Chapter 1093: The man was released from prison (1)

Translator: DaoistLUbAbJ

It could be seen that the old lady was a chatterbox. After telling Lu Benlai what she knew about Lu Benlai.., she even told him a strange thing. “Did you know? That girl is so beautiful. She should be around twenty-six or twenty-seven now, right? “She might be even older… logically speaking, when one reaches the age of marriage, there are quite a number of people who come to their house to introduce their marriage to her. But for some reason, her mother directly rejected them, saying that their daughter doesn’t want to get married. She even said that as long as their daughter is happy, she doesn’t need to get married. Isn’t it silly of you to say that? What woman doesn’t want to get married…”

The more Lu Benlai listened, the more suspicious he felt.

When he asked the old lady again, the old lady shook her head and said, “I don’t know anymore. No matter how many things there are, I don’t know anymore.”.

Lu Benlai could tell that the old lady was not deliberately hiding anything. She just asked where Leng Nuan and her family moved from. The old lady could not explain clearly, but judging from her accent, she might be from s city.

Lu Benlai saw that he really could not get much out of her, so he thanked the old lady and returned to the hotel.

Then, he asked his secretary to continue investigating. Because it had been too long, it had indeed taken a lot of effort to find out Leng Nuan’s hometown.

The old lady was right. Leng Nuan was indeed from s city, but it was just a town below s city.

Lu Benlai felt that the answers he wanted should all be in Leng Nuan’s hometown, so he asked his secretary to book a high-speed train ticket and rushed to that town.

The small town was actually quite beautiful, with beautiful mountains and clear rivers. Apart from the inconvenient transportation, there were almost no other shortcomings.

After Lu Benlai arrived at the small town, it was already midnight. He found a guest house and stayed there. When he chatted with the owner of the guest house, he asked if there were any older shops in the small town. Then, he learned about the roast chicken shop on the west side of the town, it had been open for several generations.

Lu Benlai understood that in a small town like this, every family would know what happened to their family. Therefore, the longer one stayed here, the more likely one would know about what happened ten years ago.

The next morning, Lu Benlai went to the chicken restaurant. He did not beat around the bush and said that he was from Beijing. He wanted to know more about the situation, so he called out Leng Nuan’s name.

When the lady boss of the chicken restaurant heard the name Leng Nuan, she immediately asked, “Do you know that girl? Is she doing well now? Is she still as silly as before?”

Was Leng Nuan silly?

Lu Benlai was puzzled, but he still said truthfully, “I know her. We were university classmates. She’s doing quite well now. She works at a very good foreign company in Beijing.”

When the lady boss heard this, she immediately smiled as if she was very pleased. “That’s really a good thing. I was really afraid that the girl would be destroyed just like that.”

Destroyed?

Lu Benlai could not help but ask, “Why do you say that? Also, I think she’s quite smart. Why do you call her stupid?”

“She is smart. She used to be the smartest child in our town. She could sing and dance well. Her mother was in the drama academy and taught her how to play the piano well… she even represented our town to take the exam and got a very good result… let me tell you, her family lives right across from our shop. Do you see that two-story building? That was her house back then. After that incident with Nuan, her family sold the land and bought their land. Now, they are quite rich and their buildings are magnificent…”
