The man grabbed her hand and said urgently, "Come with me first!"
Shang Lvxing reached out a moment too late, watching helplessly as Lu Xining was pulled forward by him.
He exchanged a glance with Cheng Cang and quickly followed in hurried steps.
"Ji Muye, let go. I can run by myself."
In the silent white hallway of the biological laboratory, Lu Xining was being pulled swiftly forward by Ji Muye.
His voice was deep: "I'll let go in a moment."
Despite his words, not only did he not let go, he tightened his grip slightly, leading her through winding paths and bypassing small rooms one after another until they reached a safe spot.
The man was reluctant to release her hand, but he knew he had to at this moment.
She pulled her hand back before he could let go, looked at him, and asked, "Why did you come back?"
"You're still here. How could I leave?" He stared into her eyes, and every word he spoke carried weight.
Lu Xining: "..."
