Thus, while surveilling Rong Miao, Shu Guan mostly relied on his exceptional vision and hearing, observing from a distance.
Most of the time, this method worked for Shu Guan, but there were times when he had no choice but to get closer.
...
The first accidental encounter with Rong Miao happened in a restaurant.
It was a restaurant located within the Falan Empire concession, called Jasmine Western Restaurant, a famous Western-style restaurant in the whole Jing City.
One day, Rong Miao and her friends arranged to have lunch there.
Shu Guan followed her to the outside of the restaurant and found, through the decorative floor-to-ceiling glass, that there were many guests inside. However, Rong Miao and her friends' seating area was just out of sight, unable to be seen from any angle outside the restaurant.
Moreover, because of the noisy crowd, Shu Guan found it difficult to discern any particular voices to pay attention to.
