《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 183 : Ximen Yixiong
Advertisement
Not long after the conversation, the girl who was wearing a light green shirt and trousers gave what looked like a card to the woman in the light blue dress. After that, the woman in the light blue dress left the girl standing across the street. He walked over to a man in a light brown shirt. Soon after, the two of them crossed the street and entered the restaurant where Yixiong and Yiren were observing all the happenings.
The couple then approached the table where Yixiong and Yiren were sitting.
Eh? They're headed here? Do they realize we are watching them?
The man and woman then sat down at a table that was right next to Yixiong and Yiren's table. The two people did not look at Yiren and Yixiong at all.
Now we have to be very careful!
"Was that your friend?" The voice of the man in the light brown shirt was so gentle. Slightly less suitable to his stature body.
The guy doesn't know who the girl is. So many possibilities open!
"No. I don't even know her." The woman in the light blue dress shook her head quickly.
Hah? My guess is not right?
With curiosity, Yixiong tried to eavesdrop on their conversation. He didn't need to make much of an effort because the two of them were talking in quite loud voices.
Still, we must be vigilant. Maybe they are deliberately talking nonsense to misinform us!
"You don't know the girl, but chat with her?" The man laughed.
"I saw her holding a folder with the logo of a company where a friend of mine works. I haven't spoken to my friend in a long time. The last time I saw him was almost a year ago. Three months ago, I tried to contact the house where he's staying but apparently he's moved. The people who live there don't know where he's moved to."

"Why don't you go straight to where he works to see him?"
"I don't know where he works. I don't even know the name of the company he works for. I've only seen the logo of that company. The logo drawn on the folder that the girl is holding is exactly the same as the logo I've seen. So I intend to ask her. It's possible that she works in the same place as my friend."
"So she knows your friend?"
"No. Turns out that girl doesn't even work there. She got the folder from someone who works at that company. Earlier, she gave me that person's business card. The girl asked me to contact the person whose name is on the business card to find out information about my friend ."
It turned out that this was just a coincidence. But maybe not. Still open the possibility that they are playing.
"What is that girl doing here? Is she looking for something?"
"I didn't ask her that. I asked about the girl's accent instead. It was obvious that she came from somewhere else."
"Where is she from?"
"She said she was from Yuandong. But she also said, because she had lived in several places, her accent was a mix of accents."
Yixiong and Yiren looked at each other. This fact was quite interesting. If the girl really was from Yuandong, then there was a possibility that Shanquan and the girl knew each other.
"By the way, where's your friend?" The man in the light brown shirt looked around him.
He must have been looking for the waiter, who should have come over to them as soon as they sat down.
"She said she would be late. So she asked us to go inside and order food right away."
The man saw a waiter who appeared from the room behind the payment counter. He waved his hand at the waiter. The servant came immediately. But he did not immediately ask what food they would like to order. That person instead did something that Yixiong found a little strange. He looked at the two of them without saying anything.

The service here sucks!
"What is it?" The woman in the light blue dress opened her mouth.
"Are you two the guests that Miss Heshi is waiting for?" The waiter answered the girl's question with another question.
"That's right, we are friends of Heshi Changpu," replied the girl.
"Miss Heshi has reserved a place upstairs," said the waiter. "Please come with me upstairs."
"Is Miss Heshi upstairs yet?"
"Not yet ma'am! But she just called. She said she would be there in ten or fifteen minutes. She asked us to let her friends sit first in the place she had ordered."
"All right. We'll be there." The man nodded.
The two people quickly stood up. They then followed the waiter towards the stairs that led upstairs. Quickly, they disappeared from Yixiong's sight.
Yiren looked at Yixiong. "If there are too many coincidences, then things might not just be coincidences.
Yixiong nodded.
"Next, what are we going to do?" Yiren frowned.
Yixiong did not answer Yiren's question. He turned his gaze back out the window. The girl was still standing there. Someone, or something, she was waiting for had not yet come.
Did the girl come too soon? Or did the person she was waiting for come late?
Suddenly, there was a little boy running toward the girl. He was about eight or nine years old. The boy then gave what appeared to be a piece of paper to the girl. She asked something to the little boy. The little boy shook his head. After the girl gave the money to him, the little boy ran away straight away. His face looked so happy. Or maybe it was just Yixiong's guess.
Ah! The person she was waiting for chose another place as the meeting point. Did he suspect that the other party was tailing the girl?
The girl read the paper she had just received. After finishing reading, she put the paper in his trouser pocket. The girl then started walking.
"Where is she going?" Yiren leaned forward.
"Now, hurry up and follow the girl," said Yixiong. "Try not to find out you're tailing her."
"Huh? Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. Can't you see the look on my face?" Yixiong pointed at his own face.
Yiren nodded. He quickly got up from the chair.
"Remember! Don't make contact with that girl unless it's an emergency."
"Then what about our business here?"
"You don't need two people to carry a bag, right? Let me handle this. I will tell Mr. Xuande and Mr. Jingdu that you have to leave suddenly because you have other business."
Yiren nodded. "Then what about our friends? What will you say later?"
"I'll tell them later that you ran into one of your friends out of the blue. Your friend asked you to talk to someone about work. In short, you got a job offer."
"All right! I'm leaving now!"
Yiren then ran out of the restaurant. Yixiong looked out the window. He could still see the girl walking away. The girl walked quickly. The girl's steps reminded Yixiong of Shanquan's way of walking. It's not very similar, but not too different either.
What relationship exists between them?
Yixiong looked at the watch on his wrist. Time seemed to be running very slowly. He didn't want to wait too long at Xuande Zhanji's friend's warehouse. So Yixiong would wait for a while at the restaurant.
