Nina pulled John's arm. "I want a box of sweet popcorn, please."
"Okay, wait a minute," John answered, walking over to the popcorn machine.
Looking at his tall and straight back, Nina felt a sense of satisfaction.
Seeing her so happy made Noah feel like he had finally done something worthwhile before he had to leave C Island.
"Nini, I'm going to the airport," Noah said. "You must take good care of yourself."
"Oh, you're leaving today. I almost forgot." Nina glanced at him apologetically. Then she reached into her pocket to take out a small square box and handed it to him. "I've got a gift for you."
"A gift for me?" Noah was overjoyed. He opened the box and saw a watch sitting handsomely inside. "A watch?"
"It's not just an ordinary watch," Nina said. "The watch is specially modified for you. It can be used as a computer, a camera, a U disk and so on. The manual is at the bottom of the box. You can study it properly when you get back.
Besides, it has quite an incredible feature. If you are able to, you can add everyone's information on it. So when you're doing investigations, you can have easy access to all this. All you need to do is a face scan and the information will pop up."
Nina was quite proud of herself in all honesty. This was probably the best watch she had modified. It was far better than her own actually.
"Do you like it? Do you think it'll be useful?" she asked.
"It'll be very useful. Thank you." Noah put the watch on. It looked like an ordinary watch. If Nina hadn't told him, he would have never figured out how special it was.
"Don't mention it. With all the lollipops you have given me, I need to repay you. I'll probably be eating those lollipops for the rest of my life." Nina smiled gently at him.
Since she was pregnant, her smile held a sweeter tone to it.
Noah thought back to how Nina initially was. She was a cold and stern girl that very rarely even smiled.
"I only brought a few lollipops this time. Tell me when you finish them and I'll send you more." Noah put the box into his coat pocket.
"Okay." Nina looked at John.
She met the eyes of a man by accident. He was in charge of checking the tickets at the entrance. He lowered his head in a hurry and picked up the tickets. Holding the tickets in his hand, the man was at somewhat of a loss.
The smile on Nina's face gradually disappeared.
"Noah, look at that man."
"What's wrong?" Noah looked at him. He was holding the tickets in his hand with his head down. Another person who was also in charge of checking the tickets talked to him from time to time, but he just answered casually and not saying much.
Noah also felt like there was something wrong with this man.
"Nini, do you know him?"
"No, I don't." Being as alert as she was, Nina scoured around the hall of the cinema and noticed two more suspicious people.
Two men with hats on, sat in the massage chairs and chatted.
When Nina's eyes fell on them, the two men slyly pulled the peaks of their hats down.
"Noah, look at those two men." Nina motioned him to look over. "Something about those two just isn't right. When we arrived here, they were sitting there and chatting. If they came here to watch a movie, they should have left by now, but they are still there."
When Noah entered the cinema, he didn't even notice these men. After Nina pointed them out, he studied them from head to toe and then stared at their mouths.
"What should we do? I suspect that we have been found out. Don't look at them, just continue talking. Don't let them notice. When are we going to take action? Wait for the order. There are too many people here..." Noah said word by word.
Nina knew it was the conversation between the two men. Her eyes turned steely as she said, "It seems that we're being watched."
"Do you know who they are?" Noah kept staring at the two men. As the two men raised their heads to see what was going on, they met Noah's ferocious eyes.
They were shaken to their cores and lowered their hats again.
"Jett probably asked them to watch me." Watching the two people leave, Nina looked around again. "Aside from these three men, there are bound to be more people watching us.
We need to be careful. We can't give Jett any ammunition on us."
"You're right." Noah nodded. "Let's go over there. Mr. Shi is waiting for you."
