Gu Ningning was startled, her hands trembled, and she lowered her head, waiting for Wei Qiao to grab her and take her away again.
But what I didn't expect was—
"Honey, why have you been inside for so long? Look, the hot coffee I bought for you is already too hot to handle! Hurry up, our plane is about to take off, we can't dawdle any longer!"
As she spoke, Gu Ningning was surrounded by a tall boy using his large down jacket, and they walked forward together, with a deep voice in her ear.
"Keep moving forward, don't look back, don't struggle, and try to act naturally, otherwise the people guarding outside will notice."
Gu Ningning tugged at his sleeve and moved closer to him, making them look just like a couple deeply in love.
The bodyguard glanced at them from across the street, assuming they were just a young couple being affectionate, then looked at his watch and frowned.
Just then, Wei Qiao came out of the restroom. Seeing that there was still only one bodyguard, he walked up to her with some displeasure and asked, "Gu Ningning hasn't come out yet?"
"Not yet, Brother Wei. We've been inside for almost half an hour. Isn't that a bit much?" The bodyguard was getting impatient.
"You were guarding the door the whole time, weren't you? You didn't leave for a single moment?" Wei Qiao asked.
"Don't worry about that, Brother Wei. After you went into the restroom, I didn't leave this place for a single moment. I didn't dare to look away from the direction of the door for even a second. I didn't even glance at my phone, just in case she ran away."
"Don't worry, Brother Wei, there's only one entrance and exit here. She has no chance of escaping!"
"Something feels off." Wei Qiao said, glancing again in the direction of the restroom, but the bodyguard insisted that he hadn't left, so Wei Qiao was temporarily relieved and continued to wait in the same spot.
After walking about two hundred meters, Gu Ningning's heart finally calmed down. Looking at the strange boy in front of her, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"
"My girlfriend texted me and told me the gist of the situation, hehe."
The boy raised his eyebrows smugly, "She told me that you paid her 10,000 yuan to exchange clothes with her. You can earn 10,000 yuan for something so simple, of course I have to help."
The person you contacted later called my girlfriend back, saying that if you could escape, they would transfer another 10,000 yuan to her.
"That's good, hehe. This time, Gu Qingyan is at least a decent person." Gu Ningning gave a mocking smirk and said to the boys, "They'll probably find out soon. Thanks, but if they do find out, just pretend you don't know anything and have never seen him before, okay?"
"Okay, okay." The boy nodded repeatedly. "Then I'll go back and see if my girlfriend has come out yet."
"Okay." Gu Ningning didn't want to linger, so she pulled her hat brim down even further and ran quickly toward the airport entrance.
At the entrance to the toilet.
"Something's not right. We've been in there for too long. I can't wait any longer." Wei Qiao noticed that no one had gone into the restroom for quite some time, so he quickly ran over, looked around, and found a sign that a cleaning lady would leave at the entrance when she was cleaning. He quickly picked it up and placed it at the restroom entrance, instructing the bodyguard, "If anyone tries to go in later, stop them. I'll go in and check."
The bodyguard agreed, and Wei Qiao went inside immediately.
The toilet was completely empty; there wasn't a single person in it.
"Gu Ningning?" Wei Qiao called out tentatively, but there was no response.
Wei Qiao suddenly had a bad feeling and strode towards the toilet stall.
There was no one at any of them, until the last door was locked from the inside.
"Gu Ningning, come out right now!" Wei Qiao knocked hard on the door with a cold face. "Hiding won't help! Come out now, the plane is about to take off."
"What are you doing?! Pervert!" The toilet stall door opened, and an unfamiliar girl stepped out, looking at Wei Qiao warily. She shouted, "How did you get into the women's restroom! I'm calling the police to report you for trespassing and attempting to assault me!"
Seeing that the girl was still wearing Gu Ningning's coat, Wei Qiao immediately understood. He grabbed her collar, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "Where did the girl who changed clothes with you go?"
"What?! I don't understand what you're saying?!" The girl tilted her head back defiantly. "Let me go right now! Or you might end up in jail!"
"Let me tell you! That girl is a fugitive. We finally caught her and were planning to secretly escort her back to the police station. If you let her go now, it will be considered harboring a criminal, and you'll be the one going to jail, do you understand?"
Wei Qiao moved closer, made up a lie in order to get the truth out of her, and looked at the girl with a cold threat.
Because of his natural advantages, Wei Qiao was tall and gave people a sense of uprightness and integrity. For a moment, the girl was also intimidated. She pursed her lips, unsure whether the person in front of her was a policeman.
"Fine, you wanted to call the police? Perfect, I'll call the police for you, we'll arrest you and take you to the police station for questioning, let's see how many years you're likely to get." Wei Qiao said, grabbing the girl's sleeve and pinning her hands behind her back.
"No, no! I'll tell you everything!" The girl was a naive student and was so frightened that she burst into tears on the spot. She screamed and confessed, "She gave me some money and told me to switch clothes with her and pretend to be her here. She would change into my clothes and hat and go out. My boyfriend would be waiting for her outside."
I really didn't know! That's not what she told me. She said she was being followed. I only thought of helping her because I was overwhelmed with a sense of justice!
"You think you can buy your sense of justice with money?" Wei Qiao let go of her hand and curled her lip in disdain. "Show me your phone and the transfer records you received."
The girl quickly took out her phone and handed it to Wei Qiao. "I heard her call the person on the phone 'brother,' so it must have been her brother who transferred the money."
Wei Qiao glanced at the information; the transferor was Huang Lin. She coldly replied, "I understand."
"Call your boyfriend now and ask him where the person I'm looking for is?"
The girl tremblingly took the phone and called her boyfriend. As soon as the call connected, she heard an excited voice coming from the other end.
"Honey, when are you coming out? I'm waiting for you outside, but I didn't rush you because I saw you were cleaning."
I've already seen them off, come out now...
The girl turned to look at Wei Qiao with a guilty conscience. Wei Qiao had obviously heard the conversation and walked out with a cold face.
As Wei Qiao reached the door, he immediately spotted the boy directly opposite the restroom and strode over to him.
