"Liao Nai has been kidnapped by the imperial family. I'm going to save him right now," Liao Ning hurriedly explained, knowing that Nana would periodically glance back at her, leaving no room for a lengthy explanation. She swiftly caught up with Nana.

Zhou Ling discreetly pocketed the hair before hastening to catch up, leaving behind his lingering thoughts.
Following Nana, Liao Ning arrived at a warehouse situated in the rebel army's backyard. To her surprise, a small military aircraft was parked inside.
