The hearts of the two skipped a beat.
They exchanged a glance, a bad premonition washing over them.
The knocking on the door grew increasingly intense, sounding like a fist pounding forcefully.
If it were an ordinary person, there’s no way they would knock so rudely.
Ji Wei suddenly recalled the text message from Gu Moqian, and her complexion changed. Pulling the still-stunned Nami to her feet, she quickly headed towards the bedroom.
She opened the wardrobe and pushed Nami inside, instructing, "Hide here, and whatever you do, don’t make a sound. No matter what happens outside, do not come out, understand?"
Having said that, Ji Wei turned to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Nami: "But you—"
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."
Ji Wei gave her a reassuring look, then shut the wardrobe door and walked out of the bedroom.
The door was already shaking from the pounding, an old apartment wouldn’t withstand such force.
Just as expected, the door was quickly kicked open by someone.
Several black-clad intruders swarmed in.
Ji Wei stood there, surrounded by the black-clad figures, her expression surprisingly calm.
Gu Moqian was right in his assumption. Yamamoto Yu wouldn’t let her off easily; that’s why they found her so quickly.
The black-clad intruders were momentarily stunned by Ji Wei’s overly calm demeanor. She couldn’t help but sneer, "Aren’t you here to capture me? What are you waiting for? Acting , Mr. Yamamoto will be disappointed."
For now, going with these black-clad men was the only way to ensure Nami’s safety. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Two black-clad men came to their senses and escorted Ji Wei out, one on each side. The third one seemed more cautious and stayed behind to thoroughly search the room.
Seeing this, Ji Wei frowned, "There’s nothing more to search in such a small space, is there?"
The black-clad man did not listen, already moving close to the bedroom and attempting to push the door open.
Ji Wei’s heart pounded fiercely!
If this continues, Nami will definitely be found!
Once discovered, Nami would be considered an accomplice and she would likely never have peace again. She would not let Nami’s life be ruined by this; she had no involvement in any of it.
In a moment of desperation, Ji Wei suddenly broke free from the grip of the two black-clad men and sprinted towards the kitchen.
There was an open window in the kitchen, just enough for a person to slip through. The apartment was on the second floor, and there was a small balcony outside; jumping down would not pose any harm.
Without thinking, Ji Wei climbed out the window.
The three black-clad men hadn’t expected Ji Wei to suddenly resist and flee; they hurriedly gave chase.
Ji Wei ran forward with all her might, knowing she would eventually be caught, but she still wanted to delay them as much as possible to give Nami a chance to escape.
After running into a narrow alley, Ji Wei found herself trapped by the black-clad men from both ends, no escape route left.
The leading black-clad man walked over, pinching her face as he arrogantly stared at her and spoke in English, "Why run? It’s futile."
Ji Wei forcefully twisted her head, shook off his dirty hand, her gaze as sharp as a knife, a smile not reaching her eyes: "I never intended to run. I just wanted to toy with you all a bit. How is it? A little early morning run for exercise, it does wonders, doesn’t it?"
Ji Wei drew out a blatantly mocking smile.
The black-clad man was infuriated by Ji Wei’s relaxed and triumphant words, raising his hand to slap her, but before the slap landed, Ji Wei coldly rebuked, "You dare!"
