The next morning, Qi Ran was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.

Ines went over to open the door.

Two adult men, dressed in matching outfits, stood outside the door.

One person was holding a survey book in one hand, while the other had his hands in his pockets.

"Hello, my name is Fan Sinian, and this is my partner Luo Yun. We are investigators sent by the Hunter Organization to verify your encounter with the Blood Bamboo."

"Ah...oh, please come in." Ines stepped aside and invited him in.

Luo Yun followed Fan Sinian, looking around the room. It was clear that the house had just been furnished.

"Please have a seat, both of you," Ines said, gesturing for two glasses of water to be placed on the sofa. He then sat down opposite Ines.

Fan Sinian opened the files and checked Ines's case.

"We received a report from your company yesterday. Given that you were captured by the vampires, we need to record this in detail and will send people to investigate the area later." After explaining, Fan Sinian began to ask the first question.

"Mr. Ines, may I ask where you encountered the vampires, and could you describe their appearance...?"

Luo Yun noticed someone in the kitchen, went over to take a look, and saw a very handsome young man simmering soup.

"Hello," Luo Yun greeted him. "What smells so good?"

"The winter melon and pork rib soup will be ready soon. Have you two eaten yet? If not, would you like to stay and have dinner with us?"

Luo Yun looked at the pot of steaming pork rib soup. Although she really wanted to eat it, she shook her head out of politeness.

"No, no."

Qi Ran smiled and, without further ado, asked, "Sir, who are you?"

"My name is Luo Yun. My partner is currently discussing the case with Mr. Ines. The vampires in this area have been extremely rampant lately, so you should also be careful."

"Mm." Qi Ran nodded.

Luo Yun returned to the living room, looked around at the furnishings to make sure there were no problems, and then sat down on the sofa.

Fan Sinian glanced at him, and the latter nodded. The two stood up in unison.

Fan Sinian said, "If there are any further questions, please be sure to contact us."

Ines took the business card from Fan Sinian and saw the two out.

In the hallway, Luo Yun asked Fan Sinian:

"Was he bitten?"

"There's nothing on the neck or hands, but we still need to keep a close watch on them for the next few days. People who get bitten usually become vampires within three days. As long as there are no problems in the next few days, we don't need to keep an eye on them anymore."

"Sigh..." Luo Yun sighed, put his hands behind his head, and walked away as if he didn't recognize anyone.

Seeing that he was acting unseriously, Fan Sinian slapped him on the back of the head with the notebook.

"Don't walk like a gangster."

"You're being nosy."

"Still talking back? Do you believe I'll tell Luo Song?"

Upon hearing his younger brother's name, Luo Yun immediately surrendered.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. You keep threatening me with my brother."

"Ah Song told me to keep a close eye on you and not let you go astray." Fan Sinian rolled his eyes at him, annoyed.

Luo Yun pursed his lips; naturally, his younger brother was the one he feared most.

Luo Yun and her younger brother are twins.

However, Luo Yun was always afraid of his serious younger brother, who had been in poor health since childhood and often had to be hospitalized for treatment.

Luo Yun was always afraid of making her younger brother angry, so she was always very careful in everything she did.

If my younger brother finds out that he's in West Bromwich Albion and isn't listening to Fan Sinian, he'll probably scold him again when we get back.

The two went downstairs, got back into the car, and didn't leave immediately.

Fan Sinian rolled down the car window, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke while leaning against the window.

Luo Yun munched on a pineapple bun, glancing occasionally at the messages in the hunters' group.

"Wow, Si Nian, someone in the group hunted down a high-level vampire! That's fucking awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Sinian also checked his phone and saw that there was indeed a message trending.

However, he remained calm and didn't seem to care much, unlike Luo Yun who was so excited.

His mind was now filled with thoughts of that man named Ines.

Luo Yun was worried that the other person had already been infected.

The two were commissioned by the organization to take on this observation mission. The mission was not difficult, the pay was low, and the time was long, but overall it was safe and there was no danger to their lives.

The higher the level of the mission, the greater the danger and the more vampires you will encounter. A slight mistake could lead to an accident.

Fan Sinian did not want to take Luo Yun on dangerous missions; during this period, they were responsible for observation missions.

The task pay was low, but it was still several times higher than domestic wages.

"Si Nian, why are you unhappy?"

"What's there to be happy about? Make money quickly so we can go back to China." Fan Sinian didn't have any good thoughts about this place.

West Bromwich Albion, the country with the most vampires.

Hell for humans.

People go missing every day.

The cases in the Hunter Organization are almost endless.

Similarly, hunters are killed every day.

The higher the reward, the more people will risk their lives.

West Bromwich Albion's management believed that as long as enough money was offered, all sorts of outlaws would flock from all over the world.

Mercenaries, amateurs, assassins, ordinary people, escaped criminals—anyone who becomes a hunter acquires a new identity.

Luo Yun rolled her eyes, ate the last bite of the pineapple bun, leaned back in her chair, and covered her face with a newspaper.

"I'm going to take a nap."

"Hmm." Fan Sinian hummed softly.

After an unknown amount of time, Fan Sinian flipped through the newspaper three times, glancing up at the building through the car window.

I got out of the car, went to a nearby store, bought two iced drinks, opened the car door, got in, and shook Luo Yun awake.

"What happened? What happened? Did it mutate?"

The latter was completely confused.

Fan Sinian tossed a can of soda in front of him, saying, "This is for you."

Luo Yun took the soda, his fingertips trembling from the cold, "Hiss..."

But he was indeed thirsty, so he opened the can, held the bottle in his mouth, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

The two men parked their car under a tree and hid inside, crouching there from morning until afternoon. They even saw the young man named Qi Ran go to the supermarket and come back.

Luo Yun couldn't hold on any longer. "Si Nian, it seems he really isn't infected. Let's go."

That's true, Fan Sinian didn't refute.

On the first day, they conducted a long period of observation.

The next day, you only need to visit them once to confirm that both of them are still there.

The third day was also the last visit.

On the third day, Fan Sinian and Luo Yun arrived early in the morning to pay their respects. Qi Ran opened the door, and Fan Sinian and Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the mission was over and they could go back to report.

"Please come in and have a seat," Qi Ran said, inviting them in.

"No need, Mr. Qi. Today is our last day of visiting. Seeing that you two are alright, we'll head back now." Fan Sinian closed his notebook and left with Luo Yun.

Qi Ran watched the two leave, then went inside and closed the door.

Ines was still snuggled in bed, sleeping in late, while Qi Ran went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
