About ten minutes later, people sent by Wu Runzhong began searching the streets for Lian Xinying.
After finding the small stir-fry restaurant, the proprietor gave the thugs a direction.
"A woman did come asking to borrow my phone, but my wife wouldn't let me lend it to her… After that, she walked off in that direction." The male proprietor had a guileless and honest appearance, making him seem unlikely to lie.
However, the thug was somewhat suspicious and took a look inside the restaurant.
He quickly noticed something amiss.
"Why is there blood on the floor?" the thug pointed at the bloodstains on the ground and asked.
The male proprietor was momentarily taken aback, then quickly responded, "Maybe it got accidentally spilled when goods were being delivered! We're known for our signature beef noodles; would you like to give them a try?"
"Try my ass!"
The thug cursed impatiently and walked away.
