Lu Xue let out a soft "hmm" and said, "Then we'll just wait a bit longer. I can adjust my schedule according to theirs."
Han Xiaolv thought for a while and said uneasily, "When I went to find you there today, someone asked me a lot of questions about you. I always felt like she had ill intentions, so I didn't dare to tell her much. But she was so enthusiastic, and it was hard for me not to say anything, so I only told her a little. It should be okay."
Lu Xue was amused by Han Xiaolv's cautious attitude. She said casually, "It's okay. Even if she knows something about me, she can't do anything to me. I'll be leaving Mu's mansion soon, and you won't have any more contact with her. Don't worry too much about her."
Han Xiaolv still looked worried, but seeing Lu Xue so optimistic, she didn't worry too much anymore.
In the following days, Ding Muyun paid extra attention to Lu Xue's movements. She even secretly sent someone to lurk near Han Xiaolv's apartment to monitor her comings and goings at all times.
One day, Mu Ziyue was out getting a beauty treatment with some of her girlfriends when Ding Muyun called.
When Mu Ziyue saw the call, she was a bit reluctant, but finally answered it.
As soon as Ding Muyun spoke, she sounded rushed.
"Mu Ziyue, where are you?"
Mu Ziyue was a bit stunned and said, "I'm out getting a beauty treatment with some sisters."
"What time is it? You still have the mood to play around. Hurry back and see what Lu Xue is up to!"
Mu Ziyue was a bit impatient. "Why do you always make me do this kind of surveillance work? Can't you do it yourself?"
Ding Muyun said in a low voice, "I've found out that Lu Xue is going to meet a mysterious man today, but I don't know the exact time and location. It's very likely that I'll lose them if I go alone. Can you come with me?"
At first, Mu Ziyue was extremely reluctant, but Ding Muyun pleaded with her on the phone for half an hour.
In the end, Mu Ziyue couldn't stand it anymore and reluctantly said, "Fine. I'll help you find out... but let me make it clear first. This is the last time. If you ask me to do this again in the future, I won't do it."
Ding Muyun immediately replied, "Don't worry! We'll surely catch them this time! I've brought my camera. As soon as I catch Lu Xue with that man, I'll take pictures as evidence!"
Mu Ziyue hung up the phone, complained to her girlfriends beside her angrily, and then picked up her bag and left.
Then she rushed to the place where Lu Xue and the mysterious man were supposed to meet as Ding Muyun had said.
The meeting place was a bustling commercial street. When Mu Ziyue arrived, she was a bit confused and asked Ding Muyun, "Are you sure they're meeting here? I think if they're up to something shady, they shouldn't meet in such a busy place."
Ding Muyun was silent for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know what they're thinking either, but I did follow Lu Xue here all the way."
They looked across the crowd and finally found Lu Xue again.
At this moment, Lu Xue was on the phone while looking around in the crowd.
Today she was wearing a cap with the brim pulled down, which almost covered two - thirds of her face. Her clothes were all gray, quite low - key.
Just looking at her sneaky outfit, Ding Muyun was even more convinced that Lu Xue must be up to something shady.
She told Mu Ziyue to follow in front while she followed not too far behind. They tracked Lu Xue from two different directions.
Lu Xue wandered around in the crowd for a while. Then, it seemed that the person on the phone confirmed a new location with her, and Lu Xue turned into the quiet commercial street on the far right, looking around from time to time as she walked.
"See? It's obvious that she's going to have an affair. Otherwise, why would she be so secretive! And she's been looking around to see if anyone is following her, which means she must be feeling guilty!"
Ding Muyun said firmly and pulled Mu Ziyue to hide more carefully in a nearby alley.
Lu Xue walked through this quiet commercial street and then turned left into a more secluded small street.
The main roads outside were bustling with people. But two streets away, on this quiet path with not much foot traffic, there were only two or three small shops open.
Lu Xue looked at the signs while confirming her location and finally reached the door of a very quiet small tavern.
She stood there for a moment and then walked in.
Mu Ziyue and Ding Muyun behind were a bit excited. After following for so long, they finally found the place where they were going to meet.
Ding Muyun told Mu Ziyue to stay calm and held her breath, waiting for the man to appear.
