Marriage in crisis

I pushed open the car door and got out, walked to the entrance of the alley, and looked inside from a distance. I saw Shi Yating walking inside with big and fast strides, as if she was very anxious.

I thought about it for a moment, then raised my leg and followed in.

Shi Yating didn't look back, but walked straight forward. I followed her carefully. There were shops on both sides of the road, hardware, restaurants, hair salons, barbecue restaurants... everything.

The road was long. When I followed her for 500 meters, I saw Shi Yating go straight into a pharmacy on the street.

I didn’t dare to go any further, so I stood in front of a small supermarket and deliberately looked at the fruits displayed at the door.

But his eyes were always fixed in the direction of the pharmacy, but he didn't see Shi Yating come out.

I was suspicious, maybe there was a back door here and he escaped?

It seems that stalking is definitely not an easy job, especially since Shi Yating knows me.

But I'm sure she didn't notice me.

The supermarket owner came out and asked me, "Beauty, would you like to buy some pears? These are authentic Crown pears, very sweet and juicy!"

"How much is one pound?" I asked with a smile, and then asked sweetly, "Big sister, is there a connection to the back here?"

"Yes, there's a residential area behind it." She reached out, pulled down a bag, and handed it over.

I had no choice but to reach out and take the bag, put a few pears in it, weigh it, and scan the code.

Then I quickly carried the pears and ran straight to the pharmacy, groaning in my heart, it seems I lost him.

Sure enough, when I walked into the drugstore, there was only a clerk inside, and there was no sign of Shi Yating.

I looked around the pharmacy casually and asked the clerk, "Can I go out to the community behind here?"

The clerk looked up at me before saying, "Okay, go to the back."

Apparently, the clerk didn't really like people walking through the hall.

I thought about it for a moment, then walked directly in the direction the clerk pointed with the bag in hand.

If the clerk hadn't pointed this passage out to me, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that the corridor behind this is a small warehouse, with a bathroom and a small kitchen, and then a small door leading to the outside.

It seems that Shi Yating must be very familiar with this place, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get out of here so accurately.

I was just hesitating whether to leave from here, when I heard Chi Xi's voice coming from behind, "Sister!"

I stretched out my hand to push the door, paused, and immediately turned back.

I did see Chi Xi just walk in, and he looked at me and waved.

I quickly covered up and said, "I thought you went to the community behind. I just asked the clerk and he said you can get through here!"

"Well, I have delivered all the things! We can go now!" Chi Xi also responded to my words and cooperated seamlessly.

I quickly said to the clerk who was looking at us, "Thank you!"

He followed Chi Xi out of the pharmacy, and then they strode out to the street together.

When we got back to the car, I asked her, "What happened? Did you see where the 'piranha plant' went?"

Chi Xi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I entered the same residential area as Shi Yating! Fortunately, you notified me in time, otherwise we would have bumped into each other."

"Are you sure where it is?" I asked anxiously.

"I saw her enter a unit on the last floor, but I'm not sure which floor or which room she entered." Chi Xi said regretfully, "I wanted to follow her in, but when you said Shi Yating was coming, I hid for a while, and ended up missing her! This is not an elevator, but a staircase, so I didn't dare to follow her in!"

"Didn't you see Shi Yating go in?" I asked again.

She shook her head. "When I came out and looked again, Shi Yating had disappeared. I'll come back later. It's a bit too obvious at this moment, but the fact that these two people came here means they should be together. Don't disturb them for now!"

"The 'Piranha Plant' is with Shi Yating?" I was a little uneasy. "Who on earth is Shi Yating? Look at the people around her. She is a dangerous person."

"As long as she interacts with the Piranha Plant, it's definitely not a good thing." Chi Xi said with a bit of disdain, and then started the car, "Let's go back first! We can't go to the island anymore, we have to figure out what their purpose is."

"Why don't I understand? This carnivorous plant has been following Wen Minji, so why did it suddenly return to Qingcheng? What could be its purpose? But there is no one in Qingcheng that they can pay attention to!" I looked at Chi Xi and asked.

Chi Xi paused abruptly, stopped the car with one foot, looked back at me, and murmured, "Could it be... something is wrong!"
