Xie Li appeared in the alley behind Deyu's gate more than ten minutes later.
The alley was deserted and eerily quiet, showing no signs of the fighting that had occurred earlier.
But Xie Li knew that Chen Lian disappeared here.
She frowned slightly, then suddenly mustered her strength and jumped over the wall, entering Deyu directly.
Several girls were walking through the small garden toward the teaching building. Even though it was already time for class, they were walking at a leisurely pace, clearly frequent truants.
However, this made things easier for Xie Li, who locked onto his target at a glance and slammed him against the tree.
"Where is Chen Lian?" She didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
Although the girls were troublemakers, even when they fought, it was always a back-and-forth battle, and no one could gain an absolute victory.
This is the first time that so many people have collapsed before anyone has even been seen, especially the one who was pinned to a tree with his neck choked; he was on the verge of tears.
Having finally heard Xie Li's question clearly, he hurriedly and stammered, "N-I don't know, she was taken away..."
Xie Li slowly tightened his grip.
The girl screamed in fright and spoke faster: "There were two men wearing big sunglasses, so we couldn't see their faces clearly. They said they were there to pick someone up, and Sister Qian told us to hand the person over to them."
"We really don't know each other, and Sister Qian doesn't seem to know either... Oh right, it seems Sister Qian went with us!"
The girl finally grasped at a straw, "Sister Qian just told us to come back. She said she had something to do. I think she was worried and wanted to go and check on things."
The grip on her neck suddenly loosened, and the girl fell to the ground. When she looked closely, she realized that the girl had already disappeared.
Xie Li called Li Chen directly: "Come out, I'm near Building 2 at your school."
In fact, even without her saying so, Li Chen had already seen Xie Li upstairs. Overjoyed, he didn't care that the homeroom teacher was coming in to start a class.
She took off running downstairs, and before she could even steady herself, she heard Xie Li say, "Call Sister Qian."
After saying that, perhaps feeling that Li Chen was too slow to react, she directly snatched Li Chen's phone and started operating it.
A minute later, Li Chen finally figured out what was going on.
Xie Li's fingers flew across his phone, and he even took out his own phone and used it for a bit before tossing it to Li Chen for safekeeping.
Li Chen secretly glanced at Xie Li's phone and saw a new text message. He clicked on it and was shocked.
"Brother Li, a text message! That Chen Lian is..."
"It's fake." Xie Li didn't even look up, focusing only on harassing Sister Qian.
When Chen Lian vaguely regained some consciousness, she heard two men talking.
"Damn it, are we really just going to dump this girl at a hotel and leave her there?" The voice was lewd. "She's a student, after all..."
"Stop babbling. Don't you know the target of this mission is Xie Li? Ignore this woman. Her family has some connections; it's not good to offend her."
After a moment of silence, the previously lewd voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"Ah Bin and his men have set up an ambush. Will they really be able to catch Xie Li? I heard there are no restrictions there, that they can do whatever they want..."
The voice grew softer and softer, followed by a knowing chuckle.
Shen Lian was furious. Were these people capturing her a trap to get back at Xie Li?
She tried desperately to open her eyes, but even that became incredibly difficult. Only one thought occupied her mind: Xie Li, please don't fall for this!
When she was placed on a bed and heard the footsteps of the two men leaving, Chen Lian suddenly opened her eyes.
