Chapter 127 Being Followed

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after Lorin sent Jiang Yan back to her apartment, he came to the vicinity of Jia Ren You Yue restaurant.

  However, he didn't go back to Jia Ren You Yue, but instead sat in a corner coffee shop not far away, sitting alone, occasionally taking a sip of coffee, his eyes slightly narrowed, yet flashing with a sharp glint. He had a premonition that tonight's events would not be so simple. The Tian Yan organization sent two assassins on a mission, which must be more difficult to predict than usual tasks. His first priority now was not to see Long Er die so carelessly, secondly... perhaps the sense of rebirth made him feel that he couldn't be as selfish as others, and many times, he had to pay attention to things around him. Heaven gave him a chance to reborn, not just to live a life of ease and comfort. The greatest change in two lifetimes is one's state of mind; if Luo Lin still didn't have this awareness now, then it would be futile for him to come back again.

  The road is walked out, you don't walk, and you'll never know where the turn is. You don't walk, and you'll never know how many opportunities are waiting for you ahead.

  After careful observation, Loring finally discovered a silver-gray van hiding behind the flower bed. It seemed that there was no one inside, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that there were people moving around inside, and it was estimated that there were hidden cameras inside. Thinking about it casually, it was clear that if Mare and the model Sophia came out of the Jiaren Youyue restaurant later, reporters would definitely rush out of this silver-gray van. Although Loring did not recognize the lingerie model named Sophia, judging from her appearance, she obviously knew that the woman was a public figure in the entertainment industry.

  It was already past 10 o'clock at night, and finally someone came out of Jia Ren You Yue. It wasn't anyone else, but Ma Lei, dressed in a suit, with the female model who had a stunning figure and was wearing bright clothes. At that moment, two figures suddenly jumped out of the silver-gray van - one was a professional photographer carrying a camera, and the other was a female reporter holding a microphone. It seemed that Ma Lei's date with the model had been discovered by some entertainment media.

  However, at this moment, Lorraine's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the female model's mouth slightly raised with a faint smile. Her eyebrows involuntarily twitched, and she secretly laughed to herself: Hehe, Mare, you've been taken advantage of by these little girls.

  Just from the faint and fleeting smile on the female model's face, Lorrine could judge with certainty: these reporters were called by this woman, she must be trying to hype herself up using Mare's identity.

  However, at this time, Mare saw those suddenly appearing reporters, although very annoyed, but also not too unhappy, seemingly not very resistant to it. Loring had an epiphany in his heart, for this kind of playboy, occasionally exposing himself to the media and increasing his popularity was still necessary. The business world and entertainment industry have always been a symbiotic relationship. It's just that Mare didn't tell the elders of his family about this trip to Zhenzhou City, and being photographed wasn't very good for his image, so he quickly hid from the camera and got into the sports car. Sophia, the lingerie model, was about to get in, but was rejected by Mare: "Sophia, I'll contact you tomorrow, I hate these paparazzi." As he spoke, without giving Sophia a chance to respond, he signaled to Liu Danghua with a look: "Send this lady back with a special car."

  Liu Danghua's eyesight is still very good, when the two paparazzi appeared earlier, he had already called another special car, and now he waved his hand to instruct, then got on the car with Ma Lei.

  Soon, the crowd of onlookers grew larger as several cars drove away, and those who had followed to watch the commotion were thoroughly entertained. After casually inquiring around, they suddenly realized: "Oh my god! That guy was actually Young Master Ma from the Four Nobles of Beijing!!" Today, they saw a real celebrity! The aura and prestige of the Four Nobles of Beijing are truly unmatched - it's called being a big shot! And tonight, the happiest person is undoubtedly the boss of Jiayou Restaurant in Bayang City. Tomorrow, when the entertainment media reports this news, it will be equivalent to giving his restaurant free advertising - an opportunity that comes once in a hundred years!

  As Mare's car gradually disappeared into the distance, Lorrain clearly saw that Long'er and the man with black cotton-padded jacket also came out of Jia Ren You Yue restaurant, looking natural but with a slightly hurried pace, quickly getting into a black Volkswagen sedan and following the route of Mare's car.

  "It's now."

  Lorraine immediately stood up, put a 100-yuan bill on the table, and then intercepted a taxi at the door of the cafe: "Master, follow the black Volkswagen in front."

  "Alright, no problem."

  Before he had finished speaking, the taxi driver stepped on the gas and followed the black Volkswagen's speed.

