Kong Jianming glanced toward Quanjude's entrance before lowering his voice.
"I tried drawing her out several times. At first, whenever I brought up the day of the performance, she refused to talk about it! She only loosened up in the last couple of days. From what she said... when she went to the restroom, she saw a woman being strangled!"
Song Ning's heart jolted! Wu Tao Ying really had witnessed the attack on Zhou Yunzhi that day!
She hurriedly asked, "Did she see who did it?"
Kong Jianming shook his head. "She didn't say! I couldn't make my questions too obvious, either! She clearly doesn't want to talk about it. Even getting this much out of her took a lot of work!"
Song Ning considered it. "Then keep asking! Ideally, find out whether she got a clear look at that person's face. If you do, I'll give you an extra reward!"
"Sure! No problem! I just wanted to meet you first so I'd know what to do next!"
"Why... are you still here so late?" Song Ning looked around. The nights were cold, and this place was quite far from Qingbei University.
Kong Jianming shuffled his feet sheepishly. "Well... I'm waiting for her to get off work! I have to keep her happy if I want to draw anything out of her!"
"Get off work?"
Song Ning looked back at Quanjude's sign. "You mean Wu Tao Ying works at Quanjude?"
"Yes! Their factory went under! Luckily, someone helped Wu Tao Ying get a job here. She only started a couple of days ago! I heard the pay and benefits are much better than at the factory!"
The Distillery had gone under?!
She had known it was only a matter of time!
But why hadn't Song Wang mentioned it to her?
