Chapter 21 .. The Great Escape

As Shen Wei began chanting in a foreign dialect, the guards turned their attention away.

Now.

Liang Chen moved first.

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed a small bomb toward the cage where Yan Mei and the children were locked.

BOOM! The explosion rattled the chamber, sending debris flying.

Guards shouted. People screamed.

Zhao Rui grabbed Yan Mei's wrist, pulling her toward the exit. "MOVE!"

Chaos erupted as smoke filled the air.

Liang Chen and Zhao Rui pushed through the confusion, guiding the terrified children and captives toward the staircase.

Liang Chen: "I really hope you know where we're going!"

Zhao Rui: "Does it LOOK like I know where we're going?!?"

They burst through a door—straight into Lin Xiu.

For a moment, everything froze.

Lin Xiu's gaze flickered to the terrified children behind them. Then she nodded.

"I'm with you."

Zhao Rui blinked. "Oh? No suspicious smile this time?"

Lin Xiu smirked. "I'll smile after we survive."

Together, they ran.
