150 Catching Up with Chief Ye (2/2)
The servant returned with two bowls of noodles with a middle-aged man behind him. After the servant placed down the dishes and returned inside, the middle-aged man approached their table.
The middle-aged man was surprised to see Jiang Xiao Tian as he did not expect to see him there. He immediately bowed and greeted Jiang Xiao Tian. ”Master. You have an instruction for me?”
Jiang Xiao Tian greeted the man and told him that he was looking for a group of people who might have arrived in town earlier today. The man nodded and went out. Jiang Xiao Tian turned to Yang Yun and handed him a pair of chopsticks. ”Eat before your noodle gets cold. Don't worry. We'll get news soon.”
Yang Yun looked at the noodle before him and asked, ”Second Brother, you know who that man is?”
Jiang Xiao Tian replied him with a mysterious smile before he ate his noddle.
Seeing that Second Brother did not want to tell him anything, Yang Yun stared at the bowl. His stomach began to rumble, and he began to eat slowly.
The middle-aged man returned shortly after both Jiang Xiao Tian and Yang Yun finished their meal. He whispered something to Jiang Xiao Tian before he retreated inside the eatery.
”Let's go,” Jiang Xiao Tian said to Yang Yun. ”Chief Ye and the others are staying in an inn at the end of the road.”
Yang Yun nodded. He left some money on the table and went after the Second Brother. When they arrived at the inn, Jiang Xiao Tian went to the counter and exchanged a few words with the receptionist. After Jiang Xiao Tian slipped a piece of silver to the receptionist, the man nodded and went inside.
”They should be here soon,” Jiang Xiao Tian said.
Subconsciously, Yang Yun clenched his hand into a fist. The thought of reuniting with Mingyue made his heart jumped. However, he knew that he should not have too much hope. The Jiang brothers had told him earlier that Chief Ye thought that it would be impossible for them to bring back Mingyue. But Yang Yun could not extinguish the hope in him. It was the only lead he has.
After waiting for a while longer, the receptionist appeared with both Chief Ye and Prince Lu Wei.
Chief Ye looked at her guests with a bit of surprise and curiosity. A frown appeared on the old lady's face when she saw Yang Yun. She walked towards them and greeted Jiang Xiao Tian.
”Commander Jiang, why are you here?” Prince Lu Wei asked. ”Is there anything we can do for you?”
Jiang Xiao Tian glanced at Yang Yun before he explained his reason.
Chief Ye looked at Yang Yun and contemplated. Then, she spoke, ”Let's go to my room. It's not suitable to speak here.”
