Chapter 497
At dawn the next day, Li Mochou returned unharmed. The fact that she returned without a hitch also indicated that she got nothing. Just as Cheng Dalei predicted, she was unable to catch up with Nie Yinniang, the assassin who killed people without a trace. If she really caught up with her, it was uncertain whether she would still be able to return alive.

Li Mochou stood outside the dungeon, talking to Cheng Dalei through a vent. Hence, Cheng Dalei could see her, but she couldn't see Cheng Dalei.
