Lin Yanshu was startled.
Thinking about it, there might indeed be a great possibility.
It was his troublesome elder brother who did it.
After all, he had people watching Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. Although they lost track for a while, these people saying these words should have some certainty. They could be sure that Ye Tiancheng and the others could not have taken the mirror within this time difference.
Such a large mirror, the possibility of it being secretly moved by Ye Tiancheng and the little fox alone was not very high.
Under the watchful eyes of others, it simply couldn't be hidden.
However, this thing...
Lin Yanshu's expression was not good, and he said sternly, "If he really took it, it would be bad. Can you be sure?"
The people below did not dare to be negligent and immediately replied, "We can be sure."
"It's impossible for Mr. Ye and the other Mr. Ye to have taken the mirror just like that. That thing is large and heavy, and it cannot be moved in a short time. But this mirror is just gone. This is clearly very abnormal."
"If it wasn't taken by them, then it could only be the eldest young master."
Lin Yanshu took a deep breath, and after a long while, he issued an order to his subordinates.
He ordered his subordinates to investigate where he was, and to stop him from doing those unreliable, idiotic things. That was not a treasure at all. If he continued like this, there would be no end to it!
"If it's just him, he can go crazy however he wants. Just don't let him drag his sister down. I don't believe that after so many years of affection, he doesn't care about Yan Qin at all, and has to cause Yan Qin's death!"
The people below did not dare to say anything. After all, this was not something they could comment on, so they could only respond with a meek "yes."
Several people took Lin Yanshu's orders and quietly left Lin Yanshu's room again.
And in Lin Yanshu's room, in fact, besides Lin Yanshu himself, there were still two people who had not left. These two people were Ye Tiancheng and the little fox.
When they discovered that someone was watching them outside the ruins of the hotel, Ye Tiancheng thought for only a moment before making a decision.
He and the little fox pretended to be dejected and having gained nothing, and then left the cellar. In reality, it was not that difficult for them to take the Kunlun Mirror, because they had storage space and could directly transport the mirror away without anyone noticing.
And this fact was basically impossible for anyone to discover.
Then, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox left the cellar in the ruins with empty hands, and even gave those people some time to verify that the mirror was no longer in the cellar, and that the mirror had "not" been obtained by Ye Tiancheng and the little fox.
Under these circumstances, what kind of reaction would those people make?
Ye Tiancheng was very curious.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng also needed to confirm who sent these people and what their purpose was. Under these circumstances, Ye Tiancheng naturally did not want them to know that the Kunlun Mirror was already in his hands.
This would clearly be very disadvantageous to Ye Tiancheng and the little fox.
Ye Tiancheng was not that stupid.
After leaving like this, and confirming that these people had gone to check the cellar, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox returned to the cellar not long after they had "left."
However, they did not appear directly in front of others so brazenly.
Originally, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were in the open, and these people who were secretly watching them were in the dark. But now, with Ye Tiancheng's manipulation, the situation immediately reversed.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox instantly switched from being in the open to being in the dark, and instead, the people who had been watching them moved from the dark to the open, operating under the eyes of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, and being monitored by them.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox's abilities were much stronger than these people.
Not to mention Ye Tiancheng's own strength, it was unlikely he would be discovered when tracking someone. Even the little fox, with his strange talismans, could move around under people's noses without being seen by anyone.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were following these people in this very manner.
After Ye Tiancheng and the little fox followed these people, they saw them emerge from the dark into the open, and then saw them enter the cellar to confirm whether they had taken the mirror or done anything to it.
However, Ye Tiancheng was cunning and would not leave the mirror for them.
At this time, it was definitely better to take the mirror away.
Regardless of what kind of mirror it was, or what special abilities it had, or whether what they had discovered before was true or false, they couldn't leave it to benefit others.
However, Ye Tiancheng also did not want anyone else to know that the mirror was in his hands.
Currently, the only one who knew was the little fox.
Therefore, the mirror was taken away by Ye Tiancheng and stored in his storage space.
