Ni Yang turned her head to look at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu nodded, "Go ahead! I’ve already talked to Sister Tang."
"Okay."
"Let’s go this way. Cross the intersection ahead and just walk a bit further to get there." Tang Hong led the way, and in a corner invisible to Ni Yang and Zhao Yu, she secretly made eye contact with the man standing by the roadside.
The man, catching Tang Hong’s glance, immediately threw away his cigarette butt and quickly ran across the street.
Ni Yang glanced sideways at Zhao Yu and whispered, "Doggy, this friend of yours seems a bit weird. Where did you meet her?"
Zhao Yu replied, "I met her at the bus station. Sister Tang is really nice. She bought me food and even took me to stay at a hotel! Before I knew Sister Tang, I could only sleep on trees at night."
Ni Yang patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder, "Doggy, you’ve had a tough time."
Now it wasn’t convenient here, otherwise Ni Yang really wanted to ask her what exactly had happened during this time.
About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Tang Hong’s place.
The location was rather remote, and the environment wasn’t very good.
Tang Hong lived on the first floor. "Duoduo, Duoduo’s mom, this is my home. Stand here for a moment, I’ll go knock on the door."
Zhao Yu nodded, "Yeah, go ahead."
Tang Hong went over to knock on the door, "Mom, big brother, second brother, third brother! I’m back, hurry open the door!"
The person who opened the door was an elderly person with greying hair, who looked kind and gentle like the old grandma next door, very affable, "Honghong is back. Come in, come in, these are your friends, right? Come in together."
Tang Hong’s home was also very cozily decorated. After entering, the elderly person busied herself offering water to Ni Yang and Zhao Yu.
On the sofa in the room, there sat three burly men. Tang Hong took the initiative to introduce them, "Duoduo’s mom, Duoduo, these are my big brother, second brother, and third brother."
Ni Yang nodded politely, "Hello."
Zhao Yu also followed and greeted them.
Tang Hong continued, "Duoduo, Duoduo’s mom, please don’t be shy, have a seat."
Ni Yang always felt that there was something odd about this house. After sitting for a while, she stood up and said, "I need to go to the bathroom."
"The bathroom is over here." Tang Hong stood up to show Ni Yang the way.
