Shen Jialiang grabbed the rope and decisively stepped over it.

He had one foot on the slope of another building when his foot slipped and he almost fell.

Chen Jiayi's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped the railing tightly.

Fortunately, Shen Jialiang had amazing arm strength, holding the rope with one hand and the opposite half of the wall with the other.

Shen Jialiang flipped over and then loosened the rope.

Chen Jiayi quickly gathered up the rope and then went to the spot where Shen Jialiang had climbed over.

She glanced down; it was about 4 meters high.

Chen Jiayi was a little scared; she pursed her lips and looked nervous.

At the same time, they heard sounds coming from the stairs.

"Could it be on the rooftop?"

"I don't know, if we go up and check, we'll get poisoned."

Shen Jialiang whispered, "Jiayi, it's okay, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing Shen Jialiang's words, Chen Jiayi closed her eyes.

She mustered her courage, flipped herself over, and reached one hand toward Shen Jialiang.

Shen Jialiang held her hand tightly.

"Listen to me, I'll count to three, and when it's three, you push hard and I'll pull you up."

"good."

"1, 2, 3!"

The two worked together very well. Just as Chen Jiayi was pulled over to the balcony by Shen Jialiang, they heard someone open the rooftop door.

Shen Jialiang pulled Chen Jiayi down to squat down. Hearing the sound from the neighboring balcony so close by, Chen Jiayi's breath caught in her throat.

"Nobody's here, let's go."

"That's strange, where could he have hidden?"

"We searched the women's restroom, but found nothing. We also have officers guarding the entrances of both buildings, but we didn't see anyone run out!"

"Who knows? Oh well! Let's keep looking!"

Hearing their conversation, the two of them gained a basic understanding of their thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiayi frowned.

Their conversation revealed that someone was guarding the entrance downstairs.

If they want to go out, they can't just walk out the door openly, otherwise Lin Yuyao will catch them.

After hearing them leave, Chen Jiayi stood up, but squatting for a long time was putting pressure on the nerves in her legs.

Chen Jiayi's calves felt numb, and she felt dizzy. When she stood up, she swayed and almost fainted.

Shen Jialiang reacted quickly and caught Chen Jiayi. He reached out to support her and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright.

Are you alright?

Chen Jiayi awkwardly stepped out of Shen Jialiang's embrace.

She shook her head and tugged at her clothes.

Fortunately, she was wearing a dress-like outfit today, so she wouldn't expose herself even when making some large movements.

Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang went downstairs together. They were very careful as they went downstairs, afraid that Lin Yuyao's people might suddenly appear.

When Lin Yuyao heard that Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang had not been found yet, her face immediately darkened.

Someone beside Lin Yuyao whispered in her ear, "Miss, it'll be too late if we don't leave now. Shen Jialiang is a nationally protected figure. Your actions today have attracted everyone's attention. How are you going to leave later?"

Lin Yuyao was somewhat indignant. She knew that what the people around her were right, but she still felt a little unwilling.

One of the people on the side continued, "Miss, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years! If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

In a short period of time, Lin Yuyao received several million yuan. Many wealthy young men and women present quickly transferred money to Lin Yuyao's account.

Her actions today were aimed at undermining the enemy's strength.

After the money was deposited into the card, someone was immediately asked to transfer it out.

Lin Yuyao had already changed into a set of everyday clothes, and she coldly swept her gaze over everyone present.

"Walk!"

The Lin family has a secret passage, which was dug out to protect them from the Japanese invaders.

This was perfect for Lin Yuyao, who led her people out through the secret passage.

As for the others? Lin Yuyao didn't care whether they lived or died.

Lin Chen'an returned with the police officers and saw the mess left behind by Lin Yuyao.

He was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

Chi Mengqiu walked up to Lin Chen'an, who thought she was there to comfort him.

He sighed, "Mengqiu, you don't need to say anything, I understand."

Chi Mengqiu was stunned for a moment, then gave Shen Jialiang a strange look.

"It's good that you understand. My family gave me 200,000 yuan. Given our relationship, please pay me back as soon as possible."

"?"

Lin Chen'an was completely bewildered. After realizing what was happening, he quickly explained.

"Qiuqiu, this 200,000 yuan was extorted from you by my sister, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Go tell that to the police officer!"

Chi Mengqiu snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Chi Mengqiu felt insulted to even say a single word to this scumbag.

Lin Chen'an's eyes darkened, and he asked Du Guizhi through gritted teeth.

"Mom, what exactly did Lin Yuyao do?"

After escaping, Lin Chen'an did not go downstairs with his parents, but instead quietly slipped out and chose to call the police.

Yes, he was the one who called the police.

Lin Yuyao has already caused enough harm to the Lin family, and now she wants to use their influence to extort so much money!

Has she gone mad?

Du Guizhi stammered and couldn't say anything. Lin Chen'an was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he roared at Du Guizhi.

"Tell me! Are you trying to protect her if you don't tell me now?"

Du Guizhi trembled in fright when she heard Lin Chen'an's angry voice.

She quickly shook her head and explained to Lin Chen'an.

"No...it's just...I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the blow."
