Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Just as he was thinking this, a young couple walked into the training center.

...

Li Younan watched with great interest the rock climbing enthusiasts training in the venue.

For Li Younan, everyone present, including a few coaches, their movements or the choice of climbing routes, could all be summed up with the word ”clumsy” in his eyes.

Of course, this did not necessarily mean that these people were really poor; it was simply because Li Younan’s level was exceptionally high.

It was as if Liszt, the piano demon, suddenly ran into a music training institution; any teacher playing the piano would seem like a child playing with toys to him; it was the same principle.

Li Younan’s current rock climbing skill was at level two. In a way, this level of rock climbing skill was internationally top-notch.

All the routes, beginner or advanced, in this facility were no different from flat ground to Li Younan.

While thinking this, Zhu Qingyue was already heading towards Coach Luo, whom she had compared several times.

Luo Yong was the leader who had teamed up with Zhu Qingyue’s aunt during the accident last time.

Clubs that challenge extremely difficult climbing like theirs would not invite truly inexperienced novices to join their teams.

From this point of view, at least Zhu Qingyue’s aunt had earned their approval.

At this moment, Zhu Qingyue walked directly to Luo Yong, her first words being: ”You are Coach Luo, right? We talked online.”

Luo Yong nodded, his tone quite calm: ”You said that Lin Zuofang is your aunt, right?”

Zhu Qingyue nodded, then straightforwardly said: ”I’m here this time for one thing, to trouble you. I want to know the details of when my aunt went missing.”

Luo Yong sighed and didn’t directly answer Zhu Qingyue. Instead, he asked her, ”I need to know, what is your purpose for understanding this?”

Upon hearing this question, Li Younan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Because from any angle, as the family member of someone missing, Zhu Qingyue enquiring about the situation should be a reasonable request.

Could there be a purpose that would make him choose not to tell Zhu Qingyue the details?

Zhu Qingyue also frowned and said: ”Does my purpose matter?”

Luo Yong nodded very seriously: ”It matters a lot.”

He said earnestly, ”This matter involves not only your aunt but also another missing person. I’ve already discussed the relevant situation with the local police; I have no obligation to tell you anything. You can also directly ask the police if you want to know.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyue suddenly understood something.

Before coming, her family naturally kept in contact with the local police and had thoroughly understood the situation.

Simply put, a significant reason her aunt went missing was that she went down early to take care of an injured female traveler.

Looking at Luo Yong’s somewhat solemn expression, as if he had to take on some responsibility, Zhu Qingyue suddenly understood something.

Was he afraid that she might trouble that injured female traveler?

That was probably the reason.

To ease Luo Yong’s concerns, Zhu Qingyue quickly said: ”Coach Luo, I roughly know what you are worried about. I just purely want to know about my aunt’s situation, and it’s unrelated to others.”

Zhu Qingyue’s words hit Luo Yong’s concerns. For him, the thing he regretted most that day was letting those two girls go down first.

They weren’t strictly a team, just a temporary grouping, so they weren’t particularly familiar with each other.

The girl was injured, sprained her ankle badly, and needed to withdraw early with someone accompanying her.

But it didn’t necessarily have to be Lin Zuofang.

At that time, he also knew that Lin Zuofang had been preparing for that trek for a long time. To be honest, under any circumstance, a male should have accompanied the girl down.

But Lin Zuofang volunteered at that time, considering that they weren’t really familiar, and perhaps it was more convenient for a girl to accompany - they already needed a day and night’s journey to return from their position.

His guilt lay in this; if he had been firmer at that time and let a male take on this task, perhaps the outcome would have been somewhat different.

This wasn’t sexism; women are naturally weaker than men in battling nature.

If Zhu Qingyue’s purpose in coming was to blame that girl and cause trouble... it was something he didn’t want to see, something he had been wary of.

But hearing Zhu Qingyue say this, he wavered again.

Luo Yong fell silent for a moment, then slowly stood up: ”What do you want to know?” he asked.

Zhu Qingyue said: ”I want to know the route you took into the mountains, and the location of the separation...”

Luo Yong asked in confusion: ”Why do you want to know this?”

Zhu Qingyue hesitated for a moment, her gaze becoming somewhat resolute, and said seriously: ”I... I want to go and see the places my aunt walked... and the last scenery she saw.”

Luo Yong’s eyelid twitched; an expression more akin to a laugh mixed with tears flashed by, followed by a bitter smile. He shook his head.

If that’s the reason...

He glanced at Zhu Qingyue and said: ”Forget it, I can’t tell you these details, that would be harming you.”
