"Why do several healthy young men need to go to the hospital? And why do they get paid for going? If they're late, why are they punished?"

The more Lin Yifan thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. It was likely related to the Bloodsucking Sect collecting fresh blood.

The hospital had specialized equipment for bloodletting and nurses dedicated to drawing blood, making it an ideal place for collecting fresh blood.

Although there were still five days until the time for collecting fresh blood, with modern technology's refrigeration preservation, the freshness of the blood could be maintained for a long time; collecting in advance was to alleviate the workload of the staff and gather as much blood as possible.

Lin Yifan quickly finished the sandwich in his hand and then followed them.

The breakfast stall was near the subway entrance, which was why several young men living nearby passed this way.

After entering the subway station and buying tickets, the group of foreign young men headed to the platform to wait for the train.

Lin Yifan quietly followed, keeping a suitable distance from them.

The young foreign men hadn't noticed anything; everything was normal, just like before.

"Dingdong!"

A few minutes later, the subway arrived, and Lin Yifan followed the young foreign men into the same carriage.

After about seven to eight stops, they got off; near this station was a hospital called St. Leah Hospital.

Lin Yifan guessed that these young foreign men should be going to St. Leah Hospital to donate blood, so he continued to follow.

After exiting the subway station and crossing a street, they arrived at St. Leah Hospital.

At this time, St. Leah Hospital was heavily guarded, and only people with a blood donation certificate were allowed entry.

This was just a blood drawing site, presumably not the actual warehouse, so Lin Yifan didn't need to go inside.

He only needed to rent a room nearby and monitor the hospital's various exits 24/7; by persisting, he should be able to locate the main blood storage warehouse.

Notably, the soldiers at this hospital were from the Count's Mansion, suggesting that Lin Yifan indeed had some fate with them.

With a plan in place, Lin Yifan scouted the area continuously, even purchasing binoculars, aiming to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

With money, everything was manageable; Lin Yifan could rent a house without even a passport.

This house had an excellent location, allowing him to observe the movements at the west main entrance and the south side entrance of St. Leah Hospital.

Although it was a bit far from St. Leah, with the binoculars, everything was manageable.

Thus, Lin Yifan began his life of surveillance.

After a day passed, there was no activity at either entrance of St. Leah Hospital.

Lin Yifan guessed that there was a cold storage inside St. Leah Hospital. The fresh blood collected was temporarily stored there.

The reason he was so sure was that St. Leah Hospital had only two entrances.

He had been monitoring these two entrances. If there had been any activity, he would have noticed it by now; furthermore, having a cold storage in a hospital wasn't unusual; hence, the fresh blood collected should still be inside St. Leah Hospital.

Lin Yifan did not relax and continued to monitor the situation at St. Leah's two entrances 24 hours a day.

Being a cultivator, going without sleep for days wasn't a problem for him.

Another day passed, yet the vehicle for transporting blood had not arrived, which was somewhat nerve-wracking.

On the third night, there was finally activity at one of St. Leah Hospital's entrances.

Several black large trucks parked at the south side entrance, seemingly loading goods.

Lin Yifan guessed that these uniquely shaped large trucks were likely there to transport the fresh blood collected over the past few days.

So, he immediately set off, ambushed in the vicinity of the route these black large trucks would inevitably take, and watched quietly.

After waiting for over an hour, he finally saw these black large trucks driving out from St. Leah Hospital's south gate.

He didn't immediately follow because there were heavy guards from the Count's Mansion protecting these black large trucks from all sides.

The guards were also cultivators, with some quite powerful; Lin Yifan feared if he followed too early, his identity might be exposed, so he didn't immediately follow them.

The Count's Mansion soldiers sat in the vehicles, forming a guard detail to protect the black large trucks as they moved forward.

By now, it was late at night, and there were hardly any vehicles on the road.

Moreover, this road was managed by Eiborstin's traffic police, allowing only the large trucks transporting fresh blood and the royal nobles' vehicles protecting the blood to pass through.

Hence, they could move unhindered, advancing at a steady pace.

Lin Yifan couldn't drive a vehicle to track them; he could only use his qinggong, as light as a swallow, to follow stealthily by the roadside.

Once the convoy transporting the blood was some distance away, Lin Yifan set out secretly.

He tracked them silently, without causing the slightest disturbance.

No one discovered his movements, not even the protectors of Divine Transformation from the Count's Mansion.

He followed all the way to near a train station.

He discovered these black large trucks drove into a place resembling a large factory.

Within the large factory were many "workshops"; Lin Yifan surmised these "workshops" were likely cold storages temporarily storing the collected fresh blood.

This place might be where fresh blood from Eiborstin was stored overall, or even the total storage point for fresh blood collected throughout the Alexander Empire.

Thus, this place needed to be closely watched, and any actions should also take place here.

The "large factory" was built near Eiborstin's train station. Lin Yifan guessed that the people of the Bloodsucking Sect might use the train, a mode of transportation, to ship a large quantity of fresh blood to their lair.

It can be inferred that the Bloodsucking Sect, like the Shadow Organization, might be built underground to prevent foreign invasion.

Having found the main warehouse, Lin Yifan's next step was to look for an opportunity to act, to kill a vampire; then, disguise himself and blend into the fresh blood escort team.

He had seen the Bloodsucking Sect's attire: a red cloak with a mask; the entire body and face were covered, so it shouldn't leave any flaws.

The only concern was the color of the pupils. Western purebloods had blue pupils; however, after several foreign invasions in ancient times, many people became mixed, with some having black pupils, while others had different colors; so if luck was on his side, he might encounter a vampire with black pupils.

Everything would depend on fate; Lin Yifan hoped he would meet a vampire he could replace.

With the focus shifting to near the train station, the position naturally had to follow. Thus, Lin Yifan rented a room in a nearby residential house, monitoring a corner of the "large factory" and its surroundings for any movement.
