Chapter 157 We Are Really Fated
"Hua Fang, thank you! Thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal later!"
Tang Xueli rode her bicycle and rushed all the way to the guesthouse.
The front desk clerk shook his head and said, "Boss Kuang hasn't been here recently."
Tang Xueli asked her: "Do you have Boss Kuang's contact information? Phone number or address?"
The other party still shook his head, "No."
After thinking it over, Tang Xueli decisively went to find Yan Jingshu.
"We only reported the story of Mr. Kuang saving people, and did not leave his contact information at the time."
Yan Jingshu paused and said, "How about I go to the newspaper office and ask around?"
"No need, you should take good care of your legs first." Tang Xueli pondered for a moment, "I'll go find Liang Er, he will definitely be able to find Boss Kuang."
"Liang Er..." Secretary Yan Jing remembered that Tang Xueli had said before that she didn't want to have much contact with people like Liang Er.
"Liang Er should be the one who can find Boss Kuang the fastest now."
Tang Xueli poured a glass of water and took two sips. "I have smelled that special smell of wood mixed with disinfectant on Boss Kuang. He and Chi Daben must have come into contact with the same thing."
"Could it be a coincidence?"
Yan Jingshu looked at Tang Xueli, hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his true thoughts.
"This is a bit dangerous. You are a college student now, you should stay in school and study. When my leg is better, let me go to check it out, or we can go together, and the two of us can take care of each other. Now you are alone, if you encounter any danger, there will be no one to help you."
"Stop talking too much." Tang Xueli put down the water cup, turned around and left.
Yan Jingshu had a lot to say but he hadn't finished saying it yet, his heart was filled with worry.
But if he runs around now, he will only hinder us and cause trouble.
After much thought, he still leaned on his crutches and jumped to the post office at the intersection to call the newspaper.
After calling around, I still couldn't find Boss Kuang's phone number or address.
Although expected, it was still a bit disappointing.
At this time, Tang Xueli had already found Liang Er.
Liang Er was still selling hot-selling goods. He was even more careful than before. He stored things like leather shoes, silk scarves, wool coats, flashlights, etc. in different places.
But he often stayed in the original small bungalow.
What was surprising was that not only Liang Er was there, but Boss Kuang was also there. The two were drinking hot tea and chatting happily.
Things are unpredictable. Tang Xueli never expected that after going around in circles, the person would suddenly appear in front of her.
"Xiao Tang is here, we are destined to meet." Boss Kuang was very happy to see Tang Xueli, "You came at the right time, this tea is just right to drink now, you are really good at it!"
Tang Xueli sat down opposite the two of them, greeted them, and slowly drank a sip of tea.
She couldn't tell what kind of tea it was, but it tasted very sweet at first, with a lingering aftertaste, so it was indeed a good tea.
Tang Xueli had helped Liang Er a lot, and Liang Er was full of gratitude towards her. When he saw someone coming, he was very happy and immediately stood up to take out biscuits, candies, cakes and so on.
"Do you want anything else to eat? I'll buy it for you!"
Tang Xueli said, "No need."
Liang Er was just being polite and didn't actually stand up.
Boss Kuang looked at Tang Xueli: "Do you know I'm here?"
"I don't know." Tang Xueli looked back, "But I'm looking for you."
Boss Kuang asked directly: "What's the matter? If you need help, just tell me. Don't be polite to me."
As soon as Tang Xueli sat down, she smelled the scent of wood mixed with disinfectant on him.
"Boss Kuang, do you wear perfume?"
"What? Perfume?" Boss Kuang thought it was ridiculous. "I'm an old man, why would I wear perfume?"
Tang Xueli looked at him straight: "What's that smell on you?"
"Do I have a strange smell?" Boss Kuang raised his arm and smelled himself. He looked at Liang Er and said, "You come and smell it."
Liang Er leaned in to smell it and said truthfully, "It seems to smell a bit like wet wood."
“It smells like wet wood…” Boss Kuang smiled thoughtfully, “Then I know.”
Tang Xueli drank her tea calmly, showing no sign of being eager to know anything.
But Boss Kuang had traveled a lot and was knowledgeable. He could see through her thoughts at a glance.
"You came to me just to ask this?"
Tang Xueli said calmly: "I remembered that you helped me last time and I still owe you a favor, so I came to ask Liang Er if he has seen you recently."
"Is that so..." Boss Kuang smiled, "Then please treat me to a meal!"
Tang Xueli: "...Okay."
Boss Kuang suggested, "Then let's go to the Limin Restaurant where we first met?"
Tang Xueli had no objection and nodded.
"You are all my benefactors, I should be the one to treat you to this meal!" Liang Er was very proactive.
But the other two didn't want to take him.
Boss Kuang: "Don't you have to collect the goods tonight? Stop running around, or else there will be trouble."
Tang Xueli: "Last time it was a collaboration between me and your brother, or a transaction. I am not your benefactor."
"The goods won't arrive until dark at night, so it's too late to collect them after dinner." Liang Er paused, looked at Tang Xueli and said, "The cooperation between you and my brother is a matter between the two of you. You solved my big problem, so you are my benefactor! That was a life-threatening big problem."
Think about Tang Jincai, he is still locked up behind bars, I wonder what kind of hard life he is going through!
The person locked up inside was almost him, how scary!
How could he not be grateful to Tang Xueli!
Tang Xueli is like his second parent!
Tang Jincai: "We'll talk about it next time."
Tang Xueli: "We'll talk about it next time."
Liang Er: “…”
These two people have a tacit understanding.
Tang Xueli and Boss Kuang came to Limin Hotel and went straight into the private room.
While waiting for the food, Boss Kuang got straight to the point: "Why are you curious about this smell of wet wood?"
"I want to know where this smell comes from." Tang Xueli said: "I smell a smell of disinfectant."
"You have a very good nose." Boss Kuang smiled knowingly, "You smelled the same smell on someone else. Who is it? Can you tell me?"
"I smelled it in the card room." Tang Xueli left some room for maneuver and did not reveal all the information.
Boss Kuang narrowed his eyes and asked, "You play cards too?"
Tang Xueli said: "Occasionally."
"I didn't expect college students to gamble." Boss Kuang looked at Tang Xueli's expression, "You are quite a gambler since you can get in touch with 'Gai Douzi'."
Tang Xueli did not respond immediately.
She didn't know what the game of "covering beans" was.
"Xiao Tang, you are not honest." Boss Kuang said, "You still don't trust me."
Tang Xueli thought quickly. He was not sure whether Boss Kuang and Feng Biao were in a cooperative relationship.
If Boss Kuang had informed Feng Biao in advance, then all her efforts would be in vain.
After the food was served, Boss Kuang said with a smile, "Xiao Tang, when you are out there, there is no one you can trust completely, and there is no one-hundred-percent safe option. Every choice has hidden risks, and only those who can afford the risks can go a long way."
Tang Xueli raised her head and asked him, "Do you know Feng Biao?"
