Chapter 1971: Chapter 1907: We Can Only Leave
"Mysterious Talisman Diagram." Chiang Xiao stuffed the talisman back, then raised her wrist. She also wore a red string with a porcelain bead on it. "This type of talisman is split in two; we each carry half, so I can sense your location."
Is there really such a thing?
Meng Xinian raised an eyebrow, feeling quite intrigued all of a sudden.
"So can I sense your location as well?"
"Probably not."
However, we can experiment with that later.
She glared at him. "Right now, we’re talking about how your Peace Talisman shattered. Stop changing the subject."
Meng Xinian composed himself, recalling last night’s shot.
"He fired a shot."
"Just one shot?" Chiang Xiao was stunned.
She thought if he knew the opponent was shooting, Meng Xinian should’ve been able to dodge it. His reflexes and physical abilities were excellent.
Meng Xinian nodded, saying in a deep voice, "Yes, just one shot. But, even though I dodged it, the bullet still followed me and ultimately hit here."
He placed his hand over his heart.
Chiang Xiao’s pupils contracted.
That simple gesture from Meng Xinian made her heart feel as if it was being squeezed fiercely, leaving her momentarily breathless.
So, one shot, directly to the heart!
She trusted Meng Xinian. If he said he dodged it, then he certainly did.
But how did the bullet still hit him?
Given his current skills, how could anyone possibly deliver a deadly blow?
Yet, considering it was that man, she didn’t feel surprised, because that man gave her such a dangerous vibe!
"Could he be..."
Chiang Xiao wanted to say, could that Second Master have some sort of special ability, or perhaps the gun used was modified by an expert, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak it out loud.
A sense of urgency and unease suddenly filled her heart.
Recently, she hasn’t been too worried about Meng Xinian.
Knowing he was on a mission, she assumed, given his current skills, that there wouldn’t be much danger in general.
But after encountering this Second Master, she couldn’t help but start worrying again.
Second Master was associated with the man Meng Xinian was investigating.
Which means, as long as Meng Xinian continued to investigate that man and carry out his mission, he would inevitably face that so-called Second Master again.
She suddenly felt scared.
"What’s wrong? You’re suddenly so pale." Meng Xinian leaned over, cupping her face in his hands. He sighed softly, "Did it scare you?"
"That man, could he have any connection with Jun Weichi?"
"I don’t know, nothing has been found yet." Meng Xinian touched her face, "However, since Sparrow Number Two appeared in this hotel, it’s highly likely they’re here to meet someone or make a transaction. I can no longer stay here. We’ll need to move elsewhere later."
Chiang Xiao was momentarily taken aback.
How lucky they were to end up in the same hotel.
Under these circumstances, they could still see each other at night and in the early morning when he was on a mission.
But now he has to change hotels, and they might not be able to meet.
Chiang Xiao felt a bit reluctant. "Maybe I can ask Pheng Fei, otherwise we can move with you."
Meng Xinian thought for a moment and shook his head.
