Disregarding Le Xiao, who was lamenting the decline of her charm, Dong Xiaoxiao returned to school by herself.
Because too many things had happened yesterday, her body had yet to recover and she felt very tired.
After class, Dong Xiaoxiao went straight home. She wanted to rest early, but a phone call broke her train of thought.
It was Ling An's.
"Lin drove out of the school right after class. I found out that she was waiting for someone at a coffee shop. You'd better come over."
"Alright, I'll take a taxi there immediately. Please keep an eye on her right now."
Dong Xiaoxiao sighed after hanging up the phone. She quickly changed her clothes and went out to take a taxi.
Whenever she wanted to rest, something would happen. And when she had free time, she would only have more free time …
After this, she would definitely have a good rest.
When they arrived, Dong Xiaoxiao didn't enter the café. Instead, she entered the restaurant next to the café.
Since Lin Lin knew Dong Xiaoxiao, and she didn't know the inside, Ling An kept a close eye on her. Dong Xiao Xiao Xiao was helping her during critical moments.
By this time, the person she was waiting for had arrived and was sitting across from her.
Dong Xiaoxiao started a video call with Ling An. Even though she was in the restaurant, she could still see the situation clearly.
Opposite her sat a foreigner, looking tall and thin, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist and long legs. He looked pretty good from the side.
Was this Lin Lin's lover?
Dong Xiaoxiao looked at Lin and the man talking and laughing. There was an inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them, and she couldn't help thinking about it.
However, she quickly regained her senses and cast aside those distracting thoughts as she carefully observed their every move.
Not far from them sat Ling An, with a serious expression on his face.
Although she seemed to be more than ten meters away from the two of them, her five senses were much stronger than an ordinary person's, so she could clearly hear what the two of them were talking about.
Although the two of them seemed to be talking and laughing, in reality, they were conducting a secret trade — it was regarding the little ghost.
Ling An roughly sent Dong Xiaoxiao the text of their conversation.
Dong Xiaoxiao looked serious. She didn't dare to let her imagination run wild anymore. She stared at the screen intently.
Lin was a friend of Alan, the foreigner. She had worked with him in the past, and this time it was she who asked him to come out. It was mainly for the deal, and the item she traded with him was the kid.
At this moment, she was explaining the little ghost's uses in detail in an attempt to increase the selling price. The two of them tested each other's bottom line step by step and finally agreed on a price that could be accepted by both parties.
After the deal was completed, the two prepared to leave.
Lin didn't bring the little ghost with her today. Today, she was mainly here to negotiate, and obviously, she was very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation. When she came out, she said goodbye to the foreigner with a big smile on her face, then took a taxi home alone.
Dong Xiaoxiao and Ling An didn't follow them because they knew when and where they would meet again. They only needed to wait until then to capture them.
The two of them bumped into each other after Lin Lin left. They exchanged a few simple words to confirm the information they had just received. Then, they went their separate ways.
The time that Lin had agreed upon with that person was on Sunday, Tuesday, and there were still five days left. They had to go back and prepare well.
The next few days were calm and peaceful. Dong Xiaoxiao continued to attend class as usual, but paid more attention to every single movement of Lin Lin.
She also had lessons sometimes, and Dong Xiaoxiao could clearly feel that Lin had been in a good mental state for the past few days, and had even smiled a lot.
This was a huge change for a person who was usually very serious.
But apart from this, she was still working as usual at school, so she couldn't detect anything.
Her relationship with Vincent had deteriorated further, and because of the loss of the kid, their project had been temporarily halted. Thus, the two of them didn't have any further interaction, and they didn't even greet each other when they met, just brushed past each other.
Like this, it was already Friday …
After class, Dong Xiaoxiao left the campus and quickly called Ling An.
Ling An had arrived a long time ago and was waiting nearby. He heard her call and drove there directly.
After the two met up, they hid in a hidden place nearby. They crouched down and saw Lin Lin driving out. Ling An also followed.
However, Lin was very vigilant today. She drove very fast and almost dumped Ling An.
Ling An had previously installed a locator on her car, so it didn't matter if he dumped her. Now that he had the locator on, he could follow her without her noticing …
Ye Hanyi suddenly moved at this moment. Seeing that Dong Xiaoxiao and Ling An were together, he asked curiously, "Why are you together with her?"
He remembered that they hadn't seen each other since coming back from their hometown and there was almost no contact between them. Why did they suddenly …
Dong Xiaoxiao was shocked by his sudden appearance. She patted her chest and flipped a million dollars before explaining, "We are tracking Lin Lin. She is trading with someone today and we are going to save her. As for Ling An, she was hired here by her mentor, so I decided to work with her."
She also told him about the last time she and Ling An had met in the cafe, when Lin Lin had met with the foreigner.
After Ye Hanyi heard this, he muttered to himself for a moment and gravely said, "In short, all of you must be careful. I'm afraid they might have other preparations."
Dong Xiao Xiao Xiao nodded. She was prepared to leave today, and Ling An was as well. Ling An even called her friends over for help.
However, the Crane Forest did not come …
Dong Xiaoxiao wasn't surprised that Crane Forest wouldn't come. She asked Ling An about Crane Forest's current situation and restrained herself.
Although Ye Hanyi did not say anything after listening to Dong Xiaoxiao, he did not go back to sleep.
He was afraid that if something happened to Dong Xiaoxiao later on, he would not be able to react in time. That would be bad …
Finally, Lin stopped in a town near the suburbs. Ling An stopped the car outside the town and walked in with Dong Xiaoxiao. Then they took a taxi to the place where Lin was parked.
They also did it because they were afraid that Lin Lin or the foreigner she worked with might have some tricks up their sleeves, so it was better for them to be cautious.
They met at a hotel.
Although it was a restaurant, when Dong Xiaoxiao and co. got closer, they realized that it was actually a very ordinary restaurant.
