"Wen Yongxin, wait!"

Shao Yong'an ran the fastest, yet all he could see was Wen He's retreating back. Wen Yongxin was nowhere to be found.

The building at 444 Diaoying Road had a fairly complicated interior layout.

It contained not only apartments but also some office spaces, all mixed together in a complex structure that made it extremely hard to get one's bearings.
