The barbarians had almost caught up with him while he was answering Xiao Bai's call.
While waiting for Fan Shixin, An Xiaoning had already torn up the bottom segment of her shirt. Due to the fact that she was in a hurry to rush out earlier, she didn't bring anything to mask her face and was simply dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts. Hence, she had no choice but to tear off some fabric from her shirt to tie around her face, leaving her abdomen bare and exposed.
The people chasing her were exhausted beyond limits. They slowed down to catch their breaths upon noticing that she had stopped running.
One of the men inside the car alighted and asked in puzzlement, "What's going on? Weren't we chasing a man? Why has he become a woman? Are they in cahoots?"
An Xiaoning could recognize the familiar voice: it was from one of the men whom she had heard in the wooden house previously.
