Chapter 22 Life hangs on a thread

Su Miaoyi took out her phone and glanced at it.

It was Zhuang Yanzheng calling.

She answered the phone, and when she looked at the woman again, she found that the woman was already walking towards her.

"Where?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

Su Miaoyi didn't have time to answer. She looked around and quickly walked towards the company she had just interviewed at.

"Su Miaoyi?" Zhuang Yanzheng called out to her.

"Captain Zhuang, it seems like someone is following me." Su Miaoyi glanced back and started jogging. "I'm in the Hedong District, near Xiangyao Street."

After she finished speaking, she heard Zhuang Yanzheng say to the person next to him, "Call the Hedong District Branch, near Xiangyao Street. Su Miaoyi, are there any banks around? Go to a bank or something."

"I'm here for an interview, and I'm on my way to the company," Su Miaoyi said, but before she could finish, she saw a man slowly walk up to the building where the company was located, stand at the door, and look at her.

The man was very tall, probably over 1.9 meters.

They were also dressed in all black and wearing masks.

Su Miaoyi couldn't see his face clearly, but the moment she saw him, she sensed danger.

There was another, unnamed emotion, but she didn't have time to think about what kind of emotion it was.

Her body's instincts told her not to go any further.

She stopped, looked around, and chose to walk out in the direction where there might be more people.

"Su Miaoyi?" Zhuang Yanzheng called out to her.

“There was a man standing in front of the company I just interviewed with, and a woman was following me. They were dressed similarly, in black clothes and black masks.” Su Miaoyi ran in that direction. “There are only shops for rent around here, so there aren’t many people at this time. There might be more people if we go out onto Xiangyao Street.”

“Crowded places won’t work. Go to a bank, preferably a bank or something like that.” Zhuang Yanzheng spoke faster because he was anxious and nervous. “They might kill someone, and they might even kill someone in the street. Crowded places won’t stop them.”

Su Miaoyi was shocked.

How could there be such a person.

And why kill her?!
However, she no longer had the mind to ask these questions.

It's important to save your life.

She ran so fast and was so nervous that her mouth was so dry she could barely speak.

“Synchronize your location with me,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

As Su Miaoyi ran, she glanced back.

The man was gone. Only the woman followed behind her.

I followed them at a distance, neither too close nor too far, without moving forward.

Xiangyao Street runs east-west, and she was walking west.

You can walk around to the front of the building from behind it on the north side.

So Su Miaoyi immediately went to the south side of the street.

"Su Miaoyi," Zhuang Yanzheng called her again, "Remember, be extremely alert, stay clear-headed at all times, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment, and don't harbor any illusions. You're not dealing with normal people; don't think of them like normal people. Make sure you wait for the police to arrive."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng synchronized their locations and sped up their run towards the outside of Yao Street.

There were only a few people out buying groceries on the entire street.

Her rapid running drew frequent glances from passersby.

But she couldn't care less about anything else.

But her worst fears came true; the man came out of the alley to the north and blocked her way.

Su Miaoyi stopped, panting heavily, and glanced at the woman behind her.

She looked around.

The streets are wide, with two lanes for vehicles.

But she was already running out of energy.

Even if the street is wide, running across it will only get you caught.

Seeing the man and woman almost instantly beside her, Su Miaoyi didn't hesitate and ran straight to the alley to the south, turning into it.

Besides the shops for rent, there are only ancient buildings on both sides of this area.

Once inside the alley, you'll find mostly old houses.

Su Miaoyi visited here a few years ago.

Come and experience the charm of ancient architecture and the traces that time has left on these buildings.

I still remember some of the terrain here and know how to get out of the alley.

Turn left after entering the alley.

There was someone in the alley, and Su Miaoyi glanced at him.

"Su Miaoyi?" Shen Yanzhou looked at her with some surprise. "It's you." Su Miaoyi looked behind her and continued running forward.

As she passed Shen Yanzhou, he grabbed her arm: "What's wrong?"

"Just pretend you've never seen me." Su Miaoyi didn't know what the relationship was between Shen Yanzhou and Zhuang Yanzheng.

All she could think about now was that those two people were coming for her, and she didn't want to involve or hurt anyone else.

She turned to leave, but Shen Yanzhou didn't let go of her: "Is someone following you?"

Su Miaoyi heard the approaching footsteps and shook off Shen Yanzhou's arm.

Almost instantly, the woman turned out of the alley.

It was so fast that Su Miaoyi couldn't even see her movements clearly.

The person then stood before her.

But I didn't run into her.

Shen Yanzhou stopped her.

He raised his hand to stop the woman's hand, then twisted his wrist and pushed her away.

The woman took a few steps back, then immediately stepped forward again.

Shen Yanzhou dodged to the side, then grabbed the woman's hand to retaliate, while turning his head to Su Miaoyi and saying, "Run."

Su Miaoyi glanced at the two of them and said, "Be careful."

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Turn left, then left again, then right, and you'll be out.

As I turned right, the man appeared in the alley.

Su Miaoyi stopped abruptly, feeling as if her lungs were about to explode, gasping for breath.

She didn't know why the man had appeared in front of her.

I don't know why he arrived so quickly.

The man walked towards her.

Su Miaoyi could only retreat.

"So weak?" the man asked, looking at her.

Su Miaoyi calmed her breathing and stepped back, taking a few steps back before turning and running away at the opportune moment.

Before he could run more than a few steps, he was grabbed by the man.

The man stood behind her, his left hand gripping her neck, while his right hand held a dagger against her throat.

Su Miaoyi held her breath for a moment, then her breathing became trembling, her whole body went numb, she dared not move, and tears almost instantly fell from her eyes.

But she didn't know.

She had never experienced anything like this in her entire life.

He was held to the neck by someone who dared to kill him in the street.

The man released his grip on her neck and pressed his hand against her face.

Su Miaoyi shuddered suddenly.

After closing my eyes and recovering for a while, I realized that I was still alive.

She looked at the man's hand.

The man twirled his fingers and chuckled, saying, "The first time I saw her, she cried like this too. She was so pitiful. She has a pair of expressive eyes."

Su Miaoyi dared not speak, and dared not even breathe heavily. She wanted to calm the man down and drag him until the police arrived, but her mind went blank.

His voice was right above her head; she could even feel the vibrations in his chest as he spoke.

The man chuckled softly and said, "Qin Leyan is dead. Now, another person named Su Miaoyi will die, especially one who was a helpful member of the public who was assisting the police in solving the case."

The man suddenly laughed: "I really want to see the expressions on their faces. Anger, hatred, regret, and helplessness, panic."

Su Miaoyi heard his laughter, and then she felt the dagger approaching her.

I could also feel the dagger cutting my skin.

She was breathing rapidly because of nervousness.

The man leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "When you get there, if you see Qin Leyan again, remember to tell her that the person she risked her life to kill is still alive."
