Ignorant
Qing Xiaoyue was bestowed with so many benefits when she did not do anything. She could not sleep for the jade book kept her up. She suddenly heard a knock on her door. She assumed Yang Tian regretted giving away the book. She went to open the door. To her surprise, a foreigner with blue eyes, attired in a black tuxedo and oozing a violent vibe on par to a soldier was on the other side.
“Who are you?” asked Qing Xiaoyue.
The answer Qing Xiaoyue came in the form of a hand covering her mouth. Her eyes bulged. She tried to retaliate; however, his other hand clutched her throat. His smile was frightening. “Behave. I don’t mind turning you into a corpse. It’d just be a waste of your pretty face.”
Qing Xiaoyue watched three men brandishing guns invade her house. The other two fumbled through her house using detector instruments. When one of them saw the jade book, he cried, “Oh my god.”
The other foreigner went over and inspected the shiny book.
The man restraining Qing Xiaoyue brayed, “What do you think you’re doing? Have you forgotten what we came here for?”
The two apologetically smiled and resumed their search. One of them brought over a sheet of paper after they were done. The two characters on it reminded Qing Xiaoyue of Yang Tian, leading to her guessing they were after him. The leader nodded and then turned his attention back to her. “Where is the jade piece? You have until three, or you die!”
After he released her, Qing Xiaoyue wanted to cry for her, but her rationality advised against the ill-thought idea. After struggling, she answered, “He took it with him.”
The mission was unexpectedly easy. The leader indifferently asked, “Who is he? What’s his name?”
“I don’t know who he is or what his name is?”
One of them choked Qing Xiaoyue again. “Lass, you think we’re playing?!”
“Wait.” The leader waved for his subordinate to stop and took out a photo from his pocket. “Is this him?”
Qing Xiaoyue nodded. “It is.”
“Haha, we’ve completed two missions in one go. S City is magical. Where is he? When did he leave?”
“He just left.”
“Go and find him.”
“Leave it to me. I’ll hack the internet and locate him on the security cameras.”
“Hack the internet? Who are you people?” asked Qing Xiaoyue, as one of them began hacking. She thought, What happens if he doesn’t come? No, he’ll come back. He’ll come back. He’s no ordinary man. If he dies, I’ll be guilty. I’ll just die together with him, big deal.
Yang Tian wandered around a shopping mall and found everything interesting. He looked up at the surveillance camera moving about on the ceiling all of a sudden. He could sense eyes on him. He pinched his eyebrows together. From the hotel room, the hacker exclaimed, “He hasn’t noticed me, has he?”
“Eddie, shut your stupid rear end up. You think he’s god?”
Hmph, he might just be, thought Qing Xiaoyue.
Eddie awkwardly touched his nose. “How about you go apprehend him now?”
“Eddie, you are a dimwit. You want me to capture a brat? Call him up, and tell him to come here, or we kill this woman!”
Eddie rolled his eyes. He looked through some information to call the phone near Yang Tian. A girl picked up the call. Eddie told them he was looking for Yang Tian, so the girl called him over.
“Me?” asked Yang Tian, puzzled.
“Yes, Handsome,” replied the girl besotted with Yang Tian at first glance.
Yang Tian picked up the phone and queried. “Who are you?”
Eddie frigidly replied, “Hello, you have ten minutes to return to Qing Xiaoyue’s place, or I’ll send you her corpse.”
“I don’t know a Qing Xiaoyue,” replied Yang Tian, thinking the world was crazy, killing people for menial things.
Qing Xiaoyue: “It’s me. Hey, it’s me. I’m Xiaoyue. Hurry over. They’re going to kill me.”
Yang Tian thought he recognised the voice.
“You only have ten minutes.” Eddie hung up after delivering the threat again.
