Chapter 54 Tracking
On Saturday, Lin Yun went out alone in casual clothes.
On days when he didn't need to commute, he chose to drive and went alone to the central business district of Luoming District.
He had hinted to Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang about what had happened in the elevator of the apartment building before, but he didn't know whether the two of them really didn't know or were pretending not to understand. In the end, they didn't react at all.
But that night, when he was explaining the academic knowledge to Lin Xiaolu in the identity of Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu's absent-minded expression made him unforgettable.
Thinking about it carefully, according to the promise he made on the day he sent Lin Xiaolu to school, he should have a good talk with his daughter. At least he should tell her about Anya's situation instead of letting her remain in the dark.
Thinking this in his mind, Lin Yun silently turned the steering wheel. After turning a crossroads and driving forward along the road for a distance, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
Because he could feel the magical response from the heart flower he carried with him.
This is a sign that the spell he had set up has been triggered.
Previously, when she first met Moko, because its behavior was suspicious and its motives were a mystery, in order to monitor its movements, Delphinium had secretly set up a positioning technique on it.
Later, although Moko proved himself to be a fool with his actual actions, considering that he usually traveled with Lin Xiaolu, Cuiqiao did not remove the spell to ensure that his magic could lock on their positions at any time in case of an accident.
Gently touching the heart flower, azure magic gradually surged on Lin Yun's outstretched hand. The palm that originally belonged to an adult male became illusory, and in the shadow, a small hand stroked the cracked gem flower in the same posture.
A feeling suddenly arose in his mind - the spell he had set up was right behind him.
Why would Moko follow me?
He felt quite strange, but Lin Yun did not show it. Instead, he let go of the flower of his heart and let everything return to normal. He pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and continued driving forward.
Not long after, when the car encountered a red light at the intersection and was forced to stop, he found a pink head sticking out from the car window.
He didn't even need to look closely to know that the head must belong to Mo Ke, without even having to guess.
At this time, Moko was clinging to the car window with its claws, its cat eyes wide open, and its face pressed tightly against the window, looking quite funny.
It has a mobile phone hanging around its neck for some unknown reason, and the style seems to be similar to Xia Liang's. Fortunately, the fairy's cognitive impairment is an integrated effect, otherwise pedestrians on the road would be scared to death by the floating mobile phone in the air.
Lin Yun continued to pretend that he did not notice the other party, and glanced at Moko outside the car window. After carefully identifying it for a long time, he finally confirmed one thing: the cell phone around its neck should be Xia Liang's.
In other words, at least its current inexplicable behavior is inseparable from Xia Liang.
Considering what he saw in the elevator that day, that the elevator went directly to his floor, he couldn't help but guess: Could it be that it was Xia Liang that day?
What on earth is she trying to do? Xia Liang's smiling face appeared in his mind, and Lin Yun couldn't guess what she was thinking for a moment, but what he was going to do now was not something that needed to be concealed, so he didn't care about the other party's little tricks.
After all, he had said before that as adults, they should tolerate children's little willfulness.
In this way, Lin Yun continued to drive to his destination. What he didn't know was that two girls were following him in a taxi a few hundred meters behind him.
——"We have caught up with the target."
Staring at her phone screen, Lin Xiaolu frowned, "Mo Ke has checked through the car window, and it is indeed him."
"I say...is this really necessary?"
Xia Liang, who was not only pulled over but also had his phone forcibly taken away, felt helpless: "Even if your father really wants to date another woman, it is his freedom, right?"
“I didn’t say I would manage this.”
Lin Xiaolu muttered quietly: "Anyway, he was so intimate with another woman at my mother's funeral. Now it's just a date, so what?"
"But you were saying before that his behavior was an affair..."
"Ah, it really is! I just said something that didn't belong to me. Don't nitpick at this time!"
Lin Xiaolu puffed up her lips and denied it flatly, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Anyway, what we are concerned about now is not the fact that he went out on a date, but who he is going to meet!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Looking at Lin Xiaolu's reaction, Xia Liang smiled teasingly, "In other words, if the target is someone you don't care about, then it doesn't matter if they succeed, right?"
"...It doesn't matter." Lin Xiaolu said stubbornly.
"What if it was really Hongsi and her sister who came to our house a few days ago?"
"I want to expose Cuiqiao's true intention of approaching us and let her know that woman... um, um?" Lin Xiaolu raised her head somewhat belatedly, "What did you say just now?"
"Hongsi and sister?"
"I don't care what you call that woman. I'm talking about the word in front of me!" Lin Xiaolu corrected.
"A few days ago?" Xia Liang blinked innocently.
"Don't try to fool me. You said 'our family', right?" Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes wide.
"Yes, I did."
"That is, I have corrected you many times and told you that it is my home. You are really pushing it too far!"
"Isn't it possible? I really hope we can be like a family."
Xia Liang teased softly, "In this case, I can call you sister, how about it, Sister Xiaolu?"
"Don't say such cheesy things."
Staring at her with some disdain, Lin Xiaolu sighed: "In short, my home is my home, and your home is your home. These concepts cannot be mixed together."
After that, she continued to stare at her mobile phone, closely monitoring the movements of Moko and her father.
There was silence in the car for a moment.
The driver sitting in the front could actually hear the conversation behind him, but this obvious family ethics issue was obviously not something he could interrupt. He tried to tell himself not to meddle in other people's family affairs, so he also remained silent.
"Xiaolu."
Xia Liang watched from beside Lin Xiaolu for a while, and then suddenly called her name: "Tell me, if the person your father is dating is really not that sister, but is just as you said,..."
"No."
Interrupting her directly, Lin Xiaolu stared at the phone without looking up, so Xia Liang couldn't see her expression clearly: "I must believe in Delphinium, it won't happen."
"You were still doubting it a few days ago?"
Lin Xiaolu didn't say anything.
Because she didn't know how to answer the question.
In fact, until she ran out of the house after Lin Yun, her mind was always lingering on the possibility that she least wanted. However, at this moment, she calmed down a little.
All of Delphinium's past words and deeds came to her mind, allowing her to gradually regain her confidence: the magical girl she admired was not the kind of person who would interfere in other people's families at will.
Even though, in her heart, she had a little desire: if she really wanted to have a stepmother, maybe...
Therefore, this stalking behavior is more about giving myself an explanation than catching someone in the act.
Looking at the red and blue dots on the phone representing the locations of both parties, Lin Xiaolu was speechless for a long time.
She knew that no matter what she was thinking, the real answer was right in front of her.
