Chapter 1371: With Your Skills, Half an Hour Won’t Be a Problem, Right?
A thirty-minute drive felt particularly short just because there was a man beside her.
Upon arriving at Jing Garden, everyone got out of the car like a swarm, and only after it was quiet did Ye Shushu let go of Gu Feimo’s jacket.
"Thank you." She uttered these two words, biting her lip, then turned and got off the car.
She followed the crowd inside, not looking back.
It was out of fear, fearing that her fantasies would be crushed, so she didn’t dare to look back.
She couldn’t sense his presence until she reached the front of Jing Garden’s gate, and only then did she slowly turn to glance back.
Sure enough, it was just a coincidence; he was already gone.
Senior Feimo didn’t follow her into the car; he came over for some business, and they coincidentally took the same car.
Admittedly, her heart suddenly felt empty, but wasn’t this the outcome she had already anticipated?
So she shouldn’t feel anything unusual.
Emerging from the ticket booth, Ye Shushu’s face had returned to normal.
She took out her camera and snapped a few fierce shots in front of Jing Garden’s gate, then walked in with a light step.
...
After the Alchemy Competition, Xia Yinian didn’t rush back to Jing Garden.
Because she had a particularly important place to visit, she made sure to send Jing Hanye away.
Before going in, she had already agreed with Yuan Yaying that after the competition, she had to attend to something else and let Yuan Yaying do her own thing.
Leaving the competition building, Xia Yinian got into a relatively ordinary sedan.
"Nian Nian, are we really going there now?" asked Wen Jiaxin as he drove.
Ever since Feng Yan found out about Xia Yinian’s identity, he had assigned quite a few people to protect her.
Wen Jiaxin, whom Xia Yinian met during special training at Feng Yan’s base, was a big boy, quick and smart. Xia Yinian handpicked him.
From Yaoshan to Ye City, Wen Jiaxin and dozens of brothers guarded Xia Yinian all the way.
"Yes." Xia Yinian affirmed with a nod.
"Don’t you think it’s a deliberate release of information from the other side that made it so easy for us to find that person this time?" Wen Jiaxin’s voice sounded again.
"I know, but I must go." Xia Yinian insisted steadfastly.
She was captured; even Bing City’s police couldn’t find her, which indicated that her captor—Beicheng’s biological mother—was indeed an extraordinary person.
Moreover, she could hire assassins from Hei Ying, which further proved this fact.
However, Beicheng said that this time capturing her wasn’t done with much malice.
Thinking about the other party’s intent to meet her, yesterday Xia Yinian had Wen Jiaxin investigate this woman wearing a human skin mask.
Surprisingly, within a day, her people found this woman’s address.
This was indeed unusual, both Wen Jiaxin and Xia Yinian recognized that.
Yet knowing this, she still insisted on meeting this woman, not for anything else but because it’s the mother of the man she cares about.
"Have you arranged what I asked you to?" Xia Yinian continued after a while.
"Yes, if we don’t come out within half an hour, the brothers will know what to do." Wen Jiaxin nodded in response.
"That’s good, with your skills, half an hour shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Xia Yinian smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere in the car.
She wasn’t really calm; she was almost killed by the person hiring assassins.
But regardless, she had to go there, so aside from ensuring her own safety, there’s no use in overthinking it.
