Yu Sile cursed under his breath, his fists clenching as his expression darkened. "Damn it! Who took her?!"
Yu Holea, however, remained still.
She stared at the spot where Yu Mei had just been restrained moments ago.
She exhaled softly.
"So," she murmured to herself, her voice barely audible, "this was the trigger they were waiting for."
A presence. A protector lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to act.
Whoever had taken Yu Mei had been watching all along. And tonight—tonight, they made their move.
Qiao Jun, noticing her thoughtful expression, stepped closer and gently patted her back. When she turned to him, he nodded.
A silent understanding passed between them.
Yu Holea had long ago known that a day like that would come, but she never thought it would come so soon.
The dark entity was dealt with, and now only the protector behind Yu Mei was remaining.
