Chapter 176 - Exploring the Coffee Shop
Rationality and Zhang Min were very surprised when they heard Zhang Shiyin's question. Zhang Min didn't know why Zhang Shiyin had asked such a question, so she said unhappily, "You damned girl, what do you mean by saying such words? Are you blaming me, your good sister, for not coming to see you in a long time? "
"How could I blame you?" Zhang Shiyin looked at Xu Hong as he spoke. "If I remember correctly, this Mr. Xu has been here more than once, and he comes back every time Li Quan An comes."
Hearing Hong Ze Hua, Li Xiang and Xu Hong's hearts tightened, they never thought that Zhang Shiyin would have such meticulous thoughts, it seemed that she had realised something about Xu Hong following Li Quan An, no wonder that Li Quan An was looking at them like that when he walked past them.
Li Quan An may have sensed that we were following him, so we can conclude that this Zhang Shiyin and Li Quan An must have some sort of secret, so it looks like we need to be careful.
Zhang Shiyin continued to speak: "Li Quan An came again today, and you guys also came along. Are you guys following Li Quan An?"
"Follow him? I think that Owner Zhang must be thinking too much, why would I follow him? I don't even know that Li Quan An, and it's just what I heard from you guys just now, why would I follow him? Xu Hong quickly explained.
Just then, Li Xiang spoke, "Owner Zhang is so concerned, are we following Li Quan An? Is the Owner Zhang related to him in any way? " Li Xiang saw that at this point of time, he could no longer be polite.
Seeing that there was something wrong with his anger, Zhang Min hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He smiled and said: "Sigh! I say, what's the matter with you? Are we going to fight now? Even if it's just a joke, don't be so serious. "
Li Xiang laughed out loud, "Owner Zhang and I were just playing around, I scared the hell out of Sister Zhang, I thought we were going to quarrel, come to Owner Zhang, drink one for our performance."
Li Xiang and Zhang Shiyin both took a sip of their coffee.
"Aiyo, Min Min, did you really think we would quarrel? It's been so many years and you still don't know me?" After which, he chuckled.
Zhang Min felt that she had been played by Li Xiang and Zhang Shiyin, and was immediately unhappy, "Good, you two actually teased me together, you damned girl, are you still my good sister?"
"It's just a joke. You're really angry, petty." Zhang Shiyin said to Zhang Min while laughing.
Li Xiang understood in his heart, Zhang Shiyin was hinting at him just now, he was reminding him that the matter of Xu Hong following Li Quan An had been seen through, it was just that Li Xiang did not know whether these words were directed at him or warning him not to follow anymore.
Regardless of the situation, Li Xiang now completely knew that Zhang Shiyin was indeed not a simple person.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Just then, Xu Hong stood up and said. When he stood up, he gave Li Xiang a meaningful glance.
The moment Xu Hong stepped out of the room, Zhang Shiyin shouted towards the outside, "Xiao Wang, Mr. Xu wants to go to the washroom.
Li Xiang understood what Zhang Shiyin meant. She wanted Xiao Wang to watch over Xu Hong, but why should she let Xiao Wang watch over Xu Hong? Was he afraid that Xu Hong would run around and discover her secret?
Xu Hong went to the bathroom. He looked around, then pulled out a few pieces of paper from the toilet bowl's fat paper and got out through the window.
He used the drainage pipe from the roof of the building to scare off the people on the first floor. Then, he sneaked into the back of the café and entered a corridor.
After walking a short distance, Xu Hong found a small door. Opening it, he found that it was the backyard of the coffee shop.
There were a total of five rooms in the corridor, and he opened them one by one. Inside were the employees' dormitory, each room had four double beds, but in the last room there was only one large double bed and some desks and chairs.
Xu Hong looked at the house carefully and saw that there was a dressing table placed on top of the bed with some of the women's cosmetics. He guessed that this must be Zhang Shiyin's bedroom, if this Zhang Shiyin really had some secrets, she would definitely be able to find some clues here.
Xu Hong closed the door to his room, then took out the paper he took from the toilet and wrapped it around his hand. He then searched around the room, but didn't find anything.
Just as Xu Hong was about to leave, the door was opened by someone. Xu Hong felt that he had hidden under the bed.
Two waiters walked in. They looked around and one of them said, "What are you talking about? Did you hear wrong? Is it possible for thieves to come in during the day?"
Another person scratched his head and said, "I clearly heard a sound coming from inside. Did I hear it wrongly?"
"You must have misheard me. Hurry up and leave. If Ran and the boss find out that we entered her room, they'll scold us."
Another person said without a care, "It's fine, the boss is on the second floor accompanying his friend. Hey, did you know? "Boss, there's a secret room in this room."
