In the silent room, the indescribable sounds were all the more distinct.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to hear the noise and silently hung up.

Chu Wuyang glanced at the phone screen and saw that it had gone dark; the call had automatically ended.

She naturally let go of his arm around her shoulder.

But the person who had just become engrossed in it wouldn't let her let go, pulling her tightly.

Chu Wuyang's lack of cooperation,

A chill ran through Jing Min's heart as a faint voice sounded.

"Should we continue, or rush over now to collect the body?"

Taking advantage of Jing Min's momentary lapse in attention, Chu Wuyang forcefully pushed him aside and tried to run towards the door.

"You're absolutely insane!"

Jing Min's long legs caught up with the person in front of him in just a few steps, pulling him into his arms, his voice cool.

"You say I'm crazy? Then I'll show you how crazy I can be."

Chu Wuyang broke free from him and fled to a safe location, but the room was only so big, where could she escape to?

As the door lock clicked,

Chu Wuyang's eyes widened, a bad premonition washing over her; she was afraid of his roughness.

The brutality of that year still lingers in my memory, unable to conceal the old wounds in my heart.

The voice was threatening, tinged with tears.

"Don't come any closer! Grandpa won't let you get away with this! The Chu family won't let you get away with this!"

Jing Min slowly approached her, his cold voice carrying a hint of contempt.

"Ha! The Chu family, with its inner core eroded to the point of being nothing but a dilapidated shell, what is there to fear?"

He walked up to her, reached out and touched her head, comforting her.

"My darling, don't you understand? The building is about to collapse, only I can protect you, only I can you rely on."

He then picked her up and carried her to the bedside.
