Chapter 38: Confrontation in the alley, death warning

The moment Jiang Ning stepped out of the Jinyufang, the box of gold and silver in her hand was received into the space.

Following the path in her memory, she wanted to return to Liu Mingan, but after walking less than 200 meters, Jiang Ning keenly noticed someone behind her. Jiang Ning

slowed down her pace, and then deliberately stayed at a stall selling pearl flowers, pretending to pick, but actually taking the opportunity to check the situation behind her.

Two people, one fat and one thin, one of them must be Monkey, and the other seems to be Tiger. Jiang Ning thought.

The two who followed Jiang Ning out would never have thought that the woman in front of them was a top killer who was proficient in tracking, eavesdropping, assassination and counter-detection. They thought they were following secretly, but in Jiang Ning's eyes, it was just like a child's play. They had already seen it clearly.

Seeing Jiang Ning leave the stall selling pearl flowers and turn to walk towards a nearby alley, Monkey and Hu Zi hurriedly followed. There were people coming and going on the street, and they didn't dare to do anything in public. As long as they could find out who this woman was and where she lived, it would be fine.

But if this woman walked to a deserted place by herself, then no one could be blamed.

Monkey looked at Jiang Ning's back, and his double triangular eyes were full of sinister coldness.

Monkey and Hu Zi slowed down their steps and followed Jiang Ning into the alley. The road became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer people.

Until they entered an empty alley, seeing Jiang Ning walking towards the house at the end of the alley, Monkey was delighted and raised his chin to Hu Zi, signaling him to prepare to attack.

The two quickened their pace and were only five or six steps away from Jiang Ning, but saw Jiang Ning turn around when she was about to reach the door and slip into another alley.

Monkey Hu Zi hurriedly followed and turned around the alley, but found that Jiang Ning was gone. This is a short alley, and ten steps away is another alley, one on the left and one on the right.

The two walked to the intersection again, and still saw no one on either side.

"Is this woman walking so fast?" Hu Zi muttered, touching his head, with a puzzled look on his face.

This is a residential area with complicated streets, and this alley has who knows how many branches. Monkey was unwilling to return empty-handed, so he discussed with Hu Zi: "She can't get far, let's each chase her. Remember, if you see someone, just cover her mouth and hit her neck hard to make her dizzy, then call me. Similarly, I will call you if I find someone."

Hu Zi nodded, but seeing the houses around him, he became a little worried: "What if someone sees us? If someone makes trouble and reports to the police, won't we be finished?"

"Are you stupid? Can't you tell a lie?" Monkey scolded in a low voice: "If someone sees it, you can say that she is your wife, who is sick and fainted, and you are in a hurry to send her to see a doctor. Tell others not to block the way, isn't that enough?"

Seeing Hu Zi repeatedly saying "OK", Monkey pushed him to the left: "Go, don't let them get away." After saying that, he went to the alley on the right.

Jiang Ning looked at the two people in front of her quietly in the space. When she heard that they planned to knock her out, she slowly raised the corners of her lips. After the two of them acted separately as she expected, Jiang Ning followed Hu Zi in the space.

Hu Zi didn't notice it at all. He tiptoed to the corner of the alley, poked his head out and found no trace of Jiang Ning, then turned in quickly.

Just after taking two steps, a ghostly voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Are you looking for me?"

The voice was light and floating, as if it came from far away, clear and cold, making people's scalps numb.

When Hu Zi heard this question, his hair stood on end in an instant. He turned around abruptly, but found that there was nothing behind him.

No one!

"Can't you see me?" The voice sounded behind him again.

Hu Zi's heart was tense, he reached out and pulled out the dagger at his waist, swallowed hard, and then turned his head stiffly with courage.

Still no one!

The breeze passed through the alley, which should have been comfortable and pleasant, but Hu Zi felt that he was sweating all over.

"Who! Come out!" Hu Zi shouted loudly to the empty surroundings, his voice was hoarse because of the tightness of his throat.

Jiang Ning, who was pretending to be a ghost, watched Hu Zi being fooled in the space, and slowly curled the corners of her lips. When Hu Zi shouted, Jiang Ning circled behind him, flashed out from the space, used her hand as a blade, and chopped hard behind his neck.

