Chapter 775 He Has Friends Like You Too?

After Leanna departed from the hospital, she keyed in a specific address into the navigation system and headed

there without delay. It was the address Ron gave her when he left. At that time, he told her she could find him at

this address if she needed his help.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside an alley. However, Leanna couldn't drive in because it was far too

narrow for her vehicle. Hence, she had no choice but to park the car on the roadside.

Although it was daytime, several hooligans were roaming about and smoking cigarettes in the alley. The moment

they laid their eyes on Leanna, they started catcalling.

Meanwhile, on both sides of the alley stood a few scantily clad women with heavy makeup and cigarettes in their

hands.

One could clearly picture what this alley would look like at night.

Leanna walked a few steps before a woman called out with a smile, "Pretty girl, are you trying to look for a job?"

Leanna paused slightly upon hearing the words that just escaped the woman's lips. Then, she turned around and

approached the woman.

The woman grinned like a Cheshire cat when she saw Leanna walking towards her. "If that's the case, then I am

precisely the person you should seek. I can help you find and secure any jobs you want. Judging from your beautiful

looks, you will definitely—"

"I want to ask you about someone," Leanna interrupted.

The smug grin on the woman's face faded a little at Leanna's questioning. Her attitude wasn't as enthusiastic as

before, and she simply responded awkwardly, "So, you are looking for someone…"

Leanna rummaged through her bag, took out a necklace, and said, "This is for you."

The woman's smile resurfaced when she looked at the seemingly valuable and exquisitely packaged necklace. "Oh,

dear me. It's just an inquiry about someone. Sure, I can help you with that. After all, I know everyone on this street.

Whom would you like to inquire about?" she asked.

"Ron Sedley," answered Leanna.

The grin on the woman's face disappeared and was replaced by a slightly wary look when she heard the name that

fell from Leanna's lips. "What business do you have with him?"

"He asked me to come here to find him if I need anything," Leanna explained.

"What's your name?"

"Leanna McKinney."

"Wait here for a moment," the woman requested before turning around and heading into the house.

"Sure."

Then, the woman swiftly took out her phone and dialed a number. She told the other party what happened in the

alley and quickly she received a reply from the other end of the phone, "I have never heard of this name."

"Judging from her rather beautiful appearance and how she dresses like a rich lady, I doubt that she's here to look

for trouble."

The person on the other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds before saying, "Mr. Ron is in the

underground casino, so you may take her there."

As for Leanna, who stood and waited at the door for a few minutes, she was quietly studying her surroundings.

The woman came out a moment later, and around her neck was the very necklace Leanna had given her earlier.

Finally, she wasted no time in saying, "Come. I'll take you to Ron."

While they were on their way to the underground casino, the woman asked Leanna, "Pretty girl, what is your

relationship with Ron?"

"We are friends," replied Leanna.

The woman was obviously a little surprised by her answer. "He has friends like you?!"

Leanna merely smiled and said nothing upon hearing her shocked exclamation.

Now that the woman discovered Leanna and Ron were friends, her curiosity about Leanna skyrocketed. Therefore,

she probed further, "What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a designer."

"What's the brand of the necklace you gave me just now? It's quite pretty. It has to be expensive, right?"

"I was the one who designed that necklace, so it's not that pricey." Leanna chuckled lightly.

An unconcealed admiration glimmered in the woman's eyes as she said, "Wow. You're amazing! I am quite fond of

the style of your design. Can I buy some accessories from you in the future?"

Leanna immediately took out a business card from her bag and handed it to the woman. "Of course, you can. This

is my studio's address. You can look for me here if you need any accessories."

The woman took the business card and read the name of Leanna's studio, "'Starry Night'… That's a nice name."

Soon, Leanna followed the woman into an underground casino. The atmosphere in the casino was boisterous and

the air was smoky as the scent of nicotine was terribly pungent.

After the woman and Leanna entered, two men whistled at them. "Martha, here for business today?"

The woman, who was named Martha, waved her hand and reprimanded, "Shut the f*ck up! This pretty girl is Mr.

Ron's friend. Are you two trying to court death?"

After the two men heard what Martha said, the smirks on their faces instantly vanished, and they never spoke

another word.

Meanwhile, on the largest table in the casino sat Ron. The scar on his face was startling, which caused him to exude

appalling yet terrifying vibes.

After Martha whispered something to a man, who was standing to the side, he merely glanced at them before

informing Martha and Leanna to wait on the spot for a moment. Then, he walked up to Ron and whispered

something to him.

Ron furrowed his brows a little before he looked up. Unfortunately, his vision was filled with a tight cluster of people.

So, he tilted his head, and gave a few instructions to his subordinate, who swiftly nodded and left.

The man walked up to Leanna and Martha and said to Leanna, "Miss McKinney, I will take you to the lounge. Mr. Ron

will come right over."

"Okay," Leanna murmured agreeably.

Just as she had taken two steps, the man blocked Martha, who was just about to follow. "You may return."

Martha pursed her lips but stopped in her tracks and then went to join the gambling party.

The man took Leanna to the lounge. Before he left the lounge, he attentively brought her another bottle of water.

If truth be told, the room was more like a utility room than a lounge. The light was dim, and a damp smell lingered

in the air in the room.

Nevertheless, it was still far better than the crowded gambling den despite its poor environment.

Leanna took out her phone and discovered that Zoe had sent her a message 20 minutes ago, asking her when she

would be returning. As she didn't want to worry Zoe, she hastily replied, informing Zoe that she had some business

to attend to and would only be home after an hour or two.

As soon as she sent the message, the door of the lounge creaked open.

Ron sauntered in while he waved his hand, trying to get rid of the odor in the room. "The environment in this room

is pretty awful. Shall we have a chat outside?"

"It's fine. Let's just talk here," Leanna said since it was really troublesome and a waste of time to move from this

room to another one.

Ron sat across from her. "Speak. I'm listening."

She stated her purpose for coming here without further ado. "I'm looking for someone, but she is intelligent and

often wanders around various shady places. I can't locate her through legal means."

He effortlessly grasped what she meant. "Do you have any photos?"

Leanna shook her head. "No, I don't, but she is a foreign national. She has just arrived in Highside recently.

Moreover, she is medically skilled. So, her appearance might coincide with obstructive situations."

Ron furrowed his brows slightly at her description. "A foreign woman who is medically skilled?"

"Yes. Have you heard of her?"

"Someone did inform me about a foreign woman showing up in various casinos and winning a lot of money a few

days ago. Even so, I still have to ask around to confirm if that woman is the person you are searching for."

"Her name is Amanda. Please contact me if you have any information," requested Leanna rather urgently.

Ron gave her a number. "This is my current number. Just call this number if you need anything. You don't have to

come here to look for me again."

Leanna was startled by his actions. Shortly after, she understood what he was implying, so she smiled slightly as

she expressed her gratitude. "Thank you." Then, she swiped off the dust on her skirt as she rose to her feet. "I shall

leave first, then."

"Let me see you off. After all, this place can get quite… rambunctious," Ron offered to escort her.

"Sure."

After she followed Ron out of the underground casino, she could almost immediately tell that the air was a lot

fresher.

Those hooligans that were eyeing her earlier scattered the moment they caught sight that she was being

accompanied by Ron.

It was as though they were afraid that Ron would pick on them.

When they got to Leanna's car, Ron drawled, "I will look into the woman and pass you any information I have about

her tomorrow at the latest. Are you trying… to find out her whereabouts? Or are you trying to get to her?"
