The corridor is not far from the back courtyard, and Jiang Ning, of course, also heard Chen Ergou's screams of agony.
However, precisely because she heard that only Chen Ergou was screaming, she knew that Qi Xingzhou had the upper hand, so Jiang Ning did not come over.
It wasn't until she just heard the sound of the door being slammed shut that Jiang Ning's heart seemed to skip a beat as well.
Suddenly, she remembered the two bodyguards stationed at the main gate.
Hao Manman's piercing shrieks were so ear-splitting that the high-decibel noise could carry very far, and it wouldn't be surprising at all if those two bodyguards heard something.
Jiang Ning decisively let go of Hao Manman in her hands and walked toward where Qi Xingzhou was located.
And what did she see!
If she had been a moment later, that stick would have landed on Qi Xingzhou!
Call her unreasonable if you will, say she is overprotective if you must.
