Investigating Further

The first and second floors of this small building housed an ordinary restaurant.

The moment Zhong Feng entered, a beautiful waitress hurried over and asked with a smile, "Sir, how may I help you?"

It was not mealtime, and there were few customers in the hall. Zhong Feng was alone.

"Whew, it seems we're comrades." The proprietress
