A shadow skimmed past him, and he whistled.
Bai Li instantly darted into the dark alley, spotting a severely injured Rong Ning. He was momentarily shocked but quickly went up to support him, "Your Highness, how did you... escape?"
Captured by Chu Heng, he actually managed to come out alive?
Rong Ning noticed the unusual glint in Bai Li's eyes and said calmly, "Su Miaoyan's golden-threaded armor saved my life. First, help me get out of here."
"Yes." Bai Li supported him out of the alley, pretending to care while reaching for a dagger at his waist.
Rong Ning appeared weak, eyes closed as if resting, but the moment Bai Li pulled out the knife, he swiftly snatched it, grabbed Bai Li's wrist, flipped him around, and pinned him to the ground.
His expression was icy, "Chu Heng didn't kill me, but you're waiting here to do it?"
Bai Li was extremely alarmed, "Your Highness... what are you doing? I'm trying to ensure everything is foolproof and protect Your Highness!"
