Chapter 98: Meeting on a Narrow Road



Originally, Xu Miaomiao planned not to go back to her grandfather's house for the time being. After all, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it would be very troublesome to go back and forth.

But Chen Chen didn't come back for three days in a row, and Zhang Hua still came to deliver different meals every day. The food he brought was all things that her family usually couldn't afford to eat. She felt embarrassed and couldn't stay any longer.

So early that morning she found the young soldier who was responsible for driving out to buy things. When the young soldier saw her belly, he immediately asked cautiously.

"Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

For the past six months, she had been riding in his car whenever she went out. Xu Miaomiao had become so familiar with him that she wanted to sit in the truck bed just by saying hello.

The young soldier stopped her in fear. How could he let her sit in the truck bed at this time? What if something happened due to the bumpy ride?

"Sister-in-law, I'm going out by myself today. There's a place to sit in the front. Please sit in the front!"

It would be even better to have a comfortable place to sit. Xu Miaomiao is not the kind of person who likes to abuse herself, so she readily accepted his suggestion.

When they arrived in the city, it was just past the rush hour and there were not many people on the streets.

Xu Miaomiao said something to him and prepared to have breakfast before going back to her grandfather's house.

As she turned a corner, she saw a ragged child running towards her.

Xu Miaomiao is heavier now, and her movements are not very agile, so she can't dodge at all.

The child quickly dodged Xu Miaomiao and hid behind her. Then she felt a sharp object against her lower back.

"Come with me and don't make any noise!" A deep voice came from behind. It was not the voice of a child at all.

As he spoke, he moved the tip of the knife forward threateningly. Xu Miaomiao could already feel the sharp tip of the knife piercing through her thin summer clothes and pressing against her skin.

She didn't dare to move, so she could only obediently follow his footsteps and retreat into a small alley.

As she retreated, she saw out of the corner of her eye several men coming out from across the street. They were soldiers in plain clothes, looking for someone on the street.

The reason she recognized them as soldiers, besides their movements and figures, was mainly because she saw Chen Chen.

But before she could say anything, she was pulled into a small alley, and then she saw the man's appearance clearly.

Judging from his appearance, he is a boy about ten years old, just above Xu Miaomiao's waist, probably about 1.34 meters tall.

But after meeting his eyes, Xu Miaomiao knew that this was definitely not a child, because that kind of look was not what a child should have.

He was crazy and bloodthirsty. When he looked at Xu Miaomiao, he didn't look at a human being, but at a dead object.

Xu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that this person wanted to kill her!

She pretended to be scared and asked tremblingly, "You...what do you want to do? I'll give you all the money, just let me go..."

The man sneered after hearing this and asked, "Is your husband a soldier? I saw you get off the military vehicle."

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued his analysis, "Since he can join the army, he should be an officer. If they don't want me to live, I will take the lives of his wife and children!"

When Xu Miaomiao heard him say this, she knew that a fight was about to begin. It seemed that pretending to be pitiful was useless to him.

Before he could make a move, Xu Miaomiao quickly reached out and touched the knife, putting it into the space.

He very carefully chose the lake as the place to put it away. The man felt that the knife in his hand was gone.

He looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise and doubt, and he began to suspect that this woman was a monster.

While he was distracted, Xu Miaomiao reached out and took him into the space.

Considering that he had just wanted to kill her, Xu Miaomiao was also very vindictive and chose Chen Chen's collection room as his landing point.

That was the dark room that Chen Chen had hired security experts to build specially. All his collections over the years were there.

There are ten-centimeter steel plates on all four sides, with only one exit that can only be opened from the outside. The password is sixteen digits.

Xu Miaomiao thought viciously, starve this bastard to death! Let him threaten me!

Xu Miaomiao calmed down. When she came out of the alley, Chen Chen and the others were still looking for someone on the street.

When he saw her, Chen Chen was startled and hurried over to ask.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Miaomiao looked around to see if anyone noticed them, and asked quietly, "Are you looking for a little boy?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen immediately asked seriously, "Where did you see him?"

Xu Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to take this opportunity to confess to him about the space.

But this was obviously not the place to talk, so I had to tell him, "I know where he is, but I can't let anyone else know except you."

"You must find a time to come to my grandfather's house. I have something to tell you then."

Although Chen Chen was anxious to catch someone, seeing her serious expression, he finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, go to grandpa's house first, I'll come find you as soon as possible."

After saying that, he reunited with his men and went to look for someone else.

Xu Miaomiao didn't even bother to eat breakfast and hurried to her grandfather's house.

She thought Chen Chen should be here before tonight, but unexpectedly, she had to wait for three days.

It was not until the evening of the third day that Chen Chen, exhausted from travel, finally arrived.

He put on his military uniform again, his eyes were bloodshot, probably because he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

He didn't immediately ask Xu Miaomiao where that person was, but instead sat on the sofa and chatted with his grandparents as if nothing had happened.

It was Xu Miaomiao who went over and pulled him up, saying to her grandparents, "Grandpa and grandma, he just came back from a mission."

"Looks like he hasn't had a good rest in a few days. I'll take him upstairs to rest first. You don't need to call us when you eat."

After saying that, without waiting for grandpa and grandma to speak, he pulled Chen Chen and ran upstairs to his room.

She brought the man into the house, locked the door, and then lay on the door and listened for a long time. Seeing that no one followed, she turned around with relief.

Xu Miaomiao looked at him seriously and said, "I'm going to tell you a secret that may overturn your worldview."

"I can only tell you this secret. You must help me keep it secret. If you tell others, I might die."

Chen Chen nodded cautiously. He had thought of various possible outcomes in the past few days, and even considered the possibility that Xu Miaomiao might also be an undercover enemy spy.

He felt that he had prepared himself mentally well in the past two days, but after hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, he still felt unbelievable.

He thought that Xu Miaomiao might have gone crazy, or he might have been hallucinating because he hadn't slept for several days.
