But just in case, she had to go and check on the situation.
Xia Wan is still invisible. After catching up with Cui Ziqi, she was already at the entrance of the villa building.

Upon seeing the silver spear in Cui Ziqi's hand, Zheng Minghuai's eyes narrowed, and he felt a slight pain in his shoulder.
