check it out for you?" Li Xue asked Mo Lin respectfully.
"Go check who it was, but be careful, and if they're connected to the Ghost Realm, prioritize your own safety." Mo Lin reminded Li Xue.
"Okay." Li Xue nodded and then left.
During the day he couldn't leave the building, so he didn't investigate their identity.
Now that it's evening, he could move freely and could investigate who it was.
Mo Lin quickly tidied up and drove to Wanlin KTV to find Feng Mingyu.
There were many luxury cars parked at the entrance of Wanlin KTV, and there was a staff member at the door to receive guests.
Mo Lin walked into Wanlin KTV and sent a message to Feng Mingyu while standing in the lobby.
"I'm in the lobby, where are you?"
Feng Mingyu: "Wait a moment... I'll be there."
Mo Lin sat on a chair, waiting for Feng Mingyu to arrive.
About two minutes passed.
"Are you Mo Lin?"
Mo Lin looked up and saw a flamboyantly dressed woman standing in front of him.
The woman had braided dreadlocks dyed blue, wore earrings, a flashy short-sleeved shirt, and had bracelets on her wrists.
Her makeup was smoky, with heavy eyeshadow.
She wore black shorts and black stockings...
"What's up? Is there a problem with my outfit?" Feng Mingyu asked Mo Lin, puzzled.
"No, it's fine." Mo Lin quickly diverted his gaze from Feng Mingyu.
Feng Mingyu sat casually next to Mo Lin, crossing her legs.
"Can you help me find that ghost child?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu, puzzled.
"You've come to the right person for this."
Feng Mingyu said confidently, "As long as it's in Yun Chuan, there's no one I can't find, nothing I can't track."
Mo Lin's eyes lit up, "That's impressive."
"Of course, to be honest, even the information from the Ghost-Controlling Society can't match mine." Feng Mingyu said with some pride.
Before Mo Lin could say anything, Feng Mingyu continued.
"You're new, so you don't know... We Ghost-Controlling Masters have our own circles, like... the black market."
Mo Lin had heard of the black market, but this term usually appeared in movies.
"Did you bring the Netherworld Currency?" Feng Mingyu asked Mo Lin.
"I did." Mo Lin nodded and replied.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the black market for a look..." Feng Mingyu said, getting up and leading Mo Lin away.
Feng Mingyu went to the front desk and flashed a card to the KTV staff.
The staff nodded and pushed open a hidden door.
This door was very discreetly designed, and Mo Lin wouldn't even have known it was there if the staff hadn't opened it.
Feng Mingyu led Mo Lin through the door, which led to a staircase going underground.
"The card I just used is a black market membership card. Without it, you can't enter the black market, and the staff won't open the door for you." Feng Mingyu explained to Mo Lin.
"How do you get a membership card?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu, puzzled.
"You buy it with Netherworld Currency, or trade other items for it. It's very expensive, worth ten thousand Netherworld Currency."
Feng Mingyu spent a lot of effort to get the black market membership card.
"There are four Wanhai KTVs in Yun Chuan City. Each has a black market entrance."
After walking about two minutes down the stairs, they arrived at an iron door.
Feng Mingyu placed a black card on the iron door.
"Ding!"
The iron door lit up with a green light, and the heavy door slowly opened.
Mo Lin glanced at the door, which was at least twenty centimeters thick, making it difficult for ordinary people to move.
They walked through the iron door, revealing another scene.
Dim lights shone on the floor.
There was a passageway about thirty meters wide.
In the corners, there stood some strangers with their faces covered.
A particularly unpleasant fishy odor could be smelled.
"Speak less, stir less trouble."
Upon arriving here, Feng Mingyu's expression visibly tensed, even her speaking tone became steady.
The previous carefree feeling was gone.
"There's no good person here," Feng Mingyu reminded again.
The black market usually dealt in shady businesses.
Law didn't apply here, and if you died,
you would just be dead... They might not even find your body.
"Where are we heading now?" Mo Lin asked Feng Mingyu.
"I'll take you to my uncle, he's incredibly informed, anything happening in Yun Chuan, he'll know about it."
Feng Mingyu led Mo Lin forward.
Mo Lin noticed that this was just one main road, with some side paths around whose destinations were unknown.
As Mo Lin walked normally, a man with a covered face walked toward him; it was unclear whether it was intentional or not, but the man brushed against Mo Lin's arm.
With such a wide path, to collide with him, Mo Lin found it very frustrating.
Suddenly, Mo Lin realized and quickly checked his pocket, discovering that the ten thousand Netherworld Currency he carried was gone.
No need to think, it was definitely stolen by that person just now.
The person must be a seasoned pickpocket, so skillful that just brushing by, they stole his Netherworld Currency.
"What's wrong?" Feng Mingyu asked, puzzled, when she saw Mo Lin stop.
"My Netherworld Currency was stolen."
Looking in the direction the thief had fled, Mo Lin whispered, "I'm going to get it back."
If it were just a few hundred Netherworld Currency, Mo Lin wouldn't be so concerned.
But the issue was, he lost ten thousand Netherworld Currency.
This amount was not insignificant, even for a large family.
Feng Mingyu was troubled, since it was the black market after all.
When something was lost here, it was like a stone sinking in the ocean, very difficult to retrieve.
"Why not... just let it go?" Feng Mingyu said softly.
"No way, I'm going after him." With those words, Mo Lin ran in the direction the thief disappeared.
Feng Mingyu worriedly chased after Mo Lin.
"Hey... don't chase, a thief daring to steal here must have someone backing them, your Netherworld Currency won't be retrieved." Feng Mingyu kindly advised Mo Lin.
No ordinary person would dare steal in the black market without some serious backup.
Since the thief dared to steal, they definitely weren't afraid of Mo Lin catching up.
Mo Lin seemed not to have heard Feng Mingyu's advice and continued straight ahead.
Afraid of something happening, Feng Mingyu stuck close behind Mo Lin.
The black market's street arrangement wasn't complicated, consisting of a main road and two side roads.
The thief had just run along one of the side roads.
Closely following, Mo Lin passed a junction and saw the black figure dart into a small house.
Mo Lin quickly reached the entrance of this small house.
It had two rooms, a main hall, and a side hall.
Estimating over two hundred square meters, the main hall had a group of people gathered, whispering about something.
Upon seeing Mo Lin appear, they all restrained their smiles and glared at him fiercely.
These people looked fierce, obviously not easy to provoke.
Mo Lin saw the earlier thief boldly sitting at the far end of the main hall, legs crossed, right hand swinging what should have been his ten thousand Netherworld Currency.
The thief even made a contempt gesture at Mo Lin.
He wasn't afraid in the slightest of Mo Lin coming to reclaim the money.
