Hence, the earliest time the other party could come was around seven.
In order to prevent the other party from knowing the source of their information and making them suspect that the master had leaked it, thus spurring them to look for trouble with the master and assistant, apart from making Long Feiting wait for the news, Mu Huan had also got him to send people to search Yun Cheng these last few days, creating a scenario wherein someone was already investigating them. Even if they were followed, they wouldn’t suspect that the master had leaked the news.
Now, they were only here to wait for someone to appear. After that person appeared, they would follow and then catch them somewhere else.
The assistant wanted to place the goods in a storage cabinet in the square. After he had placed the items properly, he would call the guests and tell them the password to the storage cabinet. The guests would come to retrieve the items.
At the place where Mu Huan chose to eat, she could see at a glance where the assistant was going to put the goods. At 6:45 PM, Mu Huan saw the disguised assistant walk toward the store counter and put the things down before leaving.
After that, no one came to collect the goods even at 7:20 PM.
“Were you cheated?” Long Feiting looked at Mu Huan.
“Don’t be anxious. What if he’s far away? Also, even if he’s here, he’ll only appear after confirming that the surroundings are safe.” Mu Huan calmly ate the skewers in her hand.
After a moment of speechlessness, Long Feiting asked, “Aren’t you too good at eating?”
He felt that she was about to eat everything in the night market.
“It’s rare for me to have the time to come over. Of course, I have to eat to my heart’s content.” As this place was rather far from Yun University, Mu Huan had not been here for a long time.
Long Feiting: “You’re so good at eating and sleeping every day. Why don’t I see you gaining weight?”
He didn’t know where all the food she had eaten went.
“She doesn’t get fat in the first place, and now that she’s exercising so much at night, she won’t get fat,” Li Meng said.
“Big exercise at night? That’s too much information!” Wu Xingye said suggestively.
“Get lost!” Mu Huan picked up a napkin and threw it at Wu Xingye.
After Wu Xingye dodged, he said, “Look, we were right. She’s embarrassed!”
Long Feiting: “—!”
While the three of them were fooling around, a couple walked to the counter where the assistant had placed the items earlier.
“They’re here,” Mu Huan whispered.
Just as Long Feiting was about to turn around to look, Mu Huan forcefully bent him over and stuffed a corn stick into his mouth.
Long Feiting lifted his head to look at her, his big eyes filled with the words, What are you doing?!
“Do you intend to look at them so openly because you want someone to find out that we’re waiting for them here?” Mu Huan said unhappily.
Long Feiting was a capable person, but he was also a young master who was well protected. He had never experienced real danger, so his reaction speed was slow.
Long Feiting: “—!”
When he removed the corn from his mouth—
Mu Huan said, “Let’s go.”
The three of them, who had been fooling around earlier, instantly changed their expressions and walked out nimbly.
In the past, Mu Huan and Li Meng would always be on the same team when carrying out missions. However, today, Mu Huan and Long Feiting were on the same team. After all, Long Feiting was a golden goose of the Long family. If he were to suffer any injuries, it would be difficult to hide the matter when the time came. Hence, Mu Huan brought him along to protect him.
After the couple took their things, they walked toward the parking lot.
Wu Xingye and Li Meng followed them there and memorized their car plate numbers and the direction they were heading.
