Xu Mu Can't Take It Anymore

Xu Mu remembered that Jin Mo was the second son of the Jin family in the Central Plains. Since the Jin family was considered a hidden family in the Central Plains, perhaps he knew something.

"Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Today, Jin Mo was not wearing his Cleaner uniform. He was just wearing a very ordinary tracksuit with a black backpack on his back.

Combined with his delicate face and his personality of always keeping his head down and not daring to look at people.

He gave off the impression of a recently graduated college student who knew nothing about the world.

"Old Chen, Guoguo, let me introduce you. This is Jin Mo. He is a Cleaner, and also the captain ranked third."

Xu Mu introduced him to the two.

"Holy crap! That's fierce, the third captain?"

Chen Xuan was full of surprise.

Beside him, Tong Guoguo was also astonished. This person's temperament didn't look like an expert at all.

She didn't expect him to actually be the third captain.

She had heard Wang Hun say before that those who could become Cleaner captains were all dragons among men, with limitless futures.

"Not at all, it's just good luck."

Jin Mo hurriedly waved his hands.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Mu asked curiously.

"My home is right on the edge of the county town. I came home on leave this time because my family said they wanted to discuss something with me."

Jin Mo explained to Xu Mu.

"Have you eaten? Why don't you have something to eat here?"

Xu Mu invited with a smile.

"No need, I already ate on the way."

Jin Mo waved his hand.

"Sit down, I happen to have a favor to ask of you."

Xu Mu knew Jin Mo's personality and knew he definitely wouldn't agree, so he directly grabbed Jin Mo's arm and made him sit down.

He also ordered a portion of rice noodles for him and bought two grilled sausages. After giving him one, he handed the remaining one to Tong Guoguo.

"The last one for today."

"Xu Mu, you're a real friend."

Tong Guoguo revealed a shallow smile.

"Brother Xu, what's the matter?"

Jin Mo glanced at Xu Mu curiously, then immediately shifted his eyes away.

Xu Mu took out his phone and opened the map he had taken a picture of. "Do you know where this circled location on the map is?"

"This river should be the nearby Yellow River, but as for this area, I don't know."

Jin Mo looked at the phone and said, "Maybe my grandfather knows."

"Is it convenient for us to go to your house? I want to ask your grandfather."

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"Of course."

Jin Mo nodded.

...

The group waited here until Jin Mo finished eating, then drove together to the Jin family's home.

Arriving outside the county town, there was an estate here. Behind the estate was the Taihang Mountain Range.

Xu Mu parked the car in the parking spot outside the gate, then walked into the estate together with Jin Mo.

"The Second Young Master has returned."

The security guard at the door smiled and greeted Jin Mo upon seeing him.

"Yes, I took some time off specifically to come home and take a look."

Jin Mo said with a smile.

With Jin Mo leading the way, the security guard didn't ask about the identities of Xu Mu and the others.

Walking all the way inside, they found a villa here, but no one lived inside the villa.

There were only sofas and tables around. On the side of the villa, there was a staircase leading downwards.

Jin Mo explained from the side, "The main members of our family all live inside the ruins. The hall here is only used to receive ordinary guests."

"I didn't expect the Jin family to have ruins. This is much stronger than ordinary hidden families."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

He was just wondering earlier why a dignified hidden family would live in an estate about the same size as the Xu family's estate.

He didn't expect that they actually all lived inside the ruins.

"Just good luck. This piece of land happens to have ruins."

As Jin Mo spoke, they had already followed the stairs down to the inside of the ruins.

The area inside the ruins was not large. One could see the edge at a glance, and it was about the size of an ordinary village.

However, since only the members of the Jin family lived here, it was more than enough.

"Jin Mo, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you for ages! Come quickly!"

Just then, a young woman of about seventeen or eighteen walked over from a distance.

She was about the same age as Ye Yu, but had a slender and graceful figure. She wore a beige dress and had her hair tied in a single ponytail.

Her face shape was not bad. The only flaw was that her eyes were a bit small, but overall, she was still considered an above-average-looking woman.

However, her tone didn't sound like she was acting spoiled; instead, it carried a somewhat commanding air.

