Shi Nian stood pressed against the door, not knowing how long she had been standing there, only aware that her legs had gone numb.
The walls of the room, including the door, were cushioned for soundproofing, making the sounds outside indistinct to her. Her communication with the outside could only break through the acoustic seal through the small gap under the door during the stillness of the night.
She couldn't hear what was happening outside, but she knew the person outside was gone.
The entire door gap was now just light, with no shadow.
Everything happened rather suddenly, and she didn't know what exactly transpired outside, but her intuition told her that the person might have been discovered and taken away by Gu Yong and his men.
The fate of that person was now worrying.
Uneasy, she pressed tightly against the door, straining her ears to catch even the faintest sound, just to confirm that he was okay.
