Chapter 1540

Alex turned around and saw an old woman. The old person's back was hunched over. She was carrying a bag on her back and was holding a bowl with broken edges in her hand. "Ma'am, you are..."

Alex originally thought that this old person was Noah's mother. However, after he had taken a closer look, this old woman was much older than Noah's mother. Also, she was more shabbily dressed than Noah's mother. Therefore, who was this old woman?

The old woman raised her aged and cloudy gaze to look at Alex. "You are the big shots from Kidon City, right?"

Alex was speechless.

"I'm an old woman who begs for food. I have also lived long enough, so I don't fear death anymore! I just wanted to ask you, what exactly did this family do to you? Why do you bully them so miserably? I don't believe such a nice family would do anything illicit! You are all just taking advantage of your power to bully them!" muttered the old woman. Then, she left in resentment.

She was banging on the bowl in her hands while walking away. "Such a nice old woman, who would still chat with me. Her daughter-in-law would also reheat the leftovers when she gave them to me. I have never met such nice people. The good people just don't live for a long life..." In the end, the old woman was choked up as she walked further away.

Alex was speechless. Alex had brought more men that time than the previous time he came to the northeastern region. However, he still conducted thorough investigations both in open and in secret, and he was even more careful than the last time he was searching for Jane. He did not wish to alarm anybody. Most importantly, he was worried if Jane was still alive, she would still be hiding from him Therefore, at that moment when he saw the old woman walking further away, Alex also did not make a big fuss to chase after her. He just sat quietly in the car without saying a word.

When the night had almost fallen and Alex was still waiting outside the restaurant, he noticed that there were very few people on this street. It was not until night time that waves of people came out from another restaurant, and the owner of that restaurant and his wife were warmly greeting the customers. Garrett and Alex waited for all the customers to leave, then only they walked forward.

The owner saw that the two of them were dressed quite well, so he asked, "what would you two like to eat?"

"Serve us whatever you have," Alex said.

"Welcome, welcome, come on in." The street was rather empty, but there were still customers at this late hour, so it was only natural for the owner to greet the customers with enthusiasm. Alex and Garrett started to order. They ordered all the expensive food on the menu and were very generous. After the dishes were served, they also ordered some fine alcohol. This way, the owner was even happier. Seeing the two customers this generous, the owner also became chattier. "From the way the two of you speak, it seems like you're not from around here, right?"

"No," Alex said truthfully.

Garrett complimented the owner. "Your dishes here are not bad."

"Really? Then you two gentlemen should come more often," said the owner joyfully.

Garrett said again, "Perhaps we may truly come here often in the future. We are from Haf City Real Estate Company, and we're going to be developing this county shortly. We'll frequent your restaurant in the future. May I have your business card?"

"Sure! " The restaurant owner immediately went to take his business card happily.

Within a minute, the business card was already placed in Garrett's hand. The owner also took the advantage to get to know them. "May I also have your business cards too?"

Garrett then immediately handed his business card to the owner of the restaurant.

"Jason Zandra. Regional Manager of Haf City Real Estate Company." The restaurant owner read the business card with unconcealable excitement. He looked at Alex again. "This is..." "Our boss."
