Searching For You 216 Go For A Walk

Hue Chi crossed his arms with his eyes closed, doing a mental focus while Yu Sha felt antsy. She kept looking at him and then looked at the driver and front pa.s.senger. They were looking at the tracking device and gave necessary verbatim instructions to some men in mission.

In a secluded area of nowhere stood an older bronze looking mansion. The building was surrounded and covered with lots of tall trees blending it with the jungles, making it hard to spot. Approaching the mansion was Hue Chi's men. Although there are a few, a handful he organized himself for secret missions like this, they are men expert in this field. Hue Chi founded these men in secret to hunt down this secret organization that has subtly targeted the Royal Family.

The men approached closer and surrounded the mansion, hiding behind trees and bushes while four men barged into the mansion. The leader of the squad kicked the door open and waited for reactions inside the mansion. The other three were in defense mode, ready for combat, but there were no movements from inside. The leader walked in and looked around to what seems like an old abandoned and empty place. The men searched inside the mansion and to their disappointment, it was devoid of life. Could they have gotten the wrong information? According to what Xolai reported, he found evidence of unknown men going into the mansion, although since then, no one has come back out.

After searching every inch and corners of the house, they found no one and there was no secret pa.s.sage anywhere. The men walked out with no evidence. They found no traces of human occupying the mansion, and they had to start from square one again.

They relayed an update to Hue Chi. His facial expression did not change but remained stoic for a moment before ordering the driver to drive farther south east towards the ocean coast.

It appalled Yu Sha at how far they were from the city after hearing Hue Chi's instructions. The city was more north, but closer to the center and west of country. Southeast was in the opposite directions of the construction site. Aires was the biggest country, followed by Cleotara. Although when she thinks about it, they were airlifted, then switched plane and drove some more. They literally spent more than half of their time in the air and commuting.

The driver complied and drove the militant vehicle in the direction Hue Chi instructed.

Almost an hour later, Hue Chi instructed the driver to stop the vehicle. He got out of the vehicle and asked, "Let's go for a walk." At this point, the sun was starting to go down, spreading prism colors across the sky.

Yu Sha was confused but complied and hastily followed behind Hue Chi. After they put some distance, she asked, "Can't you just tell me what's going on? I'm not a mind reader."

"We're going for a walk." He replied nonchatantly.

"That's it? But why this late?" She was even more confused at his odd behavior pattern, but she does smell fresh sea in the airs to what she a.s.sumed they are getting closer to the sea. Maybe they really are just going for a walk.

The couple continues to walk for another 2 miles before they arrived upon a small house on the hillside before the ocean. The area was quiet, serene and beautiful.

By this time, the sun was setting making the path darker by the minute. On the side of the house was an open outside shower, the couple could hear the water running as they approached the little house. Hue Chi a.s.sumed there must be a person was.h.i.+ng something or showering so he walked around the corner to peak at the side house. Yu Sha also followed right behind to inspect the water running only to have her eyes covered by a big hand, but she got a quick second glimpse of a man in his sling underwear showering the residual sand off.

Irritated at Hue Chi who suddenly covered up her eyes, she tried to peel his hands away.

Seeing her resist his hand, he spoke, "Children shouldn't look."

"Tsk, I'm no children."

Their conversation alerted the man in the shower. He turned his attention at them, "Oh, how can I help you?"

Hue Chi s.h.i.+elded Yu Sha with his tall and broad body so she couldn't see the naked man showering. "Our car stopped working a few miles down the road. We've called for help services but the day was late they are not able to come until tomorrow. We hiked the area to see if there is a place, we could spend the night at."

Yu Sha stood frozen confused why he lied so smoothly, does this have anything to do with the issue at hand today? Their car didn't die, he simply led them here today.

The man showering looked at the couple and knew that there are no other places nearby. Seeing that it is dark, he has no choice but to offer his home for these two strangers. "There are no other places nearby, if you want, you two are welcome to stay here for the night. There is only one room available, so you two may need to share a bed."
