Jia Luo replied, "There are no strange people. They are all people from the town, and they are all known to Shi Zairong."
Hong Yu then asked, "Then, I wonder if you have ever met Huangfu Bin?"
Jia Luo replied sparingly, "I have seen him. He was carried away."
Tang Chen, who had been standing aside in silence with a stern face, suddenly brightened up when he heard that he had actually met Huangfu Bin. He interrupted and asked, "Who is he?"
Jialuo was like a naughty child, leaning against the granary door, which was huge compared to his body, with his hands folded, and said unhappily, "If I tell you, will you believe me? If not, I'm wasting my breath and getting no thanks for the effort. It's not worth it."
"Garro..."
After pushing Jialuo with a headache, Prajna gave him a look, asking him to pay attention to his tone. For some reason, even he felt the urge to punch him. He even wanted to add: "Just tell me what your conditions are, don't beat around the bush."
Tang Chen also said with a bad face: "It's your business whether to tell it or not, and it's our business whether you are willing to believe it or not. If you don't want to tell it, then we'll take our leave."
Seeing Tang Chen turn around, Jialuo prepared to leave without hesitation. Just as she was about to return to her roof, Tanhua, who had been observing from the shadows, injected her with an injection in the leg. Feeling the pain in her leg, Jialuo quickly called out to Tang Chen, saying bluntly, "Wait, I won't say anything else, lest you think I'm trying to sow discord. Just be careful of that girl in the Northwest Courtyard."
Hearing this, Tang Chen stopped in his tracks, feeling somewhat amused and helpless, as if he hadn't heard clearly what Jia Luo was saying. "What are you talking about?"
Jia Luo said: "I have said everything I need to say. Whether you are willing to believe it or not is up to you."
"you!"
Tang Chen stomped her feet. She had already had all kinds of bad suspicions about these murderers, and now his attitude instantly ignited the anger in her heart. If Hong Yu hadn't held her hand tightly, Tang Chen said that she would rush up and die with this man in the next second.
Tan Hua, who was watching silently from the dark, couldn't stand it any longer. He walked out and said, "Jia Luo, they're here to ask questions. Can you be more polite?"
Jia Luo held her forehead and said, "No, I've always been like this. Didn't you tell me to say whatever I can say?"
Tanhua didn't know what expression to use to respond to Jialuo for a moment, and could only say helplessly: "...Okay."
"..." When Tang Chen saw Tan Hua appear, he turned away without a word, his face darkening. Hong Yu, on the other hand, took two slow steps, listened to a few more words, then rolled his eyes slightly and said with a bow, "Thank you for the information, seniors. I apologize for the inconvenience. Farewell."
Hong Yu had just left after chasing Tang Chen's footsteps when Jialuo, who had been sullen towards them, suddenly softened her expression and said with admiration, "This little girl from the Huangfu family is really good."
Prajna also said helplessly: "It's rare to hear you praise someone. Your tone was the same just now, why did you change now that they left?"
Jialuo said, "I just saw the little girl named Tang Chen looking at me with that expression, and I couldn't help but give her a black face."
Besides, his tone was bad, but he couldn't be blamed entirely. That little girl, Tang Chen, had come over as if she had a grudge against him. Well, although there was indeed some grudge between them that he hadn't understood.
But there's nothing he can do about it. He's just got this bad temper. If someone greets him with a smile, he won't give them the cold shoulder. The same goes for the other way around. He can't just give someone a cold shoulder and then turn his back on them, right? To put it simply, he considers himself a very straightforward and honest person, which is probably why he hasn't had many friends in his life.
Prajna and Jialuo had been friends for nearly a century, and she was well aware of his bad temper. "Alright, I can't argue with you. If Huangfu Bin's disappearance is truly related to that girl recuperating in the Northwest Courtyard, then she's a truly ruthless person. I'm curious what would cause her to betray those who trusted her, time and time again."
Jia Luo smiled and said, "Whether that girl has any problems or not, my words are just speculations to others. I don't think Tang Chen is a man who can keep his composure. Maybe today or tomorrow, before they leave, we will have a good show to watch. Then, we will see if I, who likes to join in the fun, am deceiving others."
Prajna teased, "Then you don't plan to get involved?"
Jialuo quickly distanced herself from the situation and said, "No, I'm just someone who enjoys watching the fun. I'm not keen on helping others solve their problems, right, Senior Sister Tanhua?"
Tan Hua, who had been watching Tang Chen's departure in silence, slowly came to her senses when she heard Jia Luo calling her. As if she had made up her mind, she announced, "For Ling'er's sake, I'm going to help her this time. Ling'er's ability to live peacefully in Qingliang Valley before must have been due to her contribution."
After saying this, Tan Hua disappeared from the sight of the two of them like a gust of wind. After making sure that Tan Hua had gone far away, Jia Luo sighed softly, "I can't believe that Tan Hua's temper has improved a lot because of Jiang Ling's matter."
Prajna added, "Actually, it's not entirely because of Jiang Ling. It might be because I'm getting older and have experienced more things, so the knot in my heart has naturally been opened up."
…Hong Yu caught up with Tang Chen and grabbed her. While trying to make the terrifying expression of wanting to eat someone disappear from Tang Chen's face, she said softly, "Didn't you just promise me that you would hold it in? Why can't you hold it in now that you're there?"
Tang Chen said angrily, "It's not that I can't hold it back, but what do these people mean? Zhirou is already in that state. If she wants to do anything, she has to be able to get out of bed!"
Hong Yu, however, had a different perspective. She and Su Zhirou weren't close to each other, and while Tang Chen's subjective judgments were heavily weighted in their analysis, Hong Yu was more objective. After all, as the old saying goes, "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black." Besides, no matter who you are, hearing someone speak ill of their friend is bound to get a little irritated.
Although what Hong Yu said next might make Tang Chen unhappy, she didn't want to hide her true thoughts from her friends.
