Chapter 186: Meeting Sally

Back in Xunwai town, the driver arrived at the building with the green billboard and she stepped out of the car.

"Miss, I will be in that restaurant having lunch as I wait for you." The driver called out loudly as she entered it and pointed to a restaurant opposite that building.

She nodded and squeezed herself through the one entrance to the building which was over crowded because some people were entering and others existing through the same entrance. When she finally made it through, she could not help but think that the owner of the building was a bad business man because how could he expect everyone to squeeze into one entry way. What if there was an emergency, like a fire, wouldn’t people die because they could not escape?

Why had nobody reported this building for careless endangerment of lives?

"T4, file a complaint with the city building inspection department when you get time."

"Yes."

She wondered where to go next, Mu Shaoyan had not exactly told her which floor to go to.

"Excuse me," she grabbed the bicep of a young boy who was running by with his friends from an internet café. "Do you know where I can find the karaoke bar?"

"Upstairs, third floor." The boy shouted as he anxiously back in the direction he had come running from. He ripped her had away and continued to run.

She on the other hand made her way to the third floor and easily located the karaoke bar. It was not hard to tell what kind of place this was, a bunch of drunken men and scantily dressed women who were wrapped around them like octopuses could only add up to one thing, a hostess bar.

She headed deeper inside, looking for a manager or someone who was sober enough to assist her. The only one she could find was a waiter who was carrying alcohol to a private room.

"Excuse me," she stopped him, "Can you please tell me if Sally works here?"

The waiter put the drinks he was carrying on a table and looked at her, his eyes roving over her body in judgemental measurement. "Are you here because you think she slept with your husband because let me tell you, if your man is coming to this place, Sally is not the only woman you should be worried about." He said sarcastically.

She looked at him and smirked before asking, "Do I look like the type whose husband would be coming here?"

While the mask she was wearing had the face of a woman in her late twenties, she still looked incredibly beautiful and her outfit was definitely expensive. Even if she had a cheating husband, he would not be in such a shoddy place. To prove her point, she pulled out a large wad of cash and slammed it on the table.

The waiter pocketed it with a smile and said, "My apologies I spoke too soon. Follow me; I will take you to Sally."

She followed him to a room which he pushed open and yelled, "Sally you have a client." After yelling that he left to continue his work.

She peeped into the room through the door which he had left open. Only two people were inside, one old small sized man with thinning hair and the woman who was sitting in his lap, holding a glass of alcohol to his mouth.

She didn’t need to ask who Sally was; the old man could not be Sally. Ignoring him, she looked at the woman and said dominantly, "We need to talk."

Sally ignored Chi Lian and patted the head of the old man in whose laps she was sitting. "Brother, someone is bothering us." She said coquettishly.

Chi Lian laughed, she could not help it. "Brother!!! Don’t you mean father. That man is old enough to be your father, but it’s none of my business. I need to talk you and I will pay for your time."

Putting her money where her mouth was, she threw a wad of cash on the rusted glass table in the room.

"Brother, I think we should take a break." Sally jumped off the man’s laps but he would not let her go. He pulled her back by the arm. "Brother, Sally is a business woman, let me attend to my business and return to you, huh." She said coquettishly.

"I came before this bitch, you are going nowhere." The old man responded while eyeing Chi Lian condescendingly. "If she wants to talk to you, I have two laps. She can take one while you take the other." He winked.

Chi Lain resisted the urge to puke. Did this old man with three hairs on his bald head think he was sexy and irresistible?

"Host, remember that your mission panel is already counting down. Please conclude this business precisely so that we can get out of here."

Chi Lian entered the room, ready to beat up the old lewd man. To her shock, before she could lift a finger, Sally kicked her client in the crotch and slapped him thrice.

"Aish, I told you I have business to do, don’t you know that Sally loves money the most. How dare you get in between me and money?" she asked while she slapped him.

Suddenly, as if she was a new person, she smiled at Chi Lian and said, "Miss, what can Sally do for you?"

Chi Lian wondered why Sally kept referring to herself in third person. She also wondered id her sudden mood changes had anything to do with why Shaoyan had called her crazy. If she beat her client up like this, would she get any more customers?

The biggest thing she was wondering about however was Sally’s age. Sally was young, in her late twenties at most. Her hair was dyed blonde and she was wearing heavy make up on her face but Chi Lian could still tell that she was beautiful beneath all that.

"Hahaha, miss, you are wondering if I will have any more clients after beating him up like this, right?"

"Well...." Chi Lian replied unsurely.

Sally picked up the wad of cash on the table and said "No worries miss, Sally is good at taking care of herself. "She replied confidently. "Why are you looking for Sally?"

Chi Lian pulled a picture of Mu Qingzi out of her bag and showed it to Sally, "I am looking for this woman," she said. "I was told that you saw her two years ago."

Sally looked up in surprise after looking at the picture. "You are looking for Mu Qingzi, the woman with a burn mark on her face."

"She has a burn mark on her face, are you sure?" Chi Lian asked. "Take another look, are you sure it’s her. Did you really see her two years ago?"

"Of course I am sure." Sally retorted. "You are the first person to come looking for her you know. I told everyone that I had seen Mu Qingzi but they claimed I was crazy and drunk but that was a lie. They didn’t believe me because I work in this place, everyone thinks a woman who dresses up like this and sells alcohol must be crazy and stupid.

They call Sally a prostitute so her words are considered worthless and lies. I promise you, I have never sold my body a day in my life. And I know what I saw, Mu Qingzi was in this town two years ago and I saw her clear as day. She was dressed in very nice clothes, expensive looking." Her eyes roamed over Chi Lian. "Like yours." She said.

"I followed her because she was acting suspicious, looking around like she did not want to be seen. I thought I could make some money if I caught her doing something shady so I followed her but she got into a very nice looking car and left."

"Did you notice anything else?"

"Nothing." She shook her head, "Oh," she said suddenly, "The car that she was driving did have a sticker on the back. One of those stickers schools give parents to stick on their cars or windows. I know because I have a daughter and her school gave them out last year."

Chi Lian’s heart was thumping, could this be it?
