Seeing Chen Ke run out of the room, Xu Jing hurriedly followed, her blue eyes instantly capturing the silhouette of a man.
The quiet corridor echoed with crisp footsteps; at the same time, they also heard the clanking of heavy chains swinging.

Chen Ke pushed the door open and looked at the man inside—it was indeed Jacob.
Xu Jing entered through another door, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, blocked all of Jacob's escape routes.
