At 7:30 in the evening, after having dinner at the Mu family and helping Mu's mother wash the dishes, Mei Yali, accompanied by Mu Jingchen, slowly walked towards N University.

Originally, she didn't want Mu Jingchen to send her off.

First of all, she had walked this road more than once or twice, and nothing had ever happened.

Secondly, with her skills and alertness, even if she really encounters a bad guy, unless the other party is also trained or has a weapon in his hand, even if two or three people besiege her together, she has the confidence that she can escape unscathed.

But Mu's mother was very persistent. In her eyes, even if Mei Yali knew a little bit of fighting, she was undoubtedly a girl who needed protection and care. So even if Mei Yali thought it was unnecessary, Mu's mother still insisted on letting Mu Jingchen send her back to school.

"The alley two blocks away from your school has a residential area that is being demolished. There are a lot of people there, and the street lights are broken, with only one still on. I'm worried about you walking back by yourself." As she spoke, Mother Mu took out the key and handed it to Mu Jingchen, who had already changed his shoes.

Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu also agreed, so Mei Yali was honored to be escorted back to school by Mu Jingchen.

The two chatted as they walked, and after about ten minutes, the narrow alley that Mother Mu mentioned gradually appeared after they turned a corner.

Because of what Mother Mu said, Mei Yali took a curious look inside.

It was this glance that made her discover something was wrong.

She paused, reached out and tugged at Mu Jingchen's collar, "Ah Chen, look at that, does it look like a watch?"

Following the direction of her finger, Mu Jingchen indeed saw a round object about two or three steps into the alley. At this moment, the object was emitting a faint green fluorescence in the dark alley.

Under the illumination of the green fluorescence, the two men also took in the two thin pointers and the tiny scales that were impossible to tell which was which.

"Let's go in and take a look." He took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen, then walked into the alley first.

"Hey, this watch looks familiar." Mu Jingchen had just picked up the watch when Mei Yali, who had also turned on the screen of her mobile phone, exclaimed.

After being reminded by her, Mu Jingchen frowned and thought for half a second.

"It's more than a little familiar. It's exactly the same as Sister Tingting's."

The watch that Su Jingting owned was a birthday present her aunt brought back from Country Y for her when she was 16 years old. Because it was hard to come by, it is still very rare in City N today.

At least, Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali had only seen it on Su Jingting's wrist.

Looking at the long and narrow alley with only a dim street lamp, Mu Jingchen and Mei Yali's expressions suddenly became solemn.

"You stay here and call Sister Tingting, I'll go in and look for her." Mu Jingchen made a decision quickly, but Mei Yali refused to accept his division of labor.

"I'll go in with you." As she said this, she quickly dialed Su Jingting's phone number.

Of course Mu Jingchen would not agree, but before he could analyze the pros and cons, Mei Yali had already plunged into the alley.
