The journey was not long, and there was no traffic jam. They arrived in twenty minutes.
But before getting out of the car, Lin Yi looked at the rearview mirror and didn’t find anything strange. Fie got out of the car and walked into the mall.
At this moment, Lin Yi did not expect that Jeffrey had not left at all and instead had sent people to follow him in secret.
The reason we didn’t notice is because the other party adopted a very discreet method of tracking in stages.
After following him for a distance, they would change trackers. This cycle was repeated continuously.
Just like back in Sunrise Land, when the Mitsui family servant followed Eliza, there had been no way to detect her.
In addition, the road was very tight, and there were many cars on the road. It was normal for Lin Yi to not notice anything unusual.
Following the address Ji Qingyan had given him, Lin Yi went up to the sixth floor. The two of them were already waiting at the staircase.
Lin Yi realized that the dress Ji Qingyan was wearing was different from the one she had worn this morning.
She had changed into a black and gold short skirt, and it was a little tight. Fler good figure was clear.
This dress was the one he had seen at Hermes the day before. However, she had hesitated for a long time and did not dare to buy it.
Today, under Qin Yingyue’s instigation, she bought it.
Anyway, Ji Qingyan had someone backing her up, so she wasn’t afraid.
“Look at my new dress. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Ji Qingyan spun around in delight. She loved it so much.
“I think if you stay in Doora for a while longer, you’ll probably start wearing bikinis.”
“I wouldn’t go that far.” Ji Qingyan chuckled. “Actually, the length isn’t too bad. It’s not as short as I imagined. It’s almost knee-length.”
“I also think that it’s not bad. He’s so young, but why is his thinking more conservative than mine?” Qin Yingyue complained.
“I didn’t say anything. It’s really pretty.”
“Since you think it’s pretty too, there’s nothing left to say.” Ji Qingyan happily hooked her arm around Lin Yi’s. “Let’s go eat. I’m starving from shopping all afternoon.”
“Let’s go.”
The three of them arrived at the restaurant that they had reserved in advance. It was a barbeque restaurant. In terms of decoration, it followed a Turkish style and looked very unique.
“Originally, 1 wanted to bring you guys to the auction tonight, but it was suddenly announced that it was postponed,” Qin Yingyue said.
“But there happens to be an opera called The Barber of Seville. Want to go?”
The auction was postponed?
Lin Yi paused. This news was very interesting.
Jeffrey was already missing and wouldn’t be putting anything up for auction.
However, the auction at Fuseby was not canceled entirely. Instead, it was postponed.
It was very likely that the two sides had reached some kind of agreement in the dark. There would be cooperation in the future, but not now.
However, he still had to ask Schubert about the details when he had time.
“This opera, I know it. It’s composed by Rossini, and they say it’s quite famous,” said Ji Qingyan.
“Yeah, yeah, that’s his composition,” Qin Yingyue said. “Shall we go see it tonight?”
“Alright, 1 have nothing to do anyway.” Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi. “Are you going?”
“I won’t go. The operas are quite noisy. 1 can’t sleep well in them.”
Lin Yi refused to watch the opera not because he had anything to do, but because he would be bored.
If he had the time, he might as well find a place to experience the specialty of Doora.
Ji Qingyan covered her mouth and laughed. “1 knew you would say that. I’ll go with Auntie tonight. You can entertain yourself.”
There were a total of six cars parked downstairs in Dooramall. All of them were large seven-seater SUVs.
At the forefront was a modified Land Cruiser, which was extremely popular in the Middle East region.
“Are you sure he’s upstairs?”
In the back of the car, cigar smoke curled around Jeffrey’s grim face.
“Yes, our people are watching from above,” the man in black said.
“Two other women were dining with him. Judging by their relationship, I’d say they are his girlfriend and mother.”
“Girlfriend and mother…”
Jeffrey muttered, “So he’s here with his family. He’s got some nerve.”
“The situation above is very beneficial to us.” The black-clothed subordinate said.
“I heard from the higher-ups that his girlfriend and mother are both beautiful. We can capture them and use some tricks on them. This way, he will tell us everything he knows.”
“Women are the most unreliable, no matter when, you always have to be cautious of women. Sometimes, they can be more terrifying than venomous snakes.”
“Understood, Boss!”
“Tell the higher-ups to think of a way to clear out the people in the restaurant to avoid making too much commotion.”
“I’ll go inform them now!”
Time ticked by, and the three of them reached the end of their dinner.
Because they had agreed to go to the opera and didn’t drink, they naturally ate faster.
“What’s going on? Are these people going to watch opera too? Why are they leaving one after another?”
Just as Ji Qingyan was wiping the corners of her mouth, she saw that everyone in the restaurant had already paid the bill and left.
She subconsciously looked at her watch and realized that there was still an hour before the opera started.
It felt a little strange. The place was not far away, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
“It’s possible,” Qin Yingyue said.
“After all, this is the first time this opera is being performed in Doora. Many people might want to check it out.”
Based on this, the three of them did not take it seriously. They were almost done eating, so it was time to pay the bill and leave.
But soon, the three of them realized that something was wrong.
Because everyone in the restaurant had left in less than ten minutes, only their table was left seated.
Even if some people wanted to cultivate some refinement by going to see an opera, it wouldn’t be to the extent that everyone in the restaurant would leave. That was just too odd.
Lin Yi stood up and stood in front of the two of them, urging them to pack up.
There must be something wrong with this situation. Something so strange must not be a good thing.
Qin Yingyue was not too unbothered. After so many years, she had seen many storms and waves. Thus, her emotions remained calm.
Ji Qingyan, on the other hand, was slightly flustered. She put away her belongings and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Lin Yi heard messy footsteps outside the restaurant.
Then, more than 20 people rushed into the restaurant.
“Mr. Lin, we meet again.”
Lin Yi was surprised to see Jeffrey take off his mask.
From what he knew, Jeffrey should have escaped from Doora!
Yet, he had actually appeared here openly!
Clap, clap, clap…
Lin Yi clapped. “You old thing, you’re quite impressive to be able to find this place.”
“Are you suggesting that it’s okay for you to track me, but 1 can’t do some counter-tracking?” Jeffrey looked at Lin Yi and said.
“You’re smart and quite good, but you’re not as good as me..”
