Zhuang Ning asked reflexively, “What’s wrong?”
Guan Tang’s tears were about to fall as she said, “Someone’s chasing me!”
Zhuang Ning looked behind Guan Tang. Then, she pushed Guan Tang to the back and said, “Go to the back. Get into the minivan with the number plate ending with the numbers 712. It’s mine.”
Guan Tang did not hesitate at all and quickly rushed out from the back door.
Zhuang Ning sat elegantly as she picked up her cup of her coffee. She looked at the few people who had rushed in quietly. She watched a waiter welcome them before they asked the waiter a few questions and left.
Through the window, Zhuang Ning saw those people frantically searching for someone. After a moment, she asked the waiter to bring her the bill.
After Zhuang Ning paid the bill, the waiter suddenly said, “Miss, Madam asked you to do whatever you want. There’s no need to have any scruples.”
Zhuang Ning looked at the waiter in shock. She had to recover her senses when the waiter bowed slightly and walked away.
‘Madam? Is that woman who gave me a new identity earlier?’
After a while, Zhuang Ning decided not to dwell on this matter. After all, her real backer was Jiang Jin.
…
In the minivan, Guan Tang was shivering like a frightened bird.
Xiao Peng and the assistant looked at Guan Tang curiously.
When Zhuang Ning entered the car, Xiao Peng said tactfully, “We’re going to shop for your daily necessities now, Sister Ning.”
After that, Xiao Peng and the assistant got out of the car.
After the car door closed, Zhuang Ning said to Guan Tang, “Those people are still looking for you on the square. What happened?”
Guan Tang looked out the window immediately and hurriedly shrank back. She said anxiously, “Zhuang Ning, please help me to the end. Take me away from here.”
Zhuang Ning nodded before she asked, “Do you want to contact anyone?”
Guan Tang hesitated for a moment before she asked, “Can I make a call?”
Zhuang Ning looked at Guan Tang. She did not give Guan Tang her phone. Instead, she picked up the phone that her assistant left on the car seat and handed it to Guan Tang.
After dialing a string of numbers and the call connected, Guan Tang choked on her tears as she said, “Hello? It’s me. I, I’m being chased. Save me. I need a safe place.”
The other party gave an address.
Guan Tang nodded and gestured for Zhuang Ning to pass her a pen. She hurriedly wrote down the address and the password for the door. After ending the call, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She returned the phone to Zhuang Ning and said very politely, “Please send me to Fenglin Road.”
Zhuang Ning did not ask any questions. She turned and instructed the driver to start the car.
Guang Tang looked a little embarrassed as she said, “Zhuang Ning, I really didn’t expect to meet you here. Thank you so much.”
Zhuang Ning said calmly, “It’s okay. Don’t feel embarrassed. Everyone has been in an embarrassing situation at one point or another. Let’s pretend today didn’t happen. I haven’t seen you, and you haven’t seen me.”
Guan Tang’s eyes widened in delight. She nodded happily. “Alright! That’s great!”
After Guan Tang calmed down, she asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being seen by your fans?”
Zhuang Ning, who was inwardly disgusted with Guan Tang, said, “I am. That’s why I snuck out secretly. I heard the coffee here is very famous so I decided to come here and try it.”
Guan Tang smiled knowingly as she asked, “Is that so? Are you sure you didn’t sneak out to meet someone?”
Zhuang Ning looked at Guan Tang with a profound gaze. She smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes as she asked, “Do you want me to tell you a secret of mine so you’ll feel at ease?”
Guan Tang smiled awkwardly.
Zhuang Ning looked out of the window and said, “I don’t want to have anything to do with your secret. We’re not from the same world. It’s useless for you to know my secret anyway. Why don’t we coexist peacefully? Perhaps, we can help each other out sometime as well.”
