After saying her goodbyes, Lin Lan went to Limin Road. Old Li told her Li Xiangyang had gone to Uncle Da's house. Seeing nothing unusual in Old Li's expression, she returned to the bakery.
That evening, Li Xiangyang came to the shop to pick up Lin Lan. As soon as he saw her, he told her he had gone to see Yang Dingbang, who said he would help them ask around.
Lin Lan told him what Zhou Xiaohong had said, then added, "I rode my bike to look for Li Wu and Hou Bing. Right in front of Hou Bing's stall, I saw two men. One wore gold-rimmed glasses, and the other had downturned eyebrows and was about as tall as you. I confronted them, and they left after I said a few words."
Li Xiangyang frowned. "One of the men who came looking for me the other day also had downturned eyebrows, but he wasn't wearing glasses."
