The remaining students stared at one another in stunned silence.
Then, as though finally realizing the gravity of the situation, they scrambled to their feet and fled after him, leaving the warehouse in complete disarray.
Professor Feng paid them no attention.
His entire focus had already shifted to Gou Feng.
He hurried over and knelt beside him, quickly unlocking the cuffs around his wrists before moving to his ankles.
The metal restraints fell to the floor with a dull clang.
Professor Feng carefully looked Gou Feng over, his expression softening with concern.
"Can you stand?"
His voice had calmed, though the anger simmering beneath it was still unmistakable.
"If not, don't force yourself. I'll help you."
Relief washed over Gou Feng. He let out a quiet breath before giving a small shake of his head.
"No, Professor... I'm alright."
His voice was slightly hoarse.
"I can still stand."
Professor Feng gave a small nod.
