Tracking her father proved to be more difficult than anticipated. However, it was not impossible. Hu Lei followed his route along the border of Argentina and Chile to a small market. Like other places in the rural setting, she could not fit in though she did make efforts to avoid sticking out. Since she had come this far, she could not back down.
She immediately started inquiring about her father from the people in the market. Currently, she had no hope of remaining incognito. Therefore, her hope was to find information as soon as possible and plan her next steps. She approached most of the shopkeepers and a couple of roadside vendors, but none of them knew about Hu Ming. She could not think where else to look because there was no hotel in this small place.
