Chapter 984

Harchi scratched his head. "I think they're here to find someone. I don't know the specifics either.

Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

We looked at each other and were a little doubtful. It was reasonable to say that after crossing over

so many mountains, we should be very far from the place we escaped from. If the cops were here

to look for us, they would not have arrived so soon.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing the worried look on our faces, Harchi asked curiously.

Not wanting to attract unnecessary trouble for Harchi, we shook our heads in unison. "Nothing."

Shannon was a warier and distrustful person, hence she suggested, "We should be careful. Even if

we can't go home right now, we can't fall into the hands of bad guys either. I suggest we keep

moving. We have a high chance of meeting our own people when we get to the city. If that doesn’t

work either, then we can always go to the embassy."

After making the decision, we bade farewell to Harchi and Hara. We got prepared to continue on our

journey.

However, before we could walk out, we heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Holly was a little nervous, clutching at my sleeve and asking, "What should we do now?"

I said, "Let’s observe first."

Shannon and I looked at each other and walked out the door together.

Harchi's house was merely a small earth-sheltered house, hence it was not possible to hide six

people. Besides, if the comer was here with ulterior motives, then they might hurt Harchi and Hara

after learning that they had taken us in. That was something we did not wish to happen.

After walking out to the yard, we saw several men dressed in police uniforms.

"Do they look like cops?” Shannon leaned closer to my ear and whispered.

I shook my head. "I can’t tell."

Harchi walked up to the policemen to speak to them. Due to the language barrier, we had no clue

what they were talking about at all.

When they were done talking, the leader looked at us and asked us a question. Seeing that we did

not reply and were merely staring blankly at him, he confirmed that we did not speak their language.

Therefore, he looked at the man beside him. The man looked at us and asked, "Are you illegal

immigrants?"

Shannon twitched her mouth. “We're not illegal

immigrants. We fled here."

The man frowned slightly and looked at the leader, saying a few words. The leader pointed at us,

probably asking him to translate his questions for us.

After some time, we finally understood a little of what was going on. It turned out that someone had

approached the police to make a missing person report. They said that the person who made the

report did not look like a bad guy but more like our family member.

Shannon looked at us and asked, "Which one of your families are so capable that they were

actually able to contact the cops here?"

Nina replied a little unsurely, "My dad is capable of doing that, but he probably has no idea that I’ve

gone missing because we don’t often keep in touch."

Holly said with a smile, "Not my family, that's for sure. My parents are both ordinary people."

Thaddea shook her head. "Not my parents either.”

Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Dazaray. She was stunned for a moment, then said, "It’s

probably a blessing from God." 1
