Chapter 21 Saving People
"Tick-tock—Tick-tock—"
Bai Yanliang suddenly raised his head and listened carefully while leading Jiang Li down the stairs.
Seeing him suddenly stop, Jiang Li halted as well and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, gazing towards the upper floors. Although he couldn't see anything, he had a faint feeling that something was happening up there...
"Miss Jiang, did you hear... the sound of dripping water?"
Bai Yanliang's words startled Jiang Li. She then also listened closely. After Bai Yanliang's mention, she seemed to hear a faint ticking sound too, but... it was very subtle. If not for the quietness of this hotel, it would have been almost impossible to hear.
"Something's not right..."
Bai Yanliang murmured softly and then looked at Jiang Li, saying, "You should go first, Miss Jiang. I need to check the sixth floor."
Jiang Li's face changed. She hadn't expected Bai Yanliang to take such action, but... she really didn't dare to go down the dark stairs to the first floor alone!
Besides... although unspoken, Bai Yanliang indeed exuded a sense of safety.
This man seemed unafraid of anything?
