Chapter 354.1: Phoenix Store (1/2)
Her guess had been right on the mark! Liu Da’s family lived outside of Huai City!
This meant that she had hope for getting out of the city!
Of course, she hadn’t been guessing blindly. When she had been taking off Liu Da’s shoes earlier, she found that he had hidden banknotes in his shoes. Would a normal patrol guard have something like banknotes?
So Tang Doudou’s conjecture was that he had probably accumulated this sum since he didn’t go home often.
Since her guess had now been confirmed, the following matters would be much easier to carry out. As for her actions being suspicious, she was sure that this supervisor would deal with that for her.
“Supervisor, to tell the truth, I’ve been wanting to go back for a long time, but I never had the chance to tell you. There’s one more matter that I feel like I need to tell you.”
When the supervisor saw her mysterious and hesitant manner, he couldn’t help but become curious.
He did have a slight impression of Liu Da. He was very timid and weak, so the higher ups didn’t have much hopes in him. He didn’t command much respect from the newcomers either and would often get bullied.
After rumors about him running into a ghost spread, some people were saying that Liu Da was off the hinges. When he heard this, he thought that Liu Da may have become unhinged due to being in such depressing circumstances for so long.
That was why he had come to take a look for himself. After seeing this, he felt that it wasn’t as bad as they’ve made it out to be. However, he clearly hadn’t gotten any smarter. The higher ups were the ones that formed the patrol group. If a member hadn’t commit some great offense, who would dare to casually fire a member?
He was the supervisor, but he was only in charge of managing these youngsters and really didn’t have much power. When he saw the higher ups, he’d still have to grovel and curry favor with them.
“Just say it! Stop dawdling like an old lady, I still have to go patrol!”
“Supervisor, actually, I know where Li Xueyi is!” Tang Doudou had glanced around cautiously before leaning close to the supervisor and whispering this.
The moment she said this, the supervisor hastily covered her mouth and shouted harshly, “Shut up! What nonsense are you saying!? Don’t try my patience, I’ll beat you to death!”
Tang Doudou was dumbfounded when he started yelling at her. Normally, shouldn’t he be happy to hear this news?
But he was practically choking her to death, how hateful!
When the supervisor saw that Tang Doudou didn’t struggle, he hastily released her. “You little brat! You’re seriously hanging the god of longevity! You feel like life is too long? So you’re seeking death?”
A trace of hesitation flashed through his eyes. “How about this, it’s fine if you want to go back. When we go patrol later, you can head straight out of the city. Make sure to bring your luggage.”
Tang Doudou asked delightedly, “Really?”
“Would I lie to you?” The supervisor paused for a minute, then whispered, “Was what you said earlier true?”
Tang Doudou was well aware that if she didn’t give the supervisor some concrete proof now, this tactic would end up backfiring and he might even start suspecting her, so she said, “Earlier, I saw a bamboo tube in the well over there. Inside was…”
The supervisor immediately made a hush movement, then whispered, “Take me there.”
“Understood!”
