Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 289 Old fritters

Upon hearing this, the aunt immediately perked up: "What is she doing outside? It can't be..." She then made a rather inappropriate gesture.

Shen Tong did not deny it, but instead reached out and pressed down on her aunt's hand gesture, and looked around to indicate that she should not make a fuss.

The aunt exclaimed as if she had some irrefutable proof: "Oh dear, birds of a feather flock together! I knew that girl wasn't a decent person..."

Do you know where her father is right now?

The aunt shook her head: "I don't know. A while ago, some people dressed in black suits who looked rich came to see him, and then I haven't seen him since."

"Were they captured by those people?"

The aunt waved her hand: "It shouldn't be. After those people left, Old Zhao was still drinking beer at the barbecue stall outside that night."

It seems that Auntie has gathered enough information, and Shen Tong has entrusted her with the task of finding out Zhao Mingna's whereabouts.

Although Shen Tong's tactic was quite underhanded, it was very effective. The auntie happily agreed and even went so far as to mobilize her old friends to inquire about the situation, saying that they would inform Shen Tong immediately if they had any news.

"Spreading rumors is shameful..." Xia Lan completely disagreed with her actions.

"But as long as it works, that's fine. Besides, she's not a good person herself. The things she's done have ruined so many girls. What's wrong with letting her taste that kind of pain?" Shen Tong said dismissively.

"What's the essential difference between spreading rumors and secretly filming private moments..." Xia Lan still disagreed with Shen Tong's statement.

"Forget it, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Let's go ask at the barbecue stand first." Since they didn't see eye to eye, Shen Tong was too lazy to argue further.

The two strolled to the barbecue stall that the aunt had just pointed out at the intersection.

The owner was a bald, middle-aged man who was currently grilling skewers shirtless.

Xia Lan politely stepped forward: "Uncle, I want to ask you something..."

"What would you like to eat, young lady?" The uncle didn't respond to Xia Lan's question.

"Uh, I don't eat. I wanted to ask you something..." Xia Lan remained polite.

The uncle, while fanning himself with a cigarette and sprinkling chili powder, urged Xia Lan away, saying, "Young lady, if you don't have anything to do, don't block my business."

Seeing Xia Lan's discomfiture, Shen Tong burst into laughter, pulling Xia Lan back with a swift movement: "Little girl, you're still too green. Watch me~"

Shen Tong stepped forward, pointed to the menu, and said, "Boss! Give me fifty skewers of this, this, and this," then pointed to the seafood jar behind the boss and added, "One serving of this and this too!"

Upon seeing a big customer, the owner's eyes lit up: "Great! So many skewers, would you like some drinks?"

Xia Lan was about to refuse when Shen Tong stopped her behind her: "It's no fun for me to drink alone. My sister can't drink. Why don't you have a drink with me, big brother?"

The boss was momentarily distracted by Shen Tong's alluring face, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

"Brother, I might drink, but you want to drink with me?"

Shen Tong blinked and nodded ambiguously: "I'll cover all the drinks, you're just here to drink with me~"

Xia Lan behind her showed a look of disgust. Shen Tong really would stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

"Why don't you just give me the money directly instead of going through all this trouble?" Xia Lan asked, puzzled.

Shen Tong pointed a finger at Xia Lan's forehead: "You don't understand. When people drink, they can't help but reveal a lot of information. They might not dare to say things when they're sober, but they can get them out when they're drunk."

Xia Lan slapped her hand away in dissatisfaction. This action was too ambiguous. Only Lu He could do this; no one else could!

After a few rounds of drinks, the uncle started to speak recklessly.

"You mean that old Zhao? He's this guy!" The uncle gestured downwards, clearly looking down on the others.

"I don't know how a scoundrel like him could have gotten so lucky and made a fortune!"

Xia Lan was completely confused: "Wasn't he in debt? How did he suddenly become rich?"

The middle-aged man hiccuped: "Uh, he originally owed money, then his daughter was hospitalized, so he killed his wife to extort money. And yet, someone actually offered to buy his daughter!"

"What!" Shen Tong and Xia Lan exclaimed at the same time.
