Chapter 465: Big Water Washes the Dragon King Temple
"Are you kidding me?"
After pulling his hand out of his pocket, looking at the scarf woman in front of him who was looking at him with a hangdog look and didn't even bother to look at him, Li Ang's mood instantly turned bad, and he frowned in protest:
"The portion of the ingredients given today is indeed enough, but it's actually just a spoonful of coffee powder, plus some bread and ham. The cost can't be more than two copper wheels. Selling it so expensive is too dark, right?"
"What?"
Hearing Li Ang's complaint, the scarf woman was stunned for a moment, then turned her head back and questioned with a dark face:
"You said these things are only worth two copper wheels?"
Damn! To prepare this surveillance point across the street, the field team asked for four gold wheels! Just the ingredients and such were reported for two gold wheels. This bunch of dogs really don't want their faces!
"..."
No... you actually got angry first? Is Old Charle's daughter so unreasonable?
Looking at the scarf woman in front of him who was not good, Li Ang, who was slaughtered as a sucker early in the morning, also had a fire in his heart, and said with a dark face:
"Of course it's not worth it! I've eaten at this stall several times, and I can barely count as an old customer. I should know what the price of things is roughly, right?"
"You got it wrong, right?"
The scarf woman frowned:
"Where did the old customer come from? I just opened the stall today!"
"..."
Ah? Just opened today? So you are not Old Charle's daughter?
Finding that he had recognized the wrong stall and made a joke, Li Ang's momentum couldn't help but falter, but thinking of the sky-high price of one silver wheel, he couldn't help but argue:
"Even if you are not the same stall, selling these things for one silver wheel is too expensive."
"Hmm!"
The corner of her eye swept across the building across the street, and finding that someone seemed to be looking out in the target's room, the scarf woman hurriedly shrank into the tent, pretending to be entertaining guests, and chatted absent-mindedly:
"Then how much is appropriate? You say a price!"
"..."
Ah this... directly let me name the price? Are you doing business so casually?
Stunned by the Bandage Woman's bizarre actions, Li Ang tentatively spoke up:
"As for the price... I ate these at other stalls before, and they all charged two copper wheels, but you gave enough ingredients, and the stove fire is burning hot..."
"Then I'll charge two copper wheels too!"
"..."
After waiting for a few seconds without hearing Li Ang talk, the scarf woman finally withdrew her gaze looking across the street, and said impatiently:
"Still think it's expensive? Then..."
"No, no, this price is fine..."
For the scarf woman's business philosophy, Li Ang had completely nothing to say.
Raising his hand to make a stop gesture, stopping the other party from continuing to lower the price, Li Ang honestly sat back in his seat and ate his breakfast without tasting it.
This person's business is done so... it's simply like a joke, and she doesn't look at people when she speaks, always looking across the street...
Could she be some kind of detective catching a mistress, a criminal acting as a lookout for her accomplices, or perhaps a secret police officer keeping watch?
Although generally speaking, it's unlikely to meet such a coincidence, Li Ang felt more and more that this woman who used a scarf to block the lower half of her face was wrong everywhere. At the very least, she didn't look like a coffee stall owner at all. "Guest!"
Keenly noticing Li Ang's gaze and reading some suspicion from his eyes, the scarf woman's attention was finally pulled back, her beautiful and heroic almond eyes narrowed slightly, and the extremely oppressive gaze covered over instantly.
"You have been looking at me? May I ask if there is anything else you need?"
"Uh... no..."
Feeling a bit hairy in his heart from being stared at, and staring at others is indeed impolite, Li Ang could only apologize vaguely, then turned his head away, chewing the bread in his mouth while looking at the street absent-mindedly.
To be fair, if this Bandage Woman really is keeping watch, then she's likely either waiting for someone to pass by this street or observing the building across the way.
If he remembers correctly, the building across the way seems to be the staff quarters for the Tung Oil Factory, but after the factory went bankrupt, the bottom four floors were leased out to open apartments.
It's just because the location is slightly remote and it's noisy on the street, the business has always been bad, and most of the houses on the first and second floors are often empty.
So if the Bandage Woman really is keeping watch, considering that looking up from below would be obstructed, if she's on the third or fourth floor, she should be monitoring from a higher vantage point; her target must be the residents on the first or second floor...
Hmm? Wait! Why is that window on the second floor open? And...
"Guest!"
Accompanied by a cold drink, a pair of round and tight long legs entered Li Ang's line of sight, instantly blocking the situation of the building across the street tightly.
Li Ang followed those legs upward, passing over the woman's slender, graceful waist and the pair of bountiful fruits tied to the thin branches, and caught sight of a pair of eyes filled with biting chill.
"What are you looking at?"
Blocking the line of sight between the other party and the target residence to prevent him from signaling the target, looking at this man who first used words to entangle and test, then repeatedly examined her, and even frequently looked at the target's location, the coldness in the scarf woman's eyes suddenly flourished, and her voice was cold and hard:
"Or rather... what exactly are you looking at?"
"..."
Good grief! You really are keeping watch!
Looking at the scarf woman who was equal to directly lighting up her identity, and even suspected him, Li Ang couldn't help but frown.
When this woman glares at someone, the aura about her is as sharp as a knife. She doesn't look like a detective catching a mistress, and she certainly couldn't be one of those petty thieves acting as a lookout; she's likely seen blood.
Anyone in the entire Wang Gong with this kind of aura who is also doing surveillance work is either from the military's special forces, a secret police officer from the Police Bureau, or perhaps even a rebel planning an attack, and these three types of people are each more troublesome than the last...
Just when Li Ang was hesitating whether to take out the Cleanup Bureau's certificate and bet that she was not a rebel but half a "person of his own," a roar suddenly came from the direction of the building across the street.
"Where are the people?!"
Li Ang looked up along the sound and found a scarred strong man with blue veins on his face poking his head out of the second-floor window, roaring angrily toward this side:
"Where did the person go! Yisha!!! Is this how you keep watch for me?"
?!!!
"I know it sounds a bit unbelievable, but I really just wanted to buy a cup of coffee..."
After being escorted into the interrogation room of the Police Department and handcuffed to a chair, Li Ang looked at the secret police who were eyeing him covetously, and could only helplessly raise his chin toward the scarf woman.
"It's not that I had to entangle her, mainly because I ordered a cup of coffee and two slices of bread, and she actually wanted me to pay a silver wheel! This price is enough to buy half a ham, okay?
My money didn't come from the wind, I also have to earn it hard. If you met such an outrageous situation early in the morning, could you bear not to argue with her?"
