Yang Qi was about to decline—after all, a man and a woman alone together wasn't quite proper—but then his gaze followed Guo Yuxue's finger to the room she indicated. In the darkness, a faint, cold gleam of light flashed.
Someone's in there!
Yang Qi furrowed his brow and said, "Alright, let's go up together."
"My daughter is in the hospital, and her grandmother is looking after her," Guo Yuxue said. "I have to go take over for her later, so I won't be able to entertain you properly."
"Don't worry about it."
Without another word, they quickly arrived at the apartment door, which Guo Yuxue proceeded to unlock as usual.
The instant she opened it, Yang Qi yanked her behind him. At that exact moment, the cold glint of a blade stabbed out from within the room.
Yang Qi dodged the attack and lashed out with a kick, striking a man squarely in the abdomen. The man flew backward and crashed into someone behind him, triggering a series of startled screams.
