Just as Gu Zhi finished her prayer, figures emerged, and one from each side grabbed her arms.
Opening her eyes in panic, Gu Zhi struggled, shouting, "Who are you? Why are you capturing me? Someone help! Help... Mmm..."
She was dragged into the villa and thrown onto the floor.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Dai snapped back to reality from her work. She glanced at Gu Zhi and instructed Wu Zhen, "Wu Zhen, please take the bodyguards and leave us."
Worried, Wu Zhen responded, looking at Gu Zhi warily, "Miss, perhaps I should stay with you. In case anything happens, I can protect you immediately."
Gu Dai gently shook her head, replying, "No need, Uncle Wu. I can handle myself. Besides, you'll only be outside. If anything goes wrong, I'll just call you."
Still concerned but seeing the determination in Gu Dai's eyes, Wu Zhen reluctantly agreed, "Alright."
Gu Zhi, looking paler upon recognizing Gu Dai, still fixed a fierce gaze upon her.
