Their main business was xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and they found a corner seat after going in.

The waiter wiped the table clean with a cloth. "How many of you would like to eat?"

Fu Yanlin looked at them and asked, "How's the beef?"

Seeing that they didn't seem very energetic and weren't answering, I spoke to the waiter.

"Three steamers of beef buns, another steamer of chive and egg buns, and a bowl of congee for each of us. And some of the free pickled vegetables, please!"

The waiter wrote down their requests and then spoke.

"Okay, just call me if you need anything."

Fu Yanlin said to Lu Zhixia, "Don't be discouraged. We haven't found any useful information here, but maybe we'll have good news from the neighborhood committee and the law enforcement office."

Lu Zhixia said, "I plan to come back again tomorrow, just in case we run into each other!"

Fu Yanlin: "Okay, I'll come over tomorrow and help you look for it."

Lu Zhixia shook her head, "That's too much trouble and will waste your time."

Fu Yanlin: "Are you being too formal with me again?"

Lu Zhixia forced a smile, "Okay, then you help me look for it."

The waiter brought them the cutlery.

Fu Yanlin handed over the chopsticks, saying, "I've been to this restaurant several times. The food is pretty good, very delicious."

Zhuang Ran: "Were these the steamed buns you specially bought last time?"

Fu Yanlin nodded, "Yes, it's that steamed bun."

Zhuang Ran said, "It was so delicious last time that I didn't want to eat any. Let's go back and bring another serving for my sister later."

Fu Yanlin recalled his sister's fierce expression, "I didn't want to pack my food, and she almost beat me to death today!"

Zhuang Ran laughed, "That's because you didn't tell her about it first."

Fu Yanlin thought of his sister's temper, "Forget it, I won't argue with her. I got beaten up a lot when we were kids." He looked up and waved.

"Waiter, could you come here for a moment?"

The waitress came over again. "How can I help you?"

Fu Yanlin said, "Leave me two steamers of beef buns; I need to pack them up when I leave."

Upon hearing this, the waiter quickly spoke to the manager in the distance.

"This table of guests also wants to pack two more baskets of beef to go, do you have any left?"

The manager nodded in response, and only then did the waiter speak respectfully to them.

"Sure, no problem!"

"Let's leave it at that for now," Fu Yanlin said.

Hearing another customer call, the waiter turned around to attend to other guests.

Soon, steaming hot buns were served, with 12 buns in each steamer.

Not wanting to spoil the fun for others, Lu Zhixia picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks first. It was plump and white, and when she took a small bite, it burst with juice. It was indeed quite delicious.

Fu Yanlin: "How is it? I told you it's delicious!"

Lu Zhixia: "The taste is really good. I didn't expect there to be juice inside."

Fu Yanlin took all the steamer baskets down. "There are four of us, so one steamer basket for each of us."

Lu Zhixia said, "I can't eat that much, you can eat as much as you want."

Fu Yanlin: "Then you can eat as much as you want."

Seeing how much they enjoyed their food, Lu Zhixia unconsciously ate two steamed buns herself, but then she couldn't eat anymore and sat there drinking porridge and eating pickled vegetables.

Listening to them chat every now and then made me feel a little better.

Ministry of State Security

Old Yuan received the news that the group had gone to find another person, and after their investigation, they learned that it was Fu Yi's subordinate, so they decisively made the arrest.

After conducting an interrogation, the information they obtained was the same as their judgment, so they intensified their efforts to set up a control point.

After everything was settled, the undercover agent led his men to rescue Fu Yi.

They initially thought a few people would be enough, but when they faced the disfigured woman head-on, they realized just how formidable she was. With her punches and kicks, they were no match for her.

When Lao Yuan heard the news, he became interested. He knew very well how capable his men were, so he could only contact Gu Lingxiao and ask him to bring the special forces over.

After receiving the news, Gu Lingxiao assembled the special forces team to meet up with Lao Yuan.

Several vehicles drove into the village at the same time, which can be described as a grand spectacle.

The villagers stood on both sides of the road watching, not daring to step forward to stop them.

"The Sun family is doomed now."

"That's right! Who told him to bully us so much, taking advantage of his daughter's strength!"

The onlookers started discussing it animatedly.

Several cars stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, and Gu Lingxiao and his men got out of the cars.

The gate was tightly closed and locked.

Old Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He told Gu Lingxiao...

"Oh no, did they all run away together?"

Gu Lingxiao looked at the courtyard and said, "Let's go in and take a look first. What if it's a diversionary tactic, a ruse to lure us away from our prey?"
