Yun Ruge is well aware of Ou Bojun’s habits. He often speaks about gentlemanly priorities, like the phrase dies first,” in her presence, but deep down, she knows he’s just trying to protect his own interests.


    Yun Ruge had no intention of engaging in conversation with him or owing him any favors. If he wanted to inspect the line of Xiao’s cavalry guards, he could do so without her involvement. She saw this as a chance to explore and learn instead.


    Turning to Ou Bojun, she said, “Since Uncle Russell has decided on Xiao Qiwei (Bertrand), let’s stay here and wish you luck.” With that, she prepared to open the door and step out of the vehicle.


    Ou Bojun quickly interjected, “Uncle Nakul, there’s no way to go from here—no path to the vige, no shops behind us. Why get off the car here? Why don’t we go to Bergen together? I’ll look for clues at Bergen Airport while you check the port. The British Lord suspects Lin Waner (ni) might have left by boat, so you may find something by investigating the port.”


    Ignoring his pleas, Yun Ruge opened the door and stepped out, casually sweeping her long, flowing hair aside. She chuckled, “Checking the port for a ship’s whereabouts is not the same as tracking down a fish’s movements. What a clever idea!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    She continued with a smile, “I don’t have any brilliant ideas; I just think that since Lin Wan’er (ni) vanished from here, there might be some clues nearby. I’ll find a small hotel to stay in for a few days. Since Uncle Russell is heading for Bergen, you should hurry and leave—don’t waste time here.”


    Ou Bojun, feeling resigned, replied, “Alright, I’ll head to Bergen Airport to search for clues. The ne carrying Xiao Qiwei (Bertrand) went directly there. I n to trace back from Bergen Airport to see what Xiao Qiwei (Bertrand) encountered along the way. If Uncle Nakul doesn’t leave Bergen soon, we can still spend a few days together.”


    Yun Ruge responded earnestly, “I really don’t rmend you spend too much time in Bergen. Why not travel to Cyprus to speak with the families of those Xiaoqiguards (Bickford guards) and gather information?”


    “Don’t worry,” Ou Bojun reassured her. He understood that Yun Ruge preferred not to have too much contact with him, but he wanted to take the opportunity to stay close to her for a few more days. “I believe the Xiao Qiwei (Bertrand) that arrived in Bergenst time shouldn’t have had any issues itself. It’s likely that the enemy discovered them early on, leading to the entire army’s downfall, much like what happened in New York. Therefore, there should still be more clues here, and heading to Cyprus might not yield much.”


    Yun Ruge shrugged, thinking to herself, “It’s not every day I have such a stretch of free time. Why is he clinging to me like a stubborn adhesive? Wouldn’t it be better for both of us to part ways and pursue our own paths? I n to go my own way and explore Eastern Europe; what’s keeping you here?”


    Even though Yun Ruge was not fond of Ou Bojun, she realized that since he did not intend to leave Northern Europe anytime soon, she would have to temporarily adapt to the situation. She understood Ou Bojun’s character very well; if he learned that she left Northern Europe abruptly, he might report her to the Lord, iming she was being dismissive, and it wouldn’t be worth the trouble if it led to offending the Lord for no reason.<fn0123> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n f?ndnovel</fn0123>
