Chapter 268 - 260: Crispy Flatbread (Part 4.5)
That night, Li Xianglu was in a bad mood, constantly thinking about the so-called purpose Su Yan mentioned after dinner.
Indeed, could it be that Qin Xi realized something was off about her when they first met, and that’s why he approached her?
Lost in her wild thoughts, Li Xianglu completely failed to notice the worried glances cast her way by the person reading beside her.
In her dream, Li Xianglu returned to her previous life. In the sea, she was rescued, washed ashore and then taken to a hospital room.
She had been unconscious, and to her shock, she discovered someone secretly searching through her belongings while she lay on the hospital bed. Startled, she sneaked away when no one was around at night.
But the peace didn’t last long. After returning home, she noticed someone seemed to be following her. Terrified, she stealthily took a black car to Lin City to hide. But those people were truly capable, managing to find her even there.
During another escape, she injured her foot. While tending to her wound, her blood touched a silver ring tied to a chain of a pocket watch, and she discovered that the ring could store items.
Thus, she planned to buy a large amount of supplies to hide in the mountains. But just when she had finished shopping and was about to escape, she was captured.
It was about four or five strong men. In the dream, she was gagged with a towel by a man and taken away, and then everything went dark in front of her eyes.
Li Xianglu abruptly opened her eyes, the bright light in the room painfully intense. Looking at the familiar room and windows, she felt around with her hand. The person was not there, probably out practicing boxing. So she continued moving her hand upwards, and beside the pillow, she touched a familiar pocket watch.
Li Xianglu examined the pocket watch seriously. Its casing was made of fine steel, with four quarter-carat diamonds, and the chain was platinum. Because it was frequently touched by its owner, its entire surface was very smooth.
Li Xianglu had a complex expression; this was the watch from her dreams.