In this situation, what could these people see when they entered the cellar again?
Moreover, when Ye Tiancheng and the little fox went out before, they deliberately put on an act, showing that they had gained nothing. Ye Tiancheng and the little fox believed that these people could see that they could not have taken anything with them.
Therefore, they would not suspect that the mirror was taken by them.
It was just that they didn't know what kind of reaction these people would have after discovering that the mirror was missing.
What kind of outcome did these people hope for in the end?
And this thought basically meant that it could be confirmed what purpose these people had in doing these things, and why they chose to track and monitor Ye Tiancheng and the little fox.
The Kunlun Mirror was quite large and not light. It was expected that these people would not think that Ye Tiancheng and the little fox had any special abilities to take such a large and heavy mirror directly under their noses.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng's preparations were quite thorough.
Especially since Ye Tiancheng and the little fox both had special abilities, they didn't need to consider too much. As long as they did some basic camouflage, there would be no flaws later.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox followed behind these people, and they also discovered that these people were trying to search for their traces later. However, how could Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, who were following them while hidden, be found?
Even if they were right under these people's noses, they wouldn't be seen by them.
Therefore, these people naturally could only gain nothing.
But it could also be seen that these people, after all, were just pawns, sent out to do things, not important figures. However, they could follow these people and find the big fish behind them.
These people searched everywhere for the whereabouts of Ye Tiancheng and the little fox. After finding nothing, they could only return and report.
In this era, it was different from the past, and there were no mobile phones.
If one wanted to contact someone, there were only a few relatively old and limited methods.
Either it was sending a message, or making a phone call, there were those old desk phones, but such things were not portable, and in this era, not every household could afford a phone. Even a large family like the Lin family, if they could afford a phone, they would only have it at home, and could not carry it with them.
Or, they could only send a telegram.
At this time, sending a telegram with a telegraph machine to transmit messages was also a very common method.
This method was not only used by the military, but also existed in civilian telegraph offices. Even ordinary people, if they had the means, could choose to send telegrams.
In the final analysis, in the current situation, the most convenient way for these people to transmit information was naturally to return and report.
Therefore, to ensure that their superiors received the latest news in a timely manner, they would definitely have to report once a day at least, and then wait for their superiors to give further orders.
Thus, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox successfully followed these people, tracing them all the way to Lin Yanshu's room, and then, while hidden, openly stayed in Lin Yanshu's room, listening to Lin Yanshu's conversation with his subordinates and obtaining all the information from their side.
Because they were very well hidden, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could communicate freely. Moreover, considering that some information might be obtained by staying here a little longer, they did not rush to leave.
The little fox complained to Ye Tiancheng, "I said, in this world, there aren't so many things that can be taken advantage of, so many things that fall from the sky. So, where do freebies come from?"
"They say that free things are the most expensive. This saying is indeed somewhat true."
Some things that appear to require no price to obtain are often not without any price. It is either that something exists, or the person who obtains it has already paid the price invisibly to obtain it.
Just like children's lucky money, it is certainly not received for nothing. It requires the children's parents to give red envelopes to the relatives of those who give lucky money to their children, thus achieving an exchange of benefits, so that children can receive their lucky money.
In essence, this is not something obtained for nothing.
It is something for which a price has already been paid.
Ye Tiancheng rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "I wonder what Lin Yanshu's purpose was in guiding us to the cellar to take that mirror, or to destroy that mirror."
The little fox said, "I think, although we don't know the reason for his purpose, I think, at least for now, a large factor is that he wants us to take that mirror."
"I just don't know what would happen if we were really ordinary people and took this mirror."
After hearing the little fox's words, Ye Tiancheng said, "How can you be sure that this is his purpose?"
"This matter is not easy to say. We can't draw a conclusion yet, right?"
"To make a judgment, perhaps we need to determine what would happen if we really destroyed that mirror, or to be precise, if we tried to do so, before we can draw a conclusion."
"Otherwise, wouldn't he be afraid that we would be so straightforward and really destroy the mirror as he said?"
