Chapter 64: Someone is Asking About Bai Xian

Xiao Feiwu, carrying a Li Mengyao brand thermos, happily trotted towards Uncle Li’s house.

If it weren’t for this thermos, he would have taken the shortcut back to Slow Residence long ago.

“Little Xu, hurry up!” Xiao Feiwu kept urging Xu Jiahao, who was already panting, from behind.

A ten-minute journey was forcibly turned into five minutes by Xiao Feiwu. It would be strange not to be out of breath.

Xu Jiahao didn’t want to talk to Xiao Feiwu anymore.

He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from swearing the moment he opened his mouth.

This was a simple, small mountain village. Although it produced a maverick like Li Mengyao, most people were still quite simple and honest. He didn’t want to become a vulgar person on this quaint avenue.

As soon as they reached the entrance of Uncle Li’s house, Li Mengyao ran out from inside, bouncing.

“Brother Xiao, Brother Xu!” The little girl’s round face was flushed, and her ponytail was about to fly into the air.

Xiao Feiwu used to like this cheerful and lively little girl quite a bit, but after hearing Jin Mo’s words, he had a new understanding of the girl in front of him.

This little girl was more than just lively; she was simply shocking!

He didn’t know how this honest and simple Uncle Li could have such an unconventional daughter.

Xiao Feiwu didn’t know how to face Li Mengyao, so he could only chuckle twice.

Xu Jiahao was slightly calmer, nodding at Li Mengyao.

Uncle Li also came out.

“You’re here!”

Xu Jiahao greeted Uncle Li.

“Uncle Li, here’s your thermos!” After saying that, he handed the thermos to Uncle Li, “But, there’s really no need to send it to Jin Mo anymore! He has his own exclusive loving soup!”

Xu Jiahao smiled and pointed to himself and Xiao Feiwu, “Miss Li’s loving soup, when sent over, just ends up in our stomachs!”

Li Mengyao’s expression changed. She had been smiling happily just now, but now she looked a little depressed.

“Why doesn’t he drink the soup I send?” Li Mengyao said angrily.

Uncle Li patted her. “What are you saying?”

Xu Jiahao continued to smile, “Uncle Li, please don’t send any more soup tomorrow, so we don’t have to make a special trip.”

After saying that, he placed a few hundred yuan on the table.

Uncle Li was stunned, then picked up the money, wanting to stuff it back to Xu Jiahao.

Xu Jiahao held Uncle Li’s hand.

“Uncle Li, if you don’t accept it, we won’t dare to come to your house for meals anymore!”

“But?” Uncle Li’s face was very red, looking at a loss.

Xu Jiahao patted Uncle Li’s arm.

“Uncle Li, this money is just like that soup, it’s just a gesture of goodwill, it has nothing to do with us eating here!”

After saying that, he pulled Xiao Feiwu and prepared to leave.

Li Mengyao’s face was no longer so bright at this time.

She naturally understood their meaning, but she wouldn’t give up so easily.

She walked up to Xu Jiahao, clenched her fist, and made a cheering gesture.

“Brother Xiao, you tell Brother Jin that I won’t give up! Besides, people say that it’s easy for a woman to pursue a man, as long as I persevere, I believe that I will definitely be able to move him!”

Li Mengyao’s bold words left Xiao Feiwu speechless.

Xu Jiahao frowned. This little girl really wouldn’t give up until she was at the Yellow River!

“Miss Li, I’m not interested in what you think, I just want to tell you that what you said is wrong. At least in pursuing Jin Mo, it’s not like a thin layer of paper between you, but like a Mount Taihang!”

Li Mengyao rolled her eyes upward, obviously disagreeing with Xu Jiahao’s words.

Xu Jiahao was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, pulling Xiao Feiwu and preparing to leave.

Xiao Feiwu was thinking about Bai Xian’s soup, so naturally, he followed without saying a word.

Passing by the door, they saw a thin, tall, and slightly gloomy fellow walking inside.

