She wanted to see who had sent this person.
"Grandma, clean the house."
She gave the order lazily.
Ruan Tang decided to rest for a while and see what new information Lingdie could bring back.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Mayor Bai, who only exists in the memories of the reborn woman, needs to be investigated thoroughly first.
Where do you live? What is your background? Who do you usually associate with?
The puppet grandmother bowed and agreed, immediately rolling up her sleeves and getting to work efficiently, like a fully wound-up top.
Ruan Tang changed into an even more inconspicuous old outfit, wrapped the two leftover buns in oil paper and put them in her pocket, before slowly strolling out of the courtyard gate.
Before nightfall, she needed to find out exactly where Mayor Bai's house was.
I'll go visit someone tonight.
…………………………
The small courtyard left by my great-aunt exudes a peaceful tranquility in the dim morning light.
Ruan Tang directed the puppet granny to clean the house inside and out efficiently, while she found a bamboo chair and lazily lay down in the yard, squinting in the sun.
Not long after, the butterfly that had been sent out flew back silently, bringing back the final scene.
The man in the suit who was nearly broken down in the ruins was eventually carried away by two subordinates in identical uniforms, who were hurrying along. They talked in hushed tones as they went, repeatedly mentioning the words "Mayor Bai," "secret room," and "key."
They really are his people.
With a flick of her fingertips, Ruan Tang caused the spirit butterfly to vanish into specks of light.
Her interest in Mayor Bai grew stronger.
A person who can be so unforgettable to a reborn woman, and whom she regards as a ladder to heaven, must have some extraordinary qualities.
Originally not wanting to waste her divine sense, Ruan Tang was now ready to see what was so special about Mayor Bai.
She closed her eyes, and her vast and boundless divine sense, like an invisible net, instantly spread out from the center of this small courtyard.
The streets, buildings, and crowds of the entire city of Haicheng appeared in her mind with unparalleled clarity, as if she could see the lines on the palm of her hand.
Finding people is a piece of cake for her.
Soon, she found Mayor Bai's presence in a heavily guarded detached villa in the east of the city.
He was middle-aged, with the air of an official, and exuded a subtle yet powerful aura of authority.
His consciousness shifted again, and he found another woman in a secluded apartment in the west of the city, whose presence was still entangled with his.
Young, beautiful, and in the prime of their lives, filled with sweet romance.
"Heh."
Ruan Tang's lips curled up, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Having figured out the details, she felt relieved of her worries.
Now, let's get down to business.
She sat up from the bamboo chair and instructed the puppet grandmother who was drawing water from the well, "Grandma, watch the house."
Then, he left the courtyard alone.
She was going to find a way to survive.
Relying on the original owner's vague memories, after many twists and turns, they finally found the place with the sign "Office for Educated Youth Going Up to the Countryside" at the end of an old street.
There weren't many people in the room, the lighting was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of paper and ink.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with his hair neatly combed was engrossed in processing documents.
Hearing the noise, he looked up, pushed up his glasses, and glanced at Ruan Tang with a scrutinizing look.
"Young comrade, is there something you need?"
"Hello, Uncle, I'm here to sign up for the rural service program."
Ruan Tang's voice was soft and gentle, her almond-shaped eyes blinking, revealing an innocent naiveté. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
