"Of course not!" Xu Qigang paid the bill and turned to leave. Upon exiting the shop, he reached the jeep parked at the alley entrance and didn't see any sign of Sheng Ning.
Xu Qigang's usually calm and even somewhat cold heart suddenly panicked, a feeling that was foreign to him. It was difficult for him to accept, yet he found it oddly delightful.
"Xiao Ning."
The sky had completely darkened, and since it was the fifth day of the lunar month, even the crescent moon provided little light.
Xu Qigang was anxious to find someone.
"Xiao Ning..." As he passed the alley entrance, he suddenly sensed a figure approaching. His first reaction was to strike lightning-fast, aiming for the opponent's vulnerable spot.
