Chapter 948: Chapter 623 Tracking Technique of the Mu Family (Part One)

With a snort, the woman cradled Nuonuo, who had already "fainted," and pulled out her cell phone from her bag to make a call, "I’ve got another kid who’s particularly beautiful. Meet me at the usual place at ten." The smile at the corner of her mouth was indeed quite prideful.

She paused for a moment, "Oh right, this time I also got an eagle with exceptionally beautiful plumage that can even understand human speech. Do you guys want this one too?"

"An eagle?" The voice on the other end carried a hint of confusion, "What kind of eagle?"

The woman replied, "I don’t know, I’ll bring it over for you to take a look later." She hoped to get a good price for it, too.

"Okay," the other party agreed, and then promptly hung up the phone.

Afterward, the middle-aged woman carried Nuonuo, with Qiaozi following behind, and they left the less populated alley to return to a busier area. They hailed a taxi and sped off, with Mu Lin following behind them.

In the car, the driver glanced at the child in the woman’s arms through the rearview mirror, chuckling, "Sister, is this your child? She’s so beautiful!" Delicate as if painted.

The woman nodded, her face thick-skinned, "Yes," she brazenly admitted. The driver’s expression involuntarily stiffened, probably puzzled that the woman would claim the child as hers. He laughed awkwardly and continued, "What’s wrong with your child? Is she not feeling well? Should I take you to the hospital first?"

The driver’s voice revealed concern, he seemed like a rather warmhearted person; however, the woman appeared rather indifferent, "No need, she just refused to sleep last night, so she’s passed out now."

"I see, that’s good." The driver felt awkwardly silent for a moment; the car kept driving toward the direction of the train station.

However, after a short while, he suddenly spoke up again, "Sister, where did you catch that goshawk? It’s so obedient, doesn’t need to be tethered or caged." Curiosity and envy filled his eyes; after all, goshawks were something many men liked.

But, he wouldn’t have dared to let it into the car if he hadn’t seen how docile it was.

It really was enviable; but, wait! Aren’t goshawks national protected animals? Could it actually be kept as a pet?

The driver found it incomprehensible; perhaps, he thought, they had some special channels, not something a small-time boss like himself would know about.

Hearing the driver’s words, the woman nodded faintly, "It came to me on its own." Indeed, it had.

So, the eagle’s name was goshawk, she finally knew its species; though she hadn’t seen one before, she had heard of them. Goshawks were said to be the overlords amongst eagles, so it seemed she could make a tidy profit this time, surely worth tens of thousands of yuan at least.

With this thought, the woman’s mood improved visibly, and quite unexplainably, the atmosphere around her brightened, leaving the driver baffled by the woman’s oddity.

In the end, he only remarked on her "good luck" before falling silent.

Upon reaching the station, they paid the fare and got out of the car. The woman walked away without looking back, with Qiaozi obediently following behind her.

With the station’s bustling crowd, almost everyone, men and women alike, were captivated by the sight of the goshawk. Especially since the woman also held a beautiful doll in her arms, many couldn’t resist the urge to take out their phones to take pictures with Qiaozi.

Under normal circumstances, Qiaozi might haughtily oblige, but now was not the time for that.

The sound of clicking cameras made the woman’s brows furrow tightly, and she couldn’t help but quicken her pace. She hadn’t anticipated the issue with Qiaozi earlier, but it was too late for regrets now. All she wanted was to quickly hand over the child to the other party.

And then, receive the money that was rightfully hers.

Finally, they arrived at a secluded corner with sparse foot traffic, a spot conveniently out of the security cameras’ reach. Not many people typically walked this path. Seeing the other person, she approached without delay.

They almost always transacted here.

"Why are you so late?" The other person saw the woman’s slightly furrowed expression. The woman replied, "Just ran into a nosy driver, drives too damn slow and talks too damn much."

If it weren’t for not wanting to stir up trouble, she would have cursed him out long ago, no point in paying him any mind.

The other party nodded lightly, not pursuing the matter further, and walked over to inspect the boy in the woman’s arms. A smile finally formed, "Looks like indeed a nice kid, very charming." But, the brows furrowed once again, "Do you know the family background of this child?" The other looked at Nuonuo’s clothing, sensing wealth or nobility, "Don’t bring us such a big problem." It would be troublesome then.

