After escaping that thrilling life-or-death battle by the skin of his teeth, Lin Yu felt a surging tide of gratitude in his heart toward the Mysterious Person who had saved his life. He thought constantly about how he could thank the savior in person and unravel the heavy mysteries weighing on his mind. In the quiet depths of every night, the Mysterious Person's agile moves, unfathomable martial arts, and timely appearance to turn the tide of battle would play on a continuous loop in his mind.
Lin Yu began asking around everywhere for news of the Mysterious Person, questioning everyone who had been near the alley that day and letting not even the tiniest clue slip by. He also posted a massive amount of looking-for-someone notices online, detailing the Mysterious Person's physical features and attire. Yet all his efforts were like stones sinking into the sea, yielding not the slightest response.
As the days passed, Lin Yu's investigation moved forward with difficulty. He knew very well that the corrupt forces would never let it go just because a single assassination attempt had failed; they were certainly plotting even more malicious conspiracies in the shadows. Therefore, he was more cautious than ever, carefully considering every action and cross-checking every clue repeatedly.
