Lin Congyun gently patted the heads of the children around him, signaling them to be quiet, then stood up and walked towards the door.

"Excuse me, who's outside?" There was a hint of caution in her voice.

"Official police, open the door!" A rough voice came from outside the door, accompanied by heavy knocks, sounding quite impatient.

Lin Congyun took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

I saw several officers in official uniforms standing outside the door, with serious faces and scrutinizing gleams in their eyes.

"Who are you..." Lin Congyun just opened his mouth to ask, but was interrupted by one of the officers.

"We are government officials, and we are here to search under orders!" The official's voice was loud and clear, leaving no room for doubt.

Lin Congyun remained expressionless. She asked in a deep voice, "Search? Didn't they search the city gate just now?"

"There are rules at the city gate. We are following orders from our superiors to search all of you staying at the inn. Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!" The officer obviously didn't have the patience to talk any more with Lin Congyun. He pushed her away and broke into the house with several other officers.

Lin Congyun was pushed and staggered, almost falling down, but she did not show any dissatisfaction or anger. She just pulled the children to her side and told them not to be afraid.

The officers searched the house thoroughly, searching every corner.

"Hmph, there's nothing suspicious." The leading officer was obviously a little impatient. He glared at Lin Congyun, then his eyes fell on the three children, and then he strode out of the house with the other officers.

Lin Congyun looked at the officers' departing backs, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

As sensitive agents, why did the officers at the city gate and this officer keep their eyes on the three children?

Moreover, it was not right to say that the look was just a casual glance. It felt very strange.

She took a breath, calmed herself down, turned to the children and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

However, her words failed to completely calm the children, who clung to her side, their eyes filled with fear.

After a while, Wu Jinjie and others came back.

Sisters-in-law Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu also went shopping. When they returned to the room, they saw Lin Congyun's serious expression and the children's frightened looks.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Zeng Xiaoyu's heart tightened when she saw this and she asked quickly.

"Just now, some police officers came to search, and their eyes kept lingering on the children."

After hearing this, several people frowned.

"Mom, what do you think their intentions are?" Zhang Liucui also asked.

Lin Congyun shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either, but we must be careful."

Zeng Xiaoyu and Zhang Liucui looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Then, Lin Congyun looked at Wu Jinjie and asked, "Butler, have you heard any news?"

Wu Jinjie's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I have heard some news. It is said that there are quite a lot of missing children in Yong'an County."

"Missing children?" Lin Congyun's heart trembled. Thinking of the strange looks of the officers, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Yes, ancestor." Wu Jinjie nodded and continued, "There have indeed been many cases of missing children in Yong'an County recently. The government is also doing its best to investigate, but there is still no clue."

Lin Congyun was silent for a moment, "We must be more vigilant and not let the children out of our sight."

"Yes, ancestor." Wu Jinjie responded with a solemn look on his face.

Originally they planned to stay in Yong'an County for a few days, but given the situation, for safety reasons, Lin Congyun decided to take everyone away from Yong'an County as soon as possible.

"We will leave early tomorrow morning. We wanted to leave now, but it's already past noon. If we leave the city, there will be no village or shop nearby. We might as well rest here for a night."

"Mom, we'll listen to you." Zeng Xiaoyu and Zhang Liucui responded in unison.

Lin Congyun nodded, indicating that they don't need to worry too much.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but Lin Congyun couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She lay in bed, thinking over and over again about the strange looks from the officers and the case of the missing children in Yong'an County.

As an agent, her intuition told her that there must be some connection between the two things.

What was special was the look in the eyes of the two officers. It was a kind of searching, a kind of scrutiny, and even a kind of greed.

Just then, a slight noise came into Lin Congyun's ears.

She immediately sat up alertly and glanced out the window with a sharp gaze.

I saw a black shadow flash in the moonlight and disappear into the darkness in the distance.

Lin Congyun's heart trembled. She knew that this was definitely not an ordinary sound.

She put on her clothes, gently opened the door and walked out of the room.

The courtyard of the inn was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of wind.

Lin Congyun walked forward quietly, her eyes always fixed on the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

She crossed the yard and came to the back door of the inn.

I saw the back door was slightly open, and a small path extended to the mountains and forests in the distance.

Lin Congyun originally wanted to follow, but she hesitated slightly, her heart full of doubts and vigilance.

After all, following them rashly might put you in danger.

Just as she was hesitating, another slight noise was heard, this time clearer.

She immediately looked back vigilantly, only to see a figure quietly slipping away from the other side of the inn.

Lin Congyun hurriedly followed, and unexpectedly found the mysterious figure in another corner of the inn.

She approached cautiously, fearing to alert the enemy.

In the moonlight, the figure stopped beside a pile of firewood and seemed to be waiting for something.

Lin Congyun's heart moved, and he approached quietly, hid behind a big tree, and observed secretly.

After a while, the dark shadow from before also came over.

She waited quietly, wanting to know what they were plotting.

Suddenly, the black shadow seemed to notice something and turned back to look in the direction where Lin Congyun was hiding.

Lin Congyun was shocked and immediately held his breath and flashed into the space.

Fortunately, the black shadow entered in time. It came behind the big tree, did not find anything unusual, and turned away.

Just when Lin Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, the black shadow came back again.

Lin Congyun, who was in the space, happened to hear the conversation between the two.

"Why are you so suspicious?"

"I'd better be cautious. What if someone really follows me?"

"Humph, the people in the inn must be fast asleep by now, how could anyone follow us?"

"It's better to be cautious. We must not fail in this mission."

The sound of their conversation gradually faded away, and Lin Congyun came out of the space.
