Lin Qiao frowned slightly as she said, “You again? How can I help you?” She did not want to talk to that weird woman, but that woman had annoyed her by blocking her way.
“It’s been a year since I saw you the last time. You’ve changed. I never saw you during the past year. You weren’t in Sea City Base, were you? Did you join All Beings Base?” Bai Xuer stood in the middle of the way and folded her arms before her chest, looking straight at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao walked to the side. She did not want to waste time talking to that woman, so she prepared to go around and leave. However, Bai Xuer quickly moved and barred her road again. Not only her, the few people who were with her scattered to block Lin Qiao’s way too.
Seeing that, the surrounding people who were coming in or out of the building all stopped and stepped away to watch the show.
Lin Qiao tried to avoid her, which boosted Bai Xuer’s vibe. She held her chin high and said, “Don’t leave. We were ‘good friends’, after all. It’s been so long, so talk to us. Whose children are these?”
Bai Xuer thought she had guessed right. She thought Lu Tianyu had netted a man in All Beings Base. However, she heard that All Beings Base was a small base, with only thousands of people. Was there any powerful man in that base for Lu Tianyu to pay attention to? Bai Xuer believed that the man that the other was currently with was only an average one.
The man that Lu Tianyu was with now should be no better than Yang Chao. Bai Xuer didn’t care if that man was powerful or not. She only wanted to know if he was from All Beings Base or not.
“What do you want? Just tell us, or please get out of the way.” Shen Yujen abruptly made a step forward and said to Bai Xuer coldly. Clearly, Bai Xuer thought that Lu Tianyu’s current boyfriend was weaker than Yang Chao, and that she had gone downhill. So, she intended to give the other a hard time.
Lin Qiao slightly narrowed her eyes and gave a glance to Bai Xuer and Ding Biao, who was standing near Bai Xuer, with a calm face. Bai Xuer looked around, then continued with a smile, “We shouldn’t talk here. What if anything happened and the kids got hurt? Let’s find a quiet place and have a nice conversation.”
While speaking, she looked at the few kids who were with Lin Qiao, and gave Teng, who was in Duan Juan’s arms, a glance in particular. Following her words, the few men behind her instantly stepped forward, seemingly to surround Lin Qiao and her people.
She was threatening Lin Qiao and her people. If they refused to do what she said, she might do something to hurt the kids.
Hearing what Bai Xuer said, some of the surrounding people looked at Lin Qiao and her friends with pity, and some looked at Bai Xuer like they were looking at an idiot.
“Does this woman want to die?”
“Who knows. She should blame herself for not knowing the little princess.”
“Lu Tianyu looks so much prettier than before. Her vibe is restrained, but strong. I don’t think she’ll yield.”
What Bai Xuer said made the surrounding people wear meaningful looks on their faces. Unlike them, Lin Qiao and her friends didn’t change their expressions at all. Lin Xiaolu abruptly raised her head and said to Lin Qiao, “Aunty, let’s go. There is a mad dog. She might bite us.”
She even gave Bai Xuer a glimpse while saying that.
“Hah…” Some of the others burst into laughter as they watched Bai Xuer’s face suddenly grow dark and found it so amusing. The little girl looked very young, but turned out to be quite smart. She even knew how to dish out sarcasm.
Lin Qiao lowered her head and said to Lin Xiaolu with a smile, “It’s okay. If the mad dog attacks us, we’ll kill her and feed her to zombies.” After saying that, she raised her head and give Duan Juan a glance.
Duan Juan received the signal and carried Teng with one arm while waving the other.
“Ouch!”
“Eh!”
“Mm!”
Following a series of m.u.f.fled moans, the few men who were with Bai Xuer fell to the ground one after the other. They each held a leg and moaned in pain.
“You!” Bai Xuer was stunned at first, then realized that all her men were down within a blink. She immediately changed her expression as she glared at Lin Qiao and her friends with both anger and surprise.
Ding Biao changed his expression too. He narrowed his eyes and his relaxed vibe instantly grew fierce.
“A good dog won’t stand in anyone’s way. Move!” Duan Juan said to Bai Xuer coldly, then followed behind Lin Qiao, who had already started walking.
“Stop!” Bai Xuer immediately turned around and pointed at Lin Qiao as she screamed. However, Lin Qiao and her friends ignored her and just kept moving forward.
Bai Xuer prepared to chase. But at that moment, someone darted out of an alley nearby and screamed at her, “Bai Xuer!”
The middle-aged woman caught people’s attention, wearing ragged clothes and having messy hair. The sallow woman rushed up to Bai Xuer and knelt on the ground, then put her arms around one of Bai Xuer’s legs and then started crying loudly.
“Please! Please save my Anan! She got injured saving you! She needs to go to the hospital, or she’ll die! Bai Xuer, please, please save her… Please save Anan! She saved you!”
Bai Xuer was startled by the woman and panicked a little when the latter held her thigh. She looked at Lin Qiao and her friends anxiously, intending to catch up with them. But, the woman was hindering her. She didn’t even look at her injured friends.
While trying to free her leg from the woman’s hands, she scolded her, “Let go of me! What does it have to do with me? I didn’t ask Jiang Anan to save me! She got herself injured. Can’t you send her to the hospital? Why did you come to me? Let go of me! Just let go! Did you hear me?”
The woman let go of her leg but grasped her clothes and stared at her with a pair of bloodshot eyes, “How can you say that? You hunted zombies together, and she saved you so many times. I’m not asking you to thank her for that. This time, you asked Anan’s help yourself. Anan saved you because you asked for help. Aren’t you her best friend? Why did you say that?”
Hearing what the woman said, the surrounding people changed their way of seeing Bai Xuer. They looked at her as if she was a nasty bug, and started to even point at her.
“So that’s what happened. What a selfish woman!”
“It’s a normal thing, actually. Who isn’t selfish these days? Well, she’s a little cold-blooded indeed. Her friend saved her life after all!”
“It turns out that she’s this kind of person. We should stay away from her. Did you see that? Don’t trust people too easily. You have to figure out what kind of person it is before starting to trust someone.”
