Within a minute, the bus had arrived at the next stop. The following stop was not the last stop of this bus. This stop was hectic, as it was the hub of several bus lines. The bus did not drop passengers right away because the buses had to wait their turn. Many buses in front were queuing to drop and pick up passengers.

Because it was a hub stop, many passengers also got off to change buses. They rushed to their feet, although they still had to wait for the bus to start dropping passengers. It was a good thing for Qiuzhen because if only he and that person got off at that stop, of course, that person would be suspicious, and he would not be able to follow that person again.

After getting off at the bus stop, Qiuzhen looked for a seat straight away, so that it would be easier for him to keep an eye on that person. He needed to be more careful because he didn't know which bus the mysterious person would take.

This hub stop turned out to be huge. There were a total of eight bus stops to drop off and pick up passengers. Earlier, they got off at stop number two.

Now the person was walking towards the end. Qiuzhen continued to observe him from afar. The person then queues at stop number eight. The queues there were so long, Qiuzhen thought that if a bus on that line came, that person would definitely not be able to get on there. Too many passengers in front. He definitely had to wait for the next bus.

Qiuzhen quickly walked towards the portable restroom that was nearby. Luckily, the box was empty. Inside, he quickly flipped over his jacket, replaced the hood with a baseball cap, and swapped out his glasses. His appearance differed entirely from before.

Qiuzhen got out of the portable restroom and rushed to the queue at stop number eight. He changed clothes in the box only briefly. However, in a short time, it turned out to be a significant increase in the queue's length. Qiuzhen was worried that he could not get on the same bus as the person in the black hat.

The bus they were waiting for then arrived at the stop. Exactly as Qiuzhen predicted, that person couldn't get on the bus because there were too many passengers queuing in front of him. Qiuzhen looked back. Passengers queuing behind it turned out to be more and more. In the middle of the city, it was rush hour. If they were on the city's outskirts, it would probably be quieter.

About ten minutes later, the next bus arrived at stop number eight. That person and many other passengers, including Qiuzhen, quickly boarded it. Unlike the bus that Qiuzhen had taken before, which was relatively not too full, so everyone could sit, this bus was very crowded. The tall man in the black hat got a seat, but Qiuzhen and many other passengers had to stand up. Once again, Qiuzhen was grateful that he had eaten earlier. If not, he could limp if he had to stand for a long time.

In general, the trip was smooth. Of course, at busy times like that, the traffic was hefty. So, in some sections of the road, the buses ran sluggishly. In some areas of the city, traffic was terrible during rush hour. Qiuzhen tried to keep an eye on the person without being conspicuous. He had never had any training on trailing people, so he didn't really know if he had made it this far. He didn't know the person he was following was aware or not that he was being followed.

Suddenly, the person stood up. Just like before, it seemed that luck was still on Qiuzhen's side. Many other passengers were also preparing to disembark. Qiuzhen, who will also get off the vehicle at that place, would definitely not be conspicuous. The next stop turned out to be next to the entrance of an underground station. It was natural that many people got off at this stop.

The man in the black hat came down and was followed by many others, including Qiuzhen. More than half of the people who got off soon headed for the subway station entrance. The day was a bit cloudy. The temperature was a little cold. Luckily, Qiuzhen was wearing a thick jacket. Besides being useful for disguise, it also protects his body from the cold.

They went underground. The subway station was quite significant because it served three subway lines. Looking at the floor plan plastered there, Qiuzhen realized that one of the train lines passed the subway station close to their house, namely Zhonghang subway station. The man did not enter the platform. He sat on a bench in the waiting area, which was the area before people entered the platform. If that person wanted to get on the train without delay, he would enter the platform and sit on the bench there. It meant there was something else he wanted to do.

He sat there for a long time. Qiuzhen didn't know what that person's true intention was. It had crossed his mind that he had been caught, and that person was only testing him. After a while, the man in the black hat looked at his watch. Qiuzhen had to act lightning fast. According to his suspicion, the person was waiting for someone else. So he couldn't possibly get onto the platform right away.

Qiuzhen was fully aware that he might be wrong. But this time, he had to bet. Qiuzhen turned around. He entered the mall in the subway station. Just like before, he also bought a new set of clothes. After changing clothes in the nearby toilet, Qiuzhen headed to the storage locker to drop off the clothes he had worn earlier. As quickly as possible, Qiuzhen rushed back to the waiting area where the person was sitting.

Arriving at that place, Qiuzhen did not see the person he was looking for. Qiuzhen panicked. He had to act fast. After he bought the ticket, Qiuzhen rushed onto the platform. Arriving on the platform, Qiuzhen glanced around while still trying not to attract the surrounding people's attention. Qiuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. The person he was following was standing at the platform's front end. That person would definitely get on the first car when the train arrived. Qiuzhen chose to sit on the bench closest to where he was standing. He wanted to watch from a distance. Later, when the train came and the person got on, Qiuzhen would also get on the train. After that, he would walk across from the car where he boarded to the first car.

The train was coming. And Qiuzhen's guess wasn't wrong at all. The man got into the first car. Qiuzhen straightway lunged into the car in front of him. As planned, he walked towards the first car. He didn't want to walk too fast because it would look unnatural. The number of passengers was quite full, so it took quite a bit of time to get to the first car. When Qiuzhen arrived at the first car, it turned out that the train had already arrived at the next station. The distance between these two stations was not far.

Qiuzhen saw the person in the black hat preparing to get off the car. Qiuzhen gasped. He felt that the person wearing a black hat had really caught him at that moment. Maybe that person was toying with him. However, everything was abysmal. Qiuzhen still had to continue with his plan. He stood behind the man to prepare to get off the car. At that station, both sides of the door equally function for the entrance of passengers who will get on and off. When the train had stopped, the person who was already standing in front of the door stepped down to the platform righ away. Qiuzhen also jumped out in a flash. He intended to move his feet more slowly.

Without further ado, Qiuzhen moved away from the side of the platform that was near the rails. He kept walking forward. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the figure of a person standing in front of the door of car number seven. That person was obviously going to get on the train. He turned around briefly to wave to his friend, who wasn't on the train. After waving his hand, he turned back towards the car door and immediately got into the car.

The person who was getting into the car was not a stranger at all. Qiuzhen knew that person very well. That person was Zhengyi. One friend he had followed. But that person's friend, who didn't get on the train, wasn't Xinxiu. Qiuzhen didn't see Xinxiu there. He could only guess that Xinxiu had already entered the train before Zhengyi, so Qiuzhen didn't get to see him.

Qiuzhen froze for a moment. A bit nervous, he shuffled to sit on the bench there. Qiuzhen pretended to read a magazine. At that time, Qiuzhen completely forgot about the existence of the person he was following, namely the person wearing a black hat. The focus of his attention was only Zhengyi and Zhengyi's friends, whom Qiuzhen didn't know.

As the train started to move, Qiuzhen saw Zhengyi waving from behind the window to his friend, who was still standing on the platform. The person was still standing there until the car that Zhengyi was riding was out of sight. Someone then came closer to that person. The man was tall. He wore a fancy suit and wore a black hat.

It was a big surprise for Qiuzhen. The person who had been followed by Qiuzhen was now walking towards Zhengyi's friend. They both seem to know each other.

"What do you think?" The tall person who recently got off the car stared intently at Zhengyi's friend.

"They don't know anything." Zhengyi's friend's voice was so firm. After nodding respectfully, he walked away from the platform.
