I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

After noticing her father's gaze, Lin Yuxia didn't rush to explain. Instead, she lowered her head and spoke to Gretchen in her arms.

After she finished speaking, she hugged the person.

She entered the candy store and then placed the person on the stool next to her father.

"Phew... Don't move, let me check if you're injured. Sorry for the intrusion." With that, Lin Yuxia quickly squatted down, gently grasped Greta's snow-white calf, and then lifted her foot to check.

As for why Lin Yuxia brought Grey back and even rushed to check if she was injured, it all started before that.

Actually, after leaving the alley where the two met, Miss Lin wanted to carry Gretsch or take her to buy a pair of shoes, since some of the roads in the slums were really not in good condition.

However, due to the little girl's insistence, neither of the above two ideas were successfully realized at that time... but only for a short while.

As they approached the Rat King's candy store, Greta accidentally stepped on some shards of glass.

From that moment on, the little girl's explanations and "insistence" became useless. She was immediately grabbed and pulled into the arms of Lin Yuxia, who had been watching her closely, and they ran off together.

However, to Lin Yuxia's surprise, the soles of the person's feet were smooth and clean, without a trace of dirt, let alone any small wounds.

"Well, as I said before, I'm not injured and my foot doesn't hurt, so Sister Yuxia doesn't need to worry..." Seeing the obvious surprise in the person in front of her, Gretchen explained in a slightly helpless voice.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxia didn't rush to respond. Instead, she lifted Gretsch's other foot to check it. After confirming that everything was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright."

"But there's no dust on your feet, and you're not injured. Is this your ability?"

"Hmm, this way, without shoes, my feet won't get dirty..."

Faced with Lin Yuxia's curious question, Greta nodded her head slightly and answered.

"Fine……"

Although there were still some details to consider regarding Gretchen's answer, Lin Yuxia did not delve into them at the moment.

Instead, he turned to his elderly father, who had been watching the show, and said, "Sorry, something came up on the way here and I was delayed. Here, these are the things you didn't bring."

"I thought you'd run into some danger, you little rascal. Turns out you've just brought back a little girl." Lin Gerui took the things his daughter handed him, stroked his beard, and teased her.

“What danger could I possibly encounter in this area? Besides, I have no interest in kidnapping children; I just saw she was lost and wanted to help her.”

While explaining to her father, Lin Yuxia looked at Gretchen again and said, "After all, her outfit doesn't look like that of a child from this area."

"Haha, indeed, there won't be any innocent and pure children like this little girl here."

Lin Gerui, who had been observing Gretchen since she was first discovered, chuckled twice and nodded, saying, "Since she's not one of us, let's find out as soon as possible and then send her back."

"Ah."

Lin Yuxia, who shared the same thoughts as her father, naturally had no objection to what he said.

However, Miss Lin did not choose to continue asking questions immediately. Instead, she turned her head slightly to Gretchen, who was sitting obediently next to her, and said, "Sister just said she would treat you to candy. Go and choose the one you like."

"Um...is that okay?"

Upon hearing Lin Yuxia's words, Greta was taken aback for a moment, then blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

"Of course you can, but don't eat too much at once, or your teeth will rot." Hearing this, Lin Yuxia nodded gently. She always kept her word, especially a promise she made to a child.

"Okay!"

Although she didn't lack for sugar, Greta didn't disappoint Lin Yuxia's kindness.

Of course, the little girl wasn't the type to take advantage of others. Plus, she had previously been influenced by Lin Yuxia's colors, so her mission progress had increased by 1. Therefore, she planned to paint a picture for her later as a return gift.

……

After watching Gretchen take some candy and sit back down in her chair, Lin Yuxia spoke seriously:

"Alright, now I'll ask you some more questions. Gretchen, you have to answer them carefully."

"Well, Sister Yuxia, you can ask. If I know, I'll tell you..." Gretchen nodded obediently in response to Lin Yuxia's serious expression.

"First question, where do you live?"

After gathering her thoughts, Lin Yuxia asked the question that had been "avoided" before.

"Hmm, my home isn't in Lungmen... If I'm staying temporarily, um... in a hotel?"

"I've forgotten the name..."

Upon hearing this, Greta pondered for a moment and replied softly in a somewhat uncertain voice.

"..."

Gretchen's few words plunged Lin Yuxia into silence once again, and she even subconsciously glanced at her father sitting beside her.

While Miss Lin could understand that Gretchen was young and didn't remember things, ...it seemed she was still not good at this kind of thing. In fact, it was probably beyond her scope of work!

"Why are you staring at me, you brat? You brought this back yourself, deal with it yourself." Noticing his daughter's gaze, Lin Gerui touched...

He stroked his beard and said, as if watching a show.

"No, I didn't intend to trouble you. I can handle this kind of small matter myself. I was just thinking about whether to find someone with the relevant expertise." As she spoke, two faces she hadn't seen for a while flashed through Lin Yuxia's mind.

