The three of them immediately became alert, as they had previously agreed.
A piece of rope was placed outside. Whenever there was a situation,
a pull would cause the wind chimes inside to ring.
In this way, even if the outsiders couldn't hear any movement, those inside could still be forewarned, benefitting both sides.
Jhiang Yuan quickly got up from the couch, followed closely by Ye Mianmian.
The matter of solving the case through gossip would be discussed later.
The three girls all gathered close to listen carefully.
If someone were to come up, they couldn't open the door right away, as the sound of the door opening might alert that group.
They had to wait for the next signal, which they had agreed upon earlier.
However, there was surprisingly no movement for a long time.
Ye Mianmian was growing impatient. If not for Jhiang Yuan holding her back, she probably would have opened the door and gone out.
Fortunately, after about ten minutes, the wind chimes rang again.
