...
Around 2 p.m., after the shift changed, the soldier who had helped Lu Yuan get his new documents was taken to the interrogation room in the intelligence center by a car before he even left his post.
Looking at the various interesting things in the cell, the soldier was almost scared to death.
"Where did you get these crystals from?"
"Yes...someone gave it to me!"
"Hmph! A gift? How could that be? How long are you planning to keep this a secret? Do you know what happens to hidden crystals?"
After saying that, the man on the other end opened a laptop, flipped the screen, and showed the other person the surveillance footage.
The soldier's face immediately fell into a state of frustration upon seeing this.
He originally thought they wouldn't find out that he had secretly hidden a second-tier crystal, but who knew that his secret would be discovered before he even left work.
To lessen his pain, he recounted everything that had happened that day in one breath.
The head of the intelligence interrogation center showed a hint of surprise on his face and immediately made a phone call after leaving the cell.
At this moment, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan were driving around the city, the back of the car fully loaded with all kinds of daily necessities.
Is there anything else I haven't bought?
Xiao Shan glanced at the unchecked items on the list: "There are a few more things, like pots and pans, and it would be best to prepare a set of all kinds of cooking utensils!"
"Okay! There seems to be a small appliance store over there; they should have these things!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan adjusted the steering wheel and immediately arrived at the hardware store.
However, just as he turned the corner, Lu Yuan felt someone staring at him in the rearview mirror.
"Someone seems to be watching us! Did we give something away?"
Xiao Shan was slightly taken aback. She put down the note in her hand and prepared to check the rearview mirror, but Lu Yuan grabbed her arm.
"Don't look at it on purpose, just look casually. I suspect that our crystals might have attracted their attention!"
Xiao Shan pretended to be tired and rested her arm on the car window, then secretly glanced at the rearview mirror. Sure enough, she saw several people staring in her direction.
"It seems to be true! You mean they found the crystal we had at the entrance?"
"It's possible! I just felt like someone was watching us. I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out they're still following us even after we've walked several blocks. We need to be careful!"
"Okay! By the way, do we need to buy anything else?"
"Buy, of course I'll buy things! Humph, I'll come back and see what these people are up to! If they're trying to rob me, I'll teach them a lesson!"
"Um!"
Next, Lu Yuan drove to a home appliance store and began selecting his items.
Those who were secretly watching them did not come in; instead, they sent two groups of people to keep watch on both the front and rear routes.
After buying everything, Lu Yuan noticed that there seemed to be two groups of people watching him, not just one.
"Damn it, it seems there are still two groups of people. One group is probably from the War God Mercenary Guild, and the other group must be from the military! After all, only these two groups know about our crystals!"
Xiao Shan became a little nervous because of Lu Yuan: "Then what do we do? Should we just go out and deal with them?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I know a good place! Let's go!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan drove his car towards another alley.
When Lu Yuan's car stopped at a tavern, the crowd behind him immediately became agitated.
"Holy crap! Could he be from around here?"
"Notify the boss right away! Damn it, we can't let something this big drag on for too long!"
Meanwhile, another group of people also wore solemn expressions: "This person seems to be extraordinary. No wonder they were able to obtain so many crystals!"
Upon seeing this, the two groups of pursuers immediately gave chase and sent the location of Lu Yuan's destination to their superiors.
When Xiao Shan followed Lu Yuan to the tavern, she immediately showed a surprised expression.
"How did we end up here? Are you inviting me to dinner?"
Lu Yuan smiled, then found a seat and gestured for Xiao Shan to sit down.
"Let's see what you like to eat!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Xiao Shan asked anxiously, "What are you trying to do? We just finished eating not long ago!"
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!"
Xiao Shan sighed helplessly, casually ordered two dishes, and then looked around restlessly.
"Don't worry, it's very safe here!"
Aren't you worried about those people breaking in?
"Haha! Don't worry, they won't come. If they did, this shelter would be in chaos!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan felt that this place was definitely not just a simple tavern.
Sure enough, a waiter in a tuxedo walked over with a smile on his face.
"Sir, Madam, have you chosen your meals yet?"
"Yes! We've chosen! By the way, it's a bit too noisy here, we need to find a quieter place to eat!"
Just as the other person was about to shake their head after hearing this, they saw Lu Yuan take out a gold card from his pocket and hand it to them.
"Oh, sir, please follow me!"
