After a few seconds, Anna nodded to Li Lu and said, "Thank you. This information is very helpful to me. I will consider it carefully."

"However, I really didn't expect that you would reveal the information to me without interrogation. Now it seems that you have understood it. We are on the same side."

Seeing and saying this, Li Lu couldn't help but clench her back teeth together, and the scars from her previous torture suddenly began to ache slightly.

If she was alone, she would fight this woman to the death even at the cost of her life, but now it is different, she has a child.

When a mother has a child, the child's life is far more important than her own life. It can be said to be the biological instinct of motherhood, but at least for now, Li Lu cannot resist.

Li Lu took a deep breath, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you curious about what's going on with your child? Why can he speak right after he's born, and can even communicate with me in a special language?"

Anna's words were like a spell that instantly froze her in place.

"Don't you want to ask something? I'm already prepared and waiting for you to ask." Anna stood up with a smile and took a step forward, but Li Lu took a step back.

"Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? There are some things that are useless to be afraid of. You must face them bravely." The faster Anna walked, the faster Li Lu retreated.

When she saw Anna slowly open her mouth as if she wanted to say something, she finally turned around and left Anna's door in a panic.

Li Lu leaned against the door, covering her chest with one hand and breathing rapidly. She felt scared for the first time even though she had never been afraid of death.

She was afraid of learning from that crazy woman something far more terrible than death, and afraid that those words would take her child away.

After calming down a little, Li Lu took a deep breath and turned the doorknob.

The first thing she saw after opening the door was Tuba, with an angry expression, holding the chessboard above his head with both hands and walking back and forth on the table, shaking it violently.

"Ahh!" The chessboard fell heavily in front of the clown mask, "You must have cheated! How come you always win!!"

The clown crossed his legs and shrugged slightly.

"How dare you quibble! You are so dishonest. I won't play with you anymore!"

Li Lu walked over quickly, carefully stretched out her hands, passed them under his armpits and held him in her arms.

"Be good, baby, listen to your mother. Your body is not fit to walk yet. Can you wait until you are a little older?"

Tuba struggled in frustration, "Don't hug me! Let me check that guy's clothes. He must have cheated in chess."

"Baby!" Li Lu's voice suddenly became so high that it broke, and tears couldn't help but flow down her face.

She pleaded in an almost begging tone: "Mom, please, can you do something a baby should do?"

When Li Lu's tears dripped onto Tuba's face, he gradually calmed down from struggling. "I'm hungry."

Li Lu turned around and undressed herself with her back to the clown.

Seeing Tuba sucking so cutely, Li Lu's heart melted. She lowered her head and gently touched Tuba's soft head with her forehead.

"Don't worry, my child. I will do everything I can to protect you. As long as your mother is here, no one can hurt you."

When Tuba heard this, his brows slightly frowned and he shrank closer to Li Lu's arms.

As time passed, Anna settled down temporarily in this coastal city.

Now that the IMF is looking for them, Anna is unable to recruit believers in a high-profile manner. There is very little she can do now.

She also tried to find some organizations that might be against the IMF, but without any special channels, she did not get any results, at least not on the Internet.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Anna, wearing a mask and sunglasses, walked silently on the street holding Tuba, keeping the entire city plan in mind.

If the IMF pursues you, preparing now can increase your chances of escape.

Sometimes it's too late to do something until it really needs to be done.

"Ha~ Why are you running around the streets so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"

Tuba, who was in Anna's arms, rubbed his eyes and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"I brought you out because I was afraid you would get sick from holding it in. Even if you're a baby, it's good for your health to get out in the sun."

Of course, this was just Anna's nonsense. The main reason she brought Tuba out was to use him as an alarm.

Since he can predict the future, just keep him by your side. If there is any crisis, Tuba might be useful.

At this moment, Anna suddenly felt that Tuba in her arms was a little stiff, and his thin fingers stretched out from the swaddling clothes and pointed to the street on the right. "Hey! Look what that is!"

Anna immediately became nervous and looked over there, only to see that it was just an ordinary baby supplies store. Behind a transparent glass cabinet were cans of purchased milk powder in different packages.

"Did you see that red can? The TV commercial said it tastes amazing, go buy me two cans!!"

Anna's eyes twitched, and she was about to leave without saying anything.

"Buy it for me! I have to tell you, my stomach is not very good right now, and I don't even wear diapers. If you don't buy me some milk powder, believe it or not, I will help you."

To be honest, Anna really wanted to throw Tuba to the ground and go back directly.

I don't know if it's because of his health, but except when he's talking about serious matters, his personality is like that of a child. He means what he says.

But in order to stop Tuba from making trouble, Anna finally went into the store. When she came out, she was holding a bag filled with a bucket of high-end milk powder.

The price of milk powder is not low. Fortunately, before getting off the plane, I stole the cash of everyone on the plane to support these expenses.

"Hehehe~" Tuba hugged the tin milk powder can with his limbs and laughed.

Anna was just about to continue walking forward when a car following her in the left lane made her alert.

"What's going on? People from the IMF? Or are they enemies of those guys who died earlier? Didn't Wang Jiansheng say that he had already dealt with them? Other than that, I don't think I have any enemies in China."

The black car slowly stopped, the door opened, and an unexpected person walked out.

That was Zhou Tao, the young policeman who brought Anna to the police station for questioning on her first day on the surface.

He was wearing casual clothes today and driving his own car, so it looked like he was not at work.
