Gu Zhiqi's eyes filled with a trace of vigilance as she lightened her footsteps and continued to move forward slowly.
Just as she took a few steps forward, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the warehouse, along with voices.
"Why is the warehouse door unlocked?"
"I remember locking it before, what's going on?"
"Let's go in and check."
...
Hearing the voices outside, Gu Zhiqi lightly tapped the ground with her toes and swiftly leaped behind a pile of boxes.
As soon as she hid, the warehouse door opened, and at the same moment, Gu Zhiqi felt a faint familiar aura behind her.
"Don't move." A clear, low voice sounded in her ear, causing Gu Zhiqi to pause.
Because of her pause, the person smoothly placed a dagger against her neck.
When Gu Zhiqi realized it, the cold touch was already pressed against her neck.
Gu Zhiqi was silent for two seconds and tentatively called out, "Brother?"