Xiao Feiwu’s eyes narrowed, staring at the person’s back.

Xu Jiahao tugged at him.

“What’s wrong?”

Xiao Feiwu lowered his voice, “That’s not a good person!”

Xu Jiahao’s gaze swept over Xiao Feiwu’s shoulder, landing on the thin and tall figure.

“Could this person be here to cause trouble for Uncle Li?”

“Who knows?”

“Why don’t we wait and see what he’s up to?”

“Alright!”

The two stood at the door, not leaving directly.

Xiao Feiwu took out a cigarette case, took out two, handed one to Xu Jiahao, and took out a lighter from his pocket, lighting the cigarette against the wind.

In early September, even in the mountains, the sky was still quite bright at six o’clock.

The two smoked, while also paying attention to the thin and tall man out of the corners of their eyes.

After the thin and tall man walked into Li’s Farmhouse, he went straight to the bar.

Li Mengyao was still in a low mood, and seeing the unremarkable thin and tall man, she obviously didn’t have much intention of paying attention to him.

“Eating?” The little girl took out a menu, placed it on the table, and asked lazily.

The thin and tall man seemed a little angry, but seeing that the little girl was quite cute, he suppressed that anger.

He picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes, and handed it to Li Mengyao.

Seeing that he really was eating, Li Mengyao’s expression improved a lot, and her tone became a bit more polite.

“Okay, please wait at table five!” After saying that, she led the thin and tall man towards table five.

After the thin and tall man was seated, he waved at Li Mengyao.

Li Mengyao leaned over with a somewhat puzzled expression.

“Little girl, I want to ask you, have you seen a person with a scar on his right cheek?”

Li Mengyao was stunned for a moment, and then the image of the Slow Residence boss appeared in her mind, wasn’t he the one with a scar on his right cheek!

For some unknown reason, she immediately nodded.

“I’ve seen him!”

Hearing this, the thin and tall man straightened up instantly.

“Oh, really?”

“Really! He’s the boss of the Slow Residence B&B diagonally across the street! He has a scar on his right cheek!”

The thin and tall man seemed a little excited. He grabbed Li Mengyao’s arm, his eyes slightly sinister.

“Are you sure?”

Li Mengyao hardened her heart.

“I’m sure, he should be at the hospital right now! If you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital to see, or you can watch the entrance of Slow Residence, he’ll come back from the hospital every noon and evening to cook!”

The thin and tall man smiled and said, “Thank you,” then released Li Mengyao.

Li Mengyao walked back to the bar, her heart “thumping” rapidly.

She felt like she had been bewitched just now!

This person was obviously not a good person, and she actually sold out the Slow Residence boss!

Why?

Was it because Jin Mo was happy when he saw the Slow Residence boss?

Or because she didn’t like the Slow Residence boss?

Or did she subconsciously feel that the existence of the Slow Residence boss was a hidden danger to her?

Li Mengyao couldn’t say what her situation was!

She only knew that she didn’t like the Slow Residence boss, she didn’t like him very much!

Why did he look at her so coldly? With such a superior look?

Li Mengyao shook her head, simply thinking that she hadn’t done anything wrong!

The two people standing outside the wooden window heard the conversation inside clearly.

The two walked a few steps towards the shade of a nearby tree, hiding their figures.

“What do we do?” Xu Jiahao asked.

Xiao Feiwu frowned, gritting his teeth, annoyed that he couldn’t eat Bai Xian’s food.

“This person should be here for Bai Xian, it’s very likely that he’s an accomplice of the van, I have to catch him!”

Xu Jiahao thought for a while and said, “Let’s go back to Slow Residence to eat first, and come back after we finish! Anyway, Uncle Li is slow to serve the food, and by the time we finish eating and come back, we should be able to catch up!”

Xiao Feiwu was stunned, then ran towards Slow Residence as fast as his legs could carry him, like he was taking off.

Xu Jiahao gritted his teeth and followed him.
