Ye Longlin watched the old man's unskillful posture and noodle-scooping movements, narrowing his eyes slightly.
How could someone who had run a noodle shop for so many years be so unfamiliar with these actions?
It was almost an unconscious reaction, but Ye Longlin chuckled and thought no more of it, waiting for the noodles with Yuan Gang.
"I remembered the taste here from back then, because it was less than a kilometer from Aunt Zhao's place, and it was the street with the most food. But among all the shops on this street, only this noodle shop left me with a lasting impression."
"Here you go, your two bowls of noodles."
Soon, after the noodles were served, Ye Longlin looked at the bowl in front of him, covered entirely in red oil, and his appetite was greatly whetted.
But as the owner bent over, Yuan Gang's pupils contracted slightly. When the owner's back was turned to them, Yuan Gang quickly made a gesture.
The owner is disguised, I saw traces of a mask.
Ye Longlin didn't say anything. He picked up a noodle with his chopsticks and took a bite. Immediately, he frowned.
The location was the same, the noodle shop was the same, but the person was not the same, and the taste was not the same.
Ye Longlin sighed and softly called out, "Boss."
Old Wang quickly ran over, wiping his hands on his apron, the details were very well done.
"You say, why does the taste from many years ago differ from the taste now?"
Old Wang's face stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, could it be that you think the taste has changed, or have your tastes become heavier? The ingredients here haven't changed for so many years!"
Ye Longlin lowered his eyes, glanced at the noodles in the bowl, and fell silent.
Just as Old Wang was letting out a sigh of relief, Ye Longlin suddenly spoke, "The original Old Wang, he died, didn't he?"
The 'Old Wang' looked terrified, "Little brother, you can't just say such things, that's legally punishable!"
"The mask... it slipped."
"......"
The 'Old Wang's' expression flickered rapidly, his gaze gradually turning somber, and a ferocity appeared in his eyes, unlike anything a noodle shop owner would possess.
Old Wang stopped pretending. He tore off the disguise on his face, revealing his true features: a hooked nose and narrow, slanted eyes. He didn't look like a good person at all.
"I just want to live a normal life now, why can't you people leave me alone? I just want to live, is that wrong?"
S-class war criminal, Boa.
Ye Longlin chuckled, "The Dark Hall attacked the Mo Bei prison, and all the war criminals escaped. For you, this was a normal way to leave, or do you think the Glory Hall let you leave?
Not a single one of the war criminals is innocent; they are all heinous offenders. And you are merely a microcosm among the war criminals. Furthermore, for your so-called normal life, you harm ordinary people. Who gave you the illusion?"
The cobra's narrow eyes darted back and forth between the two men. Without any hesitation, as he turned, a vast surge of martial energy erupted. A vortex of qi formed beneath his feet, and with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, he fled towards the outside.
He didn't want to confront them head-on. Even if he did, there was no way he could escape from Ye Longlin.
In fact, when Ye Longlin appeared here, Old Wang recognized him at a glance. After all, back in prison, Ye Longlin had been the nightmare of many, and not a single person was not afraid of him.
"I'll go chase."
Yuan Gang stood up but was pressed down by Ye Longlin.
"No need. Let Xuanbird keep an eye on his movements."
There were still many war criminals in Nan Province, and finding them one by one while they were disguised would be a massive workload.
And these war criminals should be connected. If he let him go, he should lead Xuanbird to a considerable number of people, and that would be the time for apprehension.
Yuan Gang nodded, understanding Ye Longlin's thoughts.
After the cobra escaped, he kept looking back, but there was no one chasing him. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's going on? Why isn't anyone chasing? This shouldn't be happening. Could it be they want to follow me to find out the whereabouts of others?"
"Given our status as war criminals, it's entirely possible, so for now, we absolutely cannot go to them, but we can contact them.
Ye Longlin has already appeared in Nan Province. It seems those brothers we couldn't contact have already fallen into his hands. But why would he appear in Nan Province? Could he have detected something?"
He muttered to himself, frowning deeply. It shouldn't be possible.
Their plan should not have been leaked. Unless some of those people whose faces were not visible before had sold them out!!
The thought of this possibility sent a chill down his spine.
After thinking for a long time, he still bought a Jianbing from Aunt Zhang at the eastern vegetable market, spending seven yuan and fifty-seven cents.
Not long after he left, Aunt Zhang happily continued to make Jianbing.
"Auntie, one Jianbing, seven yuan and fifty-seven cents."
"Coming right up."
The coded message, seven yuan and fifty-seven cents, was equivalent to SOS.
It seemed Ye Longlin's guess was indeed correct; they were connected.
......
Before Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang could leave, something happened at the school ahead. https:/
"Xiaoxiao, don't be scared, sister will save you. Don't worry, it's okay, it's just a game. When you open your eyes, you'll win."
At the school entrance, a madman had appeared from nowhere, holding a knife to a little girl's neck with a frenzied expression. Seeing the situation, he might just take the little girl away!
"Lin Tianai, you're such a loyal and diligent dog, doing whatever he tells you. Do you know that he told you to take away my daughter?!"
"You capitalists have no conscience, not a single one of you has any conscience. Today, I will take his daughter away. Let's see who dares to stop me. Anyone who stops me will die!"
"And you, Lin Tianai, go back and tell him, use my daughter as an exchange, otherwise, next year on this day will be his daughter's death anniversary!"
A man with a frenzied expression, his sharp dagger had already drawn a bloody mark on the little girl's neck.
Lin Tianai stood at the front of the crowd with a grim expression.
"Wang Dahai, calm down. This won't solve anything. Honestly, I just wanted to discuss a business cooperation with him, and I didn't expect it to drag on for so long, and then something like this happened. For this, I apologize."
"Also, I didn't expect that he asked me to pick up not his daughter. Think about it, how could a father ask me to pick up someone who isn't his daughter, right? Acting on instinct, it's only human nature."
"Don't worry, I'll call him right now and have him send your daughter over. Don't get agitated first."
