"Split up and run!"

"it is good!"

The moment the words left their mouths, the two of them dashed off to either side like the wind.

If they run in opposite directions, there's a chance they might be caught, but there's also a chance they'll both chase the other side!

Just as the night market street was bustling with activity, a phone call suddenly came to Wu Xiaoxiong in the hotel.

She was sprawled on the sofa watching TV when she noticed the caller ID and immediately sat up straight.

"Hey? Old Chen, where are you?"

"We're already near the hotel, it should be there in about ten minutes."

"Oh, okay, by the way, remember to come from Jihe Street, otherwise you might not be able to find it."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao looked at the fork in the road between Jihe Street and Night Market Street.

After only a few seconds of thought, she decisively walked towards the night market street.

My intuition told me that something was waiting for me at the other end of the night market!

After all, Sakikuma wouldn't remind me to take a certain route for no reason. Something might have happened in the night market area that she was deliberately keeping from me!

Even after hanging up the phone, Wu Xiaoxiong was still unsettled and couldn't even watch TV for a moment.

Will Lao Chen obediently walk along Jihe Street as he said he would?

"No, we still have to go and take a look."

Wu Xiaoxiong gritted her teeth and finally left the sofa with unease.

For some reason, I always felt that if I didn't keep an eye on Old Chen, something terrible would definitely happen!

Not only Wu Xiaoxiong, but Lin Qiu, who was already sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, also suddenly shivered and looked out the window with a blank expression.

What's causing this inexplicable goosebumps? Is some danger approaching?

"what happened?"

Seeing Lin Qiu's unusual expression, Yun Mo asked with some confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing, just something trivial. Let's order first. Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Lin Qiu casually explained, then pushed the menu directly in front of Yun Mo.

"After eating at your place a few times, I've become a bit picky about food. I should eat out less often."

"Won't you get hungry in the middle of the night like this?"

"Probably, but you could sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep."

Yunmo spoke with a shifty look in his eyes, but Lin Qiu instantly understood what he meant...

277-The Repressed Triangle

"Gentlemen, this is a complimentary Summer Delight from our store. Please enjoy."

Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo were both taken aback when they saw the large cup of fruit tea suddenly placed on the table.

Putting aside the various fresh fruits inside, the two straws intertwined together are particularly eye-catching.

"I thought this kind of straw only existed in legends."

"It's probably a specialty of this restaurant."

The two chatted idly, but their attention was fixed on the straws and they couldn't take their eyes off them.

Using special straws in public places can be a little uncomfortable.

Despite feeling a little awkward, the two instinctively moved closer, and their close proximity, almost like a kiss, subtly attracted the attention of other guests.

Feeling those strange gazes, Qin Yunmo's pretty face immediately blushed uncontrollably.

Lin Qiu, on the other hand, seemed to have suddenly sensed something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Why do I feel like some kind of danger is constantly approaching?

Is it an illusion?

However, just as he had feared, Chen Xiao's figure had already appeared in the crowd of the night market street, heading straight for Guanye Pavilion like a human radar.

Her intuition told her that something over there was attracting her!

Tang Feilin, who had been guarding the monitoring room, also noticed Chen Xiao's figure. Her eyelids twitched immediately, and her originally relaxed mood vanished.

She instantly switched communication channels, issuing instructions in an extremely serious tone—

"Enemy attack! Repeat, enemy attack!"

"All personnel in position, stop the girl in the crowd who is wearing a hat and has her hair in a ponytail. She is wearing a blue coat."

"Stop her at all costs! We absolutely cannot let her see Lin Qiu and Qin Yunmo on a date!"

Upon receiving the order, the security personnel who had been strolling around immediately tensed up and left their original positions, heading straight for the Night-Viewing Pavilion.

I originally thought that at most there would be minor interference from Zezhi and Qixi, and there would be no real danger.

So the real danger is only appearing now?

Soon, a small team located Chen Xiao and immediately surrounded him.

But before they could get close enough, Chen Xiao's figure slowly disappeared from the spot!

"It's a 'Phantom'! Target lost, search again immediately!"

Has anyone around noticed?

"With the 'common sense correction,' it won't be detected."

"Then use your skills to search! Remember, the situation is extremely critical; the happiness of a family rests in your hands!"

"Yes!"

On a rooftop, Chen Xiao silently watched the security team members below, who were moving unnaturally. Their expressions all became somewhat solemn.

