Chapter 485: The Elusive Person
Lin Yilan was really in no mood. Her heart was sore that her nose felt sore, but she forced herself not to cry. She would never let a stranger see her loss. "I'm fine."
Chen Xiang had already noticed the group of people gathered behind him. Seeing that the situation was not good, he squatted down and moved closer to Lin Yilan, continuing to ask, "Are you really okay? Something seems to be happening over there."
Lin Yilan curled her lips and said, "I'm really fine." She deliberately widened the distance between them.
They were not familiar with each other, and Lin Yilan felt there was no need to talk to him too much.
Chen Xiang noticed her indifference and didn't rush to build a relationship with her. He just kept his distance and continued to ask, "If you really have something, you can tell me. It's not good to endure it alone, right?"
Lin Yilan didn't really care about the concern of strangers. Chen Xiang's familiarity was especially alarming. Lin Yilan really didn't want to get too close to him.
In particular, she could see that Chen Xiang always looked at her with greedy eyes, and she always felt like she was his prey, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
This kind of man suddenly helps you when you first meet him, then teases you and even says that he is interested in you.
Nowadays, this method of pursuing girls is inevitably a bit old-fashioned.
Lin Yilan couldn't help but start to doubt him. Did Chen Xiang really save her unconsciously?
When we first met that day, was it really... a coincidence?
"You don't look like you're okay." Chen Xiang wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Lin Yilan was getting a little impatient. She had just experienced the pain of losing her milk tea shop, and now she really didn't have the heart to chat too much with someone she didn't know.
I stood up, patted my clothes and straightened them, then said thank you politely but awkwardly: "Sorry, I have to go first, I have something else to do."
Chen Xiang also stood up, his eyes still full of greed, staring at Lin Yilan. She felt uncomfortable, but couldn't avoid it: "Why are you always so anxious to leave?"
Lin Yilan didn't want to answer, nor did she care about Chen Xiang's attempts to keep her. But just as she turned around, she heard Chen Xiang ask, and she froze in her tracks: "Have you been investigating the Flower Cult recently?"
Lin Yilan was shocked. How could Chen Xiang know this?
Was he secretly investigating me? Was our first meeting that day truly more than a coincidence?
Lin Yilan was wondering when she saw Chen Xiang walking up to her.
That ruffian smile bloomed on his face again, and the light in his eyes seemed to look at Lin Yilan from head to toe.
Lin Yilan felt more and more that something was wrong, but when she heard about the Flower Sect, she couldn't help but talk to him: "How did you know I was investigating this? Who are you? Do you know about the Flower Sect?"
Chen Xiang became mysterious and put his hand to his lips and made a sound.
Lin Yilan looked behind her and saw a group of people still watching, and it seemed that the firefighters had finished investigating the clerk.
At the signal of a store clerk, the firefighters walked towards her.
Lin Yilan was in no mood to face those people's questioning, because she herself couldn't guess what had happened.
Chen Xiang found an excuse for her, "Do you dare to go to the same place with me?"
Lin Yilan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, thinking that she wanted to leave anyway.
She didn't show any sign of being afraid. "Where do you want to take me?"
"Ms. Lin." The firefighter had already walked behind them and patted Lin Yilan on the shoulder. Lin Yilan was startled and turned back to look at the firefighter awkwardly. "I have something to take care of. We'll contact each other later."
The firefighters looked embarrassed, but they could only watch her leave alone.
Lin Yilan followed Chen Xiang and walked a little further away. Although she was not afraid, she was still worried that Huo Juncheng was worried about her situation.
The fire in the milk tea shop had been reported in the news, and Huo Juncheng had probably seen it. Having experienced so many things, she wanted to explain to Huo Juncheng before doing anything, so she took out her cell phone.
"What's wrong? A heroine of this generation still needs help?" Chen Xiang suddenly laughed at her.
Lin Yilan looked at him and said, "You think too much."
"Yeah?"
Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows, "A single person wouldn't understand."
Chen Xiang's face was bitter: "Not many words, but great harm."
Lin Yilan laughed: "Are you really a single dog?"
Chen Xiang smiled but said nothing.
Lin Yilan opened her phone screen. Chen Xiang leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect that a female warrior of this generation would be afraid of me? I don't know martial arts, and I can't beat you, so what are you afraid of?"
Lin Yilan had a questioning look on her face, and even felt a little scared inside: "How do you know I know martial arts?"
Chen Xiang stared at her for a moment, and just now he blurted out what happened in the city and almost exposed something.
He avoided her sight, laughed dryly, and opened his mouth to explain something nonsense.
"That's not because your deeds have been broadcast on the news many times."
"You're a celebrity on the News Federation. If I don't know you, wouldn't I seem out of touch?"
"And there are people online posting endless praises about you, saying you're a legendary female warrior and incredibly awesome."
“I was thinking…”
Regardless of Chen Xiang's mumbling, Lin Yilan still felt that it would be better to send a message to Huo Juncheng.
I ignored him and lowered my head to my phone, tapping on the keyboard and typing the next sentence.
send.
"I have something to take care of. Could you send Gao Long to accompany me?"
After a while, Huo Juncheng replied: "Give me the location."
Lin Yilan felt warm at the sight of a 1 on Huo Juncheng's profile picture. How wonderful it was! No matter when she called Huo Juncheng, he would always be there.
In her world, Huo Juncheng seemed like a superman. As long as she appeared, he existed.
Every time she needs him, Huo Juncheng will be the first to appear!
Lin Yilan looked at the words he sent on WeChat and felt extremely safe.
The sudden fire destroyed her hard work. Fortunately, the clerk was fine and Huo Juncheng was also there.
"Are you really afraid of what I will do to you?" Chen Xiang was still muttering.
Lin Yilan pretended not to hear anything and walked forward on her own.
As luck would have it, Gao Long saw the news and started heading towards the milk tea shop.
He was looking out the door when he received Huo Juncheng's text message.
"What's the situation?" Huo Juncheng asked.
Gao Long looked at it for a moment. "The fire was just put out. The milk tea shop is gone, but the nearby shops are still fine, unaffected." After thinking for a moment, he sent another message. "Boss, do you think someone did this on purpose?"
"Don't worry too much about the milk tea shop for now. Go meet Lin Yilan first. She needs you."
After reading the text message, Gao Long hurriedly set off and headed in the direction of the location.
Lin Yilan and Chen Xiang had already walked quite a distance when Chen Xiang suddenly suggested, "Why don't we take a car?"
Lin Yilan wanted to wait until Gao Long spoke.
"etc."
"Are you really that afraid of what I might do to you that you have to find a helper?"
Chen Xiang seemed a little anxious.
Lin Yilan noticed something was wrong and was about to ask what was going on so that she could find out his identity.
As a result, Gao Long's voice came from behind, "Idol Senior Sister!" Gao Long ran all the way over, sweating profusely.
Lin Yilan saw him coming over and was about to introduce his identity to Chen Xiang, but when she turned around, Chen Xiang disappeared.
