Chapter 172 It seems like something has been forgotten (2/2)

The little white dog that Ruan Tang was holding woke up completely. Its fluffy little head poked out from the collar of her cotton-padded coat, its dark purple eyes darting around, and its little nose twitching vigorously.

"Squeak!" (Roasted chestnuts! Smells delicious!)

"Squeak!" (That fried dough twist! I want one too!)

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Yan Yu reached out, grabbed Little White by the scruff of its neck, and stuffed it back into Ruan Tang's arms, while also handing her a bag of freshly roasted chestnuts.

The chestnuts were piping hot.

He peeled one open, blew on it to warm it, and then held it directly to her lips.

Ruan Tang subconsciously opened her mouth and took it in, the sweet and sticky aroma instantly filling her mouth.

She squinted her eyes happily.

The two bought two jin of pork, and also some melon seeds, peanuts and milk candy.

While Yan Yu was queuing to buy firecrackers, Ruan Tang looked around listlessly.

Suddenly, her consciousness jolted!

Not far away, around the corner of the supply and marketing cooperative, a furtive figure peeked out.

It's Shen Yishan.

She was wearing a brand-new pink cotton-padded jacket, but she was no longer as spoiled as before. Instead, she was biting her lip nervously, as if she was waiting for someone.

Ruan Tang found it amusing; what kind of trouble was this young lady causing now?

Just as she was about to withdraw her divine sense, her pupils suddenly contracted.

A woman emerged from the depths of the alley and quickly stood in front of Shen Yishan.

The woman had a neat short haircut, wore light makeup, and was dressed in a well-fitting Lenin suit, looking like a female cadre from the city.

But this face... even if this face turned to ashes, Ruan Tang would still recognize it!

Jia Ximei!

Mayor Bai's mistress, whose home was "robbed" by her and Xiao Bai together, leaving her penniless!

What is she doing here? And getting involved with Shen Yishan?

Ruan Tang's heart sank to the bottom in that instant.

She immediately transmitted this discovery to Yan Yu through the Daoist Couple Contract.

Yan Yu, who was paying, did not pause for a moment.

But Ruan Tang could clearly feel his hand on her waist tighten suddenly, and that chilling killing intent surged through the contract, making her shiver involuntarily.

"What are they saying?" Yan Yu's voice was as cold as ice.

Ruan Tang listened intently.

His divine sense pierced through the noisy crowd and captured every word of the two people's conversation.

With a sob in her voice, Shen Yishan pleaded, "Sister Jia, please help me again... Gu Jinzhou, he's completely ignoring me! I... I want to drug him..."

Jia Ximei frowned, her face full of impatience and disdain, but she still took out a small paper packet from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

"This is the last time. Remember, give me that jade pendant after it's done. If anything goes wrong again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Shen Yishan took the paper package as if she had grasped a lifeline, nodding repeatedly.

Jia Ximei didn't say anything more. She glanced around warily, then turned and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Ruan Tang withdrew her divine sense, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

There's so much information!

Shen Yishan was so desperate to get Gu Jinzhou that she resorted to drugging him.

Jia Ximei, a woman who should have disappeared from Haicheng, actually appeared in a small town in Northeast China, thousands of miles away, and even made a deal with Shen Yishan.

What they were trading was a jade pendant.

Jade pendant...

A jade pendant that would risk the life of someone like Jia Ximei could not possibly be an ordinary item.

Ruan Tang's mind went blank for a moment, something flashed by so fast that she couldn't grasp it.

It seems... it seems like she forgot something.
