For the next few days, Liu Mingkun appeared in the shop to eat noodles everyday.
However, although there was a smile on his face everyday, he was feeling more and more heavyhearted day by day.
He could naturally see the change in Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang’s relationship.
He was very indignant at this moment.
He was just a little short of time. As long as he interacted with Li Xiao Qing some more, she definitely wouldn’t be able to escape from him.
However, he didn’t expect someone else to appear before that and ruin his plans.
Not only did this person called Luo Ziyang follow Li Xiaoqing around all day long, but from the looks of it, they had already developed feelings for each other.
This realization made Liu Mingkun feel frustrated.
To be honest, he was really indignant.
He usually dealt with those women with ease, but why was Li Xiaoqing such a tough nut to crack?
He had to find a way to sabotage their relationship.
When Yu Peng and Jiao Hang arrived in town, they bought a pile of things they needed for drawing before continuing on their way.
When the two of them arrived at Huang’an Town, which wasn’t far from Huaiqi Village, they rented a small house and stayed there. They didn’t immediately set off for Huaiqi Village.
After a good sleep, Yu Peng felt energetic again.
Yu Peng asked Jiao Hang to buy some food. After filling their stomachs, they started drawing.
After about two hours, Yu Peng finally stopped drawing.
Jiao Hang, who was already dozing off at the side, opened his eyes when he heard this.
Jiao Hang was shocked.
“Oh my god, Yu Peng, you’re really impressive! I didn’t expect you to be such a good drawer!”
Liu Mingkun’s image appeared on the white paper.
From afar, the drawing looked like a living person!
“Why did you draw Liu Mingkun?” Jiao Hang asked in confusion.
“Because it’ll be useful! If you’re sleepy, go in and rest. I still want to draw another painting!” Yu Peng placed the painting on a chair at the side and carefully moved something to press it down so that it would airdry.
Yu Peng moved his sore limbs and rubbed his neck and wrists. Then, he picked up his teacup and took a few sips of tea.
After walking around the courtyard twice and stretching his muscles, Yu Peng went to the bathroom. Then, he returned to the table and continued drawing.
Jiao Hang originally wanted to accompany him, but when he saw these drawings, he couldn’t help but feel sleepy.
He had no choice but to stay in his chair and continue to doze off.
After the second painting was finished, another two hours had passed.
At this moment, the weather outside was extremely hot.
“Jiao Hang, get up! After the painting is dry, we’ll rest. In the afternoon, let’s go to Huang’an Town to ask about this person called Liu Mingkun,” Yu Peng said after shaking Jiao Hang awake.
“Aren’t we here to help Liu Mingkun resolve the conflict between Huaiqi Village and Daxing Village? Why do we have to use Liu Mingkun’s portrait to ask about
him?” Jiao Hang asked in confusion.
“Don’t ask too many questions. Just do as I say. If anyone asks why you’re looking for Liu Mingkun, just say that he toyed with your sister’s feelings and took advantage of her. Say that he impregnated her, but in the end, he left. Fortunately, we have his portrait, so we tracked him all the way there!” Yu Peng explained in detail.
When Jiao Hang heard this, he immediately laughed.
“Yu Peng, you’re full of evil tricks! Aren’t you afraid that Liu Mingkun will come looking for you to settle scores?”
When Yu Peng heard Jiao Hang’s words, he looked at him and said with an exasperated expression, “How do you know that I’m slandering him? Believe it or not, when we find out everything about Liu Mingkun, you’ll realize that everything I said is true!”
Jiao Hang didn’t believe Yu Peng at all.
“Yu Peng, although you’re very smart, I don’t believe you’re that smart!”
“Whatever, but don’t mess up my plans and do what I told you. Find out more about Liu Mingkun. Remember, when you ask around, you must pretend to be very angry. You must look like you want to find Liu Mingkun and avenge your sister!” Yu Peng reminded.
Jiao Hang nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t make any mistakes! I’m not as smart as you, so I’ll do whatever you say!”
Yu Peng nodded, then the two of them put away the painting and went into the house to rest.
After the weather cooled down a little in the afternoon, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang split up and went to inquire about Liu Mingkun.
With an angry expression, Jiao Hang held the portrait and asked everyone he saw about Liu Mingkun.
As for Yu Peng, he went to the best teahouse in town and ordered a pot of tea. Then, he began to listen to the storyteller.
Not long after, Yu Peng called the waiter over.
“There’s something I need your help with! We want to find someone. I wonder where we can get news of him the fastest?”
The waiter laughed when he heard that.
“Sir, you’ve found the right person! There’s a person with the nickname ‘Inquirer’ and he’s the most well-informed person in our town. If you want to find someone, he’s the most suitable person to ask!”
When Yu Peng heard the waiter’s words, he took out a tael of silver.
“Then can I trouble you to tell me where I can find the ‘Inquirer’?”
The waiter understood and quickly took the silver.
“What a coincidence. The ‘Inquirer’ is drinking tea in the teahouse today! Wait a moment. I’ll help you invite him over!”
“Thank you!” Yu Peng cupped his hands and thanked him.
The waiter took the money happily and went to look for the ‘Inquirer’. Yu Peng picked up the teapot and drank his tea.
The tea in this small place wasn’t bad, so he decided to buy some for Mr. Luo and the consort to try.
Before Yu Peng could think it through, footsteps sounded. The waiter who had just gone out walked in with a man with a smile on his face.
The man was dressed casually and chatted with many people along the way.
Seeing this, Yu Peng finally understood why this person was so inquisitive. With his ability to get along with anyone, it would be a pity not to be an inquirer.
The waiter walked in and said, “Sir, I’ve already invited the person over!” “Thank you! Please sit down and chat!” Yu Peng smiled and gestured for him to
sit down..
