Winter days in Nangong were extremely bleak and desolate. The biting cold wind whipped the flesh, and the steps on the dry and frosty road made slight squeaking sounds.

Ning Qing was walking on the road in a white down jacket. She is fair skinned, with silky black hair, sparkling eyes, and a bright smile. She kept exhaling through her rosy lips to warm her hands.

Even such a cold day could not dampen her spirits. She was going out on a date.

It was her first date after turning eighteen, with Xu Junxi.

They had grown up together and got along like peas and carrots. Young love had been in the air. It was not until yesterday that Xu Junxi finally expressed his feelings about her and asked her out on a date at a park.

She was more than delighted to go.

Thinking of his sunny, warm face, she arched a sweet smile and quickened her pace.

Suddenly, a stumbling man appeared from the corner who slammed into her shoulder and fell to the ground.

Rattled, Ning Qing looked down at the man.

He was about twenty-six, twenty-seven years old. He had a sculpted face, sword-like eyebrows, and a tall nose. This was definitely the most handsome man Ning Qing had ever seen.

He was wearing a black wool coat and a thin, navy V-neck sweater. One of his hands was pressed against his bleeding abdomen. He was obviously severely injured.

“Sir, are you alright?” Ning Qing squatted and asked, “You’re injured. I’ll call an ambulance.”

The man could barely open his eyes, his face pale due to excessive blood loss. He frowned and shook his head, “Don’t ... some people are chasing after me ...”

At that moment, Ning Qing heard some rushing footsteps, alongside a man’s low voice. “Hurry! We must get rid of him today!”

Are they going to murder him?

Ning Qing bit her lips, and with great effort, moved the injured man into the bush by the side of the road. “Sir, hide here for a while. I’ll lead them away.”

“Don’t go...” He waved to stop her. But the girl was swift like a rabbit, leaving him with a hazy yet beautiful image.

Ning Qing stood in the road, and soon a group of men in black appeared. They looked fierce. Upon seeing her, they asked rudely, “Oi, young lady. Have you seen an injured man passing by?”

Ning Qing quietly and naturally hid one hand in the pocket of her down jacket, her face unchanged. She pointed the front with the other hand and said, “I just saw a man walking over there.”

The men in black looked at each other. Today they would rather kill a thousand innocent people than miss their prey. This girl seemed a little suspicious, and they had reached a silent consensus to remove her as a potential threat.
