But just as he was about to leave, a tall and thin figure suddenly blocked his way like a ghost. Xiao Ning was startled and looked up. He saw the man in front of him with oily hair and powdered face, like a young actor on the stage. He was wearing a black fox fur coat, which made his figure more slender.
