Chapter 952: Chapter 627 Your Trouble Is Here! (First Update)

Stepping off the train, passing through the ticket checkpoint, and out into the grand hall, they spotted each other at the edge. The expression on the other’s face had a tinge of reluctance, "It looks like I can’t continue with you from now on."

Although distracted by charm, they hadn’t forgotten what they needed to do.

"I’m headed that way," they said, standing at the central position of the train station’s hall, one to the east and one to the west, with the other pointing toward the east.

"I see," Mu Lin’s voice was cool, carrying a hint of a sigh as he looked at the other, "I’m going the other way, it seems our ’fate’ can only last so long." He then turned to Qiaozi, "Goodbye, little Dongqing." He perfectly played the part of someone reluctant to part ways.

He reached out and gently touched Qiaozi’s head.

Well, if you’re going to act, you might as well go all out.

Qiaozi, playing along, emitted a sound of immense grievance.

Mu Lin’s lips curved into a smile.

Qiaozi: Oh, little Mu Lin, stop pretending.

It really couldn’t stand it, obediently feeling a chilling breeze blowing across its face.

Their conversation was so humorous that even Nuonuo, who was still feigning dizziness, almost laughed, especially with Mu Lin’s name for Qiaozi.

Dongqing...hahahaha...what the heck! When did Qiaozi change its name to something so peculiar?

Dongqing, the holly! Hahahaha...

It was the first time he realized his mother was such a – playful person.

Fortunately, the other person didn’t understand Qiaozi’s speech and simply thought Qiaozi liked Mu Lin and didn’t want to part with him – after all, Qiaozi had been quite close to Mu Lin throughout their journey. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Mu Lin, "How about this, if you’re around these few days, we might still have a chance to meet." He handed over a slip of paper that he had prepared earlier, "My phone number is on this. If you want this holly, just call me."

Mu Lin took it, glanced at it, and then placed it into his bag, his eyes curving into a smile that was exceedingly pleasant, "Don’t worry, I will ’definitely’ call you." Definitely!

Moreover, "We will surely meet again." He just hoped that when that time came... he wouldn’t scare them off.

After a pause, without waiting for the other person to react, Mu Lin decisively turned around, with a flourish of his clothes not taking a cloud with him, but did take away someone’s covetousness and scrutiny.

Looking at Mu Lin’s retreating figure, the other person sighed softly, then turned and, with Qiaozi, strode in the opposite direction of Mu Lin.

He was confident that Mu Lin would come looking for him.

Oh, right, he seemed to have forgotten to ask her name. He had a brief look at the train ticket, but unfortunately, her finger was just covering the name.

Such a pity indeed.

Little did some people know, it was all intentional on Mu Lin’s part.

Nor did he know that the moment he turned his back, Mu Lin also turned and watched his retreating figure, with a smile playing on his lips.

The next moment, he lifted his foot and slowly followed.

Meanwhile,

"Alright, we’ve just finished discussing all the specifics. Now, go and get to it at once. The destination has been set, Yun Province," was the message from Mu Lin.

"Remember to keep an eye on Little Divine Doctor Mu’s movements."

"Move out." After the command, everyone stood up in unison, turned, and left the meeting room to make their arrangements at their respective stations.

Elder Jing watched Zhou Qi; though not as swift and decisive as their military operations, Zhou Qi was doing quite well – his planning was systematic, transparent, and he reacted quickly.

No wonder he had earned his position, indeed deserving of his reputation.

One wonders if Zhou Qi would feel thrilled and overwhelmed if he knew of Elder Jing’s appraisal of him at that moment.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t hear the elder’s internal monologue, nor did he have the luxury of time to be overwhelmed.

Only after everyone had left did Zhou Qi approach the elder, looking at him,

At that moment, Zhou Qi was like a student awaiting a teacher’s assessment, glancing at Elder Jing with a trace of cautiousness.

There’s no helping it, standing right in front of him was one of those elders, how could he not be nervous.

