Chapter 411 Tang Qiwen Falls into the Water

Before the people in the private room could come out, Wan Qiqi and Wu Gousheng had already left Jinyulou.

Fifteen minutes later, Feng Gan confirmed that Tang Qiwen was too drunk to wake up before letting the attendants guarding outside in.

After seeing Tang Qiwen off, he was about to go back to find Wan Qiqi when he learned that she had already run away.

All that remained was an empty private room and a note that read: "Deal made. You just wait and see."

Feng Gan was so angry he wanted to flip the table, but then he remembered that he had paid for the meal, so he suppressed the thought.

He stormed to the counter and said coldly, "Check, please!"

The manager of Jinyulou said with a smile, "Young Master Feng, it will be thirteen taels of silver in total."

"Thirteen taels? Why don't you just rob me?" Feng Gan was furious and would confront anyone who came near him.

He painstakingly acted alongside Tang Qiwen, trying to get information out of Wan Qiqi.

As a result, the woman left without saying a word, and I didn't get a single penny of benefit!

That's absolutely outrageous!

The manager of Jinyulou didn't know why Feng Gan suddenly lost his temper, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he could only smile and apologize.

Finally, he placed a small jar on the counter and said, "Young Master Feng, this is what that young lady left for you."

Feng Gan paid the money and was about to leave when he glanced at the jar and his eyes lit up. As if snatching a treasure, he quickly grabbed the jar and carried it away.

"This woman is quite sensible..." he muttered to himself, a faint smile curving his lips.

Although I was exhausted from acting in the play, I drank good wine and even earned a jar of good wine, so it wasn't a bad deal.

The only thing missing is what Wan Qiqi promised him.

A few days later, news of Tang Qiwen getting drunk and falling into the water spread throughout Hefeng Town.

Compared to Feng Gan, there wasn't as much discussion about Tang Qiwen, but quite a few people were still talking about him.

There were even rumors that there was a monster in the lake in town that preyed on drunk men.

There are also rumors that a couple committed suicide there.

However, the woman drowned, while the man was rescued and is now married with children.

So whenever a drunk man passed by, the woman would always mistake him for a heartless man and drag him into the lake to be buried with him.

Regardless of the idea of ​​a love suicide, Feng Gancai felt incredibly happy when he thought that Tang Qiwen had also fallen into the water, and he celebrated with a little wine.

On the other side, Tang Qiwen woke up from his drunken stupor and caught a cold. He flew into a rage in the courtyard, smashing things and cursing, but he was still unable to vent his anger.

He knew he got drunk because of excessive drinking, but he was certain that someone had sabotaged his fall into the water.

However, when people were sent to investigate, they found no clues whatsoever, as if he had truly fallen into the water by accident.

When Fang Luxue returned from her trip, she learned that Tang Qiwen had fallen into the water and caught a cold, so she immediately came to visit him.

Although Tang Qiwen didn't want to pay attention to Fang Luxue, he couldn't afford to break ties with her and Fang Ziming right now, so he could only hold his breath and talk to her.

He didn't really swallow his anger.

Regardless of whether Wan Qiqi was the murderer or not, he still tried to pin the blame on her, saying things against his conscience to gain Fang Luxue's sympathy.

Although Fang Luxue didn't believe Wan Qiqi would do such a thing, she still hoped that her cousin and Sister Qiqi could get along well.

After all, aside from her blood relatives, Wan Qiqi was the most important person to her!

The sky was clear and the air was crisp, with not a cloud in sight.

The restaurant was open for business as usual, with a constant stream of customers coming and going.

Fang Luxue hummed a little tune as she arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. She glanced at the signboard and skipped into the restaurant.

She didn't look like a daughter of an official at all. She wasn't well-educated or quiet; instead, she was somewhat unruly and shrewish.

The people in the restaurant had seen Fang Luxue several times before, and as soon as she entered, someone went up to greet her.

"Miss Fang, what brings you here? Would you like to sit in the main hall or a private room?" Xiao Liu asked with a smile.

Fang Luxue glanced around the first floor; there were no seats, and she couldn't see the person she was looking for. She asked, "Where is your Manager Wan?"

Xiao Liu scratched the back of his head, looked around, beckoned Tie Niu over, and asked, "Where is Manager Wan today?"

Tie Niu looked slightly helpless and said, "Manager Wan doesn't usually leave at the same time as us, so I didn't know."

He has been arrested and questioned no less than five times today; everyone has asked him the same question.

Just as Xiao Liuzi opened his mouth to ask something else, Tie Niu continued, "Gou Sheng always follows Manager Wan's arrangements. We don't know his whereabouts, but he goes to the martial arts school and picks up and drops off the children every day."

"Alright, Miss Fang understands. You can go ahead and get busy!" Xiao Liu waved his hand, signaling Tie Niu to leave.

In fact, he knew everything Tie Niu was talking about, but Fang Luxue did not.

Moreover, only those few people who lived with Wan Zhanggu would know the most.

Fang Luxue rolled her eyes and said with dissatisfaction, "How can you be such good employees? You don't even know where your own boss is. What if something happens to the restaurant?"

Xiao Liu bowed and smiled, "Miss Fang, isn't there Manager Zhu? With him around, Manager Wan can rest assured."

"Oh," Fang Luxue replied, glancing around but not seeing Zhu Chengye.

She fixed her gaze on Xiao Liuzi, her expression questioning.

"Manager Zhu is checking the accounts in his study on the second floor. Shall I take Miss Fang to find him?" Xiao Liuzi said with a forced smile.

"Never mind, it's nothing."

Fang Luxue chose a window seat on the first floor, intending to eat while waiting, determined not to make herself uncomfortable!

But she always felt that she hadn't brought the almanac with her when she went out that day, which was why she kept coming back empty-handed.

Xiao Liuzi was also a clever person. Seeing that she hadn't left after finishing her meal, he brought her various snacks, making sure she didn't have to wait.

But whether Manager Wan will come today is really unknown, after all, he asked Manager Zhu, and Manager Zhu was also unaware of the other party's whereabouts.
