You had only been away from the group for a few minutes. That was all it took.

While Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang agreed to meet up later, you went your separate direction from them to find a building that everyone suspected may contain clues relating to their case.

However, the pathway to the building was skeptical. You were walking in a dim, narrow alleyway between two buildings, slightly unsure of where you were going in the unfamiliar city.

Liu Xiao watched as you entered the alleyway before maneuvering his way forward, his footsteps silent enough so that you wouldn’t notice his approach.

Then, when he was close enough, he moved suddenly. He reached out and grabbed onto your arm in an attempt to yank you backward.
