Chapter 929: Chapter 0929: The Enigmatic Mother and Daughter

If a 10-year-old loli can handle the mission of seizing the Blood Devil shard, that’s truly extraordinary.

Thoughts swirled in his mind, but they were all guesses.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Hua, how could ’Mother’ be with me? There’s no such thing as a thirty- or forty-year-old beauty around me."

Hua XiYi chuckled and replied, "Did I say she was in her thirties or forties? Haha!"

Well, Zhang Jing is already like a ’Mother’!

This...

Luo Yang was compelled to ask again, "Sister Hua, you said they’re mother and daughter assassins. Her daughter is really young, isn’t she? Can she be an assassin too?"

Xiao Xiao Niu had just explicitly stated that Zhang Jing was with Luo Yang. Luo Yang guessed this information might have been provided to her by the grandmother-granddaughter duo.

Hua XiYi seemed to find it amusing, bursting out with hearty laughter.

Stars scattered across the heavens winked playfully, appearing to echo Hua XiYi’s laughter.

After laughing, Hua XiYi said, "Haha! What sort of wild guesses are you making? Haha!"

Logical deductions with solid backing—how could those be wild guesses?

Luo Yang felt indignant and sneered, "Sister Hua, giving birth to a child at the age of one—surely that’s impossible, right?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zishan let out a snicker.

"Haha! Birth at the age of one—is that not possible? Haha!" Hua XiYi seemed to be at a loss for words.

The conversation had reached a critical point; any further talk would openly break the facade.

"Sister Hua, you’re quite the talent."

Luo Yang chuckled and immediately switched the topic.

"Sister Hua, does her mother look exactly like her?"

Luo Yang thought the beauty he saw in the surveillance footage was Zhang Jing.

As for what Zhang Jing’s ’Mother’ looked like, Luo Yang hadn’t seen her.

Hua XiYi responded seriously, "Haha! Didn’t I already tell you? ’Mother’ is with you! Haha!"

Even though her words were delivered seriously, because of the laughter tied to them, Luo Yang couldn’t avoid thinking she was joking.

Besides, none of it made any sense!

He had already reasoned this out in his mind earlier: if the person with Hongyun Brigade was the ’Mother’ and the person in the surveillance footage was the daughter, Zhang Jing must be at least forty years old.

This wasn’t entirely implausible.

If a woman maintains her youth exceptionally well, looking like a twenty-something young lady at forty isn’t unheard of.

However, regardless of how smooth and youthful someone might appear, there’s one thing that can’t deceive anyone.

With Luo Yang’s extensive experience of spending time with countless beauties, it’s something he can easily discern.

That’s right—the eyes.

A forty-year-old beauty may appear youthful, but her eyes—having weathered life’s experiences—will never be as pure and innocent as those of a young girl.

The eyes of older individuals possess a worldly depth, an inherent maturity, and a seasoned wisdom which cannot be feigned.

In interpersonal dealings, those who’ve been through life have their ways—they wouldn’t behave with shyness.

Take Zhang Jing as an example. Although Luo Yang hadn’t spent much time with her, he had caught glimpses of girlish bashfulness in her youthful countenance and pure eyes.

Don’t ask how he could tell—it’s simple. With so many young ladies around him, how could Luo Yang not understand the specifics of their demeanor?

Now Hua XiYi insists the one at Hongyun Brigade is the ’Mother,’ but Luo Yang absolutely doesn’t believe it.

"Sister Hua, you sure know how to joke around," Luo Yang said with a laugh.

Hua XiYi had a fiery temper, and Luo Yang didn’t want to push her too far.

"Haha! You think I’m joking? I told you—I’m not joking! Haha!"

"Sister Hua, if she started having children at thirteen, would her family agree to that?"

When it came to Zhang Jing’s background, Hua XiYi likely knew quite a lot.

She simply refused to share it.

Knowing that directly probing would only annoy Xiao Xiao Niu, Luo Yang had no choice but to employ a more indirect approach to see if he could extract the information he wanted.

"Haha! Did I say she gave birth at thirteen?" Hua XiYi said mockingly.

