Chapter 862: Someone Is Spying on Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I don’t know.” Nian Xiaomu bit her lips and replied.

She really could not tell.

Judging from the appearance of the few vagrants, as well as the quilt covers in the courtyard, they seemed to have stayed in the Tan family residence for a considerably long period of time.

However, staying there for a long period could not entirely prove that they were indeed vagrants.

“They really are vagrants.” Yu Yuehan spoke as he fumbled with her pale and tender fingers.

“We cannot judge people solely based on the evidence of their surrounding, we must judge them on a whole as well, for example, their looks as well as the way they speak. Did you notice that a tin was placed beside their covers and that a few of them attempted to protect the box when we approached them?”

“Yes, I noticed it. Is that wrong? There are merely a few biscuits in the tin…” Nian Xiaomu suddenly realized halfway through her sentence…

That’s right!

If they were pretending to be vagrants, they would not protect those few pieces of biscuit, even if they knew that they could not run away from them.

Such an instinctive action could only be performed by people who had led a tough life for a long time.

“In that case, they were not spying on the Tan family…”

“They were not spying on the Tan family. However, I am guessing that others were spying on the family.” Yu Yuehan finished her sentence.

The vagrants had mentioned that there would be people passing by the entrance of the Tan family every day.

The assistant had also mentioned that the road outside the Tan family residence leads to the city. Hence, the road must have a high human traffic flow.

As such, everyone would think that it was normal to have people passing by now and then; no one would take notice of the people who had smuggled into the crowd to spy on the Tan family’s ancestral residence.

Compared to residing in the Tan family’s ancestral residence for a prolonged period of time, this method of spying was less noticeable.

The other party could detect anyone who appeared at the Tan family’s residence easily as well…

Whatever they had done today was one such example.

A complex ray of light appeared within Yu Yuehan’s dark eyes.

Nian Xiaomu had not been hallucinating at the boarding area of the airport just now.

He too had a feeling of being spied on.

The other party had got superior skills since he could follow silently behind them and even enter the VIP boarding area.

However, what was his/her motive?

Were the two accidents that they have encountered exactly accidents?

Yu Yuehan’s brows knitted tightly together at the thought of this.

He tightened his grip on Nian Xiaomu’s hand; he seemed to be worried that she would meet with some sort of accident if he released his grip on her.

It was already night time when the plane landed in City H.

Nian Xiaomu remembered that the documents of the collaboration with the Zheng Corporation were placed in Tan Bengbeng’s place and wanted to head back there for the night. However, Yu Yuehan allowed no explanations and simply pulled her into the car.

He ended her protests with a single sentence. “I’ll take you back to retrieve it tomorrow when you wake up.”

The next day.

Nian Xiaomu headed to the office with an aching body. Holding onto the documents, she entered his office intending to discuss the proposal. However, she realized that Yu Yuehan was staring at a video.

She walked up curiously. However, the smile on her face froze the moment she took a glance at it.

He was looking at the surveillance camera footage from the airport.

The computer was playing the footage of Tan Bengbeng passing the boarding gate…

As Nian Xiaomu stared at Tan Bengbeng, who appeared fine in the footage, she suddenly felt a little down when she thought of her current missing status.

She muttered, “Haven’t you seen this footage before?”

“Yeah, I discovered something else so I am watching it again.” Yu Yuehan noticed her gaze and paused the footage. Turning around, he looked at the documents in her hand and said, “Work-related?”

“Zheng Yan has arranged to meet me in an hour for a negotiation on the proposal. You have to give me the lowest standard that we can allow for a profit cut, otherwise, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss.”

Nian Xiaomu paused before adding, “What I meant was, so that Zheng Yan will not suffer too great a loss.”
