173 Whereabouts

“Please, you don’t have to be like this. You didn’t come here to help me. It’s because our manager thinks that you’re clean and efficient. That’s why she decided to hire you.”

“Manager Li is a good person, and you are even more so, thank you!”

The old lady was in her early forties, and most of her hair had turned white. Having been in the food and beverage industry for a while, she wrapped her hair with a clean blue handkerchief.

“Mother!”

Chen Xiaoliang had heard that it was the first day of the Hundred Flavors Restaurant’s opening, so he had accompanied his mother over early in the morning. Yue Jiaojiao, who was busy mopping the tables and chairs behind him, did not see him.

“Sir, Madam.” Chen Xiaoliang stood beside his mother obediently, “I had nothing to do anyway, so I came over to help. You don’t have to pay me. I just want to repay you.”

“What if you’re trying to use this opportunity to blackmail us?”

Fang Tianliu looked at Chen Xiaoliang’s disheveled hair and clothes. He raised his chin to the sky and said, “I’m scared just thinking about having the famous Xiaoliang help out in our small shop.”

Xiaoliang’s mother’s face was full of uneasiness.

Li Xiangjun slapped Fang Tianliu’s back and whispered to him, “Stop with this nonsense. His mother will feel bad if she hears you.”

Fang Tianliu closed his mouth, but he still didn’t forget to give Chen Xiaoliang a few sharp glares.

“Xiaoliang, go to the backyard and wash the dishes. Don’t come to the front.” Xiaoliang’s mother reached out to push her son. “If the guests outside see you, they won’t dare to come in.”

“Mother, I know. I won’t come out. You can bring the dishes to the back and I’ll wash them.”

Fang Tianliu snorted coldly and muttered, “He better not poison us.”

“Xiaoliang,” Zhao Zhan said, “Why don’t we talk in the backyard? I have something to ask you.”

A crowd of customers gathered in front of the shop, curious to see what this new shop offered. Li Xiangjun nodded, so Zhao Zhan led Yue Jiaojiao to the backyard. Otherwise, if Fang Tianliu continued to fight with Chen Xiaoliang, the two of them might end up ruining the first day of business.

“Are you going to ask me about that person’s whereabouts?” Chen Xiaoliang sat down in the backyard and said while washing the rag.

“I’ve been wandering around East Street for the past two days and I’ve found some clues.

someone saw the woman faint in front of someone else’s house. It’s unclear who saved her, but “I asked around to find out who lived in that house. It’s a coincidence. It’s the landlord who gave the shop.

“Qian Conreng?”

Yue Jiaojiao thought of Qian Congren, whom she had coincidentally met at the Hundred Herb Hall, and frowned slightly, “It could be.”

“You’ve seen him before?”

Yue Jiaojiao told Zhao Zhan about her meeting with him at the clinic. “I didn’t expect things to be so coincidental.”

“I’ve been waiting in front of his house for a few days. I haven’t seen anyone else come out of his house,” Chen Xiaoliang added. “If he really saved her, I don’t know what the situation is with the woman now. Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao exchanged a look.

If this nanny had a deep relationship with her, then as long as she recovered, she should be able to secretly inquire about Yue Jiaojiao’s news.

There was no way to rule out the possibility that this nanny and that relative in the North had worked together to harm Yue Jiaojiao.

Before he could make a promise, Zhao Zhan did not dare to let his sweetheart take the risk to acknowledge the nanny.

“There’s no rush to identify her for the time being.” Zhao Zhan had also thought this through. He looked at Chen Xiaoliang and said in a deep voice, “Please help us keep an eye on her for a while. If you can find out that the woman is still unconscious, it’s better if she’s hidden in the house and can’t come out.”