"Secret chamber?" How do you know? "
Another person said in a low voice, "I passed by the boss's room when he didn't close the door properly last time. I also heard someone moving things out of the boss's room in the middle of the night several times."
"Moving things out? "What is it?" The man from before seemed surprised.
The other person continued, "I don't know what it is, but several times when I woke up at night I heard a sound. I looked through the crack in the door and saw that the attendants in the two rooms next to ours were carrying some wooden boxes out of the boss's room."
"Do you think that the people in the two rooms next door are all weird? They are fine facing guests during the day, but when they get off work at night, they will put on a stern face as if they owe them money, and don't care about us normally."
"Who knows? Don't say anymore. Hurry up and go, otherwise the boss will scold you." Then they closed the door and left.
Xu Hong came out from under the bed and thought about what the two had said just now. They said that there was a secret room in this room and that someone was moving things out in the middle of the night.
Xu Hong looked around again. He started to search around the room again, trying to find the secret room that the two talked about. However, he couldn't find it even after searching for a long time. Suddenly, she noticed the cabinet in the room and the dressing table at the head of the bed.
Xu Hong walked over and gently moved the cabinet away, but there was only a wall behind the cabinet. Then he went to the dressing table again, but to his surprise he could not understand the little dressing table.
Xu Hong thought, it must be here, he started to search for the mechanism button, but he couldn't find it even after searching for half a day. He looked at the time, he said that he needed to go to the toilet, and it was already quite long since he entered, if he didn't go back now, they would probably be suspicious.
Xu Hong tidied up the dressing table before following the original route back to the second floor.
As soon as Xu Hong entered the room, Zhang Shiyin immediately stood up and joked: "Mr. Xu has been on the toilet for such a long time. He only returned after such a long time, and Mr. Lee even went to visit you just now. He said you were on the main account."
"Right, right. I'm on the main account, so it's a bit long to be alone." Xu Hong said while laughing.
However, Zhang Shiyin continued: "After a while, when I saw that Mr. Xu was not back yet, I told Xiao Wang to go take a look. But Xiao Wang said that Mr. Xu was not in the toilet."
Hearing Zhang Shiyin's words, Xu Hong's heart tensed up, "Oh, it's like this. After I went out to the toilet, I saw that Owner Zhang's shop was well decorated, so I must have spent a lot of money.
"Oh, so that's the case, why is it that Mr. Xu also wants to open a coffee shop?" Zhang Shiyin said in an overbearing manner.
Xu Hong laughed: "If Owner Zhang was willing to give me pointers, I might open a coffee shop like this."
Zhang Shiyin laughed and said: "Mr. Xu is someone who wants to eat at a public restaurant, why are you suddenly thinking of opening a coffee shop? I heard Min Min Min just now that Mr. Xu is interested in working at Police station, why is there a sudden change of heart?"
When Li Xiang saw that Zhang Shiyin had been asking all this, he might even get involved with this naughty Xu Hong later on. If Xu Hong was wrong about anything, it would not be a good thing for them.
Li Xiang laughed and said, "I was wondering why the two of you are always stuck on this problem. Isn't this the Sister Zhang's recommendation? Whether it succeeds or not will depend on the Police station's leader's intentions, what if it fails, my bro should at least think of a second way. "
"I say, are you guys done yet? Don't talk about this anymore," At this time, Zhang Min looked at Zhang Shiyin with a puzzled expression. "Shi Yin, let's talk about something else."
"Alright, alright. Alright, let's talk about what happened later. Let's have a chat happily." Zhang Shiyin looked at Xu Hong again, that gaze seemed to be telling Xu Hong, I have already seen through you, stop acting for me.
Afterwards, they chatted about some random things before leaving.
On the way back, Zhang Min had been silent the entire time, she kept thinking about what had just happened, and she felt that the current Zhang Shiyin had become very unfamiliar, to the point where she didn't recognize him at all.
The Zhang Shiyin in Zhang Min's eyes was a gentle, refined, and gentle girl who had a pure heart. However, the current Zhang Shiyin was completely flat, and became very unfamiliar with him.
Zhang Min did not know what Zhang Shiyin had experienced that caused her to become like this. Could it be that all the people who do business would end up like this? She couldn't understand.
Zhang Min looked at Li Xiang who was driving the car again. She kept having the feeling that Li Xiang treating her to coffee was not that simple, and that she definitely wasn't doing it just for her to join the police force. She kept feeling that Li Xiang was hiding something from her.
From her many years of experience as a police officer, Zhang Min's purpose for treating him to coffee might very well be related to Zhang Shiyin. She thought for a moment, then asked: "Brother Li, is there a reason for you to treat me and coffee today? Is it related to Shi Yin? "
