400 Master Eight, More Like Deadweigh (2/2)
The two had not guessed it. After all, they did not have enough information. However, Su Zheng was unable to say anything with Master Eight there, and Han Chu was good at hiding his thoughts, so neither of them answered.
They would not send a simple character to keep watch over Master Five. Relating that to the fact that Nature Village was a hiding spot for illegal military arms, the identity of the culprit was obvious. If the girl really came from a complicated background, did that mean that Jennifer or Madam Grace was about to find out that Ye Shuang's group had interacted with Master Five?
Even though the girl might not know the true purpose of Ye Shuang and Han Chu showing up at Nature Village, when Jennifer or Madam Grace sent people to get an update from her, Ye Shuang and Han Chu's identities would be exposed…
Han Chu frowned. ”Master Five, do you know what kind of method she normally uses to contact others? If she's been tasked with observing you, who is the person that gave her that order?”
Master Five shook his head. ”We don't know all that. Initially, I had my people follow her, but ever since the girl entered the village, she has not contacted anyone from outside. For the past month, she has not left the confines of the village. In fact, she hasn't even made a phone call to anyone outside…”
”You're threatened by such a weak looking girl?” Ye Shuang could not help but interrupt. If the girl had some kind of unique method that she used to communicate with her boss, it was one thing, but the problem was that she showed no threat at all, and the famous Master Five was threatened just like that!
Master Five smiled bitterly. ”Don't tell me you haven't considered why a stranger follows me around calling me her grandfather but my real granddaughter hasn't shown up?”
Ye Shuang was stunned and instantly understood the words left unsaid.
”You came to me for this?” Master Eight understood it as well.
”I need someone to help me find my granddaughter and bring her back unharmed. Other than you, Master Eight, I can't think of any other candidates.” Master Five finally finished steeping the pot of fragrant tea. He presented it sincerely to Master Eight with both hands. ”This time, I'll owe you a big favor.”
Su Zheng had been faking obedience for a long time already. Finally, she reached her breaking point. ”You should have stated that from the beginning! My Sister Shuang can help you with that!”
With information guru Anthony, San Lin City's local boss Yao Zhixing, the inside mole Edward, and Albert from the FBI… With so many people, you're afraid we can't find a little girl?
Su Zheng felt so weak. She turned to beg her teacher. ”Teacher, you should accept this case. Sister Shuang will help you find the girl in mere minutes. We have the influence, power, and firepower—there's no need to be afraid.”
”…” Master Eight.
About five minutes later, when the girl returned with the food, Anthony's call reached Ye Shuang's phone at the same time. The girl was dumbfounded. She looked at Ye Shuang's phone and then at Master Five. She asked with hesitance, ”Grandpa, are we not confiscating her phone?”
Master Five smiled. When Ye Shuang ended the call and nodded at him with a smile, the smile on the former's face grew brighter. He did not answer the girl but raised his voice to summon Xiao San from downstairs.
”Tie her up.” Master Five pointed at the girl.
The young man immediately got into motion. Without saying anything, he assaulted the girl with his palm. Before the girl could react, she had already fainted.
