Song Yan was somewhat shocked as Gu Chenxiao had already closed the door. Not long after, a series of footsteps passed by outside.
They took a round and not much later returned.
Then, the sound of talking followed, with a bodyguard communicating with others over the walkie-talkie.
"There's nothing on the sixteenth floor, how about your side?"
"Nothing on the fifth floor either, heading to the sixth now."
Song Yan couldn't help but clench her fists tighter.
This was a search operation happening simultaneously, from top to bottom.
"Everyone be careful, the young miss is very cunning, don't miss any detail. If we can't find her and Qin Wang knows we lost her, none of us will have it easy!"
The voices gradually faded away, finally disappearing.
Song Yan furrowed her brows, her expression grave.
Gu Chenxiao said, "Didn't you mention that those people were sent by Qin Wang to protect you? So, why are you hiding?"
Song Yan bit her lip and said nothing.
