Dou Jie clutched his backpack tightly, his footsteps brisk and forehead slick with cold sweat. He had passed the fifth and fourth floors but hadn't seen any sign of Xiao Yaqin. Even after he rushed out of the apartment building, there was still no trace of her.
Dou Jie muttered to himself that this was bad. Most likely something had happened. After all, the area around the apartment was pitch dark, and Xiao Yaqin had twisted her ankle—there was no way she could have gone far.
He didn't have much of a relationship with Xiao Yaqin, and naturally, it wasn't worth risking his life to go back for her. Besides, even if he did, the chances of finding her were slim to none. Making a decisive choice, he gripped his bag tighter and dashed toward the parking spot where Yu Kai and Boss Sun were waiting, as he remembered.
