The old woman who was pushing the garbage truck had an almost imperceptible smile on her face. She shook her head slightly as she looked at Ma Baozhe's silhouette. With your level of skill, you still want to look for someone? Go find a ghost!
How did you think of asking those disciples who don't even know Xiao Chen to look for Xiao Chen? Where do you expect them to find him? Even if you send people to turn the entire Songning City upside down, you probably won't be able to find a trace of Xiao Chen!
Thinking of this, the old woman was too lazy to care about Ma Baozhe's whereabouts. Instead, she took out a mobile phone from her pocket and dialed a number in her address book.
"Mister Xing, long time no see! Do you have any instructions for me? Please feel free to speak! I will serve you wholeheartedly! "On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man with a strange accent asked respectfully.
It turned out that this old woman was Miss Xing in disguise. She originally thought that as long as she followed Ma Baozhe, she would be able to find Xiao Chen smoothly. Who would have thought that after a few days, Ma Baozhe was still like a headless fly, running around aimlessly. He couldn't find Xiao Chen's whereabouts at all, not even a single clue.
"Yorishima Kikuo, immediately send me a copy of Xiao Chen's information. Remember, I don't want official information from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. You should know what to do, right?" Miss Xing's voice returned to normal. She was no longer old, but ordered coldly. Her tone had regained its usual arrogance.
"Okay, no problem. I will ask Ling Qianxue to send the information to you. May I know your location?" Yorishima Kikuo agreed immediately.
This order was not difficult for him at all. After all, he was from the secular world and had done a thorough investigation on Xiao Chen. So, Yorishima Kikuo already had all the information on Xiao Chen in the secular world. He could take it out at any time.
"I am at Songning City's Qianhua Waterfront Villa District, Block XX. Ask her to find me directly. That's all!" Miss Xing said simply, hung up the phone, threw away the garbage truck, and hid in Xiao Chen's villa.
She removed the disguise of an old woman, but still dressed as a man. She sat on the sofa and waited.
Not long after, Ling Qianxue drove the car to the villa. After seeing Young Master Xing, she handed over the information to him and was in no hurry to leave. She quietly stood at the side, waiting for new instructions. Yukio Yeshima had already instructed her to cooperate with Young Noble Xing as long as he needed it.
Little girl Xing opened the document and read it carefully. The information was very detailed. It started from the time Xiao Chen was kicked out of the Xiao family and became an abandoned good-for-nothing, all the way until he became the Deputy Director of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. There was all the information about the secular world, but there was no information about the martial arts world.
Perhaps it was also because Yorishima Kikuo's ability was limited, and he could not get involved in too many sects in the outer martial arts world. He did not know much about what happened inside, so there was no record of this.
Little girl Xing analyzed as she read, mainly focusing on the records of the period when Xiao Chen was down and out. She repeatedly studied it several times, and finally locked her eyes on the section where he and Tang Tang went to the morning market to sell fried dough sticks.
"Hehe, a dignified Demon Sect Master of the outer martial arts world actually sold fried dough sticks in the secular world. How unexpected!" Little girl Xing tapped on the information page with her finger, and her tone was full of disdain.
Little girl Xing made a conclusion in her heart, then looked up and asked, "Ling Qianxue, do you know where the morning market is?"
"I have looked into it. It's not too far from the villa, about 15 minutes by car." Ling Qianxue nodded and replied.
"Okay, let's go! You drive me there now. " Little girl Xing put away the information, stood up, and left the villa, directly sitting in the car outside the door.
Ling Qianxue did not have any objection. Before she came, Yorishima Kikuo had already told her to listen to Little girl Xing's instructions, so she followed him out without a word. After sitting in the driver's seat, she started the engine and drove directly in the direction of the morning market street.
When they arrived at the morning market street, it was already noon. Many vendors had already closed their stalls and gone home, and the remaining stall owners were also packing up their things. There were a lot less pedestrians on the street, and the entire morning market street was empty.
Since she was afraid of exposing her identity, Little girl Xing did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she asked Ling Qianxue to drive the car directly into the morning market street, and parked it near Xiao Chen's stall. From the car, she stared out.
"Huh? Didn't the information say that Xiao Chen sold fried dough sticks? Why is that stall selling fried dough sticks? Could it be that the information is wrong? " Little girl Xing sat in the front passenger seat, looking at the sign of Lin's Fried Dough Sticks in confusion. Then she took out the information and flipped through it. Strange, the location was indeed recorded here!
What Little girl Xing did not know was that Yorishima Kikuo did not care about the fact that Tang Tang had given the stall to the Lins. Even if he knew, he would not record such a trivial matter. He probably could not even remember the information.
