Du Lai promised Fu Miaoxue that he would return quickly. Given the choice between detouring along the winding corridor and scaling the wall, the latter was obviously faster.
But if the person outside wasn't Du Lai, then who could it be?
All three stared at the figure with caution.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly tense.
Shen Mo pulled the piece of paper from his wrist. With a swoosh, it transformed into a dagger in his hand, and he told Bai Youwei and Fu Miaoxue in a low voice, "Both of you, step back."
Fu Miaoxue quickly grabbed Bai Youwei's arm!
Bai Youwei tugged twice but couldn't pull free.
Fu Miaoxue turned towards Shen Mo, her voice strained with tension, "Be careful. What if that's actually my boyfriend outside?"
Bai Youwei retorted internally, if it really was Du Lai, deliberately trying to scare them by lurking outside, he deserved a good slash.
Suddenly, Shen Mo sprang into action!
