"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

As the conversation between the mother and daughter fell into silence, Yuko Uesugi hurriedly ran from the teaching building.

She had beads of sweat on her forehead, and as she moved, they occasionally rolled down her cheeks, wetting the collar of her school uniform.

"We didn't wait long, just wipe off the sweat."

Koga Shie kindly greeted her and bent down to take out a tissue from her bag to help Yuki wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"You came out so quickly. How hard were you working to clean?"

Mizuo followed them and saw Yuki, who was all sweaty. Concerned, her eyebrows furrowed.

"It's nothing. I just thought of you two waiting outside for me and felt that I couldn't be slow... hehe."

Surrounded by the care of the Koga mother and daughter, Yuki smiled sheepishly. This smile infected the mother and daughter who were feeling down earlier, and they both smiled unconsciously.

"Let's go, let's go back home!"

"Yeah!" "Let's go!"

Yuki's timely participation livened up the atmosphere. The three of them happily chatted and discussed topics among girls as they walked home.

In the eyes of bystanders, the three of them were simply a loving family seen everywhere.

Behind this family, there was a seemingly ordinary man who was neither too close nor too far and followed behind them at a moderate pace.

From the perspective of passersby, this man's words and actions were very natural. No matter who saw him, they would only think of him as an unrelated passerby and not associate him with surveillance.

Only those who were in God's viewing mode knew that this was an inoffensive follower.

This man, tall and thin, in his thirties, approximately 1.8 meters tall, with a weight of around 60 kilograms, was slender like a lance. At this moment, he was wearing seasonal casual clothes purchased from a cheap store, stepping on a pair of sneakers from a small brand, and had earphones in his ears without listening to music. It was just a disguise.

His name was Aziz, also known as Wolf Spider, serving under Bai Yaxin, a professional assassin.

In his pants pocket, there used to be two photos corresponding to Koga Shie and Koga Mizuo.

But now, these two photos had been destroyed by the Wolf Spider because he had already seen and remembered their appearances, so there was no need to keep unnecessary evidence.

Today was the third time that the Wolf Spider had followed the mother and daughter back home from school. Just like the previous two times, he perfectly hid his presence and went unnoticed.

The Wolf Spider's goal was to assassinate the mother and daughter while making the crime scene appear to be an accident, not a murder identified by the police.

Therefore, he carefully observed and studied the behavior patterns of the targeted mother and daughter, the surrounding terrain, and various time-related factors... construction sites, exposed gas pipelines, blind corners in the carriageway with poor visibility... With his wealth of experience, he searched for any details that could be utilized.

—The plan still needs further consideration…

Being extremely cautious, he did not rush to execute the assassination plan. There were still four days left until Bai Yaxin's deadline, and there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

So, after entering a straight and narrow road, the Wolf Spider stopped following and left.

Just as the Wolf Spider finished tailing and left, Yuki Uesugi, who was walking naturally, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong, Yuki? Do you need to use the bathroom?"

Koga Mizuo had no idea why Yuki stopped, so she joked as usual.

"Not at all! It's just that since a while ago, I felt something, and it suddenly disappeared. I'm just a little intrigued."

As Yuki spoke, she looked around but didn't find anything.

"Oh, is it your 'woman's intuition' again? Let's just go home."

Since Yuki often acted this way, Mizuo didn't pay much attention and pushed Yuki's back to continue walking.

Only Koga Shie, as a mother, stayed in place for a few seconds before catching up with the two children's footsteps.

Koga Shie didn't notice anything, but for her, who had a difficult time embracing her role as a mother, the recent actions of her daughter and Yuki's behavior just now were details that couldn't be ignored.

- If only there was someone to discuss what to do.
