Chapter 272: Thank You, Even If the Result Isn’t Satisfactory

“Hello. Granny, are you home?” Zheng Xing asked mildly.

“Who’s that?” The granny answered at the other side of the thin door.

“It’s us, granny. We want to ask you about something,” Zheng Xing said softly.

“Have we met before?” The granny opened a crack and looked outside.

“Yes, we have. Did you forget?” With a faint smile, Zheng Xing pointed to himself and the other two persons.

Seeing the granny still appeared puzzled, Lin Cong said hurriedly, “Oops. Over there at the entrance of the restaurant, we asked you about something. Do you remember now?”

“Oh, yes. We met at the little boss’s restaurant.” The granny was suddenly enlightened and only then did she open the door following a sound of “Zhi Ya”.

“Yes, right over there.” Zheng Xing nodded the head repeatedly right away.

“What can I do for you?” The granny came straight to the point.

Since the several young men were neither relatives nor friends and besides brought her gifts, they definitely had something to ask. So the granny asked directly.

“Last time you told us it was a girl who treated us to the meal, right?” Zheng Xing asked tentatively.

After all, he wasn’t sure if the granny still had that in her memory.

“Oh, yes. It’s that girl, Huang Ling. The girl works earnestly and diligently and is also a warm-hearted person.” Speaking of Huang Ling, the granny revealed a kind smile.

“Do you know if Huang Ling has a younger brother that is disabled in the leg?” asked Lin Cong hurriedly.

“Do you even know that?” The granny was first surprised and then explained to herself, “That makes sense. Since she treated you guys to the meal, you definitely know each other.”

“Did they move here from Liujia Town and now live at the end of the Taoxi Road?” Boss Zhao considered for a while and asked about their address.

“Do you know the girl or not?” The granny then became a little suspicious and hence didn’t answer Boss Zhao’s question directly.

“Yes. She has a younger brother called Huang Li. We indeed know her,” Boss Zhao said in a low voice.

“Yes, you are right. What’s the matter?” The granny was fairly warm-hearted.

“Are you sure what she wanted to treat was to we three people?” Zheng Xing pointed themselves and asked with an incredible tone.

“Who else could it be? The girl even stopped the little boss specially and talked a long time with him,” the granny said with an affirmative tone.

“That little boss is likewise a person of principles. He first said reservation wasn’t available. But after Huang Ling said something, he finally agreed. Luckily you went there earlier, otherwise you would have broken his rules.” The granny was partial to Huang Ling and Yuan Zhou.

“Thank you. Please accept our gift. We are leaving.” Zheng Xing was slightly absent-minded. He lowered the head and then saw the milk was still in his hand. Only then did he carry the carton up and say to the granny.

“You are welcome. It was merely several words.” The granny didn’t even have time to decline the gift before they left together.

Looking at the back of the three people and then the milk, she muttered to herself, “It’s supposed to be something good.”

After leaving, the three people kept silent all the way. Only after some distance, Lin Cong asked, “Boss, so…?”

“Let’s go to visit her.” Boss Zhao made the decision.

“Ok. You decide.” Zheng Xing echoed.

“Is it really true?” Lin Cong could still remember the appalling scene of the case, therefore he felt it rather incredible.

They experienced the similar encounters for more than one time under the same condition. Whenever they failed in a rescue operation, the family members of the victim would give them no good word although they didn’t argue and quarrel with the police like the scene on TV shows or go to strike them. As for treating them to meals, it was absolutely impossible.

“Don’t guess anymore. We’ll know that after we get there.” Boss Zhao frowned. Obviously, he couldn’t get it clear, either.

It truly made people curious. It wasn’t that they liked being mistreated, but that they had encountered this situation far too many times and thus didn’t dare to believe it happened to them to be contrarily entertained.

The distance wasn’t really far. Besides, they were anxious to get there and hence walked quickly. Just in a little while, they got to the residential building where Huang Ling’s home was. After checking the folder, they knew the sister and brother were living on the second floor right now.
