These people saw Xu Niannian and Hu Yue splitting up and hesitated.
A skinny guy asked, "Hey, boss, they've split up, who should we follow?"
With a "snap," the skinny guy received a slap on the head from his boss, "Of course, we follow the prettier one."
The skinny guy covered his head, his face a picture of misery, "But they are both beautiful."
"Pah, the better-looking one," the boss said.
They were mainly responsible for capturing Xu Niannian; it took them several days of inquiry to confirm who they were supposed to snatch.
So the group changed direction and followed behind Xu Niannian.
As for Hu Yue, she calmly found a place to hide.
Xu Niannian walked into an alleyway that was quite deep, with a turn at the end; once you reached the corner, you'd be completely out of sight from the main road, and whatever happened inside, people outside would be none the wiser.
The boss rubbed his hands together, his smile unsavory, "We really got lucky without trying."
