Guide Her to Nowhere (NPH) - Chapter 22: Run
Chapter 22: Run
Shi Xi gripped Qu Tang very tightly. Qu Tang could not breathe. She was like a fish that had been stranded for a long time, her mouth opening and closing weakly, but unable to get even a tiny bit of the oxygen she needed to survive.
10 seconds, 9 seconds…
“Don’t hurry, Tang Tang. The drug effect will work quickly, you just need to hold on for ten seconds.”
You’re lucky, Shi Xi didn’t directly twist your neck. You can even risk using your feeble spiritual power to mislead his perception, your odds of success are high.
Hang in there, Tang Tang.
5 seconds, 4 seconds…
Suddenly, a light laugh sounded in the car, Shi Xi’s.
The hand strangling her neck slowly released, and she finally could breathe.
Shi Xi leaned close to her, wanting to kiss her.
“Run, hide, don’t let my brother find you.”
“I didn’t…”
Her consciousness left too quickly, Shi Xi’s words were not finished, his body also fell to the side, his last kiss just barely touching the corner of Qu Tang’s lips, quickly sliding across her cheek, missing.
Qu Tang survived the ordeal, panting for a while before sitting up. She looked at the unconscious Shi Xi lying on the seat, her mood complex.
This person Shi Xi was very contradictory. Whenever she thought she had found the logic behind his behavior, he would actively break that logic, she couldn’t understand him.
Fortunately, she didn’t need to understand him.
The drug she injected Shi Xi with was a highly effective sedative for sentinels, she wasn’t stupid enough to kill a young master of a prominent family.
Qu Tang quickly tidied herself up, found her phone, turned it on and called Yi Jin. But unexpectedly, Yi Jin’s call came in first.
“Qu Tang, is that you?”
“It’s me.” Qu Tang suppressed her choking. “I want to ask you a favor.”
A few minutes later, Qu Tang got out of the car with a backpack, said something to the partially open car door, then bowed, closed the door, and walked unhurriedly towards the fountain square.
The driver who had been guarding from a distance watched Qu Tang walk further away, hesitated for a moment, then went over. He had thought the young master wouldn’t let Qu Tang go, but it seems even young men’s thoughts are hard to guess.
As the driver walked towards the car, his gaze kept subconsciously watching Qu Tang. Suddenly, he saw Qu Tang running towards a black Hummer that had just arrived, and his mind went blank.
The young master is in trouble!
The driver rushed towards the car while making a gesture in the air.
Qu Tang jumped into Yi Jin’s car. “Hurry, there are sentinels!”
Yi Jin didn’t ask anything, he stepped on the gas, the car shot out like a cheetah. His spiritual power instantly spread out, and he indeed detected two S-rank sentinels rushing this way.
Yi Jin’s face grew cold, two sharp bursts of spiritual power shot towards the two, and by the time they evaded and continued the pursuit, the speeding Hummer had already disappeared into the traffic flow under Yi Jin’s spiritual shield.
“Don’t worry, they won’t catch up.” Yi Jin glanced at Qu Tang, the veins on his hand gripping the steering wheel standing out.
“Mm. Thank you.” Qu Tang’s heart dropped halfway.
“Are you… alright?”
Qu Tang had a strong aura of sentinels, and the foul smell of spikenard. It was not hard to imagine what she had just been through, there were even shocking purple fingerprints on her neck.
Who treated her like this?
“I’m fine.” Qu Tang changed the subject. “Where’s the thing I wanted?”
Yi Jin took a card from the storage box, it had Qu Tang’s identity information printed on it.
This was an A-level pass, with it Qu Tang could freely travel between the ten districts, excluding the central district.
It was very difficult for a third-class citizen to obtain an A-level pass, not only did it require money and connections, but it was also not guaranteed to be approved.
Yet Yi Jin had obtained it for her in just a few days.
Qu Tang took the card, a sincere smile appearing on her weary face for the first time in a while.
