The people in the room recognized He Wenlin. Seeing her eyes darting around, they asked, "Are you looking for your father?"
There was no point in hiding it, so He Wenlin admitted it directly: "Yes, I'm looking for my dad, Uncle. Didn't my dad come to play cards today?"
"He didn't come."
"Okay, thank you. This fast food meal has eight portions, which costs twenty-four yuan. Who's paying?"
At this moment, the man who had just been talking to He Wenlin took out his wallet, paid her twenty-five yuan, and He Wenlin gave him one yuan in change before leaving.
Back at the fast food restaurant, He Wenlin called her mother to tell her that no one was there.

Then the phone went dead.
How could this person's attitude change so drastically?
Did they think the cigarettes weren't enough?
That doesn't make sense, there are five thousand in total!
Five thousand is already a year's salary for many people.
Is it too little?
Right now, I just want to buy information. If it turns out the other side is targeting my family, the matter will be resolved, and I'll even get a bribe.
