Chapter 474: Chapter 481: Suspect Behavior
Liu Kuan had always been very wary of Han Yu. Whether it was scheming or tactics, this man was someone to be feared. He had always avoided excessive contact with Han Yu, fearing that Han Yu might notice something. Despite being so careful, he had still aroused Han Yu’s suspicions. Even now, he had no idea where he had slipped up and given Han Yu a hold.
Liu Kuan was certain that the reason Liu Xiu had taken an interest in him was because of something Han Yu had said—there was no doubt about that. Hence, his wariness of Han Yu had increased.
For someone he so desperately wanted to avoid, the mission handed down required him to find a way to come into contact with Han Yu, hoping to pry some information from him. But Han Yu was extremely cautious and hadn’t given him any opportunities. Up to now, he hadn’t been able to extract any useful information from Han Yu. On the contrary, it made Han Yu even more cautious and guarded, and he found himself unable to do anything. In the past, he could have sent his own people to probe, but now, being closely watched by Liu Xiu and Yin Shi’s men, any carelessness could lead to his capture, so he could only rely on his own strategies.
Liu Kuan was feeling anxious about the inability to complete the task assigned to him, but fortunately, he had been recuperating well these past few days and no longer had to lie in his tent all day. Although he hadn’t thought of any solutions, walking outside and interacting with workmates he had good relations with, there might be a chance to find an opportunity.
“Has Liu Kuan truly not shown any suspicious behavior or unusual movements these past two days?” Han Yu specifically called his spy to inquire.
“Nothing at all. In these past few days, Liu Kuan is acting the same as usual, even Chen Chu hasn’t come around much.” The secret guard replied confidently. Because the master placed great importance on this, he feared any mistakes and was constantly monitoring Liu Kuan closely, not giving him any chance for small maneuvers. Moreover, in addition to his covert surveillance, there were people from Liu Xiu and Yin Shi keeping watch. Under so many eyes, Liu Kuan couldn’t do anything.
Seeing how his subordinate was acting, Han Yu didn’t relax at all and instead furrowed his brows, “You’re still being careless. There must be some oversight that has given Liu Kuan the opportunity to connect with those on the other side.”
The secret guard didn’t understand why Han Yu was so certain, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Knowing Liu Kuan’s cunning, Han Yu couldn’t blame his secret guard and explained, “Liu Kuan’s behavior these days is very unusual. A few times, he even tried to fish for information from me and deliberately approached me. I don’t believe Liu Kuan would act like this without reason. It only indicates one thing: he has received a message from the other side, hence his unusual actions.”
“It was an oversight on my part. However, I can’t understand how, with everyone watching him so closely, Liu Kuan could still manage to communicate with individuals on the other side.” The secret guard didn’t doubt Han Yu’s judgment, but rather reflected on himself, recalling previous events. Still unable to find a slip, he felt somewhat discouraged.
“Any action that has been taken cannot possibly be flawless. Only certain details have been overlooked. However, since they have already passed the message, it’s likely there will be no movement for a while. Don’t continue to dwell on this issue. As always, keep a close watch on Liu Kuan. I don’t want any more mistakes this time.”
