Yunyi nodded lightly to Huo Jingrui. "I understand."
There was no issue with the original host’s background, and no fear of investigation from above. They had likely used the translation of materials as a pretext because they discovered the original host had learned foreign languages from a neighboring couple for several years. That couple had been university professors, and the original host had learned Russian, English, French, and German under their tutelage. If this hadn’t been brought up, the memory would have remained buried. The original host indeed possessed a talent for languages. The elderly couple, retired and at leisure, had encountered such a young prodigy and were only too eager to impart all their knowledge to her.
Early in the year, someone unknown had targeted them. Alternatively, Old Master Chu might have caught wind of the danger and warned them. Consequently, they entrusted their house to the street administration office and went to join their younger son, who had relocated to the countryside in the south.
After they had discussed the details of heading into the mountains the day after tomorrow, Huo Jingrui and Liu Chenglin rose to take their leave.
Yunyi naturally saw Huo Jingrui’s hesitant expression as he was leaving. But since he’d forgotten her, she wasn’t going to be the one to take the initiative.
Liu Chenglin returned to his courtyard, glancing now and then at Huo Jingrui beside him. "Boss, you seem a little off."
Huo Jingrui shot Liu Chenglin a cold look. "I think you simply have too much free time."
With that, he entered the room. "Any discoveries from the team leader?"
Liu Chenglin shook his head. "Nothing. However, when we arrived at Songling Village, the team leader wasn’t there. It’s said he went to his daughter’s house in the neighboring county to help with building their house. I think we should send someone to inquire and see if he’s lying. Based on what Chu Zhiqing heard previously, it’s highly probable the team leader made contact with those people around that time."
Upon entering the room, Huo Jingrui lit the oil lamp on the table and took a map from his pocket. He pointed at the map. "According to Chu Zhiqing, the cave should be in this area. It must be very well hidden, as those people haven’t found it yet. That’s why we can’t delay any longer."
When Huo Jingrui left Liu Chenglin’s courtyard, he subconsciously glanced at the adjacent courtyard. Seeing the lights were out, he then melted into the night.
Yunyi busied herself in her space for a while, planting all the sweet potato vines and practicing Martial Arts. Afterward, she took a long soak in the bath and changed her clothes before leaving the space.
She was certain the team leader would go out again tonight. She wasn’t one to dither; now that she had a plan, she would act on it.
Just as she expected, it wasn’t long before the team leader furtively slipped out of his house. She found it curious: how could Ma Jiuxiang, who slept in the same bed with him, sleep so soundly without the slightest suspicion?
Judging by how familiar the team leader was with his route, it seemed he considered the Qiu Family’s place his second home.
She was even more curious: did the Qiu siblings know about the team leader’s relationship with their mother?
Yunyi, of course, wanted to ensure they were irrevocably entangled. So, she secretly added a little something extra to the room.
