Shi Yao pursed her lips tightly in anxiety as she pushed the door with greater force than before.
The door still wouldn't budge. She couldn't see what was going on inside, but she could hear the foul insults and the sounds of punches and kicks sinking into flesh... and vaguely, the sound of someone groaning in pain as well.
Did that voice belong to Lin Jiage? Is he injured? Will he be okay?
He's only one person. He's facing against a gang of people, how can he possibly win?
Shi Yao knew that the rational choice in this situation would be to leave.
But it was as if someone had nailed her feet to the ground—she couldn't move at all. She smacked the door anxiously, frantically shouting Lin Jiage's name, wishing that he would just respond to her so that she'd know that he was still safe...
But despite her efforts, the person on the other end didn't speak a word.
And this left her feeling even more terrified and panicked.
