When the two people heard that they would be given fifty yuan for providing information, they made a small calculation and winked at each other:

"Let's go into the house."

They entered the noodle shop and shouted to the boss: "Lao Lu, is the missing person notice you posted on the door true?"

When Zuo Jingyan heard someone asking about the missing person notice, she didn't even bother to eat, so she went to see the two people who came in from the door.

When looking at people, look at their eyes. The eyes of these two people are too lively and chattering around. They look very thoughtful.

But regardless of whether they are smart or not, and whether they are upright or not, as long as they can find grandpa, they will still give him fifty yuan.

The noodle shop owner obviously didn't believe these two people, and his tone of questioning was suspicious:

"Li Er, Li San, do you know the person on the missing person notice?"

"Well, I know you. Why should I ask you if I don't know you?"

Li Er answered very firmly. He disliked Lao Lu for asking too many questions and said unhappily:

"Please tell me where the person who posted the notice is."

Lao Lu was a little worried. He glanced at Zuo Jingyan, who nodded to him. When Lao Lu saw Zuo Jingyan nodded, he said to Li Er:

"It's that girl and that boy."

Li Er followed Lao Lu's finger and saw Zuo Jingyan, and his eyes lit up. Oh my god, it's so beautiful. He walked over with his younger brother and asked Zuo Jingyan with a smile on his face:

"Girl, are you looking for Lao Zuo?"

Zuo Jingyan felt as if she really knew her grandfather after hearing these words, so she nodded patiently:

"Yes, I'm looking for him, do you know where he is?"

Li Er nodded, rubbed his fingers against Zuo Jingyan, and said with a smile:

"Of course I know, but the thank you fee must be paid first, otherwise I will tell you where he is? What if you find him and don't give me the money?"

Zuo Jingyan smiled:

"You asked me for money without saying anything. If it were you, would you give it?"

When Li Er saw that Zuo Jingyan was no longer there, he sat astride the long stool where Zuo Jingyan was sitting, licking his face and said:

"Okay, I'll take you to him in a moment. You treat our buddy to some noodles first."

Lao Lu was anxious. A scoundrel is a scoundrel. He was afraid that Zuo Jingyan would be fooled, so he shouted at Li Er:

"Li Er, don't disturb my customers."

Zuo Jingyan felt like her boss was reminding her, and she said coldly:

"As I said before, I will give you money when you meet someone. Before you meet someone, you have nothing."

Li Er frowned and looked unhappy. He stood up angrily and muttered: "You're really stingy."

Zuo Jingyan pretended not to hear, picked up the buns and started eating by herself. Li San swallowed his saliva and pulled his brother to the table aside. The two of them whispered something.

As soon as Zhao Xiaobao came over to these two people, he kept an eye on them and would take action immediately if they dared to sneer.

"Xiaobao, destroy all the buns."

Zuo Jingyan pushed two and a half drawers of steamed buns to Zhao Xiaobao and whispered to him: "Don't cause trouble for the boss."

If a fight really breaks out in a noodle shop, it will cause losses to the boss. It’s not easy to run a small business, so we can’t delay others.

Zhao Xiaobao nodded, lowered his head to eat, and kept his eyes on brothers Li Er, always paying attention to their movements.

Li Er and Li San didn't take Zhao Xiaobao seriously at all, and the skinny guy was no match for their brothers in a fight.

Seeing Zuo Jingyan finish eating, Li Er walked over with a smile: "Let's go, we will take you to find Lao Zuo."

Zuo Jingyan nodded, stood up and went to settle the accounts first: "Boss, how much do we pay?"

Lao Lu reminded in a low voice: "Those two boys are scoundrels, don't go with them."

Zuo Jingyan also replied in a low voice: "Thank you for reminding me, but what if they really know Lao Zuo? I will have missed the opportunity to find him."

Lao Lu had no choice. He had already warned her, but Zuo Jingyan insisted on going, so he had no choice but to tell her: "Be careful. If anything happens, report it to the police as soon as possible."

Li Er and Li San were afraid of what the boss would say to Zuo Jingyan, so they quickly followed them. As soon as they came over, the boss didn't dare to say anything and lowered his head to give Zuo Jingyan change.

"Let's go!"

Zuo Jingyan asked Li Er to leave, and Li Er followed behind her. Zhao Xiaobao stepped over and squeezed Li Er away, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Lead the way."

Li San secretly glanced at Zhao Xiaobao. This guy had a terrifying aura and his eyes were a bit fierce!

Zuo Jingyan’s ugly words are up front. In order to prevent these two brothers from playing rogue, let’s make it clear in advance:

"Let me be clear first. If we can't find the person, I won't give you a penny. The missing person notice clearly states it. I don't want to waste words. Everyone's time is precious."

Li Er clicked his tongue twice:

"Looking at what you said, our brothers are not completely sure and will not lead you to find someone. Our time is also precious. Let me make it clear first that if you find someone, you must give money, otherwise we will not be vegetarians."

Zuo Jingyan didn't talk nonsense to him, raised her chin, and said coldly: "Lead the way!"

The two brothers, one leading the way and the other running behind, felt as if they were watching Zuo Jingyan and Zhao Xiaobao, fearing that they would run away.

Zuo Jingyan didn't care about these things. She didn't want to give up even if she had a little hope, but she stopped after taking two steps.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back and find something."

Li Er was afraid that she would not come back after leaving, so he quickly said: "I'll go with you."

Zuo Jingyan said coldly: "No need."

Zhao Xiaobao grabbed Li Er's shoulders and gave an unquestionable order: "Friend, just stand and wait."

Li Er felt severe pain in his shoulder. He struggled twice but couldn't move away. Only then did he realize how powerful Zhao Xiaobao was and he felt a little guilty.

When Zuo Jingyan returned to the noodle shop, the boss reminded Zuo Jingyan again when he saw that Brother Li did not follow him back:

"Those two brothers are not good people, so be careful."

Zuo Jingyan thanked her and went upstairs to her room to take out the chili pepper water from her luggage bag.

This time she went out and made two more bottles of chili pepper water. Although she knew Xiaobao was powerful, this thing could play a huge role at critical moments, so it was better than nothing.

She came out with the chili water. Li Er and Li San were already impatient with waiting, and they were relieved when they saw her come out.

Li Er urged: "Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to stop anyone."

Zuo Jingyan didn't say anything and followed them out of the alley.

The two brothers led them around, walking through the alleys. The bluestones were wet and a bit slippery to walk on.

Zhao Xiaobao had been paying close attention to the surrounding environment. Feeling that Li Er was taking them further and further into the countryside, he began to be on full alert.

Li Er took Zuo Jingyan to a dilapidated bungalow, pointed at the house and said to Zuo Jingyan:

"Lao Zuo lives here, please pay me!"

"Call people out."

How could Zuo Jingyan believe his lies? It was impossible to give Li Er money without seeing her grandfather.

Li Er shouted towards the room:

"Lao Zuo, Lao Zuo, someone is looking for you."

He didn't look like he was lying at all. He shouted loudly and knocked on the door with his hands. It felt like he really knew his grandfather.
