Dusk came, and thunder rolled to welcome a stormy rain.

The streets were busy, and against the wind she ran, with her pair of long slender legs, running, and running. The beautiful, exquisite girl, wore nothing but the expression of fear on her face.

The girl ran whilst glancing at the three men who were chasing after her. When an opportunity presented itself, the frantic girl slid herself into a dark alleyway. She remained there only for as long as her chasers had gone further up ahead.

Lo and behold, only within a few steps after coming out from the alleyway, another group of men came shouting from behind her, saying, “Miss! Don’t run!”

Xia Yanxi froze at the order. Fearing to even inhale deeply, the girl picked herself up and sprinted ahead.

The rain came pouring down, and it did not stop a black regal Bentley from cruising along the parkway. All of a sudden, the car hit the breaks. The sudden deceleration caused the passenger, a man narrowing his eyes, to jerk forward.

The driver, cheeks flushed, turned behind immediately.

“My deepest apologies, Mr. Qiao. There’s this girl… she came jumping in…” said the driver as apologetically as possible.

The passenger, Mr. Qiao, adjusted his posture. He opened his cold, ill-bearing eagle eyes, and glanced at the driver, saying, “See to her.”

The driver got down quickly and after seeing that the girl had fallen unconscious, he came to the passenger’s side, knocking on the window.

“Mr. Qiao. It appears she has lost consciousness,” he said.

“Take her to the roadside and call an ambulance,” the man hummed.

Xia Yanxi could hear the cold, emotionless tone of the man coming from the car window. At that moment, she bit her lips hard.

Was she going to be abandoned? Would she not be captured soon?

If she did… one would not be able to fathom the outcome…