Hu Zi didn't have time to react, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a "thump".

Jiang Ning bent down and picked up the dagger, and lightly touched the blade with her fingertips. It's okay, although it is far worse than modern craftsmanship, but it can be used.

There were hurried footsteps coming closer and closer. Jiang Ning knew that it was Hu Zi's shouting that attracted Monkey over, and this was also her plan, so she held the dagger tightly and entered the space again.

Monkey heard the sound and hurried over. The distance was a bit far, and he didn't hear clearly what Monkey shouted. He just thought that Hu Zi had done the job and they could go back to Jinyufang to report.

Therefore, when Monkey walked into the alley and saw Hu Zi lying unconscious on the ground, he was really shocked.

"Hu Zi!" Monkey took two steps at a time and walked to Hu Zi's side and squatted down. He first stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and then touched his chest. He was relieved to make sure that he was just fainted.

"Hu Zi, wake up! Wake up!" Monkey grabbed his collar and shook him, but there was no response for a long time.

Who knocked him down? Was it that woman? What exactly is she capable of?

Monkey's mind unconsciously recalled the scene when Jiang Ning entered the Jinyufang. He wanted to lift her veil, but she grabbed his wrist and he couldn't get away no matter how hard he tried.

That woman, is she still nearby?

Monkey's heart began to beat "pounding", and he stood up in doubt, looking around.

He always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him.

Dense cold sweat slowly seeped out of Monkey's forehead, and his hand unconsciously reached for the dagger at his waist. Just as he was about to pull the dagger out of the scabbard, his neck suddenly felt cold.

Someone put a knife to his neck!

"Don't move!" Jiang Ning held the dagger steadily and threatened.

"I won't move! I won't move! Spare my life, heroine!" Monkey kept saying, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

This woman seemed to appear out of nowhere, he didn't hear any movement at all, just like -

a ghost!

Monkey thought he was brave and had never been afraid of fighting, but facing an opponent like Jiang Ning, he couldn't control his fear.

"Did Hu Laoliu ask you to come?" Jiang Ning asked at this time.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Monkey answered quickly, fearing that if he answered too slowly, he would lose his life.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"Come, come..." Monkey knew that he must not tell the truth, so he rolled his eyes and started to talk nonsense: "The boss thinks that you, the heroine, are excellent in gambling skills, and wants to invite you to the Jinyufang to be the banker, so that we can learn from each other at any time in the future."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, with a playful tone.

Monkey was about to say "yes" when he felt a sharp pain on his neck, and the next moment, he felt a warm liquid left.

It turned out that Jiang Ning moved her wrist and cut his neck with the blade. The wound was long, shallow and narrow, not fatal, but a warning.

"Female hero, spare my life! Spare my life!" Monkey felt death so close to him for the first time, and his voice was already crying.

"I didn't kill you today because someone is waiting for me and I don't want to waste time. Go back and tell Hu Laoliu that if you are not as skilled as others, you should practice more. If you dare to have any evil thoughts towards me again, I will kill you. Do you understand?" Jiang Ning asked coldly.

In fact, there is another important reason. These two people were sent by Hu Laoliu. If they died for no reason, people would definitely suspect her. It would be fine for her to be alone, but she didn't want to implicate Liu Mingan.

And looking at the monkey's trembling appearance, this cowardly guy should recognize his appearance after being scared once. If he dares to come up and seek death again, she will definitely help him!

"Understand! Understand!" How could the monkey dare to say "no".

As soon as he finished speaking, Monkey felt the dagger on his neck being removed, and then he was kicked in the knee, and at the same time, he was pushed hard on the shoulder. His body stumbled forward involuntarily, and one of his feet was tripped by Hu Zi who was lying on the ground, and he fell hard. His

knees and elbows hit the ground, and he was in great pain. Monkey grimaced and climbed up on the ground. Looking back, he saw that there was no one here except Hu Zi who was still unconscious.

Monkey reached out to touch his neck. The wound made by the dagger had stopped bleeding. He only felt the blood that had not dried up yet, which was red and dazzling on his fingers.

Monkey looked at the intersection where Jiang Ning left, with fear and unwilling humiliation in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, and veins on the back of his hands burst out.
