Chapter 1978 - 1972: Sensing More Clearly

Ye Ning stopped after finishing her instructions, "Wait a minute."

Everyone noticed her expression suddenly became tense, as if she was looking at something.

Qian Ming from behind asked, "What, did your heat sensors detect something?"

"No, I didn’t see anything."

"Then you..."

"Shh..."

Ye Ning stopped him, standing silently with one hand outstretched to signal them to stop, devoid of any expression.

Yet, even the usually noisy Qian Ming quietly waited for her to act, and Gu Qingcheng also refrained from speaking.

Ye Ning said, "There’s movement."

"What kind of movement?"

"Someone’s here."

"High-tech equipment couldn’t detect..."

You noticed?

"Sometimes, high-tech can go wrong, but human instincts do not," Ye Ning said softly, and then suddenly her eyes flickered.

"Run, we’ve been discovered."

Ye Ning got up and ran.

Qian Ming hurriedly followed.

Of course, Gu Qingcheng wasn’t one to lag behind.

Though still a bit skeptical, he glanced back, and indeed, someone was chasing them.

"Over there, someone is over there."

"Quick, chase them down."

Ye Ning took a turn and jumped onto a rooftop.

Qian Ming followed suit, and on the rooftop, Ye Ning changed direction again, at a pace so fast it was hard to react.

Fortunately, everyone involved had received professional training and could keep up.

Gu Qingcheng watched from behind, inadvertently feeling amazed.

Why could she do it?

Why could she sense it, and react so quickly and nimbly?

Ye Ning saw a spot ahead and pulled Gu Qingcheng into a shadowy corner.

In no time, people quickly ran past them outside.

"Quickly find them, they couldn’t just disappear."

The footsteps slowly faded away, Ye Ning caught her breath and then looked to the side, saying to Qian Ming, "The position you mentioned should be there, right?"

"Yeah, that’s right, come on, that should be Zuo Qirui’s room." Qian Ming jumped onto the rooftop.

Ye Ning followed.

Dangling upside down from the rooftop, she could finally see the scene inside the room.

However, Ye Ning immediately saw...

Inside, a boy sat in the middle of the sofa, holding something.

Beside him, Zuo Qirui respectfully bowed his head, seemingly being reprimanded.

That was...

Xiaojian...

Having not seen him for so long, his transformation was surprising.

He had grown taller, still retained a childlike appearance, but those unchanged phoenix eyes exuded an icy coldness, the kind only killers with many victims would possess.

Ye Ning pondered, from a prince to ascending the throne.

What had he been through?

Her heart stirred slightly, recalling how this child once depended on her, affectionately calling her sister, even tugging at her clothes from behind, not wanting her to leave.

Those memories were so vivid, yet now it seemed as if he was a different child altogether...

Just then...

Those piercing eyes suddenly locked onto hers.

Ye Ning was startled, withdrawing her gaze, and quickly flipped backed atop the rooftop.

"We’ve been found," she said.

"Wow, that’s Zuo Qirui inside," Qian Ming remarked, as they turned to see a row of people with guns pointing at the rooftop.

"You are already surrounded."
