Chapter 0009: The Observer in the Shadows

Just as the driver took off his sunglasses and fixed a strange gaze on Nie Yuxuan, the cheerful husky suddenly tensed up, raising its head to stare intently at the driver who was leaning halfway out of the window across the street, emitting a threatening growl.

The sound of cracking immediately followed with a series of echoes.

A faint sound of snickering could be heard in the carriage: "Don't worry, boss, when we make our move, we will treat that husky like a military dog!"

At eight o'clock in the morning, not only was the entire community enveloped in silence, but the surrounding areas were also tranquil. There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and aside from the breakfast shop, all other stores were closed, giving no sense of being in the city center

"Yes." The young officer responded, and then noticed an open document on the table. To his surprise, instead of a photo of a suspect, there was an image of a black spider web in that section, which left him feeling puzzled.

Nie Yuxuan was leisurely walking her beloved dog along the street. Although this dog had caused her a lot of trouble the day before and she had intended to punish it severely, after a good night's sleep, seeing it wagging its tail and holding the leash in its mouth, pleading to go for a walk, she naturally forgot the punishment she had planned for it. She changed her clothes and, humming a tune, took her dog out.

The driver pushed up the glasses on his nose, turned his body, and began to scrutinize the passing pedestrians with a hint of caution. His furtive actions ultimately betrayed him, as a black, spider web-like tattoo on his neck inadvertently became visible.

The driver showed no signs of embarrassment; instead, he calmly took out a cigarette, lit it, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he smiled and said: "Damn, how dare you look me in the eye without any avoidance, you really are a little firecracker. But it's precisely this kind of girl that makes things interesting. And that husky over there is quite perceptive; from such a distance, it can actually sense my malice. Isn't it said that huskies are all quite foolish? How come this one is sharper than a police dog? When you make your move, you must take this husky's capabilities into account, or you might end up tripping over just one husky."

Nie Yuxuan did not scold the husky this time; instead, she followed suit and turned her gaze over. Naturally, she also saw the driver. For some reason, when her eyes met the driver's, goosebumps immediately appeared on Nie Yuxuan's skin.

Amidst the sound of music, the faint clicking of a camera can be heard, along with the low murmur of the driver: "At three o'clock, the woman carrying a small red bag; at seven o'clock, the man briskly walking with a black shoulder bag."

The door of the director's office was knocked on. While chewing on a bun, Nie Longzhen casually responded, "Come in."

A young man in a police uniform strode in, closed the door firmly, stood at attention and saluted, then presented a document while reporting: "Director, the operation yesterday went smoothly, but as we expected, they were merely small fry, and the leads directly ended at the tail."

... ...

"Send this girl's photo to the second group. After we go back to change cars, we will come back to keep an eye on her," the driver said as he put on his sunglasses. Then, through the lenses, he stared intently at Nie Yuxuan, grinned, turned the steering wheel, pressed the accelerator, and drove away.

This made her frown involuntarily, but she did not avert her gaze; instead, like a husky, she fixed her eyes intently on the other person

Awoo! The husky looked at its owner and nodded.

A person and a dog stared at the car as it drove away until it was out of sight. Nie Yuxuan frowned and said, "Tian Cu, that driver doesn't look like a good person. I wonder why he appeared at the entrance of this community. Should we tell Dad about it?"

... ...

Upon hearing the owner's voice, the husky merely turned its head, displaying a look of confusion and let out a soft howl. Then, it eagerly began to sniff around, occasionally gnawing on the branches of the greenery, digging a few times at the edge of the flowerbed, suddenly dashing forward a few steps, and then turning back to run a few steps, which caused Nie Yuxuan, who was originally in a relaxed mood, to scold it playfully while having to occasionally correct the husky's direction forcefully.

However, Nie Yuxuan clearly misunderstood the meaning of Er Ha. She squatted down, hugged Er Ha's neck, and laughed, "Yes, yes, my sister has sweet vinegar to protect her, so there's nothing to fear. Come on, let's go wake that little rascal up. It's such a waste of time to sleep in during the holidays!" Saying this, she cheerfully pulled Er Ha along.

The driver did not turn off the engine, simply rolled down the window, and the sound of music came out. The driver, wearing sunglasses, calmly lit a cigarette and began to smoke, nodding his head to the rhythm of the music, appearing quite relaxed.

And with the driver's whisper, the dense sound of snapping will undoubtedly follow closely behind

At this moment, a mid-priced city SUV with black window tint slowly drove to the temporary parking space across the road from the community and came to a very standard stop

This morning, the mysterious driver wearing dark sunglasses lingered for a short while. As the time passed, various shops along the street began to open for business. One by one, small cars queued up, honking as they used their cards to exit the community. The bustling traffic quickly spread across the area.

"Sweet Vinegar, do you think it might not be very good for us to go looking for the little rascal so early? That little rascal can sleep like a log during the holidays, and if he gets woken up, he can be quite grumpy. If he loses his temper, Sweet Vinegar, you will have to protect me, your sister." Nie Yuxuan said to herself with a smile.

As Nie Longzhen took the document, he also picked up a box of soy milk and took a sip. While flipping through the pages, he said: "At the time the arrest warrant was issued, there was already a prediction. It was meant to stir the grass and scare the snake, to prompt the surveillance team to enhance their monitoring. That guy definitely won't stay hidden for long."

This continued for more than half an hour, and as the flow of cars and people in the community began to diminish, the driver suddenly took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of cold and greedy eyes. He stared intently across the street, his tongue flicking out to lick his lips, and with a somewhat sinister smile, he whispered: "At 11 o'clock, a girl holding a Siberian Husky, heh heh, after watching for so long, this is the most outstanding merchandise!"

As soon as the work hours began, the previously somewhat noisy sounds in the municipal building immediately vanished, and the police officers each took up their respective positions.

However, regarding such matters, whether it is the security personnel at the entrance of the community or the pedestrians, as well as the nearby shop owners and residents, they have all become accustomed to it. After all, it is currently the summer vacation period, and many shops that cater specifically to students have taken the opportunity to go on holiday and enjoy themselves.

The dog furrowed its brow, but its nature quickly had it wagging its tail joyfully, leaping back and forth.
