Bang! A tall figure appeared on the rooftop where the two women and one child were moments ago.
This person was none other than Ji Ziming.
His gaze turned dark and solemn when he saw the empty area.
He had just found out from his secretary that Pei Ge had fled with their son and that Qiao Jingyun was hot on their heels!
“D*mn it!” he swore, whipping out his phone to call his assistant thereafter.
“Are those people here yet?”
A reply soon came back.
“Sir, they’re all on standby around the area now. As long as Ms. Qiao makes an appearance, they’ll kill her on the spot!”
His expression did not turn for the better with that but became more frigid, instead.
“Have them prioritize Pei Ge’s safety.”
He immediately hung up after saying that.
Following which, he turned to look at where a door was supposed to be and unhesitatingly went to pursue the three who had gone there.
Pei Ge, nothing must happen to you…
…
“Hah… hah… hah…”
Pei Ge, for her part, had no time to think about the man. After escaping from Qiao Jingyun’s clutches, she carried her son as she made her way in a dark corridor.
As this abandoned place was not scheduled for demolition in the meantime, the rooms here were nearly similar in design and color.
This was convenient when escaping but could also lead in people losing their way.
Even after running for a long time with Ji Chi in her arms, she still could not find the exit.
“Mommy…”
The child heard her panting and tightly hugged her neck.
“You must be tired. Let me down; I-I can walk by myself.”
As she had been running non-stop while carrying a child with considerable weight, her stamina was near bottoming.
Despite this, she did not put him down.
“Ping An, be a good boy. Mommy isn’t tired; mommy—”
She lowered her head gently.
Suddenly, she heard a series of footsteps.
Pak, pak, pak…
The pace of these footsteps was slow, yet the sound of them came clearly to their ears. The scariest thing was that the footsteps were getting nearer!
The mother-son pair shut their mouths at once. After surveying her surroundings, she took light footsteps and hid behind the corner of a nearby wall.
Pak!
The footsteps got nearer and suddenly stopped.
“Come out; I know you’re here. I heard your footsteps moments ago. Your running is so slow!”
After the footsteps stopped, Qiao Jingyun’s voice rang out.
“It’s not that I want to say this, but you should leave your son behind and escape. Only then can you escape from me!”
Pei Ge frowned at this. This woman!
If it were before with her son not being here, she would truly rush out to fight with this woman.
Alas, she had the boy in her arms to protect right now, so she could not take such a risk.
“Do you know? Even if you gave birth to triplets for the Ji family, it’s still useless because…”
