Chapter 257: I Will Remember This
Under the dimly lit corridor, Lu Yibei stood right in front of the rusty iron door that shut in front of her, as she thought of ways to lure the woman out of the house.
At this moment, the only functioning voice-activated light shone at the end of the corridor, and it was followed by the sound of footsteps that could be heard stomping down from the second floor. Soon, a large, middle-aged woman with dirty clothes could be seen.
The large woman walked down the corridor, and her eyes met with Yibei’s. She visibly frowned and walked over to the Witch briskly, then studied her up and down, as if she was trying to see through her.
“What are you doing here?”
“Hello! I am looking for a man named Qin Dalin. Can I ask if…”
Before Yibei could finish speaking, the large woman immediately looked left and right, and interrupted her, “Why are you looking for him?”
“I’m his relative. A close family member passed away recently, so I wanted to inform him about it,” Yibei lied with a calm expression. It didn’t seem like she was lying.
“You’re a relative?” the large woman’s eyes questioned her as she sneered. “I thought that nasty gambler’s family cut ties with him long ago!”
A nasty gambler? Did he gamble all of his money away? Is that why he lives in a place like this?
