Chapter 270 - 261: Missing
Jiang Xinhua hastily ran towards the alley and whistled upon entering. After receiving a response, he intentionally slowed down as he ran further in.
At this moment, Li Xianglu caught up and stood at the entrance of the alley shouting, "Stop running!"
Turning his head in feigned horror, Jiang Xinhua staggered backward upon seeing the person at the entrance of the alley, his face in disbelief, wondering to himself why Qin Xi was nowhere to be seen. Could he have gone to get reinforcements? No good. Then he threw himself forcefully to the ground from a distance, it looked as if he had been tripped up.
Usually, a pursuer would be glad to see the chased person tumble and would speed up to capture them, but Li Xianglu didn’t play by the rules and stayed put, tilting her head as she observed the person struggling to get up from the ground.
After waiting for a long while with no one approaching, Jiang Xinhua grew suspicious and looked around. He got up, pretending to be injured, and ran towards the interior of the alley. As soon as he turned a corner, he saw four or five people already standing to both sides, all in uniform, but they looked like waiters.
And at the back came a young man in a white short-sleeved shirt, dragging someone along.
Jiang Xinhua quickly realized that his people had been caught and instantly turned to run towards the alley entrance.
Li Xianglu still stood there, watching the inside. Even when she saw him running out, she didn’t budge. He was puzzled. The pursuers behind him were fast. He couldn’t worry about that – if he couldn’t escape, he would just seize Li Xianglu and threaten them.
But just as his hand reached out towards Li Xianglu at the mouth of the alley, she pulled out a black baton from behind her back. It crackled as she struck the onrushing Jiang Xinhua, and with a violent jolt, he was stunned, his body electrified, and he fell to the ground.
Three people emerged beside Li Xianglu, staring in surprise at the person lying on the ground and then at the black baton in Li Xianglu’s hand.
