Chapter 1 - Saving Someone’s Life (I) (2/2)

At that moment, Ning Qing heard some rus.h.i.+ng footsteps, alongside a man’s low voice. “Hurry! We must get rid of him today!”

Are they going to murder him?

Ning Qing bit her lips, and with great effort, moved the injured man into the bush by the side of the road. “Sir, hide here for a while. I’ll lead them away.”

“Don’t go…” He waved to stop her. But the girl was swift like a rabbit, leaving him with a hazy yet beautiful image.

Ning Qing stood in the road, and soon a group of men in black appeared. They looked fierce. Upon seeing her, they asked rudely, “Oi, young lady. Have you seen an injured man pa.s.sing by?”

Ning Qing quietly and naturally hid one hand in the pocket of her down jacket, her face unchanged. She pointed the front with the other hand and said, “I just saw a man walking over there.”

The men in black looked at each other. Today they would rather kill a thousand innocent people than miss their prey. This girl seemed a little suspicious, and they had reached a silent consensus to remove her as a potential threat.

Ning Qing felt their gloomy stare. One of them even started to walk towards her…

At this critical moment, a string of melodious ringing sounds came from her pocket. She reached for the phone and answered it.

“Hi, Junxi…I’m at Fumin Road… You’ll be here in one minute?… Okay, I’ll just wait by the bus stop.”

Ning Qing hung up the phone. Without even looking at those men, she crossed the road and stood by the bus stop, quietly waiting for her date.

The men in black looked at each other again. The girl’s calm and natural behavior seemed to have removed doubts from their mind. With the innocent look, she did not seem to be lying. She tilted her head, smiled and waved her arms at a man wearing a suit, who was just walking towards her. “Hi, Junxi. I’m here.”

The arrival of that man completely dispelled those men’s thoughts of killing Ning Qing. They did not hesitate anymore and quickly rushed toward the direction where Ning Qing had just pointed at.
