Not letting herself think further, she quickened her steps and started running in the heavy rain.
Not knowing how far behind, a car came from behind her, its lights growing closer and brighter.
They made the road ahead of her even brighter.
The car slowed down when it reached her side, just slightly faster than her running pace, and stopped just ahead of her.
Ji Anning had noticed that the car had stopped for her, so she also slowly halted, glanced at the vehicle, an unfamiliar car with an unfamiliar license plate.
Who is it?
She felt a bit scared and watched the opening rear door of the car warily.
Two tall, sharply dressed women got out of the car, each holding an umbrella, and walked in unison towards Ji Anning, who stepped back.
"Who are you?"
"Miss Niannian."
As the two women approached, one of them nodded slightly to Ji Anning, called her name, and offered the umbrella she was holding to Ji Anning.
This address... Charles!
