Summer Kiss

Chapter 153 Note
Wang Yumo took the tote bag from the doorknob and brought it inside. She carefully pried open the staples and found an exquisite box inside.

Driven by curiosity, she opened the box, and a simple yet elegant black belt appeared before her eyes.

"Jiang Yuning, there is a man's belt inside."

Jiang Yuning looked up and was immediately stunned by what she saw.

The belt in Wang Yumo's hand was strikingly similar to the belt she had given to Fu Xicheng.

She walked over quickly, touching the belt in her hand.

Wang Yumo noticed the strange look in Jiang Yuning's eyes. "Jiang Yuning, what's wrong?"

“This belt is almost exactly the same as the one I gave to my boyfriend.”

She was filled with doubt. "I think the person who gave you the belt must have wanted to tell you something."

Jiang Yuning's thoughts were racing as she examined the belt in her hand.

Although this belt is the same style as the one she bought, the feel of this belt is completely different, and it's not in the same league at all.

Wang Yumo showed absolutely no interest in the belt in the box; she hummed a little tune as she walked into the bathroom.

What message was this person trying to convey by giving her the belt?

Jiang Yuning sorted out her thoughts. She lowered her head and carefully examined the box and belt. Suddenly, she touched something on the belt.

She quickly took out her eyebrow razor from her bag, cut open a bulge in her belt, and sure enough, she saw a folded note.

Jiang Yuning threw the belt on the bed and opened the note.

The note had a clear address and time on it.

The message also included the sentence: "If you want to know more about Fu Xicheng, come find me here."

Jiang Yuning clenched the note in her hand. The person who delivered the belt definitely had ill intentions towards her; it was clearly a trap.

Should she go or not?

But she was too eager to know how Fu Xicheng was doing.

Wang Yumo came out of the bathroom, her gaze falling on the belt. Her eyes held a mixture of surprise and confusion. "Jiang Yuning, why did you cut this belt?"

Jiang Yuning snapped out of her daze and forced a smile.

"This belt was a gift I gave to my boyfriend. I never expected it to end up here. I want to find out what it holds."

Wang Yumo nodded and changed the subject, "It's a pity you didn't go out to play. I bought some things at Mina Plaza, and there was a lucky draw. I was lucky enough to win the third prize."

"Congratulations, you're so lucky!" Jiang Yuning said with heartfelt congratulations.

Wang Yumo smiled brightly. "By the way, aren't you planning to go out for a stroll? I'm exhausted after a whole week."

Jiang Yuning pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I'll go out for a walk in a bit."

Wang Yumo didn't continue speaking, but instead lowered her head to organize the things she had just bought.

Jiang Yuning closed her laptop, took her phone, and went out.

Wang Yumo raised her head, a complex emotion flashing across her eyes, and sent a text message to someone on her phone.

Her eyes were filled with guilt as she murmured, "Jiang Yuning, I'm sorry, I really need this money."

Jiang Yuning walked out of the hotel, where a bustling and lively scene unfolded.

She unfolded the slip of paper in her hand, looked at the time and address on it, glanced at the time on her wrist, and then hailed a taxi to the location on the slip of paper. When she arrived near her destination, Jiang Yuning noticed it was a coffee shop. Instead of asking the driver to stop, she sat inside the car and looked out the window at the coffee shop.

A man was sitting in the coffee shop, his back to her, so she could only see his back.

Jiang Yuning changed her plans at the last minute, and had the driver continue driving for a few hundred meters before she got out of the car.

Jiang Yuning's eyes darted through the crowd, trying to find anyone suspicious. After realizing that there was nothing unusual around her, she went into a women's clothing store and carefully selected a top.

After she changed, she did not leave immediately.

Instead, they hid in a secluded corner, spying on the outside world.

Not far away, a female street cleaner came into her view.

Her face was completely covered by a mask, and she was busy sweeping the floor with her head down.

Jiang Yuning stared at the cleaner, and a bold idea popped into her head.

She called the shop owner over and paid for the dress she was wearing.

She quietly handed her a sum of money and whispered a few words in her ear.

The shop owner nodded, walked out of the women's clothing store, and called in the cleaning lady who was cleaning.

Jiang Yuning didn't beat around the bush; her voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Hello, Auntie. Someone is following me. I'd like to exchange clothes with you. Please sit here for half an hour before leaving. This 1000 yuan is your reward."

Upon hearing this, the cleaning lady's eyes lit up with surprise. She didn't immediately accept the offer, but instead asked with concern, "Young lady, why don't you choose to call the police for help?"

Jiang Yuning explained, "I'm worried that if I call the police, those people will run away. Auntie, can you help me with this?"

The cleaning lady thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuning quickly changed into a cleaning lady's uniform, put on a mask and hat, and walked out of the women's clothing store.

She returned to the cleaning lady's spot and continued sweeping the floor with a broom.

After sweeping for a few minutes, she took the broom and walked to a corner, secretly observing the surrounding crowd.

Finding nothing amiss, Jiang Yuning quickly left through a side alley.

She quickened her pace and walked forward along the alley.

Just as I was about to leave the alley, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the corner.

"Stop." A deep male voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yuning's heart tightened. She didn't stop, but instead ran forward as fast as she could.

"Don't run." The man clearly hadn't expected Jiang Yuning to run, and he quickly chased after her.

Jiang Yuning was unfamiliar with the streets of Kyoto. She turned left and right in the alleys, trying to shake off the people chasing her.

Her heart was racing, and sweat dripped down her forehead. She knew that as long as the people behind her didn't catch up, she would be safe.

Just then, Jiang Yuning spotted patrolling police officers ahead. She was about to shout for them to come and save her when the man pulled her into a hidden crevice from the side.

He covered Jiang Yuning's mouth and lowered his voice, "Don't speak, or even I won't be able to protect you."

Jiang Yuning opened her eyes wide and stared at the man in front of her with full vigilance. Was this man not here to arrest her?

Whose side is he on?
