Chen Zheng made his decision without a moment's hesitation. As for the mysterious evidence collection card, he didn't give it much thought.
He straightened his back and reached out to take Yan Lili's hand. "Lily, if you don't want to go, then stay. Come, sit by my side."
His voice was gentle but firm, and a current of True Qi pulsed from his fingertips. The power flowed into Yan Lili's hand like a gentle stream, effortlessly prying Huang Yingying's grip away.
Huang Yingying's eyes filled with confusion; she had no idea why her hand had suddenly let go. By then, Chen Zheng and Yan Lili were already seated.
"Yingying, I really don't want to go. My brother and I will be leaving shortly," Yan Lili said, her voice calm and resolute, as if her mind was already made up. Still, anxiety gnawed at her heart.
Just then, Zhong Jiang walked over. "Lily, why haven't you come? We've been waiting for a long time."
