"Mr. Yuan, could you please talk about how your father disappeared?" Xiao Mu steered the conversation to the main subject.
"Sure, Mr. Xiao, would you like to come in for some tea and talk while we drink?" Yuan Lin agreed, extending the invitation to Xiao Mu simultaneously.
"No need, let's just talk here. I'm here to investigate the disappearance of Mr. Yuan Lao, not to drink tea," Xiao Mu gracefully declined with a smile.
"Alright, Mr. Xiao."
Yuan Lin agreed, his tone seemingly more respectful, "My father disappeared five days ago."
"Five days ago, someone suddenly came to our house, claiming to be Mr. Shang..."
"Shang?" Xiao Mu couldn't help interrupting Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin quickly added, "The Shang from the Shang dynasty."
Xiao Mu pressed, "Do you know his first name?"
Yuan Lin shook his head, "That Mr. Shang didn't say, he only mentioned his surname was Shang."
"Oh!" Xiao Mu was somewhat disappointed, "What did he want from Mr. Yuan Lao?"
