Chapter 211
Edited, and proofread by anks
An Chuxia sits restlessly in the car . For the fifteenth time, she asks, “Steward Han, are we almost there?”
“Young madame, do not be anxious . We’re almost there . Ding Ning said he threw her here . ” The car barely stops when An Chuxia jumps out of the car .
She looks around for Lila, but she doesn’t even see a glimpse of her shadow . A stream of pedestrians mull around . Frustrated, she pulls a random pedestrian and asks her a question . “Auntie, did you notice an attractive girl cross here not too long ago?”
The forty-year-old woman eyes her from head to toe before replying impatiently . “You’re rather vague with your description… Tall, pretty girls fill these streets, right? You interrupted me… which attractive female are you looking for?”
She suppresses the urge to pull away . “I’m sorry . I’m rather impatient . That girl… . ”
“I, too, am impatient! Don’t you see me hurrying back to my card game?” The middle-aged woman breaks into a sinister smile, spreading the bright red lipstick across her face . She breaks free from An Chuxia’s grasp and leaves .
“What kind of a question is that, ah? Who do you think you are? Pretty girls… like I have all day!” The middle-aged woman curses angrily . She sinks lower than low . What is wrong with her? How disgusting!
Steward Han pulls An Chuxia away and says, “Little madame, don’t be angry . If you’re unhappy, I can immediately… say something to that woman . ” He traces his thumb across his neck like he is going to behead someone .
She couldn’t help but shudder . She hurriedly waves her hands . “No need, no need! Can’t you take a joke? I’m kidding, I’m kidding . ” She suddenly finds it hard to talk . How could someone talk about snuffing a life so easily? Seriously… Lila! Damn it! She almost forgot the reason why they’re here .
If it weren’t for her, Lila wouldn’t be thrown on the streets .
“Steward Han, help me find… wait, is this blood?” She frowns as she squats down in front of a pool of blood . She takes her index and middle finger and touches the liquid . It’s not animal blood . More so, the blood hasn’t coagulated . It means it’s fresh .
If her guess is right, where did Lila go? Last time they called Ding Ning, he said she was unconscious . Damn! Her heart is restless .
“Young madame, look… There’s another pool of blood here . And another there!” He points to the drops of blood meters away . “I guess, if you want to find Miss Lila, you should follow the blood trail . ”
She doesn’t wait for steward Han to say another word . She looks at the ground and follows the blood . They arrive at a narrow alley in the street . The blood disappears . She looks around the narrow lane . An Chuxia swallows hard, secretly hoping for a happier outcome . However, just as she was about to take a step, steward Han immediately stops her .
Steward Han suspects an untimely death when he sees several men, wearing black suits, looking around . She can’t help but think of worst case scenarios . She hides behind steward Han and asks, “What are we going to do?”
