Chapter 1642: 1641 Red Maple Leaf
“Ina, I’m leaving first. If you want to stay in the palace, then stay a little longer, and I’ll come back to find you tonight,” Tan Rou said anxiously, “No wait, I won’t be able to find you. Come and find me instead; I think you should know where I’m staying now.”
Ina nodded, “Yes, I know where Sister Tan Rou stays. Sister Tan Rou, go do your thing; I’ll wait for you here.”
Tan Rou hurriedly walked outside, then halfway through, she ran back and gave the last piece of candy she had on her to Ina, “This is the last candy I have. I’ll bring you more next time we meet.”
Ina was very happy. “Thank you, Sister Tan Rou.”
Tan Rou patted her head gently and said, “Goodbye.”
Ina waved softly, “Goodbye, Sister Tan Rou.”
After Tan Rou left, Ina stared at the spot where she had disappeared until Tan Rou was completely out of sight, then Ina whispered, “Sister Tan Rou, I really want to stay in the princess’s room you mentioned for a few days and also visit your country with you, but I don’t have time anymore. Sister Tan Rou, Ina needs to do her own things now.”
A breeze blew, and the girl by the lake, holding the candy in her hand, quietly left.
Tan Rou told Samiyi the clues she had got from Ina, and Samiyi immediately arranged for some people to investigate at 107 Red Maple Street.
Tan Rou also wanted to go, but Samiyi initially disagreed because her injuries hadn’t healed, and meeting someone from the Dawn Society might be dangerous.
Tan Rou said she wouldn’t conflict with the Dawn Society, she would just watch from the back, and let Samiyi’s men do the charging. Finally, after her repeated requests, Samiyi agreed to let Tan Rou go with them.
Red Maple Street, true to its name, had many maple trees. However, it was summer, so the maple leaves weren’t red yet.
The guard in charge of protecting Tan Rou was from the guard squad, which had six people, with the squad leader named Tuoray, a strong man over one meter ninety tall.
“Miss Tan Rou, after getting off the car, stay behind us, and we will take care of charging forward,” Tuoray instructed Tan Rou.
Tan Rou nodded, “You also have to be careful, the people from the Dawn Society are very vicious. If you encounter purple-skinned monsters inside, retreat quickly, because those monsters are extremely dangerous and it’s hard to subdue them.”
Tuoray responded, “Okay, we will be careful.”
The car continued to drive forward, and Tan Rou kept observing the surroundings; it was actually quite beautiful here, with many green-leaf maple trees, but they were quite short and not as tall as the maple trees back home.
“Why are there so many maple trees here?” Tan Rou asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Tuoray actually knew the origin of these maple trees. “Originally, there were no maple trees here because they are not native to our country, so all these maple trees are from abroad. After leaving their native place, the maple trees don’t grow tall or turn red, and most of them are orange-yellow. It should have been about fifteen years ago, a foreign botanist discovered the maple trees here, felt they weren’t beautiful enough, and then began researching the maple trees growing here.”
“He was incredible, within just two years, he had developed a medication that could turn the maple leaves red, and afterward, the maple leaves here turned bright red, so people renamed this street to Red Maple Street,” Tuoray said somewhat regretfully, “However, the soil here isn’t suited for maple trees’ growth, they still don’t grow tall.”
Tan Rou thought making the maple leaves turn red was already quite amazing, “I really want to meet this scientist.”
Tuoray said, “I guess you won’t get to meet this scientist, as he passed away many years ago, said to have died from poisoning by medication. Probably he accidentally poisoned himself while researching the medication.”
“That’s really too bad!” Tan Rou sighed.
The car slowly moved forward, and when they were close to 107 Red Maple Street, Tuoray asked the driver to stop.
“Miss Tan Rou, wait in the car while we go down to scout ahead,” Tuoray said. “If there’s no danger, we’ll call you to come over.”
Tan Rou replied, “Okay, be careful.”
The guards took their guns and went down, and to avoid disturbing others, they all changed into plain clothes.
