Jian Dan carefully led Sizhe through the small building while searching for Yuanyuan, encountering many traps along the way, but Jian Dan was able to neutralize each one, which gained Sizhe a new appreciation for Jian Dan.
Originally, Sizhe thought the vest Jian Dan was wearing was provided by Chu Liyuan, but to his surprise, she actually had her own protective gear.
Finally, they found Yuanyuan in the furthest room on the second floor.
Yuanyuan was lying on a pristine white bed, her face marked with fear, but hope appeared when she saw the arrivals were Jian Dan and Sizhe.
At the sight of Yuanyuan, Sizhe became so emotional that he rushed forward immediately.
But thanks to prior experience, Jian Dan was more cautious, and stopped Sizhe in his tracks, âCheck first!â
Although Jian Dan was also deeply concerned about Yuanyuanâs situation, if they were captured or harmed, all hope would truly be lost.
Once again, Jian Dan used the chain on her wrist to cautiously probe ahead, but strangely, this time there was no reaction.
Just when Sizhe thought there were no traps and wanted to rush to save Yuanyuan, he barely took two steps before triggering a mechanism. If Jian Dan hadnât react quickly, Sizhe might have been riddled with holes.
âSizhe, do you think youâre too tall or something? Didnât I tell you not to move?â
âSorry! I was just too anxious!â
âI know youâre worried, but you have to understand, if we both get into trouble, who will save Yuanyuan?â
âI got it, Iâll listen to you from now on. Iâll move when you tell me to!â This time Sizhe was thoroughly impressed with Jian Dan.
If it werenât for Jian Dan, he wouldnât know how many times he could have died.
In fact, Yuanyuan had wanted to warn them earlier, but unfortunately, she had been fed some unknown drug, and now had no strength in her body, nor could she speak.
So, she could only watch them with eyes wide open as they narrowly avoided danger, helpless to intervene.
After confirming there were no other traps, Jian Dan and Sizhe finally approached the bedside together.
Sizhe immediately grabbed Yuanyuanâs hand, âXinjie, are you okay? Are you hurt?â
Faced with Sizheâs concern, Yuanyuan was unable to respond verbally and could only express her feelings through tears.
âXinjie, why arenât you speaking?
Jian, Xinjie must have been drugged.â As a doctor, Sizhe immediately saw what was wrong with Yuan Xinjie.
âIs it serious?â Jian Dan asked worriedly.
âI canât determine what drug they gave Xinjie here, so we need to get her to a hospital as soon as possible!â
âOkay! Then letâs leave this place quickly.â
Upon hearing Jian Danâs words, without a momentâs hesitation, Sizhe scooped up Yuanyuan, but just as they left the room, they ran into that same man again.
That man was holding a red-star pistol, his eyes filled with a disturbing madness.
âI havenât had the chance to âenjoyâ this woman yet. Do you really think I would let you take her away?â The manâs voice was incredibly unsettling to hear.
When they saw Yuanyuan just moments ago, although Jian Dan and Sizhe didnât say anything, the scene before them already spoke volumes. Yet, the manâs words shattered their last doubts, and their previously suppressed emotions suddenly lifted significantly.
Jian Dan suddenly threw her head back and laughed uncontrollably.
The man was caught off guard for a few seconds by this, and in those few short seconds, Jian Dan swung the chain in her hand and struck the hand holding the gun. The man cried out in pain and the pistol clattered to the groundâ¦
