Zhou Si stood there in a daze. He was dumbfounded by the speed at which the officer escaped.
"This... this Mr. Zhao, who is his background..." Zhou Si muttered to himself, becoming more and more curious.
He scratched his head and decided to change his approach. Since the police didn't dare to tell him, he could ask those who often walked the streets. Perhaps they would know something.
Zhou Si walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and found a seat by the window. He pricked up his ears and listened to the conversations around him.
"Hey, have you heard? A big shot has come to the city recently!" said a voice.
"What big shot?" asked another voice.
"I don't know, but I heard that even the county magistrate treats him with great respect!"
Zhou Si's heart moved, and he quickly went over and asked, "Big brother, are you talking about that Mr. Zhao?"
The two men glanced at Zhou Si, and one of them said, "Young Master Zhao? Which Young Master Zhao?"
Zhou Si was a little disappointed. It seemed that they were not talking about the same person.
"Waiter, come and serve this gentleman a pot of good tea!" a loud voice came.
Zhou Si looked back and saw a burly man with a full beard walking towards him.
The man sat down opposite Zhou Si and said with a smile, "Little brother, what do you want to do by asking about Mr. Zhao?"
Seeing that the man had a generous face and did not look like a bad guy, Zhou Si said, "To be honest, big brother, I received a favor from that young master Zhao and I want to thank him."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows. "Do you know Mr. Zhao?"
"I don't know him, I've only met him once." Zhou Si said, "That day at the hot pot restaurant..."
He told the man everything that happened that day.
After hearing this, the man laughed out loud: "I see! Little brother, you are lucky to have met Mr. Zhao!"
Zhou Si quickly asked, "Brother, do you know Mr. Zhao?"
The man nodded and said, "I know him, but I can't tell you Mr. Zhao's identity."
Zhou Si was a little disappointed, but still didn't give up: "Brother, can you just reveal a little bit?"
The man looked at Zhou Si, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, considering your sincerity, I'll tell you a little."
"Mr. Zhao is not someone you can afford to offend. Just remember, he helped you, so you owe him a favor. When you have the chance in the future, just repay him."
Zhou Si nodded: "Thank you for your advice, big brother!"
The man waved his hand. "It's a small matter. But, little brother, I advise you to be more careful in the future. This world is not peaceful."
"I understand. Thanks for the reminder, brother." Zhou Si said.
The man finished his tea and stood up to leave. Zhou Si also paid the bill and walked out of the teahouse.
Although he still hadn't found out the specific identity of Mr. Zhao, Zhou Si already had some idea in his mind.
At least, he knew that Mr. Zhao was not someone he could afford to offend.
Back at the hot pot restaurant, Chen Xiaoru saw Zhou Si's serious expression and asked, "How's it going? Did you get any news?"
Zhou Si told Chen Xiaoru the news he had heard.
After listening to this, Chen Xiaoru was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that this Mr. Zhao is even more mysterious than we imagined."
"Yeah." Zhou Si nodded. "Boss, do you think he could be..."
He hesitated to speak.
Chen Xiaoru knew what Zhou Si wanted to say, and she shook her head: "No. He doesn't look like that kind of person."
"I hope so." Zhou Si said.
Chen Xiaoru looked at Zhou Si and said, "Zhou Si, go ask around and see if you can find out who is behind this."
"Okay." Zhou Si agreed.
A cold light flashed in Chen Xiaoru's eyes. No matter who it is, if they dare to do something behind my back, I, Chen Xiaoru, will never let them go!
As night falls, the hot pot restaurant becomes lively again.
Chen Xiaoru stood behind the counter, watching the busy waiter, but was thinking about something else in her mind.
Who is that Zhao Yu?
Why should he help me?
Will he... come again?
Chen Xiaoru shook her head and threw these messy thoughts out of her mind.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
I, Chen Xiaoru, am not someone who can be bullied!
