Chapter 213: Human or ghost?
Song Beiyou glanced away, afraid of alerting the man and scaring him away.
I only watched it out of the corner of my eye.
Knowing that the newcomer was definitely not friendly, she could sense the greedy eyes behind the telescope and the hidden killing intent.
Thinking of this, she gently patted Qin Shuyao's arm, "Shuyao, my stomach is a little upset, I need to go to the restroom."
Qin Shuyao, with her forthright personality, replied, "Sure, I'll go with you."
Song Beiyou stopped her, "No need, you can wait here for Duan Yu, just call me when he gets back."
Qin Shuyao didn't think much of it. "Go ahead, but hurry up so some lecherous male classmates don't catch up with you."
Song Beiyou smiled and said, "Sure."
As soon as the words left her lips, she left the corner, left Qin Shuyao, and merged into the flow of people coming and going.
The further I walked, the faster my pace became.
The further they walked, the more blurred their figures became.
Even the man with binoculars on the upper floor of the library lost sight of him and could no longer be seen.
The man was the scarred man who had appeared at the abandoned factory that day. He had received orders to bring two of his men to take Song Beiyou back.
They used to completely disregard such tasks, after all, it was just a human life, easy!
But today was different; the scarred man hadn't expected Song Beiyou, who was seen through the binoculars, to be so beautiful.
He couldn't help but take a second look.
No wonder their Brother Xiong said he wanted to capture this woman alive this time.
But at this point, it's no longer a question of whether to capture him alive or not; the person is gone, gone right under his nose.
That shouldn't be the case; his binoculars are the latest model, capable of clearly tracking people to a fixed point.
Why can't I find him?
Oh no! What are we going to do now?
I confidently told Xiong Ge when I left home that I could finish in two hours, but now it'll probably take longer.
He said to his men, "We've lost track of the target. Let's go find him."
The three turned to leave.
Just then, as they turned and took a step, their target, Song Beiyou, stood behind them.
The three grown men, especially the scarred man, were so startled that they almost screamed their lungs out in the Imperial University library.
Fortunately, it was brought under control, preventing it from attracting public attention.
I don't know what happened, but Song Beiyou, whom we are going to capture alive today, is like a ghost, elusive and ethereal. Just now, he was clearly down there, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of them, so much so that he blurted out, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Song Beiyou felt that this scene was familiar; it was similar to the last time Liu Ting sent people to Jinxiu Manor to kill her.
It felt like a replay of the events, which made her feel very relaxed.
With his arms crossed, he looked at the people in front of him and said, "If you say it's a person, then it's a person; if it's a ghost, then it's a ghost!"
Outside, spring is in full bloom, and sunlight is streaming down the ground.
The weather is warm and pleasant, but here it's still just as bone-chillingly cold as it was two months ago.
The scarred man shuddered. "You, you, how did you get up here? I clearly saw you down there a few seconds ago. How could you get up so quickly?"
Song Beiyou took a step forward. "As fast as a ghost, right?"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it; once she did, the scarred man's legs went weak as mud.
"Is it really a ghost?" he asked.
Song Beiyou's expression immediately turned cold. He stepped forward again, patted him on the shoulder, and asked seriously, "Who sent you? What are you doing here?"
These words seemed to possess some kind of bewitching magic, causing the scarred man to immediately reveal the truth: "It was Brother Xiong. Brother Xiong sent us to capture you alive."
"Brother Xiong?" Song Beiyou mumbled, "Who is that? I don't know him."
The scarred man, "is our boss."
Song Beiyou's interest was piqued by the thought of capturing the enemy alive. "Take me to see it," he said.
"Huh?" The scarred man was confused, so he blurted out, "You're not running?"
Song Beiyou shook his head, a playful look appearing on his face. "I'm not running. I want to see why Brother Xiong wants to capture me alive."
Walk! "
...
Downstairs at the food street, Duan Yu returned carrying two cups of sugarcane juice.
After glancing around a few times, she asked, "Where's my aunt? Why are you the only one left?"
Qin Shuyao took a glass of sugarcane juice from Duan Yu's hand and took a big gulp. "My aunt was going to the restroom, but she called me halfway through and said she had something urgent to take care of and asked us to go back first."
Duan Yu didn't think much of it; they both trusted Song Beiyou implicitly. "Okay, let's go back too."
Qin Shuyao said, "Cousin, come walk back with me. I need to start dieting."
Duan Yu was extremely disgusted, "You never said you were on a diet when you were eating it."
"Which girl doesn't eat and drink her fill before dieting these days?!"
...
The two had no idea that Song Beiyou's departure wasn't because he needed to relieve himself, but because he was following the scarred man to that remote, abandoned factory.
Furthermore, after taking Song Beiyou into the car, the scarred man cautiously blindfolded her.
This is their rule, to prevent anyone from recognizing the way to their base.
At first, the scarred man was worried that Song Beiyou would not cooperate, but to his surprise, she readily accepted.
This struck him as odd.
In order to prevent anyone from backing out, or for any other strange things to happen, she pressed the accelerator pedal very fast.
The whole process took about thirty minutes, and then the car suddenly stopped.
"We're here! Get off!"
After the scarred man got out of the car first, he urged Song Beiyou to hurry up and then pulled her out of the car, tearing off the blindfold covering her eyes.
Back on my own turf, I felt completely fearless; the fear I had felt for Song Beiyou in the Imperial University Library had vanished entirely.
What a joke! The area around this abandoned factory is full of their own people. No matter how strange this woman named Song Beiyou is, she can't fight against the crowd.
"Let's go!"
The scarred man began to urge her on, showing no intention of showing any mercy.
Song Beiyou didn't care. He was urged to move forward while groping around in front of him in the abandoned factory.
No, it's not an abandoned factory at all.
When Song Beiyou was led inside, she could instantly tell what kind of business was taking place just from a wisp of gas floating by.
poison!
Toxic chemicals!
This abandoned factory is a misrepresentation; its dilapidated exterior belies a brightly lit interior filled with menacing thugs and the illegal activities taking place within.
Song Beiyou lowered her head and smiled.
Very good, this trip was worthwhile, and I also helped Zongzheng Qi with a favor along the way.
She continued following the scarred man, and soon she was caught at the door of an office.
The scarred man glanced at her, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
The next second, he opened the door with a wicked grin, "Brother Xiong, I've brought back the beauty you wanted."
