Chapter 1966: Chapter 1902: Driven to Madness with Worry
Meng Xinian had never seen her so uneasy and vigilant before.
Even though she was sleeping beside him, even though she was sleeping in the space, she still remained alert, not relaxing at all.
“Did I scare you last night?” Meng Xinian gently pulled her out of his embrace, reached out to touch her face, “How did you find me? Did you run into those people?”
In fact, last night at the final moment, he also felt like he was just grasping at the last thread of survival.
But when he grabbed the bartender’s ankle and heard the sound of those people rushing in, he already knew, it was over, there was no last chance of survival.
Hiding there was not safe at all.
He would be found at any moment.
But at that time his consciousness was already blurred, his eyes couldn’t open, the sounds around him were quickly fading away, and trying to run any further was completely impossible.
He originally thought he had already fallen into the hands of those people.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Chiang Xiao found him.
“Not exactly, they didn’t get a good look at me.”
Chiang Xiao recounted what happened last night, then frowned and asked, “Brother Xinian, why did you go there? And why are they trying to catch you? Your peace charm is broken, did something happen?”
“You’re really a curious one, aren’t you?” Meng Xinian rubbed her head and said, “I’m really hungry right now, could you cook me something to eat? I’ll tell you everything after we get back to the hotel. After being out for a night, I’m afraid Dai Gang and the others might be in a mess.”
“Looks like it’s a long story.”
“Yes, it’s a long story.”
Chiang Xiao actually knew that the teachers and others might already be crazed with worry, having not returned for the night.
They had to go back first before she could explain everything.
So, she quickly went to cook a bowl of noodles and brought it to Meng Xinian.
“You eat first, I’m going out.”
The one less than perfect aspect of this space is that it can’t move.
When she enters the space, wherever she is at that moment, when she exits, she will still be in that place.
“Be careful.”
“I know.” Chiang Xiao walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and started picking out clothes, “I also have to disguise myself, can’t appear as I did yesterday.”
She put on a cotton jacket, then wore a coat over it, thus making her figure appear twice as bulky.
Then she took a hat and stuffed all her hair inside, ensuring no one could see a single strand of her black hair. She also found a new pair of shoes to wear.
“How about this? If I keep my head down, no one will notice, right?”
Actually, it didn’t matter, those people hadn’t seen her face, even if she walked out with her head up high, no one would recognize her. As long as people didn’t see her leaving the tavern.
“Hmm.”
Chiang Xiao observed carefully, then cautiously flashed out of the space.
The little tavern, of course, wasn’t open at this hour.
The door was locked from the outside, so leaving through it was impossible, so she pried the window open, paused to listen for any noises outside, and after a while, she carefully climbed out through the window.
In the hotel, Liu Guoying and Dai Gang indeed were nearly going crazy.
Not only did Meng Xinian not return all night, even Chiang Xiao, who went out to look for him, had no news.
Dai Gang had to stay with Jun Weichi, he couldn’t just leave randomly; the orders Meng Xinian gave him were clear – apart from his life, missions come above everything else.
He couldn’t abandon his duties.
And Liu Guoying couldn’t go out to search, he was already advanced in age; with the strong winds and snow outside, he might have fallen after just a few steps.
