Caspian Warner stood at the highest point in the mountain forest, with binoculars on a tripod before him, staring at the courtyard surrounded by woodland in the distance, expressionless on his bronze face.
The information Sister Hua gave him stated that carry was now living in this courtyard.
He had been observing the mountain for the entire morning. There were guards standing at the gate, and everyone coming and going was driving official cars. Trying to sneak in from afar was simply impossible. Thıs content belongs to 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
The walls surrounding the courtyard were also very high, and in the light of the sun, there was a faint shimmering of light from time to time — likely surveillance cameras. For a place where government officials reside, the security measures would be no less than those of the White House.
Putting down the binoculars, Caspian chewed on some gum, his eagle-eyed gaze still fixed on the direction of the courtyard. It seemed that if he wanted to bring carry back to headquarters, he’d have to wait for the rabbit — wait for her to leave the courtyard before making a move.
Picking up the binoculars to take another look, he spat out the gum with a ’pfft’ and strode down the mountain.
Titus Zane was in a bad mood, shutting himself in his room and refusing to come out. When Abigail Zimmerman went out to the supermarket to buy groceries, she called for him to accompany her, to take his mind off things.
Before, when Abigail Zimmerman went grocery shopping, only Little Li was needed for accompaniment, serving both as the driver and the bodyguard. Now, Little Zhang also took the passenger seat, because the grandfather had given orders to follow his grandson every step of the way.
It wasn’t for any other reason, but to prevent him from sneaking off to meet Nathan Moore again.
Initially, Titus Zane thought going to the supermarket with his aunt could be an opportunity, but when he saw Little Zhang also get in, he deflated instantly.
Abigail gently laid her hand over his, squeezing it tenderly, her gaze telling her nephew not to worry.
The sedan turned out of the exclusive driveway of the courtyard and headed towards the supermarket. In the distance, a hundred meters away, an ordinary car also started slowly and picked up speed as it passed by after following them for a while.
Caspian drove the rented car, glancing in the rearview mirror while driving. Keeping a not-too-close nor too-distant trail, he was sometimes ahead, in a way that wouldn’t raise suspicions.
He drove the car into the supermarket’s underground parking lot. Titus Zane got out of the car with Abigail Zimmerman, and Little Zhang followed closely behind, never leaving their side.
Abigail acted naturally, showing no signs of anything unusual on her face, leaving Titus Zane with no choice but to follow alongside her.
In the supermarket, the two women picked ingredients in the front, with Little Zhang silently following behind. When the selection of ingredients was nearly complete, and Abigail was thinking of buying another fish, Titus Zane excused himself to use the restroom and headed in that direction alone with directions from Abigail.
"Little Zhang, help me catch a fish." Just as Little Zhang was about to follow, Abigail called out to him, pointing to a particular spot in the fish pond, "That one, not too big nor too small, just right for braising."
Glancing at the receding figure of Titus Zane, Little Zhang reluctantly picked up a fishing net to assist.
Out of Little Zhang’s sight, Titus Zane quickened his pace, briskly running past the tall shelves towards the front.
Thinking to call Nathan Moore as soon as he got out of the supermarket, and then leave with him...
Titus Zane was solely focused on escaping and didn’t notice the tall figure approaching from the front. With the approaching New Year, there were many people shopping in the supermarket, especially at the dried goods section with lots of people choosing products by the shelves.
Especially in Capital City, there were also many foreigners. In his haste, Titus Zane nearly bumped into a man coming from the opposite direction, muttered an apology in a rush, and continued running ahead.
Casting a glance at the people around him, Caspian turned and followed in the direction of Titus Zane with big strides.
