“But they say that you're quite close to the woman. How is it possible that you don't know?”

With a flick of Ruan Anxi's hand, a slit appeared on Li Xiaolong's pants.

“Do you want to know how eunuchs were castrated in the past? I happen to master the art of castration. Would you like to try it?” Ruan Anxi asked.

Beads of nervous sweat dotted Li Xiaolong's forehead. “No, no. Please, I don't want to be a eunuch. Let me think. I'll recite all the names of the women I know with the surname Lu!”

“Go ahead.”

Then, Li Xiaolong uttered over a dozen of names with the surname Lu.

The problem was, Ruan Anxi wouldn't recognize the name of the woman that he was looking for.

“Among these women with the surname Lu, who has two children?” Ruan Anxi couldn't think of any other way to ask him.

“Let me think. I think none of them have children,” Li Xiaolong said weakly.

“I'm looking for someone with children. A pretty woman with children, and she had gone missing a few days ago,” Ruan Anxi explained.

“Missing? None of the women I mentioned are missing. Some of them even had fun with me just last night,” Li Xiaolong said.

“Think harder. This woman is no ordinary woman. She's really special. Among those Lu women you know, who is the most extraordinary?”

Li Xiaolong was forced to reconsider and finally said, “Well, if I really have to mention one, it'll have to be Lu Jingyuan. She's really one of a kind. I heard that she's really rich, and she's quite pretty as well. Right, I also heard rumors of her having children, but I don't know for sure, because I've never seen them.”

“Lu Jingyuan? Does she have a mansion?”

Ruan Anxi reckoned that she was the woman whom he was looking for.

“Yes. She has a mansion. I've had a few exchanges with her, and I unluckily got the shorter end of the stick,” Li Xiaolong lamented.

“Give me her address,” Ruan Anxi snapped.
