Chapter 194: Chapter 92: Got the Teng Flavor
North City, train station.
A girl sits by the flowerbed in the square, without any luggage beside her. She has been sitting on this flowerbed for a whole day.
And she is Elliana Lyle, who hurried to North City from Wyen. When she arrived this morning, Luna said that unexpected guests came to her home and suggested she stay at a hotel for now.
But Elliana was out of money and felt too embarrassed to tell Luna, so she could only sit woodenly by the flowerbed and wait.
The sky was almost dark now. Although it wouldn’t be too cold outside in the summer, she had never slept on the street before and was still scared inside.
Her phone was also dead, and she had no idea where she should go. She wanted to eat something because she was starving.
Her stomach ached intensely, like her intestines were wrestling with each other. At this moment, she began to regret her decision to come to North City.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help crying. She had always lived in a backward city like Wyen and never been to a big city.
The neon lights in the big city were beautiful, and people dressed nicely, but none of this belonged to her or could be said that she didn’t belong here.
At this moment, a patrolling security guard walked up to her, "Young lady, I’ve seen you sitting here all day. Do you need any help?"
Perhaps she was truly hungry, and her first response was, "Uncle, I’m hungry..."
"Hungry?" The security guard was a bit surprised, then, seeing the girl’s awkward expression, he didn’t say much more and directly said, "Wait here, I’ll get you a cup of instant noodles."
After the security guard left, Elliana kept watching him go to the convenience store. Despite the bustling crowd, she never lost sight of the security guard.
Because she knew she would soon have something to eat. For a moment, she couldn’t help but swallow and began to feel grateful to the security guard.
A few minutes later, the security guard came towards her with a cup of freshly made pepper-flavored noodles, finally handing it to her.
The aroma of the instant noodles teased her stomach, which growled as if urging her to take a bite.
The security guard said, "Be careful, it’s hot, made with boiling water."
Hearing this, she cautiously blew the noodles and took a bite. This bite was like a delicacy from heaven, giving her the illusion of tasting the most delicious food in the world.
A few minutes later, after she finished off the last sip of soup, the security guard finally asked, "Are you lost? Or were you meeting a friend, and they didn’t show up?"
"I..." For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain, stammering for a while before saying, "I’m here to find my sister, but my phone died, so I can’t call."
Upon hearing this, the security guard immediately took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to her, saying, "Go ahead, call her. It’s so late at night, you can’t stay here alone."
Looking at the phone within reach, she hesitated for a moment but took it, saying, "Thank you..."
Looking at the dial pad on the phone, she hesitated again. She didn’t want to call the so-called sister because she considered her sister a disgrace...
But on second thought, her sister hadn’t done anything wrong; instead, she had taken care of the whole family.
Seeing her hesitation, the security guard quickly said, "Can’t remember the number? Let’s go inside; there’s a shared charger, charge it first."
Finally, the security guard scanned a shared power bank for her. As soon as the phone powered on, she felt even more anxious.
She didn’t believe her sister would come to pick her up, especially since she had said so many harsh words before... Now, she seemed to understand her sister’s feelings at that time.
The security guard said, "Remember to return the power bank. I’ll go patrol now. If you need anything, come find me."
"Okay, thank you, uncle. You go ahead," she said.
Looking at her sister’s contact, she finally pressed the call button.
...
--- Subzero Community.
A black car was wandering nearby, struggling to find a parking space. The underground parking was full at night, and the roadside was also packed.
Luna spotted an empty spot and said, "Isn’t that one available? Park there."
Elliana Lyle took a look at the space between the two cars, and her car seemed to just fit in. She immediately shook her head, "It’s too narrow; I can’t park there."
"Silly! Keep about 1 meter distance from the car in front, and align your car parallel," Luna instructed.
"Oh!" Elliana followed Luna’s instructions and then asked, "What’s next?"
"Put it in reverse!"
Just parking took several minutes. Luna was a little curious and asked, "How did you get your driver’s license?"
"Through the test, of course. I was really good at reversing into a garage..."
After entering the community, Luna led the way and the two stopped at a security door, where Luna rang the doorbell.
After several rings, someone finally opened the door; it was a chubby man wearing a loose white T-shirt.
Luna wasn’t surprised at all and directly asked the man who opened the door, "Is Bella here?"
The man was puzzled and shook his head, "I don’t know, I have a female roommate, but I don’t know her name. You can come in and check yourself."
Then, the two entered the room. The man pointed at a bedroom and said, "That’s the room." After saying that, he returned to the table to continue eating.
Knock, knock, knock!
Luna whispered in her ear, "If the door opens, rush in."
"Huh? What if we have the wrong person?"
"My information can’t be wrong."
A voice came from inside, "Is there something you need?" Followed by the sound of the door opening!
At the moment the door opened, Luna cheerfully said, "Bella, we’re here!"
While Bella was in a daze, the two successfully entered her room and casually shut the door.
Bella was an alluring woman, exuding a charm like a vixen.
She wore a red slip dress, seductive yet not vulgar.
"Who are you two?" Seeing that they were two little girls, Bella wasn’t scared at all. Her first reaction was that they had the wrong person.
Luna sat directly on her bed and said, "I want to ask you some things. Answer them one by one, and I’ll give you twenty thousand."
Hearing the sum of twenty thousand, Bella’s first reaction was to agree; she had no resistance to money.
Because she needed money, urgently.
But she found it ridiculous. Two girls wanted to ask questions and pay her?
After thinking for a moment, she immediately understood why these two girls were here. Probably they were daughters of a client, coming to question her.
She chuckled softly, "Little sisters, what do you want to ask?"
Elliana Lyle frowned at this moment. Although the room was clean and tidy, it had a smell of smoke. Upon closer inspection, there was an ashtray filled with cigarette butts on the computer desk.
Luna wasted no time and directly asked, "Do you know her?" then handed over a photo.
Bella took the photo, a frivolous smile on her lips, but when she saw the person in the photo, she furrowed her brows and, after looking closely, said, "I don’t know her."
"Really?" Luna retrieved the photo. It was strange that she hadn’t seen any useful information from Bella’s expression, as if she truly didn’t know the person.
While Luna was questioning, Elliana Lyle stood at the door, examining everything in the room, and finally looked at the poster behind the door.
The yellowed poster felt out of sync with the entire room’s decor; the tape holding it up was curling, indicating it had been there for years.
Taking a closer look at the girl group on the poster, her pupils suddenly contracted!
