The two guards, upon seeing her beauty, immediately felt lustful and dragged her to this more secluded place, intending to take advantage amidst the chaos.
She had no choice but to engage in a dance of deception, feigning compliance, and then in the instant the guard leapt over in haste, she plunged the knife in, precise and brutal.
The next second, she pulled it out and stabbed the guard who was turned away, watching for any signs of danger, at the back of his neck.
She never expected to be so decisive, her hands not trembling, delivering a deadly strike.
Of course, she was terrified at her first kill, but she had no other choice.
Shen Juncheng looked at her with eyes red-rimmed and voice trembling, not knowing why he felt slightly bitter in his heart. He took the dagger from her hand, placing it back into its sheath, his voice unconsciously softening, "I promised I would escort you out safely, and I won't go back on my word."
