Capítulo 790: 481 Old men have many problems? Eavesdropping in the corner like a silly fool

Day and night alternated, and by the time the streetlights first came on, the car gradually entered the downtown area, ultimately underestimating the congestion of the evening rush hour.

“Traffic jams in Pingjiang weren’t this severe before.” Tang Wan looked through the rearview mirror, saw the car behind still closely following, then turned to look back, “Auntie, that girl who acted bravely last time, you have her contact, right?”

Shen Shuci nodded.

“I want to thank her, but there hasn’t been a chance, why don’t we invite her as well? We’ll be heading back to Beijing soon and might not have another opportunity,” Tang Wan said outright.

“That day she was shaking with fear, clearly not very brave, yet she dared to step forward and shield someone from a knife; she does have some courage.”

“There are many people today, and it’s lively; you talk to her about it.”

Shen Shuci nodded, took out her phone, and dialed the other person.

Unexpectedly, the other party declined due to still being at work.

“At work?” Tang Wan frowned slightly, “She looks young, I thought she was a student.”

Shen Shuci’s phone vibrated again soon after, receiving a message: “Thank you for the invitation, I acted impulsively at that time, it can’t really be considered bravery or courage, please don’t worry about it.”

She pursed her lips, just about to reply when Jiang Jinsang announced they had reached their destination.

After parking the car, they waited for a while by the entrance, but by that time the designated parking spots were full. The restaurant had hastily marked a small area, though the space was tight and difficult to park in.

“If your friends can’t find parking, we can help,” the waiter had been waiting outside.

Jiang Chengsi stood on the second floor and could just see the first floor, holding a teacup and examining that parking spot…

“This restaurant really makes the most out of its space; such a small area, it’s really hard for most people to maneuver into,” he had just seen a car owner take about seven or eight minutes to barely squeeze in.

Huo Qinqi had arrived more than ten minutes earlier and was sitting at a table playing Minesweeper.

He watched as a car slowly approached, directed by the waiter toward the parking spot, and the person inside looked out…

It was a female driver.

Jiang Chengsi squinted his eyes, she looked somewhat familiar, but from his high vantage point, he couldn’t see clearly.

He thought it would take about ten or more minutes for her to park, but just as he lowered his head to sip his tea, and his gaze left for a few seconds, she had…

Parked it!

Her movements were quick and smooth, completed in one go without any hesitation—it was either good luck or sheer dumb luck.

Tang Wan and others were right beside her and were also stunned. So efficient?

She was dressed in a cheongsam today, tinted orange, which could easily look unflattering on someone else’s complexion, making the skin look darker or unsophisticated. When she got out of the car, she even purposefully changed into a pair of high heels, and her earrings were also well matched.

Meticulous, down to every small detail.

“You all go ahead inside, no need to wait for me outside,” she said politely.

“We haven’t been waiting long, let’s go inside,” Tang Wan was closest to her, walking shoulder to shoulder, while Jiang Jinsang and Shen Shuci followed behind.

Jiang Jinsang caught her continually tugging at her dress out of the corner of his eye and slightly raised an eyebrow, “Are you alright?”

“No, nothing,” Shen Shuci was not used to wearing it, feeling awkward.

…

When the group reached the private room, Shen Shuci had just entered, and immediately saw Huo Qinqi.

He looked at Jiang Chengsi.

“What are you looking at me for?” Jiang Chengsi was clueless.

“They’re here, why didn’t you tell me?”

For Jiang Chengsi, who lacked a girlfriend, he naturally wouldn’t understand the need of a boyfriend to go downstairs to greet his date.

After the incident with Liang Wenzhong last time, the people in this room were all fairly acquainted with each other, except Jiang Chengsi and this particular guest; Tang Wan obviously needed to introduce them.

“Fourth Brother, let me introduce you, this is my friend, last name Xiao…” Tang Wan didn’t even know her real name; even the last time they went to the police station, she was questioned alone by the police and left quietly.
