Chapter 1961: Chapter 1897: At a Loss
The bartender indeed confessed.
Chiang Xiao heard him in the Space; in fact, she wasn’t surprised at all.
She knew he would talk.
After all, he’s an outsider, with no ties or knowledge of good or evil.
Now that there’s money involved, of course, he would spill.
"Where is the person now?"
Immediately, two men lunged toward the bar, but upon looking, the space behind the bar was empty. Where was anyone?
One man grabbed the bartender by the collar, almost hauling him out with great force.
"I, I don’t know, just now, just now he was still here! I’m not lying, he really was here a moment ago!" The bartender’s face turned pale with fright.
The man roared: "Where is the person? I’m asking about now, where is he?"
"Don’t, don’t, don’t know..."
The bartender was about to cry, he was clearly still here moments ago, he was!
"You dare play tricks on me..." the man swung a punch towards his face.
"No, no, before the woman entered, he was still here!" The bartender squeezed his eyes shut, yelling at the same time.
Yes, that’s right, he remembered, just before that woman came in, his foot was still being grabbed by that person’s hand.
He certainly didn’t forget!
"Woman?"
The men were taken aback.
They exchanged glances, suddenly, one man slapped his hand and shouted: "That’s right, there was a woman who entered the bar earlier, where is she?"
All their gazes turned instantly towards the people in the tavern.
"Search!" The leader said through gritted teeth. "Find her!"
"She’s a young woman, about 168 cm tall, slender, wearing a coat and a scarf with black hair!"
They began to rudely push and shove their way into the crowd, searching for Chiang Xiao.
While wiping Meng Xinian’s face, Chiang Xiao listened to the situation outside.
Now she was thankful for deciding to enter Space earlier.
Otherwise, these men would have set their sights on her.
Even if they couldn’t figure out anything, she was worried such suspicions would be noticed by those with ill intentions.
It’s better this way, let them not see her, not know her appearance or identity—even if they are suspicious, what can they do if they can’t find her?
"Go and ask if anyone left earlier!"
Chaos ensued outside, yet Chiang Xiao only spared a little focus on it.
Most of her thoughts were presently on Meng Xinian.
He had vomited so excessively just now that she had to undress him completely, change his clothes, and clean him up.
Then she went to the Medicinal Garden to pick some herbs to stop vomiting and boiled them with Spirit Spring Water.
During the cooking process, she occasionally checked on Meng Xinian’s condition.
But Meng Xinian’s state made her heart sink deeper each time.
His complexion kept changing.
From pale to flushed, then to a greenish hue.
His body shifted from cold to feverish.
He was clearly suffering continuously.
Even while unconscious, his brow remained tightly furrowed.
"Brother Xinian, can you hear my voice? Wake up, wake up now." Only at this moment did Chiang Xiao realize the Medicine from Space and Spirit Spring Water seemed not to be omnipotent.
At least right now, she was completely unaware of what was happening with his body.
Before, she could only feed him Spirit Spring Water, but after he vomited it all out, she found herself helpless.
