Chapter 227 Mine Driver
The people in the distance were getting closer and closer, and Wu Bei also noticed Lin Xia in the crowd.
There was a flash of surprise in both of their eyes. They didn't expect to meet each other like this.
Wu Bei greeted everyone one by one, and then came to Lin Xia and followed the procedure. She patted Lin Xia on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Do a good job."
Lin Xia also managed her expression well, smiling at Wu Bei and nodded flatteringly.
Although Xiaohe and Muxi had already talked it out, they still chose to follow Lin Xia. Naturally, Muxi had to follow Xiaohe. The two of them stood on either side of Lin Xia. Seeing Lin Xia like this, they both felt that something was amiss.
Lin Xia naturally didn't care about them. Wu Bei said a few more words to remind them to be careful. As long as they worked hard, they would get the money.
Wu Bei emphasized that people from higher up would come and investigate the matter later, and Lin Xia listened to every word.
After Wu Bei finished speaking, the two exchanged glances and Wu Bei left.
However, at noon, Lin Xia left his workplace alone and came to the west side of the mine. The terrain here was complicated, and Lin Xia searched for a long time before he found Wu Bei's trace.
"Captain Wu, long time no see. Why are you here?" Lin Xia jumped down from the slope.
Wu Bei turned around upon hearing Lin Xia's voice and looked at her. The tense expression on her face changed, and she immediately smiled at her. "I was also wondering why you were here."
Lin Xia smiled helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Maybe I was too high-profile and got discovered."
"Who discovered you?" Wu Bei frowned slightly, a little worried.
Lin Xia leaned against a small dirt slope, crossed her arms, and looked at Wu Bei. "Come to think of it, we're acquaintances."
"What are you talking about?" Wu Bei could only think of two acquaintances, Youyou and Mu Ling, but it was hard to say who they were.
"The one from the Mu family."
"Has she confirmed your identity?"
"Even if I'm not sure, I guess it's almost right." Lin Xia thought about what happened in New North Star before, and felt that she was almost exposed.
Thinking of Mu Ling's relentless pursuit, he guessed that he was now the open leader, and he was afraid that Qi Yuan had also been affected. However, they had no way to contact each other now, so he didn't know what the situation was over there.
Wu Bei was also worried that if they were really exposed, things would become more troublesome for them in the future.
"Besides, that Youyou probably guessed who I was."
Wu Bei couldn't believe what she heard, but, "What?" This... are you so recognizable?
"But you don't have to worry. At least we found her."
Wu Bei stared at Lin Xia blankly, "But didn't we find out where she is?"
"Then I hope everything goes well for Brother Qi. After all, I have helped as much as I can."
Wu Bei didn’t know what Lin Xia and the others’ specific plan was, but if they could really locate Youyou, that would be the best.
What they didn't know was that Youyou was smart too. Lin Xia placed the locators that Qi Yuan gave her among the stones, and also secretly placed one on Youyou.
Qi Yuan naturally found Youyou's location, but she ran away and the locator was discovered.
Youyou's whereabouts disappeared again, but when she heard that Lin Xia was not found by Mu Ling and the others, she felt it was a pity. She didn't expect that after all her efforts, not only did she fail to kill anyone, but she was actually being tracked.
"However, I heard that the boss here will be here in the next two days." Wu Bei looked at Lin Xia seriously, "It seems that he couldn't find you elsewhere, so he came here to chase you."
Lin Xia pondered, "It seems like this isn't just a simple matter. Maybe they've already confirmed that I'm here."
Indeed, Lin Xia's guess was reasonable. If Mu Ling hadn't been sure that Lin Xia was here, why would she have come here? Was there some other huge benefit worth her trip?
Wu Bei has been lurking here for some time and is now just a small administrator. Combined with some rumors heard about the mine during this period and the recent expenditures of the mine, it is basically certain that Lin Xia has been exposed.
Seeing Wu Bei looking at her silently, Lin Xia roughly understood what she meant.
"Did they say when to come?"
Wu Bei shook her head. "I didn't mention a specific time, but it's best if you leave early."
Lin Xia looked at Wu Bei seriously, "What about you? Mu Ling has seen both of us. What if she accidentally discovers you?"
Wu Bei was actually feeling lucky, thinking that although Mu Ling had had contact with her, it was mainly with Lin Xia. It was normal for her to remember Lin Xia immediately, but Mu Ling might not recognize Wu Bei immediately.
Seeing Wu Bei didn't say anything, Lin Xia could probably guess something. "If you accidentally expose yourself, do you have a way to leave safely?"
Wu Bei knew that Lin Xia was worried about her, but she had also made a prediction, so she naturally had a plan to escape. Wu Bei nodded.
"Well, can you just transfer me out and go haul the ore?"
"can."
"Okay, when they come, I'll come out to collect the ore. Then I'll just leave. They won't be able to find you even if they chase me."
After Lin Xia finished speaking, the two looked up at each other, their gazes meeting without a word. Seeing Wu Bei's wooden face, Lin Xia was the first to curl her lips and said, "Don't feel burdened. If I don't run, I will have to go deep into the enemy camp."
"be careful."
"Don't worry." Lin Xia waved her hand and turned back. After all, she had said everything she needed to say.
"..."
Lin Xia looked at Xiao He who was looking at her pitifully, and couldn't hold back her expression. "What's wrong?"
"Where have you been?" The boy pouted and looked at her with red eyes. Lin Xia seemed to be hit and stood there in a daze.
"Uh, that. I'll just go out and take care of a physiological problem." Lin Xia didn't know why, but she felt quite guilty.
Xiao He looked at Lin Xia suspiciously, looking up and down, left and right, front and back. After looking around twice, he seemed to be sure that there was nothing wrong with Lin Xia.
"Is there anyone following you secretly?" Xiao He came over quietly and asked in Lin Xia's ear.
Lin Xia also knew what kind of life Xiao He had led before, and felt that it was not easy for him. She raised her hand and touched Xiao He's head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
When Xiao He met Lin Xia's smiling eyes, his mood also improved and he nodded to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia found it funny. The child was quite cute. If possible, she would let him be her younger brother.
"By the way, I won't be going down to the mines anymore. You have to follow Muxi and the others."
"Why? Where are you going?" Visible panic flashed in Xiaohe's eyes.
