Song Yansheng heard the gunshot from above and was startled. He disregarded the obstacles around him and rushed straight down the underground passage.
Panicked, he descended the stairs, and as soon as he reached the basement, he heard Yu Yao's exclamation. She shouted, "Aunt Tong—"
Aunt Tong was curled up against Yu Yao, weakly gasping, "Lady…"
Just as she finished the words, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, splattering Yu Yao all over.
On the other side, Zhong Jinnan was also taken aback. He didn't expect this seemingly insignificant maid to be so loyal to Yu Yao.
If he remembered correctly, she had been driven out of the Song Family by Song Yansheng back then.
Anxious and having made a mistake just now, he regretted the moment he pulled the trigger.
Even though he had planned for the worst, he still didn't want to hurt Yu Yao; he couldn't bear it.
If this maid hadn't run over suddenly, he might have already committed the biggest mistake of his life.
