However, the withdrawal of people from the black market this easily was indeed beyond her expectations.
Afterwards, Liang Haoming and Liang Yuening, each wearing a hat with a large brim, followed behind Dong Huiying as they all exited together.
Hong Xiangjun, having been stifled for several days, was also restless, so the four of them moved together.
The primary goal for Dong Huiying and the other two was to seek out information about Liang Shujun everywhere, but Jun City was simply too vast and populous, which made their progress challenging. As for Hong Xiangjun, she appeared mysteriously busy, occasionally breaking away from the group without any clear indication of what she was up to.
Nevertheless, after observing a few times, Dong Huiying gradually came to understand.
It seemed that Hong Xiangjun was also searching for someone’s whereabouts? A man, to be precise, and whenever she mentioned him, her expression was one of urgency. Moreover, she freely scattered handfuls of silver for information of questionable veracity, without the slightest sign of pain.
And her expression fluctuated, at times sad, at times nostalgic, at times angry, and at times resentful. It was a true mix of bittersweet emotions...
Dong Huiying had no interest in prying into others’ private affairs; her attention was quickly caught by a new discovery.
"Young Master Li is looking for a man with a scar on his face?" Street rumors were rampant, a melting pot of society’s various classes.
When Dong Huiying learned of this, she instinctively turned to look at Liang Haoming.
Liang Haoming wore a hat that obscured his face, but he had a scar on his face.
She asked in a low voice, "Do you know anyone from the Li family?"
Liang Haoming blankly shook his head.
Dong Huiying lingered in place, hesitating. Young Master Li was looking for Liang Haoming, but she didn’t know what the other party intended. However, she could have been mistaken after all. The world was full of men with facial scars, not only Liang Haoming.
"Eh, Sister Xiao Dong?" A hearty voice came from behind, and turning around, she saw Tie Hailan shaking a golden fan, walking with swagger toward her.
She twitched her lips slightly, "Lady Tie."
Tie Hailan’s eyes shone brightly, "I thought you had gone back already, Sister. To run into you again in Jun City today, what a coincidence. Since you’re here, why didn’t you come to my place for a visit?"
"Heh heh?" Dong Huiying gave a dry laugh.
Just then, Tie Hailan suddenly glanced behind Dong Huiying.
"Tsk!" She clicked her tongue in her mind, wondering if the Liang family specialized in producing oddities?
The actor Phoenix Blood, whose real name was Liang Shujun, was indeed very tall, while Dong Huiying herself was quite petite.
And these two wearing hats? Even though their faces were hidden, judging by their stature, they must be the Liang Family Brothers, right?
"Come, come, come, it’s not every day we meet. Today I’ll play host, let me treat you to some roast duck!"
Tie Hailan hooked her arm around Dong Huiying’s neck and began leading her towards a restaurant.
The Liang Family Brothers exchanged glances, and the hot-tempered Liang Yuening quickly stepped forward. He grabbed Dong Huiying’s hand and forcefully pushed Tie Hailan away.
Tsk, such a brusque tone.
Tie Hailan was not alone; a row of sturdy female Protectors followed behind her. Seeing Liang Yuening’s aggressive move, with a clang, these Protectors drew their swords.
