Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her arm.

Ji Wei couldn’t figure it out, but the only thing she was certain of was that she had to find a way to escape!

She quickly walked to the window and lifted the curtain to look outside.

This was the second floor, and the window wasn’t very high off the ground. If she used tools to jump down, it wouldn’t be too difficult. But it seemed Nan Huiru had anticipated her move—two bodyguards were already stationed beneath the window.

Ji Wei stood at the window for a few seconds before the bodyguards noticed her.

She quickly stepped back, hiding her body behind the curtain.
