CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196: XU NA (PART 1)

The voice of Xuan Shiwu came from outside the door.

Lin Xiaoyan jumped up in surprise and opened the door, seeing Xuan Shiwu, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. Lin Xiaoyan excitedly stepped forward to hug him.

"Shiwu, it’s been so long, I missed you."

Xuan Shiwu also hugged Lin Xiaoyan tightly, "I missed you too, it’s a shame I couldn’t go to Yun Province last time."

The two went into the room and caught up with each other for a while.

After chatting for a bit, Xuan Shiwu looked at the time and said to Lin Xiaoyan, "Let’s go out to eat."

"Sure!"

Lin Xiaoyan and Xuan Shiwu happily walked out of the hotel to find a place to eat.

"Are you here alone for a task this time?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Xuan Shiwu linked arms with Lin Xiaoyan, "Yeah, it’s just a small task, I’m here to check the feng shui for a wealthy family, and it was done today."

"Since I’m here anyway, I thought I’d ask you to come hang out for two days. I’m preparing for my next task in Sea City, so we can go back together then."

"Sea City?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at Xuan Shiwu in surprise, "Then you can stay at my place, the house that Xuan Shiyi gave me is quite big. My mom and the others are staying there this time in Sea City..."

Xuan Shiwu was unsure if he could stay at Lin Xiaoyan’s place, "Let’s see how things go. If I can, I won’t be shy about it."

"Great!" Lin Xiaoyan said happily.

The two walked down a street full of food vendors, bustling with people.

Even though it wasn’t a holiday, there were still many people, making the place lively.

"I know a restaurant that’s particularly good, their seafood is great, it’s just ahead." Xuan Shiwu led Lin Xiaoyan to that restaurant.

With many people coming and going around them, Lin Xiaoyan chatted with Xuan Shiwu while cautiously avoiding those around her.

She was there to have fun and didn’t want to bump into anyone or "see" anything that would affect her mood negatively.

However, what you fear often comes to pass.

Lin Xiaoyan and Xuan Shiwu were walking along just fine, almost reaching the restaurant Xuan Shiwu mentioned.

Suddenly a woman rushed forward and bumped straight into Lin Xiaoyan.

"Sorry, excuse me."

The woman apologized repeatedly after bumping into Lin Xiaoyan.

Xuan Shiwu didn’t look at the woman but turned to Lin Xiaoyan, "Are you okay?"

Lin Xiaoyan stood there, stunned for a few seconds, then grabbed the woman who was about to walk away.

"Don’t go!" Lin Xiaoyan regained her senses and held onto the woman tightly.

Xu Na was pulled by the arm, glanced at the two people she was following in the distance, and immediately withdrew her gaze, looking at the girl holding her.

"I’m sorry, I accidentally bumped into you. I apologize, I... I have things to do, please let go of me, okay?"

Lin Xiaoyan’s hand holding Xu Na’s arm trembled slightly, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her, and her other hand also tightly held her arm.

"You... can’t go..." Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes darted around and caught sight of the face she had just seen in the vision, not far away.

Her heart was pounding, and she gripped Xu Na’s arm even tighter.

Xu Na looked at the girl before her, feeling the pain from her arm, her expression showing irritation.

She had other matters and couldn’t be delayed.

"Please let go of me, okay? I’ve already apologized!"

At this moment, Xuan Shiwu noticed something was off with Lin Xiaoyan. Her gaze turned to the woman Lin Xiaoyan was holding tightly.

When she saw the shadow between the woman’s brows, she understood Lin Xiaoyan’s situation.

Xuan Shiwu looked at the woman, crossed her arms, and unceremoniously said, "I think you should take my friend to the hospital for a checkup."

Xu Na chuckled angrily at such unreasonable words.

"Miss, I just accidentally bumped into you two, and she looks perfectly fine, holding my hand so tightly. Is it necessary to go to the hospital?"

Xu Na looked at the two girlish girls and felt they didn’t seem like the type to extort people. Why were they being so unreasonable? Are young girls like this nowadays?

Xu Na, eager to leave, took a deep breath and apologized again, "I’m sorry, I apologize again. If I bumped into you and you feel uncomfortable, I can give you my phone number. You can contact me later, and I’ll compensate you, okay?"

Lin Xiaoyan had no intention of letting go; she only knew that she couldn’t let the person in front of her leave, or else she would die.

By now, people around them had started recording with their phones.

Some had witnessed the whole incident and began to criticize Lin Xiaoyan.

"Hey, young girl, she’s already apologized to you, just let her go!"

"Yeah, you’re so young, why are you extorting people? I saw it, she just accidentally bumped into you!"

"What happened? What’s going on?"

"Is it a scam? Hahaha..."

Xu Na looked at the situation becoming uncontrollable; her eyes turned to the two people in the distance watching while smoking.

Xu Na’s expression darkened, her eyes sharply focused on Lin Xiaoyan, "Let go! If you don’t let go, I’ll call the police, and then there will be no room to maneuver."

Xu Na’s tone carried a warning, but Lin Xiaoyan wasn’t afraid at all, "Fine, then call the police, let the officers come!"

Beside her, Xuan Shiwu shook her head with a smile and said to Xu Na, "When the police come, you should thank her properly. Consider yourself lucky today, or else..."

She glanced at the deathly aura between Xu Na’s brows, which seemed to have faded.

Xu Na listened to these words, lucky? She felt she was out of luck!

She had finally spotted two suspects today, only to be thwarted by these two young girls.

In her urgency, she spoke softly to Lin Xiaoyan, "Miss, I really have matters to attend to. How much money do you want? I’ll give it to you now, just let go, okay?"

Xu Na decided to resolve the matter with money. If she didn’t have more important matters to handle, she would drag these two young girls to the police station for a good lesson.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, staring at her intently, "I don’t want money, just call the police!"

Xu Na: "You!!!"

People around them heard Lin Xiaoyan’s words and were puzzled.

"This girl must have a screw loose, who willingly goes to the police station!"

"I agree, she seems mentally unstable!"

"Or maybe she wants to extort more money?"

"Tsk, kids these days are really not learning anything good!"

"Each generation is worse than the previous one. In my time, we were too kind..."

...

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Xu Na was already sweating in anxiety.

She saw through the crowd that the two people were about to leave, which made her even more anxious.

"Let go!"

Xu Na ordered sternly.

Lin Xiaoyan: "!!!"

Lin Xiaoyan was startled, pursing her lips and shaking her head, "Don’t leave."

Xu Na furrowed her brows tightly, "I don’t have time right now to deal with this meaningless fuss. If it were any other time, I would’ve sent you to the police station already. Let go immediately, or I’ll be unkind!"
