"Oh? What's this? Disappearing people here too?" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

It wasn't hard for Lin Mu to hear the waiter talk due to his enhanced hearing.

"Is there a problem?" Wu Hei instantly asked.

He knew that if Lin Mu was contacting him, in the middle of his travels, there was bound to be something wrong.

"I overheard the people in the restaurant talk about it. Besides, I took a look over the town. The number of people is really less than there should be." Lin Mu explained.

"Did they ask for the guards to investigate?" Wu Hei questioned.
