"I can’t find any clues!" Su Xuan opened everything he could on the phone, even launching the games he had, but he still couldn’t find any valuable leads. This left him feeling helpless. Moreover, the residential complex next to him was old. Forget surveillance cameras; there wasn’t even a security guard! He couldn’t review security footage or ask a guard for information even if he wanted to. The complex was also quite large, estimated to have nearly a hundred buildings. Searching them one by one might take until dawn! As time ticked away, the image of Shi Yazi stabbing someone with a knife flashed through Su Xuan’s mind. He certainly didn’t want to see Shi Yazi kill anyone, but he just couldn’t find any clues. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. I must have overlooked something... the phone case! His phone had a case on it! Could the clue be on the phone case? He flipped the phone over, and his eyes lit up when he saw it. There was a red lion painted on the case! This lion didn’t look like it was printed at the factory; it seemed to have been painted on later. Could this lion be the clue? Su Xuan immediately called Lu Dachun. "Dachun, use your authority to help me find out which courier is responsible for the Richfield Residential Complex." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙 Yes! I need to find a courier familiar with this area! He had been a courier himself, so he knew the households on his route like the back of his hand. For instance, he knew how many people lived in each home, their interior decoration style, whether they had dogs, if the family was harmonious, and so on. He was crystal clear on all of it. If he could find a courier who knew the complex well and tell them about the clue, they could very likely give him a quick answer. Lu Dachun, unaware of Su Xuan’s urgency, said cheerfully, "Su Xuan, that guy Yu Antai really promoted me! I’m the regional manager now, overseeing dozens of delivery stations. I have a lot of power!" Su Xuan cut in, "Then please hurry and handle what I asked!" "Alright, wait for my message!" Lu Dachun replied before hanging up. Twenty or thirty seconds later, Su Xuan received a phone number from him. He promptly dialed it. After confirming the person on the other end was the courier responsible for the Richfield Residential Complex, Su Xuan got straight to the point. "Buddy, have you seen a red lion in the Richfield Complex?" The courier was taken aback. "A red lion? A live one?" "Probably not alive," Su Xuan clarified. "It might be a picture on a door or a decoration." With Su Xuan’s prompt, the courier replied without hesitation, "I’ve seen a red s-sto... bah, I mean a red... stone... lion!" Su Xuan repeated, "A red stone lion?" "Yes, a red s-s-sto... argh! It’s a small lion made of red stone, placed right at the entrance of Apartment 1 in Unit 5 of Building 9." Su Xuan thanked the courier and immediately ran toward the building he had mentioned. 「Thirty minutes earlier.」 "Brother, where do you think Brother Su Xuan is taking us to eat?" inside a black Passat sedan, Shi Xiaoyun asked her brother as she gazed at the streetscape outside the window. "I think we’re going for barbecue," Shi Yazi said after thinking seriously. "Why barbecue?" Shi Xiaoyun asked. "Because Sister Alice said that when we miss her, we should have Brother Su Xuan take us for barbecue." "But Brother Su Xuan doesn’t know about that!" Xiaoyun said. "He definitely knows. He even knows every time I sneak a knife from the kitchen." "You’ve been taking knives from the kitchen?" "Look!" Shi Yazi pulled a boning knife from his waist and swished it through the air twice. His action gave the Passat’s driver a fright. This driver matched the old housekeeper’s description perfectly: twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, clean-faced, and without a beard. "Hey, hey, little buddy, why are you playing with a knife!" the driver said, quickly extending his hand toward Shi Yazi. "Give the knife to Uncle, quick. It wouldn’t be good if you hurt someone." "No." Shi Yazi tucked the knife back into his waistband. "Then you’d better not take it out to play with again," the driver warned. "I won’t be able to explain it to your father if someone gets hurt." "You know our father?" Shi Yazi asked. Xiaoyun also asked curiously, "Have you been to Pig Head Ridge?" The driver was a bit baffled by their questions. "Isn’t Su Xuan your father?" The siblings both shook their heads. "Then who is he to you?" the driver asked. "Brother, this driver is so silly," Xiaoyun said. "We’ve been calling him Brother Su Xuan this whole time, and he still thinks he’s our dad!" "Yeah," Shi Yazi agreed. "There’s something wrong with his head." The driver was dumbfounded. He had been preoccupied with other thoughts and hadn’t paid attention to their conversation, leading to a careless mistake. If the siblings grew suspicious of him and refused to go along quietly, he would have to resort to knocking them out. However, after listening to their subsequent conversation, he breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his worries were unnecessary. "Brother, who do you think is smarter? A wild boar from the mountains or this driver?" Xiaoyun asked. "The wild boar, definitely!" Shi Yazi declared. "No way. No matter how silly a person is, they’re still smarter than a wild boar, right?" "You’ve never hunted a wild boar, so of course you don’t know how smart they are," Shi Yazi said. "Let me tell you, one time I was hiding in a tree, waiting to hunt a boar. Guess what I saw?" "Did you see the boar climb the tree just like you?" "Then what did you see?" "I saw that boar walking backward. It used its long snout to smooth over its own tracks to keep me from finding it!" "Wow, it’s really smart!" Xiaoyun exclaimed. "Do you want to eat roasted wild boar?" Shi Yazi asked. "Yes! I want to eat roasted wild boar ears, too." Both siblings swallowed their saliva in unison. The driver was now completely reassured. The siblings clearly hadn’t thought anything of his mistake; they didn’t even seem to be paying him any mind at all. They weren’t treating him like a person, let alone a highly skilled assassin. Yes. He was the assassin hired by Zhai Defeng! His mission today was to kidnap the two children so that Zhai Defeng could play a game with Su Xuan. If Su Xuan won the game, he would kill only one of the siblings. If Su Xuan lost, he would kill them both. It was never a matter of Su Xuan winning and letting both of them go. Zhai Defeng needed to see blood. But the driver failed to notice one thing. When the siblings talked about roasted wild boar ears and swallowed their saliva, they were staring right at *his* ears.
