The footsteps of the bodyguards hastened, and the masked man waved his hand, shooting out a rope. He quickly pulled himself up the rope to the rooftop and vanished from Chi Zaozao's line of sight.
By the time a large group of bodyguards arrived, the masked man had disappeared without a trace.
Chi Zaozao sat on the grass, encircled by a group of bodyguards.
Jin Chengzhi also hurried over, pulling up Chi Zaozao and asking worriedly, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Chi Zaozao shook her head blankly, "I'm fine."
"Who took you out of the sleeping palace?"
How could Chi Zaozao come down from such a high building completely unscathed?
Jin Chengzhi felt that something was suspicious, certain that someone wanted to take her away.
And that person must be Ye Que.
"A man, I didn't see clearly. When I heard you all coming, he left," Chi Zaozao told the truth.
She didn't know whether the man was a friend or foe or why he said he wanted to take her home.
