Before Nanzhi could celebrate for long, she could see a crowd rushing towards her when she was still two streets away from the Hongfu Building.
Fearing that the four children would be knocked down, Nanzhi quickly moved them aside to avoid the rush.
Lin Zihan, being the eldest among the children, also extended his hand to keep his younger siblings behind him.
Seeing the panicked look on people's faces and that they were coming from the direction of Zuitingxuan, Nanzhi felt a twinge of unease.
Could something have happened?
Where were their mothers?
Anxious, Nanzhi was torn between going against the crowd to find the others and ensuring the safety of the children.
While hesitating, she spotted a familiar face, only to brighten up.
"Gu Lang! Over here!"
Nanzhi waved high with one hand while shielding the children with the other.
Gu Lang, who was feeling a bit dizzy and muddled, turned his head towards the sound of his name.
