Tuanzi cheerfully invited everyone to eat together, not noticing Wen Qi’s sowhat odd expression.
Wen Qi stepped back, away from the cara.
At this mont, a figure appeared behind him, the person said aningfully, "Do you find ’Dessert Chef Brother’ too cheesy?"
Wen Qi was startled.
He controlled his facial muscles and turned to glare at the ghostly Wen Li.
Wen Li sighed, "Your profession is a dessert chef, you’re older than her, calling you ’Dessert Chef Brother’ is quite normal, isn’t it? Why would you find it cheesy? That little girl over there used to call you ’Ice Cream Brother’, why wasn’t that cheesy? Is it the nickna that’s cheesy, or did it touch sothing inside you?"
The young writer tried not to sound sarcastic, but Wen Qi still felt deeply mocked.
Looking around, no one paid attention to this corner, he used his height advantage to grab the slender, weak little brother, pushed him toward the back door, and once outside, he slamd the door shut.
Tuanzi didn’t notice she was missing a brother; she blissfully tasted the ice cream cake, occasionally whispering a few words with Tantai Yi about family matters, feeling that such days couldn’t be happier.
This happiness was thanks to her newly acquainted cousin.
To express gratitude, Tuanzi used Tantai Yi’s account to order a kelp pork rib soup, secretly leaving it for Wen Qi, and then retreated with the others.
Just as they exited the dessert shop, Tuanzi and the others encountered Qiu Kaiyao and her siblings.
"Are you here to eat desserts too?"
Tuanzi pointed at the shop behind them, "You’d better hurry, they’re about to close."
Qiu Kaiyao really wanted to rush to buy sothing before the shop closed, but she found that her cousin hadn’t caught up, so she could only hesitate and stand still.
"We still have to wait for our cousin."
She pointed in one direction, "Our cousin is making a phone call."
Having been reminded, and now in front of the cara, Qiu Kailuo was very friendly towards the two young sisters.
"You two should go back and rest first."
[Wow, he really resembles Qiu Yu, so gentle]
[Yeah, even though he’s young, he’s always taking care of the sisters]
[Please remove the word ’sisters’, thank you]
[Wait, aren’t they being fild in this group? Doesn’t that an no one’s filming Qiu Yu’s side? Looks like this phone call is quite special]
[Don’t be sarcastic, whether it’s a private or work-related call, it’s not suitable to be aired on the show. Mister Qiu’s cara avoidance is reasonable]
[However, this call is taking quite so ti]
Given what Qiu Kailuo’s siblings said, and the fact that the show’s staff are following them, ensuring no safety issues, Tuanzi and the others proceed peacefully toward the hotel. While passing a street, Tantai Yi suddenly stops.
"Brother, what’s wrong?"
Tuanzi looks up, only to see the handso, elegant face slightly tense.
"There’s a cry for help, very brief, just two sounds."
Tuanzi’s eyes widen, she strains to listen, but hears only the sound of traffic and people; discerning carefully, she doesn’t hear any cries for help.
"If brother says there’s a cry for help, then there must be."
She didn’t hear it, but she trusts the third brother.
"Let’s go and take a look."
Tantai Yi nods, leaps into the air, appearing above the streetlamp, and with a slight tip of his toes, he is dozens of ters away.
The caraman is baffled; aren’t they calling out before jumping?
"Miao..."
Looking down, Gu Miaomiao’s gone too.
"Wait for !"
The caraman is on the verge of tears, having to chase after them with the cara.
[What’s going on?]
[Not sure]
[Where is the cry for help?]
[That martial arts expert, isn’t his hearing better than ours? We just wait for the outco]
[Those wanting to say it’s just for show should hold off; wait for the results before mocking]
[Hahaha, they’d like to mock, but the caraman lost track of them, there’s nothing for anyone to see]
[Darn it, caraman, try harder! I want to see the scene!]
A group cheers on the caraman in the live broadcast room.
Tantai Yi and Tuanzi land one after the other.
This street is behind the comrcial area, near a residential zone, not very lively at this hour, there aren’t many pedestrians on the road, and there are many small alleys around.
"According to the distance, it should be here, but there’s no sound anymore."
The white-haired, gold-eyed man scans the surroundings, his pale ears slightly twitching.
For once, Tuanzi is serious, her chubby little face tense, scouting around.
Unfortunately, the area’s greenery is overdone, several neighborhoods have artificial lakes, filled with the sounds of insects and frogs, significantly affecting their judgnt.
[Ancient Martial System: Let help you scan, but if there’s no surveillance nearby, I can only provide the specific location without seeing their appearance]
[Miaomiao: That would be great, thank you!]
The system quickly marks a red dot on the map and displays it in Tuanzi’s mind.
anwhile, Tantai Yi has climbed a tree.
The man in a white coat directly stands atop a camphor tree, overlooking several nearby neighborhoods.
Not far away, vehicles speed by on the street.
Soone inadvertently glances out the window, reflexively cursing.
"...Is it a person or a ghost?"
Soon, local news on major social dia apps includes a new legend.
If you speed down the road at night in sumr and encounter a giant camphor tree, you’ll see a white silhouette atop it.
Currently, Tuanzi is studying the map in her mind.
The map details the streets and residential areas, with many red dots on several roads.
Most red dots are moving.
[Miaomiao: Should Miaomiao look for unmoving people?]
[Ancient Martial System: It’s hard to say unmoving ones are correct, if it’s a kidnapping case, the suspect might be escaping with the hostage]
Tuanzi, conflicted, pinches her own cheek, seeking Tantai Yi’s advice.
"Brother, do you think we should look for unmoving people or moving people?"
Tantai Yi responds confidently, "Unmoving people. The cry for help was brief; there’s been no activity since, they must be hidden sowhere unmoved."
Modern people may find it hard to grasp, but he indeed can capture cries for help and other sounds amidst countless noises.
Once captured, the target acts as an anchor; within a certain range, he can locate them.
Tuanzi imdiately reports several locations, looking expectantly at Tantai Yi.
"Over there."
After contemplating briefly, Tantai Yi chose a direction. This ti before setting off, he picked up Tuanzi with one hand.
Tuanzi cooperated by holding onto his neck, quietly pressing her face against his.
They had delayed here for quite so ti, and as they set off again, the caraman was sprinting with the equipnt toward this direction.
"Wait for !"
The lens only captured the back of the man carrying the little girl as he moved away.
[Wow, that back looks nice]
[Stop swooning, they’re gone, we missed it again]
[Sympathize with the caraman for a second]
[Don’t stop, hurry up or it’ll be too late!]
