The waiter had never seen such a treasure before, so he agreed without a second thought.
"Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely bring our young manager back..."
"You go ahead, I'll wait here. Remember, if anyone asks about this, don't mention it to anyone else. If it causes trouble, I can't take responsibility for it."
The waiter was also puzzled. He thought to himself, "I'm just passing on a message. What trouble could possibly come my way?" So he hurriedly nodded, turned around, and left.
Sitting to the side, Ah Lu was a little puzzled. "Miss Song, do you know the owner of this restaurant?"
"Yes, we're old acquaintances."
"Is this person reliable?"
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. Ah Lu, when I'm talking to that person later, you must stay outside and keep watch, so that no one overhears anything they shouldn't."
Yes, I know.
Xiao Er was efficient, and within half an hour, Ruan Wenxiao was indeed summoned back.
However, with so many people around, Ruan Wenxiao did not go directly into the main hall to meet Song He'er. Instead, he sent a waiter to inform her that he wanted to invite her to a private room on the second floor for a chat.
After hearing Song He'er's instructions, A Lu waited cautiously outside.
Inside the private room, the two sat around a table, where sandalwood incense burned, its aroma calming the mind.
"It seems you've run into trouble, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to see me."
"Yes, as long as you help me find a friend, I will give you what you want."
With a smile, Ruan Wenxiao asked gently, "The person who can make a young lady go to such lengths must be extraordinary, right? I'd like to ask, who is he?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, but that book is extremely precious, and I certainly won't hand it over to you completely. If you want to know a part of its contents, I can copy it down and give it to you."
"Now that you're asking me for a favor, you're the one who's putting up with the rules."
"You run a restaurant in Nanzhao, and you can't use the usual ways to make money. Although what I'm giving you isn't the entire book, just this is enough to ensure your business in Nanzhao remains successful. What do you think, Young Master Ruan? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You know how many people want this book, exhausting their entire lives and even risking their lives without success. Such a big piece of meat is about to be in your mouth, Young Master. Aren't you tempted?"
Ruan Wenxiao pondered for a long time, still feeling hesitant, but now, looking at the pitiful and beautiful woman in front of him, he felt a pang of pity and compassion.
"If I'm not mistaken, the friend you're talking about is the man who came to the restaurant with you a few days ago, right?"
"......"
"I see that he has an extraordinary bearing, so he must not be from Nanzhao."
"Young master, knowing so much is of no benefit to me. I only hope that you can use your connections to help me find this friend. I will reward you handsomely in the future."
Ruan Wenxiao's smile deepened as he stared at Song He'er for a long time.
After a moment, he finally spoke calmly and replied, "Okay, I promise you. I don't know where he is or where to look for him."
"Young Master Ruan is now a prominent figure in Nanzhao. He probably knows a few people in both the legitimate and underworld circles, right?"
......
Sorry for the late update today, I'll make it up tomorrow! Thank you all for your continued support!
