“Oh, right.” Jean had nearly forgotten–this guy rarely showed his face in public and was still hiding out in the art building at Stellarford Academy, keeping a low profile.
Waltzing around town together for a meal would definitely raise eyebrows.
Jean pressed her lips together, clearly torn. “We’ll save it for another time. I just felt like… I’ve asked you for help so many times, I should at least treat you to something.”
Ludwig gave a faint smile. “I appreciate the thought.”
He reached out and lightly patted Jean on the shoulder. “So, tell me what you called me out here for.”
Jean grinned mysteriously. “We’re going to catch someone.”
A moment later, she was back on the back of Ludwig’s motorcycle.

Wearing a helmet, she huddled behind him as they sped through city streets, the roar of the engine in her ears and the cold wind whipping past. They weaved through the bustling district until finally, the motorcycle came to a stop in front of a modest–looking school.
“We’re here.”
Ludwig got off first, then reached out to help Jean down.
“The person you’re after is here?”
He lifted his gaze, giving the school gate a casual once–over.
It was an ordinary middle school–completely unremarkable.
Jean removed her helmet and nodded. “Yeah, he’s here. But we’ll need to wait a bit.”
So they headed to the milk tea shop across the street.
Since Ludwig only showed his face around Jean, he had to wear a black mask to hide his identity in public.
“You really don’t want anything?” Jean ordered a cup for herself, but still asked him.
Ludwig shook his head calmly. “I’m wearing a mask. I can’t exactly drink anything like this.”
Jean chuckled. “Oh well, guess I’ll just have to drink it for you.”
They sat side by side by the shop’s large floor–to–ceiling window, watching the cars and people flow past on the street outside.
It was a rare moment of peace.
Jean savored the brief tranquility, casually chatting with Ludwig about this and that.

She quickly got up from her seat and strode out of the milk tea shop. Ludwig said nothing, silently following behind her.
Jean’s sharp gaze swept over the crowd of students streaming out of the school. She squinted slightly, scanning for something.
It didn’t take long for her eyes to light up.
A boy in black had broken away from the pack, walking alone toward a nearby alleyway.
That boy was the one who lived in the alley off Tri Street–the potential witness.
The surveillance footage route had already been blocked off. No matter how much she and Jolene dug there, they wouldn’t find anything else.
So now, she was turning her attention to this kid.
Even if there was a good chance Thomas had already bought him off, Jean wasn’t about to give up such a rare lead.
You don’t know unless you try.
Jolene had already dug up the boy’s basic information, including his name and school. That was why Jean had come here today–to intercept him.
She trailed him carefully, walking briskly in the same direction.
Ludwig, of course, noticed she was following a stranger.
But he didn’t ask a single question–he simply followed her in silence.
