She sent the question "Are you okay?" but expectedly received no reply.
The bar street in the old town is still lively and noisy late at night.
Several young people were holding beer bottles and chatting under the street lamp. They were wearing very thin clothes, as if they couldn't feel the cold.
There were also people coming in and out of various bars with different expressions.
Xie Yuqing quickly found the bar that Jiang Shirley mentioned. Just as she was about to go in, she saw a drunk woman who was unconscious being pulled out by two men. Her hands were obviously eating tofu.
Xie Yuqing had already walked over, but after taking another look, she realized that the one being dragged out was Shirley Jiang.
She immediately chased after him, stopped him and said, "What are you doing? Where are you taking my friend?"
Both men are in their early thirties, average-looking and not tall.
One of them had red hair permed and said in a nonchalant manner with a gangster tone, "What is your friend? This is my friend, please get out of the way."
Naturally, Xie Yuqing couldn't get out of the way, so she took out her cell phone and threatened, "If you don't let my friend go, I'll call the police now."
Upon hearing this, the two of them got scared, handed them over to her and ran away.
No matter how skinny Jiang Shirley was, she was still an adult, and she was so drunk that she was unconscious. Xie Yuqing called out twice but got no response, and she couldn't hold on anymore and almost fell to the ground with everyone else.
But he was supported by others.
Xie Yuqing turned around to look, but unexpectedly she saw a pair of beautiful smiling eyes.
She was startled, but Zhou Yueying smiled at her and said, "Long time no see, Miss Xie."
The cold windy riverside.
The neon lights marking the high-rise buildings have dimmed, and the nearby viewing paths are deserted. Occasionally, one or two cars speed past, making a bumpy sound in the silent night, passing by in an instant.
There was a red sports car parked on the side of the road. Shirley Jiang slapped her mouth twice on the passenger seat, turned around unconsciously and continued to sleep.
Xie Yuqing turned her head and glanced from a distance, and asked the person in front of her, "Do you like to attack people around me?"
Zhou Yueying glanced around, took off the things in her ears, and then said to her with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in that woman. I'm here to see you today."
"Have you found the person who poisoned you?"
"No." Zhou Yueying carried Jiang on her back and leaned against the corner of the railing. This position allowed her to immediately spot the people approaching her.
She said seriously, "But I found someone following you."
Xie Yuqing smiled, "No, it's so lively around me."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Zhou Yueying reminded her, "She's not one of ours."
"You Xingluo are not the only ones who want the Star of Bethany." Xie Yuqing said, "I think this is good. You will check and balance each other, and I will be safe."
"Zhong Yao is dead." Zhou Yueying said, "Do you know whose handiwork it was?"
"You know?" Xie Yuqing asked.
Zhou Yueying observed her expression carefully, but couldn't tell any clues. She couldn't help but said, "I only got the news in the afternoon. According to the intelligence, it was Aric who did it."
Xie Yuqing opened her mouth, feeling confused as she spoke, "Aric? This name sounds familiar."
"Aric Russell, the current head of the Russell family." Zhou Yueying said, "You have crossed paths before."
Xie Yuqing showed a thoughtful expression, "It seems that I added a friend...but I thought it was a character I imagined."
The sincere surprise on her face made Zhou Yueying slightly relieved, but she said, "Sir, I think the big star next to you is related to Aric. You... pay attention to your safety."
