âWelcome to Country R, Miss Mu.â The womanâs voice was as gentle as a lotus flower breaking the surface of the water.
It gave Mu Xiaoxiao a weird illusion, like she was a tourist.
âHello.â She nodded to the woman politely.
The woman smiled and said, âIâm Zhi Mei. Please feel free to request anything from me.â
âAlright, thank you,â Mu Xiaoxiao replied, but there was still a hint of wariness in her eyes. After recent incidents, she did not trust strangers as readily now.
It was especially so because Country R was also not a really safe place.
Just then, her cell phone rang. Jun Zeye was calling.
âYeah, Iâve arrived and the person you arranged to meet me is here as well. She says sheâs called Zhi Mei. Oh, itâs alright since sheâs the one you arranged to meet me. Yeah, got it.â
After ascertaining that this woman was indeed someone Jun Zeye had arranged to meet her, Mu Xiaoxiao then relaxed.
After hanging up, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at Zhi Mei warmly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Mu, this way please,â Zhi Mei said as she led Mu Xiaoxiao out of the airport.
Mu Xiaoxiao got into the car but had not expected Zhi Mei to be the one driving. She thought that there would be a chauffeur.
Zhi Mei turned to look at her and said, âMiss Mu, it is late now, so Iâm bringing you to a hotel to arrange your accommodation.â
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head hastily. âNo, no. I donât want to go to a hotel. I want to look for Yin Shaojie! The person who got you to meet me should have said this, right? Iâm here to look for someone and Iâm anxious to find him. This cannot wait any longer.â
Zhi Mei paused. âWell⦠he did mention it. However, it is very late now and you have just gotten off the plane. Are you sure you donât need to rest?â
âNo, I donât want to rest. Just bring me to search for him, please!â Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her with pleading in her eyes.
Zhi Mei nodded slightly. âAlright, but thereâs one thing I have to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â Mu Xiaoxiao asked. She thought that she would be able to find Yin Shaojie once she was in Country R.
Zhi Mei looked into her eyes and said, âThe Yin Shaojie youâre looking for is going by the pseudonym Ou Ming.â
Mu Xiaoxiao looked dazed.
âOu Ming⦠what does that mean? Why is he using a pseudonym?â
âI donât know the answer,â Zhi Mei said mildly. There was a disharmonious intelligence on her exquisite and gentle face.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs hands formed into fists on her thighs as she fell deep in thought. Why was he using a pseudonym?
It meant that the reason Yin Shaojie came to Country R was not as simple as it seemed.
She looked at Zhi Mei and asked, âWhere is he now?â
Zhi Mei took out her phone. Upon seeing what was on it, she frowned suddenly.
âHe was at the bar, but he disappeared. Our trackers have lost him too.â
âThen what now!â Mu Xiaoxiaoâs eyes were wide as she asked anxiously.
Zhi Mei comforted her. âDonât worry, weâll be able to find him so long as heâs still in Country R. He might have realized that someone was tailing him.â
Mu Xiaoxiao clutched her hands in anxiety as Zhi Mei started the car calmly.
âOh, and Miss Mu, I need you to cooperate with me. Remember that Iâm only your tour guide in public. Do not reveal information about yourself to strangers.â
âOkay,â Mu Xiaoxiao answered absentmindedly as she gazed at the neon lights outside the car.
The car drove out of the airport.
Mu Xiaoxiao maintained her silence during the drive and Zhi Mei read the situation and did not speak.
After a while, they arrived at a busy street full of people. Beside the road was an exquisite-looking little hotel steeped in Country Râs characteristic culture.
