In reality, Ye Qiu wasn't one hundred percent certain either.
The person who just passed by the entrance of the tea restaurant was a member of Purgatory.
Only with a confirming attitude, Ye Qiu chased out from the tea restaurant.
However, the large man was already walking away gradually.
Ye Qiu chased for a while before finding his trace again.
It was clear that this suspected Purgatory member was in a hurry, as if he was going to meet someone or head somewhere quickly.
"Purgatory members acting openly on the streets, could it be that Blood Cross is planning something again?"
Ye Qiu followed from a distance, not eager to confront this suspected Purgatory member prematurely.
Though these Purgatory members have blood on their hands, the real culprit is Blood Cross.
It's only the schemes of Blood Cross that are the root of the evil.
To strike against Blood Cross, it's not about killing one or two from their organization, but destroying their plots, that's a true strike.
The suspicious Purgatory member ahead was in a rush, his pace fast, so Ye Qiu also quickened his steps, fearing he would lose him.
Even though Ye Qiu was closely following, his clever tracking skills made the vigilant Purgatory member oblivious.
After walking some distance, they left the bustling area and ahead was a corner; upon reaching that corner, the cloaked man suddenly stopped.
Ye Qiu was just about to wonder why the man had stopped, when he saw another cloaked man emerge from the corner.
It was another Purgatory member!
Each Purgatory member was painstakingly trained by the heavens, possessing formidable combat power.
This time, they actually sent out two Purgatory members.
It seems Blood Cross really has big plans.
This made Ye Qiu even more curious, wanting to know what exactly they were up to. Where were they headed now?
With these questions in mind, Ye Qiu dared not slack and followed closely.
Soon, the two Purgatory members arrived beside an ancient mansion and stopped, signaling as though observing the happenings inside.
Ye Qiu looked up and saw the plaque above the gate marked with two characters:
Chen Mansion.
From the characters on the plaque, the owner of this ancient mansion should have the surname Chen, Ye Qiu guessed.
However, in a bustling place like Hong Kong, there stood such an archaic house, resembling a siheyuan in the Capital City.
It's unique, also representing that those living inside have extraordinary status.
But based on Ye Qiu's knowledge of Hong Kong, he still couldn't figure out who lived inside.
And why Blood Cross's Purgatory members came here?
While Ye Qiu was pondering, the two Purgatory members seemed to have finished observing and made another gesture, then both cloaked figures leaped into the mansion.
Ye Qiu quickly stepped up to the front of the mansion, seeing the tightly closed main gate, knowing this entrance was impenetrable.
Looking at the walls, three meters high, this height was certainly no challenge for Ye Qiu.
However, just as Ye Qiu was about to leap over the wall into the mansion, he suddenly heard a scream of someone getting hit from across the wall.
He couldn't tell if this scream was the mansion's owner being harmed by the Purgatory members, or if the Purgatory members were discovered and attacked by the mansion's owner.
"Ahhhhh!" Another terrifying scream rang out.
After two chilling cries, Ye Qiu did not act rashly; then he saw two people awkwardly leap over the wall from the other side.
It was indeed the Purgatory members who had just jumped in!!
Both Purgatory members were visibly injured to varying extents; as soon as they leapt out of the wall, they fled desperately, clearly no match for whoever was inside.
Ye Qiu was shocked; the owner of this mansion had discovered the stealthy Purgatory members in such a short time and struck ruthlessly, repelling them.
The people inside this mansion are not simple!!
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu no longer lingered at the gate and quickly slipped away from the entrance.
After distancing himself a bit from the gate, Ye Qiu again looked at this mansion, increasingly curious about who exactly resides here?
What purpose did the Purgatory members have in coming here?
It seemed only by entering the mansion could the accurate answer be obtained.
But Ye Qiu suppressed this rashness; his purpose this time was to investigate what the Purgatory members were up to. Now, he could be sure that the Purgatory members' target was the person inside this mansion, or something they wanted.
Having gotten this answer, Ye Qiu decided to temporarily halt further investigations.
First, because the people living in this mansion are not ordinary, though they repelled two Purgatory members in an instant, Ye Qiu could also do the same; the strength of those inside was perhaps not stronger than Ye Qiu.
But Ye Qiu didn't want to make enemies all over Hong Kong, so he planned to withdraw for now, at least wait for Li Hai to investigate who lives inside first.
Second, although the Purgatory members retreated this time, they would surely come again; by then, their purpose would become clearer, and Ye Qiu would completely understand Blood Cross's scheme.
So, there was no hurry at this moment.
With this in mind, Ye Qiu no longer lingered and slipped away in another direction.
Looking at the time, Ye Qiu realized he had been gone for about an hour, guessing Sha Beibei must have finished eating at the tea restaurant.
However, Ye Qiu hadn't finished his meal either, having only taken a few bites of the fried rice and noodles he ordered earlier, and after chasing for quite a distance, he was getting hungry again.
Hence, Ye Qiu headed straight back to the tea restaurant.
As soon as he stepped inside, Ye Qiu wanted to order food but, before he could speak, realized Sha Beibei was still there!!
"Hey, Ye Qiu! Where on earth did you run off to? I've been waiting for you forever!!" Sha Beibei complained.
"My gosh, Sha Beibei, you can really eat; you've been eating for nearly two hours."
Ye Qiu spent about an hour chasing the man, and the two had started eating when they initially entered the tea restaurant; most of what Sha Beibei ordered was ready-made, so they began eating almost immediately upon sitting down. By his calculations, she'd been eating for nearly two hours.
Ye Qiu thought Sha Beibei must have been a starving ghost in a previous life.
"You're terrible! I'm waiting for you; all this food is saved for you! Instead of being grateful, you complain about my eating! I'm so hurt!!"
Sha Beibei exclaimed in distress, having seen Ye Qiu only ate a few bites earlier. Thus, she waited, knowing Ye Qiu would likely return for food after chasing, waiting there until her patience wore thin. When Ye Qiu finally returned, he mocked her for eating so much.
Sha Beibei truly felt like hitting Ye Qiu with a brick.
Ye Qiu then noticed the dining table; though it was full of dishes, Sha Beibei hadn't touched her chopsticks. It appeared she had indeed saved the food for him.
Ye Qiu awkwardly smiled, "Looks like I misunderstood a good heart, my bad! Don't hold a grudge."
Sha Beibei tossed her head, "Hmph!!"
