Returning to the hotel, Green Qi quickly checked out after taking a shower. It was uncomfortable to stay in the same hotel as Mu Tongzi; although they had already drawn a line, it was still awkward whenever they met.
Upon receiving a call from Su Jimo, her heart finally settled. Fortunately, that girl had safely descended the mountain; otherwise, tomorrow's Art Exhibition would be leaderless.
She informed Su Jimo about checking out, and immediately, Su Jimo insisted on picking her up and not letting her stay at the hotel.
After dinner, Green Qi briefly looked through the catalog for tomorrow's Art Exhibition to get a general idea of its content before grabbing her bag and heading out. She planned to take a stroll; being alone was simply boring.
While changing clothes, she instinctively reached for the Bracelet. After hesitating for a moment, she took it off and put it in her bag.
She had visited L City several times during her university days, so she was quite familiar with the area. Walking alone on the brightly lit streets, she was unaware that danger was approaching.
When she reached a small alley, a few thugs blocked her path. Normally, at this time, the area would be safe. However, due to the rain, there were fewer people on the street, and those thugs had been drinking. They shouted, "Hand over everything valuable you have; otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Two of them stepped forward and grabbed her arms. "What are you doing? Let go!" She quickly reacted and kicked at the man in front of her, catching him off guard and knocking him to the ground.
Instantly, the thugs became furious and rushed at her while cursing. To be honest, these men couldn't get close to her. She kicked off her high heels and was thankful she wasn't wearing a skirt. With a few beautiful spinning kicks, the thugs fell to the ground, howling in pain and begging for mercy.
Taking a deep breath, Green Qi blinked her bright eyes that sparkled with light. "If you choose this life, you must pay the price; good people don’t become bad." She kicked the man beneath her feet, picked up her bag, and dusted it off.
What a terrible day; nothing had gone smoothly.
In the shadows, Mu Tongzi witnessed this scene. He had just finished dinner at his grandfather's house when he saw her at the intersection and followed out of curiosity. Seeing her in danger, he initially wanted to help but was taken aback when he saw how she effortlessly took down several men all by herself.
It seems he underestimated her.
The investigation materials sent by Xia Yu indicate that she is a returning architectural designer, and her marriage to Jiang Chengmu is a business alliance. Everything appears to be fine, but just now, her agile skills, exceptional courage, and the swift method she used to escape that day all suggest she is not an ordinary woman.
He suddenly recalled the two historical gaps in the documents, his dark eyes reflecting deep thoughts.
"Mr. Mu, was the show entertaining?" Damn it, not only did he stand by and do nothing, but he was also enjoying the spectacle.
"It was quite thrilling; I'm glad I followed."
"Why are you following me? I remember we don't have much of a relationship." Green Qi was annoyed; having already distanced herself, he still came to provoke her.
"Relationships can develop from nothing. Besides, we already have a connection, and it's quite significant." He spoke with a smile that seemed both amused and enigmatic.
In the night, he resembled a leopard hiding deadly intent, yet his smile was so gentle and harmless—
