Xiao Man found a pharmacy near the building and bought some necessities.
"The total is..." The clerk suddenly paused, wanting to get a clear look at the person in front of her, "Are you..."
She felt that the face looked familiar.
Xiao Man kept her head down, with her baseball cap and sunglasses covering her face tightly.
"No need for change."
She placed a stack of money on the counter, grabbed her items, and left the pharmacy.
"Was that person just now... could it be the big star Xiao Man?" The clerk said to the people queuing behind her.
"Ah? Really? What did she buy?"
"Medicines for injuries... and some other things."
"No way? Is Xiao Man hurt? Besides, she wouldnât come to the pharmacy personally... She should have her assistant buy these things."
"Thatâs true... Maybe I was mistaken."
Xiao Man treated her wound in an alley and then sat down to rest for a while until her senses became clearer.
However, the alley wasnât exactly a hidden place, and anyone passing by and paying a bit of attention could notice someone there.
Soon after, a young couple passed by the entrance of the alley, the woman pointing inside and saying, "Honey... Is there someone in there... dead?"
"Should we call the police?"
Hearing their conversation, Xiao Man pulled her cap down even lower, stood up, and left through another exit of the alley.
She felt terrible.
She didnât know what kind of drug that woman had used on her, but her whole body was in a drowsy state, needing proper rest.
If she werenât Xiao Man, she could rest in any corner of the street, but being too conspicuous and getting recognized would cause a commotion, so she couldnât afford any delays.
Having no other choice, Xiao Man leaned against a wall and gave Gu Liancheng a call.
Ten minutes later, Gu Liancheng arrived at Xiao Manâs location, keeping it a secret from Eleven.
Gu Liancheng couldnât figure out the situation, but seeing Xiao Man looking groggy, he quickly helped her into the car.
Lying in his car, Xiao Manâs voice was filled with helplessness and a lack of strength as she spoke, "I never thought... the last person I could think of would be you..."
"What happened to you? Why are you dressed like this and showing up here? What happened?"
He could smell the antiseptic alcohol on her, a clear sign that she was injured.
"Qianxun just told me you two split up, werenât you followed by Li Sinianâs people? How did you get injured?"
"I donât have the strength to explain much now, I might lose consciousness soon, just listen to what I say..."
...
Following Xiao Manâs instructions, Gu Liancheng arrived at Las Vegas Entertainment City.
He carried her, pretending she was drunk, which drew some attention but didnât arouse any suspicion.
Gu Liancheng occasionally glanced aside, Li Sinianâs people were everywhere, making him even more puzzled, he quietly asked her, "Xiao Man... you seem to be involved in something significant, not just hiding it from me, but... does Li Sinian know nothing about it?"
Otherwise, she would have no reason to avoid his men!
When he arrived at the location she mentioned, entered the secret passage, and from there got back to a particular room, Gu Liancheng was even more astonished!
How did Xiao Man know about these things?
And if she was doing it this way, it was obvious Li Sinianâs people didnât know, otherwise, there was no reason...
"I need to rest..." Xiao Man closed her eyes, "His people are outside, you canât stay long. Leave the way we came, and Iâll tell you more later."
