The three of them were under the trees in the green belt. Only Yang Qian sat with her head down, looking frightened, while the other two stared at the scene of the incident.
The ambulance had left, and the police cars had driven away. Only a cordon was set up around the broken parts of the exploded car.
This road was blocked. The on - lookers who had gathered before were separated by the cordon and were having a heated discussion not far from Gu Sisi and the others.
"This accident is so strange. Could it be that this place has bad feng shui?"
"It's really possible."
"The insurance company should take full responsibility, but a living life is gone."
"Come on! Didn't the police even find the body? It was blown to pieces."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
The people around them fell silent. Gu Sisi and Jiang Lihao exchanged a glance. They could both see the paleness on each other's faces, as well as the constantly pale face of Yang Qian sitting there.
"The situation is very serious. It seems we've been targeted," Jiang Lihao squinted his eyes and whispered.
The person behind this was from his Jiang family. If they weren't deliberately targeted, no one would have taken such extreme measures. Most likely, all their information had been thoroughly investigated.
"Yeah." Gu Sisi looked solemn. She took a deep breath and frowned with worry when she looked at Yang Qian.
It would have been better if they hadn't dragged her into this from the start. But it was too late now.
"Behind you, at the three - o'clock direction, there are several people walking towards us," Jiang Lihao whispered. The volume was just right for Gu Sisi to hear. She watched as he casually shifted his gaze and fixed it on Yang Qian.
Before Gu Sisi could react, she saw Jiang Lihao lift Yang Qian up and hold her in his arms. She couldn't hear what he said, but saw Yang Qian's panicked face and her eyes darting around uncontrollably.
"Head for the crowded area."
Jiang Lihao's deliberately lowered voice came again. Gu Sisi immediately clenched her fists, lowered her head, and squeezed straight into the crowd.
The world never lacks on - lookers. Soon, those people lost their targets.
"Chase them!"
Soon, those people also entered the crowd and began to look for their targets.
But there were both advantages and disadvantages. The three of them together were too conspicuous a target, so they had to separate.
Gu Sisi could still barely keep an eye on the other two. She couldn't get too far away from them and had to avoid the people chasing them. She pushed through one person after another, constantly muttering, "Sorry!"
Those who were about to get angry didn't feel it appropriate to say anything.
But then, there were people who pushed them forcefully without even apologizing. Some people started to curse, "Are you crazy? In such a hurry to go to hell?"
The man gave them a glare, and those who had been speaking immediately fell silent. Only then did they notice that the man was extremely large.
"Let's go, don't look," the warned man grabbed his wife and left in a hurry. He found that his back was covered in cold sweat.
The man's aura was so strange that he even felt the man might kill him with one blow.
The wife, who had been enjoying the show, was unhappy that her husband had interrupted her, but his grip on her arm was too tight.
She struggled hard, "Let go if you want me to go!"
"Shut up," the husband said seriously.
...
Yang Qian's situation wasn't good either. She kept turning around in the crowd, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Fortunately, she was small, which gave her an advantage in dodging through the crowd.
There was no one chasing her behind, perhaps she had managed to shake them off. So she was nervously looking for the other two in the crowd.
Maybe her prayers were answered. She finally saw Jiang Lihao's figure in the distance. He was tall, so he stood out in the crowd.
Yang Qian struggled to push through the crowd and headed towards Jiang Lihao.
"Excuse me, thank you."
Yang Qian was like an eel, getting closer and closer.
Jiang Lihao was also looking over the heads of the crowd, searching for the two of them. He was anxious, afraid that something might have happened to one of them.
But after scanning many times, he still didn't see them. There were simply too many people.
Anxiety gradually showed on his face. Maybe he was too focused, so he ignored his vigilance and didn't notice someone slowly approaching him.
In a split - second, Jiang Lihao saw Yang Qian suddenly appear in front of him, and... the knife behind her.
There was a man standing behind her, with a somewhat shocked expression, as if this was an accident.
"You...?" Jiang Lihao looked flustered.
"Run!" Maybe due to excessive blood loss, Yang Qian's face and lips were completely bloodless, only a pool of blood and the handle of a knife on her abdomen.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Qian closed her eyes and fell straight down.
Jiang Lihao reached out and caught her.
She had blocked in front of him, so Jiang Lihao knew she had taken the knife for him.
Their eyes met in mid - air. Jiang Lihao curved his lips into a smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a man approaching him quietly.
They couldn't fight head - on, otherwise both of them would be unable to escape. This was his instant judgment.
Just as the two were about to form an encirclement, the man turned around and disappeared into the crowd, and even the injured woman was nowhere to be seen.
The two walked to the place just now. There was still a pool of blood on the ground, but there was no sign of them around.
"What should we do?"
"They can't have gone far. Chase!"
The two separated again and entered the crowd.
Not far away, under the shade of a tree, a man was holding an injured woman.
"Don't sleep. Wake up," Jiang Lihao anxiously patted her small face.
But no matter how hard he patted, that face wouldn't turn red.
Yang Qian opened her eyes slightly, slowly recognized the person in front of her, and groaned painfully, "It hurts."
"Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the hospital." Jiang Lihao took off his overcoat and covered her with it. He picked her up and quickly left the crowd.
In the crowd, a group of people gathered.
"No sign at all?"
Someone shook their head. After pondering for a while, he said, "I suspect that man has slipped away with a woman."
"Slipped away? When?" The questioner frowned slightly.
"Just a short while ago."
"Okay, you two stay and look for the other woman. The rest of you follow me to chase!"
"Yes!"
After the task was assigned, the group left. Two of them entered the crowd again. But as time passed and the crowd gradually dispersed, they found that their target was nowhere to be found in the crowd.
"Damn it!" The two cursed angrily.
Reluctantly, they reported the situation to their superior. As expected, they received a scolding.
The two trembled as they accepted it all. As soon as they hung up the phone, they punched a nearby tree in extreme frustration. It was autumn, and the leaves fell.
"This woman dared to play us!"
...
Meanwhile, the person involved was sitting in a taxi, tightly clutching a small note in her hand.
"Where to?" the driver asked.
Gu Sisi gritted her teeth. No, she couldn't give up.
"Please go to the outskirts of Dongli."
This was the place where Jiang Lihao said Huo Cheng was most likely to appear, and it was also the area where Huo Cheng's elder sister was. She was going to take a chance.
Even though the location on the note in her pocket was the absolutely safe place Jiang Lihao had mentioned.
