After waiting for a response for a long time without getting one, Chief Lü tilted his ear, muttered something, and closed the window, "Am I hallucinating again?"
Unable to escape or hide, Ruan Baozhu was soaking wet. She hugged herself tightly and huddled in a corner, praying that her grandfather would come back to save her soon.
