Xu Jing, Xiao Yi, and Mr. Yao were all focused on the Government Official speaking, not noticing Xin Lei's actions until they saw the sudden change in the Official's expression, causing their hearts to skip a beat.
The next moment, Xu Jing heard a "clang" behind her and quickly turned around, only to see Zhou Xian rushing over at some point and kicking Xin Lei to the ground.
Not far away on the ground lay a dagger gleaming with cold light, evidently the source of the sound when it fell to the ground earlier.
Xu Jing was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood what had happened, and quickly looked towards Zhou Xian standing in front of her.
Earlier, when everyone went inside to search, Xu Jing thought he would run in as well, but unexpectedly, he stayed outside with them without saying a word, so Xu Jing didn't pay him any mind.
Suddenly, Xu Jing frowned and said, "Your hand is injured, go bandage it."
