"Something's wrong. Apart from the ridiculous price, I don't see anything else wrong."

"The price is the most inappropriate thing. Think about it, isn't the watermelon vendor selling watermelons to make money? But if they sell watermelons at 2 spirit stones per pound, can they really make any money?"

"Besides that, I also found something else wrong. His watermelons were not right. I found some different watermelons in the pile of watermelons behind him. These different watermelons all had a tiny hole in them."

After hearing this, Lin Fan, who originally didn't think anything was wrong, now realized the problem, so he discussed it with Hong Huang and planned to investigate the melon stall.

If one wanted to investigate the melon stall owner, they naturally needed a breakthrough, and Hong Huang already had an idea for this breakthrough. According to other melon stall owners, there was a person who would come to the melon stall to pick up melons at almost the same time every day. It just so happened that this time was approaching, so after Hong Huang told Lin Fan the news, they decided to wait together for the customer to arrive.

Since they had spoken to the melon stall owner before, waiting by the stall might arouse suspicion, so they decided to wait and hide in a secluded place where the stall owner could not notice them but they could still see him.

Just as Hong Huang said, a customer wearing purple clothes, a hat and a mask came to the melon stall soon. Hong Huang quickly told the news to Lin Fan, who was a little sleepy from waiting, and pointed at the man in purple.

Lin Fan looked in the direction of Hong Huang's finger, and indeed as Hong Huang said, there was a man standing next to the melon stall. At this moment, the stall owner changed his previous lazy attitude and actually started chatting with the man in purple.

"It's your turn now. Listen to their conversation without being noticed. As for their little tricks, leave them to me."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement, and with the help of the power of his wind spirit root, he could clearly hear the conversation between the stall owner and the man in purple even though he was keeping a certain distance from the stall.

At the same time, every time they spoke to each other, Lin Fan would repeat it on the spot. At this moment, Hong Huang and Lin Fan were like the clairvoyant and the super-earful, cooperating very well.

"How long can we keep doing this? I'm suspicious myself, not to mention others. I come here every day at the same time to get the melons. Doesn't this really arouse suspicion?"

Facing the purple-robed man's complaint, the melon stall owner shook his head and spread his hands, replying, "There's nothing I can do. This is all arranged by the higher-ups. I'm just following their instructions. But don't worry. After all, if we fail, the blame won't fall on us little guys."

"Well, okay, I'll just send these melons to the old place. I don't know how long this will last."

After the man in purple finished speaking, he signaled to the melon stall owner that he was leaving.

After listening to the conversation between the man in purple and the melon stall owner, Hong Huang and Lin Fan knew their next goal, which was to follow the man in purple to the old place.

"Lin Fan, you follow me first. I think this melon stall has other secrets, so I need to stay and investigate for a while. But don't worry, I'll be there soon, so remember to mark the way."

"Okay, I'll leave some clipping numbers to help guide you."

After making the decision, Lin Fan followed the man in purple and left, while Hong Huang stayed to investigate the suspicious melon stall owner.

He dressed himself up in a corner and swallowed a pill that could temporarily change his voice. Then he took out a few watermelons from his storage bag and put them in a bag. After everything was ready, Hong Huang walked towards the watermelon stall carrying the bag full of watermelons.

When approaching the melon stall, Hong Huang squatted down at an opportune moment and broke the bag in his hand, causing the watermelons in the bag to roll to the ground. Since the bag was placed on the ground when Hong Huang squatted down, the watermelons that rolled out of the bag did not receive any damage.

With the "help" of Hong Huang, these "escaped" watermelons successfully rolled to the place where the watermelons were placed next to the watermelon stall. While "helping" the watermelons, Hong Huang did not forget to check on the stall owner's movements. When he saw that the stall owner did not make any other movements, he began his second step.

"Oh, my melons have fallen to the ground. What if they break? I'm hoping to awaken my watermelon bloodline through these watermelons. I have to check on them and see if they're okay."

While Hong Huang was speaking, his hands were already collecting the melons that belonged to him on the ground. When he came to the place where the watermelons were placed next to the melon stall, he simply switched his own watermelons with those of the melon stall, and he chose the watermelons with small holes. After doing all this, Hong Huang did not leave in a hurry, but stroked the watermelons he had just collected on the spot. Finally, he took a bag from another melon stall and left with the watermelons.

As for the suspicious melon stall owner, he didn't suspect anything about what Hong Huang had just done and was still doing his own thing with his head down.

Now let's go back to the time when Lin Fan and Hong Huang just separated. After all, Lin Fan had been followed so many times outside, so this time he naturally followed the man in purple all the way to the old place without the man in purple noticing. At the same time, he did not forget to leave marks on the road to remind Hong Huang.

The man in purple was quite cautious when he first took the melon, which made Lin Fan feel a little competitive. But then he became more and more relaxed, and even hummed a song during the last part of the journey. Because of this, it took Lin Fan half an hour to follow the man in purple to the old place.

The old place was not the very hidden cave that Lin Fan had imagined, nor was it the remains of some mechanical mechanism. It was just an ordinary yet strange abandoned well. The well was not big, just like a normal well for mortals.

The man in purple suddenly became cautious again when he arrived at the old place. After looking around several times, he threw the watermelon he took from the melon stall into the abandoned well. After throwing the watermelon, the man in purple did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the well and nodded and left after seeing the scene he wanted to see.

Lin Fan saw all of this, but he did not go up to interrupt the man in purple, because he knew the principle of playing the long game to catch the big fish, and also because he thought that this matter needed to be discussed with Hong Huang.
