Chen Zhi stole a guilty glance at Chu Yan, wishing she could apologize to him, but Chu Yan responded with a smile that held no blame.
Chen Zhi's throat tightened with emotion, Chu Yan was truly a good person; even in such a moment he did not blame her at all.
After all, they were likely facing grave danger to their lives.
"Where exactly are you taking us?"
As they were led deeper and even the noises from the road outside became inaudible, Chu Yan couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart any longer.
If at this moment, they were truly to come to harm, even if they screamed for help nobody would hear them.
"Shut up and keep walking; we're almost there!"
The captors roughly hustled both of them deeper into the alley, then up an old, rickety iron staircase, and finally pushed them into a dim, musty room.
"Get in, and don't try anything, or I'll kill you both!" The man who was holding Chen Zhi shoved her, and she nearly fell to the ground.
