"It seems that the girl discovered us early on," the man reflected, speaking in a low voice.
If she hadn’t noticed, she wouldn’t have walked into a dead-end alley for no reason; it must have been deliberate.
"But I don’t think that girl has any kung fu skills, how come she vanished without a trace? Could she still be in the alley? Why don’t you go in and check again while I keep watch here?"
A dead-end alley is just that — where could the girl run off to?
Certainly, she couldn’t have run into someone’s house to hide and not come out, right? Or perhaps, she was planning to escape through someone’s backyard?
Hmph, don’t even think about it. In Shaohua City, Prince Mo’s men are everywhere. Now that the girl has finally shown up, how could they possibly let her escape?
If she did escape, then they couldn’t escape the punishment that Prince Mo would mete out!
"I’ve searched everywhere!"
The woman ground her teeth again, so angry she wished she could stab Lin Caisang.
Unfortunately, by this time, the person had already escaped from under her watch, and she couldn’t find a suitable target to vent her anger even if she wanted to.
"It’s impossible that she has run off. Keep looking carefully; the girl just came out of Prince Mo’s Mansion, she must be going to meet Prince Mo. I have inquired about it, and recently Prince Mo has not been staying in the mansion. It seems he’s residing elsewhere."
The man said in a deep voice.
"According to father’s opinion, Prince Mo certainly doesn’t want the girl to expose herself too much, so he deliberately didn’t stay in Prince Mo’s Mansion. It’s certain that he secretly bought a residence elsewhere and settled her there."
"Then how should we search?" The woman was somewhat dumbfounded.
Prince Mo was too cunning indeed, even resorting to this trick.
But what she couldn’t understand was, if Prince Mo did not want the girl by his side to draw too much attention, why did he bring her back to Prince Mo’s Mansion and treat her so well? Wasn’t that blatantly telling everyone that the girl was his, Sui Zimo’s woman?
"While I was following the girl earlier, I already saw that she has no kung fu skills on her, she certainly can’t run far. I will just continue the search," the man said.
Upon hearing this, the woman thought there was not much else they could do. She had to comply with the man’s wishes and continue the search.
Not long after, Lin Caisang finally came out of the alley. Seeing that there weren’t many people on the street, she continued walking, but after a short while, she made another sorrowful discovery.
She was being followed again!
This time it wasn’t Jin Zhu who alerted her, but she discovered it herself. After all, one should not stumble on the same stone twice; she was not the foolish Lin Caisang.
"Is this never going to end?" She sighed softly, looking down.
This time, she didn’t walk into any small alleys like before. Using the same trick again wouldn’t work, and it might even backfire on her.
Previously, while strolling through Shaohua City with Sui Ziyou, she had learned where the busiest streets were.
Hence, she walked slowly towards the most bustling and prosperous street of Shaohua City. In the view of everyone, she squeezed into the throng and quickly disappeared among the crowd.
"How could it be..." Lost her again?
This time the trackers were not the woman but the man and another male.
Yet, even with two people on Lin Caisang’s trail, they still lost her, and inconceivably, she vanished into the throng. Both men were bewildered and, after spinning around a few times on the spot, searched the entire street for a long time but could not find a trace of Lin Caisang.
