“Liu Jing’s disappearance isn’t that simple.” Yin Tao really hoped to get some clues from Jiang Xing.
Jiang Xing was silent for a moment before he slowly said, “1 know someone. She treated Liu Jing quite well previously. I should be able to get something out of her. However, why are you so concerned about Liu Jing?”
Although Feng Jing and Yin Tao didn’t completely trust Jiang Xing, he had no reason to lie to them about Liu Jing.
Although Yin Tao didn’t deliberately hide her profession from Jiang Xing, with his intelligence, he might really not know their true identities.
Yin Tao recalled that Liang Yi had helped Liu Jing before. She thought for a moment and explained to Jiang Xing, “One of Liu Jing’s friends asked us for help. After all, going missing is not a small matter.”
Feng Jing didn’t care if Jiang Xing knew his true identity. However, Feng Jing couldn’t be bothered to explain to such a simple-minded person.
“Then 1 can bring you guys to see Sister Ling. She was close to Liu Jing previously. That’s about all I can do to help.” Jiang Xing had to admit that he still liked Yin Tao. He actually didn’t know how to refuse Yin Tao when she needed help from him.
“Thank you very much then.” Yin Tao had interacted with Jiang Xing many times. Although he was a little frivolous, he wasn’t a heinous person. Yin Tao was willing to believe him this once.
Under Jiang Xing’s lead, Feng Jing and Yin Tao arrived at a hidden tavern. Unlike the usual lively and noisy bars, there were not many people in this tavern, and the environment was relatively quiet. Most of the customers were drinking alone, and the ambience was peaceful.
“Young Master Jiang, what would you like to drink today?” The waiter here seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Xing. When he saw him walk over, he naturally picked up a cocktail glass.
“We won’t be drinking today. We have something to discuss with Sister Ling.” Feng Jing and Yin Tao, who were standing behind Jiang Xing, sized up the environment here. However, they didn’t notice anything unusual. This was a very ordinary tavern.
“Sister Ling is in the lounge. Shall I ask her to come over?” The waiter also noticed that Jiang Xing had brought two people with him, but he treated them as Jiang Xing’s friends and wasn’t too surprised.
“No need. We’ll go and see her.” Jiang Xing brought Yin Tao and Feng Jing to the corridor at the back of the tavern.
Yin Tao was a little surprised as she asked Jiang Xing, “Do you come here often?”
“Sister Ling and 1 are considered friends. She’s the boss here. I come over occasionally.” Actually, Jiang Xing preferred the lively bars outside. Although the wine here was not bad, the atmosphere was a little lousy in his opinion.
Yin Tao, on the other hand, liked the environment here and felt that the tavern owner would be a person with good taste.
“Sister Ling.” Walking to the door of a small room at the end of the corridor, Jiang Xing knocked on the door and called out.
Soon, the door was opened. However, what surprised Yin Tao and Feng Jing was that Sister Ling, the owner of the tavern, appeared to be in her thirties.
Sister Ling seemed to know that the person outside the door was Jiang Xing, but when she saw Yin Tao and Feng Jing behind him, her expression became much more nervous.
“They are?”
“Oh, this is Xiaotao, my friend.” Jiang Xing had no intention of introducing Feng Jing. After all, he didn’t like him no matter what.
“Why are you looking for me? You should just bring your friends to the front for a drink.” Sister Ling’s expression was very calm. It was impossible to tell if she was angry or happy.
“I’m sorry, Sister Ling. We actually came here today to ask you for a favor.” Yin Tao could tell that the woman was very guarded, so she had to state her intentions upfront.
“Come in and have a seat.” Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Sister Ling could only open the door to the lounge.
“However, if this is an issue that even Young Master Jiang can’t solve, 1 probably won’t be of much help as a mere tavern owner.” Sister Ling sized up Feng Jing and Yin Tao. She thought they were very good looking.
“Sister Ling, did you know that Jingjing is missing?” As soon as Jiang Xing said this, the entire room instantly fell silent.
Feng Jing noticed that Sister Ling was obviously nervous after hearing Liu Jing’s name. With his many years of experience, Feng Jing was almost certain that this woman had something to do with Liu Jing’s disappearance.
“How would 1 know?” Sister Ling concealed the surprise in her heart and said to Jiang Xing with a smile, “1 think you forced her into a corner and she is deliberately avoiding you, right?”
