"Tap, tap——" The footsteps were heavy and growing clearer.
Indeed, there was someone here!
Ye Anqi couldn't see anything.
She leaned against the wall, not daring to make a sound.
She didn't know who it was; the only thing she could do was to wait and see.
But she could tell that the person coming was likely a man...
That person came from the opened passage, his direction clear—straight to her!
He must have discovered her.
Her shout had been so loud earlier; he definitely heard it...
Ye Anqi cautiously retreated, attempting to put some distance between them.
But not seeing, she suddenly tripped as she stepped back, falling hard onto the ground.
"Ugh—" Ye Anqi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The man's footsteps quickened.
Ye Anqi no longer hid, "Who are you?"
The man kicked her foot, then crouched down and reached out to support her.
Ye Anqi froze abruptly—
She was helped up by him. Then with a click, he lit a silver lighter.
