I tore off the jade pendant from my neck, and I stuffed it into that personâs hands. âThis is the compensation I give you. If you think itâs not enough, then go to Huanyuan and look for Tong Le. Name your price and I guarantee that he wonât bargain. Now I have to leave first. There are bad guys chasing after me!â
After I explained the matter clearly, I tried to squeeze past the four gorillas.
To my surprise, my wrist was grabbed by a warm and powerful hand.
I was shocked. I instinctively turned around to attack, but it was the man with sauce.
I was in the wrong, so I quickly retracted my stance. From the corner of my eye, I saw that Jing Ning had already rushed over with his blood-red eyes wide open.
âLetâs go! Iâll bring you out!â The man didnât wait for me to speak. He pulled me up and ran. The four gorillas made a path for me. As I ran, I turned around. They had already stopped Jing Ning.
I couldnât help but feel relieved.
The people at the restaurant all exclaimed in surprise. There were unsatisfied screams and curses.
I couldnât care less. The most important thing now was to go home.
I regretted going out on my own. However, there was noway to turn back time.
It was my own stupidity. I had just lived a few peaceful days and had already forgotten about being cautious. Who was I to blame?
When I got home, I didnât dare imagine how my little uncle, cousin Mo, and Jing Tian would scold me.
I stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and gently shook off the manâs hand. I had used up most of my energy in these few short moments. I needed to catch my breath. I needed to contact my men.
There must be someone from Sky City nearby. I just needed to send out the signal.
Speaking of which, I was a little troubled. I was the boss of Sky City, but not all of my subordinates knew me. It was even more impossible for me to know everyone in sky city.
Suddenly, my gaze fell on my wrist. That hand was still holding my wrist.
My gaze moved up and landed on the Sauce Manâs face.
His clothes were multicolored, but he was as calm as ever.
Even when I looked at him, he didnât let go of his hand. He was looking at me with a gentle smile.
I reached out to caress his hand. âSir, thank you. I have to go. I have to go home.â
âMiss Nanxing, itâs not safe yet. Why donât I send you back and visit Mr. Tong Le? We havenât seen each other for many years,â he said with a smile.
âYou know my uncle?â I couldnât believe it.
He nodded and even winked mischievously.
I wanted to pull my hand back but struggled a little. âAlright, Iâll bring you to him.â
He didnât let go of my wrist. He pulled me back and hugged me back naturally. âLetâs go.â
I stopped in my tracks. This time, I tried to pull my hand back, but I couldnât.
His grip wasnât tight, but I didnât manage to break free.
I looked at him in surprise. This time, I observed him carefully.
This person wasnât particularly tall. He was about half a head shorter than Jing Tian and the others, so I didnât feel pressured by his side just now.
I couldnât tell how old he was. He should be a little older than my little uncle.
He was quite handsome, but there was an unspeakable coldness in his smile.
My heart sank for no reason.
âWhatâs your surname, sir?â I asked in a deep voice.
My gaze swept past my kidnapped wrist.
His smile was still warm. âNanxing, my name is Wen Dian. I hope you can remember this name.â
âMr. Wen, please let go of your hand,â I said it directly.
