C356 I'm Not a Bad Person
Tang Xuening was preparing for the college entrance exam. She did not choose to stay in a hotel for a long time. Instead, she rented an apartment between the hospital and the school. Although she had not been there personally, she had told Hai Xiaomin the address on the phone.
Hai Xiaomin looked over and confirmed that the address was not wrong. It was just that she knocked on the door but no one responded. Tang Xuening was not home!
This made Hai Xiaomin very helpless. She did not bring her phone either. It was already dark at this time. Why was she not back yet?
But it seemed that at least Ling Yao had not found her yet.
She turned around and leaned against the wall with her back against the wall, ready to squat down to rest. At that moment, the elevator door opened and a male voice with a fluent English accent shouted, "She's there!"
Hai Xiaomin was stunned and stood up straight. She ran towards the other side of the corridor.
It was Ling Yao's bodyguards. She did not expect them to find her so quickly and bump into her. She was really unlucky!
"Stop!"
"Madam! Don't run!"
Hai Xiaomin heard all their shouts behind her ears. At the end of the corridor was the stairwell. She risked her life to rush down to the next floor. Coincidentally, there was a gap in the staircase door of the first floor downstairs. She had an idea and took the risk to change the route at the last minute. She leaned sideways and went in. Before the people upstairs chased after her, she closed the door first.
The bodyguard chased after her all the way down. He thought that Hai Xiaomin ran down the stairs and chased after her in a hurry.
Hai Xiaomin pressed down on her beating heart and did not dare to stay there for long. Soon, they would realize that they had been tricked and turned back. What should they do? They would probably bump into them if they went down now. She had to find a place to hide!
But where could she hide? If they knew that she was in this building, they would definitely search with all their might. Ling Yao would also come...
No, perhaps he had already arrived!
Thinking of Ling Yao's furious appearance, Hai Xiaomin's heart sank and her mind was in a trance. Suddenly, a door in front of her opened and a person came out. She instinctively wanted to brake but tripped on her feet. Her body was caught off guard and fell forward.
"Ah!" Seeing that she was about to have an intimate contact with the ground, the person in front of her quickly rushed forward two steps and caught her!
What she inhaled and exhaled was a faint herbal fragrance.
Hai Xiaomin was a little surprised at that moment because these days, people who had perfume, detergent, and smoke on their bodies were not uncommon. This kind of faint herbal fragrance, other than the ones she had smelled before when she went to see the old TCM doctor, was the first time she smelled it outside.
The herbal fragrance was unexpectedly good and seemed to have the effect of calming one's mind, comforting Hai Xiaomin's frightened mood.
"Miss, it's alright. You can stand up now." A man's clear and melodious voice came from above, like a gust of wind blowing past the wind chimes.
Only then did Hai Xiaomin come back to her senses. She was still hugging him and hurriedly pushed him to stand up. Her face was slightly red. "Sorry, I really have to thank you for what you did just now."
"It was just a small effort." The man smiled, and his beautiful fragmentary star eyes curved up. His smile was like a spring breeze.
To his surprise, although he spoke in English, he was clearly an eastern man. His skin was fair, and his facial features weren't very delicate. However, when put together, he looked exceptionally clean and attractive. This appearance... seemed somewhat familiar.
Could he be the main character of some Korean idol drama?
Hai Xiaomin guessed blindly.
"You..." The man stared at Hai Xiaomin's face and seemed to be guessing that they came from the same country. Just as he was about to ask, a wave of messy footsteps approached from behind the corner.
Not good!
Hai Xiaomin's heart skipped a beat. In a moment of desperation, she saw that the door behind the man was not closed. Without any explanation, she pounced forward and forced the other party into the door. "Apologies, let me hide for a while. Please do not make a sound!"
She quickly closed the door behind her and closed it gently. The messy footsteps passed by the door and there were occasional short conversations. Obviously, they were looking for someone. They did not notice anything unusual behind the door.
Behind the door, Hai Xiaomin covered the man's mouth and pressed him against the wall. He maintained this strange posture and did not move at all. There was not a trace of panic in his eyes but a strong curiosity.
When the footsteps outside the door were far away, Hai Xiaomin let out a long breath. She turned her head and found that she was actually roughly covering the man's mouth. Lightning shrank back and had an apologetic look on her face. "I am sorry to have startled you. I am not a bad person. It is just that someone is chasing after me..."0
The man laughed lightly, "You hurriedly explained that you are not a bad person. Aren't you afraid that I am actually the bad person?"
He felt that they had made a mistake. This girl had completely mistaken him for a man and a woman who could not even truss a chicken.
"Huh?" Hai Xiaomin was a little confused and realized that she had entered a stranger's house so rashly. If the other party had evil intentions, she would really send a lamb to the tiger's mouth. It was not worth it, but...
"Do you look like a bad person?"
The temperament of this man was as clean as a ray of sunlight. Even now, it did not give Hai Xiaomin any threat.
"Bad people will not write these two words on their faces." The man smiled and shook his head. "Then, do you need help? For the sake of our compatriots, I can help you call the police. "
Hai Xiaomin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. From the moment she hid behind the door, she had unconsciously used Mandarin. Furthermore, the man did not have any sense of disobedience as he replied in Mandarin. The other party was also from China!
She was stunned for a moment before the man winked at her. "Or is it that you are the one who is most afraid of the police?"
"Don't overthink it. I'm not breaking the law." Hai Xiaomin found it funny. It turned out that he suspected that she had committed some crime. For example, when a thief stole someone's things, he was chased like a rat crossing the street.
The man smiled in a tolerant manner. "It's fine if it's inconvenient to say, but if you need any help, you can still tell me. For example, if you stay at my house for a while longer, I won't mind. "
This man is really a considerate person!
But...
"No more trouble, I should leave now." Hai Xiaomin smiled.
Since Ling Yao already knew she was here, it would not be safe for her to stay here any longer. She thought back to when she was kidnapped. He had mobilized helicopters from several cities to search the entire forest. He was crazy enough to order people and wolves to catch her. Who knew if he would tear down this building brutally.
Furthermore, this was her and Ling Yao's matter. She did not want to complicate things and implicate the other party.
The man did not force him. He thought for a while and said, "Wait."
He went into the room for a while and took out a coat, a hat, and a pair of sunglasses. "Put these on. I'll send you downstairs. It just so happens that I have to go out."
Hai Xiaomin looked at him, touched. He was really a good person that was hard to find even with lanterns. She even suspected that if she was really a thief, the other party would still help her even if they knew.
The excuse for a man to help was very sufficient. Hai Xiaomin could not even find an excuse to reject him, so she could only put on a disguise and enter the elevator with the other party.
When the two of them were alone, the man suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, I haven't asked your name yet."
