Xia Bingqing watched the direction the little girl had left.
She fell into a brief contemplation.
“Chen Fan, did you notice anything unusual about this little girl?”
“Hmm… a little!” Chen Fan nodded.
Xia Bingqing suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Chen Fan… in the movie, the flower-selling girl was controlled by a consortium. Do you think she might be too!”
“If that’s really the case, we must find a way to save her from this predicament!”
“Don’t you think so?”
“You are still a martial artist. Isn’t the greatest virtue of a hero to serve the country and its people?”
A grand compliment was placed upon Chen Fan’s head.
Chen Fan coughed repeatedly upon hearing it, “This compliment of yours is really something else!”
“Amazing!”
“I’m crushed by it!”
Xia Bingqing chuckled, “My husband, Xia Bingqing’s husband, must be a heroic figure who stands tall and upright!”
Chen Fan immediately followed up with, “What if I don’t want to be a hero and just be a bear instead?”
Xia Bingqing punched him on the back again, “Do you think that’s acceptable? How can you lie with your eyes open?”
“Really!”
Chen Fan was amused.
Then, he changed the subject, “How about we follow her?”
“We don’t have much to do today anyway!”
Xia Bingqing nodded, “I agree!”
Thus, the two hit it off and followed the direction the little girl had gone.
After a few steps.
“Chen Fan, I don’t think we can keep up!”
“We don’t have any information!”
Xia Bingqing felt she had been too careless.
Chen Fan casually replied, “Don’t forget, I’m a martial artist!”
For a Grandmaster, how strong do you think his perception would be?
Xia Bingqing gave Chen Fan a displeased sidelong glance, “Is that reliable?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and chuckled, “Guess again!”
Xia Bingqing didn’t give Chen Fan a kind look, “Guess what? You just love guessing!”
“By the way, can we really catch up?”
“It looks like she’s already far away!”
Chen Fan patted his chest, “Don’t worry, we definitely can!”
“This girl carries a floral scent, and we can follow the scent to find her!”
“Mmm-hmm…” Xia Bingqing nodded, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry!”
Chen Fan nodded, not rushing.
Quite calm.
And so, the two followed the path the little girl had taken.
Before long, they arrived at a small alley with very few people.
There was almost no one here!
Walking…
After a moment, they saw the little girl not far away.
A middle-aged woman, dressed neatly, stood before her.
However, this middle-aged woman had an angry look on her face and appeared difficult to approach!
Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing observed from the shadows, not revealing themselves.
The middle-aged woman put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, “Who told you to talk so much to the customer? What, do you think you have a big mouth!”
As she spoke, she roughly twisted the little girl’s ear.
Instantly, the little girl’s face contorted in pain.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
“It’s too painful!”
The little girl cried out.
“Pain…”
“Heh, it’s right for it to hurt!” the middle-aged woman spat again and then slapped her hard, “For talking such nonsense to the customer!”
“Do you believe I’ll cut out your tongue?”
“I… I won’t dare anymore!”
“I was wrong…”
The little girl begged for mercy…
