Yalili explained.
"Because of last night's events, I paid extra attention to the vehicles behind me when I came to work today, and I actually spotted a car following mine all the way to the company."
"At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but I kept a careful watch and found that the people who got out of the car did indeed go to the front desk to ask for my information. I also saw them standing by the entrance when I just came over."
As Yalili spoke, she couldn't help but glance towards the entrance, her expression instantly changing.
"Brother Li, it's those two! The one with the yellow hat and the one next to him!"
Li Chonglou turned his head. The two men happened to be peeking over, and their eyes met immediately.
The two men were not old, at most in their early twenties. Upon realizing they had been discovered, a trace of panic flashed across their faces, and they quickly moved away.
Although there was some distance, Li Chonglou clearly saw the change in their expressions. His brows immediately furrowed.
Someone was indeed tailing Yalili!
"You wait for me here. If anything happens, call the police immediately!"
There were many people in the coffee shop, and Li Chonglou wasn't too worried about Yalili running into trouble there. So, after giving her instructions, he immediately chased after them.
Although he couldn't use his heavenly eye penetration divine ability, Li Chonglou did possess skills related to reconnaissance. After leaving the coffee shop, he followed the direction the two men had gone. Not far away, he found an alleyway to his side, and Li Chonglou, without hesitation, walked into it.
It was an alleyway, but there were shops on both sides. It was just that the area was relatively secluded, which was why Li Chonglou judged that the two men had likely entered here.
After walking for about tens of meters, Li Chonglou suddenly saw the figures of the two men in a tea house.
Unfortunately, they had also spotted him. By the time he chased them inside, they had already left through another exit.
The other exit of the tea house faced the main street, with people coming and going. By the time Li Chonglou rushed out, the men had already vanished.
With no other choice, he had to return to the tea house to ask the owner.
"Are you asking about Xiaoping?"
As soon as Li Chonglou mentioned the man with the yellow hat, the tea house owner recognized him. However, when Li Chonglou tried to inquire about this man named Xiaoping, the tea house owner chuckled.
"I'm sorry, we keep the privacy of every customer confidential here. It's impossible for us to do..."
Before the tea house owner could finish speaking, Li Chonglou took out a wad of cash from his pocket. This money had been forced upon him by Zhou Tong because it couldn't be transferred to his account due to a lawsuit, and it wasn't safe to keep it in his office, so he had given it to Li Chonglou.
According to Zhou Tong, it was a loan, and Li Chonglou had reluctantly accepted it. He hadn't expected it to be of urgent use now.
This small wad of cash was at least several thousand yuan. Zhou Tong had given him more, but for inquiring about just one person, Li Chonglou felt this was more than enough.
Upon seeing the money, the tea house owner's eyes lit up, and his expression changed by 180 degrees.
"It's impossible to protect the privacy of every customer." The tea house owner smiled slyly, and after taking the money from Li Chonglou, he revealed the information about the so-called Xiaoping.
"His real name is Wu Ping. He often comes here because he wants to appear cultured when he's trying to pick up girls. He's a regular customer here."
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes inwardly. Such a regular customer was sold out just like that. Money truly was omnipotent in this world.
The saying "money makes the mare go" was indeed an eternal truth.
However, this information was not enough for Li Chonglou, so he pressed on, "Do you know who he associates with?"
The tea house owner's face showed a look of recollection. After a while, he said with some uncertainty, "I think I heard him mention someone called Brother Yuan."
"Brother Yuan? Gao Yuan?" Li Chonglou's brow furrowed.
"I don't know about that. I only remember him mentioning Brother Yuan, but I never heard him say what Yuan it was."
Getting only this much information for several thousand yuan was definitely not acceptable. Without a second word, Li Chonglou took back most of the money from the tea house owner, leaving only a few bills.
"Hey! Why are you like this!"
The tea house owner suddenly became anxious, deeply regretting why he hadn't just put the money in his pocket earlier.
Li Chonglou rolled his eyes at him and said, "You've only said this much, and these few bills are enough."
Although he knew it was unrealistic to earn several thousand yuan for just a few words, he was unwilling to let the money he had in hand fly away.
"How about this? I can help you check! He comes here often, and I can find out by just asking around!"
Li Chonglou was waiting for him to say this, and only then did he hand the money back to him.
"Then next time he comes, you call me immediately. And don't you think about playing both sides. If I find out anything is amiss."
As Li Chonglou spoke, he took out another wad of cash from his pocket, amounting to tens of thousands. Anyone who carried so much cash with them would certainly not be an ordinary person, and the tea house owner was no exception.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I've always been a person of my word. Since I promised to help you, I won't play both sides!"
I'll listen first. Naturally, he didn't have much trust in the tea house owner, but this was all he could do for now. After exchanging contact information with the tea house owner, Li Chonglou left the tea house.
Upon returning to the coffee shop, Yalili immediately asked.
"How was it? Did you catch them?"
Li Chonglou shook his head. "There were too many people, and they got away. But I did get some information. We'll see if there's a chance to find them later."
After speaking, Li Chonglou reminded her, "Find yourself a bodyguard during this time."
Yalili sighed and said, "I thought about this before, but I don't feel reassured by others, so I haven't made a decision. Brother Li, how about..."
Before she could finish, Li Chonglou understood her intention and directly shook his head. "I don't have time recently. I can't help you with this."
Disappointment flashed across Yalili's face. At this moment, Li Chonglou suddenly thought of someone and added, "But I can help you find someone."
Yalili's eyes immediately lit up. She didn't trust others, but if Li Chonglou personally found someone, she felt she could trust them. So, she nodded repeatedly.
What she didn't know was that the person Li Chonglou had in mind was someone she had also met.
