Chapter 297

• Staying Alert in a Small City
• Kent advised me to stay vigilant, emphasizing that in such a small city, Yu Qing could show up at my door at any moment. I nodded and bid him farewell, but as I walked alone, I couldn't shake off a sense of unease. If Yu Qing does come looking for me, how should I handle the situation? Can I simply ignore him, despite the lack of emotional connection between us? I questioned myself, knowing that my softhearted nature would make it difficult to remain resolute. With a sigh, I decided to deal with it when the time comes.
• Just a few steps ahead, I spotted Mr. Adler standing at the corner of the run-down alley, waiting for me. He stood alone, holding a cigarette, and the faint glow of the ember became the only source of light in the dark alley.
