Chapter 466 An Old Fox
“I guess so!”
Mingli looked at Xinyue for a long time, then asked, "Since we are so destined to meet, could you do me a favor?"
"Tell me what you want to do for me! I'm in a good mood right now, so I'll help you if it's not too much."
After saying that, the two of them got into another car.
Mingli drove the car to a Tiffany store and stopped.
"Can you help me choose a necklace? Something not too expensive would be best. I don't have much money on me."
Xin Yue looked at Ming Li seriously and said, "Little brother, you are not in love with me, are you? Do you want to seduce me? At your age, in the countryside, I think you can be my son."
Mingli: "Don't get me wrong, I want to buy it as a gift for someone else, not you. This is my first time buying a gift, so I don't know what style women like. I want you to help me choose."
Xin Yue: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so scared...Is this a gift for my girlfriend?"
Mingli: "No, it's for my aunt."
Xin Yue: "Aunt? Then why don't you send mom off?"
Mingli: "Don't worry about it, okay? Just help me choose a necklace."
Xin Yue: "Okay, okay, get out of the car."
Soon, Xin Yue carefully selected a necklace for Mingli.
Mingli looked at the necklace and liked it very much.
"To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"It's disrespectful."
"But after buying this necklace, I don't have any extra money to treat you to a meal at a restaurant. I wonder if you would be willing to come to my place and experience my cooking skills."
"Of course, no problem. I just don't know if your landlord welcomes it."
"It's okay, the landlord is one of us."
Mingli drove Xinyue back to Zheng Zheng's house.
Zheng Zheng saw a strange woman and asked, "Who is this?"
Mingli: "She's a new friend of mine. I brought her back for dinner and then left."
Zheng Zheng: "Oh, I see! Welcome, welcome! One more person means one more pair of chopsticks, it'll make things more lively. Xiao An has already prepared the food and is waiting for us."
Mingli: "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. I'll go get some more dishes. Wait a minute, I'll be right there."
After a while, Mingli ran to the kitchen to busy herself.
Then, several side dishes were placed on the table.
Seeing Xin Yue, Ma Xiaoan, and Zheng Zheng sitting in the hall chatting happily, Mingli couldn't help but tease them, "You guys are chatting so happily while I'm away. Are you saying something bad about me? Come over and eat, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Everyone gathered at the dinner table. Ma Xiaoan frowned when he saw the side dishes made by Mingli.
"Why are you eating these again? I feel like vomiting after eating them."
Mingli glared at him and said, "Don't be rude when there are guests here. Just because you're tired of eating doesn't mean others don't want to eat."
Xin Yue picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of meat and put them into her mouth.
"Wow, it's delicious. What kind of meat is this?"
Mingli: "It tastes good, right? It's the bear meat we had earlier."
Xin Yue: "No way? I've eaten it before, and I remember it didn't taste very good, smelly and fishy. How come you make it so good?"
Mingli said proudly, "This is a natural talent for cooking. You can't learn it, nor can you envy it."
Xin Yue poked Ma Xiaoan with her elbow. "Why do you have such an expression when you have such delicious food? Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven for wasting such a delicious food?"
Ma Xiaoan: "If you eat abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, and bird's nest every day, you'll get tired of it and want to vomit. To be honest, we still have a lot of this kind of meat in the refrigerator!"
Zheng Zheng: "Alright, alright, stop talking and let's eat."
After dinner, seeing that it was getting late, Mingli offered to take Xinyue home, which Xinyue of course was more than happy to do.
After an hour and a half's drive, Mingli finally drove to the hotel where Xinyue was staying.
Xin Yue: "Do you mind going with me to the hotel bar for a drink? It's my treat."
Mingli looked at her and couldn't find an excuse to refuse for a moment. He nodded, got out of the car and walked into the hotel with her.
The two sat at the bar, Xinyue ordered a cocktail and Mingli ordered a pineapple juice.
In such a relaxed environment, both of them slowly opened up.
"You must be rich to live in such a beautiful hotel?"
"It's not like I'm very rich, I'm just spending money to buy some face."
"What do you do in your country?"
Suddenly, Xin Yue looked at Ming Li with a dazed look, touched his arm with her fingertips, and whispered in his ear: "Come to my room and I will tell you."
Mingli immediately stood up and said, "You are drunk. I will ask the waiter to take you back to your room!"
After saying that, he walked towards the front desk.
At this moment, Xin Yue pulled him with one hand.
"That's enough concentration. Sit down! I need to talk to you about something."
Mingli sat down again.
"Do you still remember Fan Liping?"
Xin Yue took out a cigarette from her handbag and was about to light it up when suddenly the bar guy put a "No Smoking" sign in front of her. Xin Yue had no choice but to put the cigarette back in.
"What? Who said Fan Liping? Haven't you heard of her?" Mingli felt that the name was a little familiar, but it seemed that no one around him knew this person.
"It's not surprising that you don't remember. Who would remember someone they just met three or four years ago?"
These few words finally reminded him of Sister Ping who died tragically under the wheels of a car three or four years ago.
"Is it her?"
"Oh, you finally remembered her?"
"What happened to her?"
"What else can I do? Just like you thought, I'll just die."
"Who are you to her? Why did you suddenly mention her to me?"
"Don't worry about it. I'll tell you when I get a chance. You still remember Tang Renjie, the owner of Weimibar!"
"Of course I remember this bastard. He's a bumbling hypocrite."
"That's a good point. But you know what? He's actually a black agent. He specializes in tricking recent female university graduates into coming here to sell alcohol and engage in prostitution. He then detains them and restricts their freedom. Fan Liping is one of them. I want to rescue those abducted girls and send that bastard Tang Renjie to jail to avenge them."
"That's easy to say, but we're on foreigners' territory now. How easy is it to arrest them?"
"It's not that difficult. As long as we find evidence, the local police will do it for us."
"Then how can I find evidence? I ran away because I had a falling out with them. Now you don't want me to go back, do you?"
"Last month, I hired someone to fake a car accident and break the leg of one of their mamasan and then replace her as a senior executive at Weimibar. I just don't know where he's hiding those girls, and I want to rescue them before the police shut them down."
"Why are you telling me this? I can't really help."
"You can do it."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember Liu Jianxiong?"
"Remember, what does it have to do with him?"
"He was recently stabbed to death in a secluded area."
"What?" Mingli opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time.
"You're not going to tell me you did this?" he asked doubtfully.
"Don't talk nonsense. I won't do anything illegal."
Mingli looked at her with disgust, as if the person in front of him was not a human but a fox full of lies.
