Chapter 132 - "Help, Daddy! Help!"
Following the address provided to him by Xu Li, Li KangYi was able to locate Cheng Huan’s new shop quickly .
Businesses was booming inside . It was close to 60% full at 9 PM . Li KangYi walked inside and randomly ordered a few dishes before he sat and looked around .
He waited until past 10 PM .
The mall closed at 10:30 PM and the shops inside would close before that . By 10 PM, most of the customers were already gone and Li KangYi was the only one remaining .
The servers could not go home if there were still customers inside the shop . Seeing employees from all the surrounding shops closing up and leaving, the servers at the restaurant were getting anxious . They congregated around the cash registered and exchanged looks with each other . Finally a taller server walked over to Li KangYi and asked subtly, “Hi Sir, would you like to order anything else? The mall will be closing soon . ”
Li KangYi was anxious as well . He waited for over an hour and still did not spot his target . He started wondering whether Xu Li had given him a wrong address but he couldn’t just ask outright . He wasn’t very happy that the server was hinting for him to leave but he also understood that what she said was true . He stood up reluctantly and paid at the cash register .
There were plenty of workers congregated over at the cash register, all of them waiting to take off . Li KangYi looked around and still didn’t see the one that he was looking for . Handing his card over to the cashier, he pretended to ask nonchalantly, “You guys stay open late . ”
It could have been earlier, had you not stayed so late .
Thought the cashier but she maintained a smile on her . Taking his bank card from him, she swiped it and had him entered his pin .
After he had paid, Li KangYi wanted to ask about the situation about their boss but all of the employees left immediately to clean up, including the cashier . She grabbed a rag and started wiping down the cash register after returning the card to Li KangYi .
Li KangYi looked even more unhappy not being able to ask what he had wanted to . He put away his wallet, took a couple deep breaths and left the mall feeling disgruntled .
Li KangYi’s failed attempt, nevertheless, did not dissuade him . In the next few days that followed, he’d run over to Rongjiang any night that he was free . He’d stay still the night every time but, unfortunately, after all those times, he still had not run into Cheng Huan .

There weren’t a lot of customer at night and someone like him stood out a lot . After a couple of days, all of the servers at the restaurant were familiar with him and would even chat him up sometimes when business was slow .
Li KangYi was more than happy to chat with them . He looked down on them; he felt that they were unambitious for working in a restaurant . But for his own agenda, he acted very friendly toward them and were best of buds with some of the male servers after just a few days .
Once he was familiar with the employees, it was much easier to get information from them . He only needed to chat about their work from time to time during their conversations and he’d be able to find out information on Cheng Huan .
As such, he finally found out why he had never once ran into Cheng Huan all these times .
She never went to the shop at night!

Once he found that out, Li KangYi was extremely bothered by it . He wrapped up the conversation quickly and got up to pay .
“Aye, you leaving so early today?” asked the server next to him .
“Yeah, I have something else to go take care of . ” Li KangYi no longer want to waste his time there now that he found out Cheng Huan would not be there . He uttered an acknowledgement, paid, and took off immediately .
Walking out of the mall, cold breeze hit him immediately . Li KangYi shrank back and cussed . “This damn weather . ” He jogged over to his car and drove away .
The server told him that their boss would normally visit the shop on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and those were the days that Li KangYi would shoot for . End of the year was busy so he wouldn’t be able to go on a regular workday at all . Sunday was New year’s eve and he has a few days off .
