Chapter 211: Chapter 208: A Lucky Mistake! Bumping into Him!
Huo Qi wanted to try to say something more, but he directly saw them entering that pitch-black building.
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided to stay behind.
Everything around him was dark, with light only available near the street at the entrance of the alley.
As soon as Wen Xian and the others went up, they knocked directly on her door.
Soon, footsteps could be heard from inside.
As soon as the door opened, the woman inside instantly reacted with an unconscious remark, “You’ve come so——”
However, upon seeing who the visitors were, the words stuck in her throat.
“You, why have you come over?”
Fang Zhi regained her composure and asked gently with a slight smile.
“What do you mean? You killed our dog, how could we not come over?!”
Wen Xian said this and kicked open the anti-theft door of her house, then pushed past her and stormed in.
Who was Fang Zhi waiting for just now?
The hurry to open the door and the words she had spoken clearly weren’t meant for them.
As soon as Wen Xian entered, she began to search the entire house.
She really wished that Fang Zhi was lying to her, that she liked the little dog so much she wanted to keep it for herself, but after a thorough search, she didn’t see any trace of it.
Her heart instantly felt more oppressive and heavy.
At this moment, Fang Zhi’s face seemed to pale slightly, and with a look of shame and pain, she said, “I’m truly sorry, I didn’t watch it carefully, the street down here has too many cars——”
Wen Xian took a deep breath, one hand supporting her forehead while the other gestured dismissively, “Don’t talk to me about that; where is the dog now, where did you bury it? We want to take it away!”
She was striving to hold back the urge to lash out at her.
At these words, Bai Zhi’s body stiffened, her gaze flickered momentarily, and when she spoke again, she slowly said,
“The place is a bit far, there was nowhere nearby to bury it, so how about this, I arrange for you to stay in a hotel nearby tonight, and I’ll take you there tomorrow.”
While saying this, she seemed to glance at her watch unintentionally, her eyes drifting towards the window.
Wen Xian wanted to say more, but just then, Sang Nian leaned over and whispered in her ear, half-covering her mouth with her hand,
“Sister Xian, I’ve looked everywhere, there’s no dog hair on the ground, not even a dog bowl.”
At this revelation, Wen Xian tensed up.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the apartment building.
Huo Qi stood in the pitch darkness for a while and started to feel less afraid.
Since he’d never been to this kind of place before, he looked around curiously at everything, and even paused at a potency-enhancing ad on an electric pole at the nearby corner.
Just then, a small van brushed past him. Since it was a corner, the van slowed down, and faint voices could be heard from inside.
Huo Qi was slightly startled and by the time he reacted, the van had driven away, stopping a short distance ahead under an apartment building.
He didn’t pay it much attention and walked over there first, intending to check on Wen Xian and Sang Nian.
However, at that moment, he suddenly saw someone get out of the van.
The person wasn’t tall and was somewhat chubby, wearing a hat, and directly entered the building.
When Huo Qi approached the van, he heard some noises from inside.
To be precise, there were sounds of metal clanging and perhaps… sounds made by some creature?
