"Hurry up... hurry up..." Chen Ke waited in the alley, muttering under his breath while tapping the ground with the tip of his foot. He was not an impatient man, but this Parker was just too clumsy...
Chen Ke had seen him linger in one spot for more than a few minutes, multiple times, and it didn't seem like he was checking files. He was probably just hiding.
Tap, tap, tap...
The sound of bare feet hitting the ground reached Chen Ke's ears. His ears twitched and, turning his head, he saw a woman in a gray, thin gown running towards him.
The woman wasn't running fast. She clutched her abdomen with both hands, and her gown was heavily stained with blood. Under the moonlight, her blonde hair seemed almost white.
Chen Ke immediately became alert. He took a step back involuntarily; the woman was still several dozen meters away. She tried to scream, but only a hissing sound came out. As she got closer, Chen Ke saw her throat had been slit.
