Zina was blissfully unaware that someone was headed straight for her. Loaded with snacks, she found a restaurant and settled in. She ordered a serving of seafood stew. She set down all the snacks sheโd been carrying and eagerly began unwrapping them one by one. After arranging all the food on the table, Zina stared at the colorful spread before her, her eyes shining with barely concealed hunger. She couldnโt wait to dig in. Zina took off her mask and put it away. Then, unable to resist, she speared a piece of freshly fried potato with her fork and took a big bite, her eyes lighting up with anticipation. The spicy kick exploded in her mouth, perfectly complemented by the tangy pickled radish cubes, absolutely delicious. After tasting the potato, Zina cradled her giant cup of orange juice in both hands and took a big sip. The orange pieces blended with their juice made her eyes crinkle with pleasure. Zina thought to herself, โNothing beats the food back home. Not even the best chefs abroad could recreate the authentic flavors of home.โ
And when Zina was abroad, her parents never let her eat these snacks. They always said they were bad for her health. But she was fully recovered now. As long as she was careful, there was nothing to worry about. Setting down her orange juice, Zina picked up a forkful of cheesy spicy pasta and took a bite. The spicy heat spread through her mouth, instantly flushing her cheeks a rosy pink. Zina thought, โSo spicy. Itโs way too spicy.โ She quickly grabbed her orange juice and took two big gulps to cool her burning mouth. โHereโs your seafood stew, dear. Careful, itโs hot. Youโre such a pretty girl. Iโm giving you some snacks on the house,โ the madam said warmly. The restaurantโs owner, a warmโhearted madam, set the steaming dish down in front of Zina. โThank you, Madam,โ Zina said, putting down her orange juice and tidying up the slightly messy table. โYouโre welcome. You ordered so much just for yourself? Be carefulโnot all these different dishes mixed together might upset your stomach,โ the madam said, eyeing the table piled high with food. โSure, madam,โ Knowing the madam was kind, Zina replied with a grateful smile. The madam had other things to attend to and left right after serving the dish. Zina inhaled the mouthwatering aroma of the seafood stew, which had seafood and even vegetables among its ingredients. She grabbed a fork and a plate, picked out some, and set them aside to cool.
The street was bustling with people. Outside the bustling street, a black van pulled up. Yannis and Toby stepped out of the black van, surveying the bustling street before them. Toby frowned slightly. This was the most famous street in town, always packed with crowds. Trying to find someone here was like searching for a needle in a haystack. โMr. Perkins, the crowd is too dense, and our target is wearing a mask. This is going to be tough,โ he said. They only had a vague description, but there were far too many people in the street who matched it. Yannis remained calm. โLetโs get a detailed description from that guy first.โ โCrowded or not, weโre finding her,โ Yannis said firmly. He wouldnโt miss a single chance to find her. โWhat if sheโs out there waiting for me to find her?โ Chapter 372 Toby sighed, โThe informant said heโs at the first restaurant on the right side of the street.โ Yannis and Toby stepped into the bustling street together. They quickly located the young man. โWhat can I get you?โ the young man said routinely as he flipped pancakes, the shade falling across his workspace. โWeโre the ones you contacted,โ Toby said urgently. โWhat exactly does this person look like? Any distinctive features that would make her easy to spot?โ Time was of the essence, so Toby didnโt hesitate and got straight to the point. Seeing Yannis, the head of the Perkins Group, in person, the young man couldnโt contain his excitement.
โSโshe had caramelโbrown, slightly wavy hair,โ the young man described carefully. โShe looked really stylish and pretty, wearing a black beret, her hair in braided pigtails, an offโshoulder crop top, and a black skirt.โ Zina clearly came from money, and the young man couldnโt help but look a few times. Though her face was hidden, her fashionable outfit and striking aura made her truly stand out. Most of all, it was those eyes, her whole face lit up the moment she spotted the mashed taro cake. So the young man took notice. As he looked more closely, he suddenly realized her eyes seemed strangely familiar. โAny other distinguishing features?โ Toby pressed. Outfits like hers were everywhere in this crowded street. One could spot a hundred girls dressed the same just by walking around. Yannis scanned the crowd ahead and said coldly, โThink carefully. Iโll add another 3,000.โ Since they were already here, they might as well try to find her. The young man furrowed his brow, racking his brain. โIโI need a moment. Let me think-โ Yannis and Toby waited patiently without pressing him further. The young manโs eyes lit up. โAh, I just remembered,โ he exclaimed. โShe was carrying this really unique bag, covered in sparkling gemstones. It was absolutely gorgeous.โ Zinaโs bag was quite distinctive, a purse absolutely covered in sparkling gems. It wasnโt clear whether those stones were real or fake. Yannis gave a curt nod. โYour card numbers?โ Toby immediately pulled out his phone and transferred 3,000 to the young manโs account. โ33 thousand dollars just hit my account,โ the young man marveled inwardly. โBeing rich is awesome. He just made 33 thousand dollars for a bit of information.โ With the information secured, Yannis and Toby wasted no time entering the bustling street. While searching, Yannis had Toby contact the street management to pull up the surveillance footage. Otherwise, if it were just the two of them, theyโd be searching for her until the end of time. โIโve already contacted the person in charge here. Theyโre pulling up the surveillance footage for us now.โ Toby hung up and reported to Yannis. โOkay.โ Yannis scanned the surroundings. The street was packed with the crowd, teeming with an endless flow of people coming and going. โDid you hear? Thereโs an insanely gorgeous girl up ahead. Quick, letโs go see,โ a voice sounded. Nearby, two girls walked by arm in arm, chatting excitedly. Chapter 372 โOMG, I heard about her too. Sheโs dropโdead gorgeous, like a realโlife Barbie doll. Her face is so perfect. Itโs like God totally played favorites when making her.โ The two girls were practically buzzing with excitement. โTotally. Even in this bustling street, just her sitting there instantly elevates the whole place, like the restaurants around her suddenly got ten times classier.โ โCome on, hurry up. I heard that the seafood stew restaurant is already packed. If we donโt get there soon, we probably wonโt even be able to squeeze in.โ โThat girl looks so adorable when she eats. I just canโt help but want to call her darling in my heart.โ โCan you believe that girl with the diamondโstudded bag is eating at our regular little diner? Thatโs insane. And sheโs enjoying it so much.โ At first, Yannis and Toby paid little attention to the girls chatting as they walked by. But when they overheard them mention the diamondโstudded bag and the wealthy girl, both men immediately perked up. Toby turned to Yannis. โMr. Perkins, should we check it out? That might be that girl.โ Yannis looked ahead and said decisively, โLetโs check it out.โ A crowd had gathered up ahead, with people even forming a line. Either way, they had to check it out. Yannis and Toby pressed forward together. โShh. Keep it down. Donโt disturb our sweetie queen up front. OMG, sheโs so adorable. I wish I could be that food in her hands.โ โI want to be that straw sheโs sucking on. I want her to bite me.โ
