However, since the young couple had been sitting here for a while, no one doubted them and quickly took up the topic. "Our mayor is really good. No one in this building has a bad word for him. If he had come here a few years ago, our place would have become more prosperous."
For a moment, these people were all praising Mayor Chen, but these were not what the young couple wanted to hear.
Zhang Meng quickly winked at the man next to her.
Gu Mingtai smiled and shook his head at her.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng frowned, not understanding what he meant for a moment, so she had to stop leading the conversation.
After listening to gossip for nearly half an hour, Zhang Meng let the man next to her pull her out of the crowd.
"Gu Mingtai, we came here tonight to inquire about..." Just as she said this, Zhang Meng saw the man next to her making a hushing gesture at her.
Zhang Meng looked around and immediately shut up. After walking for a while, Zhang Meng suddenly realized that they were following an old woman.
Zhang Meng glanced at the man beside her in confusion. Seeing that he was staring straight ahead seriously, she had to swallow the questions in her heart.
After walking behind the old woman in front for about ten minutes, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the couple. "No need to follow me, you two. Just tell me what you want to do."
Zhang Meng was stunned. Looking at the fearless old woman in front of her, she felt that this old woman was a powerful person who had done something great in the past.
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly, took Zhang Meng's hand and walked towards her, "Auntie, we don't have any bad intentions. We followed you because we actually have something to ask you."
The old woman looked at the couple for a moment and said, "You want to ask about that fake good guy, Mayor Chen."
Zhang Meng was stunned. Why did the tone of the old woman's voice when she spoke of Mayor Chen sound as if they had some deep hatred?
The old woman glanced in Zhang Meng's direction. Zhang Meng immediately withdrew his gaze from her.
That look seemed to reveal everything she was thinking. It was terrifying. Gu Mingtai stood in front of Zhang Meng, blocking the old woman's gaze from them, and said coldly, "It seems that your relationship with Mayor Chen is not very good!"
The old woman sneered, "Not only do I want to kill him, I actually want to kill him."
When she said this, a fierce light flashed in the old woman's eyes.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai looked at each other and a thought flashed through their minds at the same time, that is, they had found the right person this time, and perhaps they could really learn something about Mayor Chen's secrets from this old woman.
"Auntie, can we find a quieter place to talk?" Gu Mingtai said to her.
The old woman glanced at the two of them and said without hesitation, "My house is just up ahead. If you trust an old woman like me, let's go home and talk."
Zhang Meng looked up at Gu Mingtai and soon saw him nodding in agreement with the old woman's proposal.
The old woman smiled with satisfaction, "You are all cultivators, right?"
After saying this blunt statement, the old woman didn't look at the surprised expressions on the couple's faces and started walking forward again.
Zhang Meng was startled and immediately grabbed Gu Mingtai's arm as he was about to follow. "Gu Mingtai, don't you think this old lady is a little weird? We're going back to her house rashly like this. I wonder if there's a trap."
Gu Mingtai patted the back of her hand and said, "She's an old lady, and we're two young people. If a fight really breaks out, we'll win. Don't be afraid."
Zhang Meng was about to open her mouth after hearing what he said when the old woman walking in front of her suddenly said with a slightly impatient voice, "Are you two coming or not? If you doubt an old woman like me, then don't come."
Gu Mingtai patted the back of Zhang Meng's hand again and quickly responded to the old woman walking in front, "Auntie, we'll be right over."
Soon, Gu Mingtai took Zhang Meng's hand and strode after the slightly hunched figure.
The young couple followed the old woman for about four or five minutes before they stopped under a residential building.
"My house is on the second floor. Come up with me." The old woman turned around and said to the couple behind her.
Then they went upstairs one by one.
Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai looked at each other and followed again.
Finally, they entered the house. The old woman sat down hard on a chair in the living room, took a breath, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai still standing, so she said, "Find a place to sit down. I, an old woman, can't entertain you."
The young couple finally looked around the room and found two stools in a corner to sit on.
"Girl, how many years have you been a fortune teller?" Zhang Meng received a direct question as soon as she sat down.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the old woman smiled softly, "I used to do your business, earning a little money to support my family. Life was finally getting better, but suddenly the war broke out again. In the end, everyone in my family was gone because of this endless war. In the end, only my little daughter was left to stay with me. I never thought that my little girl would jump into the wolf's den again."
Zhang Meng stared at her in surprise. Seeing that she didn't answer her question, the old woman smiled and immediately turned her eyes to Gu Mingtai, "Do you also smell a ghost aura on Chen Dongsheng?"
Knowing that the old woman in front of them was a witch, the couple did not show any surprise when they heard her mention the word "ghost spirit".
Seeing her ask this, Gu Mingtai replied calmly, "Yes, there is indeed a ghostly aura about him. I wonder how much do you know about this ghostly aura, old senior? Can you tell us about it?"
The old woman nodded. "Actually, I don't know much. Ever since that kid found out I had a ghost in him, he won't let me set foot in his house anymore. He won't even let my little daughter come to see me. Humph, he's guilty. I know. He doesn't think I can't see his true face just by not letting me go to his house. What a joke."
Zhang Meng finally realized something was wrong when she heard this and looked at her in surprise, "Could it be that Director Chen Zhen's wife is your youngest daughter?"
The old woman looked at her, a kind smile on her weather-beaten face. "Yes, she is my little daughter, the only relative I have in this life, so I will never let anything happen to her. That Chen Dongsheng is a devil now, I will definitely rescue her."
Gu Mingtai raised his eyebrows when he heard this and interrupted the old woman. "Excuse me, but I'd like to ask if our Director Chen Zhen has always been like this, or has he only become like this recently?"
