I nodded to show my understanding. "Brother Li, please go ahead. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Brother Li smiled with satisfaction. "Great! It's actually not a big deal. Recently, I've been looking for a reliable person to help me inquire about some matters..."
I listened quietly to Brother Li's account, secretly planning my next steps. It seemed that getting clues from Brother Li would not be easy. I had to proceed cautiously and carefully to ultimately achieve my goal.
I picked up the teacup and took a light sip, the corners of my mouth lifting slightly. "Brother Li, don't worry. This matter is on me."
====================
I set down the teacup and feigned curiosity. "What is it that Brother Li wants to inquire about? Perhaps I can help."
Brother Li lit a cigar, took a deep puff, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke as he slowly said, "I want you to help me investigate someone."
"Investigate someone?" I feigned surprise and asked, "Who does Brother Li want to investigate? I know quite a few people; maybe I can assist."
"This person is very mysterious," Brother Li squinted his eyes and blew out a smoke ring. "I only know her name is Angela, an international supermodel; I have no other information."
My heart stirred—Angela? That name sounded familiar.
"Angela?" I pretended to be puzzled and asked, "That name seems a bit familiar, but I can't recall where I've heard it. Brother Li, could you tell me more about this Miss Angela? Why do you want to investigate her?"
Brother Li shook his head. "I'm not too clear either; I've just heard she recently returned to Shanghai and seems to be related to this batch of herbs."
I nodded in understanding. "So that's how it is. Brother Li, rest assured; I will do my best to find this Miss Angela for you."
Brother Li patted my shoulder earnestly and said, "Miss Xiaoman, I'm counting on you for this matter. If you can help me clarify this issue, I promise you won't be at a loss."
I smiled and nodded but secretly scoffed. Brother Li, do you think I don't know what you're planning? You want to use me to find Angela and then monopolize the secret of these herbs. However, I'm not that easy to manipulate.
I stood up to take my leave, and Brother Li escorted me to the door, reminding me once again to find Angela as soon as possible.
Once home, I immediately opened my computer and began searching for information about Angela. Sure enough, Angela was an internationally renowned supermodel who shone on the global runway with her perfect figure and unique Eastern charm.
As I continued browsing reports about Angela, suddenly one news article caught my attention: "International Supermodel Angela Returns Home Secretly, Suspected of Ill Health."
The news was accompanied by a photo of Angela; she looked haggard and thin in the picture, a stark contrast to her radiant self on the runway.
A thought crossed my mind: could Angela be suffering from the side effects of weight loss pills, just like Lingling? To confirm my suspicion, I decided to use my radio show to inquire about Angela from the listeners.
The next evening, I began my radio program on time. "Hello, dear listeners! Welcome to today's episode of Urban Legends. I'm your old friend, Xiao Man."
"Today, I want to talk about the topic of weight loss."
"In this era where being slim is considered beautiful, many girls go to great lengths to achieve a slender figure, even trying extreme weight loss methods and some dangerous pills."
"However, many weight loss pills pose significant safety risks; they can harm health in mild cases and even threaten lives in severe cases."
"Recently, I heard a story about an international Supermodel who took a weight loss pill from Southeast Asia for years to maintain her figure, which ultimately led to serious health issues..."
I adapted Angela's story into a segment for Urban Legends and shared it on the radio, asking listeners for any clues regarding Angela and the weight loss pills.
After the show aired, it quickly sparked enthusiastic discussions among the audience.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe an international Supermodel would take pills to lose weight; that's terrifying!"
"I've heard of that weight loss pill; it does work well, but the side effects are huge. Many people have experienced various problems after taking it."
"I want to lose weight too, but I'm afraid of taking pills. I'll stick to healthier methods."
Among the numerous comments, one caught my attention.
"I know Angela's personal doctor; I can help you get in touch with him."
I felt a surge of excitement and immediately contacted this listener to arrange a time and place to meet.
