Chapter 347

She turned to me and said, “When you see him later, do you intend to say hi?”

That was a strange question. “Why not?” I responded.

She shrugged. “Have you ever considered why they’re all in J City, but they lie to you about being in M Country?”

“Maybe they don’t want me to worry!”

“If that’s the case, what do you think their reaction would be when you appear out of the blue? I have an idea. Would you care to listen?”

I was taken aback by what she said. It felt like she had overestimated the seriousness of the matter. I wanted to ask for more information but she silenced me. “Look, there they are!”

I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw two men, both about six feet tall, pushing a stroller as they talked.
