"Climb up, quickly!" Hearing Lu Huai's words from below, Wen Nannan steadied her mind, held her breath, and scrambled onto the rooftop using both hands and feet.
Once up, she hurriedly reached out to pull Daddy Lu up.
But in the next moment, Lu Huai leaped over her outstretched hand, effortlessly landing on the roof.
Wen Nannan… So, it turns out she was the only one who needed help.
As soon as they got up, they heard the sound of a door opening below, followed by two people conversing inside.
"Captain Wang, there's no one in the police chief's office."
"Forget it, the lost one is lost. Protect me and let's leave immediately."
Then, with a slam, the door closed, and footsteps faded away. Wen Nannan breathed a sigh of relief on the rooftop. They were safe for the moment.
The brief respite allowed her to calm down, and she realized something was amiss.
