Chapter 1172 Returning to My Hometown
Before Shu Yu could even speak, he interrupted her with a barrage of words, leaving her speechless.
This guy is still as talkative as ever, his mouth never stops smacking.
But the next moment, she was stunned when she saw the clothes the waiter was wearing.
The waiter noticed her gaze, glanced down at his clothes, straightened his back slightly, and smiled at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "So... you've become a shopkeeper?"
The waiter quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it's just temporary, a temporary replacement."
"What happened to the original manager?"
The shop assistant shrugged. "I don't know where Manager Fang went. He's not originally from Tianning County. He said he had some business back home and went back, but he hasn't come back yet. Our boss asked me to temporarily take care of things for him."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, and the latter asked, "How long has Manager Fang been gone?"
"About a month." This wasn't a secret, and the guy had nothing to hide.
More than a month?
Wasn't that exactly when Gongqiu was beheaded? So, the restaurant manager, Fang, was just following up on receiving the news and rushing back to rescue his master, only to be captured by the Fifth Prince?
Manager Fang is obviously not coming back. This guy in front of me is just temporarily filling in for the manager; who knows, he might get promoted to the permanent position.
"Young lady, is there something you need to do in Tianning County?" The shopkeeper smiled at them, somewhat excited. Last time, this young lady had given him a reward, and perhaps he would receive another one this time.
So he was exceptionally enthusiastic, "But whatever you're doing, you've had a long journey, so you must eat. Ladies and gentlemen, please come in and sit down. Order whatever you like. You're a regular customer of our restaurant, so I'll give you a discount."
Shu Yu quickly interrupted him, "Shopkeeper, can I ask you something?"
Upon hearing the words "shopkeeper," the waiter's smile widened even more.
"Okay, go ahead and ask."
"Where did that beggar who was outside the Quansheng Escort Agency go?"
The waiter paused for a moment, then said, "You mean him? He should be at the security company. Come to think of it, he hasn't come out for two days now. I wonder if something happened to him."
There was still some connection between them, and the waiter would occasionally give the old beggar some food. The restaurant had been quite busy these past few days, so he hadn't paid much attention to the old beggar.
Only when someone asked him about it did he vaguely realize that this person hadn't shown up for two days.
Thinking of this, the waiter turned to the other waiters in the restaurant and instructed them, "You all work harder, I'll go check on the other side."
He had just finished speaking and was about to turn around and tell Shu Yu to rest at the restaurant first, but who knew that after he said the old beggar hadn't appeared for two days, they had already turned around and headed towards the gate of the escort agency.
Meng Yunzheng stepped forward and tried to push it, but it wouldn't budge; it was clearly already secured inside.
They could get in through the burned and collapsed part of the houses at the back, but going around in circles would take too much time.
Therefore, without saying a word, Meng Yunzheng climbed over the outer wall and went inside.
The waiter walked up to Shu Yu and witnessed this scene. He stared wide-eyed and said, "He, he, he just went straight in like that? Hey, young lady, this won't do. Although the Quansheng Escort Agency is in ruins, that old beggar is extremely skilled. If you barge in, he'll attack you. We should..." and try knocking on the door.
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yunzheng, who had climbed over the wall, had already opened the gate.