"Well, if she had a child at twenty, the kid would only be three or four years old. A killer that young could definitely win a Guinness World Record, don’t you think?"

Hearing his teasing words, Zhu Zishan chuckled.

As they continued discussing Zhang Jing, Zhu Zishan increasingly found Luo Yang’s perspective aligning with her own.

"Haha! You don’t understand; she’s actually..."

Just as she was about to say something, Hua XiYi stopped herself, possibly realizing it could lead to unnecessary trouble.

"Sister Hua, the person in the surveillance footage—she’s the one I know, right?"

"Haha! I already said—it’s the daughter!"

Feeling slightly annoyed by her continuous dodging, Luo Yang remained silent.

In truth, he had considered calling Lang Yifeng to confirm whether the grandmother-granddaughter duo was still at Hongyun Brigade.

He simply hadn’t had the chance to make the call yet.

Now, with Hua XiYi insisting the "Zhang Jing" in the surveillance footage was the daughter, Luo Yang wanted to validate the claim while also gathering updates on the grandmother-granddaughter duo.

It was deep into the night, nearing dawn, when Luo Yang assumed Lang Yifeng would be asleep.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t disturb Lang Yifeng, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

Taking out his phone, he dialed the number.

After multiple rings, Lang Yifeng finally answered the call.

Before the call connected, Hua XiYi had asked suspiciously, "Haha! Who are you calling this late at night?"

Luo Yang replied, "I’m reaching out to a few experts. Top-tier folks—invincible, undefeated in any battle."

Relieved by his response, Hua XiYi eased her vigilance.

Once the call connected, Lang Yifeng’s voice came through groggily. "Master, is something wrong?"

From his drowsy tone, it was apparent he’d been sound asleep.

If it had been daytime, Luo Yang could have tasked Lang Yifeng with directly locating Zhang Jing to check whether she was still at Hongyun Brigade.

Near dawn, however, barging into her dorm wouldn’t be appropriate.

One indirect way to determine whether Zhang Jing was still at Hongyun Brigade was to check if the grandmother-granddaughter duo had left.

Conveniently, the duo were renting a house owned by Lang Yifeng; asking him would provide clarity.

Since Hua XiYi was nearby, Luo Yang couldn’t phrase his question too directly, lest he risk implying suspicion toward the duo.

Such an approach might alert Xiao Xiao Niu to his intentions, hindering his mission to seize the Blood Devil shard.

"I didn’t return to the village tonight and forgot to call home to check on them. Are they all doing well? Those staying at your house—everything fine there too?" Luo Yang pretended to ask casually.

"I suppose they’re fine—I haven’t heard any issues. As for those at my place, just the mother’s daughter isn’t home. I heard she went out with you. Is that right, Master?" Lang Yifeng replied.

Luo Yang froze momentarily upon hearing this.

"Yeah. So everyone else is still there?" He referred to the grandmother-granddaughter duo.

"Yes. Earlier tonight, I even brought home some late-night snacks for them. Just Little Huizi and her grandmother."

The grandmother-granddaughter duo was still at Hongyun Brigade?

Based on Luo Yang’s knowledge, their presence at Hongyun Brigade was entirely tied to Zhang Jing.

If Zhang Jing had left, there was no reason for the duo to remain.

Of course, they could delay their departure by half a day.

Originally hoping to hear confirmation that the duo had already left Hongyun Brigade, Luo Yang found himself surprised that they were still there.

This made it difficult to determine whether Zhang Jing herself was still at Hongyun Brigade. He could only wait until daytime and have Lang Yifeng check directly.

"Morning—please help me get in touch with Zhang Jing, who’s staying at the Village Office, and ask her to call me. She seems to have changed her phone number," Luo Yang instructed.

"Got it, Master," Lang Yifeng replied.

After Luo Yang ended the call, Hua XiYi seemed to have somewhat deduced what he’d been up to.

"Haha! You don’t trust me? ’Mother’ is still there, and the daughter has already arrived—possibly not just one. Haha!" Hua XiYi said teasingly.
