"Kind person, kind person? Hey, kind person?"
The man caught up with the two of them in a few quick steps and called out to them patiently from behind.
The two people in front of him never turned around, as if they couldn't hear him.
Until the man quickened his pace and stood in front of them.
The man's pale face had regained its color from running so frantically; his complexion was rosy and radiant, showing no sign that he was on his last breath.
The man in front of them was none other than Chen Qingmo, the young man who had been chased and killed by the "Two of Spades".
Chuanliu stopped in her tracks. She pushed up her sunglasses, put her arm around Zhuiming's waist, and said in a coquettish tone, "Darling, who is this person? Why did he suddenly block our way? I'm so scared."
If Zhui Ming weren't wearing a mask, you would definitely be able to see his twitching lips right now.
He said to Chen Qingmo in a domineering voice, "Hey! Who are you? You're scaring my woman!"
Chen Qingmo was clearly taken aback when he saw the two people's frontal attire. He wanted to get closer to take a closer look at the woman next to Zhui Ming, but she hid behind Zhui Ming, as if she was really frightened.
"Hey! What are you doing, kid?" Zhui Ming roared in dissatisfaction.
Chen Qingmo quickly cleared her throat and bowed to the two men, saying, "Thank you both for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have died in this deep mountain forest."
This is just illogical and they're forcing themselves to act...
Chuanliu rolled his eyes inwardly, but outwardly maintained an arrogant and rude demeanor, scolding, "What nonsense are you spouting? We've never seen you before! Darling, I think he's just after your money and trying to scam us! Let's go, ignore him!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhui Ming and prepared to leave.
Chen Qingmo stepped forward first, blocking their path once again. As if he had made up his mind, he said firmly, "That's right! It's you! If it weren't for this beautiful lady passing by and giving me hope for life again, I wouldn't have been able to regain consciousness so quickly."
Seeing that the two remained silent, he continued, "You two look somewhat familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Zhuiming interrupted him, shoved him aside, and said unhappily, "Where did this beggar come from, using such an old-fashioned way to strike up a conversation? Get lost, get away from us."
Chen Qingmo seemed not to have heard his order to leave, and continued to talk incessantly: "Since fate has brought us together, I should obey its will! My benefactors, let me follow you!"
Chuanliu was speechless for a moment. She genuinely felt that, according to Chen Qingmo's ingenious logic, she would be very suitable to join Jin Rugo's team.
If they still can't sense Chen Qingmo's purpose, then they don't need to continue going to the City of Spades.
"You're insane!"
Chuanliu complained, then chose to bypass Chen Qingmo and continued walking forward hand in hand with Zhuiming.
Chen Qingmo wasn't annoyed and chased after him relentlessly, calling out, "My benefactor! Wait for me!"
Thus, a trio of a wealthy man, a wealthy woman, and a man who appeared to be their henchmen appeared on the edge of the City of Hearts.
Even in its peripheral locations, it retains the characteristics of the City of Hearts.
This is a small town, but it has everything you need. All the entertainment facilities found in the heart of the City of Hearts are here, albeit in a much smaller, more rudimentary version.
The two chose a restaurant that looked a bit expensive, but wasn't very crowded.
There were no customers in the restaurant, and it was very quiet inside. The only waiter in the restaurant stood at the front desk, looking bored. When he saw the three of them, he greeted them warmly.
Meanwhile, Chen Qingmo chattered behind the two, "Benefactors, what are your names? I'm Chen Qingmo, from now on I'll be your little brother, okay? Benefactors, how long have you two been together? What are you doing in Red Peach City...?"
Zhui Ming frowned. Originally, the two of them could evade the pursuit for a while by changing clothes, but now that they had a mobile loudspeaker, everyone would listen in their direction, and it was only a matter of time before they were exposed.
Is this Chen Qingmo's purpose in following them?
Zhuiming gripped his chopsticks tightly, ready to stab Chen Qingmo in the throat and end him. However, the next second, he felt a cold touch on his hand. Chuanliu, while ordering from the waiter, seemingly casually placed his hand on Zhuiming's.
Zhuiming's tense muscles relaxed instantly, indicating that Chuanliu already had an idea.
After noting down the dishes, the waiter went back to the kitchen, leaving three people behind again.
Chuan Liu suddenly turned to Chen Qingmo, breaking the brief silence, and asked with a displeased expression, "You said we are your benefactors, and you are willing to follow us?"
Seeing that the woman had relented, Chen Qingmo nodded repeatedly.
The girl continued, "Okay, you can come with us, but we won't pay you a salary, and we won't take care of your food, clothing, or lodging. Are you still willing?"
Chen Qingmo's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I'm willing."
The girl's lips curled into a smile, leaving everyone somewhat puzzled.
Just then, the dishes Chuanliu ordered arrived, and the waiter stared at her intently, as if trying to confirm something.
She looked at the waiter, who had been replaced, and asked, "Where's the waiter from before?"
The latter immediately lowered his head and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "He suddenly feels unwell. Is there anything the guest needs? You can tell me."
The girl waved her hand, still feigning an arrogant demeanor, and urged, "Hurry up and serve the food."
The waiter nodded and left.
Chuanliu handed the chopsticks to Chen Qingmo and said with a smile, "You eat first."
Zhui Ming realized that they were treating Chen Qingmo like a eunuch, using him to test for poison before meals.
Chen Qingmo chuckled dryly twice, took the chopsticks, and started eating. As if expressing his dissatisfaction, he swallowed large mouthfuls, seemingly wanting to finish all the food.
Then, the second and third dishes arrived.
Seeing that Chen Qingmo had finished testing the poison with a mournful expression and showed no unusual symptoms, Chuanliu and Zhuiming finally picked up their chopsticks.
Before long, the two had finished eating and drinking and were ready to pay the bill and leave.
At this moment, a second waiter came over. He had a smile on his face and seemed to be carefully checking the dishes, but the shifty look in his eyes made him seem very suspicious.
Zhuiming stared intently at the waiter's movements, noticing his hand subtly sliding under the bill, as if plotting something.
Suddenly, he pulled his hand out sharply, revealing a sharp fruit knife in his hand.
Without hesitation, the waiter brandished his knife and thrust it straight at Chuanliu, who was only an arm's length away from him.
"careful!"
Chen Qingmo, who was sitting on the far side, reacted quickly. His chopsticks shot out like lightning, trying to pry open the sharp blade.
However, the waiter cunningly changed the direction of his attack, turning the blade and thrusting it horizontally towards the stream.
