Suddenly, the sound of something being knocked to the ground outside the door caused the footsteps to stop abruptly. The footsteps then retreated, possibly to check what had happened outside.
Xu Weilai heavily sighed in relief, but she also knew that it was too early to let her guard down. The person could return any time. She opened the door of the wardrobe immediately and quickly tiptoed out onto the terrace.
As she was tying the rope around her waist, she heard the sound of the footsteps heading back into the room. She hurried to knot the rope and climb over the railing!
Just as the person stepped into the room, she gathered all her strength and jumped towards the terrace on the other side. When she landed, she saw that the person's foot had extended out onto the terrace!
Xu Weilai didn't have enough time to untie her rope, so she laid down on the ground. When the person looked over, she rolled her way back into the room.
