The female secretary sprained her ankle, with additional scrapes on her body, hobbling slowly and quickly falling behind.
Lu Changming was ruthless; he didn't help the female secretary immediately earlier, which led to mutual suspicion and hostility, so he simply ignored her now.
Gu Qingqiu saw so many people crowding around Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao, she fell behind too, resulting in her and the female secretary being attacked.
As for Brother Overcoat, he was chosen among the crowd, purely out of bad luck.
Gu Qingqiu reacted extremely quickly; the noose came from the side, her eyes moved up, and the moment she saw the noose appear over her head, she activated NO BODY.
Swish!
Gu Qingqiu teleported to the front, and the noose missed its target.
The female secretary and Brother Overcoat weren't as lucky, with the rope directly tightening around their necks. Just when they wanted to call for help, the tightening noose choked back their cries into their bellies.
