Chapter 653: A Chance Encounter
“Darn it, I’ll never forget the sha of getting a plate smashed over my head by that bast*rd! The next ti I see him, I’m going to shoot him dead!” Scott cursed as he suddenly recalled what had happened earlier, and he was furious.
“Scott, he’s not soone that the FBI can deal with, so you had better avoid him!” Sarah warned.
“Yeah, you’re right there. That guy is like a superhero from Marvel. What he does is beyond scientific understanding.”
Scott smiled bitterly and said, “But I’m sure the genetic warriors our military has developed can match him.”
At that mont, his vice-captain, Sutter, ca up with an anxious group of FBI agents. Seeing that Xiao Luo had disappeared from the rooftop, he asked, “Captain Scott, where’s the Thousand-faced Killer, Xiao Han?”
“Isn’t he there? Can’t you see him?” Scott pointed at Xiao Luo, who had landed on top of a building several thousand ters away.
Gulp!
The FBI agents gawked at Xiao Luo leaping across the building rooftops from at a distance and turned pale with shock. It was incredible, and if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a thing. Granted, it wasn’t flying, but how could a person leap across the rooftops with no external aid?
“How could we let him escape? How could we f*cking let him escape!”
After regaining his senses, vice-captain Sutter lost control of his emotions. He yelled at Scott, who was well within earshot.
Scott’s glared at Sutter, and with no warning, he stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. “Don’t you ever dare talk to like that, Sutter! Who do you think you’re talking to? Darn it, I know you’ve been eyeing my post for a long ti. Co on, let’s see what you’ve got, then!”
“I never had such thoughts, Captain.”
Sutter quickly got up from the floor and straightened his body, responding to his captain’s accusations respectfully.
“Son of b*tch, you were just hollering even louder than , and you expect to believe you?”
Scott was so furious that he punched and kicked Sutter again. “Tell the truth now; haven’t you ever thought about it?”
It didn’t matter how Sutter answered, the result would be the sa, he would get a good beating.

Xiao Luo was using the peerless Qinggong Without Equal technique. It allowed him to move around a hundred ters in the air and leap across countless building rooftops as if running over a pavent. The wind whistled past his ears as he covered a distance of tens of ters in a single leap, giving onlookers the impression that he was flying with the wind.
On the rooftop of a large shopping mall, a cleaner was at work. Xiao Luo suddenly descended from the sky and silently stood two to three ters away from her, scaring the cleaner so much that she even dropped the bucket in her hand.
Xiao Luo coughed dryly and asked, “May I ask you how I can get downstairs?”
The lady cleaner was so shocked that she could not even speak. When she heard Xiao Luo asking for directions, she could only point to the staircase’s direction.
“Thank you.”
Xiao Luo nodded in thanks and walked toward the direction she pointed.
Not long after, Xiao Luo walked out from the main entrance of the large shopping mall and quickly blended in with the passing crowd. Just as he took a step toward the road, a yellow convertible screeched to a halt, almost knocking him down.
Xiao Luo imdiately recognized it as the Lykan Hypersport, a world-class car. Then he looked up at the driver’s and passenger’s seats, and two familiar faces ca into view. One of them was a good-looking Caucasian man with a sowhat sinister aura. It was Ian, the man he’d confronted at Washington University, and in the passenger seat was a girl.
The girl had a head of short hair and was well-dressed. Unlike other girls who put on makeup, she looked natural and fresh, with long, elegant eyebrows, a pair of charming eyes, and a delicate nose. It turned out Huang Ruoran.
“Well, well, well… Isn’t this your friend, dear? What a coincidence to et you here again!” Ian sneered, chuckling wryly.
Xiao Luo looked at Huang Ruoran, who looked at him awkwardly in the passenger seat. “Yes, what a coincidence.”
“Xiao Luo…”
Huang Ruoran lowered her head in sha. Then, she mustered her courage and turned to her companion. “Ian, I’ve to talk to him alone. I’ll call you when we’re done.”
“Okay, Honey.”
As if showing off in front of Xiao Luo, Ian leaned over and planted a kiss on Huang Ruoran’s cheek. He even glanced provocatively at Xiao Luo from the corner of his eyes.
Huang Ruoran didn’t avoid his kiss but looked a little bashful as she got off the car.
…
…
They went to an elegant cafe and classical music was playing when they stepped in.
Xiao Luo and Huang Ruoran sat facing each other at a table by the window. Xiao Luo did not touch the glass of water in front of him, while Huang Ruoran was staring into her cup of coffee.
After a long silence, Huang Ruoran said, “Xiao Luo, I’m in love.”
“I can feel that,” Xiao Luo said.
“But why him?”
“Why can’t it be him?”
Huang Ruoran replied with a question, then added, “He might look like an unruly person, but he seems to care about .” Then she glanced ruefully at Xiao Luo and whispered, “Unlike soone…”
Xiao Luo ignored her last sentence and calmly looked at what she was wearing. “Chanel’s sling bag, Chanel’s watch, Tiffany’s necklace, Ray’s perfu, and this cup of Fruit Leopard Coffee in front of you, whose selling price is per pound,” he remarked.
Huang Ruoran was stunned, as she did not expect that Xiao Luo could recognize all the branded items Ian had given her. And what he insinuated was clear enough, which made her feel like she was being mocked.
She imdiately reacted and said, “I swear to God, I’m not after his money. I only like him because he’s really nice to !”
“There’s no need for you to explain anything to . We’re only friends, and I am truly happy that you found soone to love. But as a person with more experience than you, I have to give you so advice—don’t regard your youth for granted, or it’ll cause you a lifeti of regret. Also, Ian is a man with a hidden side, so I advise you to stay away from him,” Xiao Luo said.
“I won’t leave him.”
Huang Ruoran was adamant. “It wasn’t easy for to et a guy I like, and he likes too. Xiao Luo, you are supposed to give your blessings instead of persuading to break up with him,” she said.
Xiao Luo frowned. “Why do I get the feeling that you chose him because of ?”
Huang Ruoran was taken aback and resented what Xiao Luo had said. “Yes, you’re right! The first ti I agreed to go out with him was because of your rejection. I felt depressed, and it was Ian who lifted from the doldrums. So, I want to thank you, Xiao Luo. If it weren’t for you, I would never have t Ian. He cares for and dotes on !”
