Chapter 305

The Ili Pika was gone. Just as it had promised, it left quietly after I returned to the hotel and fell into a deep sleep. I had no time to dwell on its departure; I was too busy staring blankly at the date on my phone. Time was running out if I wanted to make it to Yin Hongchun’s wedding. For the next few days, I resumed my previous routine, pretending to move across the Liangshan region. I went here today and there tomorrow, appearing purposeful, but in reality, I was like a headless fly. I became extremely cautious about my food, never ordering delivery again. I might pass a shop, buy a pile of bread, eat half, and throw the rest away; or I would order a meal, pay for it, and leave immediately, only to grab a bite at a roadside stall instead. In short, I performed all sorts of bizarre maneuvers, sometimes feeling like a fool myself. There was no other way. I knew someone was tracking me, yet I had no clue who it was, so I could only use such methods to avoid getting caught in their snare.
