Chapter 145 My lord, my skills are still better, aren't they?
Although the trip was rushed, everything was arranged in an orderly manner with Lingling around.
Entering Chongming Island always feels like entering another territory; even at the entrance, you need to be checked by special personnel.
With Hua Yu and Lingling together, this combination of a big and a small child was unlikely to arouse suspicion from outsiders.
The two passed the check and successfully entered Chongming Island.
"I've done a preliminary screening of the surrounding towns, and there are a total of six places that match the location of the Black Vatican's hideout. We may need to spend some time exploring them."
Lingling circled six locations on the map and marked them for Huayu to see.
Hua Yu pondered for a moment, then took the map from Lingling's hand, examined it carefully for a while, and said, "Let's go straight to Zhenming Town."
On the map, the most striking feature of Zhenming Town is its vast pastures.
Upon seeing these ranches, Hua Yu instantly recalled some vague memories, and thus decided to make them their first stop there.
Although Lingling was puzzled, she didn't ask any more questions and quickly began to research the best route to get there.
The two set off in the afternoon, and by the time they arrived in Zhenming Town, it was already dark.
There aren't many lights here; it's a truly rural area.
The surroundings were quiet, without any of the hustle and bustle of the city, except for the occasional whistling sound of the sea breeze and river wind.
There are no hotels or similar places in the vicinity, only a few large country villas.
Hua Yu took Lingling to a ranch estate specifically for tourists.
The estate is quite luxurious, with facilities such as a ranch, golf course, riding stable, and dance floor. Of course, the price is not cheap.
This place is a private club and is not a place that ordinary people can enter or leave.
Hua Yu had also called Zhao Manyan in advance, because in business matters, the Zhao family was the best choice.
Basically, there's nothing in the business world that the Zhao family can't handle.
Led by the manor's butler, Hua Yu and Ling Ling first went to the guest rooms.
After they entered the room, Hua Yu had just laid out the homework she had prepared in advance on the table when a maid named Carly pushed in a small cart with a pot of black tea and two cups on it.
"Try our local specialty black tea. Everyone who comes here drinks it; you absolutely can't find it anywhere else," Carly said with a smile.
"Really?" Hua Yu's eyes lit up, her voice filled with eagerness. But after hesitating for a moment, she glanced at Lingling, who was doing her homework, and said, "You can leave it there for now. I still need to help this girl with her homework. I'll bring it down to you guys after I finish my drink."
"No need, no need, just leave it here in a bit, and a staff member will come to collect it." Carly maintained her usual smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all." Hua Yu nodded and continued to guide Lingling in doing her homework.
Carly glanced at the two of them, who were busy, and decided not to disturb them any further. After leaving the teapot there, she pushed the cart away.
After she left, Lingling raised her head, pouted, and said, "They've prepared quite a lot."
"Your acting is pretty good too," Hua Yu said, patting Lingling's head.
Lingling got up and walked to the teapot. After glancing at it, she asked with some doubt, "Is there something wrong with this tea?"
"I'm not sure." Hua Yu shrugged, then explained, "After all, this is where you have the most suspicions, so we have to be careful about everything we do here, especially when it comes to food and drink."
"Should I check it?" Lingling poured herself a cup of black tea, then looked at the tea in the cup with some seriousness.
"Can."
Hua Yu nodded, leaving Lingling alone in the room, and then walked out of the room himself.
With his sonic abilities, he could sense every place within the manor.
There was only one place, which seemed to be protected by some kind of barrier, and it was able to isolate his senses.
However, the more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.
Hua Yu smiled lightly and walked in that direction without any attempt to hide her feelings.
Along the way, he attracted the attention of all the guests and staff inside the manor.
Hua Yu's actions were intentional; he wanted to make his movements public so that the Black Vatican members hidden among them could report to their superiors.
Once they report it, Hua Yu can directly locate the Black Vatican members in the vicinity.
"Sir, someone's route seems to be heading in your direction."
In the corner, a waiter was communicating with someone through a headset, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Hua Yu.
"Buzz~~~"
The space trembled slightly.
The waiter, who had just hung up the phone after receiving the instruction, lost sight of the person in front of him in a moment of inattention.
"Huh? Where is everyone?"
The waiter quickly poked his head out to look around.
But in that empty corridor, there was no trace of the silver-haired youth.
"Silence!"
Just then, a faint voice came from behind him.
The waiter seemed to realize something and hurriedly turned around, only to see the silver-haired youth who had just disappeared standing behind him with an icy expression.
"You you you"
The male waiter shakily reached out his hand, looking at Hua Yu with disbelief, completely unable to understand why this guy was here.
"compression!"
A single thought arises, and magic appears.
The moment the silver light appeared, Hua Yu had already turned and left.
Behind him, only a pool of blood remained, flowing down the wall.
Fortunately, the waiter chose a corner specifically to make that phone call; otherwise, the bloodstains would have been discovered much sooner.
Scenes like this are playing out in many places along the entire corridor.
Basically, almost all the waiters in this manor are members of the Black Vatican.
This surprised even Hua Yu.
Behind this magnificent main building is a dimly lit building, which is the place that can shield Hua Yu from detection.
Hua Yu covered himself with the sound of the string, and then silently slipped inside.
From the very beginning, when he brought Lingling here, he never intended for her to investigate slowly. That might solve the problem, but it would be too time-consuming.
Before the Black Vatican members could react, Hua Yu's goal was to find Fang Shaoli, one of Salang's nine disciples.
In the lounge of this building, a woman with brown hair, dressed as a waitress with a red bow tie, stretched out her legs and savored her drink with a contented expression.
At her feet, two men were vying to lick her feet.
One of the men, while licking, suddenly raised his head with a fawning expression and asked the woman, "Sir, isn't my technique better?"
