She nodded gently, carefully turning around and feeling her way into the inner room.
Bang!
In the corridor, Qian Xueying had already kicked open the second door, advancing a few more steps toward them.
Chu Xinqing quickened her pace, slipped into the inner room, and quietly peeked out to look at Qiao Liang. At this moment, Qiao Liang had already tiptoed to the door, gripping the piece of steel rebar hidden against the wall.
Turning his face to see Chu Xinqing, he immediately waved his hand to signal her to hide quickly.
Chu Xinqing hurriedly pulled her hand back, leaned against the wall, and crouched down bit by bit. She felt around her surroundings and found a heavy, rectangular object, unsure if it was a stone or something else. She immediately tightened her hands, gripping the object firmly in her palms.
By this time, light from the corridor had already seeped through the door crack, growing brighter and brighter—Qian Xueying had arrived nearby.