Through the Eye of God, Xu Mu checked this person's identity.

Name: Jin Xiaoxiao

Character: Third daughter of the Jin family in the Central Plains

Favorability: 0

Destiny Level: 2 (Max Level 10)

Seeing this information, Xu Mu immediately knew who she was.

She was Jin Mo's younger sister, but she was born to the legal wife, so she had never respected Jin Mo as her older brother.

"Xiaoxiao, why did our dad ask me to come back?"

Jin Mo walked over and asked.

"They are all waiting for you over there. You'll know when you go over."

After Jin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked curiously at Xu Mu and the others. "Who are they?"

"Oh, they are my friends. This Brother Xu even saved my life before."

Jin Mo specifically introduced Xu Mu.

"Ugh! Whatever, just come with me together!"

Jin Xiaoxiao turned her head and led the way in front.

After walking for about a few minutes, they arrived by the side of a mountain.

The stone wall next to it was covered with creepers, and there were several stools made of tree stumps around.

A total of four people were sitting here: a middle-aged man, two middle-aged women, and a young man around thirty years old.

Through the Eye of God, Xu Mu swept over the people present one by one and learned their identities.

"Jin Mo is back? Didn't you say you'd be home at one-thirty? It's already one-forty."

A slightly plump middle-aged woman with permed hair said with a smile.

Her eyes were not large; Jin Xiaoxiao obviously took after her.

This person was exactly the Jin family's legal wife, Wang Jinyan.

Her expression seemed to be joking, but the underlying meaning was unknown.

"First Mother, I ran into some friends on the way and chatted with them for a bit."

Jin Mo smiled and glanced at Xu Mu and the others.

"Alright, he's only a few minutes late. I don't usually see you having such a strong concept of time."

The middle-aged man with a buzz cut beside her spoke up.

He was exactly Jin Mo's father, Jin Xin.

"Momo, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook for you in a bit."

The other middle-aged woman stood up and walked towards Jin Mo, her face full of concern.

She looked younger and more beautiful. She was exactly Jin Mo's biological mother, Zhang Ping.

"Let's talk about business first."

Jin Xin looked at Jin Mo and said, "I called you back this time for two things. First, your brother Jin Hong is already thirty years old. I want you to help find a female Cleaner to marry him."

"Second, your sister Xiaoxiao also wants to join the Cleaners, but she failed to make the cut in the last exam. As the third-ranked captain, help pull some strings."

Jin Xin continued, "Our Jin family is not outstanding among the dozen or so hidden families in the Central Plains. We will have to rely on you in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Mu shook his head slightly. So they were looking for Jin Mo to do them favors.

"Dad! I don't even know any female Cleaners, so how can I introduce one to my older brother? Also, to become a Cleaner, the most basic requirement is strength since we have to carry out missions. If Xiaoxiao didn't pass the exam, I can't help with that either."

Jin Mo said to Jin Xin.

"See, I told you Jin Mo wouldn't be able to help. He's at the captain level, why would he bother with such trivial matters?"

Wang Jinyan looked at Zhang Ping with a sarcastic expression. "Sister, you are going to enjoy a life of luxury from now on."

"Momo, can you really not help? Aren't you on good terms with a few of the directors? If your brother and sister can make connections with the cleaners, you will all be able to look out for each other in the future."

Zhang Ping tugged at Jin Mo's arm and whispered.

Xu Mu smiled faintly. Jin Mo's personality was shaped not only by his family background but also heavily influenced by his mother.

With a mother of such a cowardly nature, how could Jin Mo not suffer from an inferiority complex?

"Mom, I really can't help. You know what I'm like. I barely have any friends at the Sanitation Department."

Jin Mo said with a hint of helplessness.

"Jin Mo, I think you just don't want to see me succeed, do you? Since you are a cleaner, you think the inheritance rights of the Jin family will fall into your lap in the future, right?"

Jin Hong stood to the side with his arms crossed and sneered, "Let me tell you, that is impossible! You are just a lowly child born to a mistress; you have absolutely no right to inherit the Jin family!"

"Damn it, I can't take this anymore."

Xu Mu suddenly spoke up.
