Chapter 1502: Chapter 1502: Journey of Escape (10)

Seeing the suddenly outstretched hand, Jiang Xue and Huo Cong were startled and instinctively wanted to fight back. At that moment, the person spoke, saying, "Friendly!"

After saying that, the person pulled hard, dragging the two into the nearby room. As soon as they entered, Jiang Xue was about to speak, but the person didn’t stop and led them through another door, continuing to walk inside.

They twisted and turned, walking for quite a while, before finally stopping.

It was only then that Jiang Xue saw clearly that the one who had pulled them was a young man. He looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a baby face, appearing like a high school student.

The man noticed Jiang Xue staring at him and grinned, saying, "Let me introduce myself, I’m..."

Before he could finish, Huo Cong became excited, forcefully patting the man on the shoulder, saying, "Wu Gang!"

Hearing someone call his name, Wu Gang was startled and then looked up at Huo Cong. Upon seeing him, he also became excited, stepped forward to hug Huo Cong, saying, "Little Bug, it’s you!"

"That’s right, it’s me." Huo Cong said happily. Regardless of being called by his nickname, they hugged for a while before letting go, then started talking about what had happened since their separation.

As for Jiang Xue, she had long been forgotten by the two. Watching them reminisce, Jiang Xue didn’t interrupt and took a seat beside them.

After talking for quite a while, they finally stopped and remembered there was someone else beside them. A bit embarrassed, they both apologized to Jiang Xue, saying, "Sorry, sis-in-law, we got so excited and completely forgot about you."

"It’s fine!" Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head, then asked, "How do you guys know each other?"

It’s natural for Jiang Xue to be curious, considering one was in South City and the other in HK, they were quite far apart. Even if they were comrades, how did Wu Gang end up here in HK?

"Sis-in-law, we were actually comrades who retired at the same time. I went back home afterwards, and then Boss called me here to protect you. As for Little Gangzi, he’s originally from Shenzhen since it’s close to here, so he came over to do business." Huo Cong explained with a smile.

Speaking of which, since retiring, they hadn’t seen each other in nearly five years.

"I see. Since Wu Gang is doing business here, do you know the people who were after us?"

"Sis-in-law is referring to Ah San, right? He’s quite a big shot in this area, not easy to deal with. By the way, how did you get tangled up with him?"

Upon hearing Wu Gang’s words, Jiang Xue and Huo Cong’s expressions turned grim as they recounted what had happened.

Wu Gang listened indignantly, saying, "This Ah San is too much. If he wants to find someone, he should just find them properly, why does he have to capture you guys?"

"Exactly. But since you offended him and now have saved us, will you be implicated?" Jiang Xue asked worriedly. If Ah San was as powerful as Wu Gang described, it was only a matter of time before he’d find them.

And if he found out Wu Gang was the one who saved them, he’d certainly redirect his anger towards Wu Gang.

"Sis-in-law, don’t worry, there’s no way he’ll know it was me who rescued you. But for the next few days, I’ll have to trouble you to stay here and lay low."

"Alright!" Jiang Xue nodded, considering the fact that Ah San’s men would likely be keeping a close watch nearby. It was indeed not advisable to go out, so laying low was for the best.
