The Pursuit!

When I came to eat today, I happened to see a large vat at the entrance of the restaurant, and as soon as I walked in, I could smell the aroma of wine.

The shop owner said he had just bought this wine Suika from the distillery, and upon hearing it, I thought, "This is perfect!"

She then waved her hand dismissively, indicating that the wine shouldn't be brought in yet; she could leave it there and pay for whatever she drank later.

At the time, Lin Yuhsia and the boss didn't pay any attention.

But now... Lin Yuhsia is starting to regret saying she was treating everyone.

The two arrived at the park one after the other, strolling leisurely along the narrow path.

"Come to think of it, this is probably our first day meeting... How did Suika recognize me?"

Lin Yuhsia glanced sideways at Suika, who was hiccuping from drinking and taking out a gourd to calm herself down, and had the feeling that this girl was beyond saving.

"Oh, I just happened to hear that... Speaking of which, is Miss Lin preparing to take over from the Rat King?"

How can you tell Suika that she's a character in a music-themed anime game?

However, if I kept letting the other party ask, it would inevitably arouse suspicion due to my evasiveness, so I decisively chose to confront them head-on.

"The old man is still perfectly healthy, what would I do if I took over?"

Lin Yuhsia remained calm and showed no surprise that Suika knew about her family situation.

"That's not how it works. Haven't you heard that there's never been a crown prince who reigns for sixty years?"

And you can't just wait until he's no longer capable before you take over.

Although the position of the Lungmen Gate underworld leader is not as important as that of Hundred Stoves.

However, it is still of great importance to Lungmen.

Besides, your old man really does look old...

Don't look at me like that. Look at yourself. Wei Yenwu and him should be of the same generation, right?

What are other people like, and what is the Rat King like?

Hearing Suika's words, Lin Yuhsia couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking of her father's appearance; he did indeed look much older.

"The position of Rat King is also very important. If it were handed over to someone else, Governor Wei Yenwu... cough cough, he wouldn't feel at ease."

As for you, you know the truth and are a descendant of the Rat King. If you succeed him, the Rat King can enjoy his old age in peace, and if any trouble arises, he can help you solve it while he's still alive.

Furthermore, who do you think will succeed Wei Yenwu as the head of Lungmen?

After listening to Suika's words, Lin Yuhsia pondered for a moment.

Although her words were somewhat disrespectful, they were also quite pertinent.

Lungmen is a city that the older generation built with all their heart and soul.

Even if Wei Yenwu were to retire, the successor he chose would definitely be his bloodline.

However, he currently has no descendants, so the most likely successor to Wei Yenwu as Governor of Lungmen is Chen Hui-chieh.

That guy himself knew it; he was as stubborn as reinforced concrete.

The thought of her taking people to Lungmen made Lin Yuhsia feel for a moment that Lungmen's future seemed bleak.

It's not that Chen lacks ability, but rather that she's too straightforward and dislikes the intrigue and backstabbing in politics.

Compared to Wei Yenwu, who was adept at handling affairs and meticulous in every step, her political acumen was woefully inadequate.

But Suika's point is not without merit.

There's no way that only he can succeed to the position of Rat King.

Governor Wei wouldn't feel comfortable with anyone else, and neither would my father's old subordinates.

Since I'll inevitably end up in that position sooner or later, I might as well take the initiative and shoulder the responsibility myself so my father won't have to worry so much.

As she was thinking, Lin Yuhsia patted her face and then looked at Suika warily.

This guy is no good. He clearly wanted more time to do his own thing, but she somehow managed to ignite his ambition.

Thank goodness this place is called Lungmen instead of Black Tortoise...

After clearing her mind of all the jumbled thoughts, Lin Yuhsia continued strolling around the park with Suika.

6 p. m.

Lungmen Port

Suika and Lin Yuhsia stood atop a tall building, looking down at the flow of people coming and going below.

"Are you sure they'll come this way?" Suika looked at Lin Yuhsia, since Lungmen's ports of entry and exit are in all four directions, and the two of them were currently facing north.

Chapter 385 The Pursuit!

Lin Yuhsia wasn't worried at all; she leaned against the railing and looked down.

"Don't worry, they'll definitely go this way, and they'll only go this way..."

"Was it Wei Yenwu's doing, or was it your father's doing?"

Suika glanced sideways at the slender rat woman beside her.

Lin Yuhsia squinted as she counted the cars below.

"I don't know, maybe both."

"Speaking of which, Governor Wei is, after all, an elder. Your constant address of 'Wei Yenwu' makes me feel like I've been demoted by a generation for no reason."

"Then, my dear niece?" Suika said, indicating that she could joke around a bit.

Lin Yuhsia rolled her eyes.

"Dad said you're very strong. Could you tell me just how strong you are? I need to make plans accordingly."

"How many people are involved?" Suika asked instead of answering.

"You, I... I'm gone," Lin Yuhsia said, finding it unbelievable.

After all, escaping from the clutches of the Dragon and Rat of the Lungmen was no easy feat.

As a result, Governor Wei assigned this task to himself and Suika, who was standing in front of him, and the key point was that his father agreed.

