Chapter 197 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net



While Lu Jiaming was stunned, the man had already walked up to him slowly.

When their eyes met, for some reason, Lu Jiaming felt that these eyes became more and more familiar, as if he had seen them more than once.

But if he really was the man who secretly stayed in Xiaogu's yard last year, then in Lu Jiaming's memory, he should have only seen him once...

Where does this familiar feeling come from?

When the man came to him, he just paused and looked at him, then passed by him and continued walking forward.

Lu Jiaming opened his mouth to call him, but his voice was stuck in his throat. He stared blankly at his back as he walked away, then looked down at the note in his hand.

[I need to talk to you about something. If you want to know who I am, I'll meet you at the abandoned park behind Oriental Ginza at 4 o'clock.]

Lu Jiaming looked at the time. It was already three fifty. If he went to see him, he would definitely not be able to get home before Lu Zixiao and the others returned.

But he was really curious about the man's true identity, and if he was the one who slipped through the net around his aunt, it would be better to find out as soon as possible to avoid the truth being exposed and affecting Xiaobao and the others.

Just as he was concentrating on thinking with a frown on his face, Xiaobao came over after buying milk tea.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Xiaobao pouted, his expression a little complaining, "I called you several times just now, but you ignored me. I can hardly carry it anymore."

Lu Jiaming suddenly came to his senses and turned his head to see the little guy with his hands full of bags, staring at him with his big watery eyes without blinking.

"Let me do it, sorry, Xiaobao." Lu Jiaming quickly took it and put it all into a big bag.

It turns several bags into one bag. Although it is a bit heavy, it is indeed much more convenient.

Xiao Bao noticed the fleeting change in his emotions and couldn't help asking, "Fourth Brother, were you thinking about something just now?"

"No, I didn't think about anything." Lu Jiaming smiled, "I was just in a daze for a while."

"Oh..." Xiaobao responded half-heartedly, "Fourth brother, let's go home. Big brother and the others are almost done with school."

"Uh... well..."

Lu Jiaming hesitated and said hesitantly: "Xiaobao, please take a taxi and go home first. My friend...I have something urgent to ask me, so I may be home a little late."

Xiaobao looked up at him quietly and asked, "When will you be back?"

"Not necessarily," Lu Jiaming said casually. After he finished, he realized something was wrong and added, "It won't be too late. I will definitely be home before dinner."

Xiaobao stared at him silently for a long time, until Lu Jiaming felt a little guilty, and then the little guy pursed his lips, smiled, and nodded.

"Fourth brother, then you go, I can take a taxi myself"

"It's okay, it won't take a moment," Lu Jiaming said, "I'll leave after you get in the car."

Xiaobao smiled at him and said softly, "No need, Fourth Brother, I can do it myself, don't underestimate me."

"Go find your friend now, don't keep him waiting anxiously."

Lu Jiaming glanced at the time again. It was almost four o'clock. After much hesitation, he patted Xiaobao's head and said, "Okay, then you can quickly stop a car and go home. Just send me a message when you get there."

Xiaobao hummed softly and said nothing else.

He stared at the direction of Lu Jiaming's movement, memorizing it clearly in his head, and then gradually put away his smile and took on a stern face.

Something is wrong.

There's something really wrong with Fourth Brother.

Xiaobao's intuition told him that his fourth brother must be hiding something from him, and it was something very unusual.

So he made a decisive decision, and walked back to the milk tea shop with a big plastic bag in his hand. He looked at the two young ladies in the shop with eager eyes and spoke pitifully.

"Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"

"My brother had something to do and left in a hurry, so he left his phone here. I need to catch up with him and give it to him before he gets far away, but it's too heavy for me to carry. Can I leave it here with you?"

When they were buying milk tea just now, these two young ladies really liked to pinch his face and chatted with him for a long time. Now, as soon as he finished speaking, they immediately agreed.

"Of course, little brother, just leave it with us. We guarantee that nothing will be missing. Just remember to come back and get it with your brother."

"Okay, okay," Xiaobao said quickly, "Thank you, sisters. Sorry for bothering you."

After saying that, he waved his little hand and hurriedly ran towards Lu Jiaming, even using the same speed he used when he escaped last year.

Fortunately, when he chased to the side door of Oriental Ginza, he saw Lu Jiaming's back as he just turned into the abandoned park.

At this time, Xiaobao felt more and more that his decision to catch up was the right one.

Every time he moved forward, he became more certain that Lu Jiaming was lying. It was most likely that they were not some so-called friends looking for him. Even if they were, they would definitely not do anything good by coming to the abandoned park.

Xiaobao had been following him stealthily not far behind. When he saw Lu Jiaming stop, he also hid behind the wall, only looking over there with his big eyes.

Soon a tall man walked out and silently took off the mask on his face, revealing his entire face.

Lu Jiaming and Xiaobao were both shocked.

It’s A-Liu.

The sudden appearance of this person made Xiaobao feel an extremely strong bad premonition. Although he didn't know what would happen next, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone and sent a location to Lu Zixiao.
