Chapter 430 - Weak-Kneed With Fright (1/2)

Her heart sank. As she turned to leave, a voice suddenly boomed, “Sister Nian!” It was Bai Yuan.

Li Beinian jumped and almost took to her heels on reflex.

Gu Mingye’s party, on the other hand, was stunned momentarily before they shouted, “Give chase!”

In all her life, Li Beinian had never felt this sort of guilt.

Her knees went wobbly, and she couldn’t be sure if it was from the activity of the previous night or from being chased by these men.

She was about to run down the escalator when, from the corner of her eyes, she saw the elevator stopping on this floor.

She took a quick turn and ran towards the elevator.

The men giving chase were all trained veteran soldiers from the special forces. So, they were naturally very quick on their feet.

It didn’t take much effort for them to catch up.

Alas, Li Beinian had managed to squeeze into the elevator just as the doors were shutting.

Still, she hit the lift button frantically as she saw Bai Yuan dashing towards her. Then, as he was just about four to five meters away from the elevator, the doors firmly snapped shut.

She heaved a giant sigh of relief when she felt the elevator starting its descent.

There were two other ladies in the elevator. They had observed the situation and were curious enough to ask, “Had an argument with your boyfriend?”

Li Beinian gave an embarrassed smile and lowered her head without answering.

Not only that.

She had bedded him, and then dumped him!

It wouldn’t be funny if she got captured.

That was one thing Li Beinian could be sure of. As the elevator descended floor by floor, her anxiety grew.

But it was a building with many floors, and the lower floors were designated for commercial use. There would be many shoppers around.

The elevator descended with various stops in-between. More than a minute had passed, and they had only moved about ten floors down.

She couldn’t take it anymore. At the next stop, just as she had decided to squeeze past the crowd to get out, she saw a familiar face.

He was a new member of Gu Mingye’s troop. His name was Ma Lin or something like that.

Li Beinian shrank back into the crowded elevator, her heart racing.

That was it.
