Ming Mei had just left when Zhao, who was lying in the corner, struggled to get up, and with her hand covered in blood, she summoned her last strength to strike the manual fire alarm button.
The piercing alarm sound immediately reverberated through the entire building, abruptly waking the slumbering night.
The lights in this building, including those in the surrounding ones, flickered on one after another.
Hearing the explosive sound, Ming Mei stopped in her tracks and turned to look back.
He too stopped and turned to look at her: "It seems someone wants to save you."
People started to come out into the corridor, frantic to escape. He moved closer to Ming Mei: "However... this means I can't take you away properly now."
Ming Mei suddenly turned around. What did he mean by that?
But Ming Mei didn't have time to think. She only saw him suddenly reaching out his hand and sprinkling some white powder on her face.
