I Received Messages From Future Self!

Fang Xiaocao, after revealing the hotel being used as bait to Zhi Qi, put down her phone and adjusted the seat of the Wuling Hongguang.

The Wuling Hongguang rented by Fang Xiaocao had privacy film on all its windows. To be cautious, she didn’t sit in the driver’s seat but in the back of the van, where she could observe her own red convertible Land Rover.@@novelbin@@

Thinking it over, Fang Xiaocao picked up her phone and switched it to silent mode, to prevent the ringing from betraying her position.

While chatting with Aquarius once, Fang Xiaocao had heard that some people’s ears were exceptionally sensitive, capable of picking up the sounds of normal-volume conversations between a driver and passenger inside a stationary vehicle, even through a distance of over a dozen meters.

So, Fang Xiaocao turned off the vibration mode as well.

[Zhi Qi: Wait for us, we will arrive soon.]

[Zhi Qi: Since you drove here, that’s great, is the car parked underground?]

[Zhi Qi: In which area? We’ll park right next to your car so we can leave together when we go.]

“Hehe…”

Seeing Zhi Qi’s messages, Fang Xiaocao chuckled.

Now, Fang Xiaocao had firmly added Zhi Qi to her list of suspects.

Zhi Qi talked a bit too much.

It was abnormal, she seemed eager to know my position, and the location of my car.

What normal person would ask about the exact spot of a parked car?

There’s no shortage of parking spaces here.

And the hotel entrance has plenty of temporary parking spots, too.

They wouldn’t be staying long at the hotel; parking in the temporary spots right outside would suffice, no need to drive into the underground garage.

Compared to what Zhi Qi said about parking underground to conveniently leave together, it would actually be more convenient to park in the temporary spots above ground and for me to drive up to meet them.

“You’re so eager; let me guess, what’s your aim?”

Fang Xiaocao lay back in the rear seat of the Wuling Hongguang, looking at the ceiling of the car while murmuring to herself.

“Are you planning to tamper with my car?”

Fang Xiaocao blinked and muttered to herself.

Sitting up, Fang Xiaocao began to reply to Zhi Qi’s messages.

“That’s right, my car is parked in the underground parking lot, in area D!”

Fang Xiaocao straightforwardly exposed the location of her car, the red convertible Land Rover, to Zhi Qi.

She wanted to see if anyone would come to the underground parking lot to find her car and tamper with it.

[Zhi Qi: Okay, we will be there soon.]

Zhi Qi sent another message.

“Come on, I’m waiting for you!”

Fang Xiaocao replied with a message carrying a deeper meaning.

Fang Xiaocao lay back on the rear seat again, her bright eyes fixed on the time displayed on her phone screen, her ears keenly listening to every rustle outside the car.

Five minutes later!

The sound of a vehicle entering the underground parking lot reached her ears.

Fang Xiaocao was startled and sat up.

“Have they arrived?”

“Could it be that the person in the shadows isn’t Zhi Qi?”

Upon hearing the sound of the car, Fang Xiaocao’s first reaction was that Zhi Qi and company had arrived.

In Fang Xiaocao’s mind, if someone intended to meddle with her car, they would likely come to the underground parking lot secretly, fearing to attract attention or leave traces.

They probably wouldn’t drive into the underground parking lot.

The entrance to the underground parking lot is monitored.

Driving in through the entrance would not only leave vehicle information but also a clear image. Even if an attempt was made to disguise one’s face, it would still provide forensic experts with a lot of reference information.

Say, tracking the vehicle’s information and travel paths.

And maybe an expert sketch artist could even draw a person’s face from the front image.

This is not professional!

Fang Xiaocao leaned on the window and peered through the privacy film at the slowly approaching car.

It was a black Hyundai SUV.

“This isn’t Zhi Qi’s car!”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

“Things are getting interesting now.”

“Is it a coincidence?”

“Or is it the not-so-professional Mr. Assassin?”

Fang Xiaocao’s lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Fang Xiaocao pressed her face against the car window, eyes fixed on the movements of the modern SUV.

“Screech~”

The sound of brakes filled the air as the modern SUV came to a stop next to Fang Xiaocao’s red convertible Land Rover.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.

“Could it really be our unprofessional Mr. Assassin?”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself.

From the driver’s seat of the SUV, a door swung open, and a long, black-stockinged leg came into Fang Xiaocao’s view.

“Such long legs?”

Even Fang Xiaocao, a woman herself, was somewhat dazzled by the sight of that slender leg.

“How tall could she be?”

“This woman must be at least one meter eighty, right?”

Seeing the tall woman in high heels descend from the modern SUV, Fang Xiaocao was shocked.

Such a tall girl was a rare sight, even in the North.

She stood out like a crane amongst chickens.

That height would draw attention wherever she went.

“Doesn’t fit the assassin’s profile, does it?”

Fang Xiaocao blinked and muttered to herself.

Aquarius was indeed a very professional assassin. In her free time, Fang Xiaocao had learned quite a few strange and intriguing snippets of knowledge from Aquarius—things she normally wouldn’t come across.

The ideal physical characteristics for a male assassin were someone with a plain face and average height, someone who could blend into a crowd without drawing any attention.

The selection criteria for female assassins, although different from males, tended to favor someone with a good figure and moderate looks, but certainly not someone who stood out like a sore thumb.

The woman pretended her car was broken down, circling around the modern SUV while occasionally kicking the tires with her high-heeled foot.

But Xiaocao keenly noticed that although the woman seemed to be inspecting the SUV, her eyes kept darting around suspiciously, as if she were scoping out the terrain.

After confirming that no one was around, the woman pulled out her phone, glanced at its screen, and also looked over Fang Xiaocao’s red convertible Land Rover’s license plate and exterior.

It appeared she was making comparisons.

“So she really is scoping the place out!”

Xiaocao blinked, quietly muttering in surprise.

Suddenly, the woman put away her phone, looked towards the Wuling Hongguang, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked over.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in her mind:

“How intriguing!”

“Why is she coming towards me?”

“Could I have been exposed?”

In an instant, Fang Xiaocao’s muscles tensed, and she stealthily reached for the Flying Dagger she carried.

If this woman made any sudden moves, Xiaocao was ready to strike and fight for her life.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The woman stretched out her hand and knocked on the Wuling Hongguang’s window.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Hello, is anyone there?”

“My car broke down, could I borrow some tools?”

The woman’s voice reached Fang Xiaocao’s ears.

Fang Xiaocao hesitated, then let out a slight sigh of relief.

It was merely a probe, and she hadn’t been exposed.

The woman waited a moment, but seeing no response from inside the car, she actually pressed her face against the privacy film, trying to get a glimpse of what was happening inside.

“This woman’s face…?”

As they faced each other through the privacy film, Fang Xiaocao suddenly made a surprising discovery.
