Jiek seemed to be tracking someone.
He moved in stops and starts, frequently using obstacles for cover, but his tracking skills were hardly exceptional.
He had pulled up his overcoat's collar high and wore a uniquely designed pair of wind goggles, covering most of his face. Su Lun recognized them as the wind gear he had given to Jiek before from an inflatable life raft, confirming his identity.
Only when Su Lun noticed his limping gait did he realize the man had lost a leg. Footprints on the ground alternated between a full imprint and a round hole. Upon closer inspection, he saw that Jiek's left leg was replaced with a wooden peg-leg prosthesis.
At this, Su Lun felt a twinge of confusion.
How had a wealthy family's young master suddenly lost his leg?
Since it was on his way, Su Lun followed for a few steps and glanced at the people ahead. With a slight discernment, he immediately recognized whom Jiek was tailing.
