Lu Jingyan was startled for a moment, hastily hung up the phone, and turned to run downstairs.
She was in a hurry. Her legs hit something hard twice, but she continued as if she felt nothing, dashing to the door, and pushed it open to enter the yard.

In the blink of an eye, she had run to the courtyard entrance and suddenly felt a sense of unreality. She couldn't help but slow down, took a deep breath in front of the closed door, and then lifted her hand to pull it open.
She walked out holding her breath, carrying an unprecedented nervousness, and slowly turned her head.
Her mind went blank for a few seconds, and then the hand she'd been clenching suddenly relaxed, silently letting out a sigh of relief.