"...Let's put that question aside for now. Gretchen, you don't know where the person you're looking for is now, but do you remember his name?"

Since she hadn't yet inquired about and confirmed all the known information, Ms. Lin temporarily put aside the idea of ​​"calling the police" and turned to inquire again.

"Remember???)."

"Who?" Looking at Lin Yuxia, who had finally obtained some useful information, he couldn't help but ask.

"Ugh, the person I'm looking for is named Chen Huijie... Does Sister Yuxia know her?"

"?"

Chapter 70 Heading to Lin Yuxia's Worries

"?"

"Wait, what did you say that person's name was?" After learning the person's name from Gretchen, Lin Yuxia was taken aback at first, then her expression turned strange as she asked.

“Hmm… Chen Huijie? If this older sister hasn’t changed her appearance, she should have dark blue hair and two dragon horns…” Observing the reaction of the person in front of her, Gretchen obediently described the name of this target again, and thoughtfully added a description of her appearance.

"..."

If Lin Yuxia could still hold onto a sliver of hope just now, the little guy's description made her realize she wasn't wrong.

In Lungmen, the only dragon girl with deep blue hair named Chen Huijie is her "friend" who works at the Guard Bureau...

For a moment, Lin Yuxia could only say it was a coincidence; she had just been thinking of calling the police when she got involved with them.

"Ahem... It's quite a coincidence that I happen to know the person you're looking for, Gretchen. I can take you to her, but can you tell me why you want to see her?" After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuxia coughed lightly and then asked.

"Well, someone asked me to bring some things to Chen Huijie..." Greta explained without batting an eye.

"Wait, let me summarize..." Lin Yuxia said, starting to piece together the fragmented information she had heard.

"The whole thing is, Gretchen, you came to Lungmen for fun, and since you were passing by, someone asked you to deliver something to Chen Huijie, so you came out alone this time, right?"

"Hmm...that's about right."

After listening to Lin Yuxia's long description, Greta nodded slightly and said.

"Then you must have gotten lost quite a distance."

As she spoke, Lin Yuxia slightly furrowed her brows, then her tone suddenly became stern:

"Moreover, the person who asked you for help is really irresponsible. They asked you for help but didn't tell you where Chen Huijie was, leaving such a young child to wander around in an unfamiliar place."

"Forehead……"

After hearing Lin Yuxia's accusatory words, Gretchen was slightly taken aback. Then, for the sake of Talulah's reputation, she waved her hand and explained, "This has nothing to do with Talulah. I offered to help, and besides, she hasn't seen Sister Huijie for a long time."

"...Alright, don't run out alone like that next time. If you're looking for someone, remember to bring your parents." After hearing Gretchen's explanation, Lin Yuxia didn't know what else to say, so she turned around and gave her some instructions.

"Ok!"

"Wait a moment, I'll contact that guy first, and then I'll take you there to see her in a bit. I'll also ask her to help me find out the name of the hotel you're staying at."

Lin Yuxia looked at Gretchen, who had listened to her instructions and then seriously agreed, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Sister Yuxia..."

"Oh, by the way... remember to explain to me what you meant by 'color' on the way there."

Lin Yuxia, who was typing, seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously.

"Um……"

------------------

the other side--

Chen Huijie, who had just finished a field mission, apprehended a criminal, put him in a police car, and sent him away, took out her phone, which was already on silent, from her pocket to check the time.

However, it would have been better if she hadn't looked, because once she did, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Of course, if it were just a string of messages, it wouldn't have surprised Chen. What surprised her was the person who sent the messages, Lin Yuxia... It wasn't that she didn't know her, but they certainly didn't contact each other often.

After suppressing his initial surprise, Chen quickly browsed through the messages Lin Yuxia had sent him. After all, this "friend" who rarely contacted him might have something important to say this time.

"..."

After reading Lin Yuxia's concise message, Chen fell into a brief state of thought.

After thinking for a moment and not finding any useful information in her mind, she slowly replied to the message on the other end.

I'm currently out on fieldwork, but I'll get back as soon as possible.

If you're in a hurry, you can take that young lady there first. Swire is still with the Royal Guard; she can help.

Okay, I understand. I'll tell her and then I'll take some people over.

Not long after Chen replied, Lin Yuxia quickly sent a message.

"..."

After receiving a clear reply from the other side, Chen Huijie put away her phone, adjusted her original plans, and then headed towards the Guard Bureau.

If she had known this would happen, she would have just taken a police car home...

---------------

"Alright, we've arrived. This is the Lungmen Guard Bureau, and it's also where Chen Huijie, the person you're looking for, works." Lin Yuxia held Gretchen's hand as they stood at the entrance of the Guard Bureau, and then quietly introduced the building to her.

"However, you will have to wait a while before you can see her."
