Chapter 1789: Lying Little Apple
"Have you tracked down Bruce's men?"
The secret guard shook his head. The surveillance center did not convey any information. Because Bruce went missing, Bruce's men separated into two paths after his call with Ye Chu. One path led towards New York while the other led towards the Mexico borders. With the numbers diminished and the targets dispersed, it was difficult to track them down. They lost information about them gradually. Luckily, they were arriving in New York soon.
"I don't need to stay in a hotel. I can endure it." After Ye Chu's fever subsided, her eyes were very bright. There were not a lot of cars in the night. If they drove quickly, they would reach the MISS Building within two hours. They did not even need to wait until two or three in the morning. There would be no congestion within the city at this timing either.
"You can tolerate it?"
"I can tolerate it," said Ye Chu.
Mu Yuan nodded. "Okay. I'll buy you some drinks to replenish your energy. Go to the car first."
He entered the shop to buy the stuff. Ye Chu yawned, turned around, and went to the car. She carelessly collided with a middle-aged woman who was walking out and talking on the phone. She was carrying a little bag and was calling someone. Ye Chu's mental state was not good due to her high fever. The woman talked very quickly, and she seemed nervous. The two of them did not pay attention and walked into each other.
Ye Chu lowered her head and picked up the little bag hurriedly. The middle-aged woman also picked up her phone and ended the call quickly. "I'm sorry, I…"
"Nanny?" Ye Chu raised her head, looked at the middle-aged woman, and blurted the word out. She was a fashionably-dressed woman with a seductive figure. She felt like a rich, elite woman from head to toe, and she wore a dark red gemstone ring on her finger. She maintained herself very well, with auburn curls draping naturally on her shoulders. The deep V-cut dress revealed a voluptuous chest, and she wore a pair of high heels. Her eyes were also very sharp.
The middle-aged woman did not hear how Ye Chu addressed her. She glanced at her and took the bag. Ye Chu did not release her grip. "Little girl?"
"Nanny, don't you recognize me?" Ye Chu suddenly revealed a gentle smile. The light from the roadside lamps fell on her cheeks, revealing a pale yet gentle face. "Look at my eyes carefully."
The rich woman looked at her like she was crazy. She was about to start scolding her when Ye Chu narrowed her eyes slightly.
The rich woman suddenly lost her voice, as if someone was choking her throat. Ye Chu smiled firmly yet warmly. "Nanny, do you recognize me now?"
When Mu Yuan walked out of the store, he saw Ye Chu and a middle-aged woman clutching the same bag. The middle-aged woman suddenly let out a shriek and escaped rapidly, not even wanting the bag anymore. Her heels were too high, and she tripped, rolling over on the floor a couple of times. Mu Yuan felt the pain even by watching her. She got up frantically, turned her head around, and looked at Ye Chu in terror. She pounced towards her sports car and drove away hurriedly.
"Ye Chu, what's wrong with her? She looks like she had seen a ghost."
Ye Chu tilted her head. The little Loli looked like she had been possessed by a ghost. Her pale face from the fever had a hint of a smile. "Who knows? Maybe she really saw a ghost. I only tricked her for a little while. Look at how hurried she is. She even yelled the wrong name."
Mu Yuan was confused. What's going on?
Ye Chu pulled her coat tighter towards her and looked at the bag casually. There were a few fruits and two bottles of water. She threw them into the rubbish bin. She told Mu Yuan. "I can't wait to get back to MISS building."
"What happened to you? We share an escort relationship of a few thousand kilometers. Don't scare me."
"You are so cowardly?"
"Yes, everyone knows that I'm a coward."