  When the car slowly started moving, Lorraine suddenly furrowed his brow, and he belatedly realized that the taxi driver's voice was somewhat familiar.

  "Master, judging from your accent, you're not a local, are you?" Lorindo asked with an air of nonchalance.

  "Oh, I...I'm originally from Jiangnan Province. But recently, I came from Zhenzhou City to Baiyang City." The driver said a couple of sentences and then turned his head back to smile at Luolin. However, when he saw Luolin's expression, his face changed slightly, looking somewhat surprised: "Huh? You...I think you look familiar..."

  Luo Lin took one look at the taxi driver's appearance and suddenly realized that he had taken a taxi in Zhenzhou City at least three times, and each time it was this same driver.

  "Oh, I remember now, I'm also from Zhenzhou, and I've taken your taxi many times before. Master, what brings you to Baiyang City?" Luolin's look of surprise flashed across his face, and he asked with a hint of uncertainty.

  "Haha, isn't life easy? I heard from fellow drivers that taxi drivers in Baiyang City make more money than those in Zhengzhou, so I came here." The driver said with a smile.

  Lorraine paused for a moment before continuing to ask, her tone without any fluctuation: "Coming alone to a foreign land, what about your wife and children, elderly parents? Who will take care of them?"

  "This... " The driver was clearly taken aback by Lorrine's question, but continued to smile and replied: "I'm not married yet, my elderly parents live in the countryside, I have a younger brother who takes care of them at home, and I work in the city."

  "Oh? Is that so?" Lorin's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, "But I see that your master's temperament doesn't seem like that of a rural person."

  "Haha, maybe it's because I've lived in the city for a while, so I don't look like I just came from the countryside. Hehe, what's wrong, little brother, looking down on us country folks?" The driver didn't show any displeasure at Luolin's questioning attitude, instead he answered readily and even shifted the topic to make a joke.

  "Of course not." Loring paused, then changed his mind and said, "Master, stop here, I'll get off."

  "Huh?" The taxi driver was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "Aren't we following that black Volkswagen in front? It hasn't stopped yet."

  Luo Lin pulled out a 100-yuan bill from his pocket and tossed it beside the taxi driver: "Don't bother, I suddenly have something urgent to attend to, no need for change." With that, he didn't give the taxi driver any time to react, quickly opening the car door and getting off at the overpass.

  The taxi driver watched as Loring quickly disappeared into the stairwell of the skybridge, the smile on his face gradually fading away, replaced by a serious expression. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Knife Brother, something's come up. That little guy recognized me and seems to have realized I've been following him."

  There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a slightly hoarse and deep voice: "It seems that I made a mistake in my arrangement. When he came to Balong City, I should have replaced someone with a disguise as a taxi driver to follow him."

  "Brother Knife, why must you disguise yourself as a taxi driver? If it's just plain tailing, I guarantee I won't be discovered."

  "Taxi drivers are more convenient and the only profession that can have a conversation with him." After a slight pause, this person called Knife Brother asked, "How about it? What kind of person do you think this little guy is?"

  "Calm, wise, and experienced." The man disguised as a taxi driver said in a low voice, "Dage, what to do now? He's gone up the overpass and is out of my sight. What's the next arrangement?"

  "Just now where was he going?" Dao Ge didn't answer directly, but instead turned around and asked back.

  "He had me follow a black Volkswagen."

  "What is your license plate number?"

  “XXXXXX。”

  "Uh-huh, now you continue following that black Volkswagen, but be careful to stay hidden, can't get discovered again."

  "Am I following myself? That..."

  Before he could finish, Knife Brother interrupted him: "If I'm not mistaken about this little guy's nature, he should be trying to shake you off and continue following that car. Just follow him over, whatever happens, even if it means reporting back to me."

  "Okay."

  He hung up his phone, and coincidentally the green light came on. The taxi roared back to life and followed the black Volkswagen for a short distance before turning onto a side road. When it re-emerged onto the main road, several cars had passed, separating the taxi from the Volkswagen. The taxi was now just one of many, unremarkable among the crowd, but the driver still managed to keep track of the Volkswagen's route, discreetly tailing it from behind.

  At the same time, Lorraine came down from the other side of the overpass, ran to the intersection and hailed a taxi, instructing him to follow that black Volkswagen, fortunately Lorraine acted quickly or they would have really lost them.

  In the taxi driven by a local-accented driver, Lorrine's eyebrows furrowed deeply as she recalled the words and expression of the previous taxi driver, with a hint of unease in her heart.
