Chapter 171 Escape is the Best Policy
The middle-aged man noticed Zhu Ziqing's surprised reaction.
A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes as he said softly, "Miss Su, my young master has put a lot of thought into you. He carefully selects these flowers every day, hoping to please you."
Su Yingxue's heart skipped a beat as she secretly wondered just who this young master was.
On the surface, however, he remained calm and composed: "Hmph, I don't even know who he is, what's the point of sending him flowers?"
The middle-aged man's gaze lingered on Su Yingyue's face.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that this woman was indeed as beautiful as a fairy and extraordinary. No wonder the young master was so fond of her.
He cleared his throat: "Miss Su, my young master is of noble status, and when the time is right, he will naturally meet with you. At this moment, he hopes that you can come with me."
Su Yingxue glanced around calmly.
Only then did he realize that, apart from himself, everyone else in the coffee shop was a man in black who had come in with the middle-aged man.
They were all fierce-looking and had burly figures like small hills.
A rough count revealed that there were more than a dozen people, each with a lithe build and a cold, stern gaze.
Alarm bells rang in her mind: Are these people here to arrest me?
Su Yingxue sat in the coffee shop, seemingly calm and composed, but her palms were actually covered in cold sweat.
She glanced at her phone discreetly; the screen showed the driver was already waiting at the door.
Feeling a little calmer, he secretly thought, "I need to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible."
But her mind worked quickly, and a sweet smile instantly bloomed on her face.
Then she said softly, "Since it is your young master's good intention, I will go with you."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, seemingly pleased with her tact: "Miss Su, please."
Su Yingxue appeared to obediently walk forward, but in reality, she secretly gripped the self-defense weapon hidden in her sleeve.
He kept an eye on the people around him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Looking up, he saw the men in black in the coffee shop staring at him.
The aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was well-trained and extremely powerful in combat.
Su Yingxue was glad that she had specially worn a pair of comfortable flat shoes today so that it would be easier to move around in the dark market.
She took a deep breath, stood up calmly, and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.
As she passed the men in black, her heart was in her throat, but thankfully they seemed completely unaware of her presence.
Su Yingxue was secretly delighted: "They are indeed well-trained, but they have given me an opportunity."
Her pace quickened unconsciously, her eyes eagerly searching for the car to pick her up.
They were now some distance away from the man in black.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yingxue flashed and quickly blended into the bustling crowd on the street.
Like a nimble fish weaving through the crowd, ready to seize the opportunity to escape.
"Stop! Don't run!" The man in black behind him finally realized something was wrong and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Su Yingxue dared not linger and ran away immediately.
In an instant, passersby were knocked off their feet, and complaints rose and fell, creating a chaotic scene.
But this chaos became her best cover, relying on her familiarity with the surrounding environment and her agile skills.
Before long, Su Yingxue successfully shook off the man in black and disappeared into the vast crowd.
The men in black chased the crowd to a sparse area, then looked at each other, their faces full of frustration, as they stared at the empty road ahead.
The middle-aged man stood there, dejected and full of regret: "That woman, she's too clever!"
He gritted his teeth, took out his phone, dialed a number, and said with a hint of trepidation, "Young Master, Su Yingxue has run away."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a calm yet somewhat mysterious voice came through: "Understood. Just keep an eye on her movements."
The middle-aged man was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, we've gone through so much trouble, are we just going to let her go like this?"
The young master smiled slightly, seemingly with a deeper meaning: "She is no ordinary person. It was expected that she would run away. Just keep a close eye on her."
The middle-aged man hung up the phone, filled with confusion, and felt even more that the young master was unfathomable.
There seemed to be some mystery hidden behind this matter that he couldn't see through.
Su Yingxue hid in a secluded alley, panting heavily.
He patted his chest, still shaken. "That was close. I almost got caught. But what exactly is this mysterious young master up to?"
She steadied herself, and her gaze became firm again.
She was prepared to continue searching for Wei Hao's whereabouts, and no matter how thorny the road ahead, she would never back down for Tan Zhengchu's sake.
Su Yingxue crouched low, like a wary cheetah, weaving left and right through the streets and alleys.
After confirming that no suspicious persons were following him, he quickly ran towards the location he had agreed upon with the driver.
As soon as she got in the car, she said urgently, "Xiao Liu, hurry, get out of here as fast as you can!"
As he spoke, he kept turning his head back, nervously scanning the area behind him through the car window, his eyes full of vigilance.
Xiao Liu stepped on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow.
After driving for a while, Xiao Liu looked in the rearview mirror and observed the surroundings.
With a hint of suspicion and worry in his voice, he said to Su Yingxue, "Miss Su, don't worry, no car is following us now, so we're safe for the time being. But this place is unpredictable, and trouble might arise again at any time, so you have to be extra careful."
Su Yingxue's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and she nodded: "Thanks to you, Xiao Liu, I really wouldn't feel at ease without your vigilant eyes."
After catching her breath, Su Yingxue sat up straight, her gaze calm: "Xiao Liu, next we'll go to the border town's dark market."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his face showing concern: "Miss Su, the dark market is a very chaotic place, a melting pot of all sorts of people, you could run into anything there. What are you going there for? It's too dangerous!"
Su Yingxue smiled, her expression calm: "I know you mean well. Don't worry, I'm not going to cause trouble. I just want to find out where Wei Hao is. Only with clues can we resolve the trouble sooner and protect my family."
Hearing this, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel more admiration for Ms. Su, and his voice softened: "Ms. Su, your concern for your family is truly touching. Don't worry, I will drive carefully on the road and do my best to protect you."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Su Yingxue's eyes: "Xiao Liu, thank you for your kindness. It's so nice to work with you."
The car sped along the road, and Su Yingxue looked out the window with a seemingly calm expression.
But he knew in his heart that the third brother's men were following him at a distance.
Like an invisible safety barrier, it gave her more confidence.
Despite knowing the dangers of the dark market, Su Yingxue clenched her fists and secretly vowed: even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I have to venture in to find Wei Hao!
Xiao Liu caught a glimpse of Su Yingxue's determined expression in the rearview mirror, and then...
He said no more, focusing intently on the road conditions, his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel.
All I wanted was to get Su Yingxue to her destination as quickly and safely as possible.
Outside the car window, the city scenery rushed past.
But what awaits Su Yingxue on the road ahead are the many unknowns and dangers hidden in the dark market.
She took a deep breath, ready to face any challenge.
