Chapter 581: Chapter 580: Lucky Star
Taking advantage of Bi Fang’s work break, Qin Hao strolled around the nearby pedestrian street, but couldn’t find any trace of foreigners.
With no other option, he had to arrive early at the agreed western restaurant, and after reserving a private seat, he sat waiting.
At 6:01 in the afternoon, Bi Fang jogged in.
Somehow, she had changed her shoes, still high heels, but red ones now, at least ten centimeters, making her legs exposed in the hot pants look even longer.
Click, click, click!
The big-breasted beauty strutted elegantly on high heels, captivating many gentlemen dining there.
Qin Hao was eager to know about Qin Ling, too anxious to appreciate Bi Fang’s beauty, stood and waved his hand, shouting, "Fairy Sister, over here."
Bi Fang was indeed looking for someone, and seeing Qin Hao’s face, she smiled brightly, leaving many men entranced.
Click, click, click!
Jogging all the way, Bi Fang slowed down when she got close, twisting her waist and ample behind, fully showcasing her figure’s allure.
Qin Hao smiled politely, pulled out a chair for her, and gestured with a "please" motion.
Bi Fang nodded slightly, and after sitting down, she picked up the menu and pretended to glance over it freely.
Despite her calm appearance, she was incredibly nervous inside.
It was her first time in such a high-end western restaurant.
In a place like the bar, normal girls would typically turn into gold diggers.
But Bi Fang was different; she received a traditional education and held relatively conservative views.
Many men invited her for meals, shopping, or movies, but she always declined outright.
If it weren’t for being very grateful to Qin Hao, she wouldn’t have been prepared to treat, let alone come to such an expensive place.
"This one, this one, and this one... "
Qin Hao was much more carefree, his finger kept moving on the menu, making Bi Fang’s heart race: Handsome, are you a pig!? Can’t you help sis save a bit of money!
When Qin Hao finished ordering exuberantly, Bi Fang’s heart bled painfully, her smile became forced as she pointed to a portion of pork chop, saying, "I’ll just have this."
Qin Hao glanced around the scenery, snuck a look at Bi Fang, realizing she didn’t look too well, and asked, "Fairy Sister, are you not feeling well?"
Bi Fang shook her head like a wave drum, wiped off some unnatural sweat, and laughed, "No, it’s just a bit hot."
Qin Hao glanced at the air conditioning set at 21 degrees and casually said, "Fairy Sister, my name is Qin Hao, what’s yours?"
"Bi Fang."
Bi Fang said, just wanting to find a topic, yet she heard Qin Hao seriously say, "Miss Bi Fang, I have an urgent matter to ask, so I’ll drop the formality. Have you seen this girl recently?"
He took out his phone and handed it over, the screen showing a smiling picture of Qin Ling.
Bi Fang was slightly stunned but still glanced at the photo and after carefully recalling it for a moment, shook her head, "I haven’t seen her."
Qin Hao became a bit anxious, "Think again, maybe you saw her but overlooked it?"
Bi Fang replied seriously, "I meet many people every day. Ordinary guests, I can’t remember. But this girl is so cute, if I’d seen her, I’d definitely remember."
Qin Hao immediately looked disappointed, but not giving up, he asked again, "Have you noticed any foreigners coming to the bar recently?"
Bi Fang rolled her eyes, earnestly replied, "Now that you mention it, I recall something strange. Normally, there aren’t many foreigners around the commercial street, but recently, for some reason, there have been quite a few foreigners going to the bar every day."
Hearing this, Qin Hao felt a slight thrill, his face showing a hint of excitement.
Bi Fang continued, "These foreigners all look quite gloomy; some come to drink, while others come to gather information. Originally, I found it bizarre, but after seeing your photo, I realized: The foreigners looking for information are searching for a Chinese woman!"
"Their description of the woman’s appearance is very similar to the woman in the photo!"
"Really!"
Qin Hao’s eyes widened fully, feeling a slight agitation: It seems finding Bi Fang was the right choice!
He immediately asked, "Do you know where these people are staying?"
"I don’t know."
Bi Fang shook her head. Qin Hao wasn’t surprised, after all, a bartender is not a hotel receptionist, how could they know the hideout of a shady gang?
"Any distinctive features or characteristics? Anyone you remember?"
Bi Fang shook her head baffled, "Honestly, I have face blindness when it comes to foreigners, so I don’t remember clearly."
Qin Hao’s face showed disappointment, thinking it was like he didn’t even ask.
Seeing Qin Hao’s expression, Bi Fang felt quite guilty, then suddenly, a message flashed through her mind, and she said with slight joy, "I remembered, there is a group of foreigners who think my whiskey is authentic and often come to our bar. Once, I heard them say ’zhuài gēn,’ ’máo téng’ in English... they were very excited at the time!"
Zhuài gēn, máo téng?
Having lived abroad and roamed around, Qin Hao, who had fairly decent English skills, surprisingly couldn’t figure out what these words were for a moment.
"Miss, was your English teacher a substitute P.E. teacher?"
Hearing Qin Hao say this, Bi Fang blushed, spat, "Pfft, my family was poor, and I started doing part-time jobs after primary school. I didn’t have the opportunity to study English well, sorry for making a young master like you disappointed."
Qin Hao realized he had upset her, apologized with a face full of remorse, "I’m sorry, I was just too anxious, I didn’t mean to mock, please don’t take it to heart."
Bi Fang wasn’t someone to hold a grudge, nodding, she said, "Just joking, I’m not angry."
At this time, a waiter in uniform came over, serving the dishes ordered by Qin Hao and Bi Fang one by one.
While Qin Hao was looking at the dishes, his eyes unintentionally swept over the logo on the waiter’s uniform, and his mind became enlightened as if struck by lightning.
"This restaurant is called Longye Restaurant, and the logo on the waiter’s uniform is a dragon?"
"Dragon, dragon, zhuài
The next moment, Qin Hao slapped his forehead awake, "Zhuài gēn, dragon (龙), seems like that’s what it is!"
In a reflexive thought, after changing the tone of máo téng, Qin Hao immediately linked it to mountain!
"Dragon Mountain."
Qin Hao murmured to himself, making Bi Fang feel strange, "Dragon Mountain? There’s no such place as Dragon Mountain in Shanghai, but there is a Fulong Mountain..."
"Fulong Mountain!"
Qin Hao immediately stood up, his face slightly flushed with excitement.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Bi Fang was full of curiosity; how did someone who was previously downcast become so animated all of a sudden?
Qin Hao didn’t answer but took out his phone to search the map, and as expected, he found Fulong Mountain a hundred miles outside Shanghai!
Upon zooming into the area, it was a semi-developed region, with many villages around and much more forest area!
"The terrain matches Dragon Gate Mountain from last time! There’s a Dragon Gate Mountain in the Provincial City; there’s Fulong Mountain in Shanghai, how could that be a mere coincidence?"
The more Qin Hao spoke, the more excited he became, rushing over to hug Bi Fang’s shoulders, shouting, "Hahaha, Miss Bi Fang, you’re truly my lucky star, thank you so much!"