"I … I'm not too sure about this. How about I go and ask them?" Ling Qianxue was also confused. After thinking for a while, she asked for Little Girl Xing's opinion. Seeing that Little Girl Xing did not agree or disagree, she took the initiative to get out of the car and walked to the Lins' stall.
Since it was the weekend, the Lins' stall closed a little later than usual. At this time, it was almost time to clean up. Lin Ke-er was helping to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks when she saw a girl walking towards her family's stall. She hurriedly walked up to her apologetically and said: "That … I'm sorry, we have already closed up. If you want to eat beef plate noodles, you can come back tomorrow morning!"
"Stupid girl! What nonsense are you talking about? "Mother Lin, who was standing on the side, glared at Kerr Lin. How could she let go of a business opportunity? Mother Lin pulled Kerr Lin over and greeted her enthusiastically, "Little girl, please sit for a while. I'll cook a bowl of fried dough sticks for you right away. It'll be quick!"
"Oh, sorry to trouble you." Since Ling Qianxue was here to ask for information, she did not refuse. She found a place to sit down and waited for a while. Then she pretended to ask casually, "Auntie, I remember that there used to be a stall selling fried dough sticks here! It should have been opened by a man and a woman. Why are they changing now? Did they move away? "
"Yes! They moved away a few months ago. Since my daughter is their classmate and they have a good relationship, they let us have the stall. "Mother Lin did not care. She skillfully cooked the dough sticks and answered casually.
Ling Qianxue suddenly realized. Wasn't this Lin's Fried Dough Sticks opened by Kerr Lin's family? Although there was no information about this stall in Xiao Chen's information, it was mentioned that Xiao Chen used to pursue Kerr Lin when he was in school. Also, when he sold fried dough sticks in the morning market, he would help the Lin family's business from time to time!
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I suddenly don't want to eat the noodles. I'll leave the money here. Keep the change." After Ling Qianxue understood the ins and outs of the matter, she couldn't wait to stand up. She put the money on the table and turned to walk in the direction of her car.
Anyway, her real purpose was not to eat the noodles. Since she had already found the information she wanted, there was no need to stay any longer.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? I can pack it for you … "Mother Lin had just served the noodles and was stunned when she heard Ling Qianxue's words. When she came back to her senses, there was no trace of Ling Qianxue.
Looking at the brand new red banknote on the table, Mother Lin immediately panicked. She quickly said to Kerr Lin, "Why are you still standing there like a fool? You just watched her leave and didn't know how to stop her. Hurry up and see if that banknote is fake! "
"Ah? Oh … "Kerr Lin blinked her eyes and obediently picked up the banknote on the table. She carefully looked at it a few times and then said," This money is real. There's no problem! "
"Are you serious? Let me see! " Mother Lin didn't quite believe it. She wiped her hands on her apron and took the banknote and looked at it for a long time under the sun. Only then did she confirm that it was real. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's real! Since that little girl doesn't want to eat, then let's keep this bowl of noodles for lunch! "
As she spoke, Mother Lin quickly put away the money. She had earned 100 yuan today, which made her very happy.
Kerr Lin didn't answer, but looked in the direction where Ling Qianxue disappeared. She didn't care too much about whether the banknote was real or fake. Instead, she was wondering why such a beautiful girl would come to inquire about Xiao Chen and Tang Tang's stall. Could it be … Could it be that there was some conflict between them? Or was she an ex-girlfriend who was dumped by Xiao Chen and came to take revenge?
She didn't realize that every time she encountered something about Xiao Chen, her imagination would run wild …
Ling Qianxue returned to the car and briefly reported the situation to Miss Xing.
Miss Xing didn't give up on this clue after hearing it. Instead, she lowered her head and thought, Since Xiao Chen had given the stall to Kerr Lin's family, then the stall where the Lin family used to be should be empty. So, could it be …
Thinking of this, Miss Xing immediately flipped through the information and found the address of the Lin family's stall. She immediately asked Ling Qianxue to start the car and drive to the Lin family's stall.
As expected, before the car stopped, the sharp-eyed Miss Xing found a small piece of youtiao on the ground not far away. It seemed to be leftovers and probably hadn't been cleaned by the cleaners yet.
Seeing this scene, Miss Xing immediately knew what was going on. But to be safe, she still got out of the car and asked a lot of nearby stalls and customers. There was indeed a man and a woman who had opened a new youtiao stall here, and it had just opened not long ago.
After Miss Xing got the accurate answer, she immediately came up with a plan. After discussing it with Ling Qianxue, the two of them began to implement it separately and went about their own business.
A few days later, the reputation of Tang's breakfast shop grew in the morning market street. Every day, there would be a long line. The crowd spread the news by word of mouth, and it soon reached the ears of Kerr Lin.
