Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Han Xue’s Invitation
“`
Fang Xiaocao dragged her exhausted body out of the gym, ending her very first martial arts class.
In a word, she was tired!
She drove back to the hotel and used her room card to unlock the door.
Fang Xiaocao quickly took a shower, skipped dinner, and then threw herself onto the bed to et the Sandman and review the martial arts lesson.
[Ding Dong!]
She didn’t know how long she had slept when the notification sound from her phone woke her up in a daze.
Due to the presence of “Hot Noodles”, Fang Xiaocao had developed a muscle mory; anyti her phone chid, she would instinctively reach for it to check the ssage, no matter what she was doing.
Even if her brain hadn’t fully booted up yet.
But her hand had already picked up the phone and unlocked it with her fingerprint.
Fang Xiaocao rubbed her eyes and looked at the phone screen.
[Hot Noodles: Be careful with Han Xue! Keep your distance! Avoid physical contact!]
Looking at the ssage from Hot Noodles.
Fang Xiaocao was jolted awake, and her brain instantly rebooted.
She sat up in bed, and once more looked at the WeChat ssage from Hot Noodles.
“Crap, this is serious!”
Fang Xiaocao exclaid.
A ssage from Hot Noodles, with three exclamation points no less, signaling a warning to her, definitely wasn’t a trivial matter.
Hot Noodles was heightening her alertness.
The level of danger Han Xue represented in Hot Noodles’ eyes had reached a point where her life might be threatened.
“What’s wrong with Han Xue?”
Fang Xiaocao didn’t have ti to think more and hurriedly asked.
[Contact does not exist!]
Looking at the alert, Fang Xiaocao’s brow furrowed deeply.
Hot Noodles’ disappearance at this ti was not a good sign.
It implied that with Han Xue involved, her future had beco unpredictable once again.
Hot Noodles had disappeared before experiencing everything related to Han Xue that was about to happen to her.
Fang Xiaocao sat on the bed, growing increasingly restless.
Her eyes were glued to her phone, silently waiting for a ssage from Hot Noodles.
[Ding Dong!]
The notification sound of her phone made her startle.
She swiftly swiped the screen to unlock it and check the ssage.
[Han Xue: Xiaocao, are you free?]
It was a WeChat ssage from Han Xue!
Staring at the WeChat conversation, Fang Xiaocao fell into silence.
“What should I do?”
“Why is Han Xue looking for ?”
“Why isn’t Hot Noodles back yet!”
Fang Xiaocao was becoming flustered as she muttered to herself.
[Ding Dong!]
The phone chid again with another WeChat ssage.
Fang Xiaocao imdiately opened WeChat, and it was Han Xue again!
[Han Xue: Xiaocao, let’s get together. Wanqing, Wen Shi, and Luoshu will be there too!]
Reading Han Xue’s ssage, Fang Xiaocao’s pupils dilated suddenly.
“What is Han Xue up to?”
Fang Xiaocao wondered to herself.
“Husky, how could you go out with Han Xue!”
She imdiately started scolding Su Wanqing, a.k.a. Tiger Girl.
Knowing full well that Han Xue was not to be trusted, instead of stopping Wen Shi and Yun Luoshu, she even got herself invited out by Han Xue.
“Tiger Girl, oh Tiger Girl…”
“Can’t you be more reliable?”
Fang Xiaocao was fretting as she complained.
Opening Su Wanqing’s WeChat, Fang Xiaocao composed a ssage but then hesitated with her finger over the send button.
“No, I can’t tell Tiger Girl!”
Fang Xiaocao murmured.
She began to replay the entire scenario in her head.
“First off, Han Xue doesn’t know yet that I’m aware of her putting together a setup, so before I show up, Su Wanqing and the others should be safe.”
“`
“Secondly, I can’t send a ssage to Su Wanqing, warning her to be careful of Han Xue!”
As her thoughts gradually beca clear, a brainstorm began to take shape in Fang Xiaocao’s mind.
“The trio, Su Wanqing, is now with Han Xue, and since the situation on the scene is unknown, this ssage absolutely cannot be sent!”
“What if, all four of them are huddled together, and the ssage is accidentally seen by Han Xue?”
“What if, Su Wanqing’s acting is not up to par?”
“Or at this mont, Han Xue has already gained control over the trio?”
In Fang Xiaocao’s head, hypotheses were continuously forming.
“If any one of the three scenarios above occurs, the warning ssage I send not only will expose myself but might also beco a death warrant for the trio.”
In the end, Fang Xiaocao quickly deleted the ssage she was about to send to Su Wanqing and opened Han Xue’s chat.
“I need to stabilize Han Xue first!”
“And confirm the situation of the trio!”
Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.
She glanced at the ti on her phone.
19:21!
Fang Xiaocao collected her thoughts and began to compose a ssage.
“It’s so late, where are you gathering?”
“Other than Wanqing and her two friends, who else will be there?”
After sending the ssage, Fang Xiaocao started to get dressed.
Although Hot Noodles had warned her to be cautious of Han Xue before going missing, even using three exclamation marks to draw her own attention,
But Su Wanqing and the other two girls were her best friends, and Fang Xiaocao could not just sit by and let them be in danger.
These three clueless girls were innocent!
Even if she knew that going there would pose a threat to her own life, Fang Xiaocao still did not want any harm to co to Su Wanqing and the others.
[Ding Dong!]
The notification from her phone sounded!
As Fang Xiaocao put on her coat, she opened WeChat.
[Han Xue: Bar Street!]
[Han Xue: No one else, just us!]
Below the ssage was an attached video.
In the video, Han Xue, Su Wanqing, Wen Shi, and Yun Luoshu were in a KTV room, with drinks on the table, and Husky Su Wanqing was carelessly belting out songs.
It was Shen Tao’s KTV!
Fang Xiaocao recognized this KTV room.
Back when Qi Yu was courting her, each ti Han Xue suggested going to KTV, Qi Yu would bring them to this room.
“Could Shen Tao be aware of sothing?”
Fang Xiaocao frowned deeply, murmuring to herself.
Just last night, Han Xue had been humiliated by Shen Tao in front of everybody for not being able to pay an exorbitant bar tab.
In less than 24 hours, how had Han Xue gotten involved with Shen Tao again?
Knowing that Han Xue couldn’t pay, it was impossible for Shen Tao to let her into a super-luxury room!
Fang Xiaocao racked her brain, analyzing one possibility after another.
“There must be sothing going on here!”
Eventually, Fang Xiaocao reached such a conclusion.
“Drinking again?”
“Isn’t it too late?”
“Plus, I have to drive!”
“How about we find sowhere else to hang out?”
While finding excuses to decline the drinking session, Fang Xiaocao hoped they could change the location of their gathering.
Bar Street was Shen Tao’s turf!
One Han Xue was risky enough!
And with Shen Tao added to the mix…
Fang Xiaocao felt that eting there was far too dangerous.
Even with just Han Xue, Fang Xiaocao was hardly confident, not to ntion Shen Tao, the big boss.
[Han Xue: Xiaocao, are you still mad at for stealing Qi Yu?]
[Han Xue: About the Qi Yu thing, I’m a victim too, you know. He got drunk, and that’s how things happened.]
“Heh…”
“I trust you about as far as I can throw you…”
Fang Xiaocao sneered silently in her heart.