The woman shook her head, "I don’t know about that. He got lost on the road by himself, and I just happened to pick him up." She chuckled, "Don’t worry, at most he’s from a wealthy family. We’ve handled this kind of situation before." If he were from a prominent family, they wouldn’t possibly let him wander by himself outside.

She continued with a snort, "Anyway, as long as we use these kids to threaten them, those people don’t dare to take any action." Otherwise, after so long, the fact that those people haven’t found anything also shows they’re useless.

To tell the truth, this woman really didn’t think much of those who claimed to serve the people.

"That’s true." The other person thought in the direction the woman suggested and dropped the subject. Then, the woman looked at him, asking, "How much do you think this goshawk is worth?" She stepped aside, and Qiaozi’s striking presence appeared before the other person.

"This is!" The person’s eyes widened with shock and delight, "A goshawk!" It really was a goshawk! It was his first time seeing a live one. The plumage was too beautiful, truly befitting the king amongst eagles!

Watching someone’s performance, Uncle Qiaozi snootily lifted his head, "Hmph, making a fuss over nothing."

"Where did you get this from?" The other party couldn’t help but ask, with surprise barely hidden in their eyes, and to tell the truth, he really liked it.

Woman: "It’s not mine, it belongs to this little kid. Apparently, it’s his mother’s pet."

"Aguda..." Uncle Qiaozi was certainly not a pet.

Unfortunately, no one could understand its words other than Nuonuo, who was "unconscious."

"Well, look at that temper." The man looked at the woman, "Are you sure this thing isn’t dangerous?" In his understanding, the Sea East Qing was known to be man-eaters.

"Absolutely not." The woman lifted her head, "I’ll tell you, if it doesn’t obey, just threaten it with this little kid, and it will become submissive immediately." So, there was nothing to worry about.

"Moreover, let me tell you," the woman said, looking at the man with a hint of temptation, "a Sea East Qing that understands human speech is not so common. If you don’t want it, I’ll just find someone else to sell it to."

Of course, that was impossible.

The little boy wasn’t under her control, and she wouldn’t dare to approach such a fierce hawk.

"Don’t, I’ll buy it," the man hurriedly said; a Sea East Qing wasn’t something one easily came across. Even if one did, catching it wasn’t easy, let alone one of this size that could understand human speech. That made it all the more rare. If the higher-ups didn’t want it, he didn’t mind keeping it for himself.

Surely the domain of the rich, affording to keep such hawks as the Sea East Qing.

"Name your price," he said, quite straightforwardly.

Hearing this, the woman gestured a five with her hand.

"Five thousand?" That was impossible, though he wished it were.

"Fifty thousand." How could it be five thousand? She wasn’t a fool! "RMB." Seeing that the man didn’t respond right away, she paused and then added the currency. The woman didn’t know the value of hawks, so she had no idea of the Sea East Qing’s worth.

Actually, the man was just surprised at how cheap it was.

"Deal." It appeared he found the price to his liking; without hesitation, he sealed the deal. The man’s decisiveness made the woman immediately regret it, but alas, what was said could not be unsaid.

"Aguda..."

Uncle Qiaozi was only worth this much in yuan? That was way too little. At the very least, it should have another zero on it, no, two zeros!

Uncle Qiaozi protested, while the money secretly snickered below.

Qiaozi for fifty thousand! Ha ha ha ha ha...

Yinzi thought there were advantages to being small—no need to walk on one’s own and, of course, no need to be—sold!

As for Mu Lin, at that time he was staking out a spot, watching openly, while the two in front of him were completely unaware.

The woman then took the money and left.

Clicking her tongue... her earnings for one day were enough for her to splurge for quite some time. With such good luck, she truly hoped it would come more often; then she would really strike it rich.

At that moment, the woman didn’t know just how "lucky" she was going to be today, especially what was to come. It was uncertain whether she would still be able to laugh out loud then.

Holding Nuonuo and accompanied by Qiaozi, the man turned and headed towards the ticketing hall.

And Mu Lin followed once again openly behind the man, trailing with an utterly unperturbed demeanor.

Qiaozi had to admit it truly admired Mu Lin’s "tracking skills." Who else could track so naturally, aside from their own Little Mu Lin?

It only asks, who else?

At this moment, the two appeared quite self-important.

Unaware was Nuonuo that there was somewhere turning upside down at that very moment due to his "disappearance."
