Chapter 1983: Lu Yuan Follows Relentlessly

On a moonless night, Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan climbed over the wall.

An instructor followed closely behind, but soon a figure appeared, blocking the path.

"Lu?"

"It’s me."

"Why are you blocking my way?"

"They’re just kids."

"They broke the rules, I must catch them back."

"They have a task."

"Don’t joke, they’re not qualified for missions yet."

"Arranged from above."

"I hope you’re not lying to cover for them."

Lu Yuan uneasily pursed his lips: "You can go back."

"If it were someone else, it wouldn’t be this easy." The instructor turned and left.

Lu Yuan exhaled a breath.

The two of them had the honor of working together once, a bond forged through life-or-death experiences.

The instructor surely noticed he was lying, but was just giving him face.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction where the two kids ran off, shaking his head: "A couple of clever little ghosts, don’t cause trouble."

In the end, he still felt uneasy and followed them.

Little Taotie furrowed his small brows, whispering into Hua Jinyan’s ear: "I think someone is following us."

Hua Jinyan also sensed someone following, his gaze narrowed slightly: "I’ll inquire."

"Inquire?"

Under Little Taotie’s curious look, Hua Jinyan took off the Shariputra, and a small Ghost approached, trying to open its mouth to eat Hua Jinyan, but Hua Jinyan quickly grabbed its throat.

Little Taotie watched him in shock, wondering when Huahua became so ruthless.

After a bit of threatening, Little Ghost obediently went to inquire.

Before long, Little Ghost returned with news.

It turned out to be a Little Ghost who was quite good at drawing before death, gesturing air drawings of the follower’s appearance.

Little Taotie tilted his head: "Is it Uncle Bai Lu?"

Hua Jinyan lowered his gaze, somewhat guessing the other’s intention.

Little Taotie asked in a childlike voice: "Why is Uncle Bai Lu following us?"

Before Hua Jinyan could answer, she muttered to herself: "Must be worried about us."

Hua Jinyan nodded slightly: "Since he’s following, let’s let him be."

Little Taotie blinked: "Should we pretend we don’t know he’s following? Isn’t that not right?"

"If we expose him, will he continue to follow, or should we take him along?"

Little Taotie shook his head decisively: "That definitely won’t work, how can we take him along, he’d become a participant and if caught by the authorities, he’d surely be punished."

Hua Jinyan shrugged: "So the best approach is to pretend we don’t know anything, let him follow us out of concern, it’s good for everyone."

Little Taotie furrowed his small brows: "That’s the only way then."

Lu Yuan didn’t use eye drops, he hadn’t seen the interaction between Hua Jinyan and the Ghost; all he knew is the two kids suddenly halted, whispered discussions, then continued walking. Though puzzled, he didn’t ask and silently followed.

The two were minors, needing full-year accompaniment to board a plane, but Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan had Special Department credentials, allowing them to smoothly head to the first asset location of the man in the wheelchair.

This was a private yacht location.

The Confucius Man had 10 yachts in his name, each with a slightly different design.

Wealthy individuals liked collecting luxury cars, besides which, the wheelchair man favored collecting yachts more; these 10 yachts here were his favorite, and the yachts are more like his Treasure Ships.
