The quiet of the night felt terrifying.
In the darkness, An Ning suddenly heard rustling noises coming from the doorway.
Already thinking Gao Dashu and Madam Gao had been acting strange today, she became even calmer now, sensing something off.
An Ning gently lifted the quilt off her body, got out of bed, and darted under it.
Sure enough, not long after, the door was pushed open.
In the moonlight streaming through the open door, An Ning saw four feet, two of which clearly belonged to Madam Gao.
The footsteps came closer, accompanied by An Dashu's surprised voice, "Mother, there's only little sister on the bed, not An Ning, that damned girl!"
"How could that be? You locked the door from the inside when you opened it. If she's not in the room, where else could she be?"
"Oh my goodness, Mother, people from Madam Hua are waiting at the door right now. Let's find her first; otherwise, we won't have solved the issue with the gambling house, and now we'll offend Madam Hua too!"
