Chapter 109: Yin Zhiping, a Brave Man
Just as he raised the stick and was about to swing it at the woman, the force from the other end of the stick made him stagnate.
He looked back in confusion, and a well-dressed man appeared behind him with a smile.
"Brother Liu," Zhou Rong asked, holding one end of the stick tightly in one hand, "What's the big deal that makes you so angry?"
The dark-skinned man was surnamed Liu, the owner of Anping Hotel and also a chef. He had also met his wife Zhou Rong, who was mainly responsible for cashiering and guest registration.
Seeing Zhou Rong come forward to stop him, Liu's face was slightly entangled, but he still refused to put down the stick in his hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Zhou, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry about it."
Everyone thought that Zhou Rong would be a good person to the end, but unexpectedly, the latter let go of the stick in his hand, nodded, and said "OK."
As expected, the woman was driven away.
She cried heartbreakingly, as if there was something really sad.
But perhaps because of Zhou Rong's appearance, the man surnamed Liu did not go too far, at least he did not hurt the woman with a stick, he just drove her away.
When most people's attention was on the man and the miserable woman, Jiang Cheng was alone there looking around, Chen Xiaomeng stared at him fiercely, as if she wanted to skin him alive.
Looking in the direction Jiang Cheng was looking, Chen Xiaomeng suddenly realized that there was another table of guests sitting there.
But unlike their performance here, the guests at that table were very calm, and they didn't even look at this place for a second time, just lowered their heads to eat.
It was as if they were accustomed to what had just happened.
When she retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Cheng again, the latter seemed to realize something, and turned his head at the same time, blinking slowly, looking at Chen Xiaomeng.
Later, Chen Xiaomeng's eyes widened in the dusk.
She saw Jiang Cheng actually twisting his body, showing a shy look of wanting to refuse but also welcoming.
A chill ran through her body like an electric current, and Chen Xiaomeng suddenly felt that she was not feeling well.
After a moment of noise, the place returned to peace again.
The guests were still eating quietly. The owner, Brother Liu, seemed a little embarrassed. After driving the middle-aged woman away, he went back to the kitchen without saying hello.
"What is this?" Benfu squatted down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground.
The piece of paper was not big. It was a small corner after unfolding. It should be a fragment of a whole piece of paper. The edge looked like it was torn into pieces.
There were many similar pieces of paper on the ground.
Zhou Rong thought about it and said, "Pick it up first and put it together to see."
Half an hour ago, when Jiang Cheng passed by here, the ground was still very clean. It seemed that these scraps of paper appeared not long ago.
Moreover, it was probably related to the middle-aged woman.
Not hiding from others, everyone worked hard for a while and put together the approximate appearance of the paper on an empty table in the middle of the restaurant.
There was a portrait on it.
Because there were a few pieces missing, only a rough outline could be seen.
In short, it was undoubtedly a man.
"Could this man be the woman's husband?" Jiang Zhongyi asked tentatively, "But he disappeared for some reason, and the woman came here with the portrait to find her husband."
Recalling the previous conversation between the middle-aged woman and the store owner, Jiang Zhongyi's statement was completely tenable.
"But this is normal," Li Lu shrank her neck and glanced cautiously in the direction of the kitchen, as if she was worried that the store owner would hear it, "But why did he treat the woman like this? It would be fine if he drove her away, but he also tore up the portrait?"
Indeed, this approach was indeed excessive.
And the indifferent attitude of other guests was also very strange.
There must be something wrong here.
Ben Fu looked at the other two tables of guests, and after a while, he hesitated and said: "Should we ask?"
"No."
Zhou Rong and the old man Pei Gan spoke almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and finally Zhou Rong gave the reason, "The situation is unclear now, so it's better not to alert the enemy."
Yu Man smiled charmingly, stared at him, and said frivolously: "Then according to Mr. Zhou's meaning, this clue should be ignored? Maybe" she twisted her hair with one hand, "This may be the clue to start the real mission."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Rong stepped back and made way for his position, "Miss Yu, please."
His attitude was very straightforward. If you don't believe me, you can try it.
Yu Man's face was embarrassed for a while, and then she didn't speak.
She was not stupid, and naturally knew the risks of doing so. As for what she said just now, it was not out of her heart, but just a revenge for Zhou Rong's previous disrespect for her.
But now she has made herself embarrassed.
Fortunately, Pei Gan stood up and said a few polite words, and this page was turned over.
Pei Gan suggested that everyone leave here temporarily and look for clues outside. The middle-aged woman should not only come to Anping Hotel to look for people.
They can cut in from the perspective of insignificant passers-by, which can also avoid some unnecessary risks.
Everyone nodded repeatedly after hearing the old man's words.
Only Jiang Cheng didn't.
This good-looking man seemed to be a special existence outside the entire group.
His standing posture was rather strange, with his upper body leaning forward, standing on tiptoes, his eyes desperately glancing at one place, and his expression was very ruddy.
Because Ben Fu was standing opposite Jiang Cheng, he was the first to notice the abnormality.
He looked along Jiang Cheng's line of sight in confusion until he stopped at Yu Man's upper body.
Yu Man should have just come out of the bar, wearing only a burgundy tube dress with a gauze texture, and she came through the hazy waves.
"Does it look good?"
A fragrant breeze suddenly came to his ears.
Penfold, who was absorbed in the thought, nodded subconsciously without thinking, and licked his lips at the same time.
Then he felt a chill on his head, and just as he retracted his gaze, Jiang Cheng stood in front of him angrily, grabbed his wig with his left hand, bent his right hand, and flicked his head hard.
The force of this flick almost made him faint.
"Pervert!" Jiang Cheng was half a head taller than Penfold, and at this moment he was even more condescending, exuding the noble aura of a righteous person, "You actually peeked at the beautiful Miss Yu!"
"Okay, okay," Pei Gan seemed to have no way to deal with Jiang Cheng, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let's get down to business first, business is important."
Jiang Cheng then hummed and let go of Penfold.
After leaving Anping Hotel, the group walked aimlessly along the street. Ben Fu seemed to be frightened by Jiang Cheng. He covered the swelling on his forehead and followed the group in small steps.
His wig was confiscated by Jiang Cheng and was now in his pocket, saying it was a punishment for his obscene behavior.
Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to follow Yu Man, whispering something in her ear from time to time, making Yu Man laugh. The two talked and laughed, very happy.
