My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

"Come on, Brother Su, the dishes here were originally specially supplied to the emperor. Every dish is of the highest quality. Just order whatever you like. Don't worry about saving money for your brother."

Don't be fooled by the fancy names of the dishes here; the prices aren't actually that high. Aside from some of the more expensive delicacies, most of the ordinary dishes cost only a few hundred to a thousand yuan.

"Brother Qian, I don't know which dishes are good either. Just look at this much. The most important thing is to order more, because I have a big appetite."

"Uncle Qian, let me order!"

Qian Yutang didn't understand what Su Muchen meant by "a big appetite," but Liu Ziyan did, so she offered to order.

Qian Yutang handed the menu to Liu Ziyan. At first, he didn't think anything was wrong, but as Liu Ziyan ordered more than a dozen dishes without stopping, Qian Yutang became a little anxious.

"Niece, you've ordered a bit too much. It's not that your uncle is stingy, it's just that there are only three of us, and you've ordered almost twenty dishes. How can we possibly finish all of this?"

"Uncle Qian, don't worry, your niece didn't order too much. You'll see when the food is served."

Although Qian Yutang didn't understand Liu Ziyan's meaning, he didn't say anything more since he had already made the order.

About ten minutes later, the dishes that Liu Ziyan had ordered started to arrive. At this moment, Qian Yutang's phone rang. He went out to answer the call, and after about five minutes, when he returned to the private room, Qian Yutang finally understood why Liu Ziyan had ordered so many dishes.

"Brother Su, is this what you mean by having a big appetite? You don't just have a big appetite, you're practically a glutton."

In the five minutes it took to answer the phone, ten dishes were served in the private room, but now all the plates were empty. If it weren't for the sauce still on the plates and the pile of bones in front of Su Muchen, Qian Yutang would have even suspected that the restaurant had served empty plates.

"Uncle Qian, now you know why I ordered so many dishes. I'm worried that the two of us won't have enough to eat."

Alright, let's continue ordering. Qian Yutang asked the waiter to add ten more dishes, and in the end, the three of them ordered a total of twenty-eight dishes.

But just as Liu Ziyan said, Qian Yutang and she only ate until they were half full. Of the twenty-eight dishes, they didn't even get to taste at least twenty-five of them. If Liu Ziyan hadn't taken precautions in advance and quickly stopped the waiter from serving three dishes in front of them, they probably wouldn't have even been able to eat until they were half full.

Besides Qian Yutang being shocked by Su Muchen's appetite, even the waiters who served the dishes were dumbfounded. As soon as each dish was served, before the waiters had even left the private room, Su Muchen quickly stuffed it all into his mouth and swallowed it directly without even chewing it.

Su Muchen's stomach was like a bottomless pit; despite eating so much food, it didn't feel bloated at all.

Even the chefs in the restaurant's kitchen were puzzled as to how many people had come to the private room and ordered more than twenty dishes, keeping them extremely busy.

When the bill finally came, the meal cost nearly 200,000 yuan, leaving the cashier completely dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that such a long bill was actually paid by just three people.

Under the strange looks from the hotel staff, Qian Yutang and Liu Ziyan fled the hotel as if they were escaping, pulling Su Muchen with them.

……

On the highway back to Nanjiang City, Liu Ziyan was still driving, while Su Muchen sat in the passenger seat fiddling with Liu Ziyan's phone.

Qian Yutang did not ride in the same car as the two. He had his own chauffeur and was accompanied by bodyguards. Qian Yutang's bodyguard was also a martial artist with considerable strength, having reached the late stage of martial arts master. Even if ten special forces soldiers attacked together, they might not be able to harm him in the slightest.

In addition, Qian Yutang did not go to Nanjiang City with Su Muchen and the others, because he had to escort the raw stones that Su Muchen had won at the auction. Qian Yutang personally escorted the batch of raw stones with bodyguards.

Just as Su Muchen and his companion were about to enter Nanjiang City, Liu Ziyan's phone rang. It was a temporary SIM card she had just gotten, and only one person knew the number: her best friend.

"Sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you calling me at this hour? Is there something you need?"

"Yanyan, something terrible has happened! Xiaohao has been kidnapped! Waaah..."

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Ziyan was so frightened that she almost hit the curb with her car. Fortunately, she quickly steered the car back, thus avoiding an accident.

To avoid another mishap, Liu Ziyan quickly pulled the car over to the emergency lane.

"Sweetie, don't cry. What happened? Isn't Xiaohao at your house? Who was so bold as to kidnap Xiaohao from the mayor's house?"

"Waaah... Yan Yan, I'm so sorry. I was just being greedy and took Xiao Hao out to get something to eat. But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Hao was gone! Later, I asked some passersby and found out that Xiao Hao had been kidnapped by a masked man. Yan Yan, what are we going to do? Waaah..."

"Sweetie, calm down. Have you told your uncle about this? With your uncle's help, we should be able to find Xiaohao's whereabouts soon. Also, don't blame yourself too much. I should be able to figure out who kidnapped Xiaohao."

"I've already told my dad, and he's mobilized the police force. The whole city is searching for Xiaohao's whereabouts, and we should have news soon."

"Sweetie, here's what we'll do: if Uncle finds out where Xiaohao is, don't alert him yet. I'll go back to Nanjiang City right away and then meet up with you."

"Okay, Yan Yan, I'll wait for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Ziyan looked worried.

"Miss Liu, don't worry. I think Xiao Hao was kidnapped by your uncle's men. You know why. Xiao Hao will be fine."

Su Muchen patted Liu Ziyan on the shoulder to reassure her not to worry too much.

"That's right, it's obvious without even guessing that Xiao Hao must have been kidnapped by my uncle. But Xiao Hao is still so young, won't this scare him?"

"Don't worry, with me here, Xiao Hao will be fine. Can I borrow a strand of your hair?"

After Su Muchen finished speaking, he quickly plucked a strand of Liu Ziyan's hair, placed it in his palm, closed his eyes, and mumbled something.

Just three to five seconds later, Su Muchen opened his eyes, and as he did so, a golden light flashed from them.

"Let's go, I already know where Xiao Hao is. You drive, I'll give you directions."

Although Liu Ziyan didn't understand why Su Muchen knew her brother's location just from a single strand of her hair, she was too anxious to care about that now and stepped on the gas, darting the car out of the emergency lane.

Guided by Su Muchen, the two quickly exited the highway and spent nearly half an hour arriving at the outskirts of Nanjiang City.

They didn't stop until they reached the intersection of a somewhat dilapidated village. Su Muchen then asked Liu Ziyan to stop the car.

"Xiao Hao is in the village ahead. Wait for me in the car, I'll go and bring Xiao Hao out."

Before Liu Ziyan could reply, Su Muchen opened the car door and got out. Then, like a ghost, he vanished in front of Liu Ziyan.

Although she knew that Su Muchen was a martial artist and a very powerful one, Liu Ziyan was still startled by Su Muchen's sudden disappearance.

However, it was precisely this skill that Su Muchen revealed that reassured Liu Ziyan even more. With Su Muchen around, her younger brother would definitely be safe.

Inside a dilapidated brick house in the village, Liu Zihao lay on a wooden bed as if asleep.

In the living room, a burly man was sitting in a chair smoking. If Liu Ziyan were here, she would recognize him at a glance. He was her father's former bodyguard, and now her uncle's bodyguard, A Biao.

Liu Zihao was kidnapped by A Biao. Just now, A Biao received a call from Liu Xianghong, who tasked him with guarding Liu Zihao until the shareholders' meeting ended tomorrow.
