Chapter 327

By the next day, Xie Tianyi was indeed searching the entire city for Lan'er. Although Lan'er did not understand why Xie Tianyi’s son would help her, she knew that as long as she could avoid being caught by Xie Tianyi, she had a chance at survival. The previous night, she had mustered the courage to walk through the passageways before eventually arriving at this room. However, when she tried to escape, she found that all the doors were locked and even the windows would not budge. Lan'er dared not sleep all night; she watched as the night faded away and a faint light began to touch the sky. A sliver of dawn pierced through the window frames, spilling into the room like golden gauze, and the dim chamber gradually grew bright. Only then did Lan'er’s tense nerves begin to loosen. She rubbed her tired, aching eyes and, by the increasingly clear light, began to examine the room carefully. To her surprise, she discovered that the clothing laid out in the room was chillingly familiar—it was exactly what Mr. Qi wore on his regular visits to the teahouse.
