Frowning slightly, Yao Ran added, "Besides, we have been here for over a month. With the Long family controlling this place behind the scenes, it is strange they haven’t found out where A Yu lives."
Pausing for a moment, Yao Ran’s eyes flickered as she muttered, "Unless... someone is blocking the news on purpose."
Hao Ze was surprised by her accurate deduction from the little information he had provided.
After a moment of silence, Hao Ze said, "Miss Yao, you are right."
Yao Ran raised an eyebrow at his words and asked, "Brother Hao, do you know something?"
Hao Ze nodded. "The thug leader told me last night that the young master of the Long family hired assassins to kill Brother Long."
Seeing his hesitation, Yao Ran pressed, "Is there more?"
After hesitating for a moment, Hao Ze continued, "The thug leader also mentioned that Young Master Long offered a generous reward for anyone who could bring you to him alive."
Hearing this, Yao Ran chuckled. Her eyes turned cold as she slowly said, "It seems I need to visit him to refresh his memory."
Watching her laugh, Hao Ze suddenly shuddered as a chill ran down his spine. Rubbing the back of his neck, he wondered, ’Did I catch a cold? Why did the temperature suddenly feel colder today?’
While Hao Ze was still puzzled by the sudden chill, Yao Ran took out another batch of medicine, food, and water from her space.
She smiled and said, "Brother Hao, thank you for your hard work. These are your rewards."
Seeing the supplies filling the low table, Hao Ze couldn’t hide his happiness. He smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Yao. If not for you, my wife and son would be dead by now."
Yao Ran shook her head and said, "We made an agreement, and I’m just fulfilling my promise."
Noticing it was almost lunchtime, Hao Ze said, "Miss Yao, I still need to prepare medicine for my wife and son. I won’t bother you any longer."
Seeing that he only brought a backpack, Yao Ran took out a large sack and said, "Brother Hao, you can use this sack to carry the supplies."
"Thank you." Hao Ze took the sack and packed everything inside.
With his backpack on his chest and the sack on his back, Hao Ze said, "Then, I will take my leave first. I will visit you again after I find more information."
Yao Ran escorted him out and reminded him, "The people behind the potion are dangerous. Be careful."
"Understood."
After Hao Ze left, Yao Ran took out her backpack and her long sword before leaving her house. As she walked downstairs, she called Long Yu.
"A Yu, I have something to do and will be back before dinner."
Long Yu lowered his voice and replied, "Alright. Be careful out there."
