Chapter 20 The Stalker
According to the standards of the earth, the security situation in Haiya City is not good. Although the Haiya Cultivators took the initiative to maintain the basic order of the city, they did this just to cultivate merits and did not really intend to serve the people wholeheartedly.
For cultivators who are precious to time, cultivating merit often takes up valuable time for retreat and practice.
Therefore, when cultivators perform merits, they often have cost-effective considerations - that is, how to pay the lowest time cost and achieve the best merit effect of merit.
For example, the Lingshi Reserve Bank is in charge of the financial lifeline of Jiuzhou. As long as you pass a certain monetary policy resolution, it will affect the people's livelihood and welfare of hundreds of millions of people. This is obviously the most efficient way for cultivators to accumulate merits. Key positions such as members of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Lingshi Reserve Bank will be actively strive for even the Nascent Soul cultivator.
The merits of cleaning the snow on the road are very meager, and they can be defeated by convenient and fast public services. Only the Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Centre will not waste time and energy on this kind of work.
As for arresting thieves and street fights, such merits and troublesome things, there are no cultivators who are willing to do it. They just hire a few mortal clerks to manage them casually.
This light and light law enforcement force can be imagined.
Therefore, although Haiya City has a cultivator in charge of Haiya Sect, there will be no big trouble, but small-scale mortal crimes are endless. The poor essay gunman who was broken and almost died on the street is the best example.
Even if mortals commit crimes like this, no one will care about cultivators commit crimes. Even if mortals are killed by cultivators in public, Haiya City Lord's Mansion will not come forward to deal with them.
Anyway, when a cultivator kills people, the murderer's own merits of the heavenly way is deducted, and it has no direct relationship with the Lord of Haiya City.
As long as the murderer is not too much, it will cause a large-scale panic in the mortal society. In view of everyone being a cultivator, the Lord of Haiya City turned a blind eye and closed his eyes.
Although he is also a mortal who has a cultivator as a backstage, Chen Ping is not his nanny and cannot follow him at any time to protect himself. In addition, he just offended the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce yesterday. If he was beaten by criminals, he would have no place to reason!
It is precisely because of his clear understanding of this that Yang Lu has always paid great attention to his own personal safety.
Although he is not an expert in the anti-tracking field, Haiyacheng obviously does not have any expert in the tracking field.
When the traffic flow was not too high after the heavy snow in Haiyacheng Street, there were always strangers behind him, which made him suspicious.
A normal stalker will never wear a black suit and big sunglasses like the ones performed in the movie, for fear that others will not know that he is an illegal person. As long as he is not the hopelessly stupid stalker, he knows that he should dress as ordinary as possible, try not to look directly at the other person, and try to cover his gaze in a more low-key way than sunglasses. After feeling that someone suspected of following him, Yang Lu's spirit immediately became tense.
Considering that he was leading Murong on the way, it was obviously inappropriate to suddenly look back at the passing pedestrians.
Since the other party chooses to follow up instead of taking action directly, it means that the situation has not escalated to that level. If the other party takes extreme measures on the spot due to his own act of alarming the enemy, it will backfire.
After casually scanning both sides of the road, Yang Lu turned his attention to a bun shop that had just opened its doors.
He decided to do some secret tests first!
"Murong, I'll buy you a bun."
Murong didn't understand Yang Lu's true intentions and said blankly: "Mr. Yang, I ate a lot last night and I was not hungry at all!"
Yang Lu just smiled and touched her head: "You are still growing, so it's not OK to not eat breakfast!"
Before Murong could answer, he walked to the bun shop on his own and naturally turned his body to the side: "Boss, how do you sell buns?"
While asking, he quickly noticed with his light that two passers-by not far behind him also stopped.
Seeing the strange reactions of these two people, Yang Lu was already seriously suspicious that they were here to follow him!
However, these two stalkers are obviously not very professional, and they will follow him in unison instead of alternately following them for cover. This professional level is even better than the amateur counter-stalker.
In order to confirm, Yang Lu deliberately worked at the bun shop for a long time.
He first took out a huge banknote of 10 yuan spirit stone coins, deliberately making the self-employed bun shop owner unable to find the change, and intentionally used a very high voice to complain that the boss could not even find the 10 yuan spirit stone coins.
Then he pretended to take out the pocket for a long time, but he couldn't take out any change. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Murong to pay for him first.
Murong witnessed Yang Lu’s payment process at Haiya Pavilion yesterday and knew that he had change. Although he couldn’t understand why Mr. Yang suddenly fell in love with his hard-earned money from selling newspapers, she still handed the only few tickets in her pocket to the owner of the bun shop pitifully.
Seeing that Yang Lu was obviously very rich, but he still wanted the girl newspaper boy beside him to pay the bill, the boss of the bun shop looked at him incorrectly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he gave up the idea of meddling in other people's business.
Murong wanted to defend Mr. Yang for a few words, but he didn't know where to start, and his little face turned red.
Yang Lu did not notice the silent communication between Murong and the owner of the bun shop. He found that he had been delaying for a long time, and the two passers-by behind him had no position to move, and he had already confirmed that he had been followed.
However, the other party never intended to take action, probably because he did not understand his background.
The guests of Haiya Pavilion are either rich or noble. Since these two people have been following since they left Haiya Pavilion, it is normal for them to have concerns about their identities.
In this way, the trip to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce becomes even more important. Only by obtaining the endorsement of the important commercial forces in Haiyacheng, Qingning Chamber of Commerce, can these sluts be truly shocked.
Seeing Murong holding the buns he had bought with his hard-earned money, Yang Lu seemed to be reluctant to leave his mouth. He took out a few change and stuffed them into her pocket, and then said softly: "Let's hurry up and go to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce and try to walk the road with a large number of people. You often sell newspapers in the city, so you must know where the most people are!"
Although she didn't know what Yang Lu wanted to do, the newspaper girl nodded confidently and said, "If you want to ask where there are more people, no one in Haiya City knows better than me!"
After following Murong through the crowd for about ten minutes, the newspaper girl stopped on her own initiative: "Mr. Yang, this is the headquarters of Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"
Looking in the direction of Murong's finger, a grand classical courtyard appeared in front of Yang Lu.
There is an open space in front of the gate of the house, with two statues of strange monsters placed. The newly painted gate lintel is written with four big words "Qingning Chamber of Commerce". It seems that it has just been renovated. Although it has been three o'clock on the sun, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce seems quite deserted, and occasionally someone enters and exits through the gate.
