บท 111: Surprise surprise

Jia locked the man's wrists to the living room table's leg with handcuffs. Swiftly pulling out her gun from her holster, she made her way towards the bedroom. The adrenaline spike caused her heart to drum faster in worry for Lim. She aimed the gun dead straight ahead of her.

The man froze on the spot. He jerked his head up and saw the gun aimed at him.

"Step back," Jia chillingly warned. "Step back from Lim right now!"
