Upon hearing Gu Luoxin's words, Shen Nianzu's breath caught in his throat and he immediately commanded in a hushed voice, "Leave the NPC behind and let's go!"
The trio sprinted down the corridor. Just as they turned into a corner, two people appeared from the opposite end. Shen Nianzu only had time to catch their silhouette – one tall and robust while the other petite and slender – before his sight was cut off by the wall. A woman's voice faintly drifted to his ears, sounding both amused and intrigued, "Huh, someone was here?"
Shen Nianzu's eyes darkened. As soon as he heard that voice, he knew that his previous conjecture was correct.
They took a detour to the staircase. After ensuring that nobody was within earshot, Shen Nianzu whispered to the two others, "Let's go straight to the crew areas."
Gu Luoxin was taken aback, "Don't we need to check on the balcony where the body was thrown off?"
