Chapter 270: Zong Long's Business Card

All right, all right.

After speaking, he merely gave a light nod, and eventually said nothing more.

The two waited outside until after midnight, around two a. m., when they finally saw that group stagger out.

Hey, look at them—they seem to be by the road, preparing to hail a taxi.

Exactly, we'll wait a bit for them; once they get in the car, we'll follow. Besides, I think these three probably live together.

Live together?

Right, I have that feeling. No, we'll let you see—quick, they've already started walking.

To be honest, he pointed ahead, and Zong Mengni got into the car, tailing the taxi closely.

Because it was late at night, there was hardly anything on the surrounding roads.

The two cars remained one behind the other on the road, keeping that formation.

Now, this place has already entered the suburbs.

Exactly, we came here to see if this is the same place we visited last time.

After arriving here, Zong Mengni felt a sense of déjà vu.

He had been brought here by a suspect before, and he never imagined they'd bring it back again.

Judging by that, I'd guess they live in a nearby village.

He then saw the taxi turn onto a small path and stop at the village entrance.

Quick, turn off the engine and then switch off the lights.

Xiao Yunzhe said from the side.

Zong Mengni hastily parked the car in a certain spot, then turned off the engine and lights.

He saw the three people stagger out of the car again, then walk into a courtyard, after which there was no further movement.

Did you see? They probably live here.

Stay in the car for now; I'll go check.

Yun Zhe, you shouldn't go—if they really notice you in the middle of the night, that'll be trouble.

Heh, don't worry, it won't happen—you haven't seen how drunk those three are? Could I not handle a few drunks? Just wait here patiently for me.

After Xiao Yunzhe finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out.

He looked left and right; given the hour and being in a village, every household had long since fallen asleep.

Xiao Yunzhe walked to the courtyard gate, peered inside, saw the lights were on, and then gently pushed the door.

Xiao Yunzhe didn't expect the three to be really drunk; after entering, they forgot to lock the door.

The gate was thus pushed open, and he quietly walked into the courtyard.

This should be a farmhouse courtyard; it looks fairly tidy inside, suggesting those three don't often stay here.

He had taken just two steps forward when he heard snoring coming from inside.

Xiao Yunzhe merely shook his head helplessly; it seems alcohol really is a potent sleeping aid.

He went to the doorway, listened carefully, detected no other unusual sounds, and then quietly pushed open the room door.

Upon entering, Xiao Yunzhe noticed a strong foot odor in the room.

One might ask, three men living together—this is probably quite normal.

Xiao Yunzhe merely furrowed his brow, then covered his nose and mouth with his hand.

The room was in utter disarray, with beer and liquor bottles scattered all over the floor.

Looks like they're three heavy drinkers who treat alcohol like life.

Afterwards, he glanced at the three: two were asleep on the beds, the other on the sofa, all already dead asleep.

He took a closer look; the table still had some leftover rice, some of which had begun to mold.

He figured there was likely nothing valuable to find in the room, and prepared to turn and leave.

But just as he turned, he suddenly saw a white cloth bundle placed in the corner.

Given the surrounding filth, that white cloth bundle formed a stark contrast.

Feeling something odd, he walked over and picked up the bundle.

On it were the words "Star Prosper Asia Company" in large characters.

He hastily picked up the bundle, glanced inside, and found a business card.

Finally, he quickly pulled out the card to look; upon seeing the person's name on it, he indeed felt curious.

Zong Long? How could his business card be here?

Xiao Yunzhe merely reached out, then stuffed the item into his pocket and hurriedly left the courtyard under cover of night.

After getting in the car, he glanced left and right; it seemed his actions hadn't been noticed by anyone else.

Drive on, we'll talk after we reach the city.

Zong Mengni, waiting in the car, didn't know what had happened, but since he said that, he just needed to follow his instructions.

Finally, the car headed toward the urban area once again.

How was it? What's the situation inside? I saw you go in just now, and I've been anxiously waiting outside.

Heh, I already said they were drunk, so they didn't lock the door; I took a look around their rooms.

Oh, you went into their rooms? That's too risky, Yun Zhe—you mustn't do that again.

Zong Mengni said that, then slammed on the brakes and pulled the car over to the roadside.

Then he turned his head, anxiously looking at Xiao Yunzhe and said.

It's fine, didn't I say? They're all drunk out, sleeping like dead pigs—how could they make any noise?

But that's still not okay; I can't let you endanger yourself over this—I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life.

Hehe, it's fine, I'm doing okay, right? By the way, do you know what happened to me in there?

Oh, what did you discover?
