Chapter 558: Chapter 558 Did He Really Discover Her or Not_1
No sooner had the bodyguard finished speaking than Jian Yufei heard the sound of cars approaching from behind.
She turned her head to look, seeing two black sedans speeding her way.
The car lights shone bright, casting her silhouette to the eyes of the occupants of the car.
Ruan Tianling squinted his sharp eyes and ordered coldly, “Capture them!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Hurry!” The bodyguard quickened his pace, pulling her into an alleyway.
The car couldn’t enter the alley. Ruan Tianling stepped out of the car and swiftly followed, his men trailing closely behind. Jian Yufei could hear the hasty yet heavy footsteps behind her.@@@@
The alley’s path was rough and pot-holed and there was no streetlight.
Jian Yufei nearly stumbled several times. Her breath hurt from exhaustion, but she increased her speed again once she heard the footsteps drawing closer behind her.
“Where are the others?” She choked out a question to the bodyguard. She recalled that Xiao Lang left three people to protect her when he left.
“They tried to impede Ruan Tianling, it’s clear they’ve failed.”
Ruan Tianling kicked open another plank and stepped inside.
He wore a black trench coat, his glossy shoes making faint sounds as he walked. Jian Yufei held her breath and remained perfectly still, her hands slick with sweat from the gripping fear.
Ruan Tianling strolled leisurely, his pace unhurried. As he approached the box under which she was hidden, he lifted one foot. Jian Yufei was so scared that she almost screamed.
She thought he would kick open the box, but he just placed his foot on it.
Jian Yufei let out a sigh of relief but her heart was still pounding. Had he discovered her or had she stayed hidden?
Ruan Tianling took out a cigarette and lit it with a silver lighter.
He just stood there, not going anywhere, not doing anything, just quietly smoking.
After what seemed like an eternity, when Jian Yufei’s body had almost gone numb, Ruan Tianling’s men all returned empty-handed.
“Young Master, he got away, we couldn’t capture him!”
“Miss Jian is also missing, we couldn’t find her either.”
Ruan Tianling tossed the cigarette butt on the ground. The foot resting on the box returned to the ground, crushing the cigarette.
“Let them run. They might be able to escape me, but they cannot evade King Yama. I’ll make sure to add this debt to Xiao’s account.”
