CHAPTER 478 (1): GIVE IT BACK TO ME

Tan Ge tightly clutched her sleeves as she watched the man close in.

Judging from his facial features, particularly his sharp nose, this man doesn’t look like he’s from Beimin.

The man stopped in front of her, coldly questioning, “What’s your relationship with the old woman in the house?”

Tan Ge was taken aback for a moment before she vigorously shook her head. “I don’t know her.”

“Then why were you acting suspiciously?”

Tan Ge wrung her sleeves even more tightly. “I’m an orphan and I didn’t have anything to eat; I will…”

The man cut her off with a voice that could cause one’s blood to freeze. “Kill her.”

Hearing the word ‘kill’, Tan Ge’s body shuddered. I just escaped from the imperial palace, but I already have someone who wants to kill me before I’ve even fled the capital!

Seeing the guard coming closer, Tan Ge’s body grew stiff.

I don’t want to die! I can’t die!

Just as the guard was about to reach her, she lowered her body and slipped under him arm. She then quickly sprinted away with her life on the line, the frosty wind practically roaring in her ears as her nerves grew taut.

Despite her desperate attempts to escape, she soon felt someone seizing her by the collar and ruthlessly flinging her to the ground. When her back hit the cold and hard ground, pain shot through her whole body.

“Don’t kill me.” Tan Ge was nervous as she watched the man’s dark pupils flicker.

As the alley was isolated from the main street, and the only houses around were run-down and abandoned, there was naturally no one else to hear her plea.
