Chapter 550: Almost Dead (3)
“Why don’t we go back and take a look.” Shen Miao said, “You just left. If it falls, the people at the restaurant should be able to pick it up. I’ll go with you to take a look.”
Feng An Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll go by myself. It's just a matter of a word anyway. If I don't find it, then forget it. It's not that I'd waste the two coins. It's just that it's so rare to come across someone I like so much."
Luo Tan was speechless. Feng Anning was truly wealthy. Actually, while the Feng family was wealthy, they weren't exactly extravagant. It was simply because they truly loved their daughter, Feng Anning, and they never lacked money. As a result, Feng Anning herself had no memory of money. When she lost something, her first reaction was, "It's so rare to meet someone I love so much."
"I'll take a few guards up to take a look." Feng An Ning said, "Wait here for me, I'll be down soon."
Shen Miao nodded. Feng An Ning took most of his guards with him, probably to show off his power. If the waiters in the restaurant picked up something and tried to hide it, they would probably be scared by Feng An Ning's actions.
After Feng An Ning left, only Luo Tan and Shen Miao were left. Four guards were still guarding outside. Luo Tan looked up at the sky and said, "By the time An Ning comes back, it will probably be dark by the time we return to the mansion." He stretched and said, "I'm really tired today. I'm going to get up tomorrow and no one should disturb me."
Shen Miao was silent. She didn't know who had said excitedly that they would have fun like this again next time.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a guard outside say, "Miss Shen, Miss Luo, I just found your hairpin."
"What?" Luo Tan was stunned. He lifted the carriage curtain and saw a guard standing outside the Feng Mansion holding a glittering jewel hairpin. If it wasn't the cat's eye hairpin that Feng An Ning had lost, what else could it be?
Luo Tan frowned: "How could An Ning be so reckless that she didn't even notice the things she dropped on the ground."
The guard took two steps towards the carriage, and Luo Tan reached out to take the hairpin.
Just as he grasped the hairpin, the guard suddenly pulled Luo Tan out!
Another guard from the Feng residence suddenly jumped onto the carriage, knocked the driver to the ground, and whipped the horses hard. Several horses felt the pain, suddenly raised their hooves, and ran wildly on the street in shock!
All this happened so fast that even the other two Feng Mansion guards were unable to react. By the time they did, Shen Miao and the carriage had already run more than ten meters away!
Fortunately, Luo Tan was still on the carriage. She reacted quickly, clinging firmly to the side of the carriage as the guard pulled her out, leaning back. This was a time of critical moments, and the guard, unable to pull her off, didn't bother trying to stop her. Instead, he jumped onto another horse and raced with the carriage out of the city.
There were many people on the street, all of them were stunned by the reckless carriage. Some vendors were unable to dodge and their shops were overturned along with their people, but they did not know which carriage was so arrogant. The carriage was moving very fast, and Shen Miao and Luo Tan were thrown around in the carriage.
At the critical moment, Luo Tan still remembered to hold Shen Miao's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, little cousin. Let's jump out of the carriage and reveal our identities. There are so many people outside, they will definitely be a little wary!"
Shen Miao felt a slight warmth in her heart. She was thrown into the carriage and her whole body was out of control, but she said, “It’s too late. Look outside.”
Luo Tan clung to the carriage bed and looked out, stunned. The familiar streets were gone. The alleys were crooked and deserted. She had no idea where this road led. Despair suddenly surged in Luo Tan's heart. If she had just tried to jump out of the carriage, she might at least have saved her life. But in an instant, the place was deserted. Even if she jumped out of the carriage, she would be at the mercy of others.
