Those footsteps sounded unusually clear in the dark…
As they inched closer to where Ji Chi and Qu Jingwan was, they held their breaths and did not dare to make a peep.
The footsteps sounded clearer now in the darkness…
Their hearts were beating wildly as well.
Seeing that Qiao Jingyun was about to reach them, the boy anxiously hid inside a cabinet which was near the young lady.
As careful as he was, the boy still made some noise.
"Who's there?!"
The woman, who was paying attention to any sound of movements, heard the noise made by him.
She quickly walked to where the two were.
Her eyes were quickly drawn to the sight of the pitiful Qu Jingwan, who was still in a kneeling position while tied up.
"Wu wu wu!"
The latter began struggling when she saw the former, trying to cover up for the boy.
Her elbow unintentionally hit the cabinet where the boy was hiding in and it made some noise.