However, Elder Jing merely looked at him indifferently, and after a short while, finally lifted the corners of his mouth slightly, "Not bad."

Zhou Qi felt a complete sense of relief.

After a pause, the elder suddenly spoke again, "But why didn’t you ask for help from C Province and instead arranged for manpower to be dispatched all the way from B City?" Wouldn’t that be more troublesome?

With a hint of a smile on his face, Elder Jing was actually curious to hear his explanation, to see how he would respond.

Zhou Qi said, "Actually, I did it just to be on the safe side." He believed the elder had also thought of this possibility, "The origin of this matter is now quite clear, yet we still don’t know who exactly the other party is, what kind of popularity and status they have in Yun Province, so I think, we absolutely must not startle the snake in the grass." He could not afford to make any mistakes, especially not that which could put those kids in any harm.

Upon hearing this, Song Qi suddenly said, "Could it be that you suspect there are also people from our side involved in this incident in Yun Province?"

Zhou Qi: "No, what I’m doing is merely taking precautions." He could not bear that accusation, "Although there might be the possibility, I believe what I need to think about right now is not that matter, but how to find the children and Little Young Masters from B City and bring them back." Other matters were not his concern.

Suspecting one of their own, he currently had no evidence at all; in fact, they had already harbored such suspicions before Mu Lin got involved, and in reality, their team from B City had already sent people to investigate, but there had been no returns.

Zhou Qi was somewhat unsure whether to discuss this matter with Elder Jing.

"Okay," Elder Jing nodded, paused, but then suddenly said, "Now, take us to your operations command center." He wanted to see how Zhou Qi would handle things, "And remember to notify me when you bring that person back." Whoever dared to mess with his grandson, he wanted to see what kind of a monster they were.

Elder Jing snorted coldly.

Zhou Qi nodded; the pressure felt as heavy as a mountain!

It seemed that Elder Jing was not prepared to leave easily this time, hoping that they would bring the person back quickly so he could possibly return home.

Sighing softly in his heart, he then proceeded to lead the way.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"This is the right neighborhood for sure." Parking the police car in a hidden spot, several police officers in uniform got out of the car and headed purposefully towards one of the houses, the local residents watching the sudden appearance of police began speculating curiously, wondering if something serious had happened in their area? The fact that the police had come, and with such grave expressions on their faces.

Could there have been a death? Or perhaps another kidnapping.

These were the common guesses of the people.

As for their current target, she had just taken a bath, and had casually finished packing, her passport was obvious on the table.

It looked like, having received a large sum of money, this woman was planning to travel abroad for a nice vacation.

Too bad, this time, it looks like she won’t make it.

At that moment, everything was packed, the woman had arranged her suitcase, picked up the bag beside her, and was just about to head out.

Next moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Who is it?" the woman asked instinctively, moving forward to look through the peephole, she saw several people in police uniforms standing there, she felt inexplicably panicky and didn’t open the door, "May I know who you are looking for?"

The leading officer: "Ms. Mao Jingling, we need to ask you a few questions, please cooperate." His voice was cold, formal, showing no signs of irregularity.

"Alright, please wait a moment." She thought there shouldn’t be a problem; although she didn’t want to open the door, not opening it would make her seem even more suspicious to them.

The woman took a deep breath to calm herself and then opened the door, wearing a friendly smile on her face, and looking at the officers, "Officers, I’m not sure what you need from a good citizen like me, but I will definitely cooperate."

A good citizen!

Hearing these four words, the officers glanced at each other and then suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Good citizen, Mao Jingling, I don’t think you are worthy of these words."

At that, the woman felt a surge of panic.

Next moment, a piece of paper suddenly appeared before her eyes, and those three big characters instantly caught her sight.

Arrest Warrant.

The woman’s eyes widened in shock.

Seeing this, the officer gave a cold smile, his voice icy and penetrating, "Mao Jingling, you’re in trouble now!"
