Something was off. Chen Xiaolong heightened his alertness, feeling a deep wariness towards the cold and indifferent man who had suddenly appeared.
The reason was simple: the man had an unfamiliar face, not someone from the village. Over there, road construction was underway, and it was rare for anyone to take the shortcut into the village. This guy's sudden appearance suggested he might be up to something.
"Where are you from, this is Dahe Village, are you looking for someone or is there something else?"
Chen Xiaolong frowned and patiently asked while sizing up the stranger.
The aloof man appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a crew cut and wearing black sunglasses that hid his eyes. But the man's physique was sturdy, and his movements were agile, which was clearly not that of an ordinary person.
Sure enough, the man moved with a light step, and with just a slight touch of his toes, he was rushing towards Chen Xiaolong, the corner of his mouth turning up in a curve.
