Jiang Xinhua hastily ran towards the alley and whistled upon entering. After receiving a response, he intentionally slowed down as he ran further in.
At this moment, Li Xianglu caught up and stood at the entrance of the alley shouting, "Stop running!"
Turning his head in feigned horror, Jiang Xinhua staggered backward upon seeing the person at the entrance of the alley, his face in disbelief, wondering to himself why Qin Xi was nowhere to be seen. Could he have gone to get reinforcements? No good. Then he threw himself forcefully to the ground from a distance, it looked as if he had been tripped up.
Usually, a pursuer would be glad to see the chased person tumble and would speed up to capture them, but Li Xianglu didn't play by the rules and stayed put, tilting her head as she observed the person struggling to get up from the ground.
