857: Chapter 857: The Lone Man and the Single Woman 857: Chapter 857: The Lone Man and the Single Woman An Hao maintained her vigilance and followed behind her, the two of them walking one after the other towards the small warehouse.
As soon as Xin Ni entered the warehouse door, she stopped and whispered so that only she and An Hao could hear, “I’ve brought the ssage from the Chief of Staff’s wife as you asked.”
An Hao wondered, would Qin Jian really have Xin Ni deliver a ssage?
She had just set foot inside when she indeed saw a man bending over searching for sothing in a pile of clutter.
It was the warrior Xiaolin; he ca to retrieve his notebook and incidentally to help Xin Ni find the thing she needed.
“Look, the Staff Officer is right there searching for a table,” Xin Ni said to Xiaolin.
How many tis had An Hao seen Qin Jian’s figure from behind, and how could she not recognize it?
His silhouette was tall and broad, and just the sight of his back gave An Hao a sense of security.
But the figure inside the warehouse appeared slight and had not undergone years of training; it clearly wasn’t Qin Jian.
“Xin Ni, you’re lying to !” An Hao said coldly and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xin Ni grabbed An Hao’s hand in a flash, “Think it’s that easy to leave?”
Today, she had rehearsed in her mind over and over, just waiting to take An Hao down in one fell swoop!
And to expose his dirty deeds for all to see, so that she could never lift her head again in this compound.
An Hao saw that Xin Ni had grabbed her wrist and tried to break free.
Xin Ni’s hand was already prepared with a needle and viciously jabbed An Hao.
An Hao cried out in pain, and Xiaolin, who was searching for sothing, turned his head upon hearing the noise and saw Xin Ni and An Hao struggling at the warehouse doorway.
“Sister-in-law, what are you two doing?” Xiaolin was sowhat clueless and couldn’t understand the situation.
“Xiaolin, run!” Seeing this man, An Hao had already guessed what Xiaolin was thinking; if she couldn’t escape, it was still good for Xiaolin to get away.
“Think running is that easy, think leaving is that easy?” Xin Ni raised the needle again, aiming for An Hao’s hand
, and An Hao, in pain, let go of her hand.
Xin Ni took the opportunity to run out and slamd the door shut.
Imdiately after, Xin Ni bolted the door from the outside.
Xiaolin hurried over to pull the door open, but it wouldn’t budge.
“It’s no use.
She wouldn’t put so much effort into tricking us both here and let you open the door that easily,” An Hao said.
“Sister-in-law, what do you an by that?” Xiaolin was still in the dark and quite confused.
“She wants to hurt !
You were used by her!
You’re the fall guy!” An Hao sighed and said, “Now we’re both trapped here, just wait for it—soon she’ll surely call a crowd to watch the spectacle.”
“A spectacle?
What spectacle?”
“A man and a woman alone together, what kind of spectacle do you think?”
“You an…” Xiaolin nearly burst into tears after hearing this, “Sister-in-law, what should we do…
If she accuses you, no amount of talking will clear your na, I don’t want to harm you or cause the Staff Officer to misunderstand…”
Moreover, once misjudged, he would be branded guilty of destroying a military marriage, and his life would be over.
These thoughts went unspoken by Xiaolin.
He was a traditional man who saw a woman’s reputation as more important than anything else.
An Hao was such a beautiful and gentle sister-in-law; he didn’t want to see her good na maliciously tarnished.
An Hao sighed deeply and, amidst the chaos in her mind, ca up with a thought: “Now, before anyone else arrives, it would be best if you could run out.
That way, it’ll be easier to explain if only I’m left behind.”
