Chapter 1102 - Heart Pounding (1/2)

The conditions of the hotel Xia Yanran was staying were worse than those hostels in China. The sound insulation was not good and in the corridor, the sounds in the next room could be heard clearly if it was loud.

Xia Yanran did not sleep well at night as she was afraid that someone would break into her room in the middle of the night.

She woke up at dawn, changing into the locals’ clothes, before the painted her face dark and put on the veil.

She went on a shabby bus and went on a b.u.mpy ride towards the suburb Xiao Yi was at. The roads in the suburbs were b.u.mpy and Xia Yanran almost threw up the food she ate in the morning.

Before coming here, she had checked the situation on the internet, but the reality was harsher than she had ever imagined.

The bus was driving slowly and Xia Yanran was on tenterhooks all the way, afraid that the bus would break down halfway. The roads were lined with weeds and the houses were in ruins, the traces of war still evident.

It took more than two hours and Xia Yanran was starting to feel restless, but there was still another half to go. By now, Xia Yanran’s stomach was churning and she felt uncomfortable.

Just when she was leaning against the window drowsily, the bus stopped.

Several black men with swords got into the car.

Xia Yanran saw that the few pa.s.sengers on the bus had taken their bags out.

Xia Yanran knew that the security was not good here and those men had guns too, so she took out her bag like the other pa.s.sengers.

The black men with swords took their bags away.

One of the black men stopped in front of Xia Yanran and sized her up.

Xia Yanran lips under the veil pursed tightly and her fingers curled, She lowered her eyes, not meeting that man’s gaze.

That man suddenly reached out and pulled away Xia Yanran’s veil.

Xia Yanran’s heart seemed to have stopped at that moment.

But fortunately, when that person saw that her skin was dark and had no outstanding appearance, he did not stay and left with the sword in his hands.

The bus started to move again.

Xia Yanran’s back and palms were all sweaty. This place was more dangerous and scary than she had thought!

After another two long hours, Xia Yanran arrived at her destination near noon. The sun hung in the air, like a fireball burning people’s bodies.

Xia Yanran fanned herself with her hand. Her bag was stolen, but it was fortunate that her important belongings were in her clothes.

Taking out her phone, she found Tang Chao’s number and sent a message to him. But the signal in this place was so bad that the signal went dead after she sent the message.

Xia Yanran found a big stone and sat down. She only hoped that Tang Chao could see her message, otherwise if she met those thugs again, she would be dead!

Half an hour later, Xia Yanran heard the roar of a motorcycle.

Looking up, she saw a tall figure riding a motorcycle speeding over, a dust storm rising behind him. Under the rays of sun, she could not see his face clearly.

But from his outline, she could tell that it was Tang Chao. This fellow always appeared in such a different way.

Tang Chao rode very fast and soon, he was by Xia Yanran’s side.

He had obviously become tanned after coming to Bardahl. He was wearing sungla.s.ses and a helmet on his head. After looking around, his gaze landed on Xia Yanran. “You are…”

Xia Yanran saw his puzzled expression and could not help laughing, her tensed up nerves also relaxed.
