“May I ask what the relationship between you three is? Why have you come to Chongming Island?” an inspector on duty bowed politely and asked with a smile .

The regulations at the entrance of Chongming Island were a lot stricter than they thought . It felt like they were trying to enter a foreign country . However, they had their own reasons . The place was a different district . In order to maintain order, applying strict control at the entrance was a reasonable solution .

“She’s my girlfriend, and this is my sister . I’ve brought them here for a short little trip . Shanghai was getting quite boring, so we decided to visit some other places . I was told that most places here are a great experience of nature,” Mo Fan was dressed in casual clothing right now, and replied calmly .

“Brother, I want to ride a horse, can I please ride a horse!” blurted out Lingling playfully . Her cute, adorable look immediately earned the inspector’s affection .

The inspector smilingly said, “You can go to Wanfeng Town if you want to ride a horse . They have a huge ranch there . ”

“Do they really have horses there? I thought only the Inner Mongolia has horses?” asked Lingling .

“HAHA, we have horses here, too! Most towns here are traditional ranches . We supply the freshest meat you can find in the cities . You will know once you visit the ranches . That frozen, imported, fake meat is incomparable to ours . You have come to the right place if you’re thinking of enjoying nature,” the inspector smiled .

The inspector returned their identification while he was speaking . He had no reason to doubt the couple who had come traveling with a younger sister .

“Thank you, uncle,” said Lingling with a sweet smile .

“What uncle, I am not even in my thirties!” the inspector laughed .

“Thank you, young uncle . ”

“…”

As they passed the checkpoint, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue subconsciously looked at Lingling .

Lingling had regained her usual indifferent look . She looked like a completely different person than the active, adorable girl just a moment ago . They both felt it was a waste that she was not interested in winning an Oscar .

As they boarded the bus, Lingling immediately took out her notebook computer and rapidly smashed the keys . The screen blinked continuously . It was so quick that Mo Fan had no idea what she was searching for .

“I just checked the businesses that are registered and excluded those that I think are unlikely to be our target . By the way, the ranches that the inspector mentioned seem to be working with the government . However, most of them are privately owned . There aren’t any problems with their production and sales, but you can easily fake most of them and use the business as a front,” said Lingling .

Lingling was fully prepared before they departed for the island . There were lots of towns on Chongming Island, but the girl had already filtered out half of them .

“If they could secretly help Salan flee the country, the business must be big enough to do international trading . With that in mind, there are only six possible targets left . Most of them are privately owned by some big shots,” Lingling quickly listed the six possible targets and marked them on a map .

“The closest one to us is Tuna Trading Co . , LTD, at Wanfeng Town . Let’s check it out first,” said Mo Fan pointing at one of the markers on the map .

The bus was rather slow . It was noon before they arrived in Wanfeng Town .

The town was built with careful planning . The roads, plants, and buildings were obviously built in specific spots . It felt like a vacation town the moment they arrived . Transportation was convenient, too .

Mu Ningxue and Lingling were dressed in identical clothing: a cardigan, a middle-long flared skirt, and a ruffled hat . People on the street kept turning around to look at their casual, but attractive outfits . Mo Fan almost forgot they were currently in the tiger’s den .

When they arrived at Tuna Trading Co . LTD . , they went around searching for clues while telling the people they had lost their way as an excuse . However, they realized the place was just a normal factory for processing tuna . There was nothing fishy about it… ahem!

They spent some time looking around Wanfeng Town to check out other places, but the whole town seemed normal .

“The people of the Black Vatican are used to hiding in a busy city . It’s quite tricky to ferret them out if they aren’t showing themselves, and we can’t let the Black Vatican realize what we are up to . They are in the dark, while we are in the light . If they know we are up to something, we are unlikely to leave Chongming Island in one piece,” warned Mo Fan in a serious voice .

Mu Ningxue nodded . She was well aware of the Black Vatican’s methods . Both Yu Ang and Mu He hid in their family for so long, yet no one had realized their secret identities .

Perhaps it was the scariest thing about the Black Vatican . They were a bunch of vicious criminals, but they still lived among normal people . They were like ticking time bombs that no one could do anything about!

“Let’s not hurry to the next town . We should spend a day here,” said Lingling .

Since they were pretending to be on a trip, they should stick to their disguises . It was suspicious if they moved on to the next town without spending more than half a day in the first one . As Mo Fan mentioned, they could not afford to be spotted by the people of the Black Vatican . Otherwise, they would find themselves in grave danger!

They stayed in Wanfeng Town for the whole day . The shops did have some delicacies . Mo Fan simply forgot about the Black Vatican and enjoyed the vacation .

At night, Mo Fan suggested they get only one room .

The two girls agreed, but as Mo Fan expected, he was asked to sleep alone on a bed, while the two girls slept on the other .

——

Their next destination was Pingyi Town . Both Pingyi and Zhenming Towns had ranching as their main source of income . These unique ranches that preserved the ecology had slowly turned Chongming Island into a tourist attraction .

As they were arriving in Pingyi Town, they saw both sides of the road were covered in green grass . They did not look like the irregular weeds of Inner Mongolia, but each stalk seemed to be carefully taken care of . It was clean like a carpet laid down on the ground . The grass was not too dense, but was not too scattered, either . The beautiful scene and fresh air blew on their faces .

The green landscape was a clear contrast to the concrete, steel, and glass in a developed city . There were people on the bus who resembled university students on a trip who blurted out in surprise:

“Wow, awesome, it’s my first time seeing such a huge field of grass!”

“See, what did I tell you? You won’t regret it if you come!” proclaimed a nerdy young man wearing a pair of glasses with golden frames .

“Look at the spectacular building on the hill in the distance . I feel like living in there!” exclaimed a girl with bangs excitedly .
