Chapter 45: Qi Chao, Take Him Along

Tang Ke halted, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized Qi Huan, attempting to detect any signs of deceit on his face.

Just as the standoff persisted, a piercing siren abruptly pierced the air.

Tang Ke's expression changed drastically, and Qi Chao seized the moment to speak: "If I were you, I'd make a quick getaway while I still can."

Ning Jin, her legs flailing in mid-air with her mouth gagged, could only emit muffled whimpers.

She was pleading for help.

Qi Huan gritted his teeth, fixing a steely gaze on Tang Ke as he revealed his trump card. "The genuine eldest daughter of the Chi family has a jade pendant around her neck, an invaluable heirloom of the Chi clan. If you don't believe me, search her."

No need to search further.

The man who had previously choked Chi Yu by the neck approached the corner of the wall, yanked Chi Yu up, and briskly moved towards Tang Ke.
