When I walked into the teahouse, I found that the space inside it was much larger than I thought, and the decoration was very textured. There were a large number of seats and partitions on this floor alone, and there should be many single rooms inside. I roughly estimate that it could accommodate at least hundreds of people. There was a staircase circling up to my left, and there was obviously a second floor. The Tan family’s teahouse was indeed quite large.

I was going to go to the second floor to take a look, but just as I was about to step up the stairs, a young waiter next to me immediately stopped me, "I'm really sorry, sir, there are guests who have booked the yard upstairs today, you can choose a location on the first floor."

I looked up and looked up. Although the lights upstairs were bright, I could hear that the guests who booked the venue had not arrived yet. On the other person's territory, I could not do anything randomly, so I nodded and retreated.

The waiter led me to a window seat, and sat here just by looking at the door and the stairs, which was exactly what I wanted. But when I opened the tea recipe handed to me by the waiter, I was immediately shocked. I didn’t expect that the tea here was so expensive! An ordinary pot of pain costs several hundred yuan, and even thousands of yuan! I couldn’t help but secretly talk, and I secretly scolded the Tan family’s teahouse in my heart. No wonder there are no other customers except me in such a large teahouse!

But since I have come and have sat down, I can't get up and leave now. If I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I get a tiger's son? What should I spend money? I thought to myself, so I found the cheapest one on the tea recipe. However, even the cheapest one is several times the price of an ordinary teahouse.

When the tea was served, I poured a cup and tasted it carefully. I really couldn't taste anything special.

I just sat there, but went to the toilet twice in the middle. In fact, my body was still not very comfortable. I just drank a cup of hot tea and sweated slightly on my body, which made me feel better.

Before I came, I thought there would be some tea shops here. Some of them might know the Tan family, or even meet the Tan family's friends, and maybe they could find out the news. But I didn't expect that this place was so deserted, and the waiter was very polite, but I wouldn't say a word. I had no chance to communicate with others at all.

As noon approached, I was already a little impatient to sit. Just as I was about to get up and leave, I noticed that the waiters suddenly moved. They walked to the teahouse gate at the same time, as if we were welcoming someone.

I suddenly became energetic and looked at the door with all concentration. Soon as the door opened, a woman walked in. She had a large sunglasses on her face. She could tell that her skin was fair, but she could not tell her specific age. This woman had an extraordinary temperament, and her clothes were not gorgeous, but she looked very graceful.

Accompanied by several people behind her, the woman walked straight to the second floor. When she turned around, she glanced around, but when she saw me, she suddenly paused. Although the woman was wearing sunglasses and looked at her, she could feel it. Her eyes stayed on me for a few seconds.

I quickly withdrew my gaze and pretended to turn my head and look elsewhere.

I heard the woman ask the waiter, "Has anyone else come?"

The waiter said softly, "Not yet." The woman didn't say anything more.

I seemed to feel that gaze stayed on me again, which made me feel like I was on my back. When I turned my head and looked over, those people had already gone upstairs.

I think this woman's identity must be extraordinary. She is likely to be a member of the Tan family. Even if she is not, she must have a great relationship with the Tan family.

I was thinking, and suddenly a few people pushed the door and walked in. The person in the lead was a bald man. This man looked very fierce and there was a terrifying scar on his head. He looked about forty years old. After entering, this man looked straight up to the second floor.

This made me feel moved. It seemed that there was something special on the second floor. If I could slip up to the second floor, I might be able to hear useful news. But since these two groups of people went up, the waiter looked at the stairs tighter, and there was even one person there. I was really powerless.

I felt a little anxious, and at the same time, because I drank a lot of tea, the pressure on my lower abdomen was also increasing. I got up and signaled to the waiter, and then went to the toilet again. After releasing the water, I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up accidentally and found that there were two vents on the ceiling.

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind. The ventilation duct is relatively closed, and the sound waves are transmitted and decayed slowly. Therefore, generally speaking, sound can travel farther away in such a place. I think maybe I can use my sensitive listening and a little luck, so that I might hear some useful information.

After making up my mind, I walked into the compartment below the vent and locked the door. After listening to the movement outside, I climbed up on the toilet tank.

I took out a key and pried open the aluminum alloy grille of the vent, slowly leaned my head in, and listened carefully. There was some air flowing sound in the ventilation duct. I noticed that the sound of people talking was still stuck in the slight breeze, which made my spirits burst out and my heartbeat was a little faster.

I noticed that the person who spoke was a woman, and the sound of the person I heard was probably the one I saw just now.

The sounds I could hear were intermittent and difficult to tell. But at the moment, this was the only way, so I could only hold my breath and listen as much as possible.

Gradually, my ears adapted to this sound environment and could already distinguish some of the conversation from it. "Where are the people?" the woman said.

The bald man smiled and said something, but his voice was very thick and there was a reverberation around him, so I didn't hear what he was saying.

The woman's voice came again. This time she spoke very quickly. I only heard the two words "Guizhou". However, these two words made my heart suddenly tight. Guizhou? The second uncle is there. Could it be that they are plotting against my second uncle?

I listened to it again with all my concentration, but I only heard the woman say, "Take him tomorrow." And the bald man only responded with "Okay". Then, I heard the sound of a chair moving upstairs.

I also quickly got off from above, closed the vent again, and walked out of the toilet.

I just returned to my seat and sat down when I saw the bald man walking down from the second floor, pushing open the door and walking out.

I sat for a while, but I didn't see the woman coming down. I was still thinking about the information I heard just now. I felt that everything else was fine, but the word "Guizhou" I heard made me particularly worried. Will it have something to do with my second uncle? I even thought of several worst plans, which made my heart tightly hold back and forth.

Based on their conversation I just heard, they should have an appointment tomorrow, and I think I have to come here tomorrow. If they want to bring the person I just mentioned here tomorrow, I can just figure out the identity of that person, and if he is the second uncle, I will understand.

Thinking of this, I decided to come back tomorrow, but just as I wanted to get up, I suddenly thought of a problem. Today, the woman seemed to have noticed me. If I still sit here alone tomorrow, it would definitely attract her attention. It is indeed too eye-catching for me to come to such a teahouse twice alone. People in this industry are extremely vigilant, and I am very likely to arouse their suspicion. Not only will I not be able to find the news, but I may get into trouble.
