Chapter 357: Chapter 357

Lee quickly picked up the phone from under the seat. He was so émotional that his voice trembled.

“Where is she? Where did you get the news? She’s still alive, right? I knew she was still alive…”

Toward the end, he was choking up and sobbing. “Mr. Xander, calm down. We’re still not sure what’s going on. We took Madam’s photo and asked around the fishing villages in this area. Two people said that they seemed to have seen Madam before.” “Under what circumstances did they meet her?” Lee was even more anxious now. His subordinate said, “One of them is too old, and the other is in his forties or fifties. However, there’s a problem with his ability to express himself. The two of them can’t communicate clearly. We’re asking around further now. We wanted to inform you in advance.” “Send me your location. I’ll be right there,” Lee said.

After receiving the location, he asked the driver to drive there without stopping. Four hours later, Lee arrived at the fishing village. how Who knew how many red lights he had run along the way? Two subordinates were inquiring about the situation at a fisherman’s house. The weather was too cold, so the people in this fishing village didn’t fish and stayed at home to warm themselves by the fire. Some were already stocking up for the new year. Lee also rushed to this fisherman’s house. Because there were outsiders, many people came to this fisherman’s house to join in the fun. It was only a four-hour drive from Horington to here, but the language they used was completely different from the one used in the city. Lee’s two subordinates were holding five or six photos of Heather and asking the old man to take a closer look. They asked the old man to think carefully. Where had he seen her before? When had he seen her? The old man was already in his 80s. When he saw the photo, he spoke incoherently.

What was he talking about?

Lee’s subordinate immediately asked the young woman to help translate. The young woman said that her grandpa said that the woman in this photo looked very familiar. He probably saw her more than ten years ago. He was old and had already forgotten where he had seen her. He did not know if he had remembered it correctly. Another woman in her forties also said that the person in the photo looked a little familiar. Lee’s subordinate looked at the woman hopefully with the photo in his hand. He asked her to help him take a good look and think about it. The woman looked at the photos one by one. As she looked at them, she suddenly slapped her thigh. “Ah, I remember!” Lee understood and looked at the woman excitedly. “Miss, where did you see her? Please tell me.” The woman babbled on. Lee immediately looked at the girl who had helped translate.

The girl said that Mrs. Zager said that more than ten years ago, an old lady brought her daughter to the village and lived in the village for about a week. At that time, she was staying at Mrs. Nichols’ house.

Someone immediately chimed in, “Ah, more than ten years ago, an old lady stayed in the village with a young woman for a few days. Yes, yes, she stayed at Mrs. Nichols’ house.” “Ah, that’s true, but she doesn’t look like the woman in the photo!” “I’ve never seen her before, but I don’t think the girl that the old lady brought was this beautiful.” “I haven’t seen her. I only know that an old lady brought her daughter to the village to stay for a few days before leaving. I was still a young man at that time. I went to take a look through the window and was scolded by the old lady. She said that I was being a hooligan.” “Yes, they’re very solitary. They don’t even go out. Mrs. Nichols prepared their meals. Mrs.

Nichols must know,” someone said. The villagers were babbling. Lee and his two subordinates did not understand and were extremely anxious. The old man’s granddaughter interpreted what they said in a concise manner. She said that Mrs. Nichols knew about the situation back then.

“Is Mrs. Nichols still in this village?” Lee asked the girl excitedly. The girl nodded. “Yes, yes. She’s very old now.” “Is she at home? I want to pay her a visit.” Lee immediately stood up. He really couldn’t wait a moment longer. “Yes, she’s at home, but…” The girl sighed. “What’s wrong?” Lee asked. The girl said, “Mrs. Nichols doesn’t welcome anyone to her house.” “It’s alright, I’ll go shamelessly. Young girl, can you be my interpreter? Don’t worry. I’ll still thank you properly whether I can find her or not. Jeremy!”

Lee then shouted Jeremy immediately understood. He quickly opened his bag and began to give out envelopes filled with money to the villagers. The envelopes were packed in advance. There were three compartments in the bag. The big compartment was filled with envelopes that had 200 dollars inside.

The small compartments were filled with envelopes that had 100 dollars inside. They were just looking for information. If he gave them some money, they would do their best. Previously, he had also given the woman who provided some information 200 dollars.

At this moment, Jeremy gave the villagers the envelopes filled with 100 dollars. It was not that he was stingy, but he was afraid that if he gave too much money, someone would have evil intentions.

Moreover, a leather bag could only hold so much money. However, there was a lot of cash in the car. It was all packed in suitcases so that no one could see what was in them and smash their car to steal them. It was almost the new year. The villagers were all very happy when they received the money and thanked him repeatedly. The word ‘thank you’ was easy to make out. Jeremy was smart. He gave another envelope to the woman who had provided the information first. He also gave an envelope to the young lady’s grandpa and the young lady Lee said to the girl, “Your grandpa helped me a lot. This money is just a small token of appreciation. In the future, if any of your family members need help studying, getting a job, getting married, or buying a house, I’m willing to help.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much. Let me tell you about Mrs. Nichols’ family. I heard from my mother that Mrs. Nichols used to be a very helpful person. If anything happened to anyone in the village, Mrs.

Nichols would be the first to help. She would fork out money and put in a lot of effort. Hell “Eight years ago, Mrs. Nichols’ son got married. Mrs. Nichols’ life was not very good after that. Her daughter-in-law chased her out of the main residence and to built two small rooms on the side for her live in. She also rarely had meals with Mrs. Nichols. “Mrs. Nichols’ son originally wanted to be filial and argue with his wife, but his wife threw a tantrum. Mrs. Nichols’ son was soft-hearted. After his wife threw a tantrum a few times, he sighed and didn’t dare to care about his mother anymore. He only secretly gave her some money every month.

“Later on, someone in the village didn’t have enough people to harvest the field, so they asked Mrs.

Nichols for help. Mrs. Nichols’ daughter-in-law was unhappy about that. She complained at home every day, saying that Mrs. Nichols was busy with other people’s matters. She also said that Mrs. Nichols’

own life was a mess, so she might as well live in someone else’s house. “Every time she complained, she would shout at the top of her lungs. Half of the village could hear her. Later on, everyone was too embarrassed to ask Mrs. Nichols for help. “Sometimes, I want to send some seafood to Mrs. Nichols, but I’m afraid of being scolded by her daughter-in-law. As time passes, everyone has lesser and lesser contact with Mrs Nichols.” “Okay. I’m not afraid of being scolded. Bring me there to take a look. Thank you,” Lee said. His heart was filled with hope, and his heart never stopped racing ever since he arrived here. Not to mention being scolded, even if he would be stabbed, he would still go!
