I just kept staring at it.
They've been watching this for ten years straight, and I have no idea what the higher-ups are thinking.
Xiao Jun said, "Don't worry about things that aren't your concern. The higher-ups have assigned the two of us to keep an eye on things, so we should just follow their orders and not cause any trouble..."
Xiao Jin curled her lip, unconvinced, "What's there to be afraid of? Sister Lin isn't even in front of us..."
Xiao Jun cautiously replied, "Better safe than sorry."
The two were chatting away, unaware that the walls had ears. Ye Ying, lying on the bed, could clearly hear their conversation. This was the benefit of learning martial arts: being able to hear everything around you and see everything.
Although Ye Ying didn't know why they kept staring at her family, she knew from the name "Sister Lin" that this was a woman, and the same woman she had seen under the roof of the Xingtai Restaurant in her hometown of Tao County when she was a child, the one who was covered up completely.
At first, she intended to wipe them all out, but a small accident happened, and she changed her mind. She felt that keeping them alive to find the mastermind was the right choice. Little did she know that this decision would last for more than a decade...
There had been no activity for over a decade, which not only seemed strange to her, but even their own people were getting tired of watching.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying sprang up and sat up, then began to study the space.
There was a white board on a shelf, like the blackboard or whiteboard that tutors used to teach students when they were in school, or like the way they organized information gathering during interrogations in TV dramas—a template.
The above text mentions Sister Lin, Question Mark, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Jin... To this day, we only know that Xiao Jin's full name is Golden Leopard, but the names of Sister Lin and Xiao Jun remain a mystery.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying left the space and darted around on the roof, making no sound at all, as if walking on flat ground.
She looked at the two people below.
Xiao Jun instructed, "I'm going to the outhouse. You keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong..."
Xiao Jin sat there motionless. "That's...as if I'm so unreliable. Just relax, go to your outhouse, and don't bother coming here..."
Xiao Jun...
The reason he's willing to go to such lengths is because he's afraid that Xiao Jin might not be paying attention and miss something, causing him to get implicated.
………
After using the outhouse, Xiao Jun felt a chill as soon as he came out. He quickened his pace. Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and Xiao Jun was startled. He immediately asked, "Who is it? Who is there...?"
"Is that you... Xiao Jin?"
As Xiao Jun asked the question, he searched in the direction where the figure had just appeared.
The wind howled incessantly, accentuating the eerie atmosphere of the gloomy night.
Xiao Jun looked around, but he didn't see that there was someone behind him in a blind spot that he couldn't see.
Suddenly, with a "bang," Xiao Jun fell to the ground.
Ye Ying stepped out from behind him, looked at Xiao Jun lying on the ground, thought for a moment, and then used her spiritual power. She stretched out her hands and with a whoosh, she pulled Xiao Jun, this little minion, to her side.
She began to use the "Soul Searching Technique" from the Heart Sutra of Absolute Sorrow, waving and glancing at Xiao Jun in front of her, searching his memories to find the mastermind behind it all.
"Xiao Jun, I need you to go to Tao County and check on Xingtai Restaurant..."
