Chapter 1958: Chapter 1894: No Escape
Arrived!
Meng Xinian suddenly struck his own temple with just the right force, causing a moment of intense pain but without making him faint.
This stimulation gave his mind a fleeting clarity.
Just at this moment.
He abruptly turned around and dashed into one of the taverns.
The man cursed but then followed up with, "Interesting, interesting."
Someone who could escape right in front of him was something he rarely encountered.
Moreover, he had just watched the path Meng Xinian took, no blood trail was left behind, not a single drop.
The man, who was extremely confident in his shooting, found this to be the most unbelievable thing.
How could it be?
He clearly saw that he hit him just now. In that situation, at that angle, it was clearly impossible to dodge.
A group of people rushed over from behind.
"Second Master!"
The man pointed toward that tavern, "Capture alive, I want him alive, no one is to kill him."
"Yes!"
The group immediately rushed toward the tavern, the leader made two hand gestures, some stood guard outside, surrounding the tavern without leaving a gap, while others rushed inside.
At this moment, Chiang Xiao was also quickly heading toward the tavern.
She hadn’t seen Meng Xinian dash in, only the group rushing in and surrounding the tavern. In that instant, although she was about to head in a different direction, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately changed course, heading toward them instead.
Those men were only surrounding to prevent anyone from leaving, but they weren’t stopping anyone from entering.
Especially not a woman?
Chiang Xiao tightened her coat, pulled her scarf up to cover half of her face, and rushed in as well.
As soon as the people entered, they began searching each table, throwing the tavern into chaos.
Chiang Xiao’s heartbeat accelerated, thumping quickly, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
People were everywhere, shouting and cursing, pushing and shoving with those who had rushed in.
She could hear her own breathing, so rapid and heavy.
The tavern’s lighting was already dim, she looked around but didn’t see Meng Xinian.
But she somehow felt that these people were undoubtedly looking for Meng Xinian.
She was still filled with panic, so Meng Xinian must be in trouble.
If he were okay, he wouldn’t have cared about these people at all.
She frantically scanned the area, looking for a spot where Meng Xinian could be hiding.
Amidst the chaos of those people, she continued moving inside and saw a 1.5-meter-high bar counter.
Actually, hiding behind the bar counter wasn’t a good option, because it was an obvious target, and a mere glance over the top would reveal anyone hiding there.
However, for a minute they wouldn’t think to check there, and the bartender behind the bar counter had a rather peculiar expression.
His stance was also slightly stiff.
Chiang Xiao’s heart pounded vigorously as she rushed to the bar counter, simultaneously bumping into two men who were about to search it, knocking them aside.
"Hey! Stupid woman, you looking to die!"
One of the men she bumped into cursed loudly.
Chiang Xiao had already reached the bar and, pretending to tremble, squeezed behind it, grabbing the bartender’s sleeve, "Sir, this is scary."
At the same time, she quickly looked down, her pupils drastically constricting.
Inside the bar, Meng Xinian was lying there, one hand tightly gripping the bartender’s foot, while a knife in his other hand was pressed against his Achilles tendon.
Yet he was pale, eyes tightly shut.
