Cave Refuge

Yara steered the car into the spacious parking lot, and it was only then that Dong Tianyu noticed that a variety of vehicles were parked here.

"Alright, you two, we’ve arrived. Follow me."

Hearing Yara’s call, Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun followed behind him.

They had not walked far from the parking lot when Yara led Dong Tianyu and Ye Liuyun into a room.

The layout of the room was not unlike the observation rooms adjoining interrogation chambers depicted in movies and dramas. One wall was fitted with a large one-way mirror that allowed them to see every move of everyone in the interrogation room. However, from the interrogation room, one could only see the reflection in the mirror.

At this moment, last time’s etiquette hostess they saw holding Pengcheng specialties, also known as Butterfly, was bound in a restraining chair, her face betraying a look of intense fear and trepidation.

Although Butterfly’s expression was quite vivid, under the scrutiny of Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense, her heartbeat was quite normal without a hint of nervous acceleration.

"I had someone watch her for two days and indeed found that she was overly intimate with a few people. After further investigation, although no particular issues were discovered, her social network was identified.

After repeatedly confirming her social connections, the next steps became much simpler; Just lure her out and capture her."

Looking at the woman whose figure and appearance were very similar to Butterfly, Dong Tianyu always felt that something was amiss, so he used his Divine Sense to scan her carefully.

Indeed, not only the woman’s face but also her figure had been altered. To put it nicely, it was makeup; to put it bluntly, it was a fake.

Although Yara was an Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist with sharp vision, it was, after all, from a distance that he observed Butterfly that day, so it was normal not to have seen the details. Furthermore, since Yara had never observed Butterfly closely before, mistaking someone else for her was somewhat excusable.

Even though Dong Tianyu had not used his Divine Sense to confirm it further that day at the exhibition, he could still assure that the woman was definitely Butterfly.

The one they captured this time had obviously undergone a disguise. Whether she accepted it willingly or not, it was clear that the quartet already knew they were being watched.

Facing the very confident Yara, Dong Tianyu was not prepared to say much, but Ye Liuyun, by his side, noticed the playful smile on Dong Tianyu’s face. Having spent so much time with Dong Tianyu, Ye Liuyun had guessed what Dong Tianyu was thinking.

Actually, it wouldn’t really matter whether it was said or not; although he had been duped, compared to the losses of others, Ye Liuyun’s own losses were not too impactful.

Had it not been for Yara’s covetousness towards Butterfly and his desire to find an excuse to capture her, Ye Liuyun, unfamiliar with the terrain of Kyoto, would not have said anything even if he met Butterfly face to face and would have simply left quietly.

This was not because Ye Liuyun feared Butterfly, but because Ye Liuyun did not want to take action in unfamiliar territory.

However, since Yara was willing to act, regardless of the reason, Ye Liuyun was definitely going to owe him a favor, but if it turned out Yara had not captured the right person, then the favor would not count.

Ye Liuyun was not the type to owe favors lightly, so, discerning from Dong Tianyu’s expression that something was off about the person captured, Ye Liuyun directly questioned Yara, "Lion, have you interrogated the person you caught?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s question, Yara responded with a smile, "This involves you, doesn’t it? I was afraid that I might pry into something I shouldn’t if I interrogated her early, so as soon as I captured her, I went to look for you guys."

Hearing Yara’s response, Ye Liuyun asked again, "Lion, do you really think that someone who can deceive so many celebrities in Pengcheng would be so easily captured by you after she realized that she had been under your surveillance and investigation for several days?"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s question, Yara, who had maintained a smile throughout the journey, suddenly felt a hint of surprise. Catching the implications of Ye Liuyun’s words, his expression turned serious.

Although they had captured someone, and both the appearance and figure were very similar to the etiquette hostess he had glimpsed from afar at the exhibition, he had never seen her up close, so he could not be certain if the captured person was indeed her.

The eager personality he had displayed initially was actually a facade. After all, everyone likes geniuses, but not everyone enjoys befriending them. Often, it’s those with some character flaws who are more likely to find compatible friends.

As long as the flaws aren’t too severe, like the old saying goes, even Wei Yang managed to have a few foul-smelling friends.

But Yara was not foolish; upon returning, he didn’t just take action, but first consulted with friends in Kyoto to investigate her and get a clear picture of her background, confirming that she was just an etiquette hostess from Pengcheng.

And he learned that her slot was obtained through some beloved means before Yara arranged for her capture.

It’s just that he never expected to get slapped in the face by the very fish he fished for everyday.

Although no further verification had been done, after Ye Liuyun’s pointed question, Yara also felt that he might have captured the wrong person.
