Gao Jinmei sat waiting for Zhang Ting to touch the prohibitions, and once that happened, the alarms on the Storage Bag would go off, allowing her to "awaken." After that, she could openly and rightfully give Zhang Ting a beating. Qi Tian merely forbade her from killing Zhang Ting, so the worst she could do was leave Zhang Ting with severe injuries.
However, a scene Gao Jinmei hadn't anticipated unfolded before her. Zhang Ting's hand still passed through the Storage Bag without any hindrance, and with a swift grab, she retrieved several items.
This sight nearly startled Gao Jinmei into opening her eyes, but she reacted quickly and managed to steady her emotions. If she had carelessly released her presence, even for a split second, it could have spooked the quarry and ruined Qi Tian's plan.
