Chapter 0540: The Emperor's Whereabouts
Gao Jinmei, while on duty, dared not slacken in the slightest. Born an assassin, she was well aware of the various tactics she might encounter; therefore, she had made some specific arrangements in the surrounding area. The power of these arrangements might not be considerable, but they were highly sensitive, with very low triggering conditions, making them quite effective for early warnings. In addition to that, Gao Jinmei used a secret technique she had mastered to conceal herself, hiding in a corner that was difficult for outsiders to discover, while secretly surveilling everything around her.
Initially, Gao Jinmei made these arrangements out of the belief that it's always good to be careful, but as the time gradually approached midnight, a minor restriction she had placed several miles away was broken. Gao Jinmei immediately sensed it and was instantly on alert.
