Chapter 1953: Chapter 1889: Targeted
Chiang Xiao stood in the square and looked at the scattered lights on the opposite side.
There were still so many lights over there now, indicating that it truly was a place concentrated with nightlife.
No matter where you are, places like this are always quite chaotic.
If possible, she wouldn’t want to go over there. After all, as Liu Guoying said, it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it.
As a girl going over there alone at night, it’s definitely unsafe.
But here, there’s no other direction for Meng Xinian to go apart from heading over there.
Should she just give up looking for him and return to the hotel to wait for him?
What if he doesn’t come back tonight?
What if she suddenly senses that he’s in danger? By that time, it might be too late to come out of the hotel. If she can get closer to him, as close as possible, maybe it’d be easier to find him if something happens?
Chiang Xiao looked at the lights opposite the small square, no longer hesitating, and quickly ran across the square.
Behind her, two shadows followed.
"This little girl is really brave; she actually went over there."
"You can’t blame us, right? Such a delectable little sweetie, it’s like she’s been sent specifically for us to have a taste."
"Hahaha."
"She’s running really fast!"
"Don’t worry, can she really run faster than us? Chase after her, we can’t let such a sweetie slip away."
Chiang Xiao, while running, lowered her eyes slightly to pay attention to the movement behind her.
A cold smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
So, even before reaching the chaotic area, she already had trash eyeing her?
She hoped they wouldn’t waste her time, wouldn’t disturb her looking for Meng Xinian, or else she might not hold back from beating them up.
She increased her speed and quickly ran across the small square.
The two men saw her running so fast, and they actually grew angry.
"She’s running so fast, has she discovered us?"
"This Oriental girl is very alert; I feel she could be quite a handful."
"Good, good. The more you say that, the more excited I feel, what can I do?"
"Quick, chase after her!"
With Chiang Xiao’s speed, if she really intended to run and let them chase, they certainly wouldn’t be able to catch up. However, she needed to stop and check the terrain, think about where Meng Xinian might go, and also search to see if he left any signs there.
Therefore, this allowed the two men to catch up to her.
When they caught up to her, Chiang Xiao was focused on a few scratches on the wall at the entrance of an alley.
There happened to be a street lamp there, that’s why she saw those scratches.
Chiang Xiao instantly recognized that it was Meng Xinian’s mark.
So, after coming here, maybe he found that he needed to continue further, and wouldn’t be able to return to the hotel for a short time, that’s why he left the mark?
Just as Chiang Xiao was about to go over and take a closer look, the two men had already blocked her way.
Both of them opened their arms to block her.
"Whew, whew. I’m exhausted; I’ve never seen a woman run so fast."
Both were panting, but being so close to Chiang Xiao made their eyes shine even more.
One of them couldn’t help but whistle loudly.
"Look at our luck, we’ve stumbled upon a treasure! Didn’t expect it; she looks even prettier up close!"
"Hey, little girl, it’s so late; where are you going by yourself?"
Chiang Xiao’s eyes flashed, she looked at them, and said coldly, "Move out of the way."
"Hey, cold as ice, huh? Don’t be like that. We’re just being good samaritans wanting to care for you."
