Lin Qingli curled her lips: "Are you going to do what they do in the movies and put a photo of your loved one in it?"
Jiang Xiachu shook her head and didn't tell her about the dream: "I just think this pocket watch is pretty good-looking."
After hearing what she said, Lin Qingli looked over again in disbelief and examined it carefully.
"Why do I feel like all these pocket watches look the same? They're all similar designs."
Jiang Xiachu shrugged and said nothing.
In fact, she also felt that she might be overthinking, but for some reason she couldn't take her eyes off this pocket watch.
It always feels very familiar and very special.
After the salesperson nearby finished serving an old customer, he turned around and saw the two men still there. His face immediately fell and he immediately walked over and stood aside staring.
That expression seemed as if he was afraid that they would take it out and touch it and then not want it anymore, and he looked extremely disgusted.
Lin Qingli felt the salesperson's gaze and her good mood was ruined by her stare. She glared back at her speechlessly.
She curled her lips, took Jiang Xiachu's hand and complained: "Xiachu, let's go first."
Jiang Xiachu nodded: "Okay."
She didn't want to buy anything, and she was not comfortable being stared at like a thief by the salesperson.
After the two of them walked out of the department store, Lin Qingli got into the car directly and said with a smile: "Xia Chu, you have been riding with me all the way, let me take you for a while."
Jiang Xiachu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Lin Qingli is not particularly skilled at riding a bicycle, but he is pretty steady.
As a result, after just taking two steps, the car suddenly stopped.
Jiang Xiachu didn't react in time and almost bumped into Lin Qingli's back.
She frowned and looked over, and saw a man in front of her.
The man looked to be in his twenties, quite young, with narrow eyes that turned up at the corners. His rolling eyes gave off an uncomfortable vibe.
Especially those two eyebrows that stretched across his eyes like weeds, which made him look even more shabby and uncomfortable no matter how you looked at them.
"Girls, when I saw you two from afar just now, it was like seeing fairies. You are so beautiful, and your temperament is also very good, so lively."
When Lin Qingli heard this, she felt something was wrong from the bottom of her heart. She stared at him vigilantly and subconsciously stepped back.
The man noticed his expression and immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"Hey girl, are you treating me like a bad guy? I have no ill intentions. I'm from the art troupe. I just saw that you two are pretty and thought you would look good on stage."
The man talked for a while, and finally got to the point, asking, "Would you two consider joining the art troupe? I'll take you to sign up, it's a stable job!"
Art troupe?
Lin Qingli turned around and looked at Jiang Xiachu. They had a silent conversation and finally confirmed one thing.
This man is definitely a liar.
When they went to take the exam that day, they didn't see this person in the art troupe.
There is definitely something wrong with what he said.
Maybe he is a kidnapper.
He speaks so skillfully, he must be a veteran.
Lin Qingli immediately refused coldly: "No, please move aside, you are blocking our way."
The man wanted to insist, and continued, "Girl, you are so beautiful, are you really not going to consider it again? This art troupe is definitely better than any other job you can join!"
"And your job is to perform, not at all..."
"Please move aside, we have something else to do."
Before he could finish, Jiang Xiachu interrupted him.
If he insists like this, he is most likely a kidnapper. I don’t know how many people he has harmed.
She must find an opportunity to report to the police and must not let this man continue to do evil.
Lin Qingli glanced at her and immediately understood what she meant.
Seeing that both of them refused so straightforwardly, the man frowned slightly and guessed that he had been seen through by them.
He clenched his fists slightly without noticing, but still had a smile on his face: "Well, I won't bother you two girls anymore, you two go and do your work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned around and strode away.
Jiang Xiachu looked at the man's back, stood up from his bicycle, frowned and said in a serious tone: "Qingli, you ride your bicycle and go to the police immediately to tell them that there is a kidnapper here. I will follow him."
Lin Qingli also realized that things didn't seem that simple, so he immediately agreed and nodded heavily: "Okay."
She looked at Jiang Xiachu with some concern: "Xiachu, you should be careful too. That man doesn't look easy to deal with. Just follow him from a distance. Don't get too close."
Jiang Xiachu nodded and gave her a reassuring look: "Okay, I'll be careful, go quickly and don't let him run away."
After Lin Qingli agreed, he turned the corner and rode away on his bike.
Jiang Xiachu looked at the figure in the distance and did not dare to delay any longer. He raised his feet and jogged after it.
Fortunately, there were quite a few people on the road, and she followed for a long time, but the man didn't notice her.
The road was winding and turning, and the man was getting further and further away. Jiang Xiachu didn't care about the increasingly unfamiliar environment around him and just followed him all the way.
Soon, the man found himself in a small alley.
There were not many people around, so Jiang Xiachu didn't dare to follow too closely.
Just as I turned into an alley, a man suddenly appeared from the corner. The man had a crew cut, looked very strong, and had a big beer belly.
Zhang Quan still had a smile on his fat face, and his eyes were particularly obscene. He asked, "What's going on?"
Li Sheng, the man with narrow eyes, shook his head: "No, Brother Quan, it's not that I don't want to find it for you, it's just that those two bitches won't be fooled!"
"No matter how hard I tried to persuade them, they just wouldn't come with me. Brother Quan, I have something else to do later..."
Although they were some distance apart, the alley was very quiet and Jiang Xiachu could still hear their conversation clearly.
Her face turned cold.
As expected, I guessed right. It is indeed not a good thing. It is here to deceive people.
Zhang Quan curled his lips, grabbed Li Sheng by the collar, and cursed, "What a waste! Don't leave! Look at yourself, I gave you so much money, but what kind of stuff did you give me? Where is the beautiful wife you promised me?"
As he said that, Zhang Quan glared at the figure on the ground and spat, "What do you mean by throwing a stray woman to me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiachu quickly moved to the side, carefully looked over, and suddenly saw a figure on the ground.
After seeing it clearly, her heart rose to her throat and she felt terrible pain.
There was a girl sitting on the ground, her hair was messy, like a bunch of messy weeds, tangled together and all knotted, covering most of her dirty face.
She was very thin and her clothes were tattered. When the wind blew, it felt like the clothes were leaking air.
