Chapter 328: Chapter 328 Vanished into Thin Air
As soon as Qiu Mingzi heard Gu Mengyang’s question, he blurted out a name, "Meng Xiao!"
"Her name is Meng Xiao! I know her; she’s a female celebrity, very famous, I know her!"
Gu Mengyang listened to Qiu Mingzi’s unhesitant reply, his eyes darkening slightly, "You know her name, so you’re quite familiar with her?"
"No, not familiar, she’s so popular, and her information is all over the internet. I just did a quick search online and found it."
Indeed, Qiu Mingzi had looked up Meng Xiao before.
Meng Xiao was pretty and generous with her spendings. Seeing how generous she was, he wanted to develop her into a long-term meal ticket. So, he made some effort to look her up, only to find that he didn’t need to search at all since her information was readily available online.
Hearing Qiu Mingzi’s answer, Gu Mengyang was unsure whether to believe him or not. He didn’t speak further and kept Qiu Mingzi pinned against the wall, his gaze slightly lowered as he seemed lost in thought.
Qiu Mingzi noticed that Gu Mengyang was distracted and his eyes, gleaming sharply, spun around several times. The hands that were bound behind him quietly moved into his broad sleeves.
By the time his fingers came out of the sleeves again, they were holding a yellow talisman.
A hint of maliciousness flashed through his eyes, and as Qiu Mingzi clutched the yellow talisman, he murmured a spell under his breath.
The preoccupied Gu Mengyang suddenly felt a burning sensation on his hand and instinctively let go.
No sooner had he released Qiu Mingzi than the man who had just been pinned against the wall vanished into thin air.
Seeing this, Gu Mengyang furrowed his brow and reached out toward the empty space.
He touched nothing.
Now, Gu Mengyang was certain that Qiu Mingzi had indeed disappeared out of thin air.
While Gu Mengyang was feeling morose and puzzled over Qiu Mingzi’s departure, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him.
Gu Mengyang’s expression became focused, and he quickly stepped aside.
Then, Gu Mengyang saw a crack appearing on the wall of the corridor.
Seeing this, a chill ran up his spine, thinking that had the blow landed on him, he would have split open like the wall.
After dodging the first attack, the second one quickly followed.
Gu Mengyang, unable to see Qiu Mingzi, could only rely on the gusts of wind and the unfamiliar presence to discern Qiu Mingzi’s location.
Several exchanges later, although Gu Mengyang was not injured, he gained no advantage due to his invisibility.
Gu Mengyang’s brows were tightly knitted as he dodged Qiu Mingzi’s sneak attacks, all the while trying to figure out how to subdue him.
Before he could come up with a plan, Qiu Mingzi’s sneak attacks ceased.
No unfamiliar presence approached him anymore, and Gu Mengyang slightly twisted his brows.
Could it be that he had left?
Gu Mengyang slowly moved to stand by the wall, remaining vigilant, carefully listening to the sounds around him.
However, three or four minutes passed and Qiu Mingzi still hadn’t made a move.
The enemy was in the shadows, and he was exposed. He had to stay utterly vigilant to prevent any sneak attack from Qiu Mingzi; the experience was anything but pleasant.
Gu Mengyang did not like this passive feeling at all.
As Qiu Mingzi continued to make no move, Gu Mengyang looked around and saw no sign of activity. The wariness in his eyes began to dissipate.
He turned slightly, pulled over the chair that had been kicked aside earlier, placed it in front of the office door, picked up the documents from the chair, and sat down. He opened the files and began to read with lowered gaze.
The files were turned one page after another. When he reached the fifth page, a burning pain transmitted from Gu Mengyang’s shoulder.
As the pain shot through him, Gu Mengyang moved, throwing the files he was holding to the ground. Like a cheetah ready to snatch its prey, he pounced toward a certain direction behind him.
