Chenxing’s heart tightened as she held Luo Xi’s dislocated arm. She closed her eyes and recalled the only ti she had reset soone’s dislocated joint in Liberia.
To be honest, she learned a lot in Liberia. In places with scarce dical resources, nurses have to learn everything. Fortunately, she was quick-witted, and anything taught to her was instantly understood.
Opening her eyes again, the panic in her gaze had lessened sowhat.
A few minutes later, two cracking sounds echoed. Chenxing stood in front of Luo Xi, cold sweat erging on her back. Excited yet nervous, she stared at her, "Cousin, how do you feel?"
She felt a lack of confidence deep down.
Luo Xi was moving her arm. Monts later, a frank and open smile appeared on her face, and she praised without reservation, "You’re amazing."
"Really?" Chenxing almost jumped with excitent, yet the next second realized she couldn’t be overly excited. She quickly covered her mouth, her beautiful bright eyes full of pride.
"But how do we get out?"
This warehouse is closed all around, and the only exit is the door, which must have soone guarding it outside.
Chenxing’s face was full of worry. Luo Xi, however, was searching around the warehouse, eager to find a hole in the ground.
Finally, she stopped.
Chenxing hurried over, "Cousin, did you find sothing?"
"Look up there." Luo Xi pointed to a spot above the container. Chenxing couldn’t see anything, but Luo Xi excitedly said, "It’s a ventilation duct. We can crawl out through it."
"But it’s so high."
Luo Xi squatted down, "Step on my back. You climb onto the container first. Keep the noise down and try not to alert the people outside. The ventilation ducts are interconnected; we can definitely find an exit."
At this life-or-death mont, even if it were a rat hole, Luo Xi would tell her to crawl through it. Chenxing thought she would indeed do it without hesitation, fearing that if she were slow, soone might open the door and co in.
Although Luo Xi didn’t know the exact location of the ship, she was certain that the ventilation ducts would lead to an exit.
The two crawled up the tall container one after the other. Luo Xi opened the window on the wall’s ventilation duct. It was very narrow, requiring soone small to fit through, "Chenxing, you go in first."
"Cousin, will I get stuck inside, unable to get in or out?"
"Don’t worry. It can fit one person. Although movent is restricted, you can still try."
For the sake of freedom, let’s go!
Chenxing gritted her teeth and crawled into the ventilation duct, followed closely by Luo Xi. The two climbed through the ventilation ducts, searching all over for an exit, avoiding corridors and restaurants, until finally they crawled out through a restroom exit. Luo Xi’s descent was swift and smooth, while Chenxing had to laboriously manage the task.

Ti, four-thirty in the afternoon.
Gu Shaocheng sat steadfastly in the car, parked at the port pier, surrounded by bodyguards.
They waited, waiting for phone calls.
From their own people and from the kidnappers.
"Bro, I’ve blocked the open sea entirely. Any ship, even if it sails from this port, won’t leave City E safely." Nan Baihao’s voice ca through the phone and quickly hung up.