"That's settled then. You take care of leading the way and identifying the target, and leave the rest to me."

Suika remained calm, knowing that Wei Yenwu was well aware of her combat abilities, which was why he felt comfortable entrusting Lin Yuhsia to her.

"By the way, Father said on the way here that the target needs to be dealt with outside the city, preferably without being discovered."

After listening, Suika had no objections, but instead looked up at the sky.

The weather today isn't very good, to be precise, it's rather bad. Although there's no rain, the clouds almost completely cover the sky. It's only around four in the afternoon, but it looks almost like six or seven.

"On a dark and windy night, murder and arson are most likely to occur."

"I've done the math, and today's the perfect day to send someone to meet the King of Hell."

Suika stretched her hand out of the building. A gust of wind blew by, and she thought to herself, "Good heavens, it's a westerly wind. Isn't this a sign that someone is about to be sent to the Western Paradise?"

"Your finger techniques are terrible, completely wrong," Lin Yuhsia couldn't help but say after watching Suika's movements.

'Gah, you can?'

"Yes... I learned some basic Lesser Six Ren from the people at the Celestial Master's Residence," Lin Yuhsia said with a smile, extending her slender fingers.

"Oh, sister, why are you learning this stuff?" Suika exclaimed in a Victoria accent, startled by the other person's question.

"I was bored, and I happened to run into a Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Residence's Mansion. We were chatting and the topic came up, so I learned it from him."

"This isn't difficult; I basically learned it before that person left."

Lin Yuhsia was now displaying the overwhelming academic prowess of a top student in front of Suika.

Suika then realized that the woman in front of her was not some naive girl fresh out of school; she had a whole host of titles, one of which was a visiting lecturer at Lungmen United University.

He can be described as a true genius with both high IQ and EQ.

Just as the two were chatting, Lin Yuhsia's phone rang.

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she looked down and pointed to one of the cars queuing up, saying...

"The target has arrived; it's that small truck that went out to haul away Perchscale."

"Um, if I remember correctly, these kinds of vehicles can't go very far! Aren't they afraid of breaking down and dying in the wilderness if they use these things to travel?"

And the trucks that Perchscale... ugh, I can only imagine how smelly they are inside."

Suika grinned as she looked at the vehicles below.

"So this is the best and safest car to get out of the city."

After all, under normal circumstances, no one would expect that someone trying to escape would not choose an off-road vehicle, which is more suitable for long-distance travel, but instead choose a small car with no protection, which can only be used to transport goods around the city.

In addition, the fishy smell of Perchscale can mask human odors, making it impossible for the Tracking Beast to detect the situation inside the car.

"If they hadn't been kept under close watch, they might have actually managed to escape."

Despite being rivals, Lin Yuhsia still greatly admired her opponent's decision.

"Aren't you leaving?" Suika noticed that although the target was right in front of her, Lin Yuhsia remained calm and unhurried.

"Have you looked down there?" Lin Yuhsia pointed to the road below.

"Huh?" Suika didn't react.

"At this rate, it will take at least another half hour for the car to leave."

"We don't have to queue because we use the special passage, so what are we going down now, to get some fresh air outside the city?"

Lin Yuhsia looked somewhat helpless.

"Oh, I forgot about that."

After Lin Yuhsia finished speaking, Suika realized that it was indeed true.

If we can deal with the target on the spot after it's discovered, then going down now is fine.

But Wei Yenwu's intention was to eliminate these people quietly outside the city, so going down now would be too early.

Besides, standing there waiting for the other party to come out would be too conspicuous, so it's better to stay here a little longer.

Thinking of this, Suika took out the Ibuki Gourd and took a big gulp.

Lately, I don't know if it's because I've been using my brain more or using my muscles too much, but I feel like my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be.

In the past, Lin Yuhsia wouldn't have needed to remind her to figure out these things.

Seeing Suika suddenly squatting there, sipping her wine half-heartedly, and exuding a dejected aura, Lin Yuhsia rubbed her temples.

Didn't Dad and Wei Yenwu say that Suika is a very reliable person...?

How can something like that be considered reliable?

Half an hour passed quickly.

Suika also emerged from her self-pity about becoming mentally challenged.

When Suika came down and looked at the three-wheeled vehicle in front of her, her eyes widened.

"Shall we sit here?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Yuhsia sat in the driver's seat and patted the seat next to her. "Get in the car quickly, it'll be harder to catch them once they've gotten far away."

Suika plopped down on it and muttered...

"Sitting in this thing, I always feel like a Japanese soldier..."

"Let's go!" With a roar, the three-wheeled vehicle followed the road to a pre-prepared passage and quickly drove away from Lungmen.

After leaving the city, the two quickly found the scale-carrying cart.

Fortunately, as a commercial city, Lungmen sees a considerable number of vehicles coming and going every day.

Even though the three-wheeled motorcycles look very conspicuous, they are not noticeable in the crowd of vehicles.

However, the vehicle carrying scales soon turned and headed into the deep mountains.

"What should we do? Should we follow along?"

Lin Yuhsia looked at the car turning onto the side road and hesitated.
