Chapter 1954: Chapter 1890: Heartbeat
"That’s right, that’s right, it’s so dark here. Walking alone can be very dangerous, and it’s freezing. Look, it’s snowing. Let’s find a place to have a couple of drinks and warm up."
The two men spoke while approaching Chiang Xiao simultaneously.
"I told you to get out of the way. Are you deaf? I’m warning you, I don’t have time to beat anyone up right now."
Chiang Xiao’s expression turned cold.
In such a short time, the snow was falling heavier and heavier. Under the lights, the sky was filled with swirling snow. Had it not been the wrong time or wrong people, she might have taken the time to enjoy it.
But now she was anxious to find Meng Xinian.
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.
If there’s nothing wrong, knowing that she would be returning to the hotel at night, with Meng Xinian’s clingy nature, how could he bear to be running around outside, so late without coming back to the hotel to find her?
Unless he truly had something important and couldn’t leave.
But it doesn’t make sense.
In Country Y, his most important task was to protect Jun Weichi. Moreover, he didn’t have any friends here other than Jun Weichi, who had already returned to the hotel. Who else could he be meeting?
Could he have gone to find Chen Baoshen’s friend who studied Western medicine?
Impossible. If he really went to find him, he should’ve waited for her to go together.
They had agreed on it before, to go together.
So no matter what, Meng Xinian’s behavior this time was genuinely peculiar.
"Little girl, come with us. Didn’t you see the snow getting heavier? Soon you’ll freeze to death out here."
The man said, already reaching out to put his arm around Chiang Xiao’s shoulder.
But before his hand touched Chiang Xiao, she swiftly grabbed his wrist like a thunderbolt and twisted it forcefully.
With a sharp crack, the man’s arm was instantly dislocated by her.
"Ah!" The man screamed in agony, his arm drooping helplessly.
The other man glanced at Chiang Xiao, his gaze changing immediately.
"China Kung Fu?" But still unconvinced, he swung his fist rushing toward her.
Chiang Xiao sidestepped, aiming for a quick end, and punched towards a pressure point on his waist.
The man collapsed, feeling weak all over.
Chiang Xiao glanced at them coldly and kicked them aside.
"You should be thankful I don’t have time now; otherwise, I’d pound you so hard you’d be searching for your teeth all over the ground."
Their faces twisted in pain, eyes filled with terror. And she said that wasn’t a beating?
Chiang Xiao took another look at the mark and immediately sprinted into the alley.
The alley initially had some lighting, but it was very long. After running a while, there was no light ahead.
Darkness surrounded her on all sides, seemingly with only the option to turn back.
However, midway, she saw another mark left by Meng Xinian. He seemed to have kept heading this way.
Chiang Xiao looked around and pulled out a flashlight from her Space, shining it ahead.
There was a bend in the path up ahead.
She continued running towards it.
After turning, there was another street.
The snow was getting heavier, covering her head and body.
Some snow slipped into her collar, melting with her body warmth, feeling chilly.
Chiang Xiao shivered.
Growing up in a warm place, she’s somewhat unaccustomed to this snowy cold.
She took out a small bottle of Spirit Spring Water and drank a few sips, and her body quickly warmed up.
At that moment, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
