Chapter 1963 - 1899: Footprints Taken

Time was too tight before, and the situation was too chaotic at that moment. She only had time to send Meng Xinian into the space and didn’t have a chance to check if there were any traces left behind.

But Meng Xinian didn’t have any external injuries, so there shouldn’t be any traces left behind, right?

The man checked very carefully, because it was quite a while before he stood up again. He looked at the tavern owner and said, "Get me two sheets of white paper and a pen."

"Huh?" The tavern owner was stunned and couldn’t react.

The man’s voice was very cold, "Do I need to say it a second time?"

"Ah, no no no, no need, I’ll get it right away, I’ll get it right away."

The tavern owner quickly brought him two sheets of white paper and a pen. The man took the items and crouched down again.

Chiang Xiao instinctively looked at her shoes and Meng Xinian’s feet.

When she changed his clothes earlier, she had already removed his shoes. But his feet were not small, his shoe size was not small either, and the leather shoes he wore were manufactured domestically...

Chiang Xiao was shocked.

Is this man really trying to get footprints?

Snow was falling outside, and their shoe soles were wet. After rushing in, there should have been footprints, but so much time had passed; the footprints should have dried and become invisible.

Could it be that he has a way to make the footprints appear?

Not long after, the man stood up again.

Chiang Xiao was astonished to find two footprints on those two sheets of paper.

One large, one small.

The prints were incredibly clear; even the sole pattern was visible! With just a quick glance, she could recognize that it was indeed her and Meng Xinian’s shoes!

Oh my God.

Chiang Xiao instinctively covered her mouth.

Does this man have some kind of reagent? So powerful?

The man shook the two sheets of paper and then carefully folded them up and put them in his pocket.

Without looking at the tavern owner, he walked out.

As he left, the tavern door slammed, startling the tavern owner again.

He seemed to be scared, too, and didn’t dare to stay here alone. He tidied up briefly and left quickly.

The tavern fell into darkness.

Chiang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, relaxing completely.

Originally she wanted to leave quickly and return to the hotel, because if she didn’t go back, the teacher and Dai Gang would be worried.

But now she changed her mind.

That man made her feel very dangerous.

She had a feeling that the night was deep now, and there wouldn’t be people moving outside. Those people might still be hiding in the dark, waiting for her to appear. It’s too risky to go out now.

Moreover, what if the man was still lurking, watching this tavern?

So she decided to wait until dawn to leave.

It’s inconvenient in this era, if they all had mobile phones, she could call Dai Gang and the others to relieve their worries through the night.

But now she has no way to contact them.

She can only hope that Dai Gang and Liu Guoying won’t come looking for them, but stay well at the hotel and wait for her to return tomorrow.

Chiang Xiao thought about it, took off the small leather shoes she wore, and put them away in the shoe cabinet.

Just in case, she won’t wear these shoes for the next few days.

Because these shoes were also worn domestically, the sole pattern might be rare in Country Y.

She also plans to go out tomorrow and buy a pair of locally popular shoes.

As for Meng Xinian’s shoes, she doesn’t know if those people saw Meng Xinian clearly.
