After the elevator doors opened, the youth took the lead out of the elevator, with Gu Zhiqi and Qiao Qingshu closely following behind.
Once they exited the elevator and walked down a not-so-long hallway, they reached a corner, and all three simultaneously turned in the same direction without prior arrangement.
After turning the corner, they could faintly hear the chaotic sound of footsteps and muffled "hmm hmm hmm" sounds.
Hearing this noise, the three of them paused briefly in unison, then quickened their pace.
As they rounded the corner, they saw a group of people pushing a girl along the hallway towards them, and the gagged girl was incessantly grunting "hmm hmm hmm."
Noticing the trio's approach, the group stopped in their tracks and watched them warily.
When the group halted, Gu Zhiqi and his team also stopped.
The captive girl, seeing the direction of the three, suddenly brightened her eyes and vigorously struggled, frantically grunting at Gu Zhiqi and his companions.
