After parting ways with Xu Yi, Rong Qi insisted on driving herself home, refusing any offer from Lu Chengzhou to escort her.
Despite his protests, Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to relent. He showered her with a barrage of warnings and instructions before she drove off in her own car.
The night was still, the air crisp. Rong Qi lowered her car window halfway, allowing the cool breeze to caress her face, momentarily dissolving the turmoil within her. However, just as she started to clear her mind, she heard a distant cry for help.
Frowning slightly, Rong Qi hit the brakes and listened attentively. Sure enough, cries for help were emanating from a narrow alley not too far away. Making a quick U-turn, she drove toward the source of the noise.
In the alley, the sound of struggle reached Rong Qi's ears. "Let go of me! You bunch of scumbags! Let go!"