There's definitely something wrong here!

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone rang suddenly. After looking at Saki's caller ID, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and finally answered the call.

"what happened?"

"Old Chen, where are you? I'm coming out to meet you."

"I'm a little lost. I accidentally wandered into that... night market street."

"...You stay where you are and don't move. I'll be right there to find you!"

Hearing Wu Xiaoxiong's breathing suddenly stop, Chen Xiao became even more certain that she knew some secret.

"After a long drive, I'm a little hungry. Let's go eat at that Guanyue Pavilion over there first. You can find me there later."

"Okay, don't wander off anywhere except over there. There are plenty of roads around here!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiaoxiong immediately rushed out of the hotel.

Hopefully Lin Qiu and Yun Mo will stroll around slowly, otherwise if they run into each other on the street, damn it, a street tragedy is bound to break out!

After putting away his phone, Chen Xiao glanced once more at the security team members downstairs who were frantically searching for him, then lightly jumped and disappeared from the spot.

When she reappeared, she was already in the lobby on the first floor of the Guanye Pavilion.

Hello, I'm dining alone.

After knocking on the counter and canceling the receptionist's "common sense correction" effect, the receptionist finally noticed Chen Xiao, who had suddenly entered the store.

"Oh, excuse me, this way is the second floor, there's a seat available over there."

"It's troublesome."

As he followed the waiter, Chen Xiao subconsciously glanced upstairs.

That strange feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger!

Lin Qiu, upstairs, also felt that piercing sense of crisis and couldn't help but speak up, suggesting—

"Um, Yunmo, how about we go to another store? I have a feeling something bad might happen later."

"You're overthinking it. I think it's great here."

Yunmo looked at Lin Qiu with a somewhat blank expression.

There's absolutely no way we'll change restaurants. This is the one Tang Feilin picked for herself, and there are even unrelated members helping out here. How could we possibly change it!

"I don't know how to describe it, it's like someone is coming to kill me..."

Lin Qiu's tone suddenly faltered, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Chen Xiao going upstairs in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat.

Is it too late to write a will now?

“Is this position okay?”

"No need, my friend has already made a reservation, I can just go with them."

Chen Xiao immediately spotted Lin Qiu, who was trying to conceal herself. After dismissing the waiter, she walked over expressionlessly.

Noticing Lin Qiu's unusual expression, Yun Mo subconsciously turned around.

Her expression froze when she saw Chen Xiao, who shouldn't be here.

The moment their eyes met, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted, accompanied by puffs of unspeakable tension, and the casual conversation in the restaurant gradually subsided.

There was no verbal communication whatsoever, as if speaking at this moment would detonate a bomb on the verge of exploding, sending chills down one's spine.

After pausing for only two seconds, Chen Xiao stepped forward again and walked to Yun Mo's side.

"What a coincidence."

"Ah."

Where should I sit?

"Next to me."

The brief exchange revealed no emotional fluctuations, but the moment the two sat side by side, Lin Qiu felt a chill run straight to the top of his head.

There was no heated argument, and neither of them seemed angry at all. Their expressions were extremely indifferent as they stared intently at Lin Qiu.

"Old...Old Chen, what brings you here?"

"After eating the mutated fruit, Sakuma contacted me and came over."

"That's it..."

An unsettling silence fell over Lin Qiu, who was at a loss for what to say next and seemed quite restless.

Chen Xiao glanced at the tangled double-ended straws on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly as alarm bells rang in his mind.

Qin Yunmo has actually started to take the initiative to attack!

278 - The Clash Between Above and Below the Dining Table

"Excuse me, sir, we've changed your straw. We hope you enjoy your meal."

After saying that, the waiter hurriedly slipped away, as if afraid of being overwhelmed by the terrifying atmosphere.

Meanwhile, at the reception desk in the distance, several waiters were also watching the scene unfold with amusement, peeking at Lin Qiu's situation.

It's rare to see a scene like this where people don't immediately start fighting!

As for Lin Qiu, he stared at the three tangled straws with a dark expression, unsure of what to say.

The already oppressive atmosphere reached its peak at this moment, making Lin Qiu's scalp tingle with fear.

Who would have thought Old Chen would suddenly appear at this time!

Tang Feilin and Bai Ya, watching the scene unfold before them, couldn't help but become serious.

"Do you need my help?"
